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. Clay Calls in from Italy Clay calls from Rome and 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. A Critical Race in NC Buck welcomes Michael Whatley, former RNC Chair and current candidate for U.S. Senate in North Carolina.

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. Whatley warns of the massive financial burden on state resources—from Medicaid to education—and contrasts his tough-on-crime stance with Cooper’s record of vetoing tax cuts, police pay raises, and bills protecting women’s sports. 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 Misled Boss Babes 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. He calls for a cultural reset that prioritizes stable family formation and meaningful relationships over superficial social media-driven dating norms. Listeners join the discussion, sharing real-world observations about generational shifts in marriage and family priorities. Buck closes with candid insights on dating culture, noting how social media amplifies superficiality and how men and women differ in what they value in partners.

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. The show then pivots to the Epstein Transparency Act, which passed unanimously in the Senate after near-unanimous House approval.

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. Political implications dominate the conversation as Buck warns that Democrats will weaponize the Epstein release to attack Trump, regardless of what the files reveal. He cites comments from Speaker Mike Johnson and Senator Chuck Schumer, framing the push as partisan posturing rather than genuine concern for victims. Buck also questions why the Biden DOJ didn’t act sooner if incriminating evidence existed, highlighting the hypocrisy and strategic timing behind the current push. Later in the hour, Buck previews upcoming topics, including Trump’s efforts to strengthen U.S.-Saudi relations and advance Middle East peace through expanded Abraham Accords. He also teases an interview with Michael Watley, North Carolina Senate candidate, to discuss immigration enforcement and its impact on schools and communities.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

They also preview an upcoming interview with Steve Hilton about California’s wildfire recovery delays and discuss President Trump’s renewed interest in the Jeffrey Epstein financial mystery, calling for transparency from major banks involved in Epstein’s wealth accumulation 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 and Buck Sexton Show delivers a politically charged and investigative 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. The conversation then shifts to California politics with a live interview featuring 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. The hour wraps with humorous banter about Eric Swalwell potentially entering the governor’s race, jokes about mashed potatoes and Fang Fang, and listener feedback on the hosts’ lack of handyman skills. Clay and Buck close the segment by previewing the next hour and thanking their audience for sticking with them through a week of hard-hitting political coverage.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful blend of political analysis, cultural critique, and personal reflection, anchored by breaking news and audience engagement. The hour opens with 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. The hour then shifts to lighter but thought-provoking topics, including the etiquette of speakerphone use in public and the growing influence of apps like OpenTable and Uber on consumer behavior. Clay and Buck debate whether consumers should be rated by restaurants and rideshare services, similar to how drivers and businesses are reviewed. They discuss the implications of data tracking, social credit systems, and the fairness of mutual accountability between service providers and users. Clay shares personal anecdotes about his Uber rating being affected by his children’s behavior, while Buck jokes about his superior rating and preference for safety over speed.The hosts also explore the emotional stakes of date nights and holiday outings, sharing humorous stories about Valentine’s Day mishaps, New Year’s Eve expectations, and SantaCon chaos in New York City. They emphasize the importance of planning ahead and the social dynamics of restaurant reservations, including how being recognized by staff can dramatically improve the dining experience. A memorable story is shared about receiving VIP treatment at Billy Martin’s Tavern in Washington, D.C., thanks to soccer legend Alexi Lalas being part of their group. Hour 3 wraps up with reflections on the intersection of technology, privacy, and consumer profiling, as well as a preview of upcoming political coverage. The hosts maintain their signature blend of humor, insight, and audience connection, closing the week with a mix of serious commentary and light-hearted banter.

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. The hosts call for urgent reform of defamation and libel laws to protect public figures and citizens from malicious AI content. What H-1B Visas Are Supposed To Be The H-1B visa program triggers 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. 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.

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.

They emphasize the need for a merit-based immigration system that protects American workers and ensures national competitiveness.

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.

Dishonest Dems A deep dive 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. If They Could Do This to You... Conservative activist Robby Starbuck shares a disturbing account of AI defamation.

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.

Unanimous consent could have expedited the process, but some Democrats (e.g., Bernie Sanders) were accused of obstructing. 3. ✈️ Impact on Travel and Public Services TSA agents and air traffic controllers were working without pay, leading to sick-outs and flight delays. Even after reopening, normal operations may take several days to resume. 4. 📜 Legislation Introduced Deporting Fraudsters Act of 2025: Would make welfare fraud by illegal immigrants a deportable offense. Cites statistics on non-citizens receiving SNAP and WIC benefits. Claims a 10-year cost of $15 billion due to illegal immigrant access to benefits.

The hosts argue that the Obama family received unprecedented media grace and support, especially compared to other presidential families, including the Bushes, Clintons, and the current First Family under President Donald Trump. The show also explores the controversial topic of transgender athletes in women’s sports, spotlighting the International Olympic Committee’s evolving stance on eligibility criteria. Clay and Buck highlight the biological advantages of male athletes who identify as female and criticize what they see as the erosion of fairness in competitive sports. They reference high-profile cases like Lia Thomas and discuss broader implications for the integrity of women’s athletics, praising President Trump’s position on protecting women’s sports categories. Listeners also hear about Clay’s new book Balls, which blends autobiography with cultural critique, particularly focusing on the politicization of sports and the decline of meritocracy. The hosts celebrate its strong sales and potential placement on the New York Times bestseller list, encouraging fans to support the audiobook version. Toward the end of the hour, the show touches on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s apparent presidential ambitions, with speculation about his positioning as a leading Democratic contender. The hosts debate his electability and compare him to other potential candidates, noting his strong donor base and national recognition. The hour wraps with listener talkbacks, humorous pop culture references—including Pee-wee Herman’s “Large Marge”—and a lighthearted exchange about Clay’s treadmill habits during the show’s video recordings.   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.

In Hour 1, Clay and Buck break down the major political headlines following a pivotal election night. The discussion opens with Zohran Mamdani’s historic win in New York City, where he captured just over 50% of the vote in one of the city’s highest-turnout elections in decades. The hosts analyze why Mamdani’s campaign resonated, citing his energy, entertainment factor, and ability to mobilize younger voters and recent arrivals to the city. They highlight demographic trends, including Mamdani’s overwhelming support among Black voters and strong backing from millennials, Hispanics, and Asians. The conversation then shifts to Democratic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, emphasizing the GOP’s turnout problem. Clay points out that 600,000 Trump voters stayed home in these states compared to the 2024 presidential election, raising alarms for 2026 and 2028. Buck underscores that while these were tough races in blue-leaning states, Republicans must address enthusiasm gaps when Trump isn’t on the ballot. Economic concerns dominate the analysis, with both hosts stressing that inflation, cost of living, and healthcare remain the top issues for voters nationwide. They argue that Democrats successfully framed the election around cultural and class warfare, while Republicans need sharper messaging on kitchen-table economics.  The hour also dives into immigration and cultural shifts in urban politics, warning that rapid demographic changes and lack of assimilation are reshaping cities like New York. Clay and Buck compare today’s dynamics to early 20th-century socialist movements and call for a national conversation on immigration policy. Listeners weigh in with calls from Houston, Charleston, and Staten Island, sharing reactions and relocation plans to red states like Florida and Texas. The hosts note a surge in interest for real estate in these states following the election results. Gender voting patterns also come under scrutiny, with women identified as a decisive factor in Democratic wins. Finally, Clay and Buck reflect on Trump’s surprise endorsement of Andrew Cuomo, the future of the MAGA movement, and whether Mamdani’s tenure will disappoint progressive voters. They predict that despite campaign promises, New York City’s new mayor will likely triple down on redistribution and regulation, worsening economic challenges.

Hour 2 dives deeper into the fallout from the latest election results in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City, analyzing what the outcomes reveal about voter behavior and party strategies. Clay and Buck emphasize that while the night wasn’t catastrophic for Republicans, it exposed a critical weakness: Trump voters don’t turn out when Trump isn’t on the ballot. They cite data showing 600,000 fewer GOP voters in Virginia and New Jersey compared to 2024, underscoring the challenge for Republicans heading into the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential race. The hosts dissect Democratic messaging, noting how slogans like “No Kings” and anti-Trump rhetoric continue to energize the left, even in off-year elections. They argue that Democrats successfully frame elections as a referendum on Trump rather than policy, mobilizing their base with emotional appeals rather than substantive governance plans. Clay and Buck contrast this with Republican struggles to motivate turnout, stressing the need for a strategy that extends beyond Trump’s personal magnetism. A major focus of the hour is the Virginia Attorney General race, where Democrat Jay Jones won despite leaked texts revealing he wished death on political opponents’ children and vowed to desecrate their graves. The hosts express outrage that nearly half of voters dismissed these comments as non-disqualifying, calling the result a troubling sign of partisan loyalty overriding basic standards of decency. They warn that this reflects a broader cultural shift where Democrats prioritize party allegiance over character, even for top law enforcement positions. Clay and Buck also touch on healthcare costs and the broken insurance system, criticizing Obamacare and the Supreme Court decision that enabled taxing inactivity. They highlight skyrocketing premiums and lack of transparency as systemic failures, while briefly mentioning Trump’s ongoing legal battles over tariff authority. The hour closes with listener reactions, including calls from Texas and Florida, and a candid discussion about whether conservatives can continue living in deep-blue states after elections like these.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers in-depth analysis of the New York City mayoral election, national political trends, and a major Supreme Court case that could reshape trade policy. The hour kicks off with guest Ryan Girdusky, who breaks down the surprising demographic shifts in Zohran Mamdani’s landslide victory. While Mamdani dominated among Black and Hispanic voters, Andrew Cuomo unexpectedly won white and Asian voters—yet turnout surged so dramatically that Mamdani prevailed. Girdusky highlights how Curtis Sliwa failed to consolidate even a fraction of the Republican vote, underscoring the GOP’s urban weakness. The conversation pivots to Republican turnout problems, with Clay and Buck citing data showing 600,000 fewer Trump voters in Virginia and New Jersey compared to 2024, despite strong GOP candidates like Jack Ciattarelli. Democrats, fueled by anti-Trump sentiment and slogans like “No Kings”, are voting at near-presidential levels, while Republicans appear complacent. Girdusky warns that youth unemployment, inflation, and high food prices remain critical issues for the GOP to address before the 2026 midterms. He also stresses the need for ballot initiatives—such as making English the official language—to energize conservative turnout. The hour then examines California’s Proposition 50, which could give Democrats 4–5 new congressional seats through redistricting, offsetting GOP gains in Texas. Clay and Buck argue that Republicans must focus on swing districts Trump won by less than five points and invest heavily in mobilization strategies to maintain control of Congress.A major legal topic dominates the latter half: the Supreme Court review of Trump’s tariff authority. The hosts explain that Trump relied on a 1970s emergency statute to impose tariffs, citing crises like fentanyl and trade deficits. If the Court rules against him, it could invalidate hundreds of billions in tariff revenue and spark a constitutional showdown over separation of powers. Clay and Buck explore historical context, noting tariffs were America’s original revenue source before the income tax, and debate whether refunds would be required if the tariffs are struck down. The discussion expands into tax policy and government overreach, with fiery commentary on property taxes, Social Security’s sustainability, and the welfare state. Listeners call in with sharp takes, including a historical breakdown of tariffs and a controversial claim about women’s voting rights that sparks a lively close to the show. Clay and Buck end by emphasizing how hate-driven politics and envy-based messaging dominate Democratic strategy, while Republicans must counter with economic solutions and cultural engagement.

They spotlight Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s announcement that she’s running for governor of New York, positioning her as a strong Republican alternative to incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show wraps up the week with a fiery mix of political analysis, cultural commentary, and listener interaction. The central theme of the hour is the ongoing government shutdown, which the hosts firmly attribute to Democratic obstruction. They argue that Democrats are attempting to renegotiate previously agreed-upon funding terms, causing widespread disruption across federal services, especially in air travel and healthcare. Donald Trump’s response to the shutdown is highlighted, with the former president refusing to allocate trillions in taxpayer dollars to cover healthcare for illegal immigrants.

Buck emphasizes that while affordability remains a concern, the country is moving in a better direction thanks to Trump’s policies. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy joins the conversation, defending his department’s decisions amid flight cancellations and staffing shortages. He urges critics to focus on reopening the government rather than blaming the FAA for safety-driven decisions.

The discussion then pivots to cultural commentary, including a nostalgic look at Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, highlighting how its humor and themes would never pass today’s Hollywood standards. From there, the hosts analyze the New York City mayoral election, focusing on Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech, which starkly contrasts Ronald Reagan’s famous warning about government overreach. Mamdani’s pledge that “no problem is too large for government to solve” sparks debate about progressive governance and its impact on New York’s budget, especially given that 1% of residents pay 50% of city taxes. Buck predicts that Mamdani’s policies will accelerate financial strain and potentially drive out high earners. Nonsensical Women Katie Miller, host of the Katie Miller Podcast, joins Clay and Buck for a candid conversation about the New York City mayoral election, progressive politics, and cultural contradictions. Katie critiques Gen Z voters and liberal women for supporting candidates who oppose their stated ideals, such as women’s rights, while embracing policies like open borders that lead to rising crime. She warns that America is trending toward the UK’s failed immigration model and calls out the hypocrisy of progressive movements like “Trans Rights for Gaza.” The discussion shifts to gender politics and women’s sports, spotlighting a shocking story from the National Women’s Soccer League, where a player was vilified for saying women’s soccer should be for women. Katie argues that liberal white women are undermining women’s rights to virtue signal, while magazines like Glamour glorify biological men as women. The hosts also touch on cultural flashpoints, including Sidney Sweeney’s refusal to apologize for a controversial ad, and debate why society shames traditional femininity while celebrating woke narratives. Katie then addresses the broader cultural battle: encouraging young women to value motherhood and family as much as careers. She argues that Republicans fail to promote the importance of raising children and building strong marriages, noting that societal praise for workplace success overshadows the critical role of stay-at-home moms. Her message: being a mom is a “civilization-building” career that deserves equal respect. The conversation turns political with outrage over Virginia electing Jay Jones as Attorney General, despite his violent rhetoric wishing harm on political opponents. Katie calls this a dangerous sign of partisanship eclipsing basic decency, warning that Republicans face growing hostility in blue states. What Do YOU Think? Clay and Buck then pivot to breaking news on the government shutdown’s impact on air travel, sharing Clay’s email from Delta about flight reductions at 40 major airports and United’s preemptive cancellations. They urge listeners to prepare for holiday travel chaos as staffing shortages hit air traffic control.  Economic concerns dominate the latter half of the hour. A podcast listener challenges Trump to focus on fixing inflation rather than blaming Democrats. Clay and Buck explain why inflation is “embedded” and compare today’s struggles to the Reagan era post-Carter. They predict economic recovery by mid-2026 but stress that prices won’t return to 2019 levels.  The hosts also explore structural challenges for younger generations, including skyrocketing housing costs, student debt, and diminishing value of college degrees. They play remarks from Palantir CEO Alex Karp, who notes that skilled trades now outpace Ivy League degrees in economic value—a trend accelerated by AI and automation.

Hour 1 kicks off with a deep dive into the aftermath of the recent elections, highlighting Republican challenges in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City. Clay and Buck analyze what these results mean for the GOP moving forward and stress that Donald Trump remains President, with Republicans holding majorities in Congress. They discuss the booming economy alongside persistent inflation and affordability issues, noting how Biden-era price hikes continue to impact Americans. A major focus of this hour is the ongoing government shutdown and its ripple effects on air travel. The hosts break down Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s announcement of a 10% reduction in flight capacity across 40 major markets, citing outdated air traffic control systems and staffing shortages. They emphasize the critical role of air traffic controllers and warn of growing public frustration as travel disruptions mount. The conversation shifts to Trump’s push to end the Senate filibuster, with audio of Trump urging Republicans to eliminate it to advance “common sense” policies. Clay and Buck debate the long-term consequences, including potential Democratic moves like granting statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., or expanding the Supreme Court. They argue that while ending the filibuster could offer short-term wins, it risks permanent structural changes favoring Democrats. Election analysis continues with a look at turnout problems for Republicans in off-year races. The hosts note that 600,000 Trump voters failed to show up in Virginia and New Jersey, exploring why GOP enthusiasm dips outside presidential contests. Clay uses a sports analogy to explain how Trump mobilizes voters for “big games” like presidential elections, while Democrats maintain consistent turnout for every race. They also discuss cultural dynamics around Trump’s movement compared to past GOP candidates. Adding a lighter moment, the hour features a quirky listener love connection sparked by a viral comment about repealing the 19th Amendment. Allison from Los Angeles and V from Raleigh exchange messages, blending humor with political commentary on women’s voting rights and the filibuster.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into breaking news and sharp political analysis. The hour opens with updates on the FAA’s plan to cut air traffic by 10% at 40 major airports amid the ongoing government shutdown, with reports that the Trump administration may impose an additional 4% reduction in flights. Clay and Buck warn that these disruptions could peak during Thanksgiving travel, historically one of the busiest travel periods, and predict that mounting frustration among travelers may pressure Washington to resolve the shutdown quickly. The discussion then pivots to cultural commentary, including a nostalgic look at Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, highlighting how its humor and themes would never pass today’s Hollywood standards. From there, the hosts analyze the New York City mayoral election, focusing on Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech, which starkly contrasts Ronald Reagan’s famous warning about government overreach. Mamdani’s pledge that “no problem is too large for government to solve” sparks debate about progressive governance and its impact on New York’s budget, especially given that 1% of residents pay 50% of city taxes. Buck predicts that Mamdani’s policies will accelerate financial strain and potentially drive out high earners. The hour also examines Mamdani’s framing of his win as a battle against Donald Trump, with rhetoric about “terrifying a despot” and dismantling conditions that enabled Trump’s rise. Clay and Buck argue this narrative is fantasy and note the pattern of progressive mayors failing in major cities like Portland, San Francisco, and Chicago. They also spotlight Chuck Schumer’s evasiveness when asked about his vote and speculate on AOC’s future presidential ambitions, suggesting she represents the Democratic Party’s radical vanguard. Listeners join the conversation with calls and talkbacks, including sharp critiques of the GOP’s inability to deliver on promises compared to Trump’s record, and a viral thread on repealing the 19th Amendment that continues to stir debate. The hosts stress that these sentiments are listener-driven, not their own, while joking about potential headlines misrepresenting their stance. Political commentary intensifies with reactions to Sonny Hostin’s remarks on The View, where she advocates for Democrats to “go lower” in redistricting battles, signaling an aggressive strategy for future elections. Clay and Buck dissect the hypocrisy of Democrats condemning GOP tactics while embracing similar moves themselves. Bernie Sanders also weighs in, blaming Republicans for rising healthcare costs, which the hosts counter by pointing to Obamacare’s failures. Senator Ted Cruz calls the election results a “disaster,” labeling Mamdani a “full-on communist,” while Clay and Buck caution against overstating the significance of off-year losses, emphasizing Trump’s historic win in 2024 as the defining political moment. Hour 2 blends shutdown fallout, progressive policy critiques, election analysis, and cultural flashpoints, making it essential listening for anyone tracking conservative perspectives on current events and the future of American politics.

Katie critiques Gen Z voters and liberal women for supporting candidates who oppose their stated ideals, such as women’s rights, while embracing policies like open borders that lead to rising crime.

About Last Night Clay and Buck break down the major political headlines following a pivotal election night. The discussion opens with Zohran Mamdani’s historic win in New York City, where he captured just over 50% of the vote in one of the city’s highest-turnout elections in decades. The hosts analyze why Mamdani’s campaign resonated, citing his energy, entertainment factor, and ability to mobilize younger voters and recent arrivals to the city. They highlight demographic trends, including Mamdani’s overwhelming support among Black voters and strong backing from millennials, Hispanics, and Asians. The conversation then shifts to Democratic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, emphasizing the GOP’s turnout problem. Clay points out that 600,000 Trump voters stayed home in these states compared to the 2024 presidential election, raising alarms for 2026 and 2028. Buck underscores that while these were tough races in blue-leaning states, Republicans must address enthusiasm gaps when Trump isn’t on the ballot. From Nazi to King? Clay and Buck dive deeper into the fallout from the latest election results in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City, analyzing what the outcomes reveal about voter behavior and party strategies. They emphasize that while the night wasn’t catastrophic for Republicans, it exposed a critical weakness: Trump voters don’t turn out when Trump isn’t on the ballot. They cite data showing 600,000 fewer GOP voters in Virginia and New Jersey compared to 2024, underscoring the challenge for Republicans heading into the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential race. The hosts dissect Democratic messaging, noting how slogans like “No Kings” and anti-Trump rhetoric continue to energize the left, even in off-year elections. They argue that Democrats successfully frame elections as a referendum on Trump rather than policy, mobilizing their base with emotional appeals rather than substantive governance plans. Clay and Buck contrast this with Republican struggles to motivate turnout, stressing the need for a strategy that extends beyond Trump’s personal magnetism. Let That Sink In  The Virginia Attorney General race, where Democrat Jay Jones won despite leaked texts revealing he wished death on political opponents’ children and vowed to piss on their graves. The hosts express outrage that nearly half of voters dismissed these comments as non-disqualifying, calling the result a troubling sign of partisan loyalty overriding basic standards of decency. They warn that this reflects a broader cultural shift where Democrats prioritize party allegiance over character, even for top law enforcement positions.  Clay and Buck also touch on healthcare costs and the broken insurance system, criticizing Obamacare and the Supreme Court decision that enabled taxing inactivity. They highlight skyrocketing premiums and lack of transparency as systemic failures, while briefly mentioning Trump’s ongoing legal battles over tariff authority.   Professor Clay Nerds Out Examining California’s Proposition 50, which could give Democrats 4–5 new congressional seats through redistricting, offsetting GOP gains in Texas. Clay and Buck argue that Republicans must focus on swing districts Trump won by less than five points and invest heavily in mobilization strategies to maintain control of Congress.A major legal topic dominates the latter half: the Supreme Court review of Trump’s tariff authority. The hosts explain that Trump relied on a 1970s emergency statute to impose tariffs, citing crises like fentanyl and trade deficits. If the Court rules against him, it could invalidate hundreds of billions in tariff revenue and spark a constitutional showdown over separation of powers. Clay and Buck explore historical context, noting tariffs were America’s original revenue source before the income tax, and debate whether refunds would be required if the tariffs are struck down. The discussion expands into tax policy and government overreach, with fiery commentary on property taxes, Social Security’s sustainability, and the welfare state. Listeners call in with sharp takes, including a historical breakdown of tariffs and a controversial claim about women’s voting rights that sparks a lively close to the show. Clay and Buck end by emphasizing how hate-driven politics and envy-based messaging dominate Democratic strategy, while Republicans must counter with economic solutions and cultural engagement.

Buck underscores that while these were tough races in blue-leaning states, Republicans must address enthusiasm gaps when Trump isn’t on the ballot. Economic concerns dominate the analysis, with both hosts stressing that inflation, cost of living, and healthcare remain the top issues for voters nationwide. They argue that Democrats successfully framed the election around cultural and class warfare, while Republicans need sharper messaging on kitchen-table economics.  The hour also dives into immigration and cultural shifts in urban politics, warning that rapid demographic changes and lack of assimilation are reshaping cities like New York. Clay and Buck compare today’s dynamics to early 20th-century socialist movements and call for a national conversation on immigration policy. Listeners weigh in with calls from Houston, Charleston, and Staten Island, sharing reactions and relocation plans to red states like Florida and Texas. The hosts note a surge in interest for real estate in these states following the election results. Gender voting patterns also come under scrutiny, with women identified as a decisive factor in Democratic wins. Finally, Clay and Buck reflect on Trump’s surprise endorsement of Andrew Cuomo, the future of the MAGA movement, and whether Mamdani’s tenure will disappoint progressive voters. They predict that despite campaign promises, New York City’s new mayor will likely triple down on redistribution and regulation, worsening economic challenges.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers in-depth analysis of the New York City mayoral election, national political trends, and a major Supreme Court case that could reshape trade policy. The hour kicks off with guest Ryan Girdusky, who breaks down the surprising demographic shifts in Zohran Mamdani’s landslide victory. While Mamdani dominated among Black and Hispanic voters, Andrew Cuomo unexpectedly won white and Asian voters—yet turnout surged so dramatically that Mamdani prevailed. Girdusky highlights how Curtis Sliwa failed to consolidate even a fraction of the Republican vote, underscoring the GOP’s urban weakness. The conversation pivots to Republican turnout problems, with Clay and Buck citing data showing 600,000 fewer Trump voters in Virginia and New Jersey compared to 2024, despite strong GOP candidates like Jack Ciattarelli. Democrats, fueled by anti-Trump sentiment and slogans like “No Kings”, are voting at near-presidential levels, while Republicans appear complacent. Girdusky warns that youth unemployment, inflation, and high food prices remain critical issues for the GOP to address before the 2026 midterms. He also stresses the need for ballot initiatives—such as making English the official language—to energize conservative turnout. The hour then examines California’s Proposition 50, which could give Democrats 4–5 new congressional seats through redistricting, offsetting GOP gains in Texas. Clay and Buck argue that Republicans must focus on swing districts Trump won by less than five points and invest heavily in mobilization strategies to maintain control of Congress.A major legal topic dominates the latter half: the Supreme Court review of Trump’s tariff authority.

In this Bonus episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz:   Kennedy’s Humor and Persona (GRAB SEN KENNEDY'S NEW BOOK HERE!) Kennedy is a "Southern trial lawyer with a sharp wit", often underestimated due to his accent and folksy demeanor. He’s known for devastating cross-examinations of judicial nominees, both Democrat and Republican. His humor is often biting and irreverent, with jokes about colleagues like Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, and even Ted Cruz. 2. Behind-the-Scenes Senate Culture Kennedy compares the Senate to junior high school, full of cliques, egos, and petty drama. He shares stories of interactions with nominees who failed basic constitutional knowledge. The book aims to demystify the Senate and show how disconnected Washington can be from everyday Americans. 3. Critique of Washington Kennedy argues that Washington lacks common sense, and that change is only possible by removing entrenched interests (“pigs out of the creek”). He emphasizes the importance of storytelling in politics, using humor to make serious points. 4. Praise and Promotion Cruz and Ferguson praise Kennedy’s storytelling and comedic timing. The book is a very giftable item, especially for those with conservative leanings or frustrations with Washington.

It's Election Day! A high-energy Election Day edition packed with breaking political analysis and cultural commentary. Clay celebrates the release of his new book “Balls”, urging listeners to support conservative voices in publishing. The hour dives deep into the New York City mayoral race, spotlighting the shocking Donald Trump endorsement of Andrew Cuomo as a strategic move to block socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani. Clay and Buck debate whether this last-minute endorsement helps or hurts Cuomo, referencing insights from Stephen Miller and Van Jones, and warning that a split in the anti-Mamdani vote could hand victory to the far-left.

Gonna Be Gavin and The Empire Strikes Back The hosts revisit the stakes in New York City’s mayoral race, the Virginia and New Jersey governor contests, and California’s Proposition 50, warning that Democrats will frame any wins as a repudiation of Donald Trump’s presidency despite these being deep-blue strongholds.

Reasons for Optimism Analysis of Donald Trump's extended interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes, where he critiques Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, labeling him a “communist” rather than a “socialist.” Trump’s remarks spark a broader conversation about the potential national impact of a Mamdani victory, especially as Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani become symbolic faces of the party. Clay and Buck argue that such a win could damage Democratic messaging ahead of the 2026 midterms. Mr. NY, Mark Simone The hosts explore voter turnout trends in New York City, noting historic early voting numbers and the unpredictable nature of first-time voters supporting Mamdani. They also highlight the risk of vote-splitting between Curtis Sliwa and Andrew Cuomo, which could hand Mamdani the win. Guest Mark Simone, WOR host, joins to provide insider insights into both the NYC mayoral race and the New Jersey governor’s race, where Republican Jack Ciattarelli is in a tight contest against Democrat Mikie Sherrill. Simone suggests internal Democratic panic, evidenced by Barack Obama being deployed to campaign in New Jersey, signals Ciattarelli’s momentum.  In Virginia, the attorney general and lieutenant governor races are spotlighted as key battlegrounds, with the hosts urging strong Republican turnout in deep-red regions to counterbalance Northern Virginia’s Democratic stronghold. The conversation shifts to urban safety and crime, with Trump claiming credit for improved conditions in Washington, D.C., following his deployment of the National Guard. The hosts discuss the broader implications of crime reduction in cities like Memphis and the political risks for Democrats if Trump’s policies prove effective. Viral footage of a Chicago carjacking during Halloween is used to illustrate the ongoing crisis of urban violence. What's Happening to the Culture? With record-breaking voter turnout expected, the hosts emphasize the urgency of civic participation and preview the potential impact of key races, particularly the New York City mayoral contest featuring Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and Curtis Sliwa. The hour opens with reflections on voter motivation and turnout, drawing parallels to past elections where outsider candidates like Donald Trump and Barack Obama mobilized previously disengaged voters. Clay and Buck highlight polling data suggesting Mamdani may win due to vote-splitting between Cuomo and Sliwa, raising concerns about a far-left candidate potentially leading America’s largest city. Cultural decay and low-trust societal behavior are central themes, illustrated by viral videos of Halloween “porch piracy,” where teens and even parents are caught on camera stealing entire bowls of candy. The hosts argue this behavior reflects a broader erosion of values, linking it to absent father figures and the inability to delay gratification—traits associated with long-term success. Clay connects this to his new book, Balls, which explores masculinity, responsibility, and the cultural challenges facing young men in America.   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 and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful blend of political analysis, cultural commentary, and audience engagement on the eve of pivotal elections in New York City, New Jersey, and Virginia. With record-breaking voter turnout expected, the hosts emphasize the urgency of civic participation and preview the potential impact of key races, particularly the New York City mayoral contest featuring Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and Curtis Sliwa.

They discuss a viral video of a woman banned from Gold’s Gym for objecting to a biological male in the women’s locker room, and a New York Post op-ed by a female soccer player advocating for sex-based sports divisions. The backlash from her teammates, who labeled her “racist” and “transphobic,” sparks a broader conversation about the Democratic Party’s stance on gender identity and its implications for women’s rights and safety. Buck and Clay propose a provocative challenge: offering $100,000 to any biologically male soccer player who identifies as female and successfully joins a National Women’s Soccer League team. They argue this would expose the absurdity of current gender policies in sports and highlight the biological realities that are being ignored in favor of ideological conformity.

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the final stretch of the 2025 off-year election cycle, with a sharp focus on the high-stakes New York City mayoral race. The hosts analyze the political landscape across key battlegrounds including Virginia and New Jersey, but the spotlight remains on NYC, where Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani is leading a controversial campaign. Curtis Sliwa, the Republican contender, is scheduled to join the show in Hour 2 to make his case, while former Governor Andrew Cuomo emerges as a wildcard third-party candidate. The discussion centers on Mamdani’s radical left-wing ideology, past statements, and perceived dishonesty, particularly regarding claims of Islamophobia post-9/11. Clay and Buck scrutinize Mamdani’s past remarks on policing, prisons, and his alignment with anti-Israel rhetoric, drawing connections to broader progressive movements like Occupy Wall Street and BLM. They argue that Mamdani’s narrative is rooted in victimhood politics and toxic identity-based grievance culture, which they believe is emblematic of the far-left wing of the Democratic Party. Andrew Cuomo’s recent media appearance is dissected, where he warns that the radical left could destroy the Democratic Party. Despite Cuomo’s criticisms, the hosts express skepticism about his political competence and campaign strategy, noting his reliance on legacy media while Mamdani leverages modern platforms like TikTok to reach younger voters. The hour also touches on Kamala Harris’s political future, the fallout from Karine Jean-Pierre’s book tour, and the broader implications of leftist ideology on American politics. The hosts emphasize the importance of voter turnout in NYC, predicting a historic surge reminiscent of Rudy Giuliani’s 1993 victory, while expressing concern that Mamdani could win with a plurality despite opposition from both Cuomo and Sliwa.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a high-energy, politically charged interview with Republican NYC mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, just six days ahead of the pivotal New York City election. This segment centers on Sliwa’s refusal to drop out of the race despite concerns that vote-splitting between him and Andrew Cuomo could hand victory to Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani. Sliwa passionately defends his candidacy, invoking populist themes, his Guardian Angels legacy, and a commitment to fighting crime and corruption in NYC. The hour features Sliwa’s fiery rhetoric against both Cuomo and Mamdani, whom he labels as equally destructive to New York. He blames Cuomo for enabling Mamdani’s rise and criticizes Cuomo’s past policies, including no-cash bail, prison closures, and mismanagement of juvenile crime. Sliwa also reveals he was offered $10 million to drop out of the race—an allegation he calls unethical and potentially criminal. He emphasizes his grassroots campaign, his new “Protect Animals” ballot line, and his belief in democratic choice over billionaire influence. Clay and Buck analyze Sliwa’s strategy and motivations, concluding that Sliwa sees no meaningful difference between Cuomo and Mamdani, which justifies his continued presence in the race. They debate whether Mamdani’s potential victory would be a disaster for NYC or a wake-up call for the rest of the country about the dangers of far-left governance. The hosts explore how Mamdani’s radical positions—such as taxing white neighborhoods more, defunding police, and supporting socialist policies—could impact national politics and the Democratic Party’s future. The conversation expands to compare Mamdani’s ideology with other prominent Democrats like Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden, arguing that while mainstream Democrats often mask their progressive agendas, Mamdani openly embraces extreme left-wing positions. The hosts suggest that Mamdani’s election could serve as a cautionary tale for voters nationwide and potentially fuel a conservative resurgence. Listeners from across the country weigh in, with some supporting Clay’s concerns about vote-splitting and others expressing fatigue over NYC-centric coverage. The hosts defend the focus, citing the national significance of the NYC mayoral race and its implications for the broader political landscape.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show features a wide-ranging and dynamic conversation that blends national politics, Florida’s gubernatorial race, cultural commentary, and listener interaction. The hour kicks off with a high-profile interview with Florida Congressman Byron Donalds, who is actively campaigning to become Florida’s next governor. Donalds discusses his platform, including support for eliminating property taxes on homesteaded properties, maintaining funding for essential services, and continuing the legacy of Governor Ron DeSantis. He emphasizes Florida’s low-tax, law-and-order appeal and warns New Yorkers considering relocation to Florida to respect the values that make the Sunshine State successful. Donalds also weighs in on the national implications of Zohran Mamdani potentially becoming New York City’s mayor, calling him a dangerous Marxist whose policies would be disastrous for NYC and the Democratic Party. He predicts Mamdani would become a national face of the progressive left, alongside figures like AOC and Bernie Sanders, and urges other states to follow Florida’s lead in sound governance. The conversation shifts to college football, with playful banter about Florida State’s recent struggles and speculation on coaching changes at the University of Florida. Donalds diplomatically avoids trash talk, showing his political polish, while Clay and Buck dive into sports picks and betting insights. The hosts then pivot to cultural and political commentary, highlighting Katie Miller’s viral CNN moment where she criticized DEI hiring practices and Karine Jean-Pierre’s book tour. They argue that identity politics have overtaken meritocracy in the Democratic Party, comparing modern progressive rhetoric to medieval royalty declarations. Clay and Buck dissect the evolution of the Democratic Party platform from 2012 to 2024, noting a dramatic shift away from traditional values like fatherhood and responsibility toward an overwhelming focus on LGBTQ+ rights and land acknowledgments. Kamala Harris’s political future is also discussed, with skepticism about her viability in 2028 following a controversial book release and perceived lack of political momentum. The hour closes with listener talkbacks on topics ranging from gas station economics and pronunciation debates to humorous critiques of Clay’s foxhole loyalty and Buck’s French language skills.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton explain why Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s plans are flawed and will hurt New York City residents.

In this BONUS episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Cruz & Ben Ferguson discuss:    Allegations of Government Surveillance ("Arctic Frost") Senator Cruz claims the Biden administration, via Special Counsel Jack Smith and Judge James Boasberg, conducted surveillance on nine Republican Senators (20% of the GOP in the Senate). The operation allegedly involved 197 subpoenas targeting over 430 Republican individuals and entities, including Turning Point USA and the Republican Attorneys General Association. Cruz asserts that his own phone records were subpoenaed, but AT&T refused to comply, citing constitutional protections. He compares the operation to Watergate, calling it “Joe Biden’s Watergate,” and accuses Judge Boasberg of partisan abuse of power, calling for his impeachment. 2. Government Shutdown The podcast talks about the ongoing government shutdown as the “Schumer shutdown”, blaming Democrats for refusing to fund essential services. Cruz and Ferguson argue that Democrats are intentionally prolonging the shutdown to hurt Americans and blame Republicans, especially Donald Trump. They claim Democrats are withholding food stamps, military pay, and other services to create public pressure. Cruz emphasizes that Republicans have voted multiple times to reopen the government, but Democrats have blocked it. 3. Bill Gates’ Shift on Climate Change The hosts discuss a reported shift in Bill Gates’ stance on climate change, quoting him as saying the “doomsday view of climate change is wrong.” Gates allegedly suggests that while climate change is serious, it is not the most pressing global issue compared to poverty and disease. Cruz uses this to criticize climate alarmism and the policies of the Democratic Party, arguing that radical climate policies have harmed the environment and economy.

Buck's Gentle Nudge Buck Sexton encourages voter turnout ahead of the upcoming off-year elections, spotlighting key races in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City. He emphasizes the importance of civic engagement and early voting, particularly in tight contests like the New Jersey gubernatorial race and the NYC mayoral and city council elections.  A major focus of the hour is the ongoing government shutdown, which Buck attributes to Democratic leadership, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. He critiques their handling of negotiations and highlights the impact on federal workers, especially air traffic controllers and TSA agents, citing safety concerns and economic stress.  Buck argues that Republicans are pushing for a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government, while Democrats are obstructing progress for political leverage.  Healthcare policy also comes under scrutiny, with Buck condemning the legacy of Obamacare and current Democratic efforts to expand subsidies and entitlements. He frames these moves as part of a broader welfare state agenda that burdens taxpayers and prioritizes illegal immigrants, particularly in sanctuary cities like New York. Why Elections Matter Guest Karol Markowicz joins to offer insights on NYC politics and cultural shifts, especially from the perspective of Russian Jewish communities in Brooklyn. She discusses the ideological divide between conservative immigrant populations and progressive enclaves like Park Slope and the Upper West Side. The conversation touches on Jewish voter trends, noting a significant shift away from Democratic candidates in recent elections. Kamala, Are You Serious? Clay’s travel nightmare amid widespread airport chaos caused by the ongoing government shutdown, highlighting how air traffic controller shortages and TSA delays are creating nationwide disruptions. This segues into a sharp critique of Democratic leadership, with Buck questioning whether mounting pressure from unions and airline executives will force Democrats to end the standoff. The conversation then shifts to Kamala Harris’s controversial book tour and her attempts to defend the Biden administration’s handling of President Biden’s cognitive decline. Buck dismantles Harris’s argument that Biden was fit to govern but not to campaign, calling it “absurd” and pointing out the administration’s deception about Biden’s mental state. Harris’s excuses for her crushing 2024 election loss to Donald Trump—including claims of “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and the “Elon Musk factor”—are dissected in detail. Buck argues that Harris’s failure reflects a broader rejection of identity politics and DEI-driven promotions, emphasizing that voters now demand competence over optics. Do You Believe? Buck welcomes Miranda Devine, host of Pod Force One, for an in-depth discussion on her recent interview with Vice President JD Vance. Topics include the administration’s stance on Russia-Ukraine peace prospects, the fallout from Zelensky’s Oval Office clash with Trump, and growing speculation about U.S. military operations in Venezuela—raising questions about whether these strikes target drug cartels or signal regime change. Miranda also shares JD Vance’s candid thoughts on UFOs and spiritual forces, his Catholic faith, and personal anecdotes about President Trump’s work ethic and family-friendly demeanor, offering listeners a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the White House.

In Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts dive deep into the final stretch of the New York City mayoral race, emphasizing the high-stakes showdown between Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani. With Election Day looming, Buck expresses skepticism about a Sliwa upset, citing historical polling data and expert analysis that suggests Mamdani’s lead is likely insurmountable. The conversation critiques Mamdani’s far-left platform, including proposals for government-run grocery stores and state control of private buildings, labeling him a “self-proclaimed socialist” and even a “communist.” The hosts also explore the Florida real estate boom, noting migration trends from New York to South Florida, especially among affluent Northeasterners. This segment ties into broader themes of urban decline, quality of life, and economic mobility, contrasting Mamdani’s optimistic view of NYC’s future with the reality of ongoing outmigration.Political commentary intensifies with criticism of Democratic leadership, particularly Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-era governance, which Buck calls “the worst in America.” The show also features a fiery rebuttal to Senator Alyssa Slotkin’s claims that Donald Trump is embracing authoritarianism.

The conversation explores whether far-left candidates have a ceiling in urban politics and what that means for future progressive ambitions. In New Jersey, Jack Ciattarelli faces an uphill battle against Democrat Mikie Sherrill, with mail-in ballots favoring Democrats and thousands of unreturned Republican ballots looming large.

The hour centers on President Donald Trump’s Asia trip, highlighting his high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The hour then pivots to the ongoing government shutdown, now in its 29th day.

They expose the political calculus behind Democrats’ refusal to compromise before the election and share listener insights on furloughed federal workers receiving full back pay—even if they don’t work during the shutdown. The hosts argue this dynamic fuels public anger and could backfire on Democrats as CNN polling shows voters increasingly blaming them. Additional segments touch on cultural and political trends, including collapsing public concern over climate change, Gavin Newsom’s latest controversies, and JD Vance’s comments on UFOs.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a mix of hard-hitting political analysis, cultural commentary, and lighter moments as Halloween approaches. The hour opens with updates on the government shutdown, highlighting CNN’s own polling that shows Democrats bearing the brunt of voter blame while Republicans see a boost in approval ratings. Clay and Buck argue this dynamic will force Democrats to seek an off-ramp after next week’s elections. The conversation then pivots to Gavin Newsom’s credibility crisis, exposing his contradictory statements about Charlie Kirk and his son’s alleged fandom. The hosts play clips showing Newsom first praising Kirk to appear bipartisan, then denying it later—underscoring what they call his pattern of dishonesty and opportunism ahead of a likely Newsom vs. Kamala Harris showdown for the Democratic nomination. Buck and Clay dissect Newsom’s recent claim that Joe Biden was “one of the most successful presidents of the last century”, framing it as a strategic move to court Biden loyalists while positioning himself as the heir apparent. Next, the show spotlights Kamala Harris’s rocky book tour in Australia, where ABC journalist Sarah Ferguson grills her on Biden’s frailties and debate performance. The hosts critique Harris’s evasive answers and reliance on scripted talking points, predicting these vulnerabilities will haunt her in a primary battle against Newsom. Sports and culture collide when Clay and Buck blast ESPN analyst Ryan Clark for politicizing LSU football coverage with attacks on Louisiana’s governor over a proposed Charlie Kirk statue. They argue this reflects the growing politicization of sports media and its disconnect from mainstream America.

Buck's Beloved NYC Clay and Buck scrutinize Mamdani’s past remarks on policing, prisons, and his alignment with anti-Israel rhetoric, drawing connections to broader progressive movements like Occupy Wall Street and BLM. They argue that Mamdani’s narrative is rooted in victimhood politics and toxic identity-based grievance culture, which they believe is emblematic of the far-left wing of the Democratic Party. Andrew Cuomo’s recent media appearance is dissected, where he warns that the radical left could destroy the Democratic Party. Despite Cuomo’s criticisms, the hosts express skepticism about his political competence and campaign strategy, noting his reliance on legacy media while Mamdani leverages modern platforms like TikTok to reach younger voters. Curtis Sliwa's Message Ahigh-energy, politically charged interview with Republican NYC mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, just six days ahead of the pivotal New York City election. This segment centers on Sliwa’s refusal to drop out of the race despite concerns that vote-splitting between him and Andrew Cuomo could hand victory to Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani. Sliwa passionately defends his candidacy, invoking populist themes, his Guardian Angels legacy, and a commitment to fighting crime and corruption in NYC. The hour features Sliwa’s fiery rhetoric against both Cuomo and Mamdani, whom he labels as equally destructive to New York. He blames Cuomo for enabling Mamdani’s rise and criticizes Cuomo’s past policies, including no-cash bail, prison closures, and mismanagement of juvenile crime. Sliwa also reveals he was offered $10 million to drop out of the race—an allegation he calls unethical and potentially criminal. He emphasizes his grassroots campaign, his new “Protect Animals” ballot line, and his belief in democratic choice over billionaire influence. FL Rep. Byron Donalds Ahigh-profile interview with Florida Congressman Byron Donalds, who is actively campaigning to become Florida’s next governor. Donalds discusses his platform, including support for eliminating property taxes on homesteaded properties, maintaining funding for essential services, and continuing the legacy of Governor Ron DeSantis. He emphasizes Florida’s low-tax, law-and-order appeal and warns New Yorkers considering relocation to Florida to respect the values that make the Sunshine State successful. Donalds also weighs in on the national implications of Zohran Mamdani potentially becoming New York City’s mayor, calling him a dangerous Marxist whose policies would be disastrous for NYC and the Democratic Party. He predicts Mamdani would become a national face of the progressive left, alongside figures like AOC and Bernie Sanders, and urges other states to follow Florida’s lead in sound governance.  The conversation shifts to college football, with playful banter about Florida State’s recent struggles and speculation on coaching changes at the University of Florida. Donalds diplomatically avoids trash talk, showing his political polish, while Clay and Buck dive into sports picks and betting insights. Climate Change Flip Katie Miller’s viral CNN moment where she criticized DEI hiring practices and Karine Jean-Pierre’s book tour. They argue that identity politics have overtaken meritocracy in the Democratic Party, comparing modern progressive rhetoric to medieval royalty declarations. Clay and Buck dissect the evolution of the Democratic Party platform from 2012 to 2024, noting a dramatic shift away from traditional values like fatherhood and responsibility toward an overwhelming focus on LGBTQ+ rights and land acknowledgments.

The hosts analyze the political landscape across key battlegrounds including Virginia and New Jersey, but the spotlight remains on NYC, where Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani is leading a controversial campaign.

Clay and Buck scrutinize Mamdani’s past remarks on policing, prisons, and his alignment with anti-Israel rhetoric, drawing connections to broader progressive movements like Occupy Wall Street and BLM. They argue that Mamdani’s narrative is rooted in victimhood politics and toxic identity-based grievance culture, which they believe is emblematic of the far-left wing of the Democratic Party.

Despite Cuomo’s criticisms, the hosts express skepticism about his political competence and campaign strategy, noting his reliance on legacy media while Mamdani leverages modern platforms like TikTok to reach younger voters.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a high-energy, politically charged interview with Republican NYC mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, just six days ahead of the pivotal New York City election.

Sliwa also reveals he was offered $10 million to drop out of the race—an allegation he calls unethical and potentially criminal. He emphasizes his grassroots campaign, his new “Protect Animals” ballot line, and his belief in democratic choice over billionaire influence. Clay and Buck analyze Sliwa’s strategy and motivations, concluding that Sliwa sees no meaningful difference between Cuomo and Mamdani, which justifies his continued presence in the race. They debate whether Mamdani’s potential victory would be a disaster for NYC or a wake-up call for the rest of the country about the dangers of far-left governance. The hosts explore how Mamdani’s radical positions—such as taxing white neighborhoods more, defunding police, and supporting socialist policies—could impact national politics and the Democratic Party’s future. The conversation expands to compare Mamdani’s ideology with other prominent Democrats like Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden, arguing that while mainstream Democrats often mask their progressive agendas, Mamdani openly embraces extreme left-wing positions. The hosts suggest that Mamdani’s election could serve as a cautionary tale for voters nationwide and potentially fuel a conservative resurgence. Listeners from across the country weigh in, with some supporting Clay’s concerns about vote-splitting and others expressing fatigue over NYC-centric coverage. The hosts defend the focus, citing the national significance of the NYC mayoral race and its implications for the broader political landscape.

The conversation expands to critique the broader Democratic leadership, including figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Gavin Newsom, warning that the “New York City liberal” and “California liberal” brands are becoming toxic in middle America.

The hosts warn that Mamdani’s progressive platform—featuring ideas like government-run grocery stores and fare-free buses—reflects a dangerous trend toward socialist policies that could devastate city infrastructure and small businesses. Beyond politics, the hour touches on national security and the war on drugs, reporting on U.S. military strikes against fentanyl-laden cartel boats in the Pacific. Clay and Buck frame this as a major escalation in America’s fight against drug trafficking. They also break down the ongoing government shutdown, explaining how Senate Democrats have blocked multiple GOP bills to reopen the government, potentially leveraging the crisis to boost turnout in key gubernatorial races. The hosts highlight looming consequences, including funding lapses for SNAP benefits and the broader debate over food stamps, obesity, and fraud in welfare programs.

In Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay and Buck deliver a fiery breakdown of the political and cultural chaos unfolding across America, with a sharp focus on New York politics, identity politics, and historical revisionism. The hour opens with commentary on Governor Kathy Hochul’s awkward attempt to downplay chants of “Tax the Rich” at a progressive rally, which Clay and Buck frame as emblematic of the Democratic Party’s shift from race-based to class-based neo-Marxist rhetoric. The hosts then turn their attention to Zohran Mamdani, the leading candidate for New York City mayor, and dissect his radical platform and controversial family background. They highlight statements made by Mamdani’s father, a Columbia University professor, who accused the United States of inspiring Nazi genocide through its treatment of Native Americans. Clay and Buck push back hard, offering a detailed historical rebuttal that includes references to colonial history, tribal warfare, and global conquest, arguing that the left’s narrative is rooted in anti-American sentiment and historical ignorance.

Clay and Buck also analyze Joe Biden’s recent speech, where he claimed the country is in its worst state in 50 years. They counter this narrative by citing record stock market highs, low unemployment, and Trump’s successful foreign diplomacy, including trade talks with China. The hosts argue that Biden’s legacy is defined by inflation, cognitive decline, and failed leadership, drawing parallels to the Jimmy Carter era. A major segment is devoted to the fallout from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report, which questioned Biden’s mental fitness. The hosts criticize White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for her dismissive response and highlight the media’s shifting tone as journalists begin to confront the administration’s failures. The hour wraps with listener talkbacks, including shoutouts to Texas, Florida, and Tennessee as top red-state destinations with no state income tax.

The conversation shifts to fentanyl trafficking, with praise for the Trump administration’s aggressive military response to drug boats in international waters. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defends the policy, arguing that lethal force is justified against cartels poisoning Americans with counterfeit pills. Clay and Buck applaud the administration’s elite communicators, including Rubio and JD Vance, for articulating complex issues with clarity. The hour also features an in-depth interview with Riley Gaines, who discusses her recent clash with AOC over women’s sports. Gaines shares her experience as a new mom, pushing back against cultural narratives that discourage young women from motherhood. She also responds to AOC’s dismissive comments about her athletic achievements, defending her fifth-place NCAA ranking and criticizing the left’s hypocrisy on women’s sports and fairness. The segment ends with lighthearted banter about Clay’s upcoming Alcatraz swim challenge, Buck’s quest to hit a 100 mph tennis serve, and listener feedback from Michigan and Georgia. Riley humorously bets that Buck’s serve is more likely than Clay completing the swim, while Clay jokes about shark fears and training laps.

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into the hottest political stories shaping the week ahead, with a sharp focus on the New York City mayoral race and its national implications. Clay and Buck kick off the hour discussing the upcoming elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City, emphasizing how NYC’s deep-blue politics could serve as a cautionary tale for Democrats nationwide. They preview Wednesday’s interview with Curtis Sliwa, who will make his case against progressive frontrunner Mamdani, a candidate backed by AOC and Bernie Sanders. The hosts debate whether Mamdani’s far-left agenda—highlighted by proposals like free public buses and aggressive “tax the rich” policies—could devastate New York City’s economy and quality of life. The conversation expands to early voting trends, with record turnout reported in NYC and strong betting market odds favoring Mamdani. Clay predicts a decisive loss for Sliwa, even joking about wearing a red beret for a week if proven wrong. Callers from New York weigh in, sharing firsthand accounts of high voter enthusiasm for Sliwa and skepticism about polling accuracy. Beyond the mayoral race, Buck and Clay analyze Democratic messaging failures, referencing Mamdani’s controversial 9/11 remarks and the broader shift toward class-based populism over identity politics. They warn that policies like fare-free transit could turn buses into “mobile homeless shelters,” reducing safety and cleanliness. The hour also touches on national economic stakes, including a potential U.S.–China trade deal under President Trump, and the ongoing debate over East Wing renovations at the White House, framing these developments as pivotal for the 2025 political landscape.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show zeroes in on the escalating political drama in New York City’s mayoral race, featuring progressive candidate Mamdani and his radical proposals. Clay and Buck dissect the recent rally headlined by AOC, who passionately declared, “We are not the crazy ones,” as she defended far-left policies like rent freezes. The hosts explain why freezing rent is economically destructive, citing basic supply-and-demand principles and drawing parallels to Venezuela’s collapse under price controls. They argue that these socialist-style policies will worsen housing shortages and degrade property quality in NYC.   The conversation pivots to a revealing Democratic Party study, reported by Semaphore, showing that left-wing rhetoric has severely damaged the party’s brand. Clay and Buck highlight key findings: 70% of voters believe Democrats are out of touch, prioritizing issues like climate change and LGBTQ+ rights over crime reduction and border security. They note dramatic increases in progressive language—mentions of “environmental justice” up 333% and LGBTQ+ rights up over 1,000%—while traditional values like fatherhood and responsibility have plummeted in party messaging.   From politics to culture, the hosts tackle the erasure of strong father figures in modern media, contrasting today’s portrayals with iconic dads from the ’80s and ’90s like those in The Cosby Show and Family Matters. They argue that while real-life dads are more involved than ever, pop culture increasingly depicts men as absent or incompetent, fueling societal imbalance.   The hour also dives into Democratic leadership speculation. Clay and Buck analyze Kamala Harris’s BBC interview, where she hinted at a 2028 presidential run despite dismal betting odds—ranking behind celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. They review current odds showing Gavin Newsom as the frontrunner, followed by AOC, Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Wes Moore. This sparks a humorous sidebar on AOC’s engagement to Riley Roberts, long engagements, and even prenup debates, with Buck sharing insights from a viral divorce attorney who argues everyone should consider prenups.   Hour 2 closes with a preview of Gavin Newsom’s controversial claims about growing up poor, which Clay and Buck promise to unpack in Hour 3, and a lighthearted call from Mobile, Alabama about sports agent Jimmy Sexton.

In Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts deliver a dynamic and wide-ranging discussion centered on politics, media narratives, and cultural authenticity, with a strong emphasis on California Governor Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump. The hour opens with a sharp critique of Gavin Newsom, whom Clay and Buck describe as the “de facto leader of the Democrat Party.” They dissect Newsom’s attempt to portray himself as a self-made man, highlighting his privileged upbringing, financial backing from billionaire Gordon Getty, and his efforts to rebrand ahead of a likely 2028 presidential run. The hosts mock Newsom’s “rags-to-riches” narrative, including his claims of hardship involving mac and cheese dinners and basketball practice, calling it political posturing designed to appeal to working-class voters. A major theme is Newsom’s strategic “code-switching” and rhetorical shifts depending on audience demographics. The hosts analyze his appearance on the “All the Smoke” podcast, where he frames anti-woke criticism as “anti-Black,” and question whether this messaging will resonate with Black voters in key Democratic primary states. They note California’s relatively small Black population (6%) and compare Newsom’s approach to Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton’s past attempts to connect with Southern voters through accent changes and cultural signaling. The conversation then pivots to President Donald Trump’s controversial yet widely praised initiative to build a new White House ballroom. Clay and Buck defend the project as a long-overdue improvement to the White House’s hosting capabilities, emphasizing its practicality, elegance, and bipartisan utility. They cite support from former Obama and Biden staffers and editorial approval from the Washington Post, framing the ballroom as a legacy gift to future administrations. The hosts ridicule opposition from Democrats like Rep. Eric Swalwell, attributing the backlash to “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” In a lighter segment, the show features listener emails and humorous banter, including a debate over Chick-fil-A biscuits, showering with dogs, and nudity in locker rooms. The hosts also joke about Gavin Newsom adopting a Southern accent on the campaign trail, comparing it to infamous Hollywood portrayals like Keanu Reeves in Devil’s Advocate and Nicolas Cage in Con Air. The hour concludes with commentary on White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s book tour. Her refusal to acknowledge any regrets while serving under President Biden is met with skepticism, and the hosts suggest her identity politics deflection is emblematic of the administration’s broader communication failures.   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.

The No Kings protesters are clueless losers who have no idea they’re the ones advocating autocratic rule. President Trump is the furthest thing from a King, a fascist or a threat to democracy. The leftwing lunatics just want to be a part of something and most are seniors re-living their glory days of the 60's.

Clay and Buck speculate on the donor’s identity and criticize Democrats for prolonging the shutdown, emphasizing its impact on everyday Americans living paycheck to paycheck.

Broadcasting live from Fort Wayne, Indiana, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of affiliate station WOWO, Clay and Buck dive into the most pressing stories shaping America’s political landscape. With President Donald Trump currently in office, the hosts analyze the chaotic state of the New York City mayoral race, spotlighting Curtis Sliwa’s refusal to drop out despite pressure from political elites and billionaires. They explore the implications of Sliwa’s candidacy on Andrew Cuomo’s chances and the rise of progressive candidate “Mom Donny,” whom they label a “communist.” Trump’s own commentary on the race is featured, emphasizing the national stakes and the potential fallout for the Democratic Party. The show also covers Virginia’s gubernatorial race, focusing on Democrat Abigail Spanberger’s controversial stance on transgender issues in schools, particularly the debate over biological males participating in girls’ sports. Clay and Buck criticize her evasive responses and highlight the broader cultural battle over gender identity, school safety, and parental rights. They argue that Democrats are doubling down on radical policies, risking backlash from suburban voters. Listeners are introduced to Sam Ponder, a former ESPN host and mother, who shares her firsthand experience with gender politics in youth sports, sparking a passionate discussion on fairness, biology, and the consequences of “toxic empathy.” The hosts frame this as a defining issue for the 2026 midterms and beyond. In addition, the hour touches on a Maine Senate primary scandal, where a Democratic candidate faces backlash over a Nazi tattoo, raising questions about vetting and accountability within the party.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the evolving political landscape as President Donald Trump continues to shape the future of the Republican Party. The hosts analyze key gubernatorial races in New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey, emphasizing their strategic importance ahead of the midterm elections. With Democrats threatening to obstruct Trump’s agenda if they gain control of the House, the conversation highlights the stakes for conservative voters and the broader MAGA movement. A major focus of this hour is the rise of Vice President JD Vance, portrayed as a disciplined, intelligent, and family-oriented conservative leader. Vance’s background—from a troubled upbringing to Yale Law School and the Marine Corps—is framed as the embodiment of the American Dream, making him a compelling successor to Trump. The hosts defend Vance against media attacks, including criticisms from Jen Psaki and others who question his charisma (“Riz”) and unfairly target his wife, Usha Vance. They argue that Vance’s biracial family and values resonate with everyday Americans, especially parents concerned about cultural shifts revealed during COVID-era remote learning. The show also explores Ron DeSantis’s political trajectory, praising his leadership in Florida while noting how media narratives shifted once he was seen as a potential rival to Trump. The hosts discuss the ideological realignment within both parties, noting how many 1990s Democrats would now be considered Republicans due to the left’s embrace of identity politics and progressive agendas. Speculation intensifies around the 2028 presidential race, with predictions that Trump will act as kingmaker, potentially backing Vice President JD Vance with Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a running mate. On the Democratic side, Kamala Harris’s viability is questioned, with Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez floated as likely contenders. The hosts critique Harris’s campaign spending—allegedly $1.5 billion over 107 days—and her attempt to distance herself from Biden’s perceived failures. Additional commentary includes criticism of Andrew Cuomo’s refusal to appear on the show, theories about Biden’s DOJ targeting political opponents like Eric Adams, and reflections on regional differences in mask-wearing and travel friendliness. The hour concludes with endorsements for Winsome Sears and Jason Miyares in Virginia, and a call for voters to stay engaged as the midterms approach.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a politically charged and culturally provocative segment, recorded live from Fort Wayne, Indiana, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of their affiliate station. This hour dives deep into the 2026 election cycle, with a sharp focus on battleground states like Texas and Maine, and features commentary on controversial Democratic candidates, identity politics, and the evolving media landscape—all under the leadership of current President Donald Trump. The show opens with analysis of upcoming elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City, setting the stage for broader discussions about the 2026 primaries. Maine’s Senate race takes center stage as hosts dissect the candidacy of Democrat Graham Plattner, a far-left former Marine embroiled in scandal over a Nazi SS tattoo. His opponent, Governor Janet Mills, is also scrutinized for her past clash with President Trump over transgender athletes in girls’ sports. The hosts question whether Nazi affiliations are politically disqualifying for Democrats, sparking debate on the left’s shifting ideological boundaries. Clay and Buck expand the conversation to critique the collapse of the Obama-era identity politics coalition, highlighting President Trump’s unexpected gains among Hispanic voters in 2024. They argue that Democrats’ demographic strategies have backfired, and that overuse of terms like “fascist” and “Nazi” has desensitized the public. Antifa is called out for embodying fascist traits, and the left is accused of lacking irony and accountability. Texas enters the spotlight with speculation around Jasmine Crockett’s potential Senate run. The hosts predict she could win the Democratic nomination but lose the general election, citing her rise to fame through provocative statements. This segues into a broader media strategy discussion, where Clay and Buck advise aspiring podcasters to gain attention by saying outrageous things—satirically suggesting claims like Abraham Lincoln being a chameleon alien. Florida’s governance is praised through an interview with Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, who outlines a bold plan to eliminate property taxes on homesteaded properties via ballot initiative. He emphasizes fiscal responsibility, alternative funding methods, and the importance of voter engagement. Collins also hints at a possible gubernatorial run following Governor Ron DeSantis’s term limit, calling DeSantis the greatest governor in Florida—and possibly U.S.—history. The hour also features endorsements for Cozy Earth sheets and Rapid Radios, along with a heartfelt promotion for Preborn clinics, which have saved over 67,000 babies in 2025 through free ultrasounds and support for pregnant women.

Dumbest Take Clay and Buck tackle a headline-grabbing sports scandal involving NBA legend Chauncey Billups, alleged mafia ties, and rigged high-stakes poker games. They dissect Stephen A. Smith’s controversial comments linking the FBI investigation to Trump, then play FBI Director Cash Patel’s fiery rebuttal dismissing those claims. Clay and Buck explore the broader implications of organized crime infiltrating poker circles, referencing pop culture hits like Rounders, 21, and Molly’s Game. TX Rep. Chip Roy Calls out Corruption  The ongoing government shutdown, skyrocketing Obamacare premiums, and his push for healthcare reform through expanded Health Savings Accounts and direct primary care. Roy also champions bipartisan legislation to ban congressional stock trading, citing widespread public support and the need to eliminate conflicts of interest. He then previews his campaign for Texas Attorney General, emphasizing battles against fentanyl trafficking, Soros-backed prosecutors, and radical Islamist networks allegedly targeting Texas communities. Experience Matters Letitia James pleading not guilty to mortgage fraud charges, sparking debate over the weaponization of the justice system and accountability for public officials. Clay and Buck question her rhetoric and emphasize the need for equal application of the law.  Next, the conversation shifts to New York City’s mayoral race, where Hakeem Jeffries officially endorses Zohran Mamdani, the far-left candidate who defeated Andrew Cuomo in the primary. Clay and Buck analyze the implications of Mamdani’s progressive housing policies, arguing that rent control and heavy regulation will worsen affordability and drive high-income earners—and tax revenue—out of the city. They contrast this with Florida’s market-driven approach to housing and governance, highlighting why states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are attracting wealth and residents.

The hosts also discuss the White House renovation project, praising its security benefits and functionality for hosting events. The conversation shifts to urban crime and political accountability, spotlighting San Francisco’s mayor Daniel Lurie for cooperating with President Trump on crime reduction efforts—a stark contrast to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who faced tough questioning from Bret Baier over Chicago’s soaring murder rate. Clay and Buck dissect crime statistics, noting that violent crime disproportionately affects Black and Hispanic communities, and argue that Trump’s surge-in-resources approach could become a national model. They propose a bold 2028 Republican platform: cut U.S. murders by half through federal intervention and tougher enforcement on repeat offenders. Next, the hosts highlight Bernie Sanders’ surprising admission that Trump “did a better job” securing the border, framing it as proof that strong immigration policies work. This segues into a discussion with Congressman Chip Roy, who addresses the ongoing government shutdown, skyrocketing Obamacare premiums, and his push for healthcare reform through expanded Health Savings Accounts and direct primary care.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show closes out the week with a mix of breaking political news, economic analysis, and cultural commentary. The hour begins with updates on Letitia James pleading not guilty to mortgage fraud charges, sparking debate over the weaponization of the justice system and accountability for public officials. The hosts question her rhetoric and emphasize the need for equal application of the law. Next, the conversation shifts to New York City’s mayoral race, where Hakeem Jeffries officially endorses Zohran Mamdani, the far-left candidate who defeated Andrew Cuomo in the primary. Clay and Buck analyze the implications of Mamdani’s progressive housing policies, arguing that rent control and heavy regulation will worsen affordability and drive high-income earners—and tax revenue—out of the city. They contrast this with Florida’s market-driven approach to housing and governance, highlighting why states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are attracting wealth and residents. Listeners weigh in on whether Curtis Sliwa should stay in the race, invoking sports analogies like the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” hockey upset to argue for fighting against long odds.

The hour then pivots to job market challenges and AI disruption, sparked by a caller from Utah who shares her struggles finding work.

The hosts also reflect on societal shifts toward wealth versus status, human fulfillment, and the resurgence of faith in an era of technological abundance. Additional topics include U.S. military strikes on cartel drug boats in the Caribbean, Elon Musk’s prediction of a jobless future, and practical advice for job seekers to network beyond online applications. The segment wraps with lighter fare: Clay’s NFL PrizePicks betting picks, listener debates over the greatest songs of the 1980s—with favorites like “Africa” by Toto, “Eye of the Tiger,” “Danger Zone,” and “Don’t Stop Believin’”—and Buck’s promise to hit 100 mph on the tennis court radar gun.

In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, rock legend and outspoken conservationist Ted Nugent joins Tudor to expose what he calls the “runaway immorality and corruption” of Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources. Nugent argues that government overreach and misguided environmental policies are destroying the state’s proud hunting heritage and hurting conservation efforts. From the fight to save a blind baby deer to the state’s refusal to open hunting seasons for Sandhill cranes, bears, and wolves, Nugent and Tudor take aim at bureaucrats, bad science, and anti-hunting activism that’s putting wildlife — and freedom — at risk. They also discuss how Michigan could boost its economy through responsible game management and tourism, the dangers of government “weaponization,” and why hunters must show up at the ballot box to take back control of their state.

In this BONUS episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson discuss:   DOJ Subpoenas and Alleged Political Surveillance Senator Cruz reveals that Jack Smith, Special Counsel under the Biden DOJ, subpoenaed his phone records as part of an investigation into events surrounding January 6th. Cruz was not initially listed among the nine Republican senators whose records were obtained because his phone provider, AT&T, refused to comply with the subpoena, citing constitutional protections under the Speech and Debate Clause. The DOJ reportedly obtained records from Verizon for other senators, including Marsha Blackburn, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, and Lindsey Graham. Cruz and Ferguson characterize the subpoenas as a politically motivated fishing expedition, lacking criminal justification. 2. Concerns Over Abuse of Power Cruz argues this represents a dangerous precedent of the executive branch spying on legislative members. He calls for hearings and investigations to uncover who authorized the subpoenas and to prevent future abuses. The operation is referred to as “Arctic Frost”, which Cruz likens to a modern-day Watergate. 3. Meeting with Donald Trump at the White House Cruz recounts a lunch with Trump and other Republican senators, where Trump showcased renovations to the Rose Garden and plans for a new ballroom. The upgrades are privately funded, not taxpayer-funded, yet have drawn criticism from Democrats. Trump also distributed personalized gifts (e.g., challenge coins, golf towels, M&Ms) and joked about naming a room the “Monica Lewinsky Room.” 4. Government Shutdown Cruz discusses the ongoing government shutdown, blaming Democrats for refusing to vote to reopen. He notes that only three Democrats have supported reopening efforts, despite impacts on TSA agents and air traffic controllers. He predicts that retiring Democrats may eventually break ranks to end the shutdown.

NBA Betting Scandal One of the most explosive sports scandals in recent memory: a massive NBA betting and poker rigging investigation led by the FBI. Clay and Buck break down the details of a multi-year probe that resulted in over 30 arrests across 11 states, involving current and former NBA players and coaches, including Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups, former player and coach Damon Jones, and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier. The scandal spans illegal gambling operations, insider betting schemes, and mafia-run poker games using high-tech cheating devices like x-ray tables, contact lenses, and altered shuffling machines. Clay explains how the FBI uncovered two interconnected cases: one involving the mob rigging high-stakes poker games with tens of millions of dollars at stake, and another exposing NBA players manipulating game performance for prop bets, such as Rozier allegedly leaving a game early after signaling insiders. The hosts discuss the staggering stupidity of risking a $26 million NBA salary for $200,000 in illicit winnings, and why legalized sports betting may actually help catch these schemes by flagging irregular wagering patterns. Oppression Olympics An in-depth look at the Virginia Governor’s race, dissecting conflicting polls on Abigail Spanberger and why Democrats are sounding alarms despite media narratives of a comfortable lead. The hosts mock MSNBC’s claim that Spanberger’s struggles stem from sexism, pointing out that she’s running against another woman and citing examples of women winning major races nationwide. They argue Democrats are leaning on identity politics rather than addressing policy failures. The conversation pivots to Spanberger’s refusal to call for the resignation of Jay Jones, the Democratic Attorney General candidate embroiled in a text scandal advocating political violence. Clay warns Virginians that Spanberger is a far-left candidate masquerading as moderate, predicting radical policies on gender identity and sports if she wins. This leads to a fiery discussion on transgender athletes, spotlighting a shocking Minnesota Supreme Court ruling that unanimously allowed a male powerlifter to compete in women’s competitions, citing “human rights.” Clay and Buck slam this as emblematic of the left’s strategy to impose gender ideology through state power, comparing it to COVID-era mandates and warning of broader cultural consequences. Rep. Jim Jordan  The ongoing government shutdown, now in its 23rd day, with Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan joining the show to explain why Democrats are holding the line—fear of primaries from the far-left and leveraging issues like Obamacare subsidies. Jordan predicts the shutdown could last until November and blasts Democrats’ Trump Derangement Syndrome as a driving force. Jordan also drops bombshell news: a criminal referral against former CIA Director John Brennan for allegedly lying under oath about the Steele dossier during the Russia investigation. He details evidence showing Brennan pushed for the dossier’s inclusion despite knowing it was unreliable, framing it as part of a broader pattern of anti-Trump bias. The discussion then shifts to Trump’s record in his second term, with Jordan calling it “the most impactful year of any presidency,” citing achievements on tax cuts, border security, Iran policy, and ending men in women’s sports. The hour closes with a quick revisit of the NBA betting scandal, contrasting today’s corruption with Pete Rose’s infamous wagers, and a nuanced debate on whether athletes betting on themselves should be treated differently. Clay explains why leagues ban all player gambling to prevent debt-driven corruption, noting referees as historically vulnerable due to lower salaries. Gov't Shutdown Realities The latest on the government shutdown, now stretching into weeks, as Clay and Buck dissect explosive remarks from Democratic House Whip Katherine Clark, who admitted the shutdown is being used as “leverage.” Speaker of the House Mike Johnson fires back, accusing Democrats of holding American families hostage to push for $200 billion in Obamacare subsidies and benefits for illegal immigrants. The hosts argue this political brinkmanship is driven by internal Democratic fears—Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries worried about primary challenges from the far-left, especially after Mamdani’s surprise victory in the New York City mayoral primary, which shook the party establishment. The conversation pivots to the New York City mayor’s race, analyzing the fiery second debate featuring Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and Mamdani. Clay praises Sliwa’s populist message but warns that staying in the race could guarantee a Mamdani win. They highlight Cuomo and Sliwa pressing Mamdani on housing ballot initiatives, exposing his evasiveness and lack of clear policy positions. Clay brands Momani as a “cipher”—a social media-savvy candidate with no substantive record—contrasting him with Cuomo’s long political history.

The conversation expands to the broader implications for sports integrity, comparing point-shaving to insider trading, and speculating whether this is just the tip of the iceberg for organized crime in sports gambling. Clay shares personal anecdotes about being invited to high-end poker games and warns listeners that mafia involvement could be far more widespread than reported. Buck adds perspective on organized crime’s evolution from violent enforcement to sophisticated fraud schemes. The hour also touches on cultural reactions, including Stephen A. Smith’s controversial comments linking the scandal to Donald Trump, which Clay and Buck dismiss as absurd. They emphasize that this case is about fraud, victims, and systemic corruption—not politics. The hosts predict Netflix documentaries and Hollywood movies will follow, given the cinematic nature of the scandal.

The hour also covers President Trump’s decision not to deploy federal forces to San Francisco, following talks with Mayor Daniel Lurie and tech leaders like Jensen Huang and Marc Benioff. Buck praises Trump’s pragmatic approach, contrasting it with Democrat-run cities like Chicago. From there, the hosts tackle the ongoing government shutdown, now in its 23rd day, with Congressman Jim Jordan joining to explain why Democrats are holding the line—fear of primaries from the far-left and leveraging issues like Obamacare subsidies.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of politics, culture, and sharp commentary. The hour kicks off with the latest on the government shutdown, now stretching into weeks, as Clay and Buck dissect explosive remarks from Democratic House Whip Katherine Clark, who admitted the shutdown is being used as “leverage.” Speaker of the House Mike Johnson fires back, accusing Democrats of holding American families hostage to push for $200 billion in Obamacare subsidies and benefits for illegal immigrants.

Clay praises Sliwa’s populist message but warns that staying in the race could guarantee a Mamdani win. They highlight Cuomo and Sliwa pressing Mamdani on housing ballot initiatives, exposing his evasiveness and lack of clear policy positions. Clay brands Momani as a “cipher”—a social media-savvy candidate with no substantive record—contrasting him with Cuomo’s long political history. Listeners weigh in with passionate talkbacks, challenging Clay’s stance on Sliwa dropping out and sparking a spirited debate on political strategy versus principle. The hour then shifts to cultural commentary, starting with a lighthearted discussion on 1980s music icons, from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and “Billie Jean” to Bon Jovi classics, revealing Clay’s surprising lack of music nostalgia compared to Buck’s picks. Next, the show tackles the uproar over Trump’s privately funded White House ballroom project, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt assuring transparency and zero taxpayer cost. Clay and Buck defend the addition as a tasteful upgrade, contrasting Trump’s vision with the controversial design of the Obama Presidential Library, which they blast as “one of the ugliest buildings ever,” sparking a broader critique of modern architecture and America’s trend toward uninspiring civic design. The hour closes with a cultural hot take: Buck rails against the fashion trend of baggy jeans for women, urging listeners to reject styles that sacrifice beauty for conformity.

Kingmakers Speculation intensifies around the 2028 presidential race, with predictions that Trump will act as kingmaker, potentially backing Vice President JD Vance with Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a running mate. On the Democratic side, Kamala Harris’s viability is questioned, with Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez floated as likely contenders. The hosts critique Harris’s campaign spending—allegedly $1.5 billion over 107 days—and her attempt to distance herself from Biden’s perceived failures. Does Curtis Want Zohran to Win? The chaotic state of the New York City mayoral race, spotlighting Curtis Sliwa’s refusal to drop out despite pressure from political elites and billionaires. They explore the implications of Sliwa’s candidacy on Andrew Cuomo’s chances and the rise of progressive candidate “Mom Donny,” whom they label a “communist.” Trump’s own commentary on the race is featured, emphasizing the national stakes and the potential fallout for the Democratic Party.

Vance’s background—from a troubled upbringing to Yale Law School and the Marine Corps—is framed as the embodiment of the American Dream, making him a compelling successor to Trump. The hosts defend Vance against media attacks, including criticisms from Jen Psaki and others who question his charisma (“Riz”) and unfairly target his wife, Usha Vance.

The show also explores Ron DeSantis’s political trajectory, praising his leadership in Florida while noting how media narratives shifted once he was seen as a potential rival to Trump. The hosts discuss the ideological realignment within both parties, noting how many 1990s Democrats would now be considered Republicans due to the left’s embrace of identity politics and progressive agendas. FL Lieutenant Gov. Jay Collins Florida’s governance is praised through an interview with Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, who outlines a bold plan to eliminate property taxes on homesteaded properties via ballot initiative. He emphasizes fiscal responsibility, alternative funding methods, and the importance of voter engagement.

Listeners are introduced to Sam Ponder, a former ESPN host and mother, who shares her firsthand experience with gender politics in youth sports, sparking a passionate discussion on fairness, biology, and the consequences of “toxic empathy.” The hosts frame this as a defining issue for the 2026 midterms and beyond. In addition, the hour touches on a Maine Senate primary scandal, where a Democratic candidate faces backlash over a Nazi tattoo, raising questions about vetting and accountability within the party. The hosts also discuss AI-driven stock market trends and the economic optimism under the Trump administration, tying in Clay’s recent trip to Taiwan and his new financial newsletter, “Money and Power.” Throughout Hour 1, Clay and Buck engage with callers from New York and across the country, debating the strategic implications of Sliwa’s candidacy, Cuomo’s viability, and the future of urban leadership. The segment ends with a call to action for voters in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, just 12 days ahead of election day.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the evolving political landscape as President Donald Trump continues to shape the future of the Republican Party. The hosts analyze key gubernatorial races in New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey, emphasizing their strategic importance ahead of the midterm elections. With Democrats threatening to obstruct Trump’s agenda if they gain control of the House, the conversation highlights the stakes for conservative voters and the broader MAGA movement. A major focus of this hour is the rise of Vice President JD Vance, portrayed as a disciplined, intelligent, and family-oriented conservative leader. Vance’s background—from a troubled upbringing to Yale Law School and the Marine Corps—is framed as the embodiment of the American Dream, making him a compelling successor to Trump. The hosts defend Vance against media attacks, including criticisms from Jen Psaki and others who question his charisma (“Riz”) and unfairly target his wife, Usha Vance. They argue that Vance’s biracial family and values resonate with everyday Americans, especially parents concerned about cultural shifts revealed during COVID-era remote learning. The show also explores Ron DeSantis’s political trajectory, praising his leadership in Florida while noting how media narratives shifted once he was seen as a potential rival to Trump. The hosts discuss the ideological realignment within both parties, noting how many 1990s Democrats would now be considered Republicans due to the left’s embrace of identity politics and progressive agendas. Speculation intensifies around the 2028 presidential race, with predictions that Trump will act as kingmaker, potentially backing Vice President JD Vance with Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a running mate. On the Democratic side, Kamala Harris’s viability is questioned, with Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez floated as likely contenders. The hosts critique Harris’s campaign spending—allegedly $1.5 billion over 107 days—and her attempt to distance herself from Biden’s perceived failures. Additional commentary includes criticism of Andrew Cuomo’s refusal to appear on the show, theories about Biden’s DOJ targeting political opponents like Eric Adams, and reflections on regional differences in mask-wearing and travel friendliness. The hour concludes with endorsements for Winsome Sears and Jason Miyares in Virginia, and a call for voters to stay engaged as the midterms approach.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a politically charged and culturally provocative segment, recorded live from Fort Wayne, Indiana, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of their affiliate station. This hour dives deep into the 2026 election cycle, with a sharp focus on battleground states like Texas and Maine, and features commentary on controversial Democratic candidates, identity politics, and the evolving media landscape—all under the leadership of current President Donald Trump. The show opens with analysis of upcoming elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City, setting the stage for broader discussions about the 2026 primaries. Maine’s Senate race takes center stage as hosts dissect the candidacy of Democrat Graham Plattner, a far-left former Marine embroiled in scandal over a Nazi SS tattoo. His opponent, Governor Janet Mills, is also scrutinized for her past clash with President Trump over transgender athletes in girls’ sports. The hosts question whether Nazi affiliations are politically disqualifying for Democrats, sparking debate on the left’s shifting ideological boundaries. Clay and Buck expand the conversation to critique the collapse of the Obama-era identity politics coalition, highlighting President Trump’s unexpected gains among Hispanic voters in 2024. They argue that Democrats’ demographic strategies have backfired, and that overuse of terms like “fascist” and “Nazi” has desensitized the public. Antifa is called out for embodying fascist traits, and the left is accused of lacking irony and accountability. Texas enters the spotlight with speculation around Jasmine Crockett’s potential Senate run. The hosts predict she could win the Democratic nomination but lose the general election, citing her rise to fame through provocative statements. This segues into a broader media strategy discussion, where Clay and Buck advise aspiring podcasters to gain attention by saying outrageous things—satirically suggesting claims like Abraham Lincoln being a chameleon alien. Florida’s governance is praised through an interview with Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, who outlines a bold plan to eliminate property taxes on homesteaded properties via ballot initiative. He emphasizes fiscal responsibility, alternative funding methods, and the importance of voter engagement. Collins also hints at a possible gubernatorial run following Governor Ron DeSantis’s term limit, calling DeSantis the greatest governor in Florida—and possibly U.S.—history. The hour also features endorsements for Cozy Earth sheets and Rapid Radios, along with a heartfelt promotion for Preborn clinics, which have saved over 67,000 babies in 2025 through free ultrasounds and support for pregnant women. The segment closes with listener feedback, humorous banter about Gavin Newsom’s appearance, and reflections on New York City’s political 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 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.

In this bonus episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz:   Allegations of George Soros Funding Anti-Trump “No Kings” Rallies Ben and Sen Cruz explain that recent anti-Trump rallies, branded as “No Kings,” were not grassroots movements but were funded by George Soros through his Open Society Foundations. They cite financial connections between Soros and progressive organizations like Indivisible, which allegedly helped organize the rallies. The podcast criticizes the rallies as being “AstroTurf” (fake grassroots), lacking diversity, and driven by radical left-wing ideology. Cruz introduces the “Stop Funders Act”, a proposed bill that would add rioting as a predicate act under the RICO Act, allowing prosecutors to target those who fund violent protests. 2. Mass Killing of Christians in Nigeria Cruz highlights the mass murder of over 50,000 Christians in Nigeria since 2009, allegedly by extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS in West Africa. He accuses the Nigerian government of either ignoring or enabling the violence, citing reports from the U.S. State Department and other sources.

It's All Gonna Be Okay Reflections on the ongoing government shutdown, now in its 21st day, framing it as a result of Democratic obstructionism. Clay and Buck also discuss President Donald Trump's $250 million White House ballroom renovation, joking about Clay’s dancing skills and the broader implications of the renovation. A major segment focuses on the broken ceasefire in Gaza, with Buck emphasizing that Hamas remains unchanged and peace is impossible while its leadership remains intact. The hosts also highlight Judge Jeanine Pirro’s defense of Edward “Big Balls,” a man who intervened in a carjacking incident, portraying him as a patriotic hero.The show then shifts to political media, mocking Karine Jean-Pierre’s book and criticizing the broader trend of Biden administration officials publishing memoirs. Clay and Buck argue that these books reveal a lack of awareness or integrity regarding President Biden’s cognitive decline. A significant portion of Hour 1 centers on the heated New York City mayoral race. Curtis Sliwa refuses to drop out despite pressure, which Clay argues will ensure the election of progressive candidate “Mamdani.” The hosts debate whether Andrew Cuomo would be a better alternative and explore the strategic implications for the Republican Party. They suggest that a Momani victory could benefit national GOP efforts by making far-left politics more visible and unpopular in battleground states. The discussion includes commentary on Bill Ackman, down-ballot Republican candidates, and the broader impact on upstate New York. NYC Mayor's Race New York City mayoral race, where Curtis Sliwa faces mounting pressure to drop out to prevent a victory by far-left candidate Zohran Mamdani. The New York Post’s front-page plea for Sliwa to “just walk away” underscores the urgency felt by conservatives. Buck and Clay debate whether Andrew Cuomo would be a better alternative, despite his controversial record on bail reform and COVID-19 policies. They also discuss the broader political ramifications, suggesting that a Mamdani win could energize Republican campaigns in New Jersey, Virginia, and beyond. Stripper Teachers The fallout from a Chicago elementary school teacher who made a gesture mimicking the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a “No Kings” protest. Clay argues that public school teachers should be held to a moral standard and that such behavior warrants termination. This sparks a lively debate with listeners calling in to defend or challenge the idea, including humorous and serious takes on whether teachers should be allowed to moonlight as strippers or work at Hooters. The hosts also revisit the Jimmy Kimmel controversy and the broader issue of free speech versus professional accountability. They emphasize that First Amendment protections do not guarantee immunity from consequences in the workplace, especially when public trust is at stake. This leads into a discussion of COVID-era hypocrisy, including the absurd restrictions placed on athletes like Kyrie Irving and the shifting public narrative around vaccine mandates. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is praised for acknowledging that Kyrie was right to resist the COVID shot, a stance that was once widely condemned. Dishonest Democrats Trump’s East Wing renovation, including a ballroom project and a humorous historical anecdote about JFK’s infamous White House pool parties. The hosts use this to critique the media’s long-standing romanticization of Democratic figures like JFK and FDR, highlighting how past administrations manipulated public perception with the help of a compliant press. The conversation shifts to Trump’s speech on the shutdown, where he praises OMB Director Russ Vought—nicknamed “Darth Vader”—for cutting Democrat priorities and wasteful spending. Clay and Buck argue that the shutdown has allowed the administration to eliminate unnecessary programs, particularly in blue states, and that Democrats are struggling to justify their resistance. They mock Chuck Schumer’s attempt to frame the shutdown as a Republican failure, labeling it the “Schumer Shutdown” and pointing out the hypocrisy of Democrats who once promised Obamacare would lower healthcare costs.

Batya Ungar-Sargon is quoted criticizing the protest as anti-democratic, noting that Trump is simply enacting the agenda he campaigned on. Additional segments include listener call-ins, such as a trucker’s critique of collectivism and authoritarianism, and a humorous debate over whether teachers should be allowed to moonlight as strippers.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a hard-hitting, politically charged analysis of current events, with a strong focus on the unraveling legacy of the Biden administration and the intensifying New York City mayoral race. The hour begins with commentary on President Donald Trump’s ongoing remarks from the Rose Garden, followed by a deep dive into the media tour of former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who is promoting her new book and claiming to be an “independent” rather than a Democrat. Clay and Buck dissect her evasive answers about President Joe Biden’s fitness to serve through 2028, calling out what they describe as dishonesty and political damage control. The hosts explore the broader implications of Biden-era officials attempting to rehabilitate their public images through memoirs, noting that even liberal media figures like Stephen Colbert are now openly criticizing the administration’s handling of Biden’s cognitive decline. They argue that the credibility of many Democrats has been permanently damaged due to their defense of Biden’s fitness and suggest that this could impact future contenders like Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Gavin Newsom. The conversation shifts to the New York City mayoral race, where Curtis Sliwa faces mounting pressure to drop out to prevent a victory by far-left candidate Zohran Mamdani. The New York Post’s front-page plea for Sliwa to “just walk away” underscores the urgency felt by conservatives. Buck and Clay debate whether Andrew Cuomo would be a better alternative, despite his controversial record on bail reform and COVID-19 policies. They also discuss the broader political ramifications, suggesting that a Mamdani win could energize Republican campaigns in New Jersey, Virginia, and beyond. A major segment of Hour 2 tackles the fallout from a Chicago elementary school teacher who made a gesture mimicking the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a “No Kings” protest.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political analysis, historical reflection, and breaking news, centered around President Donald Trump’s remarks, the ongoing government shutdown, and the intensifying New York City mayoral race. The hour opens with commentary on Trump’s East Wing renovation, including a ballroom project and a humorous historical anecdote about JFK’s infamous White House pool parties. The hosts use this to critique the media’s long-standing romanticization of Democratic figures like JFK and FDR, highlighting how past administrations manipulated public perception with the help of a compliant press. The conversation shifts to Trump’s speech on the shutdown, where he praises OMB Director Russ Vought—nicknamed “Darth Vader”—for cutting Democrat priorities and wasteful spending. Clay and Buck argue that the shutdown has allowed the administration to eliminate unnecessary programs, particularly in blue states, and that Democrats are struggling to justify their resistance. They mock Chuck Schumer’s attempt to frame the shutdown as a Republican failure, labeling it the “Schumer Shutdown” and pointing out the hypocrisy of Democrats who once promised Obamacare would lower healthcare costs. A key segment features TN Senator Marsha Blackburn, who joins live from Washington, D.C. after attending a lunch with President Trump in the Rose Garden. Blackburn discusses the shutdown’s impact, the Democrats’ push to supercharge Obamacare, and the strategic budget cuts being implemented. She also highlights the success of Trump’s National Guard deployment in Memphis, Tennessee, citing dramatic reductions in crime, gang arrests, and the rescue of missing children. Blackburn suggests Memphis could become a national model for urban crime reduction. The hosts then pivot to economic policy, playing a clip of Jon Stewart criticizing Democrats for relying on subsidies that inflate costs in healthcare and education. Bernie Sanders responds with his usual rhetoric about taxing billionaires, prompting Clay and Buck to debunk the myth that higher taxes on the wealthy can solve systemic budget issues. They emphasize that inflation acts as a hidden tax on everyday Americans and that government overspending is the root cause of economic instability.Listener calls round out the hour, with discussions on free speech and workplace consequences following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. One caller shares a story about a colleague being fired over social media comments, while another highlights a viral video of a teacher celebrating Kirk’s death in front of students. The hosts reiterate that First Amendment protections do not shield individuals from professional accountability, especially in public service roles. The hour closes with more analysis of the New York City mayoral race, where Curtis Sliwa’s refusal to drop out is seen as paving the way for Zohran Mamdani’s victory. Callers debate whether Republicans should support Andrew Cuomo to block Mamdani, with some arguing that a Mamdani win would expose the dangers of far-left governance and benefit the GOP nationally. The show ends with a preview of Clay and Buck’s upcoming visit to Fort Wayne, Indiana for a station anniversary event.

No Kings Loser-Fest Clay and Buck diving into the fallout from the “No Kings” protest aimed at President Donald Trump. They mock the protest as ineffective and desperate, noting its aging demographic and lack of clear purpose. The hosts argue that Trump’s opponents have shifted from substantive issues to symbolic gestures, revealing the fractured state of the anti-Trump movement. They highlight Trump’s own response from Air Force One, where he dismissed the protests as “a joke” and reiterated, “I’m not a king.”  The discussion expands to the government shutdown drama, suggesting Democrats may prolong it for political leverage in upcoming elections. Clay and Buck emphasize Trump’s strong approval ratings and assert that his first year in office is among the most effective in U.S. history, despite ongoing judicial resistance. Sorry, New York  Clay and Buck dissect the explosive controversy surrounding front-runner Zohran Mamdani, who was recently photographed campaigning alongside an Imam linked to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and pro-jihad rhetoric. President Donald Trump weighed in, calling the association “a shame” and questioning Mamdani’s judgment. The hosts debate whether this scandal will impact the race and highlight that major Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have withheld endorsements, signaling deep party discomfort. Clay and Buck predict that Mamdani will likely win, citing gambling markets giving him a 93% chance of victory, compared to Cuomo’s slim odds and Curtis Sliwa’s near-zero chances. They argue that Mamdani’s radical proposals—such as city-run grocery stores and free public transit—are unrealistic and doomed to fail but warn that his charisma could make him a dangerous figure for Democrats nationally. The conversation explores whether Mamdani will moderate his agenda early on to avoid backlash before ramping up progressive policies later in his term. Identity Politics Fracture The Democratic Party strategy and 2026 midterms, suggesting that figures like AOC and Gavin Newsom may secretly prefer chaos under far-left leadership to position themselves as saviors in 2028. Clay and Buck stress that Democrats need star power and name recognition to win nationally, dismissing moderates like Andy Beshear as too bland for the modern political landscape. Listeners call in to vent frustrations about New York politics, with some advocating for Curtis Sliwa to stay in the race and others arguing Republicans should let NYC “sink beneath the waves of communism.” Callers share real-world anecdotes about crime, fare evasion, and mass migration from NYC to Long Island and New Jersey, underscoring fears that Mamdani’s policies—such as free buses—will worsen homelessness and strain city services.  The discussion expands to foreign investment in NYC real estate, skyrocketing rents, and the long-standing trend of oligarchs using Manhattan property to shield assets.  Clay and Buck also tackle cultural contradictions within the left, highlighting the “unholy alliance” between progressive activists and Islamist sympathizers, questioning how identity politics can reconcile support for LGBTQ rights with pro-Palestinian movements that endorse Sharia law. They predict these fractures will intensify in coming years. The Sickness Fallout from the “No Kings” protest and its deeper cultural implications. Clay opens by contrasting the protest with the overwhelming victory of President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, noting that Democrats—despite their rhetoric—are the real “party of kings” given their history of rigging primaries for Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. He critiques the protest as a relic of 1960s activism, dominated by aging hippies clinging to outdated ideals, but warns of a more troubling trend: younger radicals embracing violence. Clay highlights a disturbing viral video of a Chicago elementary school teacher at the protest gleefully mimicking the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. He argues this behavior reflects a dangerous cultural sickness, questioning how such individuals remain employed while schools enforce strict moral standards against legal but controversial side jobs like OnlyFans modeling. This sparks a broader discussion on morals clauses for educators, with Clay asserting that celebrating political violence should be grounds for immediate termination.

They mock the protest as ineffective and desperate, noting its aging demographic and lack of clear purpose. The hosts argue that Trump’s opponents have shifted from substantive issues to symbolic gestures, revealing the fractured state of the anti-Trump movement.

Clay and Buck emphasize Trump’s strong approval ratings and assert that his first year in office is among the most effective in U.S. history, despite ongoing judicial resistance.  Next, the show pivots to New York City politics, analyzing new polling in the mayoral race. Prediction markets give Momani a commanding 92% chance of victory, while Curtis Sliwa’s continued presence could block Andrew Cuomo from mounting a challenge.

Hour 2 zeroes in on the New York City mayoral race, which the hosts argue is the most consequential upcoming election. Clay and Buck dissect the explosive controversy surrounding front-runner Zohran Mamdani, who was recently photographed campaigning alongside an Imam linked to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and pro-jihad rhetoric. President Donald Trump weighed in, calling the association “a shame” and questioning Mamdani’s judgment. The hosts debate whether this scandal will impact the race and highlight that major Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have withheld endorsements, signaling deep party discomfort. Clay and Buck predict that Mamdani will likely win, citing gambling markets giving him a 93% chance of victory, compared to Cuomo’s slim odds and Curtis Sliwa’s near-zero chances. They argue that Mamdani’s radical proposals—such as city-run grocery stores and free public transit—are unrealistic and doomed to fail but warn that his charisma could make him a dangerous figure for Democrats nationally. The conversation explores whether Mamdani will moderate his agenda early on to avoid backlash before ramping up progressive policies later in his term. The hour also examines Democratic Party strategy and 2026 midterms, suggesting that figures like AOC and Gavin Newsom may secretly prefer chaos under far-left leadership to position themselves as saviors in 2028. Clay and Buck stress that Democrats need star power and name recognition to win nationally, dismissing moderates like Andy Beshear as too bland for the modern political landscape. Listeners call in to vent frustrations about New York politics, with some advocating for Curtis Sliwa to stay in the race and others arguing Republicans should let NYC “sink beneath the waves of communism.” Callers share real-world anecdotes about crime, fare evasion, and mass migration from NYC to Long Island and New Jersey, underscoring fears that Mamdani’s policies—such as free buses—will worsen homelessness and strain city services. The discussion expands to foreign investment in NYC real estate, skyrocketing rents, and the long-standing trend of oligarchs using Manhattan property to shield assets. Clay and Buck also tackle cultural contradictions within the left, highlighting the “unholy alliance” between progressive activists and Islamist sympathizers, questioning how identity politics can reconcile support for LGBTQ rights with pro-Palestinian movements that endorse Sharia law. They predict these fractures will intensify in coming years.

Hour 3 dives into the fallout from the “No Kings” protest and its deeper cultural implications. Clay opens by contrasting the protest with the overwhelming victory of President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, noting that Democrats—despite their rhetoric—are the real “party of kings” given their history of rigging primaries for Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. He critiques the protest as a relic of 1960s activism, dominated by aging hippies clinging to outdated ideals, but warns of a more troubling trend: younger radicals embracing violence. Clay highlights a disturbing viral video of a Chicago elementary school teacher at the protest gleefully mimicking the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. He argues this behavior reflects a dangerous cultural sickness, questioning how such individuals remain employed while schools enforce strict moral standards against legal but controversial side jobs like OnlyFans modeling. This sparks a broader discussion on morals clauses for educators, with Clay asserting that celebrating political violence should be grounds for immediate termination. The hour then pivots to economic news, celebrating a booming stock market nearing record highs and gas prices hitting a four-year low, signaling strong performance under Trump’s leadership. Clay also revisits the shocking Louvre crown jewels heist, mocking France’s inability to secure its most prized artifacts and tying the story to broader themes of declining masculinity and security in Western nations. Listeners weigh in on the New York City mayoral race, where Zohran Mamdani remains the overwhelming favorite according to polls and prediction markets. Clay reiterates that Curtis Sliwa and Andrew Cuomo have virtually no chance unless Sliwa exits the race, framing Mamdani’s likely win as both a disaster for NYC and a potential catalyst for future Republican gains statewide. He cites a surprising statistic: New York was closer to flipping red in 2024 than Texas or Florida were to turning blue, suggesting an opening for GOP figures like Elise Stefanik in 2026. The hour closes with a fiery and humorous debate sparked by a caller defending teachers moonlighting as strippers. Clay pushes back, arguing that while legal, such jobs violate community standards for educators. The exchange underscores broader cultural tensions over morality, free speech, and professional boundaries in an era of political polarization.

From combat veterans and custody battles to Christ on the cross and Nietzsche’s philosophy, Rut asks the haunting question: 👉 How do we carry the weight without collapsing beneath it?

A deep dive into President Donald Trump’s historic 36-hour diplomatic marathon and the groundbreaking Gaza peace deal. Clay and Buck open the hour by contrasting Trump’s high-energy international diplomacy with Joe Biden’s limited schedule, highlighting Trump’s whirlwind trip to Israel and Egypt, his speeches to the Knesset, meetings with world leaders, and the signing of a landmark ceasefire agreement that secured the release of all Israeli hostages and nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees. The hosts emphasize that this achievement positions Trump as a dominant figure in Middle East peace negotiations—surpassing past presidents from Carter to Obama. The discussion features reactions from unlikely sources: left-leaning media figures and celebrities such as Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Joe Scarborough, who publicly acknowledged Trump’s success. Clay and Buck play clips from CNN, MSNBC, and prominent Democrats praising Trump’s role in brokering peace, noting how even Trump’s fiercest critics are conceding victory. They explore whether this diplomatic triumph will resonate with everyday Americans or remain a major news story without shifting public opinion, particularly among Jewish voters. The conversation touches on cultural and political dynamics within the Jewish community, analyzing whether Trump’s achievement could influence voting trends. President Donald Trump meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to push for a ceasefire and a lasting peace agreement in the Russia-Ukraine war.  Clay and Buck discuss Trump’s role as mediator between Zelensky and Vladimir Putin, comparing the dynamic to high-stakes negotiations and emphasizing Trump’s unique ability to command respect from global adversaries. Zelensky’s remarks underscore the need for security guarantees and bilateral agreements, while Trump signals a potential diplomatic breakthrough. The conversation shifts to economic leverage in the conflict, with Trump announcing that India will stop buying Russian oil, a move that could cripple Moscow’s ability to skirt sanctions. Clay and Buck explain how India’s previous role as a middleman for Russian energy exports helped Putin evade penalties, and why cutting off this lifeline could reshape the war’s trajectory. Trump also hints at military deterrence, mentioning Tomahawk missiles as part of U.S. support for Ukraine, while stressing his goal to end the war without escalating to direct strikes.

In Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay and Buck tackle the most pressing political and cultural issues dominating headlines. The hour begins with a deep dive into Day 15 of the Schumer-led government shutdown, examining its economic toll, the political brinkmanship behind it, and why Democrats are being blamed for holding up funding. They highlight the real-world impact on military families and federal workers, with warnings that the shutdown could cost the U.S. economy up to $15 billion per day. The hosts scrutinize Democratic leadership struggles, focusing on Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries’ efforts to maintain control amid fears of primary challenges from progressives like AOC. They connect the shutdown to upcoming political events, including the “No Kings” rally, and discuss how Democrats lack a clear message heading into the 2026 midterms. Clay and Buck also explore a potentially landmark Supreme Court case that could outlaw racial gerrymandering, reshaping congressional maps and influencing future elections. They analyze how this ruling, combined with census changes and debates over counting illegal immigrants, could shift House representation and electoral votes toward red states. The conversation then pivots to Kamala Harris’ controversial claim that she was “the most qualified candidate ever” for president, sparking a broader critique of identity politics and DEI-driven leadership. Clay argues that liberal white women are driving the woke movement, while Buck underscores Kamala’s disconnect with voters. Cultural trends take center stage as the hosts discuss record-breaking sports ratings for MLB playoffs, college football, and the NFL, framing them as signs of national unity under Trump’s presidency. They also address the sharp decline in teens identifying as transgender or non-binary, calling it a cultural turning point and criticizing gender reassignment surgeries for minors. Upcoming clips teased include Keira Knightley’s reaction to JK Rowling protests and a California candidate’s bizarre proposal for gender-neutral Olympics.

In Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay and Buck deliver sharp analysis on major legal and cultural battles shaping America. The hour opens with a deep dive into the Supreme Court’s pivotal hearing on racial gerrymandering, a case that could redefine congressional redistricting and dismantle race-based districting rules rooted in the Voting Rights Act. The hosts explain the historical context of civil rights-era protections, the tension with the Equal Protection Clause, and why they believe the Court is poised to declare racial gerrymandering unconstitutional. They critique Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s controversial analogy comparing voting access to disability accommodations, arguing it exposes flaws in DEI-driven judicial appointments. Clay and Buck then broaden the discussion to shifting voter demographics, noting how Black and Hispanic voters are increasingly diverse in political leanings, undermining the decades-old assumption of monolithic voting blocs. They highlight Trump’s gains among Black men and the growing unpredictability of Hispanic voters, framing these trends as a major challenge for Democrats heading into future elections. The conversation pivots to cultural flashpoints, starting with The View’s claim that Republicans avoid appearing on the show. Clay and Buck reveal behind-the-scenes emails proving they pitched themselves as guests, calling out Joy Behar’s narrative and challenging the show to host a real debate. They share humorous commentary on media bias and the lack of ideological diversity in mainstream platforms. From there, the hosts tackle the transgender sports controversy, spotlighting a California gubernatorial candidate’s stunning suggestion that gender-neutral Olympic competitions are “worth discussing.” Clay and Buck dismantle this argument with hard data, noting that even high school boys outperform the fastest female Olympians, and warn that such policies would erase women’s sports. They also cover breaking news on a federal judge blocking an attempt to withdraw a transgender athlete lawsuit, setting the stage for a Supreme Court showdown over whether men can compete in women’s sports. This ties into broader litigation on gender-affirming care for minors, where recent rulings have upheld state bans, signaling a major legal shift.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the latest political trends, election forecasts, and cultural flashpoints shaping America. The hour kicks off with guest Ryan Girdusky, host of It’s a Numbers Game, analyzing key battleground races in Virginia and New Jersey. Ryan breaks down polling data, prediction markets, and enthusiasm gaps, explaining why Virginia’s attorney general race could swing Republican even if Democrats hold the governorship. He also highlights New Jersey’s tightening gubernatorial contest, where GOP candidate Jack Ciattarelli faces an uphill battle despite strong independent support and a notable enthusiasm gap among Democratic voters. The conversation shifts to House and Senate control, with Ryan outlining how upcoming Supreme Court rulings on the Voting Rights Act could reshape congressional maps and make it nearly impossible for Democrats to reclaim the House. He warns that striking down Section 2 would trigger aggressive GOP redistricting across Southern states, fundamentally altering the political landscape. Next, the show pivots to New York City politics, dissecting Andrew Cuomo’s struggling mayoral campaign and why his failure to court Republican voters could cost him the race. Ryan argues Cuomo’s lackluster strategy stems from decades of unchallenged political dominance, leaving him ill-prepared for a competitive contest.  Cultural commentary takes center stage as Clay and Buck discuss Hollywood’s shifting attitudes, spotlighting Keira Knightley’s response to questions about the Harry Potter boycott over J.K. Rowling’s views on gender issues. Her dismissive laugh signals growing fatigue with woke orthodoxy, even among celebrities. The hour also features a fiery interview with Steve Hilton, Republican candidate for California governor. Hilton slams Gavin Newsom’s leadership, exposing California’s deep problems—highest poverty and unemployment rates, worst public school performance, soaring taxes, and a broken housing system. He contrasts Newsom’s rosy stump speech touting California’s size and economic clout with harsh realities like wildfire recovery failures and bureaucratic gridlock. Hilton vows to reverse far-left policies, including laws allowing biological men in women’s sports, and calls on listeners nationwide to support his campaign. Finally, Clay and Buck engage listeners with humorous talkbacks on everyday fears—like choking alone at home—adding a relatable, lighthearted close to an hour packed with political insight and cultural critique.

Gross Bolton The bombshell indictment of former National Security Advisor John Bolton on charges related to the transmission and retention of national defense information. Buck explains the gravity of the allegations, noting Bolton allegedly kept top-secret material and wrote detailed diary entries from classified meetings for a future book deal.  The hosts break down the legal complexities, including the “graymail” defense, the role of secure facilities (SCIFs), and why Bolton’s case differs from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago documents controversy. They also compare Bolton’s situation to Hillary Clinton’s email scandal and Joe Biden’s classified document mishandling, highlighting what they call a double standard in DOJ enforcement. What is Curtis Doing? Clay and Buck dissect polling data showing Zohran Momani with an 18-point lead, making an Andrew Cuomo comeback nearly impossible unless Curtis Sliwa exits the race. Buck argues that Sliwa’s continued candidacy splits the anti-Momani vote, virtually guaranteeing a far-left victory.  Clay controversially suggests that a Momani win could benefit Republicans nationally by highlighting progressive failures, potentially boosting Elise Stefanik’s chances against Gov. Kathy Hochul in 2026. They spotlight Stefanik’s fiery statement labeling Momani a “jihadist” for his pro-Hamas stance, noting the reluctance of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to endorse him. The conversation shifts to public safety and policing, analyzing Momani’s hollow apology to NYPD officers and his proposal to make public transit free by hiking taxes on top earners and corporations. Clay and Buck argue that safety and cleanliness—not cost—are the real issues plaguing New York’s transit system. Tensions in Venezuela An in-depth interview with former Navy SEAL and Clay & Buck Podcast Network host David Rutherford. Rutherford provides expert insight into escalating tensions in Venezuela, where U.S. forces have conducted kinetic strikes on narco-terrorist boats linked to Mexican cartels. He details China’s $60 billion investment in Venezuela, cartel bounties on U.S. border agents, and the likelihood of joint special operations missions ramping up.  Rutherford predicts Maduro may seek a deal to retain power but warns of growing pressure for UN-supervised elections and U.S. leverage over Venezuela’s oil industry. The discussion also touches on cartel strategies, potential civil unrest, and the geopolitical tug-of-war involving China and BRICS nations. The hour closes with a caller emphasizing the entrenched corruption in Venezuela, naming narco kingpin Diosdado Cabello as a key player alongside Maduro. Clay and Buck underscore how these developments tie into falling oil and gas prices, now at their lowest since 2021—a major economic win that’s flying under the radar. The Two FBI's Former FBI agent Nicole Parker joins the show to discuss her explosive new book, The Two FBIs: The Bravery and Betrayal I Saw in My Time at the Bureau. Parker calls the John Bolton indictment “solid” and praises the current DOJ and FBI leadership under Pam Bondi and Cash Patel for restoring equal enforcement of the law. She details the internal “civil war” between rank-and-file agents (FBI One) and politically weaponized factions (FBI Two), exposing how diversity initiatives and partisan agendas undermined the Bureau’s mission.  Parker recounts shocking stories, including agents refusing to participate in the Mar-a-Lago raid, CNN being tipped off, and the tragic death of her best friend during a child exploitation operation—while SWAT resources were diverted to January 6th cases. Her insights raise critical questions about whether cultural reforms at the FBI can withstand future political swings.

They also compare Bolton’s situation to Hillary Clinton’s email scandal and Joe Biden’s classified document mishandling, highlighting what they call a double standard in DOJ enforcement. Clay and Buck then pivot to the political fallout from Democrats’ handling of President Biden’s cognitive decline. They spotlight comments from Charlamagne tha God, who blasted Democrats for lying about Biden’s fitness for office, asking, “If they lied about Joe Biden, how can you trust them on anything?” The hosts critique Rep. Eric Swalwell’s inflammatory claim that “Republicans are for cancer,” calling it a childish and dishonest argument. This segment underscores growing cracks in Democratic messaging and previews how figures like Gavin Newsom may benefit from distancing themselves from the Biden administration.

Clay and Buck encourage listeners to catch Hour 1 for the full breakdown before pivoting to the latest political drama in New York City’s mayoral race. The hosts dissect polling data showing Zohran Momani with an 18-point lead, making an Andrew Cuomo comeback nearly impossible unless Curtis Sliwa exits the race.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers major geopolitical updates, hard-hitting national security analysis, and insider revelations about the FBI. The hour opens with breaking news from the White House as President Donald Trump meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to push for a ceasefire and a lasting peace agreement in the Russia-Ukraine war.  Clay and Buck discuss Trump’s role as mediator between Zelensky and Vladimir Putin, comparing the dynamic to high-stakes negotiations and emphasizing Trump’s unique ability to command respect from global adversaries. Zelensky’s remarks underscore the need for security guarantees and bilateral agreements, while Trump signals a potential diplomatic breakthrough. The conversation shifts to economic leverage in the conflict, with Trump announcing that India will stop buying Russian oil, a move that could cripple Moscow’s ability to skirt sanctions. Clay and Buck explain how India’s previous role as a middleman for Russian energy exports helped Putin evade penalties, and why cutting off this lifeline could reshape the war’s trajectory. Trump also hints at military deterrence, mentioning Tomahawk missiles as part of U.S. support for Ukraine, while stressing his goal to end the war without escalating to direct strikes. The hour then pivots to Latin America, where Trump delivers a blunt warning to Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, signaling zero tolerance for narco-terrorism and cartel-linked regimes.

In the second half of the hour, former FBI agent Nicole Parker joins the show to discuss her explosive new book, The Two FBIs: The Bravery and Betrayal I Saw in My Time at the Bureau. Parker calls the John Bolton indictment “solid” and praises the current DOJ and FBI leadership under Pam Bondi and Cash Patel for restoring equal enforcement of the law. She details the internal “civil war” between rank-and-file agents (FBI One) and politically weaponized factions (FBI Two), exposing how diversity initiatives and partisan agendas undermined the Bureau’s mission.  Parker recounts shocking stories, including agents refusing to participate in the Mar-a-Lago raid, CNN being tipped off, and the tragic death of her best friend during a child exploitation operation—while SWAT resources were diverted to January 6th cases. Her insights raise critical questions about whether cultural reforms at the FBI can withstand future political swings. The hour closes with a political twist: Barack Obama releases an endorsement video for Abigail Spanberger in Virginia’s governor race, signaling potential Democratic concerns about turnout and minority voter support. Clay and Buck interpret this as a sign of vulnerability for Democrats and a possible advantage for GOP candidates like Winsome Sears and Jason Miyares.

In this hard-hitting BONUS episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson pull back the curtain on the real reason behind the government shutdown: Democrat obstruction. Led by Senator Chuck Schumer, the Left is accused of deliberately keeping the government closed to push a radical agenda — including taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. Cruz and Ferguson highlight how Republicans are fighting to reopen the government and protect American workers, while Democrats play politics at the expense of federal employees and national security. President Trump is commended for his decisive leadership, using Defense Department funds to ensure our service members are paid — a move that exposes the Left’s failed strategy. The episode also covers the upcoming “No Kings Rally,” a far-left protest in D.C., which Cruz suggests is part of the Democrats’ broader anti-Trump narrative. He predicts the shutdown will only end when moderate Democrats stand up to their party’s extreme wing. In a moving second half, Cruz honors Charlie Kirk during his posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony. With heartfelt reflections on Kirk’s legacy, Cruz shares how Erica Kirk’s public forgiveness of her husband’s killer was a powerful act of Christian grace. Kirk is remembered as a bold voice for truth, freedom, and faith — a modern-day martyr compared to Lincoln and MLK. Highlights Include: Democrat-led shutdown and its impact on American families Trump’s leadership and defense of military pay Radical immigration policies exposed Tribute to Charlie Kirk’s life, faith, and conservative influence Christian forgiveness and moral courage in the face of tragedy Tune in now for a passionate defense of conservative values and a tribute to one of the movement’s most inspiring voices.

Trump is Feelin' It President Donald Trump’s high-stakes diplomacy, including his call with Vladimir Putin and efforts to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine. They analyze Trump’s strategy to pressure Russia by potentially supplying Ukraine with long-range weapons capable of striking inside Russian territory, and the economic leverage involving oil and gas markets. The conversation expands to Trump’s simultaneous trade showdown with China, highlighting looming 100% tariffs on Chinese goods and the global battle over rare earth minerals critical to modern technology. The hosts explore whether Trump can realistically achieve a ceasefire in Ukraine, the risks of escalation—including nuclear threats—and the role of frozen Russian assets in Europe as a potential game-changer. They also touch on U.S. defense production challenges, noting America’s limited capacity to ramp up weapons manufacturing compared to Russia’s reserves, and how winter conditions in Ukraine could stall battlefield advances and open a window for negotiations. Clean Up on Isle Amanpour  A sharp critique of CNN’s Christiane Amanpour after her controversial claim that Israeli hostages were “treated better than the average Gazan.”  Clay and Buck play the original clip and her subsequent apology, arguing that her first statement reveals the media’s bias toward Hamas narratives. They dismantle myths of “genocide” and “starvation” in Gaza, underscore Hamas’s use of civilians as human shields, and stress the moral clarity of Israel’s position in the conflict. The conversation pivots to major breaking news: President Donald Trump’s tweet summarizing his lengthy call with Vladimir Putin. Trump described the exchange as “very productive,” noting Putin congratulated him on Middle East peace efforts and agreed to high-level talks aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Clay and Buck analyze the geopolitical stakes, including Trump’s upcoming Oval Office meeting with President Zelensky, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s role in negotiations, and Hungary as a potential summit location. Mamdani is Wrong About Everything New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum. Clay and Buck critique Mamdani’s evasive answers on whether Hamas should disarm, comparing his rhetorical style to Abigail Spanberger’s non-answers. They warn that Mamdani’s progressive proposals—such as rent freezes and city-run grocery stores—reflect economic illiteracy that worsens housing affordability and cost-of-living crises. The hosts draw parallels to California’s regulatory failures and Canada’s housing costs, arguing government overreach drives prices higher. Democrats Have Become a Slur President Donald Trump’s multi-hour call with Vladimir Putin, which Trump says will lead to high-level advisor meetings and a future summit in Budapest aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Clay and Buck examine Trump’s diplomatic momentum following the Gaza peace deal and discuss whether his approach could reshape global negotiations. The conversation shifts to domestic politics, spotlighting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum. Mamdani refused to credit Trump for the Gaza peace agreement, calling it “too early,” and offered vague answers on Hamas disarmament. Clay and Buck critique Mamdani’s progressive agenda—tax hikes, rent freezes, and city-run grocery stores—arguing these policies would harm New York’s economy and worsen affordability. They also highlight Mamdani’s recent apology to police for past “defund” rhetoric, framing it as political damage control.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into major geopolitical and domestic political stories shaping the news cycle. Clay and Buck open the hour discussing President Donald Trump’s high-stakes diplomacy, including his live call with Vladimir Putin and efforts to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine.  They analyze Trump’s strategy to pressure Russia by potentially supplying Ukraine with long-range weapons capable of striking inside Russian territory, and the economic leverage involving oil and gas markets. The conversation expands to Trump’s simultaneous trade showdown with China, highlighting looming 100% tariffs on Chinese goods and the global battle over rare earth minerals critical to modern technology. The hosts explore whether Trump can realistically achieve a ceasefire in Ukraine, the risks of escalation—including nuclear threats—and the role of frozen Russian assets in Europe as a potential game-changer. They also touch on U.S. defense production challenges, noting America’s limited capacity to ramp up weapons manufacturing compared to Russia’s reserves, and how winter conditions in Ukraine could stall battlefield advances and open a window for negotiations. Shifting to U.S. politics, Clay and Buck break down a bombshell Axios report revealing that top Democrats are plotting a 2028 primary challenge against Senator John Fetterman. They play clips from Fetterman’s recent NewsNation town hall, where he criticized Democratic extremism and defended Trump voters as “not Nazis,” sparking backlash from the party’s progressive base.  The discussion frames Fetterman as a rare Democrat willing to reject divisive rhetoric, drawing comparisons to Tulsi Gabbard, and examines how this internal feud could fracture Democrats in Pennsylvania—a pivotal battleground state. Additional topics include AOC’s claim that Republicans are misleading young men with “toxic masculinity,” the tightening New York City mayoral race featuring candidate Momani, and signs of a competitive Virginia governor’s race prompting Barack Obama to campaign for Democrats. Clay and Buck also revisit media narratives around Israel and Gaza, debunking exaggerated claims of “genocide” and “starvation,” and calling out CNN’s Christiane Amanpour for controversial remarks about hostages.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of breaking news, cultural commentary, and political analysis. The hour begins with a sharp critique of CNN’s Christiane Amanpour after her controversial claim that Israeli hostages were “treated better than the average Gazan.”  Clay and Buck play the original clip and her subsequent apology, arguing that her first statement reveals the media’s bias toward Hamas narratives. They dismantle myths of “genocide” and “starvation” in Gaza, underscore Hamas’s use of civilians as human shields, and stress the moral clarity of Israel’s position in the conflict. The conversation pivots to major breaking news: President Donald Trump’s tweet summarizing his lengthy call with Vladimir Putin.

Clay and Buck analyze the geopolitical stakes, including Trump’s upcoming Oval Office meeting with President Zelensky, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s role in negotiations, and Hungary as a potential summit location. Listeners also enjoy lighter moments as Clay and Buck debate accents, code-switching, and why Americans historically associate British accents with intelligence. They read listener feedback on Clay’s subtle Southern drawl and share humorous anecdotes, including a talkback about baby back ribs and a Catalina Island shark attack story that segues into a discussion on swimming at night and hurricane season preparedness. The hour then shifts to U.S. politics, spotlighting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum. Clay and Buck critique Mamdani’s evasive answers on whether Hamas should disarm, comparing his rhetorical style to Abigail Spanberger’s non-answers. They warn that Mamdani’s progressive proposals—such as rent freezes and city-run grocery stores—reflect economic illiteracy that worsens housing affordability and cost-of-living crises.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful mix of political analysis, cultural commentary, and listener engagement. The hour opens with updates on President Donald Trump’s multi-hour call with Vladimir Putin, which Trump says will lead to high-level advisor meetings and a future summit in Budapest aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Clay and Buck examine Trump’s diplomatic momentum following the Gaza peace deal and discuss whether his approach could reshape global negotiations. The conversation shifts to domestic politics, spotlighting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum. Mamdani refused to credit Trump for the Gaza peace agreement, calling it “too early,” and offered vague answers on Hamas disarmament. Clay and Buck critique Mamdani’s progressive agenda—tax hikes, rent freezes, and city-run grocery stores—arguing these policies would harm New York’s economy and worsen affordability. They also highlight Mamdani’s recent apology to police for past “defund” rhetoric, framing it as political damage control. Next, the hosts dive into Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s CNN town hall comments on “toxic masculinity” and Republican success online. AOC claimed conservatives radicalize young men through “insecure masculinity,” sparking a broader discussion on gender politics. Clay and Buck argue Democrats have alienated young men by vilifying masculinity, contrasting today’s cultural climate with the meritocratic ideals of past generations.  They explore how societal shifts—from the rise of social media to the MeToo movement—have fueled resentment among men and contributed to their migration toward the GOP. Buck underscores masculinity’s role in building civilization, while Clay emphasizes the difference between equality and sameness, warning that efforts to blur gender roles have left both men and women dissatisfied. Hour 3 also features listener calls, including a mother explaining why her 21-year-old son voted for Trump after years of being told he was “evil” for being male. The discussion expands into historical context, with Clay noting that slavery existed across all civilizations and that modern narratives often distort history for political gain. Adding a lighter twist, Clay and Buck engage with a caller who completed the Catalina Island swim, sparking a humorous yet fascinating conversation about night swims, shark encounters, and ocean challenges. They debate whether Clay could handle an Alcatraz swim and share anecdotes about great white sightings near Manhattan Beach, blending serious topics with entertaining banter.

They highlight the real-world impact on military families and federal workers, with warnings that the shutdown could cost the U.S. economy up to $15 billion per day. Clay and Buck scrutinize Democratic leadership struggles, focusing on Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries’ efforts to maintain control amid fears of primary challenges from progressives like AOC. They connect the shutdown to upcoming political events, including the “No Kings” rally, and discuss how Democrats lack a clear message heading into the 2026 midterms.

The hosts explain the historical context of civil rights-era protections, the tension with the Equal Protection Clause, and why they believe the Court is poised to declare racial gerrymandering unconstitutional. They critique Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s controversial analogy comparing voting access to disability accommodations, arguing it exposes flaws in DEI-driven judicial appointments. Clay and Buck then broaden the discussion to shifting voter demographics, noting how Black and Hispanic voters are increasingly diverse in political leanings, undermining the decades-old assumption of monolithic voting blocs.

Clay argues that liberal white women are driving the woke movement, while Buck underscores Kamala’s disconnect with voters. Cultural trends take center stage as the hosts discuss record-breaking sports ratings for MLB playoffs, college football, and the NFL, framing them as signs of national unity under Trump’s presidency. They also address the sharp decline in teens identifying as transgender or non-binary, calling it a cultural turning point and criticizing gender reassignment surgeries for minors.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the latest political trends, election forecasts, and cultural flashpoints shaping America. The hour kicks off with guest Ryan Girdusky, host of It’s a Numbers Game, analyzing key battleground races in Virginia and New Jersey. Ryan breaks down polling data, prediction markets, and enthusiasm gaps, explaining why Virginia’s attorney general race could swing Republican even if Democrats hold the governorship. He also highlights New Jersey’s tightening gubernatorial contest, where GOP candidate Jack Ciattarelli faces an uphill battle despite strong independent support and a notable enthusiasm gap among Democratic voters. The conversation shifts to House and Senate control, with Ryan outlining how upcoming Supreme Court rulings on the Voting Rights Act could reshape congressional maps and make it nearly impossible for Democrats to reclaim the House. He warns that striking down Section 2 would trigger aggressive GOP redistricting across Southern states, fundamentally altering the political landscape. Next, the show pivots to New York City politics, dissecting Andrew Cuomo’s struggling mayoral campaign and why his failure to court Republican voters could cost him the race. Ryan argues Cuomo’s lackluster strategy stems from decades of unchallenged political dominance, leaving him ill-prepared for a competitive contest.  Cultural commentary takes center stage as Clay and Buck discuss Hollywood’s shifting attitudes, spotlighting Keira Knightley’s response to questions about the Harry Potter boycott over J.K. Rowling’s views on gender issues. Her dismissive laugh signals growing fatigue with woke orthodoxy, even among celebrities. The hour also features a fiery interview with Steve Hilton, Republican candidate for California governor. Hilton slams Gavin Newsom’s leadership, exposing California’s deep problems—highest poverty and unemployment rates, worst public school performance, soaring taxes, and a broken housing system. He contrasts Newsom’s rosy stump speech touting California’s size and economic clout with harsh realities like wildfire recovery failures and bureaucratic gridlock. Hilton vows to reverse far-left policies, including laws allowing biological men in women’s sports, and calls on listeners nationwide to support his campaign.

You Can't Deny Success A deep dive into President Donald Trump’s historic 36-hour diplomatic marathon and the groundbreaking Gaza peace deal. Clay and Buck open the hour by contrasting Trump’s high-energy international diplomacy with Joe Biden’s limited schedule, highlighting Trump’s whirlwind trip to Israel and Egypt, his speeches to the Knesset, meetings with world leaders, and the signing of a landmark ceasefire agreement that secured the release of all Israeli hostages and nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees. The hosts emphasize that this achievement positions Trump as a dominant figure in Middle East peace negotiations—surpassing past presidents from Carter to Obama. The discussion features reactions from unlikely sources: left-leaning media figures and celebrities such as Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Joe Scarborough, who publicly acknowledged Trump’s success. Clay and Buck play clips from CNN, MSNBC, and prominent Democrats praising Trump’s role in brokering peace, noting how even Trump’s fiercest critics are conceding victory. They explore whether this diplomatic triumph will resonate with everyday Americans or remain a major news story without shifting public opinion, particularly among Jewish voters. The conversation touches on cultural and political dynamics within the Jewish community, analyzing whether Trump’s achievement could influence voting trends. A Bet is a Bet Alyssa Farah Griffin, former Trump White House communications director turned TV personality, made a bet that she’d wear a MAGA hat if President Trump brought the hostages home. Where is that hat, Alyssa? Corruption Masterclass Legal trouble for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who faces allegations of mortgage fraud tied to a Virginia property. Clay and Buck break down the indictment details, including claims that James misrepresented the home as a second residence while allegedly housing family members rent-free—one reportedly a convicted felon. They debate her potential defense strategy, jury dynamics, and whether political bias could influence the outcome, while noting her high-powered legal team and the broader implications for accountability. Eric Trump Calls In  A high-profile conversation featuring Eric Trump, discussing his new book Under Siege: My Family’s Fight to Save Our Nation, which has surged to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list. Eric shares candid insights into the Trump family’s battle against what he calls unprecedented “lawfare,” including multiple indictments, media attacks, and efforts to silence their voices. He details the staggering cost of defending against politically motivated investigations, the Russia collusion hoax, IRS leaks, and social media censorship, framing these challenges as part of a broader fight for free speech and constitutional values.The discussion also highlights President Trump’s historic achievement in brokering Middle East peace, a diplomatic breakthrough that even mainstream media and late-night hosts acknowledged as impressive. Eric emphasizes how Trump’s business acumen and results-driven mindset—shared by figures like Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff —enabled him to succeed where career politicians failed. The segment underscores Trump’s resilience, his “superhuman” focus, and the enduring energy behind the MAGA movement, which Eric calls “the greatest political movement in American history.” 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.

They explore Harris’s political future, her name recognition, and the challenges facing female candidates in the Democratic Party. Next, the hour tackles a fiery exchange on The View between actress Cheryl Hines—wife of RFK Jr.—and co-host Sonny Hostin. The hosts critique Hostin’s credential-based attacks on RFK Jr.’s qualifications as HHS Secretary and discuss broader issues of fairness in media treatment of political spouses. Clay and Buck argue that Cheryl Hines held her own during the confrontation and highlight the hypocrisy compared to how Jill Biden and other Democratic spouses are treated. The discussion pivots to legal trouble for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who faces allegations of mortgage fraud tied to a Virginia property.

They debate her potential defense strategy, jury dynamics, and whether political bias could influence the outcome, while noting her high-powered legal team and the broader implications for accountability.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic blend of historical reflection, political analysis, and continued celebration of President Donald Trump’s landmark Middle East peace agreement. Buck Sexton leads the hour solo, diving into the cultural and geopolitical significance of the day, which he dubs both “Middle East Peace Day” and “Columbus Day.” The hour begins with a spirited defense of Columbus Day, pushing back against progressive efforts to rebrand it as Indigenous Peoples Day. Buck critiques Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2021 remarks on colonialism, arguing that conquest and conflict are universal aspects of human history—not unique to European explorers. He highlights the brutality and tribal warfare among pre-Columbian civilizations such as the Incas and Aztecs and challenges the modern narrative that vilifies European exploration while ignoring indigenous practices like slavery and cannibalism. Transitioning to current events, Buck celebrates the Trump administration’s success in brokering peace between Israel and Hamas, calling it the “dawn of a new Middle East.” He plays audio from President Trump’s speech in Egypt, where Trump declares this moment the beginning of a “golden age” for Israel and the region. Buck emphasizes that this achievement—coming in year one of Trump’s second term—is a testament to Trump’s growth, focus, and the strength of his new team. He credits Trump’s strategic leadership and deal-making skills for bringing together unlikely Arab and Muslim partners to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages and agreeing to peace. The hour features a heartfelt interview with Robin Van Etten, U.S. CEO and global COO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. She shares the emotional impact of the hostage returns, the role of faith and prayer in the process, and the fellowship’s efforts to support families through medical and psychological care. Robin praises Trump and Netanyahu for their tireless work and acknowledges the unwavering support of millions of Christians worldwide. Buck also addresses critics who question whether supporting Israel aligns with “America First” principles. He argues that regional stability benefits the U.S. by reducing global terrorism and preventing future attacks like 9/11, Madrid, and London. He contrasts Trump’s success with the failures of past Democratic administrations, particularly under Obama and Biden, and calls out the left’s misguided foreign policy elitism. Toward the end of the hour, Buck previews upcoming political races, including the Virginia gubernatorial contest, the New Jersey governor’s race, and the New York City mayoral election. A caller highlights key moments from a recent Virginia debate, expressing optimism about Republican candidate Winsome Sears. Buck promises deeper coverage in future episodes.

Drawing from his book “Men Explained Finally,” Sturges shares candid observations about how men think, communicate, and connect emotionally—often through a lens shaped since adolescence. Together, they explore why men crave praise, how emotional expression differs between genders, and the powerful role of physical attraction and self-image in modern relationships.

Analysis of President Donald Trump’s latest cabinet meeting and his bold claim of negotiating peace in eight major conflicts worldwide, including Armenia-Azerbaijan, Congo-Rwanda, Iran-Israel, India-Pakistan, Cambodia-Thailand, Serbia-Kosovo, and Ethiopia-Egypt. Clay and Buck spotlight Trump’s efforts to end the Israel-Hamas war, secure hostage releases, and pivot toward resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which remains stalled due to Vladimir Putin’s territorial ambitions and disregard for casualties. The hosts debate whether Trump’s peace initiatives could merit a Nobel Peace Prize, contrasting his tangible achievements with past awards given for far less. Buck broadcasts from Washington, DC and argues that the shutdown highlights the bloated nature of government and suggests that essential services continue to function without the non-essential workforce. Breaking news on James Comey’s trial, where the former FBI Director pleaded not guilty to federal charges of lying to Congress and obstructing proceedings. Buck critiques the hypocrisy of Democrats warning about “dangerous precedent,” pointing out years of lawfare against Donald Trump and his allies.  Buck revisits Comey’s controversial history, including the Martha Stewart prosecution and his role in targeting General Michael Flynn, framing the trial as a symbolic pushback against a two-tiered justice system—even if conviction remains unlikely.  Buck played an old clip from Rush Limbaugh in May of 2017, where he warned us about Comey and Brennan.   New York Attorney General Letitia James charged as part of a mortgage fraud investigation.

In Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Buck broadcasts live from Washington, D.C., sharing firsthand observations of the city during the ongoing government shutdown. He describes how the absence of federal workers has transformed D.C. into a “ghost town,” raising questions about the size and necessity of the federal bureaucracy. Buck argues that the shutdown highlights the bloated nature of government and suggests that essential services continue to function without the non-essential workforce. The hour dives into breaking news on James Comey’s trial, where the former FBI Director pleaded not guilty to federal charges of lying to Congress and obstructing proceedings. Buck critiques the hypocrisy of Democrats warning about “dangerous precedent,” pointing out years of lawfare against Donald Trump and his allies. He revisits Comey’s controversial history, including the Martha Stewart prosecution and his role in targeting General Michael Flynn, framing the trial as a symbolic pushback against a two-tiered justice system—even if conviction remains unlikely.  Buck played an old clip from Rush Limbaugh in May of 2017, where he warned us about Comey and Brennan.   Buck also explores crime and public safety, contrasting high-trust societies like Taiwan and Japan with the dramatic turnaround in El Salvador, which slashed its murder rate from 103 per 100,000 to just 1 per 100,000 in a decade. He argues this proves that crime reduction is possible anywhere, including U.S. cities like Chicago and Portland, if leaders adopt strong policies. This discussion ties into Donald Trump’s proposal to deploy the National Guard to Chicago, sparking debate over urban safety and political resistance. The hour touches on Katie Porter’s viral interview meltdown amid her California gubernatorial run, questioning her temperament and leadership potential. Listener talkbacks add humor and insight, from analogies about superheroes to commentary on Democrats’ fear of Trump restoring safety in major cities.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a packed discussion on politics, policy, and personality clashes dominating the headlines. Buck opens the hour with commentary on the government shutdown, noting how Washington, D.C., feels like a ghost town without bureaucrats clogging the streets—a stark reminder of federal inefficiency and bloated government. The segment pivots to California politics, spotlighting Katie Porter’s controversial interview meltdown during her gubernatorial campaign. Buck plays portions of the viral CBS exchange where Porter clashes with a reporter over questions about Trump voters, abruptly ends the interview, and accuses the journalist of being “argumentative.”  Buck critiques Porter’s temperament and dives deeper into her record, citing past allegations of abusive behavior toward her ex-husband and staff, as well as Politico reports on her toxic workplace reputation. He frames these revelations as critical for voters evaluating Porter’s bid to succeed Gavin Newsom and possibly position herself for a future presidential run. Listeners weigh in with calls analyzing Porter’s combative attitude and media dynamics, reinforcing Buck’s argument that Democrats often shield candidates from scrutiny. The conversation underscores broader themes of accountability and media bias. The hour’s centerpiece is an in-depth interview with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who breaks down the mechanics of the shutdown and the stalled negotiations in Congress. Paul explains that Democrats previously supported current spending levels but are now holding out for Obamacare subsidies, which were designed as temporary pandemic measures. He argues these subsidies primarily benefit wealthier Americans, worsen deficits, and may even extend benefits to illegal immigrants—despite laws prohibiting such allocations. Paul warns that both parties are complicit in reckless spending, projecting U.S. debt to hit $40 trillion, and calls for structural reforms like his Penny Plan to balance the budget within five years. The discussion expands to foreign aid cuts, entitlement reform, and the political calculus behind shutdown strategies. Paul predicts Democrats will cave after a weekend of left-wing pressure but cautions that bipartisan overspending remains unchecked. He also proposes a market-driven solution to rising healthcare costs: allowing consumers to join large buying groups like Costco for collective bargaining on insurance—a move he says could dramatically lower premiums. Additional listener calls tackle healthcare policy, insurance group dynamics, and the feasibility of cost-sharing models in the digital age, adding practical perspectives to the policy debate.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into explosive revelations about the weaponization of federal agencies, urban crime crises, and the Trump administration’s aggressive push to restore law and order. Buck opens the hour with an exclusive conversation with Senator Ron Johnson, who reacts to shocking news that Republican senators’ cell phone data was secretly scooped up during Jack Smith’s January 6th investigation. Johnson calls it an “outrageous violation of separation of powers,” warning that partisan operatives burrowed inside agencies and continue to sabotage reforms. He urges whistleblowers to come forward and stresses that exposure is the first step toward accountability. The discussion turns to legislative gridlock and the government shutdown, with Johnson blasting Democrats for holding out on Obamacare subsidies and predicting they will cave under pressure. He highlights the failure of the appropriations process and warns that weak-kneed Republicans could undermine conservative principles if they agree to extend pandemic-era subsidies, which he says have fueled “tens of billions in fraud.” Johnson also weighs in on the upcoming James Comey trial, calling Comey and his cohort “a cast of criminals” whose actions inflicted more damage on U.S. democracy than foreign adversaries ever could. Buck then shifts focus to crime and public safety, spotlighting Chicago’s staggering 110,000 gang members and 1,200 shootings this year alone. He slams Mayor Brandon Johnson for opposing Trump’s plan to deploy the National Guard and mocks the mayor’s rhetoric about “defending humanity” as delusional. Buck contrasts Democratic obstruction with the Trump administration’s results-driven approach, featuring FBI Director Kash Patel’s update: double-digit increases in arrests of violent offenders, fentanyl seizures, and child rescues in just eight months. Patel emphasizes that “the weaponization of law enforcement is over” and that federal agents are finally focused on crushing violent crime instead of political vendettas. The hour also covers Portland’s lawlessness, where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem threatens to flood the city with federal officers after the mayor refuses to back security measures. Buck argues that Democrats consistently side with criminals over victims, citing examples from property crime policies in San Francisco to leniency for repeat violent offenders. He frames Trump’s crackdown as a defining contrast between the left’s permissiveness and the right’s commitment to law enforcement and public safety. Listener talkbacks close the hour with fiery calls demanding accountability for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the mainstream media, while Buck reiterates that statutes of limitations limit prosecutions but insists the Comey case signals the start of a broader reckoning.

Delicious Irony Clay and Buck dive into the federal indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James on mortgage fraud charges, a stunning development given her high-profile role in pursuing former President Donald Trump.  The hosts break down the legal implications, the irony of James facing the same type of charges she once weaponized, and whether she can ethically remain in office while under felony indictment. They also explore the political fallout, media reactions—including CNN’s controversial “everybody commits mortgage fraud” comment—and the likelihood of disbarment or removal from office. The discussion expands to legal ethics, prosecutorial overreach, and the double standard in law enforcement, with comparisons to past cases like James Comey and Rudy Giuliani. Clay and Buck emphasize the principle that no one is above the law, especially those enforcing it. AG Jason Miyares  An interview with Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, who calls Democratic candidate for Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones’ comments “astonishing” and “disqualifying.”  Jones faces backlash for vile text messages advocating violence, including wishing death on the children of political opponents and fantasizing about shooting a Republican leader.

Miyares details the ethical and moral crisis this represents, emphasizing that the election is now about “right versus wrong.” He also outlines his record on reducing violent crime, combating fentanyl trafficking, and achieving the nation’s largest drop in addiction deaths, crediting partnerships with law enforcement and targeted action against repeat violent offenders. Why We're Anti-Cancel Culture The latest on the ongoing government shutdown, as Speaker Mike Johnson accuses Democrats of prioritizing political theatrics over reopening the government. Clay and Buck analyze why Democrats are facing growing public backlash and how internal party pressures from the far-left are driving the stalemate. The conversation shifts to Antifa and left-wing extremism, sparked by a White House statement labeling Antifa a domestic terrorist organization and Jimmy Kimmel’s viral claim that “Antifa doesn’t exist.” Clay and Buck dismantle that narrative, citing historical examples of Antifa violence and highlighting media hypocrisy in downplaying left-wing political violence, including the shocking case of a man caught with 200 explosive devices allegedly targeting Supreme Court justices.

Clay and Buck dissect Abigail Spanberger’s evasive answers on hot-button issues like transgender athletes in girls’ sports and bathroom policies, highlighting her repeated refusal to give a clear yes-or-no response. The hosts argue this reflects the broader Democratic strategy of masking progressive positions until after elections. The conversation intensifies with the Jay Jones controversy, where the Democratic candidate for Virginia Attorney General faces backlash for vile text messages advocating violence, including wishing death on the children of political opponents and fantasizing about shooting a Republican leader.

A Win for Peace A historic Middle East peace agreement brokered by President Donald Trump. The hosts analyze Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which includes the imminent release of hostages held since the October 7, 2023 terror attacks.  According to Trump, approximately 20 hostages are still alive, and their return is expected Monday, alongside the remains of others who perished in captivity. Clay and Buck emphasize the monumental nature of this deal, calling it one of the most transformative peace efforts in modern history. The discussion explores Trump’s unique ability to negotiate across traditional divides, earning praise even from critics like Washington Post columnist David Ignatius. The hosts highlight Trump’s plan to address the Israeli Knesset, the formation of a “Council of Peace” to oversee Gaza’s rebuilding, and the broader implications for global diplomacy, including potential progress in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. They also tackle the controversy surrounding Trump’s possible Nobel Peace Prize candidacy, arguing that motivations matter less than results when world peace is at stake. President Peacemaker Analysis of President Donald Trump’s latest cabinet meeting and his bold claim of negotiating peace in eight major conflicts worldwide, including Armenia-Azerbaijan, Congo-Rwanda, Iran-Israel, India-Pakistan, Cambodia-Thailand, Serbia-Kosovo, and Ethiopia-Egypt. Clay and Buck spotlight Trump’s efforts to end the Israel-Hamas war, secure hostage releases, and pivot toward resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which remains stalled due to Vladimir Putin’s territorial ambitions and disregard for casualties. The hosts debate whether Trump’s peace initiatives could merit a Nobel Peace Prize, contrasting his tangible achievements with past awards given for far less. Rush and Buck  The conversation pivots to the transformative impact of Elon Musk’s ownership of X (formerly Twitter) on American political discourse. Clay and Buck highlight data showing a dramatic shift in platform demographics—from a 37-point Democrat advantage in 2021 to a 14-point Republican edge today—underscoring how X has become a critical battleground for free speech. They contrast Musk’s principled stance with the opportunistic behavior of other tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, warning that platforms such as Facebook and TikTok remain vulnerable to political influence. The hosts also revisit Rush Limbaugh’s prescient call for conservative billionaires to invest in media platforms, noting Musk’s acquisition of Twitter as a game-changing move. They explore the future of AI-driven algorithms, predicting ideological divides between “woke AI” and Musk’s free-speech-oriented models. Sen. Tommy Tuberville Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville joins the show to discuss GOP strategy during the shutdown, the importance of protecting farmers and military funding, and his reaction to Trump’s Middle East breakthrough. Tuberville also weighs in on rumors that sports media personality Paul Finebaum may run for Senate in Alabama, emphasizing the need for conservative credentials and grassroots campaigning. The senator shares candid thoughts on ESPN’s leftward shift, political polarization, and his own experience being targeted by federal agencies.

Clay and Buck examine the cognitive dissonance among Trump’s detractors, particularly those who previously labeled him as a threat to global stability. They underscore Trump’s pragmatic approach—focused on commerce and results rather than ideology—which has enabled him to gain trust from both Israel and key Arab nations. The conversation also addresses enforcement challenges, the role of Arab states in Gaza governance, and the weakening of Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah following recent U.S. and Israeli actions. Hour 1 closes with lighter moments, including humorous banter about shopping mishaps and culinary adventures, but the dominant theme remains clear: this is a pivotal moment for peace in the Middle East, with Trump at the center of negotiations that could reshape global geopolitics.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with breaking political news: a new Quinnipiac poll in the New York City mayoral race shows Zohran Mamdani leading with 46%, followed by Andrew Cuomo at 33% and Curtis Sliwa at 15%. The hosts analyze how Mamdani’s strong position could shape the race and preview other key contests, including the Virginia Attorney General race and the upcoming elections in New Jersey. The conversation pivots to the transformative impact of Elon Musk’s ownership of X (formerly Twitter) on American political discourse. Clay and Buck highlight data showing a dramatic shift in platform demographics—from a 37-point Democrat advantage in 2021 to a 14-point Republican edge today—underscoring how X has become a critical battleground for free speech. They contrast Musk’s principled stance with the opportunistic behavior of other tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, warning that platforms such as Facebook and TikTok remain vulnerable to political influence. The hosts also revisit Rush Limbaugh’s prescient call for conservative billionaires to invest in media platforms, noting Musk’s acquisition of Twitter as a game-changing move. They explore the future of AI-driven algorithms, predicting ideological divides between “woke AI” and Musk’s free-speech-oriented models. From tech to culture, the hour examines California politics, focusing on Rep. Katie Porter’s controversial bid for governor. Clay and Buck dissect Porter’s viral CBS interview, where she clashed with a reporter over Trump voters and displayed what they describe as a bullying, unlikable demeanor. They also discuss past allegations and staff complaints, framing Porter as emblematic of the Democratic Party’s inability to handle tough questions after years of media favoritism. The show then shifts to California wildfires, debunking climate-change narratives pushed by mainstream outlets after federal officials arrested an alleged arsonist behind the devastating Palisades fire. Clay and Buck argue that media bias obscures real issues like water shortages and firefighting failures. Hour 3 closes on a lighter note with personal anecdotes and listener engagement: Clay’s upcoming Alcatraz swim sparks a humorous debate about shark attacks, while Buck updates listeners on his quest to throw a 100 mph fastball. The hosts mix serious political analysis with trademark humor, reinforcing why their show remains a go-to source for news, culture, and entertainment.

What Comey's Around Buck broadcasts live from Washington, D.C., sharing firsthand observations of the city during the ongoing government shutdown. He describes how the absence of federal workers has transformed D.C. into a “ghost town,” raising questions about the size and necessity of the federal bureaucracy. Buck argues that the shutdown highlights the bloated nature of government and suggests that essential services continue to function without the non-essential workforce. The hour dives into breaking news on James Comey’s trial, where the former FBI Director pleaded not guilty to federal charges of lying to Congress and obstructing proceedings. Buck critiques the hypocrisy of Democrats warning about “dangerous precedent,” pointing out years of lawfare against Donald Trump and his allies.  Rush Warned Us Buck revisits Comey’s controversial history, including the Martha Stewart prosecution and his role in targeting General Michael Flynn, framing the trial as a symbolic pushback against a two-tiered justice system—even if conviction remains unlikely.  Buck played an old clip from Rush Limbaugh in May of 2017, where he warned us about Comey and Brennan.   Nasty, Nasty California politics, spotlighting Katie Porter’s controversial interview meltdown during her gubernatorial campaign. Buck plays portions of the viral CBS exchange where Porter clashes with a reporter over questions about Trump voters, abruptly ends the interview, and accuses the journalist of being “argumentative.”  Buck critiques Porter’s temperament and dives deeper into her record, citing past allegations of abusive behavior toward her ex-husband and staff, as well as Politico reports on her toxic workplace reputation. He frames these revelations as critical for voters evaluating Porter’s bid to succeed Gavin Newsom and possibly position herself for a future presidential run. Welfare and Warfare An in-depth interview with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who breaks down the mechanics of the shutdown and the stalled negotiations in Congress. Paul explains that Democrats previously supported current spending levels but are now holding out for Obamacare subsidies, which were designed as temporary pandemic measures.  He argues these subsidies primarily benefit wealthier Americans, worsen deficits, and may even extend benefits to illegal immigrants—despite laws prohibiting such allocations. Paul warns that both parties are complicit in reckless spending, projecting U.S. debt to hit $40 trillion, and calls for structural reforms like his Penny Plan to balance the budget within five years. The discussion expands to foreign aid cuts, entitlement reform, and the political calculus behind shutdown strategies. Paul predicts Democrats will cave after a weekend of left-wing pressure but cautions that bipartisan overspending remains unchecked. He also proposes a market-driven solution to rising healthcare costs: allowing consumers to join large buying groups like Costco for collective bargaining on insurance—a move he says could dramatically lower premiums.

He argues this proves that crime reduction is possible anywhere, including U.S. cities like Chicago and Portland, if leaders adopt strong policies. This discussion ties into Donald Trump’s proposal to deploy the National Guard to Chicago, sparking debate over urban safety and political resistance. The hour touches on Katie Porter’s viral interview meltdown amid her California gubernatorial run, questioning her temperament and leadership potential.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a packed discussion on politics, policy, and personality clashes dominating the headlines. Buck opens the hour with commentary on the government shutdown, noting how Washington, D.C., feels like a ghost town without bureaucrats clogging the streets—a stark reminder of federal inefficiency and bloated government. The segment pivots to California politics, spotlighting Katie Porter’s controversial interview meltdown during her gubernatorial campaign. Buck plays portions of the viral CBS exchange where Porter clashes with a reporter over questions about Trump voters, abruptly ends the interview, and accuses the journalist of being “argumentative.”  Buck critiques Porter’s temperament and dives deeper into her record, citing past allegations of abusive behavior toward her ex-husband and staff, as well as Politico reports on her toxic workplace reputation. He frames these revelations as critical for voters evaluating Porter’s bid to succeed Gavin Newsom and possibly position herself for a future presidential run. Listeners weigh in with calls analyzing Porter’s combative attitude and media dynamics, reinforcing Buck’s argument that Democrats often shield candidates from scrutiny. The conversation underscores broader themes of accountability and media bias. The hour’s centerpiece is an in-depth interview with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who breaks down the mechanics of the shutdown and the stalled negotiations in Congress. Paul explains that Democrats previously supported current spending levels but are now holding out for Obamacare subsidies, which were designed as temporary pandemic measures.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into explosive revelations about the weaponization of federal agencies, urban crime crises, and the Trump administration’s aggressive push to restore law and order. Buck opens the hour with an exclusive conversation with Senator Ron Johnson, who reacts to shocking news that Republican senators’ cell phone data was secretly scooped up during Jack Smith’s January 6th investigation. Johnson calls it an “outrageous violation of separation of powers,” warning that partisan operatives burrowed inside agencies and continue to sabotage reforms. He urges whistleblowers to come forward and stresses that exposure is the first step toward accountability. The discussion turns to legislative gridlock and the government shutdown, with Johnson blasting Democrats for holding out on Obamacare subsidies and predicting they will cave under pressure. He highlights the failure of the appropriations process and warns that weak-kneed Republicans could undermine conservative principles if they agree to extend pandemic-era subsidies, which he says have fueled “tens of billions in fraud.” Johnson also weighs in on the upcoming James Comey trial, calling Comey and his cohort “a cast of criminals” whose actions inflicted more damage on U.S. democracy than foreign adversaries ever could. Buck then shifts focus to crime and public safety, spotlighting Chicago’s staggering 110,000 gang members and 1,200 shootings this year alone. He slams Mayor Brandon Johnson for opposing Trump’s plan to deploy the National Guard and mocks the mayor’s rhetoric about “defending humanity” as delusional. Buck contrasts Democratic obstruction with the Trump administration’s results-driven approach, featuring FBI Director Kash Patel’s update: double-digit increases in arrests of violent offenders, fentanyl seizures, and child rescues in just eight months. Patel emphasizes that “the weaponization of law enforcement is over” and that federal agents are finally focused on crushing violent crime instead of political vendettas. The hour also covers Portland’s lawlessness, where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem threatens to flood the city with federal officers after the mayor refuses to back security measures. Buck argues that Democrats consistently side with criminals over victims, citing examples from property crime policies in San Francisco to leniency for repeat violent offenders. He frames Trump’s crackdown as a defining contrast between the left’s permissiveness and the right’s commitment to law enforcement and public safety. Listener talkbacks close the hour with fiery calls demanding accountability for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the mainstream media, while Buck reiterates that statutes of limitations limit prosecutions but insists the Comey case signals the start of a broader reckoning.

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the biggest political and law enforcement controversies dominating the headlines. Broadcasting live from Washington, D.C., Buck Sexton covers the latest developments in the Trump administration’s showdown with Democrat-run cities, focusing on Chicago and Portland.  The discussion kicks off with explosive revelations about FBI surveillance of Republican Senators, including Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, and Ron Johnson, as part of the controversial “Arctic Frost” operation. Buck highlights Attorney General Pam Bondi’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, exposing the weaponization of the FBI and DOJ and the urgent need for reform under Director Patel. The hour also examines the government shutdown, which Buck notes feels surprisingly uneventful in the nation’s capital, and reflects on the two-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, setting the stage for later segments with Karol Markowitz. A major portion of the conversation zeroes in on Chicago’s escalating crime crisis and Mayor Brandon Johnson’s radical move to create ICE-free zones through a new executive order. Buck argues this undermines federal immigration enforcement and fuels lawlessness. The show also covers the deployment of National Guard units to Chicago and Portland, sparking heated exchanges between Bondi and Senator Dick Durbin, and a fiery debate between White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and CNN’s Kaitlan Collins over Trump’s constitutional authority to mobilize troops under U.S. Code 12406. Buck contextualizes these battles within the broader resistance to Trump’s presidency, criticizing activist judges and Democrat rhetoric that portrays Trump as illegitimate. He warns that sanctuary city policies and inflammatory language against law enforcement endanger ICE officers and embolden anarchists, citing Portland’s months-long unrest and attacks on federal facilities. Hour 1 delivers sharp analysis on law enforcement integrity, immigration enforcement, federal authority, and political accountability, while previewing upcoming segments on Trump’s Oval Office remarks and reflections on Middle East peace efforts. Don’t miss this hour for in-depth commentary on the FBI scandal, Chicago’s ICE-free zones, Portland unrest, and the fight to restore law and order under President Trump.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers sharp political analysis and breaking commentary on the Democrat Party’s leadership crisis, the FBI surveillance scandal, and explosive revelations from Virginia’s Attorney General race.  Buck Sexton opens the hour by recapping President Trump’s Oval Office remarks, where Trump blasts Democrats for having “no leadership and no policy,” calling out figures like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Buck underscores Trump’s point, arguing that Democrats lack a clear leader for the first time in decades, with contenders like Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker jockeying for influence while the party drifts toward radicalism. The conversation pivots to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s fiery criticism of Trump’s deployment of National Guard and ICE agents to Chicago, framing it as an “illegal militarization” rather than addressing rampant crime and lawlessness. Buck dismantles this narrative, highlighting Democrat hypocrisy on immigration enforcement and public safety. He also explores the broader strategy of Democrats in purple states, spotlighting Abigail Spanberger’s low-profile campaign tactics and the party’s reliance on “boring” candidates to mask extreme positions on abortion, DEI, and transgender policies. Listeners then weigh in on the FBI’s weaponization scandal, with Buck explaining how administrative subpoena power enabled baseless surveillance of Republican senators, echoing abuses seen in Crossfire Hurricane. He warns that these actions reveal deep corruption within federal law enforcement and reinforce the need for reform under Director Patel. In a bombshell segment, Buck exposes Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones’ shocking text messages, where Jones fantasized about Republicans and their children dying and vowed to desecrate graves. Buck calls this behavior “outrageous and dangerous,” arguing it reflects a disturbing cultural divide where Democrats normalize violent rhetoric against conservatives. He predicts Jones will remain in the race because Democrats tacitly approve of such hostility, raising alarms about fairness and integrity in law enforcement. Hour 2 also features practical advice for handling political confrontations during family gatherings, emphasizing calm disengagement over heated arguments. Buck closes by previewing upcoming discussions on the two-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, setting the stage for insights from Karol Markowitz.

Buck reinforces the historical context of violent indoctrination in Gaza and calls for moral clarity in U.S. foreign policy. Later in the hour, Buck critiques The View’s inflammatory rhetoric, mocking claims that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard is a “pretext to steal the next election.” He exposes the absurdity of liberal media narratives and the disconnect between progressive commentary and reality, branding the show as a “factory of delusion.” In a compelling second half, Buck welcomes Leland Vittert, NewsNation host and author of Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, a Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism. Leland shares his deeply personal story of overcoming severe autism through his father’s relentless commitment to adaptation and resilience.  The discussion explores the flaws in expert-driven approaches that encourage meeting children “where they are” instead of pushing them to thrive. Leland details practical strategies his father used—like instilling discipline, teaching social skills, and building character—that transformed his life. Buck relates with his own childhood struggle with a speech impediment, reinforcing the theme that parental involvement and perseverance can change destinies. The segment also tackles the surge in autism diagnoses, with Leland calling it “the scientific question of our time” and criticizing partisan attacks on efforts to find answers. His book offers hope and actionable guidance for parents navigating challenges from autism to ADHD and beyond. Hour 3 closes with listener talkbacks praising Trump’s authenticity and work ethic, contrasting him with elitist politicians who feign blue-collar appeal. Buck emphasizes Trump’s genuine respect for working-class Americans and his unmatched ability to dominate the political narrative.

In this bonus episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, hosts Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss:  The “Schumer Shutdown” We begin with the ongoing government shutdown as the fault of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Party. They claim Democrats are panicking and have no political “off-ramp,” predicting that the standoff will end with “complete capitulation” from Democrats. The conversation includes discussion of polling data (allegedly showing poor favorability ratings for Democrats), arguments that Democrats are “weak” and “extreme,” and mockery of Democratic leaders through AI-generated memes that portray them wearing sombreros and mustaches. Cruz and Ferguson frame the situation as a political win for Republicans, portraying Democrats as incoherent and divided, and suggesting that the shutdown reveals the public’s indifference to big government. 2. The Brett Kavanaugh Assassination Attempt and Sentencing The second segment focuses on a federal judge’s sentencing of Nicholas Roske, who had plotted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Cruz and Ferguson express outrage over what they claim was an unjustly lenient eight-year sentence, arguing that it reflects “left-wing bias” and preferential treatment because the assailant was transgender. They sharply criticize Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, for what they call “ideological” leniency, with Cruz suggesting she should be impeached. The hosts expand the issue into a broader critique of Democratic “soft-on-crime” policies and claim a cultural double standard favoring certain identities (e.g., transgender individuals). The conversation also ties the Kavanaugh incident to Democratic rhetoric, suggesting it encourages “left-wing violence.” Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Buck is Back! Buck returns from an eye-opening trip to Taiwan, sharing firsthand insights into the escalating tensions with China, the looming threat of invasion, and the critical role of TSMC in global semiconductor supply chains. He previews an exclusive interview with Taiwan’s president, President Lai Ching-te, airing later in the program and underscores why U.S. policy in the region matters for national security and the global economy. Back on the home front, the hour dives deep into the government shutdown and its political implications, followed by a fiery discussion on the immigration enforcement battle. Buck breaks down President Trump’s deployment of Federal Protection Missions and National Guard units to cities like Portland and Chicago, where local and state Democratic leaders are resisting federal immigration law enforcement. He argues that Democrats are enabling lawlessness by refusing to cooperate with ICE and federal authorities, framing this as a fight for the rule of law versus open borders. Crime is a Choice Buck zeroes in on the escalating crime crisis in Chicago, contrasting the city’s staggering murder rates with the safety and social trust he observed during his recent trip to Taiwan. He highlights shocking statistics—Chicago averaged around 600 murders annually, compared to just 200 in all of Taiwan, a nation of 23 million people. Buck shares vivid anecdotes from Taipei, where families stroll in parks at night and residents leave smartphones unattended in cafes, illustrating what a high-trust, low-crime society looks like versus the lawlessness plaguing U.S. cities under Democratic leadership. The discussion then pivots to Mayor Brandon Johnson’s attacks on President Trump, accusing him of waging a “war on poor people” over immigration enforcement and crime reduction efforts. Buck dismantles these claims, arguing that Trump’s deployment of federal resources and National Guard units aims to protect vulnerable communities from gang violence and fentanyl-fueled chaos. He frames the debate as a battle between law and order versus progressive incompetence, calling out Democratic leaders like Johnson and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker for perpetuating urban decay. Paying for Illegals Buck covers the government shutdown standoff, featuring live remarks from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and commentary from Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz blasts Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for what he calls a “temper tantrum” driven by fear of a primary challenge from AOC. Buck underscores that Democrats are demanding additional spending for programs like Obamacare subsidies, sparking a broader conversation on the failures of the Affordable Care Act. He argues Obamacare has led to skyrocketing premiums, reduced coverage, and ballooning Medicaid costs, while Democrats quietly push healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants—despite public denials from figures like Elizabeth Warren. Speaker Mike Johnson Speaker of the House Mike Johnson joining the program to break down the latest on what Buck calls the “Schumer Shutdown.”  Speaker Johnson explains that Republicans offered a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open, but Democrats blocked it to create a political fight over healthcare. He accuses Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of prioritizing his own political survival over the American people, citing fears of a primary challenge from the far left.  Johnson details how Democrats are pushing to restore taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants, reversing GOP reforms that saved nearly $200 billion by ending Medicaid loopholes, emergency care expansions, and Obamacare subsidies for non-citizens. He warns that the shutdown is causing real pain for Americans, including halted nutrition programs and unpaid federal workers, while Democrats refuse to compromise.

He argues that Democrats are enabling lawlessness by refusing to cooperate with ICE and federal authorities, framing this as a fight for the rule of law versus open borders. The conversation highlights Portland’s ongoing unrest, with over 100 nights of violent protests targeting ICE facilities, Antifa-driven chaos, and local officials allegedly obstructing federal efforts. Buck contrasts this with the Biden administration’s prolonged National Guard presence in D.C. after January 6, calling out what he sees as hypocrisy. Listener emails and calls from Oregon confirm the severity of the situation, while Buck critiques Democratic leaders like Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for downplaying crime and opposing federal intervention. The hour also touches on Democratic Party dynamics, including speculation about Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and Pritzker’s ambitions for 2028, plus Buck’s humorous take on reading Kamala’s book during his Taiwan flights. The segment closes with commentary on the Comey indictment, Chicago crime rates compared to Taipei, and why Trump’s immigration crackdown remains a cornerstone of his agenda.

In Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Buck delivers a packed segment featuring two major stories: the ongoing government shutdown battle and his exclusive interview with the President of Taiwan on global security and economic resilience.The hour begins with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson joining the program to break down the latest on what Buck calls the “Schumer Shutdown.”  Johnson explains that Republicans offered a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open, but Democrats blocked it to create a political fight over healthcare. He accuses Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of prioritizing his own political survival over the American people, citing fears of a primary challenge from the far left. Johnson details how Democrats are pushing to restore taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants, reversing GOP reforms that saved nearly $200 billion by ending Medicaid loopholes, emergency care expansions, and Obamacare subsidies for non-citizens. He warns that the shutdown is causing real pain for Americans, including halted nutrition programs and unpaid federal workers, while Democrats refuse to compromise. The second half of the hour shifts to Buck’s exclusive interview with Taiwan’s President, offering rare insights into the escalating tensions with China. The president emphasizes that Taiwan is not part of the PRC and condemns Beijing’s aggressive military drills in the Taiwan Strait. He outlines Taiwan’s Four Pillars of Peace Action Plan, which includes boosting defense spending to 3.32% of GDP next year and 5% by 2030, strengthening economic resilience by reducing reliance on China, and deepening partnerships with the U.S. and other democracies to deter aggression.  The conversation highlights Taiwan’s critical role in the global semiconductor supply chain, with TSMC producing 90% of the world’s advanced chips, and its commitment to supporting America’s leadership in AI technology. The president also discusses social policies aimed at reversing declining birth rates through housing subsidies, fertility treatments, and tax cuts—drawing parallels to similar debates in the U.S. Buck underscores why Americans should care: a Chinese invasion of Taiwan could cripple global trade, crash markets, and give Beijing dominance over chip manufacturing, impacting everything from smartphones to AI-driven defense systems. The hour closes with a strong message on the importance of U.S.-Taiwan cooperation to maintain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific.

Another government shutdown is being met by yawns, because we all know they’ll open it up eventually. Clay takes a deep dive into a very real issue that caused this shutdown: A fundamentally broken healthcare system. Clay also breaks down the controversy over illegal immigrants receiving healthcare benefits in the Democrats’ continuing resolution. While Democrats claim federal funds aren’t directly paying for undocumented healthcare, Clay explains how federal dollars flow to states like California, New York, and Illinois, which then allocate funds for these services. He ties this to COVID-era spending that Democrats want to make permanent, warning that these embedded costs are fueling the shutdown fight. How President Donald Trump was a turning point for the country and fueled Charlie Kirk’s ascension and saved the country. Why Clay is donating all of the proceeds from his new book “Balls: How Trump, Young Men, and Sports Saved America” to several charities, including Turning Point USA.

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis flying solo while Buck Sexton travels in Taiwan. The hour centers around the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, its historical context, and the political motivations behind it. Clay argues that shutdowns are cyclical and often overblown, citing that since 1976, the federal government has shut down 20 times. He emphasizes that the current impasse stems from Democratic efforts to extend COVID-era healthcare subsidies, which Republicans argue should expire now that the pandemic is over. A major segment of the hour is devoted to a deep critique of the American healthcare system, which Clay describes as inefficient, opaque, and anticapitalistic. He shares personal anecdotes to illustrate how insurance often leads to irrational pricing and decision-making, and how the system penalizes those who try to do the right thing. He calls for a complete overhaul of both the healthcare and tax systems, likening them to unstable buildings built on broken foundations. Clay is then joined by Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee, who passionately discusses the need to ban Congressional stock trading, citing suspiciously well-timed trades by lawmakers like Nancy Pelosi. Burchett advocates for legislation that would restrict members of Congress to mutual funds and blind trusts, arguing that insider access is being abused. He also shares his personal hobby of building and selling skateboards, humorously noting the ethical hurdles he faces compared to the lack of oversight on stock trading.The conversation shifts to political hypocrisy, particularly targeting Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for reversing his stance on shutdowns due to pressure from progressive challengers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Burchett speculates that Schumer’s actions are driven by fear of losing power, and criticizes the broader culture of entitlement and insider privilege in Washington. Toward the end of the hour, Clay and Burchett engage in a light-hearted debate comparing bad decisions—Nico transferring to UCLA versus Kamala Harris selecting Tim Walz as VP—with Burchett humorously siding against Kamala’s pick. The segment closes with listener calls, including one from West Los Angeles lamenting UCLA’s football woes and coaching instability.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political commentary, cultural analysis, and personal insight. Clay Travis opens the hour by reflecting on the viral response to his interview with Congressman Tim Burchett and a Twitter poll comparing bad decisions—Nico transferring to UCLA versus Kamala Harris choosing Tim Walz as VP. He also celebrates the show’s surging YouTube engagement, attributing the growth to algorithmic shifts and increased visibility, while warning about the broader implications of AI bias and algorithmic control over public discourse. Clay dives into the media landscape, contrasting the depth of radio and writing with the superficiality of television soundbites. He critiques the advertising industry's left-wing bias, noting the absence of major brands like car companies and restaurants from conservative platforms despite massive audience reach. This leads into a cultural discussion about American Eagle’s successful ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney, which sparked controversy but resulted in a surge in sales and customer growth. Clay defends the campaign, arguing that “sex sells” and praising American Eagle for resisting cancel culture. The hour takes a deeper turn with a provocative analysis of violent crime statistics in America, sparked by a Don Lemon clip questioning white male violence. Clay challenges racial generalizations and presents data showing that black men commit nearly half of all murders, followed by Hispanic men, white men, and Asian men. He argues that Asian-American communities have the lowest violent crime rates, attributing this to strong nuclear families and a cultural emphasis on education. Clay calls for a national conversation on how to replicate these values across all racial groups to reduce crime and improve public safety. He also shares a personal anecdote about parenting and cell phone safety, contrasting American norms with Taiwan’s low-crime culture, as observed by Buck Sexton during his travels. The hour closes with commentary on Vice President JD Vance’s remarks about the government shutdown, including viral memes targeting Hakeem Jeffries over healthcare for illegal immigrants.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful blend of political insight, cultural commentary, and grassroots activism. Clay Travis opens the hour with guest Tudor Dixon, host on the Clay and Buck Podcast Network and a prominent conservative voice in Michigan. Together, they discuss Michigan’s pivotal role as the top battleground state in upcoming elections, emphasizing the importance of supporting Senate candidate Mike Rogers and other Republican contenders to prevent radical Democrats from gaining national influence. Tudor shares her experiences traveling across Michigan, highlighting the growing conservative momentum among Gen Z students, especially at liberal campuses like Northern Michigan University. She recounts how young conservatives are standing up to leftist professors and embracing traditional American values, including faith, family, and patriotism. The conversation also touches on the cultural impact of the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad campaign, which Tudor praises for promoting femininity and resonating with her daughters and other young women. Clay and Tudor explore the broader cultural shift among young men and women toward faith-based education, Christian values, and balanced gender roles in relationships. They argue that this cultural realignment is key to reversing progressive narratives and restoring common sense in American society. The hour also features commentary on the government shutdown, with Vice President JD Vance humorously addressing viral sombrero memes mocking House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for prioritizing healthcare for illegal immigrants. Clay explains how Democrats are attempting to convert temporary COVID-era spending into permanent entitlements, framing any rollback as a deadly “cut.”Clay plays a clip from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who blames Democrats for the shutdown and urges support for President Trump’s efforts to reopen the government. He also shares a heartfelt talkback message from a listener in Utah who attended a Turning Point USA event, underscoring the emotional and patriotic energy surrounding Charlie Kirk’s legacy. In a compelling segment, Clay critiques MSNBC’s hypocrisy for attacking Trump’s mental fitness while ignoring President Biden’s cognitive decline. He contrasts Trump’s transparency and stamina with Biden’s limited public appearances, calling out the media’s double standards. Clay plays a clip from his interview with Paul Finebaum, who shares his personal political evolution from liberal roots to conservative values. The discussion highlights how many Americans are waking up to the radical shift in the Democratic Party and reconsidering their political affiliations. The hour ends with a call from a college professor defending conservative educators and urging parents to be proactive in the college selection process, followed by Clay’s reflection on the importance of culture in shaping politics, especially through sports and entertainment.

Congressional stock trading and the two sets of rules that hurt average Americans. Former New Jersey General Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli discusses his race for governor and points out the shady dealings of his liberal Democrat opponent, Rep.

MABA: Make American Babies Again Clay highlights the booming stock market, with the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 hitting record highs under President Trump’s economic policies, contrasting this success with prior predictions of economic collapse.  The discussion shifts to crime reduction efforts in Memphis, where the Trump administration has partnered with local leaders to combat one of the nation’s highest murder rates—a story largely ignored by mainstream media. Clay also previews an upcoming interview with journalist Nick Sorter, who was arrested in Portland while covering Antifa protests outside an ICE facility, sparking a federal investigation. A major theme of the hour is cultural and demographic trends, including a striking statistic: 60.5% of babies born in 2025 so far are in Trump-voting states. Clay argues this reflects optimism and family values in conservative America, contrasting it with what he calls the Democratic Party’s “dark, nihilistic” messaging that discourages having children. He warns that this worldview fuels political violence and long-term electoral challenges for Democrats as population growth accelerates in red states. Mamdani's Rose is Wilted The conversation then pivots to the economy, where Clay underscores strong GDP growth at 3.8% and low inflation under Trump, while acknowledging lingering frustration from Biden-era price hikes. He critiques socialist economic proposals, spotlighting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s plan for city-run grocery stores, calling it “Cuban-style madness.” Clay dissects Mamdani’s savvy cultural strategy, including a viral Bachelor-themed campaign ad that resonates with young voters, warning conservatives not to underestimate the power of pop culture in politics. Nick Sortor Calls In an exclusive interview with journalist Nick Sorter, who recounts his shocking arrest in Portland during violent Antifa-led protests outside an ICE facility. Sorter describes being assaulted while documenting the chaos, saving a burning American flag, and then being charged with disorderly conduct despite Antifa’s ongoing lawlessness. He reveals that Attorney General Pam Bondi personally called him, announcing a Department of Justice civil rights investigation into the Portland Police Bureau. Clay and Nick expose how Portland’s leadership and police culture have allowed five years of unchecked riots, fueling public demand for federal intervention and National Guard deployment. The conversation escalates as White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addresses Sorter’s arrest live from the podium, condemning Portland’s failure to protect journalists and pledging to review federal aid to states that “allow anarchy.” Clay underscores how this crisis reflects a broader collapse of law and order in Democrat-run cities, warning that Portland’s inability to restore safety has even cost it opportunities like a Major League Baseball franchise—an example of how urban decay impacts economic growth and corporate investment. Make Michigan Competitive Again  Michigan politics with State Senator Aric Nesbitt, a Hillsdale College graduate and GOP candidate for governor. Nesbitt outlines why Michigan is a critical battleground for 2026 and 2028, citing Trump’s recent victory and growing Republican momentum. He blasts Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s COVID lockdowns, sharing a deeply personal story of being barred from comforting his wife during a miscarriage due to pandemic restrictions. Nesbitt vows to reverse Whitmer’s policies, restore parental rights, and fight progressive agendas like men competing in women’s sports and pronoun enforcement in schools. He frames Michigan as the “front line” in the battle to protect families, small businesses, and traditional values, pledging to make Michigan competitive again for jobs and education.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show wraps up the week with a hard-hitting discussion on crime, politics, media trust, and cultural battles shaping America’s future. Clay opens the hour reflecting on family, fall break, and the importance of spending time with kids before diving into a major theme: the failure of progressive policies on law and order. He highlights shocking examples, including a Manchester, England terror attack committed by a man out on bail for rape, and a Seattle mayoral debate where the current mayor admitted he has “no desire to put criminals in jail,” even after multiple offenses. Clay argues that “toxic empathy” and soft-on-crime policies in cities like Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco have fueled chaos and eroded public safety. The conversation shifts to demographic and cultural trends, citing data that 60.5% of babies born in 2025 are in Trump-voting states, underscoring optimism and family values in conservative America versus the left’s “apocalyptic” climate narrative that discourages having children. Clay frames this as a battle of good versus evil, stressing that optimism and strong families are essential to preserving freedom. Clay then takes aim at media hypocrisy and political dishonesty, playing clips of Rep. Madeline Dean praising Joe Biden as “terrific” after his disastrous 2024 debate performance, only to later claim Donald Trump is in “cognitive decline.” He uses this to illustrate why Gallup reports trust in media has plunged to an all-time low of 28%, urging listeners to value truth over partisan spin. The hour also touches on global security and Middle East tensions as the second anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attack approaches, with Clay reaffirming support for Israel and criticizing Hamas for rejecting peace plans. He then pivots to cultural influence and political strategy, previewing his upcoming book Balls, which argues conservatives must engage younger generations and fight cultural battles where they happen—on college campuses, in pop culture, and beyond. Clay emphasizes that winning hearts and minds requires bold messaging and outreach, not just “preaching to the choir.” Listener calls add perspective on Portland’s decline, the need for federal intervention, and the broader cultural decay in left-run cities. Clay closes by sharing personal stories, discussing his media bans from CNN and ESPN, and reaffirming his mission to take arguments everywhere—from radio to TV to bookstores—to shape America’s future.

In this explosive episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson break down the latest U.S. government shutdown, which officially began at 12:01 AM. Cruz asserts that the shutdown was orchestrated by Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, as a political maneuver driven by pressure from the party’s far-left base, including figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). Cause of Shutdown: Shutdown occurred after Congress failed to pass funding past September 30. Cruz argues Democrats deliberately blocked a CR to appease their progressive base. Senate Dynamics: A CR passed the House but failed in the Senate, receiving 55 votes instead of the required 60. Three Democrats (Fetterman, Cortez Masto, Angus King) voted with Republicans to keep government open. Partisan Framing: Democrats are motivated by hatred of Trump and internal party pressures. Schumer is depicted as fearing a primary challenge from AOC and pandering to the left wing. Policy Disputes: Republicans claim Democrats demanded benefits such as free healthcare for undocumented immigrants and removal of work requirements for welfare. The conversation suggests these were “unrealistic demands” meant only as political theater. Impact of Shutdown: Essential services (military, law enforcement, FAA) continue, but workers go unpaid temporarily. Nonessential services like national parks and Smithsonian museums shut down. Political Messaging: Cruz and the host argue this is the “Schumer shutdown,” not a bipartisan failure. They highlight Democrat statements from past years criticizing shutdown tactics, suggesting hypocrisy. WATCH WH Hakeem Jeffries VIDEO HERE Strategic Angle: The Trump administration is said to plan permanent layoffs (“reduction in force”) of federal bureaucrats during the shutdown, targeting those seen as left-leaning. This is framed as a strategic opportunity to reshape the federal workforce. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Who Do You Trust? Clay Travis outlines a Gallup poll that reveals trust in the media has plummeted to a record low of just 28%, compared to over 70% in 1980. Clay explores why Americans no longer trust legacy media, citing misinformation during COVID-19 and the Russia collusion narrative. He challenges listeners to share which media figures they still trust, emphasizing the difference between agreeing with someone’s opinion and trusting their factual accuracy. Make it Make Sense Clay also breaks down the controversy over illegal immigrants receiving healthcare benefits in the Democrats’ continuing resolution. While Democrats claim federal funds aren’t directly paying for undocumented healthcare, Clay explains how federal dollars flow to states like California, New York, and Illinois, which then allocate funds for these services. He ties this to COVID-era spending that Democrats want to make permanent, warning that these embedded costs are fueling the shutdown fight. Practicing Gratitude Clay continues the conversation on the collapse of trust in media, sparked by a Gallup poll showing confidence at historic lows. Clay shares listener reactions and humorously calls out fellow radio host Jesse Kelly for ordering $75 tequila shots, tying it into a broader discussion about gratitude and humility in media. Clay argues that many in mainstream media lack appreciation for their privileged positions, contrasting that with his own daily practice of gratitude and the conservative ethos of thankfulness for living in America. The American Dream An in-depth interview with Congressman John James, who is running for governor of Michigan. James responds to Al Sharpton’s false claim that Michigan lacks Black congressional representation, calling out identity politics and emphasizing policy over race. He outlines why Michigan will be the epicenter of U.S. politics in 2026 and 2028, citing open gubernatorial and Senate seats, competitive House races, and the state’s pivotal role in presidential elections. James stresses the need for strong Republican leadership to restore trust, improve education, strengthen the economy, and secure election integrity. He also shares his inspiring personal story—from growing up in Detroit to graduating West Point, serving as an Apache pilot in Iraq, and building a successful business—underscoring his commitment to faith, family, and service. Clay's Got Balls! Clay promotes his upcoming book “Balls”, which argues why young men and sports fans should vote Republican, and says he's going to donate all proceeds to charity and asks the audience which charity he should support.    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.

In Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay Travis dives into the latest political and cultural flashpoints dominating the news cycle. The ongoing government shutdown, now in its second day, which Clay calls the “Schumer Shutdown”, driven by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s fear of a progressive primary challenge from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). Clay predicts AOC will run for president in 2028 and possibly pivot to challenge Schumer for his Senate seat if her White House bid falters. He even speculates on a Gavin Newsom–AOC ticket as the likely Democratic pairing for 2028. The discussion then shifts to a Gallup poll revealing trust in media has plummeted to a record low of just 28%, compared to over 70% in 1980. Clay explores why Americans no longer trust legacy media, citing misinformation during COVID-19 and the Russia collusion narrative. He challenges listeners to share which media figures they still trust, emphasizing the difference between agreeing with someone’s opinion and trusting their factual accuracy.

Clay shares listener reactions and humorously calls out fellow radio host Jesse Kelly for ordering $75 tequila shots, tying it into a broader discussion about gratitude and humility in media. Clay argues that many in mainstream media lack appreciation for their privileged positions, contrasting that with his own daily practice of gratitude and the conservative ethos of thankfulness for living in America. The hour takes a sharp turn into cultural commentary as Clay critiques Joy Reid’s viral comments claiming America was not a land of opportunity for her immigrant parents. Clay challenges this narrative, pointing out Reid’s Harvard education and multimillion-dollar career as evidence of American opportunity. He frames this as part of a larger ideological divide: Republicans value gratitude and patriotism, while Democrats push narratives of grievance and victimhood. A major segment features an in-depth interview with Congressman John James, who is running for governor of Michigan. James responds to Al Sharpton’s false claim that Michigan lacks Black congressional representation, calling out identity politics and emphasizing policy over race.

In Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay Travis zeroes in on one of America’s most pressing issues: violent crime and public safety. With Buck Sexton still in Taiwan, Clay leads a powerful discussion on why the U.S. must stop tolerating skyrocketing crime rates and what real solutions look like. The hour begins with Clay highlighting President Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, which started in Washington, D.C., where federal intervention dramatically reduced violent crime. Trump now plans to replicate this success in other high-crime cities like Memphis, Baltimore, and Chicago. Clay praises Trump’s “builder mentality,” contrasting it with career politicians who enjoy perks but fail to deliver real change. Clay then shares a heartbreaking story from South Carolina: 22-year-old Logan Federico was brutally murdered by a man with 39 prior arrests and 25 felony charges, yet he spent only 600 days in prison over a decade. Clay plays an emotional clip from Logan’s father, who vows to fight for justice and accountability. This tragedy sparks a broader conversation about soft-on-crime policies, broken justice systems, and the urgent need to prioritize victims over criminals. Listeners from Memphis call in with chilling firsthand accounts of violence in their neighborhoods. One caller describes a mass shooting at a pool party that left an Ole Miss football recruit dead and bullets flying into his home. Another caller, a roofing contractor, details working in some of Memphis’ most dangerous areas, pulling AR-15 rounds from rooftops and witnessing families living in fear. Both callers stress the lack of community leadership and moral guidance, pointing to family breakdown and cultural decay as root causes. Clay argues that the solution is clear: target the small percentage of repeat offenders driving most violent crime, lock them up, and restore law and order. He calls for ending “toxic empathy” that prioritizes criminals over innocent citizens and urges a national crackdown on violent offenders. The hour wraps with lighter moments, including listener talkbacks on trusted media voices, suggestions for charities to receive proceeds from Clay’s upcoming book Balls: How Trump, Young Men, and Sports Fans Saved America, and even a quick sports question about Arkansas football’s next head coach. Clay reiterates his commitment to donating all book profits to charity and thanks listeners for their support.
