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.

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. Clay and Buck slam the lack of accountability from Virginia Democrats and question why Spanberger continues to dodge questions about endorsing Jones. 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. Jack Carr Drops By An in-depth interview with Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL and bestselling author of the Terminal List series and Amazon Prime hit Dark Wolf. Carr shares behind-the-scenes details on adapting his books for television, his writing process, and his latest novel Cry Havoc. He offers practical advice for aspiring authors, insights on balancing creative projects with Hollywood demands, and his thoughts on weaving real-world geopolitics into fiction.

Clay and Buck emphasize the principle that no one is above the law, especially those enforcing it. In addition to this explosive legal story, the hour highlights historic progress in the Middle East: a truce between Israel and Hamas and the return of hostages, crediting President Trump’s diplomatic efforts and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews for their role in strengthening U.S.-Israel ties. Listeners also hear breaking news from Melania Trump, who announced the successful reunification of eight Ukrainian children with their families after direct negotiations with Vladimir Putin—a rare and significant humanitarian achievement.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show zeroes in on the high-stakes Virginia gubernatorial race and the explosive fallout from the latest debate. 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. Clay and Buck slam the lack of accountability from Virginia Democrats and question why Spanberger continues to dodge questions about endorsing Jones. Listeners then hear a powerful interview with Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, who calls Jones’ comments “astonishing” and “disqualifying.” 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. The hour also features sharp debate analysis, including Winsome Sears’ fiery takedown of Spanberger during the debate, and a discussion on the broader implications for law enforcement, political civility, and public safety in Virginia and beyond.
