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. The discussion wraps with Carr naming his top war movies and the literary legends who inspired his career.

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.

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. The hosts also react to Nobel Peace Prize news, where Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado dedicated her award to President Trump for his support of Venezuela’s fight for freedom. Clay and Buck discuss the significance of this moment for Latin American politics and why Venezuelan and Cuban communities in the U.S. strongly oppose socialism. In the second half of the hour, the show features an in-depth interview with Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL and bestselling author of the Terminal List series and Amazon Prime hit Dark Wolf.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
