Miranda's sourcing on Thomas Crooks

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers breaking news and in-depth analysis on major political and cultural stories. Buck Sexton leads the hour with an exclusive interview featuring Miranda Devine of the New York Post, who reveals shocking details about Thomas Crooks, the would-be assassin of President Donald Trump. Devine explains how Crooks’ online footprint—spanning platforms like YouTube, Gab, and DeviantArt—shows a disturbing evolution from pro-Trump rhetoric to violent anti-Trump threats, including assassination fantasies. She highlights Crooks’ use of aliases, his ties to extremist forums, and even gender identity confusion, noting his adoption of they/them pronouns and links to the “furry” subculture. Devine questions why the FBI and Secret Service failed to act despite clear warning signs, raising concerns about possible agency negligence or concealment.

The conversation pivots to Hunter Biden, after audio surfaces of him launching personal attacks on Devine, calling her unethical and insulting her appearance. Buck and Miranda dissect Biden’s behavior, emphasizing his inability to refute documented evidence of corruption involving foreign business deals and influence-peddling during Joe Biden’s vice presidency. The segment underscores the Biden family scandal, Hunter’s legal immunity, and the media’s complicity in shielding Democrats from accountability.

Buck then shifts focus to Donald Trump’s fiery Oval Office exchange with ABC News reporter Mary Bruce, who pressed him on Saudi business ties and the upcoming Epstein Files Transparency Act vote. Trump blasts ABC as “fake news,” defends his record, and reiterates that he expelled Jeffrey Epstein from his club years ago—contrasting that with Epstein’s deep ties to Bill Clinton and other Democratic elites. Trump frames the Epstein narrative as a “Democrat hoax” aimed at distracting from his administration’s economic successes, including historic reductions in inflation and energy costs. Buck reinforces this point with commentary from Stephen Miller, who credits Trump for restoring affordability and combating inflation.

The hour closes with cultural commentary and listener talkbacks on tipping etiquette and dating advice, adding a relatable and lighthearted touch to the intense political discussion. Buck emphasizes generosity and confidence as keys to navigating everyday life.
