Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a high-stakes discussion on breaking news and major geopolitical developments. The hour begins with the fatal ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, where a woman allegedly weaponized her vehicle during an immigration enforcement operation. Clay and Buck analyze video evidence showing the SUV accelerating toward an officer, reinforcing claims of self-defense. They blast Mayor Jacob Frey’s inflammatory remarks, including his demand for ICE to “get the F out” and his assertion that self-defense is “BS,” arguing these statements fuel unrest and prejudice any future trial. The hosts predict local prosecutors will pursue charges against the ICE agent for political gain, despite federal supremacy protections, and warn of potential riots reminiscent of the George Floyd era.

The conversation expands with Senator Marsha Blackburn’s insights, labeling the attack as “domestic terrorism” and citing alarming statistics: assaults on federal officers up 1,300% and death threats up 8,000%. Blackburn condemns sanctuary city policies for creating unsafe conditions and stresses the need for cooperation with ICE to prevent violent confrontations. She also weighs in on broader Trump administration initiatives, praising the capture of Nicolás Maduro, dismantling of Venezuelan drug cartels, and the strategic plan to stabilize Venezuela through controlled oil sales—30 to 50 million barrels earmarked for U.S. markets. The senator highlights the geopolitical importance of Greenland, noting its independence movement, U.S. military presence, and its role in countering Russian and Chinese influence. Discussion also touches on Cuba’s shifting dynamics, as economic pressure from Venezuela’s collapse and China’s reduced support sparks democratic aspirations among younger Cubans.

In a positive domestic turn, Blackburn celebrates a historic drop in violent crime, spotlighting Memphis as a success story where federal and state collaboration cut crime rates by 50% in just 100 days. Over 5,000 arrests, 800 illegal firearms seized, and hundreds of gang leaders removed underscore the Trump administration’s law-and-order approach.

Hour 3 closes with Clay and Buck warning that Democrats will exploit the Minneapolis shooting for political theater, predicting a prolonged legal battle over federal versus state jurisdiction. They frame the debate as a test of America’s commitment to rule of law, border security, and public safety, contrasting Trump’s decisive leadership with progressive chaos.
