The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jan 27 2026
Trump Addresses Minneapolis Turmoil
Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show opens with a deep dive into the intensifying crisis in Minneapolis, now the central flashpoint for debates over immigration enforcement, ICE operations, and the broader Trump 2.0 agenda. Clay and Buck highlight new statements from President Donald J. Trump, who said he had productive conversations with both Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, emphasizing that Minneapolis must cooperate with federal authorities by turning over criminal illegal aliens. Trump also links America’s newly announced 125‑year low in violent crime to stronger border security and the removal of violent offenders—a connection the hosts believe the White House should emphasize more aggressively.
The hosts critique the missteps made by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, whose initial comments about the Minneapolis shooting created unnecessary vulnerabilities in the administration’s messaging. Buck argues that the Minneapolis situation is not a protest movement but a coordinated set of “sabotage operations” designed to obstruct ICE arrests, escalate confrontations, and undermine federal authority.
Illegal Immigration’s Political Impact
The guys deliver an intense, data‑driven deep dive into the escalating Minneapolis ICE standoff, the surge in far‑left sabotage operations, and the broader national implications of illegal immigration, crime rates, and 20230 census political shifts. Clay and Buck break down how a coordinated web of left‑wing activist networks—including socialist, communist, and Marxist‑Leninist cells—mobilized rapidly during the Minneapolis incident involving ICE agents, using encrypted communications, street alerts, and digital tracking systems. They stress that the tactics deployed in Minneapolis resemble “decentralized domestic terror cell” operations and warn that these methods could expand into other major blue cities.
The hosts draw a direct line between Trump’s immigration enforcement policies, secure borders, and the 125‑year low in U.S. murder rates, arguing that aggressive removal of criminal illegal immigrants has substantially contributed to safer American communities. They highlight how media narratives—such as Whoopi Goldberg’s viral claim on The View—completely ignore the violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants against innocent Americans, including high‑profile cases such as the killing of Riley, whose murderer had previously been released despite illegal status.
Our Numbers Guy, Ryan Girdusky
Clay and Buck also analyze the explosion of self‑deportations and the dramatic decline in foreign‑born births, citing data from Ryan Girdusky, host of the “A Numbers Game.” Podcast They review sharp year‑over‑year drops in births among foreign‑born women from countries with large illegal immigrant populations—El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, China, Nigeria, and Ecuador—arguing that these declines signal meaningful demographic shifts tied directly to stepped‑up immigration enforcement.
The hour dives into the 2030 Census and Electoral College stakes, with Girdusky explaining that mass migration from blue states and restrictions on illegal immigration could dramatically reshape political power. States like Texas and Florida are projected to gain multiple congressional seats, while California, New York, Illinois, and other Democrat‑run states face major seat losses. The result? A significantly stronger Electoral College map for Republican presidential candidates—and a shrinking path to victory for Democrats.
The discussion also explores internal tensions within the Trump administration, including controversies around Kristi Noem’s response to the Minneapolis shooting, the sidelining of ICE legend Tom Homan, and the political consequences of inconsistent messaging. Clay and Buck emphasize the importance of maintaining public trust in ICE, warning that Democrats aim not only to defund the agency but increasingly to criminalize ICE officers and leadership.
Trump is keeping his word
C&B discusses the latest developments surrounding the Minneapolis ICE shooting. Clay and Buck highlight new reporting that the agitator involved, Preti, had previously been tackled by ICE agents and had a history of obstructing federal operations—context they argue is essential in understanding the incident.
From there, the hosts spotlight dramatic shifts in Democratic Party messaging on illegal immigration, contrasting today’s rhetoric with Barack Obama’s 2010 statements acknowledging the need for border enforcement and consequences for unlawful entry. They juxtapose that earlier bipartisan consensus with current extremist commentary on the Left, citing figures like Rick Wilson—who called for Steven Miller to face “Nuremberg Trials”—and Stephen Colbert, who compared ICE agents to Nazis. Clay and Buck criticize this “radical narrative creep,” arguing that Democrats have moved from supporting border security to vilifying law enforcement officers carrying out immigration laws.
