The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H3 - Media is Losing Their Toys
Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political analysis, media critique, and cultural commentary. The hour opens with reflections on the one-year anniversary of President Joe Biden’s decision to exit the 2024 race, sparking intense discussion around Hunter Biden’s recent media blitz. The hosts dissect Hunter’s profanity-laced criticism of Democrats like George Clooney and James Carville, and speculate on his potential political ambitions—raising the provocative question: is Hunter Biden testing the waters for a future run?
The segment also covers breaking news of actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s reported death, adding a somber note to the hour.
A major focus is the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s late-night show, which reportedly lost $40 million annually despite high ratings. The hosts challenge claims that the cancellation was politically motivated, instead pointing to unsustainable business models and the broader collapse of legacy media. This leads into a broader critique of late-night television, the decline of traditional media, and the rise of alternative platforms like YouTube and podcasts.
The conversation pivots to the WNBA’s financial woes, highlighting the league’s projected $40 million loss and the players’ controversial “Pay Us What You Owe Us” campaign. The hosts draw parallels between the WNBA and Colbert’s show, arguing both are examples of “woke economics” disconnected from market realities.
Listeners are also treated to a tribute to Admiral James Flatley, the only aviator to land and take off a C-130 Hercules from an aircraft carrier—an aviation feat tied to Buck Sexton’s family history.
The hour wraps with commentary on economic migration trends, including the relocation of In-N-Out Burger’s president to Tennessee, and a critique of progressive economic policies in states like California and New York. The hosts emphasize the importance of economic literacy, authenticity in media, and the enduring power of talk radio in a fragmented media landscape.
