Code Switching Clay and Buck dive into the political and cultural landscape shaping the first fall of the Trump 2.0 presidency, highlighting the ongoing resistance from federal judges against the administration’s policies. The hosts criticize what they describe as partisan judicial activism, particularly rulings that attempt to block President Trump’s constitutional authority—such as deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles during immigration-related unrest. They emphasize how these decisions are often overturned by higher courts, including the Supreme Court, reinforcing Trump’s legal standing. The show also covers a controversial case involving 76 unaccompanied Guatemalan children who were blocked from being reunited with their families in Guatemala by a federal judge. Clay and Buck frame this as an example of how judicial overreach is obstructing humanitarian efforts and immigration reform under Trump 2.0. Call in the Guard! A deep dive into the escalating crisis of urban crime in America, with a sharp focus on cities like Chicago, Washington D.C., and Memphis. They highlight the Trump administration’s proactive stance on law and order, praising President Trump’s efforts to reduce violent crime and carjackings while exposing the political resistance from Democrat leaders who, they argue, are failing to protect their constituents. The conversation centers around the staggering statistic that 50 people were shot in Chicago over Labor Day weekend, prompting Clay and Buck to question why Democratic officials like Mayor Brandon Johnson oppose federal assistance, including National Guard deployment, to restore safety. They contrast Johnson’s slogan-heavy rhetoric with more pragmatic voices like Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough, who surprisingly called for bipartisan cooperation with Trump to address crime in Illinois. The hosts also revisit the controversial remarks of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who suggested that increased policing would lead to too many arrests of black and brown individuals. Clay and Buck challenge this logic, emphasizing that the real victims of unchecked crime are often minorities living in high-crime neighborhoods. They argue that the true measure of safety is whether women and children can walk or jog freely in their communities without fear. Commie Mamdani The New York City mayoral race, scrutinizing the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist. They dissect the New York Times’ attempt to downplay his ideology and warn that his proposed policies—like government-run grocery stores—could devastate the city’s economy and infrastructure. The hosts debate whether Mamdani is a true ideologue or simply an inexperienced politician who may struggle to implement his radical agenda. The segment also includes reflections on past NYC mayors like Rudy Giuliani, Michael Bloomberg, and Bill de Blasio, comparing their leadership styles and impact on crime. Clay and Buck argue that Bloomberg’s business acumen and Giuliani’s law enforcement background made them effective leaders, while de Blasio’s progressive policies contributed to the city’s decline. Doesn't Have to be This Way Clay and Buck scrutinize Chicago’s violent crime epidemic, where Governor JB Pritzker dodges questions about the city’s safety following a weekend of 54 shootings and 7 deaths. Clay and Buck argue that President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Washington D.C. has proven effective, and they challenge Democrats to explain their resistance to similar measures in cities like Memphis, St. Louis, and New Orleans. The hosts dissect Mayor Brandon Johnson’s inflammatory rhetoric, including his call for citizens to “defend the land” against Trump’s law enforcement efforts. Clay and Buck criticize this as dangerous and historically inaccurate, noting that Chicago was not built by slaves or indigenous people, and that invoking such narratives undermines real solutions to crime. They emphasize the psychological deterrent effect of visible law enforcement and the success of plainclothes policing units in cities like New York. The conversation shifts to the broader political implications of Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, highlighting how Democrats are increasingly boxed into defending the indefensible. Clay and Buck argue that Trump’s actions are saving lives, even if those lives can’t be individually identified, and they call out the hypocrisy of Democrats who welcomed National Guard troops during COVID but now oppose them for public safety.   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Hour 1 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay and Buck dive into the political and cultural landscape shaping the first fall of the Trump 2.0 presidency, highlighting the ongoing resistance from federal judges against the administration’s policies. The hosts criticize what they describe as partisan judicial activism, particularly rulings that attempt to block President Trump’s constitutional authority—such as deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles during immigration-related unrest. They emphasize how these decisions are often overturned by higher courts, including the Supreme Court, reinforcing Trump’s legal standing. The show also covers a controversial case involving 76 unaccompanied Guatemalan children who were blocked from being reunited with their families in Guatemala by a federal judge. Clay and Buck frame this as an example of how judicial overreach is obstructing humanitarian efforts and immigration reform under Trump 2.0. Shifting to domestic issues, the hosts spotlight violent crime in Chicago, reporting that 50 people were shot over Labor Day weekend, including eight fatalities. They argue this underscores the urgent need for law-and-order policies and stronger support for law enforcement. A significant portion of the hour is devoted to a heated discussion about Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, focusing on her public speaking style and perceived inauthenticity. Clay and Buck compare her polished campaign rhetoric to recent viral clips where she adopts a more casual, grammatically incorrect vernacular. They debate whether this is a strategic form of code-switching aimed at social media influence or a misguided attempt to connect with constituents. The conversation expands to broader themes of authenticity in politics, the rise of social media personas among elected officials, and the evolving role of Congress as a platform for media careers. The hosts also touch on the upcoming New York City mayoral race, expressing concern over the likely election of Zohran Mamdani, whom they describe as a charismatic advocate for socialism. They warn that his policies—such as government-run grocery stores and wealth redistribution—could appeal to younger voters frustrated by economic challenges, despite being economically unsound.

The hosts also discuss the political implications of rising crime, noting that Trump’s support among black male voters surged in 2024, and that Democrats risk losing more ground if they continue to ignore public safety concerns. Later in the hour, Clay and Buck shift to the New York City mayoral race, scrutinizing the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist. They dissect the New York Times’ attempt to downplay his ideology and warn that his proposed policies—like government-run grocery stores—could devastate the city’s economy and infrastructure.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show continues the deep dive into the political and cultural battles shaping America, with a strong focus on urban crime, Democratic leadership failures, and media manipulation. The hour opens with renewed scrutiny of Chicago’s violent crime epidemic, where Governor JB Pritzker dodges questions about the city’s safety following a weekend of 54 shootings and 7 deaths. Clay and Buck argue that President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Washington D.C. has proven effective, and they challenge Democrats to explain their resistance to similar measures in cities like Memphis, St. Louis, and New Orleans. The hosts dissect Mayor Brandon Johnson’s inflammatory rhetoric, including his call for citizens to “defend the land” against Trump’s law enforcement efforts. Clay and Buck criticize this as dangerous and historically inaccurate, noting that Chicago was not built by slaves or indigenous people, and that invoking such narratives undermines real solutions to crime. They emphasize the psychological deterrent effect of visible law enforcement and the success of plainclothes policing units in cities like New York. The conversation shifts to the broader political implications of Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, highlighting how Democrats are increasingly boxed into defending the indefensible. Clay and Buck argue that Trump’s actions are saving lives, even if those lives can’t be individually identified, and they call out the hypocrisy of Democrats who welcomed National Guard troops during COVID but now oppose them for public safety. Listeners call in to share personal perspectives, including a black caller from Oklahoma City who explains that many black Democrats support figures like Jasmine Crockett simply because they oppose Trump, regardless of how they present themselves. The hosts explore the growing divide within the black community, particularly among black men, who are increasingly open to conservative ideas and Trump’s policies. The hour also covers the emerging controversy surrounding Maryland Governor Wes Moore, a rising Democratic star accused of falsely claiming he received a Bronze Star. Clay and Buck expose the media’s attempt to sanitize the story and suggest that Moore’s misrepresentation is part of a broader effort to position him as a future presidential contender. They compare Moore’s situation to past cases of military record embellishment and argue that such dishonesty should disqualify candidates from higher office. In a lighter segment, the hosts mock Kamala Harris’s upcoming speaking tour, including a VIP event in Nashville with ticket prices exceeding $2,700. They joke about attending undercover and reflect on the Democratic Party’s struggle to connect with young men, predicting a future ticket featuring Gavin Newsom and Wes Moore as an attempt to rebrand the party’s image. The show closes with a heartfelt call from a listener whose father earned three Bronze Stars but never spoke of them, contrasting his humility with Moore’s alleged self-promotion. Clay and Buck promise to help her recover the medals in honor of her father’s service.
