Vitiello also updates listeners on the status of the border wall, revealing that over 100 miles have been constructed using remaining funds from Trump’s first term, with plans for 700 additional miles underway.

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Buck Sexton hosting solo while Clay Travis is away. Buck opens with reflections on a recent gathering of prominent conservative media figures in Palm Beach, setting a celebratory tone before diving into a packed hour of political commentary and analysis. The hour centers heavily on the leadership and policy direction of President Donald Trump. Buck highlights President Trump’s recent call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, emphasizing the administration’s focus on trade negotiations and the significant drop in the U.S. trade deficit. Buck underscores how Trump’s economic strategies are proving effective, citing recent data that shows a dramatic reduction in the trade deficit and a boost to GDP. A major theme of the hour is the proposed “Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping legislative package aimed at strengthening border security, funding deportation efforts, and advancing economic reforms. Buck passionately supports the bill, arguing that it represents the most significant investment in U.S. border enforcement in history. He references insights from Kentucky Senators Rand Paul and Ron Johnson, as well as Trump Senior advisor Stephen Miller, to frame the bill as a necessary step for long-term fiscal and national security. The show also covers the political fallout surrounding former Biden White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who has recently declared herself an independent. Buck critiques her tenure and the broader implications of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) hiring practices, tying the discussion to a recent Supreme Court ruling that he views as a win against DEI overreach. President Trump’s newly announced executive order instituting a travel ban on several countries—including Yemen, Somalia, Haiti, and Libya—is another focal point. Buck defends the policy as a common-sense national security measure and criticizes the left’s opposition as rooted in anti-American sentiment. He argues that Democrats increasingly view America as a nation that deserves punishment rather than pride, contrasting that with Trump’s America First agenda. The hour concludes with commentary on national identity, immigration, and assimilation, with Buck asserting that maintaining a shared American culture and enforcing immigration laws are essential to preserving the nation’s sovereignty and prosperity.    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 and 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.
