The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

In the first hour of today’s Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Buck Sexton, hosting solo while Clay Travis is on vacation, delivers a high-energy breakdown of major political and cultural developments. The hour opens with a focus on national security and immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump, highlighting a major ICE operation dubbed “Operation Patriot,” which targeted over 1,500 high-value criminal illegal aliens. Sexton praises the Trump administration’s proactive stance on border security and law enforcement, contrasting it with previous Democratic policies. The show then shifts to international affairs, covering a significant Ukrainian drone strike on Russian bombers, which people have compared to the “Hezbollah-style” pager surprise attack. He emphasizes the strategic implications and the evolving nature of modern warfare. A major segment is dedicated to a controversial incident in California where a biological male identifying as female won the state girl’s high school track championship. Sexton critiques the media’s coverage, particularly CNN’s framing of the issue, and features commentary from attorney Julie Hamill, who argues that such policies violate Title IX and federal civil rights law. The discussion underscores the Trump administration’s position on protecting women’s sports and enforcing legal definitions of sex and gender. The hour also covers a disturbing antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, where an illegal immigrant allegedly threw incendiary devices at a vigil for Israeli hostages. Sexton links the attack to broader concerns about immigration enforcement and national security, reinforcing President Trump’s warnings about the risks posed by unchecked illegal immigration. Throughout the hour, Sexton criticizes mainstream media narratives, particularly those from CNN, and highlights what he sees as the ideological extremism of the left on issues ranging from gender identity to immigration. He calls for stronger enforcement of federal laws and praises the Trump administration’s efforts to restore order and uphold American values.    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.

Interview featuring Julie Hamill, attorney and president of the California Justice Center, who critiques California’s gender identity policies and their conflict with federal Title IX protections. Hamill explains how California’s AB 1266 and similar laws undermine sex-based rights for women and girls in sports and education, sparking viral attention after her CNN appearance. The conversation emphasizes the legal and societal implications of redefining gender in law, with a focus on protecting biological women’s rights in athletics and public spaces. The segment also explores the broader political ramifications, including the role of President Donald Trump’s administration in challenging these policies and advocating for a return to sex-based legal definitions. The hosts and Hamill discuss the need for federal legislation to clarify Title IX, the pending lawsuits against California’s gender laws, and the cultural resistance to acknowledging biological differences in policy debates. The show also features a passionate defense of Israel’s right to self-defense following the October 7th attacks, condemning calls for ceasefires that ignore the brutality of Hamas. Buck draws historical parallels and critiques the American left’s tendency to blame the West for global conflicts, asserting that such views embolden extremism and undermine national security. In addition, the hour includes a discussion on illegal immigration and national security, spotlighting how the Colorado attacker exploited the U.S. asylum system. Buck warns that President Biden’s open border policies are creating vulnerabilities that could be exploited by bad actors. Listeners are reminded of the importance of moral clarity in confronting terrorism and antisemitism, with Buck urging Americans to stand firmly against hate and in support of democratic allies like Israel. The hour concludes with a preview of upcoming topics, including more on immigration policy and the economic outlook under President Trump.    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.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the political and economic implications of the much-debated “big, beautiful bill” currently under scrutiny in Washington. This hour features a robust discussion on the bill’s fiscal impact, with commentary from high-profile figures including President Donald Trump, WI Senator Ron Johnson, and Elon Musk. Buck explores the internal GOP disagreements over the bill’s projected deficit effects, mandatory spending constraints, and the reconciliation process in the Senate. The conversation highlights President Trump’s strategic vision for economic growth and border security, emphasizing that the bill fully funds the border wall and enforcement measures—key promises from his administration. The hosts argue that this legislation could be a turning point for restoring fiscal responsibility while reinforcing national sovereignty. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defends the administration’s stance against criticism from Republican senators and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), calling into question the CBO’s credibility and historical accuracy. The segment critiques the politicization of economic forecasting and underscores the revenue potential from Trump’s tariff policies, particularly regarding China. In a special interview, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy joins the program to address the nationwide crisis in air traffic control and flight delays. He outlines the administration’s plan to modernize the outdated air traffic infrastructure, including a proposed $12 billion investment from the bill to overhaul the system with cutting-edge technology. Duffy also discusses the future of drone deliveries and air taxis, projecting major advancements by the 2028 Olympics. Duffy just released a report on the CA High Speed Rail and pointed out how liberals have spent 16 billion and are 17 years into the project with no track laid. The hour wraps with a lighter segment on music preferences, where Buck shares his eclectic taste—from classical composers like Mozart and Beethoven to electronic dance music artists like Rufus Du Sol and Bob Moses.

Why Clay Doesn't Need Therapy Deep dive into the explosive political and business fallout from the public rift between President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk. Broadcasting solo while Buck Sexton is away, Clay Travis offers a detailed psychological and strategic analysis of the Trump-Musk feud, which erupted over disagreements related to government spending, NASA leadership, and AI policy. Clay frames the conflict as a clash between two powerful entrepreneurial minds—Trump, the seasoned political builder, and Musk, the impulsive, high-achieving founder frustrated by the slow pace of government bureaucracy. Clay argues that Elon Musk, despite being the most successful capitalist in modern history—leading Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter), Neuralink, and more—struggled with the limitations of government operations. Musk’s frustration, according to Clay, culminated in an emotional outburst on social media, including a controversial and unsubstantiated claim linking Trump to the Epstein files. Clay strongly refutes this accusation, calling it illogical and politically implausible, especially given the Democrats’ long-standing efforts to discredit Trump.
