The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

In Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts deliver a dynamic and wide-ranging discussion centered on government spending cuts, media bias, social media’s societal impact, and cultural commentary, all while weaving in personal anecdotes and listener feedback. The hour opens with a deep dive into the Senate’s advancement of a rescissions package, which includes the White House’s request to cut $9.4 billion in previously approved funding. A major focus is the proposed $1.1 billion cut to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, targeting NPR and PBS. The hosts argue that these outlets, often perceived as left-leaning, should not receive taxpayer subsidies, especially when competing with privately funded conservative media. They highlight the unfair advantage government-funded media has in the open marketplace and call for a level playing field. The conversation shifts to media bias, particularly NPR’s decision to ignore the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 election. The hosts frame this as a clear example of taxpayer-funded media influencing political outcomes, reinforcing their argument for defunding public broadcasters. Listeners are also treated to a passionate discussion about civility in public life, sparked by an incident where Senator JD Vance’s children were harassed at Disneyland. The hosts condemn the politicization of family spaces and draw parallels to past harassment of conservative figures like Ted Cruz and Sarah Huckabee Sanders. They emphasize the importance of respecting personal boundaries, regardless of political affiliation. The hour also explores the Titan Submersible Netflix documentary, with the hosts reflecting on the dangers of extreme tourism and the psychological toll of claustrophobic environments. This segues into broader commentary on parenting in the digital age, where they discuss the dangers of social media for children, likening its impact to smoking. They advocate for delaying smartphone access and highlight the growing movement among schools and parents to restrict phone use in classrooms. In a segment on immigration enforcement, the hosts praise Steven Miller and ICE officers for their role in reducing illegal border crossings, citing recent data showing the lowest border encounters since 2003. They argue that strong border policies and law enforcement support are key pillars of the Trump administration’s success. The hour wraps with listener call-ins, humorous banter about vocabulary mispronunciations, and a push to grow their YouTube subscriber base, emphasizing the shift in content consumption among younger audiences.  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.

Trump's Tariffs Paying Off The economic impact of Trump-era tariffs, with the hosts highlighting a rare federal budget surplus in June 2025. They argue that despite media narratives, tariffs have not triggered significant inflation and instead have generated substantial revenue. The conversation also critiques Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for high interest rates, which they claim have frozen the housing market and stifled economic growth. The hosts advocate for rate cuts to stimulate recovery, pointing to record-high stock market performance and strong job growth under Trump’s second term. Gov. Gavin Salesman Clay and Buck analyze California Governor Gavin Newsom’s national ambitions, suggesting he is positioning himself as a frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. They critique Newsom’s evasive responses on controversial issues like transgender policies and youth gender surgeries, portraying him as a polished but insubstantial figure who avoids taking firm stances. The discussion frames Newsom as emblematic of a Democratic strategy that relies on charm and ambiguity rather than policy clarity. Illegal Immigration Realities Deep dive into the pressing issues surrounding illegal immigration, border security, and the economic impact of immigration policies in the United States. The hosts open with a discussion on the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” ICE facility near the Everglades, using it as a springboard to critique the media’s portrayal of immigration enforcement and the emotional narratives often used by the political left. A major theme throughout this hour is the economic burden of illegal immigration, with Clay and Buck arguing that the influx of undocumented migrants contributes to rising housing costs, overcrowded emergency rooms, and inflated hotel prices—particularly in cities like New York City. They highlight how Airbnb regulations and the use of hotels to house migrants have disrupted local markets, driving up costs for everyday Americans. Can You Believe This Question? Media bias and cultural influence, particularly in sports journalism. Clay and Buck react to a viral moment from the MLB All-Star Game press conference, where a reporter from Defector confronted MLB officials over Georgia’s voting laws.

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into a dynamic mix of political analysis, economic commentary, and cultural critique, offering listeners a compelling breakdown of current events and conservative perspectives. Broadcasting from Atlanta during MLB’s All-Star festivities, the hosts open with light sports banter before transitioning into deeper discussions on national policy and political strategy. A major focus of this hour is the economic impact of Trump-era tariffs, with the hosts highlighting a rare federal budget surplus in June 2025. They argue that despite media narratives, tariffs have not triggered significant inflation and instead have generated substantial revenue. The conversation also critiques Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for high interest rates, which they claim have frozen the housing market and stifled economic growth. The hosts advocate for rate cuts to stimulate recovery, pointing to record-high stock market performance and strong job growth under Trump’s second term. The show also explores border security and crime reduction, asserting that violent crime rates are plummeting due to increased law enforcement and deportation of violent offenders. They credit the Trump administration’s immigration policies for restoring law and order, emphasizing that border enforcement and ICE operations are resonating with a broad swath of Americans, including minority communities. In a sharp political pivot, the hosts analyze California Governor Gavin Newsom’s national ambitions, suggesting he is positioning himself as a frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. They critique Newsom’s evasive responses on controversial issues like transgender policies and youth gender surgeries, portraying him as a polished but insubstantial figure who avoids taking firm stances. The discussion frames Newsom as emblematic of a Democratic strategy that relies on charm and ambiguity rather than policy clarity. Throughout the hour, the hosts reinforce the idea that Trump’s “EBC” platform—Economy, Border, Crime—is delivering results, contrasting it with what they describe as the Democrats’ inconsistent messaging and policy failures. They also touch on California’s political transformation, attributing its shift from red to blue to mass illegal immigration and failed progressive governance.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the pressing issues surrounding illegal immigration, border security, and the economic impact of immigration policies in the United States. The hosts open with a discussion on the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” ICE facility near the Everglades, using it as a springboard to critique the media’s portrayal of immigration enforcement and the emotional narratives often used by the political left. A major theme throughout this hour is the economic burden of illegal immigration, with Clay and Buck arguing that the influx of undocumented migrants contributes to rising housing costs, overcrowded emergency rooms, and inflated hotel prices—particularly in cities like New York City. They highlight how Airbnb regulations and the use of hotels to house migrants have disrupted local markets, driving up costs for everyday Americans. The conversation also tackles the “jobs Americans won’t do” myth, asserting that if employers paid fair wages, U.S. citizens would fill roles currently occupied by undocumented workers. They cite examples from the construction industry and meatpacking plants, emphasizing that economic incentives, not immigration status, determine labor participation. In a broader cultural context, the hosts question the long-held belief that “diversity is our strength,” pointing to Sweden’s immigration challenges as a cautionary tale. They argue that uncontrolled immigration without assimilation can erode national identity and social cohesion, drawing comparisons to countries like Japan, which maintain strict immigration policies to preserve cultural integrity.   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.
