The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and in-depth analysis of the latest developments in U.S. foreign policy, national security, and domestic politics, with a strong focus on President Donald Trump’s leadership. The hour opens with a breakdown of Trump’s recent NATO appearance and the media’s reaction to the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Clay and Buck dissect the conflicting intelligence reports and media narratives, emphasizing how early assessments are being used to undermine what they argue was a strategically successful operation under President Trump’s command. The hosts highlight Trump’s direct rebuttal of media skepticism, particularly targeting outlets like CNN and The New York Times, and stress the obliteration of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure as a significant geopolitical win. Buck Sexton, drawing on his intelligence background, critiques the leak of early intelligence assessments and frames it as a politically motivated attempt to discredit the president. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of Trump’s decisive actions for adversaries like China and Russia, reinforcing his image as a strong and unpredictable leader on the world stage. Domestically, the show pivots to the political fallout from the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, where the nomination of a far-left candidate sparks debate over whether this opens the door for a Republican resurgence. Buck expresses skepticism about a GOP victory in New York, citing entrenched liberal voting patterns, while callers offer contrasting views on the potential for political realignment in urban centers. The hour also explores the cultural and political migration trends from blue states to red states, with a focus on how conservative values are influencing local politics in places like Tennessee and Florida. Clay and Buck discuss the ideological divide between liberal transplants and native conservatives, warning about the risk of importing failed policies into thriving communities. In a sharp critique of mainstream media, the hosts call out figures like Joy Reid for controversial takes on nuclear proliferation, particularly the suggestion that Iran acquiring nuclear weapons could stabilize the Middle East. They contrast this with Israel’s successful missile defense and Trump’s growing popularity in Israel, including calls for him to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The segment concludes with a broader reflection on President Trump’s foreign policy achievements, the failures of the Biden administration, and the media’s consistent bias against Trump. Clay and Buck argue that Trump’s common-sense approach to international relations has yielded tangible results, while Biden’s record is increasingly viewed as a series of strategic blunders.    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 delivers a dynamic and in-depth discussion on major national security developments, foreign policy, and domestic political issues, with a strong focus on President Donald Trump's leadership and agenda. The hour opens with coverage of President Trump’s pivotal role at the NATO summit, where he continues to push allies to meet their defense spending commitments. The hosts highlight how Trump’s influence has reshaped NATO’s strategic posture, with European leaders even echoing his rhetoric, including a notable moment where the NATO chief jokingly referred to Trump as “daddy.” The conversation transitions into a critical analysis of a recent intelligence leak to CNN and The New York Times. Buck Sexton, leveraging his intelligence background, explains the dangers of leaking classified information, especially when it undermines national security and the president’s foreign policy. The hosts explore the challenges of identifying leakers, the political motivations behind such actions, and the broader implications for U.S. intelligence integrity. A major segment is dedicated to the aftermath of a successful U.S. military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. The hosts dissect conflicting media narratives, with Tulsi Gabbard and Israeli intelligence confirming the strike’s effectiveness, while legacy media outlets allegedly downplay the success using selectively leaked intelligence. The discussion underscores President Trump’s decisive leadership in neutralizing threats from Iran and the importance of transparency in national defense outcomes. Senator Marsha Blackburn joins the show to provide updates on the progress of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” President Trump’s signature legislative initiative. She confirms that the bill, which includes the largest tax cut in American history, is on track to be signed by July 4th. Key provisions include making the 2017 tax cuts permanent, eliminating taxes on tips, and protecting Social Security from taxation. Blackburn also discusses her recent ICE ride-along, emphasizing the Trump administration’s commitment to deporting criminal illegal aliens and securing the border. The hour wraps with a lighter but still politically charged segment on Florida’s proposed “Alligator Alcatraz” detention facility in the Everglades, designed to house illegal immigrants in a secure, natural barrier environment. The hosts also touch on invasive species in Florida and debunk common myths—like the presence of flamingos in the state. Finally, the show briefly covers the latest developments in the high-profile Sean “Diddy” Combs trial, predicting a potential hung jury due to lack of consensus on the charges.    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.

President Dad The latest developments in global politics, with a strong focus on President Donald Trump’s leadership in brokering a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. The hosts analyze the fragile -- but currently holding -- ceasefire, emphasizing Trump’s diplomatic strategy and his frustration with both nations’ initial violations. They liken his tone to that of a fed-up father trying to keep peace among unruly children, highlighting his relatable, no-nonsense communication style. The discussion underscores the significant military and strategic setback suffered by Iran, with Israel’s precision strikes dismantling key elements of Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure. The hosts argue that this outcome not only showcases Israel’s military superiority but also sends a powerful message to the Iranian regime and its people about the futility of continued aggression. They explore the psychological and political impact on ordinary Iranians, questioning whether the public will begin to challenge the legitimacy of their leadership in light of these failures. President Trump’s broader Middle East policy is praised for its emphasis on economic cooperation and regional stability, particularly through initiatives like the Abraham Accords. The hosts credit Trump’s business-first approach with fostering stronger ties between Israel and several Arab nations, contrasting this with Iran’s stagnation under hardline clerical rule. The Country is Doing Great a breakdown of the ongoing ceasefire between Israel and Iran, emphasizing President Trump’s pivotal role in brokering peace and preventing escalation. Clay and Buck dismantle media-driven fears of World War III, highlighting how oil prices have dropped to around $65 per barrel and the S&P 500 is near record highs—contradicting predictions of economic collapse. They credit Trump’s strategic leadership and economic policies, including tariffs, for maintaining market stability and national prosperity. Mark Simone on Why the NYC Primary Matters Clay and Buck's deep into the political upheaval surrounding the New York City mayoral race, offering sharp analysis and insider commentary on the Democratic primary and its national implications. WOR’s Mark Simone joins the program and breaks down the surprising momentum of socialist candidate Momani and the controversial comeback attempt by former Governor Andrew Cuomo. The discussion highlights Cuomo’s problematic legacy, including his role in implementing no-bail laws, closing prisons, and mishandling the COVID-19 nursing home crisis—policies that have driven residents and businesses out of New York in droves. The hosts explore how ranked-choice voting could dramatically influence the outcome, potentially delaying results for days and enabling strategic alliances among candidates. Simone predicts a rare five-way general election featuring Mamdani, Cuomo, current Mayor Eric Adams, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and another independent. The conversation underscores the broader political stakes, suggesting that New York City’s election could serve as a national barometer for the Democratic Party’s direction in the Trump era. Listeners also hear about the economic and social consequences of a potential Mamdani victory, including threats from major business owners to leave the city. The hour wraps with a broader reflection on the psychological resistance among liberal voters to admit policy failures, and how this mindset perpetuates urban decline in Democrat-led cities. This episode is essential listening for anyone tracking the 2025 political landscape, the resurgence of President Donald Trump, and the future of America’s largest city under the shadow of radical progressive politics. Dumb Democrats The hosts also critique the radical left, particularly New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who advocates for socialist policies and extreme anti-Israel rhetoric. They draw attention to the broader Democratic Party’s internal chaos, spotlighting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s failed attempt to impeach President Trump over the Iran airstrikes. The impeachment vote—defeated 344 to 79, with 128 Democrats voting against it—underscores the disconnect between progressive activists and mainstream Democrats. President Trump’s energy and stamina are praised as he travels to Europe for NATO meetings immediately after intense diplomatic efforts in the Middle East. The show features clips of Trump lambasting CNN and MSNBC for their coverage of the Iran strikes, reinforcing his stance that Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons and may pivot toward becoming a trading nation. The hour wraps with commentary on the Oklahoma City Thunder’s peaceful championship celebration, a call for the team to visit the White House, and reflections on the Biden presidency. The hosts argue that President Biden’s legacy is unraveling, with revelations about his past behavior and leadership failures surfacing even among Democrats.    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.
