The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

An in-depth interview with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullen, who provides exclusive insights into the much-anticipated “big beautiful bill.” This legislation, a cornerstone of the Trump administration’s economic agenda, aims to slash $1.6 trillion in deficit spending immediately—marking a significant departure from traditional 10-year budget cut plans. Senator Mullen outlines how this bill aligns with key Trump-era policies, including eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security, and emphasizes the importance of fiscal responsibility and reconciliation to implement these reforms. The conversation also explores the political divide within the GOP, with Mullen addressing concerns from fellow Republicans like Senators Rand Paul and Ron Johnson. He defends the necessity of raising the debt ceiling to stabilize the economy, likening it to investing in a failing business to ensure long-term growth. Mullen projects that with sound policy, innovation, and responsible governance, the U.S. could balance the budget within three years. Listeners are treated to a lighter segment as Senator Mullen, a former MMA fighter, shares his admiration for legends like Jon Jones and Randy Couture, and names “Bloodsport” as the greatest martial arts film of all time. The hour also includes commentary on the NBA Finals, the Prize Picks fantasy sports app, and a humorous exchange about sailors’ spending habits. In a sharp critique of mainstream media, Buck Sexton highlights what he sees as biased economic reporting, particularly from CBS News. He praises Treasury Secretary Scott Besson for challenging alarmist inflation narratives and defending the Trump administration’s economic performance, including a notable drop in inflation and egg prices. The hour wraps with listener calls, including a passionate plea for tax reform and a proposal to repeal the 16th Amendment.    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 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis solo-hosting as Buck Sexton recovers from the flu. Clay reflects on Memorial Day, honoring the sacrifices of American service members, and shares highlights from his visit to the Indy 500, emphasizing the strong presence of Clay and Buck listeners. The hour dives into major political and cultural topics, starting with breaking news: the CDC has officially removed the COVID-19 vaccine from its recommended immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women. Clay highlights this as a significant reversal of previous federal health mandates and criticizes the Biden administration and legacy media for their role in promoting what he calls “COVID shot propaganda.” He underscores the personal and professional consequences many Americans faced for refusing the vaccine, including job loss and social ostracization. Clay also revisits a 2022 Rasmussen poll showing that a majority of Democrats supported punitive measures against the unvaccinated, including fines, quarantine camps, and even child removal. He uses this data to argue that the public was misled and manipulated during the pandemic, and that the media is now attempting to “memory-hole” their role in the misinformation. The conversation shifts to President Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical decline, with Clay reacting to CNN’s Jake Tapper calling the media’s cover-up of Biden’s health “worse than Watergate.” Clay criticizes mainstream outlets like The Washington Post and The New York Times for failing to report on Biden’s condition, accusing them of prioritizing political loyalty and pharmaceutical advertising dollars over journalistic integrity. Clay draws parallels between legacy media and sports fan message boards, arguing that outlets like CNN and MSNBC now serve as echo chambers for partisan subscribers rather than objective news sources. He calls for congressional hearings into the Biden administration’s alleged cover-up and urges accountability for those who enabled it. The hour concludes with listener calls supporting Clay’s stance and calling for further investigation into the administration’s failure to invoke the 25th Amendment. Clay teases an upcoming interview with women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines in Hour 2, where they’ll discuss Donald Trump’s comments on transgender athletes and California’s controversial policies.    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.

In Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Buck Sexton is joined by journalist and Substack author Alex Berenson for a deep-dive discussion on the latest developments in public health policy, pharmaceutical industry trends, and higher education accountability. This hour delivers critical insights into the CDC’s recent decision to remove the COVID-19 vaccine from the immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women—a move Berenson argues is long overdue but still insufficient. The conversation critiques the FDA and CDC’s cautious approach, highlighting the political and institutional resistance to acknowledging past missteps in pandemic-era health guidance. Berenson also explores the broader implications of vaccine efficacy, particularly for adults under 65, and the lack of rigorous new clinical trials. He emphasizes the need for a complete reevaluation of mRNA vaccine protocols, citing the European model as a more scientifically grounded approach. The discussion touches on the role of public figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and new FDA leadership in pushing for reform, while also addressing the backlash from entrenched public health officials. The hour transitions into a compelling critique of the pharmaceutical industry’s evolution. Berenson outlines how the “golden age” of drug discovery—marked by affordable, effective small-molecule drugs like statins and blood pressure medications—has given way to an era dominated by expensive biologics with limited efficacy. He uses examples like Keytruda and GLP-1 drugs (e.g., Ozempic) to illustrate how Big Pharma now focuses on niche, high-cost treatments for complex conditions like cancer and autoimmune diseases, rather than broad-impact medications. Buck and Berenson also discuss the potential of emerging technologies like CRISPR and AI in drug development. Despite the hype, Berenson remains skeptical, noting that breakthroughs in gene editing and artificial intelligence have yet to deliver transformative results for complex diseases such as schizophrenia or autism. In the final segment, Buck shifts focus to the Trump administration’s push to cut federal funding to Harvard University. He argues that elite institutions like Harvard have become bastions of left-wing ideology and unconstitutional racial discrimination, citing the Supreme Court’s ruling against affirmative action. Buck defends the move as a necessary step to hold universities accountable for their admissions practices and ideological bias, especially in light of recent antisemitism controversies on campus. He draws parallels to NPR and other federally funded institutions, asserting that taxpayer dollars should not support organizations that defy constitutional principles.     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.

Being Anti-Trump is an Identity The state of the U.S. economy, immigration policy, and judicial activism, all through a conservative lens. Buck Sexton opens the hour by highlighting recent economic data, including a significantly reduced trade deficit, which he attributes to President Donald Trump’s tariff strategies. He argues that the mainstream media and economic “experts” underestimated the effectiveness of Trump-era trade policies, framing the current economic rebound as a vindication of those policies. The conversation then shifts to a major Supreme Court decision allowing the Trump administration to revoke humanitarian parole for over 530,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Buck critiques the judicial overreach of lower courts and emphasizes the temporary nature of parole, asserting that it was never intended to provide permanent residency. He also criticizes Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor for their dissenting opinions, framing them as partisan actors rather than impartial jurists. Trump Provides Clarity Another hot-button issue discussed is the Biden-era antisemitism controversy on college campuses, particularly at Harvard. The State Department is now reviewing the social media activity of foreign students for antisemitic content, raising constitutional questions about First Amendment protections for non-citizens on U.S. soil. Buck introduces his “skirmishing” strategy—a metaphor for how President Trump is tactically challenging entrenched institutions and activist judges. He argues that judicial activism has become a tool of the left to obstruct conservative governance, likening activist judges to “extra presidents” undermining the rule of law. Former FBI Special Agent, Nicole Parker A deep dive into the current state of the FBI under the leadership of President Donald Trump, featuring an in-depth interview with former FBI Special Agent and Fox News contributor Nicole Parker. The hour centers on the internal reform efforts underway at the Bureau, led by Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan, both of whom are described as committed patriots aligned with the Trump administration’s law-and-order agenda. Nicole Parker provides firsthand insight into the cultural and operational divide within the FBI, distinguishing between “FBI One”—agents focused on upholding the Constitution—and “FBI Two”—those accused of politically weaponizing the agency. She emphasizes the need for patience as the Trump administration works to root out entrenched bureaucratic issues that have festered since the Obama era, citing the failures of former Director Christopher Wray to enact meaningful change. The conversation also addresses the FBI’s shift away from social activism under the Biden administration, including a rollback of official Pride Month activities, signaling a renewed focus on core law enforcement duties. Parker applauds the transparency efforts of the current leadership, particularly their willingness to release information to Congress and the public, including updates on high-profile cases like Jeffrey Epstein’s death and the FBI’s role on January 6th. The hosts and Parker also explore the broader implications of political bias within federal agencies, the challenges of restoring public trust, and the importance of accountability in government service. They discuss the cultural transformation needed within the FBI and the intelligence community, drawing parallels to the CIA and the impact of diversity-focused hiring practices initiated during the Obama years. Actor Dean Cain on Pro-America Content Dean Cain on Little Angels: Actor Dean Cain joins the show to promote his upcoming family-friendly sports comedy Little Angels. Cain, who wrote, directed, and stars in the film, shares how the story—about a disgraced college football coach who ends up coaching a girls’ soccer team—teaches life lessons about teamwork, humility, and perseverance. The film is positioned as a wholesome, pro-America alternative in today’s entertainment landscape. Cultural Commentary and Conservative Filmmaking: Clay and Buck discuss the growing appetite for conservative values in pop culture. They explore the potential for independent, pro-American films and express interest in collaborating with Cain on future projects that reflect traditional American ideals. Tom Cruise and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning: A lively debate unfolds over the latest Mission: Impossible installment. Buck criticizes the film’s plot and execution, while Clay, even while on vacation, defends it as a thrilling, high-stakes battle against AI. Dean Cain offers a balanced take, praising Cruise’s work ethic while acknowledging the film’s imperfections.    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.
