Hour 2 - Rubio Rising
In Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts provide in-depth analysis of Iran's missile response to recent US military actions. They discuss how Iran's attack appears to have been deliberately telegraphed and minimal, with missiles being shot down without causing significant damage or casualties. Clay and Buck emphasize that this measured response likely stems from Iran's limited military capabilities and fear of further US retaliation. The hosts praise former President Trump's Saturday night address alongside Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and JD Vance, highlighting Rubio's compelling interview on CBS where he discussed Iran's nuclear ambitions and their deteriorating infrastructure. The conversation in Hour 2 also explores how authoritarian regimes like Iran respond primarily to shows of strength rather than diplomatic arguments. Clay and Buck suggest that the Biden administration's perceived weakness, particularly after the Afghanistan withdrawal, emboldened adversaries, contrasting this with Trump's approach to foreign policy. They examine how Iran's quality of life has declined dramatically despite its historical significance, questioning whether these conditions might eventually lead to internal challenges from the Iranian people. The hosts additionally touch on concerning developments in New York City politics, expressing alarm about potential leadership changes and their implications for America's largest city.

Hour 3 - Keep Calm, This is Not World War III
In hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts provided breaking news coverage of Iran's missile attack on a US base in Qatar. They reported that all Iranian missiles were intercepted with no American casualties, suggesting Iran had "effectively thrown in the towel" with what appeared to be a face-saving gesture following the weekend's impressive US B-2 bomber strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The hosts discussed how Iran seems increasingly isolated, with Saudi Arabia and Qatar both condemning the Iranian strikes, contradicting predictions that other nations would oppose US involvement. The conversation shifted to New York City politics, with Buck (a former New York resident who relocated to Florida) and Clay discussing the concerning mayoral situation where Andrew Cuomo might be the "best case scenario" despite his controversial COVID-19 record and resignation over sexual harassment allegations. They examined how high taxes in states like New York, California, and Illinois are driving wealthy taxpayers to more affordable states like Florida, Tennessee, and Texas. The hosts also addressed some criticism from Republican figures, particularly Marjorie Taylor Greene's claim that the US was entering "World War III," which they characterized as an overreaction to current events in the Middle East. The hour concluded with Clay thanking WTCM Newstalk 580, a new affiliate in Traverse City, Michigan.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck - Hour 1 - No Kings Nonsense
Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis broadcasting solo from Washington, D.C., while Buck Sexton is in Cannes, France, meeting with major advertisers—a testament to the show's growing influence and reach. Clay reflects on the show's evolution and the recent surge in advertiser interest, highlighting the disconnect between mainstream brands and the show's massive, engaged audience. The hour delves into a wide range of topics, beginning with Clay’s personal experience spending Father’s Day at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum with his son. He draws a powerful parallel between the Wright brothers’ pioneering spirit and the current stagnation in American innovation, emphasizing how figures like Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are reigniting the nation’s exploratory ambition—particularly in space travel and technological advancement. Clay contrasts two major events in Washington over the weekend: a military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and the “No Kings” protest opposing President Trump. He critiques the protestors’ historical ignorance, arguing that the military’s role in defeating monarchy and establishing American democracy is being overlooked. He underscores how President Trump’s celebration of American history and military tradition stands in stark contrast to the left’s emotionally driven, media-fueled opposition. The discussion also touches on the cultural and educational decline, using George Washington University’s decision to drop the “Colonials” mascot as a case study in historical misunderstanding. Clay argues that this trend reflects a broader societal failure to teach and preserve accurate American history. Throughout the hour, Clay emphasizes the importance of authenticity in leadership and media, asserting that President Trump’s transparency and consistency have strengthened his support, especially among younger voters. He also warns against political violence, condemning recent threats and attacks, and urges listeners to engage through peaceful, democratic means. The hour concludes with a preview of upcoming coverage on the escalating situation in the Middle East, particularly in Iran and Israel.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck - Hour 2 - Pussy Willow Padilla
Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a high-stakes, real-time analysis of breaking geopolitical developments, with a strong focus on President Donald Trump’s leadership amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. Broadcasting from Washington, D.C., Clay Travis covers the urgent situation unfolding in the White House Situation Room, where President Trump is reportedly meeting with top advisors to discuss Israel’s request for the U.S. to deploy bunker-busting bombs against Iran’s underground nuclear facilities. This hour underscores Trump’s decade-long commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, reinforcing his consistent foreign policy stance. The show features a compelling call-in segment with Iranian-American listeners, offering firsthand perspectives on the Iranian regime, public sentiment within Iran, and the potential consequences of U.S. military intervention. One caller passionately supports regime change and criticizes Western media portrayals of Iranian citizens, emphasizing the secular and modern aspirations of many Iranians. Clay also revisits the 2009 Green Movement and subsequent protests in Iran, highlighting the long-standing resistance to the Ayatollah’s rule. He discusses the strategic implications of U.S. air superiority over Iran and features expert commentary from a former weapons developer on the tactical use of bunker-buster bombs. The conversation explores the feasibility of dismantling Iran’s nuclear infrastructure node by node, emphasizing the complexity of Iran’s underground facilities. In domestic political news, Clay critiques Senator Alex Padilla’s emotional Senate floor speech following his controversial interruption of Governor Kristi Noem’s press conference. Travis contrasts Padilla’s reaction with President Trump’s stoic response during a recent assassination attempt, framing Trump as a symbol of masculine resilience and authenticity—a theme he argues resonates deeply with American men and younger voters. The hour also touches on the broader cultural and political divide, with commentary on Representative Ilhan Omar’s criticism of the U.S. and her comparison to Somalia, which Clay uses to question the sincerity of her grievances. Listeners are reminded of upcoming guests in Hour 3, including Senator Rand Paul and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who will provide updates on Capitol Hill developments and the “big beautiful bill” under debate. This episode is packed with real-time geopolitical analysis, strong conservative commentary, and listener engagement, making it a must-listen for those following U.S. foreign policy, national security, and the 2024 presidential election under President Donald Trump’s leadership.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck - Hour 3 - TN AG Jonathan Skrmetti on his SCOTUS Win
Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and timely discussion centered on major legal, political, and cultural developments shaping America today. Clay Travis, hosting solo while Buck Sexton attends the Cannes Advertising Festival, opens the hour with a deep dive into a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld Tennessee’s law restricting gender transition surgeries for minors. Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti joins the program to break down the 6-3 decision, emphasizing the legal, medical, and cultural implications of the ruling. Skrmetti highlights the flawed science behind pediatric gender treatments, the growing international skepticism of such procedures, and the potential for future civil lawsuits from detransitioners. The conversation also explores the broader national impact of the ruling, including how states may handle cross-border medical procedures and the legal complexities surrounding parental rights and medical consent. Skrmetti underscores the importance of evidence-based policymaking over ideological influence, and the need for compassion and clarity in addressing gender dysphoria in youth. Later in the hour, Clay welcomes U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana to discuss the progress of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a legislative package aimed at reforming student loans, increasing access to technical education, and reducing federal spending. Cassidy shares insights on bipartisan negotiations, the importance of long-term fiscal responsibility, and his optimism for passing meaningful reforms. The senator also weighs in on President Donald Trump’s handling of Iran, Israel, and national security, praising the administration’s firm stance on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. In a lighter segment, Clay engages with listener feedback on language used during the show, sparking a humorous exchange about politically correct terminology and free speech.
