The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers sharp political analysis and breaking geopolitical updates. The segment opens by revisiting the fallout from John Bolton’s indictment on 18 felony counts, noting even MSNBC admits the charges look grim for the former National Security Advisor. Clay and Buck encourage listeners to catch Hour 1 for the full breakdown before pivoting to the latest political drama in New York City’s mayoral race. The hosts dissect polling data showing Zohran Momani with an 18-point lead, making an Andrew Cuomo comeback nearly impossible unless Curtis Sliwa exits the race. Buck argues that Sliwa’s continued candidacy splits the anti-Momani vote, virtually guaranteeing a far-left victory. Clay controversially suggests that a Momani win could benefit Republicans nationally by highlighting progressive failures, potentially boosting Elise Stefanik’s chances against Gov. Kathy Hochul in 2026. They spotlight Stefanik’s fiery statement labeling Momani a “jihadist” for his pro-Hamas stance, noting the reluctance of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to endorse him. The conversation shifts to public safety and policing, analyzing Momani’s hollow apology to NYPD officers and his proposal to make public transit free by hiking taxes on top earners and corporations. Clay and Buck argue that safety and cleanliness—not cost—are the real issues plaguing New York’s transit system. Midway through the hour, the show pivots to foreign policy and national security, featuring an in-depth interview with former Navy SEAL and Clay & Buck Podcast Network host David Rutherford. Rutherford provides expert insight into escalating tensions in Venezuela, where U.S. forces have conducted kinetic strikes on narco-terrorist boats linked to Mexican cartels. He details China’s $60 billion investment in Venezuela, cartel bounties on U.S. border agents, and the likelihood of joint special operations missions ramping up.  Rutherford predicts Maduro may seek a deal to retain power but warns of growing pressure for UN-supervised elections and U.S. leverage over Venezuela’s oil industry. The discussion also touches on cartel strategies, potential civil unrest, and the geopolitical tug-of-war involving China and BRICS nations. The hour closes with a caller emphasizing the entrenched corruption in Venezuela, naming narco kingpin Diosdado Cabello as a key player alongside Maduro. Clay and Buck underscore how these developments tie into falling oil and gas prices, now at their lowest since 2021—a major economic win that’s flying under the radar.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers major geopolitical updates, hard-hitting national security analysis, and insider revelations about the FBI. The hour opens with breaking news from the White House as President Donald Trump meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to push for a ceasefire and a lasting peace agreement in the Russia-Ukraine war.  Clay and Buck discuss Trump’s role as mediator between Zelensky and Vladimir Putin, comparing the dynamic to high-stakes negotiations and emphasizing Trump’s unique ability to command respect from global adversaries. Zelensky’s remarks underscore the need for security guarantees and bilateral agreements, while Trump signals a potential diplomatic breakthrough. The conversation shifts to economic leverage in the conflict, with Trump announcing that India will stop buying Russian oil, a move that could cripple Moscow’s ability to skirt sanctions. Clay and Buck explain how India’s previous role as a middleman for Russian energy exports helped Putin evade penalties, and why cutting off this lifeline could reshape the war’s trajectory. Trump also hints at military deterrence, mentioning Tomahawk missiles as part of U.S. support for Ukraine, while stressing his goal to end the war without escalating to direct strikes. The hour then pivots to Latin America, where Trump delivers a blunt warning to Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, signaling zero tolerance for narco-terrorism and cartel-linked regimes. Clay and Buck connect this stance to the broader war on drugs and rising public demand for aggressive action against fentanyl trafficking. In the second half of the hour, former FBI agent Nicole Parker joins the show to discuss her explosive new book, The Two FBIs: The Bravery and Betrayal I Saw in My Time at the Bureau. Parker calls the John Bolton indictment “solid” and praises the current DOJ and FBI leadership under Pam Bondi and Cash Patel for restoring equal enforcement of the law. She details the internal “civil war” between rank-and-file agents (FBI One) and politically weaponized factions (FBI Two), exposing how diversity initiatives and partisan agendas undermined the Bureau’s mission.  Parker recounts shocking stories, including agents refusing to participate in the Mar-a-Lago raid, CNN being tipped off, and the tragic death of her best friend during a child exploitation operation—while SWAT resources were diverted to January 6th cases. Her insights raise critical questions about whether cultural reforms at the FBI can withstand future political swings. The hour closes with a political twist: Barack Obama releases an endorsement video for Abigail Spanberger in Virginia’s governor race, signaling potential Democratic concerns about turnout and minority voter support. Clay and Buck interpret this as a sign of vulnerability for Democrats and a possible advantage for GOP candidates like Winsome Sears and Jason Miyares.

In this hard-hitting BONUS episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson pull back the curtain on the real reason behind the government shutdown: Democrat obstruction. Led by Senator Chuck Schumer, the Left is accused of deliberately keeping the government closed to push a radical agenda — including taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. Cruz and Ferguson highlight how Republicans are fighting to reopen the government and protect American workers, while Democrats play politics at the expense of federal employees and national security. President Trump is commended for his decisive leadership, using Defense Department funds to ensure our service members are paid — a move that exposes the Left’s failed strategy. The episode also covers the upcoming “No Kings Rally,” a far-left protest in D.C., which Cruz suggests is part of the Democrats’ broader anti-Trump narrative. He predicts the shutdown will only end when moderate Democrats stand up to their party’s extreme wing. In a moving second half, Cruz honors Charlie Kirk during his posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony. With heartfelt reflections on Kirk’s legacy, Cruz shares how Erica Kirk’s public forgiveness of her husband’s killer was a powerful act of Christian grace. Kirk is remembered as a bold voice for truth, freedom, and faith — a modern-day martyr compared to Lincoln and MLK.

Trump is Feelin' It President Donald Trump’s high-stakes diplomacy, including his call with Vladimir Putin and efforts to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine. They analyze Trump’s strategy to pressure Russia by potentially supplying Ukraine with long-range weapons capable of striking inside Russian territory, and the economic leverage involving oil and gas markets. The conversation expands to Trump’s simultaneous trade showdown with China, highlighting looming 100% tariffs on Chinese goods and the global battle over rare earth minerals critical to modern technology. The hosts explore whether Trump can realistically achieve a ceasefire in Ukraine, the risks of escalation—including nuclear threats—and the role of frozen Russian assets in Europe as a potential game-changer. They also touch on U.S. defense production challenges, noting America’s limited capacity to ramp up weapons manufacturing compared to Russia’s reserves, and how winter conditions in Ukraine could stall battlefield advances and open a window for negotiations.

They dismantle myths of “genocide” and “starvation” in Gaza, underscore Hamas’s use of civilians as human shields, and stress the moral clarity of Israel’s position in the conflict. The conversation pivots to major breaking news: President Donald Trump’s tweet summarizing his lengthy call with Vladimir Putin. Trump described the exchange as “very productive,” noting Putin congratulated him on Middle East peace efforts and agreed to high-level talks aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Clay and Buck analyze the geopolitical stakes, including Trump’s upcoming Oval Office meeting with President Zelensky, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s role in negotiations, and Hungary as a potential summit location. Mamdani is Wrong About Everything New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum. Clay and Buck critique Mamdani’s evasive answers on whether Hamas should disarm, comparing his rhetorical style to Abigail Spanberger’s non-answers. They warn that Mamdani’s progressive proposals—such as rent freezes and city-run grocery stores—reflect economic illiteracy that worsens housing affordability and cost-of-living crises. The hosts draw parallels to California’s regulatory failures and Canada’s housing costs, arguing government overreach drives prices higher. Democrats Have Become a Slur President Donald Trump’s multi-hour call with Vladimir Putin, which Trump says will lead to high-level advisor meetings and a future summit in Budapest aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Clay and Buck examine Trump’s diplomatic momentum following the Gaza peace deal and discuss whether his approach could reshape global negotiations. The conversation shifts to domestic politics, spotlighting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum.

Clay and Buck critique Mamdani’s progressive agenda—tax hikes, rent freezes, and city-run grocery stores—arguing these policies would harm New York’s economy and worsen affordability. They also highlight Mamdani’s recent apology to police for past “defund” rhetoric, framing it as political damage control.

Shifting to U.S. politics, Clay and Buck break down a bombshell Axios report revealing that top Democrats are plotting a 2028 primary challenge against Senator John Fetterman. They play clips from Fetterman’s recent NewsNation town hall, where he criticized Democratic extremism and defended Trump voters as “not Nazis,” sparking backlash from the party’s progressive base.  The discussion frames Fetterman as a rare Democrat willing to reject divisive rhetoric, drawing comparisons to Tulsi Gabbard, and examines how this internal feud could fracture Democrats in Pennsylvania—a pivotal battleground state. Additional topics include AOC’s claim that Republicans are misleading young men with “toxic masculinity,” the tightening New York City mayoral race featuring candidate Momani, and signs of a competitive Virginia governor’s race prompting Barack Obama to campaign for Democrats. Clay and Buck also revisit media narratives around Israel and Gaza, debunking exaggerated claims of “genocide” and “starvation,” and calling out CNN’s Christiane Amanpour for controversial remarks about hostages.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful mix of political analysis, cultural commentary, and listener engagement. The hour opens with updates on President Donald Trump’s multi-hour call with Vladimir Putin, which Trump says will lead to high-level advisor meetings and a future summit in Budapest aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Clay and Buck examine Trump’s diplomatic momentum following the Gaza peace deal and discuss whether his approach could reshape global negotiations. The conversation shifts to domestic politics, spotlighting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum. Mamdani refused to credit Trump for the Gaza peace agreement, calling it “too early,” and offered vague answers on Hamas disarmament.

They also highlight Mamdani’s recent apology to police for past “defund” rhetoric, framing it as political damage control. Next, the hosts dive into Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s CNN town hall comments on “toxic masculinity” and Republican success online. AOC claimed conservatives radicalize young men through “insecure masculinity,” sparking a broader discussion on gender politics. Clay and Buck argue Democrats have alienated young men by vilifying masculinity, contrasting today’s cultural climate with the meritocratic ideals of past generations.  They explore how societal shifts—from the rise of social media to the MeToo movement—have fueled resentment among men and contributed to their migration toward the GOP. Buck underscores masculinity’s role in building civilization, while Clay emphasizes the difference between equality and sameness, warning that efforts to blur gender roles have left both men and women dissatisfied. Hour 3 also features listener calls, including a mother explaining why her 21-year-old son voted for Trump after years of being told he was “evil” for being male. The discussion expands into historical context, with Clay noting that slavery existed across all civilizations and that modern narratives often distort history for political gain. Adding a lighter twist, Clay and Buck engage with a caller who completed the Catalina Island swim, sparking a humorous yet fascinating conversation about night swims, shark encounters, and ocean challenges. They debate whether Clay could handle an Alcatraz swim and share anecdotes about great white sightings near Manhattan Beach, blending serious topics with entertaining banter.
