The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the political and cultural influence of former First Lady Michelle Obama, with Buck Sexton leading the conversation while Clay Travis is on vacation. This hour is packed with sharp political commentary, media analysis, and personal insights, making it a must-listen for conservative audiences and political news followers. Buck opens the hour by revisiting his long-standing prediction that Michelle Obama would never run for president, arguing that the media-manufactured image of her as an untouchable cultural icon has begun to unravel. He critiques the media’s role in creating what he calls the “cult of Michelle Obama,” comparing it to the idolization of figures like the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Buck references Michelle Obama’s recent podcast appearance, highlighting a controversial quote where she stated that “the least important thing” a woman’s reproductive system does is produce life. He calls this statement “heinous” and “perverse,” emphasizing its potential negative impact on young women and public discourse. The discussion also touches on Michelle Obama’s past comments, including her infamous 2008 remark about being proud of America “for the first time” when Barack Obama was nominated. Buck uses this to underscore what he sees as her long-standing disdain for traditional American values. In a broader critique of political spouses, Buck shifts focus to former First Lady Jill Biden, accusing her of enabling President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and misleading the American public. He argues that Jill Biden played a central role in perpetuating the illusion of Joe Biden’s fitness for office, calling her actions “reprehensible” and likening her influence to that of a “shadow president.” Karoline Leavitt’s recent comments at a White House press briefing are cited to support this claim. Throughout the hour, Buck weaves in personal anecdotes, including his CIA background in West Africa and his upcoming book, while also engaging with listener feedback. He reads emails and plays a podcast listener’s voice message questioning Michelle Obama’s controversial statement, reinforcing the show’s interactive and community-driven format.    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.

He emphasizes the need for constructive criticism within the conservative movement and shares insights from WH Senior Advisor Stephen Miller, who defends the bill’s merits. A significant portion of the hour is dedicated to the ongoing controversy surrounding President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt argues that Biden’s condition was deliberately concealed by the mainstream media and Democratic operatives, framing it as one of the most significant political cover-ups in modern U.S. history. They call for accountability and congressional investigations into who was truly making decisions in the Biden White House, with speculation pointing to figures like Senator Elizabeth Warren and Ron Klain. Trump vs. Harvard The conversation also touches on the Trump vs. Harvard legal battle, which Buck frames as a broader cultural fight against elite institutions. He supports Trump’s efforts to challenge the ideological dominance of Ivy League schools and praises the president’s willingness to confront entrenched power structures. 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.

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson voices his support for raising the debt ceiling only if it includes significant spending cuts and a return to pre-pandemic budget levels. Buck also references insights from Stephen Miller, who outlines the bill’s major components: historic welfare and tax reforms, aggressive energy exploration, and strong border security measures—all while aiming to reduce the deficit. However, Buck remains skeptical, noting that even with these reforms, the scale of the national debt ($36–37 trillion) and annual deficits over $1 trillion pose serious long-term risks. AL Sen.

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.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political analysis, personal anecdotes, and listener engagement, anchored by Buck Sexton as Clay Travis remains on vacation. This hour opens with a heartfelt story about Buck’s Australian Labradoodle, highlighting the emotional intelligence of dogs and their ability to comfort during illness—a relatable and touching segment for pet lovers. The conversation quickly pivots to pressing political issues, with a deep dive into the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill.” Buck critiques the limitations of executive power, the partisan nature of judicial opposition to President Donald Trump, and the structural challenges in Congress that hinder meaningful fiscal reform. He emphasizes the urgency of addressing the national debt, warning of a looming fiscal crisis if entitlement and automatic spending remain untouched. Key political figures are featured prominently in this hour. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson voices his support for raising the debt ceiling only if it includes significant spending cuts and a return to pre-pandemic budget levels. Buck also references insights from Stephen Miller, who outlines the bill’s major components: historic welfare and tax reforms, aggressive energy exploration, and strong border security measures—all while aiming to reduce the deficit. However, Buck remains skeptical, noting that even with these reforms, the scale of the national debt ($36–37 trillion) and annual deficits over $1 trillion pose serious long-term risks. Listener calls add depth to the discussion, with one caller arguing that Trump should have pursued smaller, targeted bills to force Democrats into clear voting positions. Buck defends Trump’s strategy as pragmatic, given the current congressional makeup and procedural constraints like the Senate’s Byrd Rule, which limits what can be included in reconciliation bills. The hour also features an interview with Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, who discusses the Senate’s role in shaping the bill, his concerns about lingering Green New Deal subsidies, and his upcoming run for governor of Alabama. Tuberville stresses the need for fiscal discipline, entitlement reform, and a balanced approach to energy policy.

The segment closes with more listener stories, including a powerful account of a dog detecting a woman’s breast cancer before diagnosis—reinforcing the earlier theme of animal intuition and emotional support.     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.
