The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off from Miami with Clay and Buck recapping a festive holiday party before diving into major headlines shaping politics, culture, and sports. The hour opens with breaking news from the world of college football: University of Michigan offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore has been fired and faces serious criminal charges after an alleged violent incident involving a former subordinate. Clay details the shocking reports of Moore’s arrest and the potential arraignment, underscoring how this story could dominate national sports and news cycles. From sports, the conversation pivots to legal and political battles in blue jurisdictions, focusing on the difficulty of securing grand jury indictments against high-profile Democrats like New York Attorney General Letitia James. Buck and Clay analyze why grand juries in deep-blue areas often refuse to indict, even in cases with clear evidence, and praise attorney Lindsay Halligan for her rare success in obtaining indictments against figures such as James Comey and Letitia James. They argue that partisan bias has fractured the justice system and propose reforms, including allowing defendants to move federal cases to their home states for fairer trials. The hour then shifts to Gavin Newsom’s escalating online feud with Elon Musk, which has gone viral. Newsom, now the leading prediction-market favorite for the 2028 Democratic nomination, sparked outrage by saying he wants “more trans kids” and mocking Musk with a personal jab: “We’re sorry your daughter hates you.” Musk fired back, blaming the “woke mind virus” for harming his child. Clay and Buck dissect the political and moral implications of Newsom’s stance on transgender issues, warning that Democrats’ embrace of radical gender policies—especially for minors—could become a major liability. They highlight the growing backlash against gender surgeries for children, call for federal protections, and predict future class-action lawsuits against hospitals and doctors involved in these procedures. Buck connects this cultural debate to broader societal concerns, citing historical parallels and ethical principles like “do no harm.” The hosts also note disturbing patterns of violence linked to extremist activism, referencing the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk and the symbolism in his courtroom appearance. They argue that the left’s fixation on identity politics has replaced climate change as its dominant ideological crusade, with devastating consequences for children. Hour 1 also features lighter moments, including holiday anecdotes from Buck’s family, Clay’s bourbon-fueled party recap, and listener calls suggesting humorous nicknames for Gavin Newsom, such as “Greasy Gavin McNewcomb.” The segment closes with NFL picks and playful banter, blending serious analysis with the show’s signature conversational style.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a high-stakes mix of foreign policy developments, energy economics, and a shocking sports scandal dominating national headlines. Buck and Clay begin with breaking news on escalating tensions in the Caribbean as the United States seizes a Venezuelan oil tanker, signaling a major escalation in President Donald Trump’s push for regime change against Nicolás Maduro. The hosts detail how Venezuela’s economy—dependent on oil exports and narcotics—is collapsing under U.S. sanctions and military pressure, including 22 strikes on narco-trafficking boats resulting in 80 traffickers killed. They analyze Trump’s strategy, which includes tightening sanctions, seizing oil shipments, and possibly deploying targeted airstrikes or drone operations, while emphasizing that Maduro’s days in power appear numbered. The discussion explores the geopolitical ripple effects, including Cuba’s vulnerability as it relies on Venezuelan oil and the broader implications for global energy markets. Buck argues that stabilizing Venezuela could significantly lower oil and gas prices, reducing shipping costs and easing inflation for American consumers. Clay highlights the irony of climate activists opposing U.S. energy production while forcing reliance on “dirty” foreign oil, and the hosts underscore how communism has turned a resource-rich nation into an economic disaster. They also touch on Chevron’s stake in Venezuelan assets and the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to an exiled Venezuelan dissident who credited Trump for supporting her escape. From global crises, the hour pivots to a major domestic scandal: former University of Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore faces felony charges after being fired for an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate. According to prosecutors, Moore allegedly broke into the woman’s apartment, threatened suicide in front of her, and made chilling statements like “My blood is on your hands.” Clay and Buck dissect the legal and personal fallout, noting Moore’s $13 million contract termination, his marriage, three young children, and the likelihood of a plea deal combined with psychiatric treatment. They debate workplace ethics, sexual harassment laws, and whether the assistant involved should also face consequences, while callers weigh in on accountability and gender dynamics in high-profile scandals. The segment closes with updates on cameras being allowed in the courtroom for the Tyler Robinson case, the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, and teases upcoming analysis on Somali fraud allegations and immigration data trends.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show closes out the week with a dynamic mix of immigration analysis, economic trends, and lively cultural commentary. The hour kicks off with guest Ryan Girdusky, who shares exclusive insights from CDC birth data revealing a sharp decline in births to foreign-born mothers across 41 states. This trend suggests that mass deportations and self-deportation under President Donald Trump’s immigration policies are working, with an estimated 2 to 2.5 million illegal immigrants leaving the U.S. in 2025. Ryan explains how enforcement measures, combined with pending Supreme Court action on birthright citizenship, could further curb illegal immigration and end birth tourism in hotspots like New York, Miami, and California. The discussion highlights the broader impact of immigration enforcement on housing affordability, noting that fewer illegal immigrants reduces demand for homes and rentals. Buck and Clay connect this to recent reports showing a 2.5% drop in home prices and four consecutive months of declining rental rates, signaling relief for young Americans seeking housing. Ryan also critiques outdated immigration laws prioritizing family reunification and urges reforms to strengthen merit-based entry. On the economic front, the trio evaluates Trump’s performance on affordability, praising lower gas prices and reshoring efforts while calling for strategic use of government contracts to boost domestic manufacturing. From policy to pop culture, the hour shifts gears with a fiery red-carpet moment featuring Gene Simmons of KISS, who blasts media obsession with political opinions and delivers a classic one-liner: “I’ve got a hot chick with me and I’m set.” Clay and Buck then dive into humorous listener talkbacks on topics ranging from wrapping paper etiquette to rose wine stereotypes, sparking playful debates about holiday traditions and gift-giving. The conversation heats up further with spirited gun talk, as Buck defends his love for Glock and Staccato pistols while callers champion the classic 1911 handgun, turning the segment into a lighthearted showdown over firearm preferences. The hosts wrap up with reflections on AI’s growing role in media, sharing behind-the-scenes anecdotes about audiobook recording and future tech that could replicate voices for interactive experiences. They caution listeners about potential scams targeting seniors and discuss the cultural implications of AI-driven personalization. Closing out the hour, Clay previews his upcoming Fox News appearance and teases next week’s lineup of guest hosts, ensuring fans stay connected during the holiday season.

Dr. Nicole Saphier breaks down the Senate’s rejection of both parties’ proposals to expand ACA subsidies—and explains why she believes lawmakers finally made the right call. Dr. Saphier offers a sharp critique of the Affordable Care Act, arguing that it has empowered insurance companies while driving up costs and reducing care quality for everyday Americans. She outlines a conservative, patient-centered path forward, including targeted temporary subsidies, expanded Health Savings Accounts, true catastrophic coverage, and the restoration of physician-owned medical centers. With clarity and candor, Dr. Saphier makes the case that only market-driven reforms and a rollback of ACA mandates can restore choice, affordability, and access across the U.S. healthcare system.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this bonus episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, hosts Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss:  European Union vs. Elon Musk and Free Speech The EU fined Elon Musk’s platform X (formerly Twitter) $140 million under the Digital Services Act (DSA) for failing to comply with transparency and moderation requirements. Ben and the Senator argue this is an attack on free speech, claiming the EU wants to impose censorship globally, including on American platforms. They highlight a letter from the EU in August 2024 urging Musk to censor content related to Donald Trump’s interview, framing it as an attempt to silence political discourse. The discussion emphasizes the contrast between U.S. First Amendment protections and Europe’s regulatory approach, warning of potential ripple effects on American free speech. There’s a call for the Trump administration to retaliate with sanctions against the EU, such as tariffs, to prevent foreign influence on U.S. speech norms. 2. Tucker Carlson’s Ties to Qatar Tucker Carlson’s visit to Qatar, where he interviewed the Prime Minister during the Doha Forum. Ben and Senator Cruz criticize Carlson for allegedly failing to ask tough questions about Qatar’s: Support for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Funding of anti-American and anti-Semitic propaganda, including protests on U.S. campuses. Lobbying efforts in Washington and influence campaigns targeting conservative figures. Restrictive policies on women’s rights. They express concern over Carlson reportedly buying property in Qatar, framing it as aligning with a regime hostile to U.S. interests. The commentary portrays Carlson as sympathetic to authoritarian leaders (similar to his interviews with Putin and Iran’s president), undermining American values and Trump’s foreign policy.

Buck Flying Solo The discussion opens with the economic outlook under President Donald Trump’s second term, emphasizing persistent affordability issues and inflationary pressures that remain despite strong stock market performance. Buck highlights the lingering impact of COVID-era shutdowns and stimulus spending, noting that prices for essentials like housing, healthcare, and education remain high. He cites recent trade deficit improvements as evidence of Trump’s “America First” trade policies and tariff strategy, while warning that Democrats will weaponize price discontent in upcoming elections.  Insights from former SEC Chair Jay Clayton on the 22% price surge under Biden, framing affordability as the defining economic challenge. Buck stresses that Republicans must go beyond blaming Biden-era inflation and articulate clear solutions, including boosting supply and efficiency rather than resorting to destructive price controls—a policy he compares to Venezuela’s economic collapse. The Unaffordable Care Act Buck also addresses healthcare policy battles, revealing dueling Senate bills on Obamacare subsidies and criticizing Democrats’ push to extend Affordable Care Act provisions, which he argues have made healthcare far less affordable. He warns that rising premiums and taxpayer-funded coverage for illegal immigrants remain underreported but critical issues.  Buck calls for unity on the right, rejecting intramural squabbles and urging focus on core priorities: fixing costs, securing the border, and countering media misinformation. He promotes his upcoming book Manufacturing Delusion, which explores propaganda and political manipulation, framing it as essential reading for understanding today’s ideological battles. The Truth About Immigration Buck Sexton leads a candid discussion on the breaking news that a federal judge has ordered the release of Ilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member previously detained by ICE. This controversial ruling sparks debate about the legal wrangling surrounding deportations, the Supreme Court’s involvement, and the Trump administration’s efforts to treat MS-13 as a foreign terrorist organization. Buck frames the immigration crisis as a systemic failure spanning decades, criticizing both Democrats and establishment Republicans for enabling what he calls a “third-world invasion.” He cites expert commentary from Steven Miller, who argues that unchecked immigration impacts every major policy issue—from education and healthcare to crime and the federal deficit. Miller’s analysis underscores how subtracting illegal immigration from these metrics would dramatically improve outcomes, revealing the hidden costs of current policies. We Have to Draw a Line The conversation expands to Trump’s stance on merit-based immigration, including his blunt remarks about prioritizing immigrants from high-functioning countries like Norway and Denmark over those from unstable regions plagued by crime and terrorism. Buck explores the cultural implications of mass migration, questioning whether America can maintain its identity amid tens of millions of illegal immigrants—estimated at 20 to 30 million today. He warns that Democrats’ push for amnesty and open borders could permanently alter the nation’s political and social fabric. Listeners hear Buck dismantle common pro-immigration narratives, challenging the notion that assimilation is automatic. He points to examples in Europe, where large migrant populations have resisted integration, fueling crime and cultural clashes. Buck emphasizes that shared language, law, and culture are essential for national unity, advocating for stronger enforcement and a slowdown in immigration to preserve American values. The hour also touches on DHS Secretary Noem’s testimony on Capitol Hill, where she defends Trump’s immigration policies against Democratic attacks. Buck critiques media coverage, particularly CNN’s framing of the issue, and calls for honesty about historical immigration patterns and their consequences. He argues that America’s foreign-born population has reached unsustainable levels, making assimilation and economic stability increasingly difficult.
