Hour 3 - Shady Lady
Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into explosive political and cultural stories shaping the national conversation. The hour begins with a deep look at the New Jersey governor’s race, where Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill faces scrutiny over allegations of questionable stock trades. Clay and Buck break down reports that Sherrill’s net worth skyrocketed from a few million to roughly $12 million while serving in Congress, despite an annual salary of $174,000. They discuss her awkward response to Charlemagne tha God’s question about making $7 million in trades and explore the broader issue of insider trading in Congress, calling for mandatory blind trusts or index fund requirements to restore public trust. The conversation then pivots to breaking news: a guilty verdict in the second assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. The hosts detail how the would-be assassin set up a sniper position at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course just weeks after the Butler, Pennsylvania rally shooting. They highlight the alarming rise in left-wing political violence, citing a new Atlantic report showing far-left attacks now outnumber those by the far right for the first time in decades. Clay and Buck argue that incendiary rhetoric from Democrats—such as Kamala Harris comparing Trump to a “communist dictator” during her Rachel Maddow interview—fuels this dangerous trend. The hour also covers media and cultural flashpoints, including Disney+ hiking subscription prices amid ongoing backlash over Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension and return. Clay and Buck note how streaming costs now rival or exceed traditional cable bills, undermining the original promise of savings. They also tackle the bizarre downfall of former media star Keith Olbermann, who issued an apology after a tweet interpreted as a violent threat against CNN’s Scott Jennings. The hosts reflect on Olbermann’s trajectory from ESPN icon to MSNBC anchor to controversial figure, contrasting his past influence with his current controversies. Listener calls and talkbacks close out the hour, featuring reactions to congressional stock trading scandals, Trump’s salary donation, and the tightening New Jersey governor’s race, where Republican Jack Ciattarelli is polling neck-and-neck with Sherrill. The segment ends with shocking courtroom drama: the convicted Trump assassin reportedly attempted self-harm after the verdict.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Sep 22 2025
Charlie's Memorial Clay and Buck reflect on the memorial event for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, whose recent assassination has galvanized the conservative movement. There was a massive turnout in Phoenix — nearly 90,000 attendees — with impactful speeches delivered by Vice President JD Vance, President Donald Trump, Senior White House Advisor Steven Miller, and Charlie's widow, Erika Kirk, whose message of forgiveness and revival resonated deeply across the country. Erika Kirk’s speech, delivered just 48 hours after her husband’s death, is highlighted as the most compelling moment of the day. Her biblical reference and refusal to incite violence underscore the conservative response to tragedy—marked by peace, unity, and spiritual renewal. Clay and Buck contrast this with leftist reactions to political violence, criticizing the media’s silence and the justification of riots as “the voice of the voiceless.” Don't Forget This Clay and Buck discuss the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh by a trans-identifying individual, noting the lack of media coverage and accountability, and tying it to the leaked Roe v. Wade decision. Kimmel Comeback? Clay and Buck discuss the controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from ABC, exploring the intersection of media bias, corporate strategy, and political influence. The hosts argue that Kimmel’s suspension was not a principled stand against offensive content, but rather a calculated move by Disney CEO Bob Iger to curry favor with the Trump administration. This theory is tied to Disney’s reported interest in acquiring the NFL Network, a deal that would require regulatory approval and political goodwill. The conversation also highlights the role of affiliate networks like Nexstar and Sinclair, which may choose not to carry Kimmel’s show even if ABC reinstates him, further complicating the media landscape. The hosts draw comparisons to past cancellations of conservative figures such as Roseanne Barr and Gina Carano, both of whom were removed from Disney projects for controversial speech. They argue that the selective outrage and inconsistent enforcement of speech standards reveal a deep ideological bias within corporate media. Clay and Buck emphasize their support for free speech across the board, even defending figures they personally disagree with, and criticize the hypocrisy of those who only defend speech when it aligns with their politics. New Face of Dem Party? Political analysis continues with a breakdown of polling data showing Republicans leading Democrats on key issues like the economy, immigration, and crime. The hosts highlight the media’s failure to cover the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, noting the suspect’s transgender identity and linking it to a disturbing pattern of transgender-related violence in recent high-profile cases. They criticize the Biden administration’s vague responses and lack of transparency on the issue, arguing that the media and political establishment are ignoring a growing trend. The show also features a viral moment from Virginia Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, who dodges a direct question about her stance on transgender bathroom and locker room policies. The hosts praise the reporter, Nick Minock, for pressing the issue and use the exchange to underscore what they see as the Democratic Party’s refusal to engage honestly on cultural issues. They argue that if a politician won’t answer a basic question about gender policy, they can’t be trusted on anything else.

Hour 1 - I Forgive You
Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and emotionally charged breakdown of the memorial event for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, whose recent assassination has galvanized the conservative movement. Clay and Buck reflect on the massive turnout in Phoenix—nearly 90,000 attendees—and the impactful speeches delivered by Vice President JD Vance, President Donald Trump, Senior White House Advisor Steven Miller, and Charlie's widow, Erica Kirk, whose message of forgiveness and revival resonated deeply across the country. Erica Kirk’s speech, delivered just 48 hours after her husband’s death, is highlighted as the most compelling moment of the day. Her biblical reference and refusal to incite violence underscore the conservative response to tragedy—marked by peace, unity, and spiritual renewal. Clay and Buck contrast this with leftist reactions to political violence, criticizing the media’s silence and the justification of riots as “the voice of the voiceless.” The hosts also dive into broader political commentary, including California’s controversial law barring ICE agents from wearing masks, which they label “lawless” and contemptuous of immigration enforcement. They discuss the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh by a trans-identifying individual, noting the lack of media coverage and accountability, and tying it to the leaked Roe v. Wade decision. Kamala Harris’s new book becomes a focal point of debate. Buck pre-orders the memoir, promising to dissect its “score-settling” tone. The hosts mock its reception and suggest it as a punishment for fantasy football losers. They also speculate on Harris’s political future, with Stephen A. Smith declaring her career “over,” while Clay argues she may still run due to personal ambition and a perceived lack of alternatives. Gavin Newsom’s refusal to return Harris’s call during her campaign is cited as symbolic of intra-party rivalry.

Hour 2 - Kimmel Comeback?
Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a sharp and layered analysis of the controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from ABC, exploring the intersection of media bias, corporate strategy, and political influence. The hosts argue that Kimmel’s suspension was not a principled stand against offensive content, but rather a calculated move by Disney CEO Bob Iger to curry favor with the Trump administration. This theory is tied to Disney’s reported interest in acquiring the NFL Network, a deal that would require regulatory approval and political goodwill. The conversation also highlights the role of affiliate networks like Nexstar and Sinclair, which may choose not to carry Kimmel’s show even if ABC reinstates him, further complicating the media landscape. The hosts draw comparisons to past cancellations of conservative figures such as Roseanne Barr and Gina Carano, both of whom were removed from Disney projects for controversial speech. They argue that the selective outrage and inconsistent enforcement of speech standards reveal a deep ideological bias within corporate media. Clay and Buck emphasize their support for free speech across the board, even defending figures they personally disagree with, and criticize the hypocrisy of those who only defend speech when it aligns with their politics. The hour also features listener engagement, including a call from Cindy in upstate New York, a lifelong Democrat who voted for President Trump in 2024 and now identifies as an “enlightened Democrat.” Her story reflects a broader trend of political realignment among listeners, which the hosts proudly attribute to the influence of their show. Another caller shares a moving account of attending the Charlie Kirk Memorial, describing the emotional impact of the event and a viral moment featuring Chris Toman singing “Hallelujah” acapella. Throughout the segment, Clay and Buck reflect on the importance of personal loyalty, especially in the public eye. They discuss Adam Carolla’s friendship with Jimmy Kimmel despite political differences, and preview Carolla’s upcoming appearance in Hour 3 to share his perspective on the controversy. The hosts also share humorous anecdotes about their mothers defending them online and their kids mocking their fashion choices, adding levity and relatability to the broadcast. The hour closes with breaking news about Bruce Pearl stepping down as Auburn’s head basketball coach, with speculation that he may run for Senate in Alabama. Pearl is described as a prominent Jewish Republican voice, and his potential candidacy is framed as a significant development in the political landscape. The hosts underscore the need for ideological diversity in media and politics, warning that Disney’s current trajectory risks alienating both sides of the political spectrum.

Hour 3 - Adam Carolla Calls In
In Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts welcome comedian and media personality Adam Carolla for an in-depth conversation about the ongoing controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from ABC. Carolla, a longtime friend of Kimmel and an outspoken conservative in Hollywood, offers a unique perspective on the situation, emphasizing that while Kimmel may face professional consequences, he remains financially secure and creatively active. Carolla argues that the broader implications of the controversy lie in the cultural and corporate shifts occurring in post-Trump America, where companies like Disney are beginning to recognize the economic power of conservative consumers. The discussion explores the tension between free speech and corporate accountability, with Carolla defending the right to speak freely while acknowledging that employers also have the right to respond. He notes Kimmel’s reluctance to apologize and his sense of responsibility toward his staff, suggesting that the decision to return to the show may hinge on whether Kimmel prioritizes personal conviction or professional loyalty. Carolla and the hosts also reflect on the state of comedy in America, celebrating what they describe as a “salad days” moment for comedians who now feel freer to satirize the political left. They argue that the cultural climate has shifted, allowing for more honest and fearless humor, especially in the wake of President Trump’s 2024 victory. The conversation touches on the decline of traditional late-night television and the rise of podcasts and streaming platforms as more democratic spaces for comedy and commentary. The hour also delves into DEI policies and reverse discrimination, with Carolla sharing a personal story about his seven-year wait to take the LA Fire Department entrance exam, while a minority candidate was fast-tracked. A caller from Wisconsin corroborates similar experiences in law enforcement hiring, sparking a broader conversation about affirmative action, meritocracy, and the unintended consequences of diversity initiatives. Political analysis continues with a breakdown of polling data showing Republicans leading Democrats on key issues like the economy, immigration, and crime. The hosts highlight the media’s failure to cover the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, noting the suspect’s transgender identity and linking it to a disturbing pattern of transgender-related violence in recent high-profile cases. They criticize the Biden administration’s vague responses and lack of transparency on the issue, arguing that the media and political establishment are ignoring a growing trend. The show also features a viral moment from Virginia Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, who dodges a direct question about her stance on transgender bathroom and locker room policies. The hosts praise the reporter for pressing the issue and use the exchange to underscore what they see as the Democratic Party’s refusal to engage honestly on cultural issues. They argue that if a politician won’t answer a basic question about gender policy, they can’t be trusted on anything else. Closing out the hour, Clay and Buck discuss the Democratic Party’s internal identity crisis, pointing to figures like Chuck Schumer and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as emblematic of the party’s struggle to reconcile its radical base with its mainstream image. They speculate on AOC’s potential presidential ambitions and criticize her hypocrisy, referencing her luxury travel and “Tax the Rich” messaging.
