Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Aug 28 2025
Toxic Empathy Exposed C&B give commentary on the Minneapolis shooting, where the attacker allegedly targeted Christian children and had “Kill Donald Trump” written on the weapon.

Mary Margaret Olohan Mary Margaret Olohan, a White House correspondent for The Daily Wire, joins the show to discuss her reporting on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who allegedly ignored warnings from Catholic and independent school leaders about threats to faith-based institutions.

Hour 1 - Toxic Empathy Exposed
In Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts deliver a hard-hitting analysis of the aftermath of a recent school shooting involving a transgender-identifying individual, drawing parallels to the 2023 Covenant School shooting in Nashville. The hour centers on the ideological, political, and cultural fallout from these incidents, with a strong emphasis on school safety, transgender healthcare, and Democratic leadership failures. The segment opens with commentary on the Minneapolis shooting, where the attacker allegedly targeted Christian children and had “Kill Donald Trump” written on the weapon. The hosts argue this reflects a disturbing pattern of violence linked to transgender identity and mental illness, exacerbated by what they call “toxic empathy” and ideological coercion. Mary Margaret Olohan, a White House correspondent for The Daily Wire, joins the show to discuss her reporting on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who allegedly ignored warnings from Catholic and independent school leaders about threats to faith-based institutions. Despite meetings and requests for increased security funding, Walz took no action—while simultaneously promoting Minnesota as a “trans refuge” and signing legislation supporting gender-affirming care. The hosts criticize the mainstream media, particularly CNN and MSNBC, for downplaying the shooter’s identity and motives, and accuse the FBI of suppressing the Nashville shooter’s manifesto. They call for federal investigations into what they term “trans terrorism” and demand transparency in law enforcement responses. Throughout the hour, Clay and Buck explore the broader societal implications of gender ideology, arguing that parents are being emotionally blackmailed into approving irreversible medical procedures for their children. They highlight the voices of detransitioners and advocate for parental resistance, community support, and removal of children from schools promoting gender ideology.

Hour 3 - Trey Gowdy’s Viral Gun Comments
Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the intersection of crime policy, gun control, mental health, and political accountability. Clay and Buck analyze the dramatic 87% drop in carjackings in Washington, DC, crediting President Trump’s federal crime surge and highlighting Mayor Muriel Bowser’s praise for the initiative.
