Mental Health Flags

A tragic mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan, where a former high school football player targeted the NFL headquarters, killing four people—including an NYPD officer—before taking his own life. The shooter reportedly left a letter referencing CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy), sparking debate about mental health, football, and public safety.

Clay and Buck sharply criticize CNN’s early coverage, which inaccurately described the shooter as “possibly white,” using this as a springboard to examine media bias, racial narratives, and the politicization of breaking news. They argue that mainstream outlets often rush to frame incidents through a left-wing ideological lens, especially when race or gun control is involved.

The hosts also explore the security implications of the attack, noting that even with armed guards and secure entry protocols, soft targets remain vulnerable. The conversation touches on the New York City mayoral race, highlighting the Democratic nominee’s controversial background and views on policing, including his current stay at a private compound in Uganda surrounded by armed security—despite advocating for social workers over police in violent situations. 

Cincinnati Police Chief blames social media and the press, not the criminals, for the brutal beatdown that went viral and said we don't have the full context of the videos. Buck points out there is no excuse for that level of mob violence. 

Russia Hoax Charges

Sean Davis, CEO and Founder of The Federalist, explains the new Russia hoax information that has been released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard and what could and should happen next.  Davis breaks down newly declassified documents revealing that the CIA and top Obama-era officials knowingly advanced false claims about Russian interference in the 2016 election. Davis argues that the Steele dossier and Mueller investigation were built on lies, and that figures like Comey, Brennan, Clapper, McCabe, and Strzok should face criminal charges.

The conversation explores the legal and constitutional boundaries of presidential immunity, particularly in relation to Barack Obama’s alleged involvement in the intelligence community’s actions. Clay and Buck debate whether immunity extends beyond a president’s term and whether subordinates can be prosecuted for executing presidential directives. They express skepticism that any high-profile Democrats will face legal consequences, despite mounting evidence of misconduct.

Davis also discusses the Biden administration’s alleged censorship of conservative media, revealing how The Federalist was targeted for blacklisting by major tech platforms. Despite the transition to Trump 2.0, Davis notes that the digital ad market remains hostile to conservative outlets due to the lingering effects of censorship infrastructure built under the previous administration.

Woke Meltdown Over Sydney Sweeney

The hosts analyze a surprising New York Times article titled “Inside the Rise of the Multiracial Right,” which highlights how Black, Hispanic, and Asian voters are increasingly aligning with Donald Trump and the Republican Party. This trend, supported by interviews from Milwaukee, San Francisco, and the Texas border, is framed as a rejection of the Democratic Party’s perceived inauthenticity and elitism.

Clay and Buck explore how the Democratic Party has lost touch with working-class and minority voters, citing examples like Pete Buttigieg’s evasive response to a question about transgender athletes in women’s sports. They argue that Democrats’ inability to answer basic questions honestly has alienated male voters and minority communities. The hosts also discuss the cultural backlash against actress Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad campaign, noting that criticism is largely coming from liberal white women—a demographic they claim is driving the Democratic Party’s decline.

The hour features a powerful quote from a Black voter in Milwaukee who describes his disillusionment with the Democratic Party’s “white savior complex” and its focus on identity politics over practical solutions. This leads to a broader discussion about the rise of authenticity in conservative politics and the rejection of progressive orthodoxy, particularly among voters who feel left behind by the cultural left.

Mark Levin On Power

Mark Levin joins the show to discuss his new book On Power. Levin critiques the centralization of authority by Marxists, Islamists, and the modern Democratic Party, arguing that the American Revolution was fundamentally about who holds power—not just liberty. He warns that the left’s push for conformity, censorship, and redistribution

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into breaking news, cultural commentary, and political analysis, offering listeners a dynamic start to the program. The hour opens with a detailed discussion of a tragic mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan, where a former high school football player targeted the NFL headquarters, killing four people—including an NYPD officer—before taking his own life. The shooter reportedly left a letter referencing CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy), sparking debate about mental health, football, and public safety.

Cincinnati Police Chief blames social media, not the criminals, for the brutal beatdown and said we don't have the full context of the videos. Buck points out there is no excuse for that level of mob violence. 

Shifting to cultural commentary, Clay and Buck dissect the backlash against American Eagle’s ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. Critics accused the brand of promoting “eugenics” and “Nazi propaganda” due to the tagline “great genes.” The hosts push back, calling the outrage a symptom of woke culture, and argue that beauty standards, genetics, and aspirational marketing are being unfairly demonized. They emphasize that cultural battles shape political outcomes, asserting that the left’s push for uniformity and inclusivity often undermines excellence and meritocracy.

The hour also includes commentary on Israel and Gaza, with a clip from the Israeli ambassador to the U.S. addressing Hamas’s diversion of humanitarian aid. The hosts reaffirm their support for Israel and promote the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews as a trusted aid organization.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a hard-hitting analysis of the Russia collusion hoax, intelligence community misconduct, and the broader implications for political accountability and media freedom. Clay and Buck are joined by Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder of The Federalist, who breaks down newly declassified documents revealing that the CIA and top Obama-era officials knowingly advanced false claims about Russian interference in the 2016 election. Davis argues that the Steele dossier and Mueller investigation were built on lies, and that figures like Comey, Brennan, Clapper, McCabe, and Strzok should face criminal charges.

The conversation explores the legal and constitutional boundaries of presidential immunity, particularly in relation to Barack Obama’s alleged involvement in the intelligence community’s actions. Clay and Buck debate whether immunity extends beyond a president’s term and whether subordinates can be prosecuted for executing presidential directives. They express skepticism that any high-profile Democrats will face legal consequences, despite mounting evidence of misconduct.

Listeners call in with questions about the potential use of RICO statutes, civil lawsuits, and the viability of holding intelligence officials financially accountable. Clay and Buck explain the legal hurdles, including statutes of limitations, the difficulty of proving intent, and the protections afforded to public officials. They emphasize that while the public may demand justice, the legal system often shields powerful figures from consequences.

Sean Davis also discusses the Biden administration’s alleged censorship of conservative media, revealing how The Federalist was targeted for blacklisting by major tech platforms. Despite the transition to Trump 2.0, Davis notes that the digital ad market remains hostile to conservative outlets due to the lingering effects of censorship infrastructure built under the previous administration.

The hour also includes commentary on the Epstein controversy, with Davis urging the Trump team to release all related documents in the interest of transparency. Clay and Buck highlight the double standard in how the DOJ has prosecuted January 6 participants while ignoring alleged crimes by political elites. They argue that the process itself has become a form of punishment, disproportionately applied to conservatives.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the shifting political landscape, cultural identity politics, and the erosion of authenticity in modern liberalism. The hosts begin by analyzing a surprising New York Times article titled “Inside the Rise of the Multiracial Right,” which highlights how Black, Hispanic, and Asian voters are increasingly aligning with Donald Trump and the Republican Party. This trend, supported by interviews from Milwaukee, San Francisco, and the Texas border, is framed as a rejection of the Democratic Party’s perceived inauthenticity and elitism.

Clay and Buck explore how the Democratic Party has lost touch with working-class and minority voters, citing examples like Pete Buttigieg’s evasive response to a question about transgender athletes in women’s sports.

The hour features a powerful quote from a Black voter in Milwaukee who describes his disillusionment with the Democratic Party’s “white savior complex” and its focus on identity politics over practical solutions. This leads to a broader discussion about the rise of authenticity in conservative politics and the rejection of progressive orthodoxy, particularly among voters who feel left behind by the cultural left.

Clay and Buck also highlight a major trade deal negotiated by President Trump with the European Union, which eliminates tariffs and opens European markets to American farmers, ranchers, and fishermen. They frame this as a significant economic victory that contradicts media narratives about Trump’s trade policies.

In a featured interview, Mark Levin joins the show to discuss his new book On Power. Levin critiques the centralization of authority by Marxists, Islamists, and the modern Democratic Party, arguing that the American Revolution was fundamentally about who holds power—not just liberty. He warns that the left’s push for conformity, censorship, and redistribution threatens the foundational principles of the United States. Levin also addresses the Israel-Hamas conflict, defending Israel’s actions and condemning antisemitism on college campuses and within the Democratic Party.

Democrats’ Approval Hits 35-Year Low | Cruz’s $1 Trillion Spending Cut Plan | Poker Tax Fix

In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson break down the latest Wall Street Journal poll showing the Democratic Party’s approval rating at its lowest point in 35 years—just 33% favorable and 63% unfavorable. Cruz attributes this dramatic decline to the party’s alignment with far-left policies on:

• Open borders
• Defunding the police
• Support for controversial protests
• Gender and youth medical interventions

Cruz warns Republicans not to grow complacent, despite the favorable polling numbers.

💰 Plus: A Bold Plan to Save $1 Trillion in Federal Spending
Cruz unveils a proposal to end the Federal Reserve’s interest payments on bank reserves, a policy that cost taxpayers $168 billion in 2024—nearly half of which went to foreign banks. He argues this change could:

• Encourage more bank lending
• Lower interest rates
• Reduce the federal deficit

♠️ Fixing Unfair Tax Laws for Professional Poker Players
Cruz also tackles a little-known tax change affecting professional gamblers. A recent provision now limits gambling loss deductions to 90%, meaning players are taxed on income they never actually earned. Cruz is working across the aisle to reverse this policy and protect U.S.-based poker professionals.
