Dunking on Gavin Newsom, Forbidden Democrat Words & SCOTUS Win on DEI Grants

In this fiery episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson tackle three explosive topics dominating the headlines:

1. Gavin Newsom vs. Trump on Energy Prices
   Senator Cruz responds to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s viral tweet blaming Donald Trump for rising electricity costs. Using AI tool Grok, Cruz reveals that the states with the highest energy prices are Democrat-led and burdened by aggressive renewable energy mandates. The hosts argue that liberal policies—not Trump—are driving up costs, and they break down the infrastructure challenges facing blue states.

2. Democrats’ “Forbidden Words” Memo
   A new memo from the left-leaning think tank Third Way lists 45 words and phrases Democrats are urged to avoid, including “privilege,” “birthing person,” and “cisgender.” Cruz and Ferguson mock the list, likening it to George Carlin’s “seven dirty words,” and argue that the real issue isn’t language—it’s ideology.

3. Supreme Court Victory for Trump on DEI Funding
   The Supreme Court delivers a 5–4 ruling allowing the Trump administration to cancel $783 million in NIH grants tied to DEI and gender ideology. Justice Amy Coney Barrett plays a pivotal role, siding with conservatives on funding but not on broader DEI guidance. Cruz and Ferguson unpack the legal implications and what this means for future judicial activism.

Democrats vs. Law Enforcement

The show features a critical breakdown of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s MSNBC interview with Joe Scarborough, where Johnson repeatedly avoids answering whether adding 5,000 police officers would reduce crime. Clay and Buck argue this reflects a broader Democratic reluctance to support law enforcement, driven by ideological commitments rather than public safety. They cite crime statistics—such as Chicago’s 629 murders in 2022, exceeding the entire United Kingdom’s total—to underscore the urgency of the issue. 

Real-World Consequences

A gripping firsthand account from a young Asian-American reporter who was violently mugged in Washington, D.C., highlighting the real-world consequences of urban crime. This sets the stage for a broader conversation about President Trump’s aggressive crime-fighting strategy in the nation’s capital, which the hosts frame as both morally necessary and politically effective.

The show explores how Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and law enforcement has led to a notable drop in violent crime, including a 13-day streak without a homicide—an unprecedented development in a Democrat-run city. The hosts contrast this with Democratic messaging that downplays violent crime in favor of focusing on homelessness and mental health, arguing that Trump’s results-driven approach is resonating with everyday Americans.

Rep. Chip Roy

Congressman Chip Roy joins the program to discuss his campaign for Texas Attorney General, his push to ban congressional stock trading, and his support for raising the mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots from 65 to 67 to address pilot shortages. He also weighs in on the Texas vs. Ohio State football game, predicting a win for the Longhorns led by Arch Manning.

Anything to Not Thank Trump

The hosts dive into the political and cultural impact of President Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, particularly in Washington, D.C., where violent crime rates have dropped significantly following federal intervention. They frame Trump’s approach as a bold, results-driven solution that contrasts sharply with Democratic leadership in cities like Chicago and Baltimore. The segment emphasizes how Trump’s actions—such as deploying federal resources and supporting law enforcement—are reshaping the national conversation around urban safety, law and order, and public accountability.

The hosts also highlight Trump’s stance on transgender athletes in women’s sports, positioning it as a common-sense issue that resonates with a majority of Americans. They argue that Trump’s ability to solve real-world problems, from securing the border to reducing crime, is what sets him apart from traditional politicians. The discussion underscores how Democrats’ resistance to Trump’s policies—even when they improve public safety—reveals a deeper ideological divide, with some voters prioritizing political identity over personal security.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the intersection of politics, crime policy, media narratives, and the 2026 election cycle. Clay and Buck open the hour with a preview of key upcoming races, including the Texas Attorney General primary featuring Congressman Chip Roy, the New York City mayoral race, and elections in Virginia and New Jersey. They reflect on past political wins and losses, emphasizing the importance of conservative momentum heading into 2026.

A major focus of the hour is President Donald Trump’s proactive public engagement, including his seventh public cabinet meeting and a series of press events. The hosts contrast Trump’s visibility and leadership with what they describe as Joe Biden’s absence and lack of transparency during his presidency. Trump’s pivot from economic messaging to a tough-on-crime agenda is highlighted, with particular attention to his deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., and his proposed expansion to cities like Chicago and Baltimore.

The show features a critical breakdown of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s MSNBC interview with Joe Scarborough, where Johnson repeatedly avoids answering whether adding 5,000 police officers would reduce crime. Clay and Buck argue this reflects a broader Democratic reluctance to support law enforcement, driven by ideological commitments rather than public safety. They cite crime statistics—such as Chicago’s 629 murders in 2022, exceeding the entire United Kingdom’s total—to underscore the urgency of the issue.

The hosts also explore the political ambitions of Democratic figures like Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, and Joe Scarborough, speculating on potential 2028 presidential runs. They argue that Democratic leaders are prioritizing national optics over local safety, especially in high-crime cities. Trump’s crime strategy is praised as both politically effective and life-saving, particularly for Black communities disproportionately affected by urban violence.

In Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts deliver a powerful and wide-ranging discussion centered on crime reduction, political accountability, and national security, with a few cultural detours. The hour opens with a gripping firsthand account from a young Asian-American reporter who was violently mugged in Washington, D.C., highlighting the real-world consequences of urban crime. This sets the stage for a broader conversation about President Trump’s aggressive crime-fighting strategy in the nation’s capital, which the hosts frame as both morally necessary and politically effective.

The show explores how Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and law enforcement has led to a notable drop in violent crime, including a 13-day streak without a homicide—an unprecedented development in a Democrat-run city. The hosts contrast this with Democratic messaging that downplays violent crime in favor of focusing on homelessness and mental health, arguing that Trump’s results-driven approach is resonating with everyday Americans.

Congressman Chip Roy joins the program to discuss his campaign for Texas Attorney General, his push to ban congressional stock trading, and his support for raising the mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots from 65 to 67 to address pilot shortages. He also weighs in on the Texas vs. Ohio State football game, predicting a win for the Longhorns led by Arch Manning.

In lighter moments, the hosts react to the engagement of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, poking fun at the media frenzy and questioning the cultural obsession with celebrity relationships.

In Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts dive into a dynamic mix of political commentary, cultural analysis, and audience engagement. The segment opens with lighthearted coverage of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement, which Clay argues is a culturally significant moment that reflects traditional values like marriage and family. He suggests Swift’s influence could inspire younger generations to embrace the nuclear family, despite her left-leaning political endorsements. This leads to a broader discussion on the intersection of pop culture and politics, with Clay asserting that “politics is downstream from culture,” while Buck counters that Trump has reversed that dynamic.

The hour’s political core centers on President Trump’s 2025 pivot to crime reduction as a key campaign issue. The hosts highlight Trump’s deployment of federal resources to Washington, D.C., and his calls to expand efforts to other high-crime blue cities like Chicago and Baltimore. They emphasize Trump’s success in reducing violent crime, securing the border, and stabilizing the economy—framing it all under the “EBC” strategy: Economy, Border, Crime. Trump’s critics, they argue, are more concerned with opposing him than solving real problems, even accusing him of “lowering crime too fast.” The hosts also touch on Trump’s stance against transgender athletes in women’s sports, citing overwhelming public support for his position.

Throughout the segment, Clay and Buck engage with listener feedback—some supportive, others dismissive—about the Swift-Kelce engagement and its cultural relevance.
