Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a packed discussion on politics, policy, and personality clashes dominating the headlines. Buck opens the hour with commentary on the government shutdown, noting how Washington, D.C., feels like a ghost town without bureaucrats clogging the streets—a stark reminder of federal inefficiency and bloated government.

The segment pivots to California politics, spotlighting Katie Porter’s controversial interview meltdown during her gubernatorial campaign. Buck plays portions of the viral CBS exchange where Porter clashes with a reporter over questions about Trump voters, abruptly ends the interview, and accuses the journalist of being “argumentative.” 

Buck critiques Porter’s temperament and dives deeper into her record, citing past allegations of abusive behavior toward her ex-husband and staff, as well as Politico reports on her toxic workplace reputation. He frames these revelations as critical for voters evaluating Porter’s bid to succeed Gavin Newsom and possibly position herself for a future presidential run.

Listeners weigh in with calls analyzing Porter’s combative attitude and media dynamics, reinforcing Buck’s argument that Democrats often shield candidates from scrutiny. The conversation underscores broader themes of accountability and media bias.

The hour’s centerpiece is an in-depth interview with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who breaks down the mechanics of the shutdown and the stalled negotiations in Congress. Paul explains that Democrats previously supported current spending levels but are now holding out for Obamacare subsidies, which were designed as temporary pandemic measures. He argues these subsidies primarily benefit wealthier Americans, worsen deficits, and may even extend benefits to illegal immigrants—despite laws prohibiting such allocations. Paul warns that both parties are complicit in reckless spending, projecting U.S. debt to hit $40 trillion, and calls for structural reforms like his Penny Plan to balance the budget within five years.

The discussion expands to foreign aid cuts, entitlement reform, and the political calculus behind shutdown strategies. Paul predicts Democrats will cave after a weekend of left-wing pressure but cautions that bipartisan overspending remains unchecked. He also proposes a market-driven solution to rising healthcare costs: allowing consumers to join large buying groups like Costco for collective bargaining on insurance—a move he says could dramatically lower premiums.

Additional listener calls tackle healthcare policy, insurance group dynamics, and the feasibility of cost-sharing models in the digital age, adding practical perspectives to the policy debate.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into explosive revelations about the weaponization of federal agencies, urban crime crises, and the Trump administration’s aggressive push to restore law and order. Buck opens the hour with an exclusive conversation with Senator Ron Johnson, who reacts to shocking news that Republican senators’ cell phone data was secretly scooped up during Jack Smith’s January 6th investigation. Johnson calls it an “outrageous violation of separation of powers,” warning that partisan operatives burrowed inside agencies and continue to sabotage reforms. He urges whistleblowers to come forward and stresses that exposure is the first step toward accountability.

The discussion turns to legislative gridlock and the government shutdown, with Johnson blasting Democrats for holding out on Obamacare subsidies and predicting they will cave under pressure. He highlights the failure of the appropriations process and warns that weak-kneed Republicans could undermine conservative principles if they agree to extend pandemic-era subsidies, which he says have fueled “tens of billions in fraud.” Johnson also weighs in on the upcoming James Comey trial, calling Comey and his cohort “a cast of criminals” whose actions inflicted more damage on U.S. democracy than foreign adversaries ever could.

Buck then shifts focus to crime and public safety, spotlighting Chicago’s staggering 110,000 gang members and 1,200 shootings this year alone. He slams Mayor Brandon Johnson for opposing Trump’s plan to deploy the National Guard and mocks the mayor’s rhetoric about “defending humanity” as delusional. Buck contrasts Democratic obstruction with the Trump administration’s results-driven approach, featuring FBI Director Kash Patel’s update: double-digit increases in arrests of violent offenders, fentanyl seizures, and child rescues in just eight months. Patel emphasizes that “the weaponization of law enforcement is over” and that federal agents are finally focused on crushing violent crime instead of political vendettas.

The hour also covers Portland’s lawlessness, where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem threatens to flood the city with federal officers after the mayor refuses to back security measures. Buck argues that Democrats consistently side with criminals over victims, citing examples from property crime policies in San Francisco to leniency for repeat violent offenders. He frames Trump’s crackdown as a defining contrast between the left’s permissiveness and the right’s commitment to law enforcement and public safety.

Listener talkbacks close the hour with fiery calls demanding accountability for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the mainstream media, while Buck reiterates that statutes of limitations limit prosecutions but insists the Comey case signals the start of a broader reckoning.

Delicious Irony

Clay and Buck dive into the federal indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James on mortgage fraud charges, a stunning development given her high-profile role in pursuing former President Donald Trump.  The hosts break down the legal implications, the irony of James facing the same type of charges she once weaponized, and whether she can ethically remain in office while under felony indictment. They also explore the political fallout, media reactions—including CNN’s controversial “everybody commits mortgage fraud” comment—and the likelihood of disbarment or removal from office.

The discussion expands to legal ethics, prosecutorial overreach, and the double standard in law enforcement, with comparisons to past cases like James Comey and Rudy Giuliani. Clay and Buck emphasize the principle that no one is above the law, especially those enforcing it.

AG Jason Miyares 

An interview with Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, who calls Democratic candidate for Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones’ comments “astonishing” and “disqualifying.”  Jones faces backlash for vile text messages advocating violence, including wishing death on the children of political opponents and fantasizing about shooting a Republican leader. Clay and Buck slam the lack of accountability from Virginia Democrats and question why Spanberger continues to dodge questions about endorsing Jones.

Miyares details the ethical and moral crisis this represents, emphasizing that the election is now about “right versus wrong.” He also outlines his record on reducing violent crime, combating fentanyl trafficking, and achieving the nation’s largest drop in addiction deaths, crediting partnerships with law enforcement and targeted action against repeat violent offenders.

Why We're Anti-Cancel Culture

The latest on the ongoing government shutdown, as Speaker Mike Johnson accuses Democrats of prioritizing political theatrics over reopening the government. Clay and Buck analyze why Democrats are facing growing public backlash and how internal party pressures from the far-left are driving the stalemate.

The conversation shifts to Antifa and left-wing extremism, sparked by a White House statement labeling Antifa a domestic terrorist organization and Jimmy Kimmel’s viral claim that “Antifa doesn’t exist.” Clay and Buck dismantle that narrative, citing historical examples of Antifa violence and highlighting media hypocrisy in downplaying left-wing political violence, including the shocking case of a man caught with 200 explosive devices allegedly targeting Supreme Court justices.

Jack Carr Drops By

An in-depth interview with Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL and bestselling author of the Terminal List series and Amazon Prime hit Dark Wolf. Carr shares behind-the-scenes details on adapting his books for television, his writing process, and his latest novel Cry Havoc. He offers practical advice for aspiring authors, insights on balancing creative projects with Hollywood demands, and his thoughts on weaving real-world geopolitics into fiction. The discussion wraps with Carr naming his top war movies and the literary legends who inspired his career.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show zeroes in on the high-stakes Virginia gubernatorial race and the explosive fallout from the latest debate. Clay and Buck dissect Abigail Spanberger’s evasive answers on hot-button issues like transgender athletes in girls’ sports and bathroom policies, highlighting her repeated refusal to give a clear yes-or-no response. The hosts argue this reflects the broader Democratic strategy of masking progressive positions until after elections.

The conversation intensifies with the Jay Jones controversy, where the Democratic candidate for Virginia Attorney General faces backlash for vile text messages advocating violence, including wishing death on the children of political opponents and fantasizing about shooting a Republican leader.
