The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

No Kings Nonsense Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis broadcasting solo from Washington, D.C., while Buck Sexton is in Cannes, France, meeting with major advertisers—a testament to the show's growing influence and reach. Clay reflects on the show's evolution and the recent surge in advertiser interest, highlighting the disconnect between mainstream brands and the show's massive, engaged audience. The hour delves into a wide range of topics, beginning with Clay’s personal experience spending Father’s Day at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum with his son. He draws a powerful parallel between the Wright brothers’ pioneering spirit and the current stagnation in American innovation, emphasizing how figures like Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are reigniting the nation’s exploratory ambition—particularly in space travel and technological advancement. The Left Has Lost the Plot Clay contrasts two major events in Washington over the weekend: a military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and the “No Kings” protest opposing President Trump. He critiques the protestors’ historical ignorance, arguing that the military’s role in defeating monarchy and establishing American democracy is being overlooked. He underscores how President Trump’s celebration of American history and military tradition stands in stark contrast to the left’s emotionally driven, media-fueled opposition. The discussion also touches on the cultural and educational decline, using George Washington University’s decision to drop the “Colonials” mascot as a case study in historical misunderstanding. Clay argues that this trend reflects a broader societal failure to teach and preserve accurate American history. Throughout the hour, Clay emphasizes the importance of authenticity in leadership and media, asserting that President Trump’s transparency and consistency have strengthened his support, especially among younger voters. He also warns against political violence, condemning recent threats and attacks, and urges listeners to engage through peaceful, democratic means. A Message to Iran Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with reflections on the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade and the “No Kings” protest, which Clay critiques as historically misguided. He emphasizes the importance of the American Revolution and the colonial army in securing freedom from monarchy, drawing a contrast between celebratory patriotism and modern anti-establishment demonstrations. Clay then shifts to a deep dive into California’s demographic and political transformation, highlighting the state’s historical evolution from sparsely populated territory to a booming state post-Gold Rush. He critiques progressive narratives that challenge U.S. sovereignty over California, particularly those that emphasize its Mexican and Spanish colonial past, and argues that such views ignore the role of Native Americans and historical context. The episode’s central theme revolves around escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Iran. Clay discusses the aftermath of the October 7 attacks and the surge in antisemitic hate crimes in the U.S., citing data from The New York Times. He strongly supports Israel’s military response and frames the conflict as a battle between good and evil, with Israel and President Trump on the side of freedom and democracy. A major segment features Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s interview with Brett Baier, where Netanyahu confirms that Iran attempted to assassinate President Trump twice. This revelation underscores Trump’s status as a primary adversary of the Iranian regime and a staunch defender of Middle Eastern freedom. Clay also plays audio from Iranian state television and Israeli officials, including Amir Ohana, Speaker of the Knesset, who directly addresses the Iranian people, urging them to rise against the oppressive regime. The conversation highlights Israel’s strategic air dominance and the crumbling credibility of Iran’s leadership. Conservative Influencer, Arynne Wexler An interview with political commentator Arynne Wexler, who supports the view that removing Iran’s Ayatollahs is essential to preventing a nuclear-armed regime. Together, Clay and Arynne challenge the growing isolationist sentiment on the right, asserting that “America First” should not mean “America Alone.” They argue that supporting Israel and promoting Western values—capitalism, human rights, and religious tolerance—aligns with core American interests. The conversation also addresses the rise of antisemitism, misinformation about Jewish influence, and the importance of economic diplomacy over religious conflict. Clay and Arynne highlight how President Trump’s commerce-first approach has reshaped alliances in the Middle East and could serve as a model for future U.S. policy.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay broadcasting solo from Washington, D.C., as Buck Sexton is delayed due to travel disruptions. Clay outlines a dynamic two-week schedule from the nation’s capital, including exclusive interviews with lawmakers and a highly anticipated Oval Office sit-down with President Donald Trump. This hour sets the tone for a politically charged and news-driven week. The primary focus of Hour 1 is the escalating unrest in Los Angeles, which Clay compares to the violent protests of summer 2020. He describes scenes of chaos, including burning police vehicles, attacks on law enforcement, and vandalism of autonomous Waymo cars. Clay emphasizes the presence of foreign flags and anti-ICE sentiment among rioters, suggesting the protests are “astro-turfed” and not organic grassroots movements. Clay praises President Trump’s swift response to the violence, highlighting the deployment of the National Guard and a renewed commitment to law and order. He contrasts this with what he sees as weak leadership from California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. Trump’s proactive stance, Clay argues, is a direct lesson learned from his first term—namely, that violent protests must be stopped immediately to prevent national destabilization. The show also spotlights a significant drop in crime rates across major U.S. cities under President Trump’s leadership. Clay cites dramatic year-over-year declines in murder rates in cities like New York (-27%), Chicago (-24%), and Denver (-63%), attributing this trend to Trump’s law-and-order policies and support for police departments nationwide.

Senator Johnson, a leading fiscal conservative, outlines the unsustainable trajectory of post-COVID government spending, emphasizing how emergency-level expenditures have become the new budgetary baseline. He contrasts historical fiscal responsibility—such as post-World War II spending reductions—with today’s entrenched budget inflation, highlighting a 58% increase in federal outlays since 2019. Key topics include: The transformation of discretionary spending into mandatory spending during the pandemic. The urgent need for a forensic audit of over 2,600 federal programs to identify waste and inefficiencies. The political and economic implications of Medicaid expansion and its unintended consequences, including crowding out care for vulnerable populations.

The potential for AI and technological innovation to drive future economic expansion, albeit with caution. Senator Johnson also critiques the lack of economic literacy among many in Congress and underscores the need for a cultural shift in how Americans view federal spending.

The hour dives into several major political and economic developments. A key focus is the improving U.S. economy under President Trump, with inflation continuing to decline for the fourth consecutive month and wage growth outpacing the cost of goods.

They praise red-state governors such as Greg Abbott (Texas) and Ron DeSantis (Florida) for maintaining law and order amid protests. The hosts contrast the current administration’s firm stance with the chaos of the 2020 BLM riots, noting a significant shift in public sentiment toward securing the border and supporting deportations.

The conversation then shifts to the firing—or more accurately, the non-renewal—of ABC News senior correspondent Terry Moran. The hosts dissect the media’s double standards and the illusion of journalistic neutrality, arguing that mainstream outlets like ABC News and CNN are deeply partisan despite their claims of objectivity. They speculate that Moran’s exit may have been a calculated move to rebrand himself as a martyr for free speech and a hero to the political left.

This segment underscores the broader theme of media manipulation and the collapse of trust in so-called “unbiased” news organizations.

The hosts emphasize the overwhelming public support for President Trump’s immigration policies, citing new polling data that shows the Democratic Party’s approval rating plummeting to just 21%. They argue that Democrats are out of touch with mainstream America and are clinging to outdated narratives that no longer resonate with voters. The hour concludes with a spirited debate about the future of the Democratic Party, the likability of figures like Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris, and the potential for a political realignment. Clay and Buck suggest that the Democratic brand is increasingly toxic, especially among young men, and predict that the party may need a Trump-like outsider to regain relevance in 2028.

The hosts explore how the Trump administration is handling the unrest with decisive federal action, contrasting it with the perceived failures of Democrat-led cities and states. They highlight the political and societal consequences of unchecked illegal immigration, including the strain on public services, the manipulation of congressional apportionment due to non-citizen counts, and the broader implications for national sovereignty and the rule of law. A major theme is the shift in conservative discourse from border wall rhetoric to a more urgent call for mass deportations and interior enforcement.

California Gubernatorial Candidate Steve Hilton Steve Hilton, gubernatorial candidate in California, provides on-the-ground insight into the destruction in Los Angeles.

The hosts also discuss the media’s portrayal of the riots, calling out CNN and others for downplaying the violence. They credit Elon Musk’s ownership of X (formerly Twitter) for enabling more transparent coverage of the events, undermining the “mostly peaceful protest” narrative.

Simone Says Sorry Simone Biles issues an apology to Riley Gaines, but none of us believe she wrote it. It reads like a horribly written PR statement and doesn't make any sense or sound the least bit authentic.
