Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H3 - Media is Losing Their Toys

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political analysis, media critique, and cultural commentary. The hour opens with reflections on the one-year anniversary of President Joe Biden’s decision to exit the 2024 race, sparking intense discussion around Hunter Biden’s recent media blitz. The hosts dissect Hunter’s profanity-laced criticism of Democrats like George Clooney and James Carville, and speculate on his potential political ambitions—raising the provocative question: is Hunter Biden testing the waters for a future run?

The segment also covers breaking news of actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s reported death, adding a somber note to the hour.

A major focus is the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s late-night show, which reportedly lost $40 million annually despite high ratings. The hosts challenge claims that the cancellation was politically motivated, instead pointing to unsustainable business models and the broader collapse of legacy media. This leads into a broader critique of late-night television, the decline of traditional media, and the rise of alternative platforms like YouTube and podcasts.

The conversation pivots to the WNBA’s financial woes, highlighting the league’s projected $40 million loss and the players’ controversial “Pay Us What You Owe Us” campaign. The hosts draw parallels between the WNBA and Colbert’s show, arguing both are examples of “woke economics” disconnected from market realities.

Listeners are also treated to a tribute to Admiral James Flatley, the only aviator to land and take off a C-130 Hercules from an aircraft carrier—an aviation feat tied to Buck Sexton’s family history.

The hour wraps with commentary on economic migration trends, including the relocation of In-N-Out Burger’s president to Tennessee, and a critique of progressive economic policies in states like California and New York. The hosts emphasize the importance of economic literacy, authenticity in media, and the enduring power of talk radio in a fragmented media landscape.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H2 - Accelerating the Crazy

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the cultural and political battlegrounds shaping America today. The hour opens with a passionate discussion on the backlash against “cultural Marxism” and the perceived rewriting of American history, with both hosts expressing frustration over progressive movements that, in their view, have gone too far.

A major focus of this hour is President Donald Trump’s call to restore the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians team names, sparking a broader debate on the erasure of tradition and heritage in sports. Clay shares polling data showing overwhelming support among his audience for reverting to the Redskins name, while Buck explores the political and financial implications of such a move, especially in the context of federal support for a new stadium.

The hosts also examine the broader trend of sports team and college mascot name changes, citing examples like Dartmouth, St. John’s, UMass, and George Washington University. They argue that these changes reflect a relentless push from the political left, which they believe is never satisfied and continues to demand more cultural concessions.

The conversation expands to societal shifts from 2014 to 2022, including the rise and fall of the BLM movement, COVID-19 policies, and controversies surrounding transgender athletes like Leah Thomas. Clay and Buck argue that these years are now being reassessed and rejected by a growing number of Americans, framing the current moment as a “counter-revolution” led by Trump.

They highlight the positive impact of police body cameras in countering anti-police narratives and reducing viral misinformation, crediting this as one of the few constructive outcomes of recent cultural upheavals.

In a powerful segment, the hosts delve into the Obama-era intelligence community’s role in the Russia collusion narrative, with Tulsi Gabbard calling for accountability. They discuss the legal and political challenges of prosecuting former officials like James Comey, expressing skepticism that justice will be served due to expired statutes of limitations and institutional protections.

The hour also includes commentary on media bias, with criticism of outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post for allegedly laundering false narratives and receiving Pulitzer Prizes for discredited reporting. The hosts argue this has eroded public trust in journalism.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H1 - Reality of Taxes 

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the political and cultural landscape of America, marking key anniversaries and analyzing the seismic shifts in leadership and ideology over the past year. The hosts reflect on the one-year anniversary of President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race, the chaotic fallout that followed, and the endorsement of Kamala Harris. They revisit the pivotal June 27th Biden-Trump debate and the near-assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, framing these events as historically transformative.

The hour features a robust comparison between recent political turmoil and past eras, including the JFK assassination, the 1968 political violence, and the 1864 Civil War election. The hosts draw parallels between Lincoln’s re-election and Trump’s political resurgence, emphasizing the importance of Sherman's capture of Atlanta and how historical military victories shaped electoral outcomes.

A major theme is President Donald Trump’s fulfillment of his 2024 campaign promises. The hosts praise his adherence to a 20-point platform and argue that no modern president has delivered more directly on campaign pledges. They also critique the Democratic Party’s strategy, suggesting that their overconfidence and reliance on abortion and “defense of democracy” messaging backfired in the 2024 election cycle.

The show also explores the economic outlook under the Trump administration, highlighting predictions from Jim Rickards about a potential $150 trillion state-owned asset that could trigger an unprecedented economic boom. The Wall Street Journal’s headline, “The U.S. Economy is Regaining Its Swagger,” is cited as evidence of renewed consumer and corporate confidence.

Cultural commentary includes Trump’s call to restore the original names of the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians, framed as a pushback against left-wing cultural overreach. The hosts argue this signals a broader conservative effort to reverse the excesses of the “woke” era.

Hunter Biden’s recent profanity-laced interview is dissected, particularly his comments on illegal immigration and labor. The hosts criticize his rhetoric and use it to highlight broader Democratic messaging failures.

The hour also touches on the explosive growth of the show’s YouTube channel, now nearing 100,000 subscribers, and the shift in media consumption from traditional platforms to digital video. The hosts emphasize the importance of reaching younger audiences and adapting to new content formats.

C&B Deep Dive - Breonna Taylor

Ex-officer Brett Hankison was sentenced to 33 months in prison in Breonna Taylor's death. Hankison was found guilty of one count of violating Taylor's civil rights after he shot into her apartment in March of 2020. His bullets did not hit anyone and he was responding to gunfire directed at his fellow officers. The DOJ recommended Hankison receive one day in prison. The third officer on duty that night, Louisville Sergeant John Mattingly, called into The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show to share his firsthand account of the raid and a side of the story you probably haven’t heard in the mainstream media.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jul 25 2025

Correcting the Historic Record 

President Donald Trump’s departure to Scotland and his remarks on the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on presidential immunity. Clay emphasizes how this decision not only shields Trump but also extends to former presidents like Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, reinforcing the broad scope of executive power.

A major segment centers on the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling, with Trump asserting that Obama “owes him big” for the legal precedent that now protects all presidents from criminal prosecution for official acts. Clay explores the implications of this ruling, referencing Tulsi Gabbard’s revelations and the broader legal and political fallout. He also addresses the media’s reaction, including flashbacks to the Russia investigation and the media’s portrayal of Trump’s relationship with Vladimir Putin.

Why Trump Won with People

Deep dive into the political fallout of the Russiagate scandal, the media’s role in perpetuating misinformation, and the enduring political strength of President Donald Trump. Clay Travis opens the hour with personal anecdotes before launching into a powerful monologue comparing Trump’s 2016 election victory to Tom Brady’s first Super Bowl win—an unexpected upset that later proved to be the beginning of a legendary run. This analogy underscores the central theme: Trump’s underestimated political talent and the establishment’s refusal to accept his legitimacy.

The hour explores how Democrats, unable to comprehend Hillary Clinton’s loss, fueled the Russia collusion narrative. Clay argues that this disbelief birthed the Russiagate hoax, which he claims was orchestrated by the deep state, intelligence agencies, and mainstream media. He emphasizes that the Steele dossier and other allegations were part of a broader effort to delegitimize Trump’s presidency.

Gift of Self-Awareness

Listeners call in to weigh in on the origins of the Russia investigation, Hillary Clinton’s role, and the media’s complicity. One caller suggests that Clinton’s loss triggered a psychological spiral, while another highlights how the narrative was used to distract from Trump’s policy successes. Clay reinforces that Trump’s presidency—particularly the first six months—has delivered on key issues like the economy, border security, and crime reduction.

The discussion also touches on the Epstein files, with Clay warning conservatives not to fall into traps set by Democrats using right-wing criticisms to attack Trump. He urges listeners to focus on Trump’s intent and accomplishments rather than personal controversies, arguing that many of the attacks against him are politically motivated and lack substance.

Throughout the hour, Clay stresses the importance of recognizing Trump as a generational political force, comparing his impact to that of Ronald Reagan. He critiques the intelligence community’s political bias and calls for greater accountability and balance in government institutions.

Carnival Funhouse Mirror

A passionate monologue on the state of American values and the role of fatherhood in society. The hour opens with a lighthearted update on Buck Sexton’s family travels and a push to grow the show’s YouTube presence, highlighting the shift in media consumption from traditional radio to video-based platforms.

Clay then transitions into a viral marketing story involving actress Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle, using it as a springboard to critique the fashion industry's pivot away from traditional beauty standards. He argues that the return to aspirational advertising—featuring attractive models—is a sign of cultural healing, contrasting it with past campaigns from brands like Victoria’s Secret and Nike that embraced body positivity and inclusivity, which he claims were commercially unsuccessful.

The conversation evolves into a broader cultural critique, where Clay draws parallels between advertising trends and the decline of traditional family structures in pop culture. He laments the disappearance of strong father figures in modern television, contrasting it with the nuclear family portrayals in classic sitcoms like The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Growing Pains, and Home Improvement. He argues that the absence of dads in media contributes to a crisis of masculinity and a lack of aspirational role models for young boys.

Clay also reflects on the impact of social media, likening it to a “carnival funhouse mirror” that distorts reality and has led to misguided cultural shifts since 2014. He ties this distortion to rising teen depression, the collapse of race relations, and the influence of m

Hour 1 - Correcting the Historic Record 

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis solo-hosting while Buck Sexton celebrates his father’s birthday today. The hour dives deep into major political and legal developments, starting with President Donald Trump’s departure to Scotland and his remarks on the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on presidential immunity. Clay emphasizes how this decision not only shields Trump but also extends to former presidents like Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, reinforcing the broad scope of executive power.

A major segment centers on the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling, with Trump asserting that Obama “owes him big” for the legal precedent that now protects all presidents from criminal prosecution for official acts. Clay explores the implications of this ruling, referencing Tulsi Gabbard’s revelations and the broader legal and political fallout. He also addresses the media’s reaction, including flashbacks to the Russia investigation and the media’s portrayal of Trump’s relationship with Vladimir Putin.

The show then transitions into a detailed discussion of the Jeffrey Epstein case, highlighting the Department of Justice’s inability to uncover new prosecutable evidence despite extensive investigations. Clay cites a New York Times report and notes the frustration of figures like Pam Bondi and Dan Bongino. He also reveals that over $500 million in civil settlements have been paid to Epstein’s victims, including payouts from Epstein’s estate, JPMorgan Chase, and Deutsche Bank. The segment underscores the lack of media coverage on these settlements and the victims’ desire for privacy.

Clay contrasts the Russiagate hoax with the Epstein fallout, polling listeners on which is the bigger story. The majority chose Russiagate, followed by economic concerns, with Epstein ranking third. He criticizes the media and political figures for overpromising revelations from the Epstein files and underdelivering, drawing parallels to past intelligence failures like the Iraq War.

The hour also touches on the booming U.S. economy, with record highs in the stock market and strong performance under Trump’s leadership. Clay argues that Democrats have shifted their strategy from attacking Trump on the economy, border, and crime—areas where he’s seen success—to reviving the Epstein narrative as a political weapon.

Listeners are invited to call in and weigh in on the topics, including a legal question about whether presidential immunity covers treasonous acts. Clay responds by explaining the legal standard and reiterating that bad decisions, like the Iraq War, don’t necessarily equate to criminal acts if made in perceived national interest.

Hour 3 - Where Are the Dads?

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the intersection of culture, media, and masculinity, with Clay Travis leading a passionate monologue on the state of American values and the role of fatherhood in society. The hour opens with a lighthearted update on Buck Sexton’s family travels and a push to grow the show’s YouTube presence, highlighting the shift in media consumption from traditional radio to video-based platforms.

He ties this distortion to rising teen depression, the collapse of race relations, and the influence of movements like BLM. He asserts that society is beginning to reject these distortions and return to more grounded, traditional values.

Listener call-ins and talkbacks add humor and support to the discussion, including a satirical message from “Hunter Biden” and a defense of Kurt Warner. The hour closes with a tribute to the late Malcolm-Jamal Warner and a nostalgic look at the cultural impact of The Cosby Show, reinforcing Clay’s call for a return to media that celebrates strong, present fathers.
