Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H3 - James Blair, WH Deputy Chief of Staff, on Clean Up in Aisle Biden
Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the intersection of sports, culture, and politics, delivering a compelling mix of commentary and breaking news. This hour kicks off with a heated discussion surrounding the viral WNBA incident involving Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, which sparked a broader cultural debate. The hosts analyze the fallout from ESPN personalities Robert Griffin III and Ryan Clark, highlighting the racial and personal tensions that erupted over a simple foul in a women’s basketball game. The segment underscores how Clark’s rising stardom is reshaping the WNBA and exposing underlying resentments within the league. The conversation transitions into a broader cultural critique, with Clay and Buck exploring how race, media narratives, and sports intersect in today’s polarized environment. They draw parallels to historical moments in tennis and golf, emphasizing how stars like Serena Williams and Tiger Woods were embraced across racial lines—contrasting that with the current backlash against Clark. In the political arena, the hosts welcome White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair, who provides exclusive insights into the forthcoming “Big Beautiful Bill.” Blair outlines the bill’s key components, including historic middle-class tax cuts, increased border security funding, military modernization, and aggressive fiscal reforms aimed at reducing the national deficit. He also teases the potential announcement of the “Golden Dome” missile defense initiative, likened to Israel’s Iron Dome, as part of President Trump’s broader national security strategy. The hour wraps with a fiery exchange on Capitol Hill featuring Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who forcefully defends the administration’s refugee policies against Democratic criticism. Rubio’s assertive stance and communication skills are praised as emblematic of the Trump administration’s media-savvy cabinet.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H2 - WI Sen. Ron Johnson Blasts the Spending Bill
Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a deep dive into the fiscal crisis facing the United States, featuring an in-depth interview with Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. The hour centers on the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill” currently under debate in Congress, which Johnson argues is a misnomer masking a failure to reduce federal spending and national debt. He criticizes the bill for embedding Biden-era budget increases, including COVID-era spending and Medicaid expansion, into the long-term federal budget—moves he says will balloon the national debt from $37 trillion to over $60 trillion in the next decade. Senator Johnson outlines the historical context of federal spending, comparing the current trajectory to post-World War II fiscal policy, and calls for a return to responsible budgeting. He advocates for a line-by-line budget review process to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse, and warns of the dangers of unchecked mandatory spending and the erosion of discretionary budget oversight. Johnson also highlights the risk of the U.S. dollar losing its status as the world’s reserve currency, citing rising interest payments on the debt and recent credit downgrades as red flags. The hour also features a compelling conversation with former NFL kicker and CBS analyst Jay Feely, who is now running for Congress in Arizona’s 5th District to replace Andy Biggs, who is running for governor. Feely discusses his support for President Trump, his stance on conservative values, and his opposition to transgender athletes competing in women’s sports. He shares personal stories from his NFL career, including being spoofed on Saturday Night Live and making a game-winning kick under pressure, drawing parallels between sports discipline and political leadership. Listeners are treated to a blend of fiscal policy analysis, political commentary, and cultural insight, making Hour 2 a must-listen for those interested in the intersection of government spending, conservative politics, and American values.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H1 - We Lived in the Truth
Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with a deep analysis of former President Joe Biden’s recently disclosed prostate cancer diagnosis, questioning the timing and transparency of the announcement. They explore the broader implications of this health revelation, especially in light of previous concerns about Biden’s cognitive decline and the alleged cover-up surrounding his dementia. The discussion is framed around the idea that the administration may have strategically withheld this information to maintain political power and avoid invoking the 25th Amendment. Clay and Buck scrutinize the release of audio from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s 2023 interview with Biden, describing it as damning evidence of the president’s mental unfitness. They argue that the administration knowingly concealed Biden’s deteriorating health while he continued to sign legislation and manage critical national security responsibilities, including access to nuclear codes. The hosts also preview an upcoming appearance by Dr. Nicole Saphier, a medical expert joining the Clay and Buck Podcast Network, who will provide professional insight into the likelihood of Biden’s cancer going undetected despite access to world-class medical care. They cite multiple doctors, including Dr. Zeke Emanuel and Dr. Vin Gupta, who suggest that Biden likely had cancer for years, possibly even before his presidency began. In a broader political context, Clay and Buck propose that the cancer diagnosis may have been part of a calculated plan to allow Biden to step down early in a second term, paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to ascend to the presidency. They argue this would have deflected attention from Biden’s cognitive issues and framed his departure around a sympathetic health crisis. The hour also touches on a significant Supreme Court ruling allowing the Trump administration to revoke legal status for over half a million migrants under Biden’s parole program—an 8-1 decision that marks a major development in immigration policy. Throughout the segment, the hosts emphasize themes of government transparency, media complicity, and political accountability. They assert that the Biden administration’s actions represent one of the most significant political cover-ups in modern American history, comparing it to Watergate in scale and impact.

Daily Review With Clay and Buck - May 23 2025
Two Truths in the Race Debate Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis solo-hosting ahead of Memorial Day weekend, delivering a powerful monologue that blends current events, cultural commentary, and political analysis. The hour opens with a discussion on the four-year low in gas prices, which Travis attributes to the resurgence of the Trump economy. He emphasizes how fuel costs serve as a key economic indicator for everyday Americans, especially in the wake of inflation under the Biden administration. The central theme of the hour is a deep dive into the rise of identity politics and its impact on American society. Travis draws connections between recent violent incidents—including the murder of two Jewish individuals in Washington, D.C., and a fatal stabbing at a Texas high school track meet—and what he sees as a dangerous cultural shift. He argues that modern left-wing ideology has embraced a racially divisive framework, where moral judgment is increasingly based on skin color rather than individual character or actions. Travis critiques the mainstream media and progressive institutions for promoting what he calls a “pernicious racial identity politics,” asserting that this mindset has led to a reversal of civil rights-era progress. He references the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel as a turning point for many Jewish Americans, who he says are now being unfairly categorized as oppressors due to their perceived whiteness. Karol Markowicz on Religious Racism Karol Markowitz joins to discuss rising antisemitism in the U.S. and the Jewish community’s shifting stance on self-defense and gun ownership post-October 7. The segment also touches on the tragic shooting of two Israeli-connected individuals in Washington, D.C., and the broader implications for Jewish safety and political alignment in America. Frank Siller of Tunnel to Towers Honoring America’s fallen heroes ahead of Memorial Day weekend, with a powerful and emotional conversation featuring Frank Siller, Chairman and CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. This hour delivers a heartfelt tribute to military service members, first responders, and their families, while also spotlighting impactful charitable efforts and patriotic initiatives. Frank Siller shares the origins and mission of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, inspired by the heroic sacrifice of his brother, Stephen Siller, on 9/11. The foundation provides mortgage-free homes to Gold Star families and catastrophically injured veterans and is expanding its reach by building homeless veteran villages across the U.S., including in cities like Atlanta, Denver, Buffalo, and Puerto Rico. Siller emphasizes the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by service members and encourages listeners to support the cause by donating $11/month at T2T.org. Clay and Frank reflect on the bravery of the Greatest Generation, particularly those who stormed the beaches of Normandy, and draw parallels to the courage of post-9/11 veterans. They also discuss the upcoming 25th anniversary of 9/11 and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, noting former President Donald Trump’s support for Tunnel to Towers and his plans to commemorate both milestones. WV Gov. Patrick Morrisey on Helping Veterans Become Teachers West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey joins the show to discuss his state’s new “Troops to Teachers” initiative, which streamlines the process for veterans to become educators. Morrissey highlights the leadership and life experience veterans bring to classrooms and how this program addresses teacher shortages while honoring military service. He also praises President Trump’s policies, particularly on energy independence and deregulation, and outlines West Virginia’s economic revitalization efforts, including upcoming announcements tied to the WVU-Pitt “Backyard Brawl” football game.
Hour 1 - Two Truths in the Race Debate

He references the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel as a turning point for many Jewish Americans, who he says are now being unfairly categorized as oppressors due to their perceived whiteness. The host also explores how these cultural dynamics are playing out in sports, particularly in the WNBA. He compares Caitlin Clark’s meteoric rise to that of Tiger Woods and the Williams sisters, arguing that unlike those athletes, Clark is facing hostility from within her league due to racial resentment. Travis contends that this backlash is rooted in the belief that only white people can be racist—a notion he strongly rejects. Throughout the hour, Travis calls for a return to judging individuals by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. He urges listeners to recognize that racism can exist across all racial groups and warns that current trends are echoing the segregationist rhetoric of the 1950s.

Hour 2 - Yes, Reverse Racism Exists
Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the cultural and political controversies surrounding Caitlin Clark’s impact on the WNBA, sparking a provocative discussion on race, gender, and identity politics in professional sports. Clay Travis explores the backlash Clark faces as a white, straight woman entering a predominantly Black and lesbian league, arguing that her presence should be celebrated for the economic boost and visibility she brings—comparing her influence to that of Tiger Woods in golf and Serena and Venus Williams in tennis. The hour features a powerful email from a former Division I women’s basketball player, reinforcing the idea that Clark’s race and sexuality are central to the hostility she faces. Travis critiques the WNBA’s failure to embrace Clark as a transformative figure, highlighting the league’s low salaries and missed opportunity to capitalize on her popularity. The conversation expands into broader societal issues, including the pitfalls of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives, with a particular focus on the concept of “equity” versus “equality.” Travis emphasizes the importance of diversity of thought over cosmetic diversity, using a controversial analogy involving strip clubs to illustrate how true diversity can drive success and profitability. Later in the hour, guest Karol Markowitz joins to discuss rising antisemitism in the U.S. and the Jewish community’s shifting stance on self-defense and gun ownership post-October 7. The segment also touches on the tragic shooting of two Israeli-connected individuals in Washington, D.C., and the broader implications for Jewish safety and political alignment in America. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on the cultural double standards in media narratives and the importance of embracing merit and unity over division.
