Clay Travis Show: Western Michigan Was ROBBED by the Big Ten

Clay Travis is sounding off after a wild opening weekend of college football — and he says Western Michigan was ROBBED. Clay breaks down the controversial ending of Michigan vs. Western Michigan after the Big Ten restored one second to the clock and gave the Wolverines another Hail Mary attempt. He explains why he believes the decision was indefensible, examines the Big Ten’s explanation and weighs what the controversy means for trust in college football officiating. Then, Clay reacts to LSU’s absolute destruction of Clemson. Is LSU already one of the best teams in America under Lane Kiffin? And has the modern era of NIL and the transfer portal officially passed Dabo Swinney by? Clay explains why LSU-Clemson may represent the ultimate contrast between two completely different approaches to modern college football. Plus, Ole Miss survives Louisville in one of the weekend’s best games, Auburn outlasts Baylor, Notre Dame pulls away from Wisconsin, Miami’s Malachi Toney explodes for a record-setting performance, and Tennessee freshman quarterback Faison Brandon delivers a five-touchdown debut. Clay also takes aim at college football’s disappointing Week 1 schedule and proposes a Big Ten vs. SEC challenge that could transform opening weekend. And Tennessee linebacker Arion Carter turns an NCAA suspension over a $427 flight into something positive by pledging $427 per tackle to cancer research — prompting Clay to announce that he’ll match Carter’s donation for every tackle this season. It’s a packed Labor Day edition of The Clay Travis Show covering Michigan, LSU, Lane Kiffin, Clemson, Dabo Swinney, Tennessee and everything that mattered from college football’s opening weekend.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Lindsay Clancy case has ended in a mistrial, but Buck says the debate over responsibility, mental illness, and accountability is far from over. In this episode, Buck reacts to the mistrial in the case of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three children, and explains why he strongly rejects the argument that her mental state should absolve her of criminal responsibility.

Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz check in on what they call the increasingly bizarre ideas coming from America’s socialist left—from attacks on the “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality to claims that GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are “fascistic” and part of a supposed war on fat people. They also dig into resurfaced comments from Democratic congressional candidate William Lawrence criticizing the nuclear family and capitalism, and Mary Katharine and Karol explain why they believe Republicans should make the fight against socialism a major issue heading into the midterms. Plus, the hosts react to the Pod Save America guys’ confusion over “blood libel” and Passover, debate why progressive cities seem determined to make private philanthropy harder, and look at the Dell family’s massive investment in Trump Accounts for American children. They also discuss Caleb Hammer’s tough-love approach to financial literacy and why younger Americans may need to hear some uncomfortable truths about spending. Finally, Nike’s stock struggles spark a larger conversation about corporate politics, Colin Kaepernick, Dylan Mulvaney, and whether years of alienating customers are finally catching up with one of America’s most recognizable brands.  Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of It’s a Numbers Game, Ryan Girdusky is joined by VoteHub Head of Data Science Zachary Donnini to break down the polling misses shaking up the 2026 election cycle. Why did progressive and DSA-aligned candidates dramatically underperform expectations in Wisconsin and Michigan? Ryan and Zach examine the surge in primary turnout, the growing divide between highly educated urban progressives and white working-class voters, and whether pollsters are once again struggling to accurately measure the electorate. They also dig into Black voter turnout, why Democrats are increasingly focused on electability, the limitations facing far-left candidates outside major cities, and what the latest numbers could mean for Republicans trying to hold the House and Senate in November. Could a small polling error in states like Texas, Ohio, Iowa or Maine determine control of Congress? And are the warning signs from the Rust Belt pointing toward a much different 2026 midterm election than the national polls suggest? Ryan and Zach break down the numbers—and what both parties should be watching as November approaches.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everybody's telling you we're Weimar Germany. The hard right says it, the hard left says it, and both of them want the same thing the Germans got in 1933. This week I sat down with Brandon Gresham — Air Force Security Forces veteran and co-host of I Came With Fire — who actually did the homework on 1919 to 1933, and he says the comparison falls apart on contact except for one lesson nobody wants to hear. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ What you'll hear: • Brandon breaks down why the Weimar comparison collapses the moment you look at 1919 instead of 1933 • The one question that tells you whether you want the country fixed or just want the other side whipped • How propaganda makes you feel like an individual while it herds you into a crowd — with America First as the case study • Why "your vote doesn't count" is the most useful lie anyone in power can get you to believe • The China and Russia info war over American data centers • What Millennials and Zoomers inherited — and were never taught to maintain Brandon Gresham is a U.S. Air Force Security Forces veteran and co-host of the I Came With Fire podcast, where he and Army Special Forces veteran Chris dig into history, propaganda and the forces shaping the West.

As America approaches the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Tudor Dixon sits down with 9/11 widower Giovanni Galante for a deeply personal conversation about loss, remembrance, patriotism, and his fight over the upcoming Ground Zero commemoration. Galante lost his 29-year-old wife, Grace, who worked at the World Trade Center, on September 11, 2001. He recounts rushing toward the Twin Towers that morning in hopes of finding her, witnessing the chaos in Lower Manhattan, and eventually confronting the devastating reality that she wasn't coming home. Twenty-five years later, Galante says America cannot allow the victims of 9/11—or the lessons of that day—to be forgotten. He discusses his effort to keep New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from participating in the anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero, arguing that the solemn commemoration should remain focused on the victims, survivors, and families who continue to carry the scars of September 11. Tudor and Galante also discuss how 9/11 is taught to younger generations, the importance of preserving firsthand stories from that day, the political battles surrounding patriotism and national security, and why Galante believes Americans must once again take pride in their country. Plus, Galante explains how listeners can support his petition and his effort to ensure the 25th anniversary remains centered on honoring those who were lost.  Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show focused heavily on breaking political news, the economic concerns driving the 2026 midterm elections, Democrat Party strategy, and the rising national profile of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). The hosts also discussed media trends, talk radio's influence, and their growing audience presence as the election season intensifies. The hour opened with discussion of the criminal case surrounding the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk. Clay Travis reported that Tyler Robinson had been charged with seven felony counts and entered a not guilty plea. The hosts argued that the upcoming televised trial will draw national attention and predicted that evidence presented in court will play a major role in settling ongoing public debate surrounding the case. They also briefly updated listeners on the still-deadlocked jury deliberations in the high-profile Lindsey Clancy case, noting that no verdict had yet been reached. A major topic throughout Hour 1 was the state of the economy and its impact on the upcoming midterm elections. Drawing from polling data discussed at a Tennessee political event featuring gubernatorial candidate Marsha Blackburn, Travis argued that voters remain overwhelmingly focused on affordability, inflation, and the rising cost of living. The hosts contended that economic concerns, including grocery prices and household expenses, remain the dominant issue for voters across the country. They framed the election environment as a referendum on economic conditions and debated how both parties are attempting to position themselves on inflation, consumer costs, and economic recovery. Battleground states such as Michigan and California were highlighted as examples of differing state-level political dynamics heading into the midterms. The hosts also spent significant time discussing a recent Wall Street Journal profile of the Clay and Buck program. Beyond some lighthearted discussion about photographs used in the feature, the conversation turned toward broader media industry trends. Travis and Sexton examined the continuing evolution of talk radio, podcasts, livestreaming, and digital media. They argued that live radio retains advantages over recorded podcasts because of its ability to respond instantly to breaking news and current events. They also discussed the changing podcast landscape, the growth of conspiracy-driven content online, audience trust, and the importance of maintaining credibility in political commentary and news analysis. Another segment focused on the show's continued expansion, including the announcement of a new radio affiliate in Las Vegas. The hosts discussed the growth of their national audience, cross-platform digital engagement, podcast network performance, and the broader reach of conservative media ahead of a highly competitive election cycle. The most extensive political discussion of Hour 1 centered on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the future of the Democrat Party. Travis and Sexton analyzed a widely circulated TMZ interview in which AOC discussed dating across political lines, family planning, and the costs associated with having children. The hosts argued that AOC has become increasingly effective at presenting herself as relatable and authentic to voters. They suggested that her ability to communicate everyday concerns, particularly affordability, housing costs, healthcare expenses, and family economics, could make her a formidable national political figure. The conversation evolved into a broader assessment of potential Democratic presidential contenders for 2028. The hosts compared AOC's political strengths to those of Kamala Harris and other possible Democratic candidates, debating whether AOC could emerge as a future nominee or vice-presidential pick. They argued that modern campaigns are increasingly driven by personal connection, relatability, social media influence, and perceived authenticity rather than traditional policy expertise. The hosts suggested that AOC's communication style may resonate particularly strongly with younger voters, college-educated women, millennials, and voters concerned about affordability and quality-of-life issues. The hour concluded with listener reaction to the AOC discussion. A caller challenged the idea that the TMZ exchange demonstrated political strength, while the hosts countered that modern political success depends less on formal interviews and more on creating authentic moments that connect with voters. They compared AOC's appeal to skills previously demonstrated by successful national politicians and argued that personality, relatability, and voter connection will continue to shape future elections.
