Useless UN A sharp critique of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, highlighting the traffic chaos and questioning why the UN remains in Manhattan instead of a less disruptive location. The hosts then pivot to Donald Trump’s bold remarks at the UN, where he dismissed climate change alarmism and called out global elites. The conversation shifts to the mainstream media’s fading obsession with climate change, referencing a recent New York Times piece asking why the issue has “vanished” from public discourse. Clay and Buck also tackle the Ukraine war fatigue, noting the disappearance of Ukraine flags and waning liberal enthusiasm for the conflict. Next, the hosts take aim at YouTube’s admission of COVID-era censorship, exposing how the platform silenced voices that ultimately proved correct on masking and pandemic policies. This leads to a broader discussion on Big Tech’s role in shaping narratives and stifling dissent. Kamala Catastrophe Kamala Harris’s new book tour for 107 Days and her disastrous past interview moments, including the infamous “not a thing I would have done differently” answer about the Biden administration. The hosts analyze why this response reinforced perceptions of Harris as unprepared and politically tone-deaf, and they debate what her future in the Democratic Party looks like heading into 2026. They Will Do It Again Big Tech censorship and free speech. Clay and Buck focus on explosive revelations that YouTube admitted to suppressing conservative voices at the request of the Biden administration during the COVID-19 pandemic. Clay shares firsthand experiences of demonetization and content removal for questioning mask mandates and vaccine policies—positions later validated by science.  Buck underscores how these actions amounted to government-backed censorship, costing conservative media companies hundreds of millions of dollars and undermining open debate. The hosts criticize the Supreme Court’s failure to address this First Amendment violation, warning that these practices could return under future Democratic administrations. Additional segments highlight the contrast between the media’s outrage over Jimmy Kimmel’s brief suspension and its silence on systemic censorship by tech giants. Clay and Buck argue that while Kimmel missed four shows, countless conservative creators faced long-term suppression and financial harm. They also discuss algorithmic shadow-banning, the lingering effects of being placed on YouTube’s “naughty list,” and why online platforms now function as the modern public square. Shady Lady A deep look at the New Jersey governor’s race, where Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill faces scrutiny over allegations of questionable stock trades. Clay and Buck break down reports that Sherrill’s net worth skyrocketed from a few million to roughly $12 million while serving in Congress, despite an annual salary of $174,000.  They discuss her awkward response to Charlemagne tha God’s question about making $7 million in trades and explore the broader issue of insider trading in Congress, calling for mandatory blind trusts or index fund requirements to restore public trust.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a hard-hitting discussion on politics, media bias, and Big Tech censorship. The hour opens with a deep dive into Kamala Harris’s controversial new book and her headline-making interview with Rachel Maddow. Clay and Buck analyze Harris’s explanation for choosing Tim Walz as her running mate, revealing her claim that selecting Pete Buttigieg would have been “too risky” because of his sexuality.  The hosts argue this exposes the identity politics contradictions within the Democratic Party, particularly tensions between progressive ideals and the voting behavior of key demographic groups. They also explore Harris’s political future, her refusal to rule out a 2028 presidential run, and why Gavin Newsom’s lack of support signals internal Democratic fractures. The conversation then pivots to Big Tech censorship and free speech, focusing on explosive revelations that YouTube admitted to suppressing conservative voices at the request of the Biden administration during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into explosive political and cultural stories shaping the national conversation. The hour begins with a deep look at the New Jersey governor’s race, where Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill faces scrutiny over allegations of questionable stock trades. Clay and Buck break down reports that Sherrill’s net worth skyrocketed from a few million to roughly $12 million while serving in Congress, despite an annual salary of $174,000. They discuss her awkward response to Charlemagne tha God’s question about making $7 million in trades and explore the broader issue of insider trading in Congress, calling for mandatory blind trusts or index fund requirements to restore public trust. The conversation then pivots to breaking news: a guilty verdict in the second assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. The hosts detail how the would-be assassin set up a sniper position at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course just weeks after the Butler, Pennsylvania rally shooting. They highlight the alarming rise in left-wing political violence, citing a new Atlantic report showing far-left attacks now outnumber those by the far right for the first time in decades. Clay and Buck argue that incendiary rhetoric from Democrats—such as Kamala Harris comparing Trump to a “communist dictator” during her Rachel Maddow interview—fuels this dangerous trend. The hour also covers media and cultural flashpoints, including Disney+ hiking subscription prices amid ongoing backlash over Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension and return. Clay and Buck note how streaming costs now rival or exceed traditional cable bills, undermining the original promise of savings. They also tackle the bizarre downfall of former media star Keith Olbermann, who issued an apology after a tweet interpreted as a violent threat against CNN’s Scott Jennings.  The hosts reflect on Olbermann’s trajectory from ESPN icon to MSNBC anchor to controversial figure, contrasting his past influence with his current controversies. Listener calls and talkbacks close out the hour, featuring reactions to congressional stock trading scandals, Trump’s salary donation, and the tightening New Jersey governor’s race, where Republican Jack Ciattarelli is polling neck-and-neck with Sherrill. The segment ends with shocking courtroom drama: the convicted Trump assassin reportedly attempted self-harm after the verdict.

Charlie's Memorial Clay and Buck reflect on the memorial event for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, whose recent assassination has galvanized the conservative movement. There was a massive turnout in Phoenix — nearly 90,000 attendees — with impactful speeches delivered by Vice President JD Vance, President Donald Trump, Senior White House Advisor Steven Miller, and Charlie's widow, Erika Kirk, whose message of forgiveness and revival resonated deeply across the country. Erika Kirk’s speech, delivered just 48 hours after her husband’s death, is highlighted as the most compelling moment of the day. Her biblical reference and refusal to incite violence underscore the conservative response to tragedy—marked by peace, unity, and spiritual renewal. Clay and Buck contrast this with leftist reactions to political violence, criticizing the media’s silence and the justification of riots as “the voice of the voiceless.” Don't Forget This Clay and Buck discuss the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh by a trans-identifying individual, noting the lack of media coverage and accountability, and tying it to the leaked Roe v. Wade decision. Kimmel Comeback? Clay and Buck discuss the controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from ABC, exploring the intersection of media bias, corporate strategy, and political influence. The hosts argue that Kimmel’s suspension was not a principled stand against offensive content, but rather a calculated move by Disney CEO Bob Iger to curry favor with the Trump administration.  This theory is tied to Disney’s reported interest in acquiring the NFL Network, a deal that would require regulatory approval and political goodwill. The conversation also highlights the role of affiliate networks like Nexstar and Sinclair, which may choose not to carry Kimmel’s show even if ABC reinstates him, further complicating the media landscape. The hosts draw comparisons to past cancellations of conservative figures such as Roseanne Barr and Gina Carano, both of whom were removed from Disney projects for controversial speech. They argue that the selective outrage and inconsistent enforcement of speech standards reveal a deep ideological bias within corporate media. Clay and Buck emphasize their support for free speech across the board, even defending figures they personally disagree with, and criticize the hypocrisy of those who only defend speech when it aligns with their politics. New Face of Dem Party? Political analysis continues with a breakdown of polling data showing Republicans leading Democrats on key issues like the economy, immigration, and crime. The hosts highlight the media’s failure to cover the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, noting the suspect’s transgender identity and linking it to a disturbing pattern of transgender-related violence in recent high-profile cases. They criticize the Biden administration’s vague responses and lack of transparency on the issue, arguing that the media and political establishment are ignoring a growing trend. The show also features a viral moment from Virginia Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, who dodges a direct question about her stance on transgender bathroom and locker room policies. The hosts praise the reporter, Nick Minock, for pressing the issue and use the exchange to underscore what they see as the Democratic Party’s refusal to engage honestly on cultural issues. They argue that if a politician won’t answer a basic question about gender policy, they can’t be trusted on anything else.   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
