Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and wide-ranging discussion on the most pressing political and cultural issues of the day. The hour opens with a sobering update from Texas Senator John Cornyn on the devastating Hill Country flooding, which has claimed over 120 lives and left 170 missing. The hosts and Senator Cornyn explore the urgent need for improved flood warning systems and emergency preparedness, especially for nighttime disasters.

The conversation shifts to a shocking ambush on federal law enforcement officers in Alvarado, Texas, where 11 suspects have been charged. Senator Cornyn condemns the attack and links it to escalating anti-police rhetoric, emphasizing the need for strong support of ICE and law enforcement agencies.

Illegal immigration and border security take center stage as Cornyn praises the Trump administration’s efforts to restore control at the southern border. He highlights the renewed morale among Border Patrol agents and the shift from humanitarian overload to national security enforcement.

The hour also dives into the high-stakes 2026 Texas Senate race. Senator Cornyn discusses potential challengers, including Ken Paxton and Jasmine Crockett, and the strategic importance of maintaining Republican control in a politically pivotal state. The hosts speculate on whether President Trump will weigh in on the primary, underscoring the national implications of the race.

Economic policy is another major theme, with detailed analysis of the recently passed “Big Beautiful Bill.” Cornyn and Congressman Jim Jordan tout the bill’s middle-class tax cuts, investment in border security, and pro-growth reforms. They argue it will stimulate job creation, repatriate manufacturing, and shield Americans from inflation-driven tax hikes.

The show also covers the evolving landscape of college athletics, focusing on bipartisan legislation to regulate NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) compensation. Congressman Jordan outlines a proposed federal framework to protect student-athletes, enforce agent transparency, and establish eligibility standards—aiming to bring order to what he calls a “broken” system. Listeners are encouraged to support Texas flood victims through fundraising efforts promoted on ClayandBuck.com.

The hour concludes with a spirited discussion on public etiquette—particularly the viral controversy over airplane deboarding behavior—and a lighthearted exchange about sports, golf scores, and President Trump’s rumored plans for a UFC fight on the White House lawn.
