In this episode, Nicole Saphier sits down with Julian Hagmann, CEO of Caring Professionals, to break down the real state of healthcare in America—with a sharp focus on home care services.

The conversation dives into how current healthcare policies are failing providers and patients, the growing risk of fraud in government healthcare programs, and why stronger oversight is urgently needed. Julian also highlights the overlooked human element of healthcare, calling for policy reforms that empower caregivers, protect vulnerable patients, and strengthen community-based care. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of U.S. healthcare, home health services, and policy solutions that put patients first.

When Politics and Pop Culture Collide Clay and Buck spotlight how the incident dominated headlines and even infiltrated pop culture over the weekend, with celebrities and NBA coaches spreading misinformation. At the Golden Globes, comedian Wanda Sykes wore a pin honoring Renee Good and called the shooting “murder,” while NBA coaches Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers echoed similar claims during post-game press conferences, accusing ICE agents of committing murder and framing the enforcement of immigration law as racist. The hosts dismantle these narratives, citing video evidence showing Good obstructed ICE operations by parking her car perpendicular in the road and refusing to comply, making the shooting a lawful act of self-defense.  But did any of you hear about Harold Harper?  He was the unarmed elderly white man shot in the back by a black man while he was gardening in his front yard in Florida.  Where are the chants to say his name?   The White Liberal Woman Problem Democrats and activist networks are manufacturing outrage over what federal authorities confirm was a lawful use of force. They argue that progressive rhetoric and organized protests are deliberately designed to provoke violent confrontations, citing reports that left-wing groups train activists to obstruct ICE operations and create viral flashpoints. The hosts call for stricter enforcement, including arresting individuals who block immigration raids and even prosecuting those who incite dangerous behavior—such as the partner who shouted “Drive baby drive” moments before the fatal incident.  Clay and Buck play a flashback clip from last October from Chicago, ILL superintendent of police, Larry Snelling, telling city residents not to box in ICE or other law enforcement because it's considered a threat and they can respond with deadly force. The conversation expands to a Portland shooting involving Customs and Border Protection agents, where two suspected members of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua cartel attempted to ram law enforcement vehicles. Buck underscores the cartel’s brutality—highlighting its ties to transnational crime and terrorism—while criticizing Portland Police Chief Bob Day for prioritizing performative apologies over public safety. Clay and Buck argue that progressive leadership in cities like Portland has created lawless environments where criminal gangs thrive, eroding trust in law enforcement and endangering communities. The WWIII People are Wrong Clay and Buck analyze two weeks of massive protests across Iran, sparked by runaway inflation and economic collapse following the failed 12-day war against Israel. The demonstrations began with merchants refusing to sell goods as the Iranian currency became nearly worthless, and have since spread nationwide despite brutal crackdowns and thousands of reported deaths. The hosts highlight the stark contrast between the silence of American college campuses on this issue and their previous activism for Gaza, arguing that identity politics drives selective outrage—since Iranians resisting a theocracy don’t fit the left’s preferred narrative. The discussion explores the historical and geopolitical context of Iran’s Islamic regime, which has ruled since 1979 and transformed a once-modern nation into a failed state. Clay and Buck compare Iran’s decline to Venezuela’s collapse under socialism, noting that both nations squandered vast natural resources through authoritarian mismanagement. They revisit the Obama administration’s misguided nuclear deal strategy, which prioritized appeasement over supporting Iranian freedom, and stress that the regime’s survival perpetuates terrorism and instability across the Middle East. The hosts debate potential U.S. responses, weighing the risks of direct intervention against strategic strikes on IRGC and Basij strongholds. They caution that overt American involvement could allow Tehran to frame the uprising as foreign interference, yet argue that targeted actions might accelerate regime collapse without requiring “boots on the ground.” Iran's Berlin Wall Moment? Listeners with Iranian roots join the conversation, offering passionate firsthand perspectives. Callers describe life before the revolution—when Iran embraced Western freedoms—and advocate for a return to democratic governance, possibly under exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as a transitional figure. They emphasize that Iranians overwhelmingly reject the current regime and would welcome U.S. and Israeli support through precision strikes rather than occupation. Buck explains the complexity of regime change, noting that palace coups and insider defections historically pose the greatest threat to authoritarian systems, while Clay underscores the uncertainty of what comes next if the Ayatollah falls. Both agree that any solution must be authentically driven by the Iranian people to avoid repeating mistakes from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off the week with a fiery breakdown of the Minneapolis ICE shooting controversy and its ripple effects across politics, sports, and entertainment. Clay and Buck spotlight how the incident dominated headlines and even infiltrated pop culture over the weekend, with celebrities and NBA coaches spreading misinformation. At the Golden Globes, comedian Wanda Sykes wore a pin honoring Renee Good and called the shooting “murder,” while NBA coaches Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers echoed similar claims during post-game press conferences, accusing ICE agents of committing murder and framing the enforcement of immigration law as racist. The hosts dismantle these narratives, citing video evidence showing Good obstructed ICE operations by parking her car perpendicular in the road and refusing to comply, making the shooting a lawful act of self-defense. But did any of you hear about Harold Harper?  He was the unarmed elderly white man shot in the back by a black man while he was gardening in his front yard in Florida.  Where are the chants to say his name?   Clay and Buck argue that Democrats and activist networks are deliberately creating confrontational scenarios to undermine immigration enforcement and vilify federal officers. They highlight organized protests in Minneapolis featuring agitators banging drums and screaming in ICE agents’ faces, as well as land acknowledgments claiming “no one is illegal on stolen land.” The hosts expose the hypocrisy of these arguments, noting that left-wing activists reject the rule of law while embracing performative gestures rooted in race-based ideology. They also discuss the Trump administration’s surge of 1,000 additional ICE agents to Minneapolis, reinforcing its commitment to deporting illegal immigrants—an effort that has already removed an estimated 2.5 million individuals from the country. The conversation expands to broader immigration policy, warning that Democrats aim to reverse enforcement measures if they regain power. Clay and Buck stress that immigration law exists to protect public safety and sovereignty, and obstructing ICE operations is both dangerous and criminal. They compare this tactic to federal laws that harshly penalize blocking abortion clinics, underscoring what they see as selective enforcement and political opportunism. Hour 1 also touches on cultural absurdities, including Georgetown University’s campus tours beginning with land acknowledgments and the ideological drift of elite institutions. The hosts critique the left’s fixation on “stolen land” rhetoric and dismantle romanticized myths about pre-colonial societies, citing historical evidence of tribal warfare and primitive living conditions. They argue that modern infrastructure and governance have delivered immense progress compared to the Stone Age realities of indigenous life. This hour blends breaking news, cultural analysis, and historical perspective, making it essential listening for anyone tracking the intersection of immigration enforcement, media bias, and progressive activism.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a hard-hitting analysis of the Minneapolis ICE shooting controversy and the broader cultural and political narratives surrounding immigration enforcement. Clay and Buck begin by exposing how Democrats and activist networks are manufacturing outrage over what federal authorities confirm was a lawful use of force. They argue that progressive rhetoric and organized protests are deliberately designed to provoke violent confrontations, citing reports that left-wing groups train activists to obstruct ICE operations and create viral flashpoints. The hosts call for stricter enforcement, including arresting individuals who block immigration raids and even prosecuting those who incite dangerous behavior—such as the partner who shouted “Drive baby drive” moments before the fatal incident. The conversation expands to a Portland shooting involving Customs and Border Protection agents, where two suspected members of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua cartel attempted to ram law enforcement vehicles. Buck underscores the cartel’s brutality—highlighting its ties to transnational crime and terrorism—while criticizing Portland Police Chief Bob Day for prioritizing performative apologies over public safety. Clay and Buck argue that progressive leadership in cities like Portland has created lawless environments where criminal gangs thrive, eroding trust in law enforcement and endangering communities. From immigration enforcement, the discussion pivots to California’s proposed 5% wealth tax on billionaires, which is triggering an exodus of tech elites such as Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and David Sacks to states like Florida and Texas. The hosts blast the hypocrisy of Silicon Valley billionaires who funded woke policies only to flee when those same policies threaten their fortunes. They warn that punitive taxation and progressive governance are accelerating economic decline in blue states while strengthening red-state economies under leaders like Governor Ron DeSantis. Hour 2 also tackles celebrity influence and misinformation, responding to recent comments from Wanda Sykes, Steve Kerr, and Doc Rivers, who falsely labeled the ICE shooting as “murder.” Clay and Buck argue that celebrity activism distorts facts and manipulates public opinion, making it critical for listeners to push back against narratives that undermine law and order. They further highlight Ilhan Omar’s controversial remarks, which suggest ICE agents should avoid danger rather than enforce the law—a stance the hosts call absurd and dangerous. This hour blends breaking news, cultural critique, and economic insight, offering listeners a clear-eyed perspective on immigration enforcement battles, progressive hypocrisy, and the political realignment reshaping America.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show shifts focus to what could be the most consequential global story of the year: the growing Iranian uprising against the Ayatollah’s regime. Clay and Buck analyze two weeks of massive protests across Iran, sparked by runaway inflation and economic collapse following the failed 12-day war against Israel. The demonstrations began with merchants refusing to sell goods as the Iranian currency became nearly worthless, and have since spread nationwide despite brutal crackdowns and thousands of reported deaths. The hosts highlight the stark contrast between the silence of American college campuses on this issue and their previous activism for Gaza, arguing that identity politics drives selective outrage—since Iranians resisting a theocracy don’t fit the left’s preferred narrative.

They revisit the Obama administration’s misguided nuclear deal strategy, which prioritized appeasement over supporting Iranian freedom, and stress that the regime’s survival perpetuates terrorism and instability across the Middle East. The hosts debate potential U.S. responses, weighing the risks of direct intervention against strategic strikes on IRGC and Basij strongholds.

Both agree that any solution must be authentically driven by the Iranian people to avoid repeating mistakes from Iraq and Afghanistan. Hour 3 closes by framing this moment as potentially Iran’s Berlin Wall event, with global implications for freedom, Islam’s political trajectory, and U.S. foreign policy under President Trump. The segment also previews tomorrow’s Supreme Court case on transgender athletes, promising another major cultural debate. This hour delivers a compelling mix of breaking international news, historical analysis, and real voices from the Iranian diaspora, making it essential listening for anyone following Middle East politics and America’s role in shaping global democracy.
