Buck Brief - Why The Left Freaked Out About Sydney Sweeney

Kamala Reappears The guys break down Former Vice President Kamala Harris’s reemergence in the media spotlight via her extended interview with Stephen Colbert, marking her first public appearance since losing the 2024 election. The hosts dissect Harris’s decision not to run for California governor, despite favorable polling, and her claim that the political system is “broken.” They argue this is a deflection from her long-standing role within that very system, suggesting her advisors see a gubernatorial run as a step backward. The conversation pivots to speculation about her potential presidential ambitions, with both hosts asserting that her candidacy would benefit Republicans due to her perceived lack of political effectiveness.   Clay and Buck critique Harris’s leadership, branding her as emblematic of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) politics and lacking substance. They highlight her vague response to questions about Democratic Party leadership, framing it as evasive and uninspiring. The hosts also scrutinize Stephen Colbert’s partisan bias, noting his history of hosting only Democratic guests and his derogatory remarks about President Donald Trump, whom they defend as the current president. Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno Senator Moreno gives a deep dive into the viral Cincinnati mob attack on Holly, a middle-aged single mother of a special needs child, and her friend. Senator Moreno recounts the brutal incident, highlighting the failure of local law enforcement, the understaffed Cincinnati police department, and the lack of leadership response from figures like Congressman Greg Landsman and the city’s mayor. Moreno calls for urgent reform, threatening to push for federal funding suspension if Cincinnati fails to implement a safety plan within 30 days. The story underscores broader concerns about violent crime in American cities, with parallels drawn to issues in Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, and Dayton.   The conversation pivots to media bias, with criticism of outlets like CNN and The New York Times for downplaying the attack and misidentifying Holly as a Russian national. The hosts and Moreno argue that if racial roles were reversed, the incident would dominate national headlines, sparking debates on white supremacy and racial justice. Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin  Senator Mullin joins to discuss the Senate nomination bottleneck, revealing that Democrats have filibustered nearly every Trump administration nominee, breaking historical norms. Mullin outlines potential rule changes, including invoking the nuclear option, to overcome the gridlock and accelerate confirmations of U.S. attorneys, judges, and executive appointments. Data Guru Ryan Girdusky Political strategist and podcast host Ryan Girdusky joins to analyze shifting voter demographics and the evolving political landscape. Girdusky highlights a dramatic 44-point swing among men under 30 toward the Republican Party, citing Pew Research data and insights from progressive analyst David Shor. He attributes this trend to cultural backlash against the Democratic Party’s perceived authoritarianism, especially during COVID-19, and the influence of Gen X parents—now the most Republican demographic. Girdusky also discusses the growing Latino support for Republicans, noting that two-thirds of Biden-to-Trump voters are not returning to the Democratic Party, signaling a long-term political realignment. The conversation also explores the future of Kamala Harris, the rise of progressive figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC, and the impact of gerrymandering on congressional control. Girdusky argues Democrats are more aggressive in redistricting, citing states like Illinois and Maryland, and warns that the party’s shift leftward may alienate moderate voters.

🛫 1. Aviation Safety and the Rotor Act Incident Overview: The discussion begins with a tragic aviation accident that occurred on January 29, involving a collision between an Army Blackhawk helicopter and an American Airlines plane over Ronald Reagan National Airport, resulting in 67 fatalities. Personal Connection: Senator Cruz recounts how his wife was scheduled to land at Reagan that night and was diverted, adding a personal dimension to the tragedy. Legislative Response: Cruz introduces the Rotorcraft Operations Transparency and Oversight Reform (ROTOR) Act, which mandates that all aircraft operating in commercial airspace—military and civilian—must be equipped with both ADSB OUT and ADSB IN technology. These systems enhance aircraft visibility to air traffic control and other aircraft, potentially preventing such collisions. Bipartisan Appeal: While the bill was initially introduced without Democratic co-sponsors, Cruz emphasizes its nonpartisan nature and expresses hope for bipartisan support. Support and Testimonies: The episode includes remarks from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, affected family members, and Cruz himself, all advocating for the legislation as a necessary step to improve aviation safety. 🕵️‍♂️ 2. FBI and the Russia Investigation New Revelations: The second half of the podcast shifts to recent intelligence suggesting that the FBI played a complicit role in the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, allegedly driven by the Clinton campaign. Declassified Intel: Former CIA Director John Ratcliffe is expected to release classified documents that reportedly show the FBI’s involvement was predicted with “alarming specificity.” Calls for Accountability: Cruz and Ferguson discuss the need for legal consequences, particularly for figures like Andrew McCabe, whose alleged misconduct may still fall within the statute of limitations. Tone and Style: The segment includes a mix of serious political commentary and light-hearted banter, including jokes about podcast bloopers and a humorous aside about watching Happy Gilmore 2.

New C&B Steak Bet! Kamala Harris announced she will not run for California governor in 2026. Clay and Buck analyze her new book, 107 Days, and preview her upcoming appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert—her first major interview since her 2024 presidential campaign defeat. Clay and Buck make a new steak bet about Kamala Harris’s political future. They engage in a spirited discussion over whether Harris will run for president in 2028. Clay argues she will, citing her age, lack of alternative pursuits, and her unique position as a Black female candidate with strong name recognition. Buck counters that Harris is politically finished, suggesting she’s more likely to take a ceremonial role at a university or think tank. The conversation touches on Democratic Party strategy, the importance of the South Carolina primary, and the influence of figures like James Clyburn. Mayor Mamdani? The conversation shifts to New York City politics, where the hosts critique mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for his past support of defunding the police and his proposal for city-run grocery stores. They warn that his policies could lead to economic and public safety disasters, drawing comparisons to failed socialist models. The segment includes a broader critique of progressive governance and its effects on urban housing, crime, and affordability. Dr. Oz on the Future of Healthcare Dr. Oz, now serving as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Trump administration, outlines the administration’s ambitious healthcare agenda. He addresses the skyrocketing cost of healthcare in America, the chronic disease epidemic, and the mental health crisis, emphasizing the role of loneliness as a key driver of poor health outcomes. Dr. Oz also highlights a recent White House event where major tech and healthcare companies pledged to return control of medical records to patients and modernize healthcare through digital innovation. A major focus is the “big beautiful bill” that introduced work requirements for Medicaid recipients, aiming to restore dignity and autonomy to able-bodied Americans while preserving the program’s integrity. Dr. Oz defends the policy as a moral and economic imperative, drawing parallels to President Clinton’s welfare reform. The conversation shifts to prescription drug pricing, where Dr. Oz announces a new “most favored nation” pricing policy to combat global freeloading and reduce U.S. drug costs. He compares this initiative to NATO’s cost-sharing model, asserting that America should no longer bear the financial burden of global pharmaceutical R&D alone. Technology’s transformative role in healthcare is another key theme. Dr. Oz discusses how AI, robotics, and automation will streamline care, reduce administrative waste, and combat fraud—highlighting a recent $15 billion DOJ takedown of a multinational criminal network exploiting Medicare. FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak joins the show to discuss the agency’s efforts to protect consumers from sophisticated scams, including AI-driven voice cloning fraud. She outlines the FTC’s enforcement mechanisms, collaboration with the DOJ, and focus on anti-competitive mergers in the fast-evolving tech sector. Holyoak also promotes the FTC’s “Made in USA” labeling enforcement, encouraging businesses and consumers to report violations.   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/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
