The Karol Markowicz Show: Dave Barry on Humor, Life Lessons, and Finding Joy in Florida

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and urgent breakdown of breaking news, political analysis, and media accountability. The hour opens with a disturbing report of a sniper attack at a Dallas ICE facility, which hosts Clay and Buck’s deep dive into the rise of left-wing political violence and domestic terrorism. The shooter reportedly engraved anti-ICE messages on bullets, echoing previous politically motivated assassinations, including the killing of Charlie Kirk and United Healthcare’s CEO. Buck Sexton, drawing on his counterterrorism background, categorizes the incident as ideologically driven terrorism, criticizing mainstream media outlets like CNN for downplaying motives when violence originates from the political left. The hosts explore the broader implications of anti-law enforcement rhetoric, citing statements from California Governor Gavin Newsom and Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz calls for an end to inflammatory language targeting ICE and CBP agents, warning of real-world consequences. The discussion also highlights how political figures and media narratives may be fueling radicalization by portraying conservatives and law enforcement as fascists. Clay and Buck then pivot to the topic of Big Tech censorship, previewing an upcoming interview with Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan. They discuss Google’s admission that YouTube suppressed conservative voices, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Clay shares personal experiences of being deplatformed for advocating school reopenings and sports resumption, while Buck emphasizes the First Amendment violations tied to government-influenced censorship on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok. The hosts argue for financial accountability and propose the creation of a civil liberties organization to support independent creators silenced by tech giants. The hour also touches on the return of Jimmy Kimmel to late-night television, with Buck dismissing it as a corporate distraction rather than a true free speech victory. The hosts contrast Kimmel’s situation with the systemic suppression of conservative media voices.   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.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political insight, cultural commentary, and exclusive interviews, headlined by a conversation with Congressman Jim Jordan. The hour opens with a deep dive into Big Tech censorship, as Jordan discusses YouTube’s recent admission of suppressing conservative voices, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The hosts and Jordan explore the First Amendment implications, the lack of accountability, and the financial damage inflicted on independent creators and media outlets. Jordan highlights pending legislation that would allow individuals to sue government officials who pressure platforms to censor speech, reinforcing the need for free speech protections in the digital age. The discussion shifts to the Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act, a bipartisan effort to address airline staffing shortages and reduce flight delays. Buck and Clay advocate for keeping skilled pilots in the air, citing safety, efficiency, and passenger satisfaction. Congressman Jordan supports the initiative and recommends engaging Transportation Committee Chairman Sam Graves for further insight.Next, the conversation turns to the Score Act, a bill aimed at reforming college athletics. Jordan outlines its goals: promoting competitive balance, protecting non-revenue and Olympic sports, and ensuring athletes pursue education. The bill seeks to preserve Division I standards and address concerns over frequent transfers and lost academic opportunities. Clay and Buck also tackle the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, arguing that his removal from certain affiliate stations was a business decision, not censorship. They criticize Kimmel’s partisan approach and lack of humor, suggesting that networks like Nexstar and Sinclair are responding to audience demand for more balanced programming. The hour includes a humorous segment on Buck’s quest to hit a 100 mph tennis serve, which segues into a broader conversation about aging, parenting challenges, and sleep regression. Buck shares personal anecdotes about his newborn son and the realities of fatherhood, adding a relatable and lighthearted touch to the show. In a geopolitical pivot, Buck announces his upcoming fact-finding trip to Taiwan, where he’ll meet with senior officials to discuss national security, semiconductor production, and the growing threat from China. He emphasizes Taiwan’s strategic importance, noting that it produces 90% of the world’s advanced semiconductors, making it a critical flashpoint in global politics. The hosts then dissect Gavin Newsom’s claim that there may not be a 2028 election, calling it dishonest fear-mongering designed to energize the Democratic base. Clay offers to bet $10 million that the election will happen, framing Newsom’s rhetoric as dangerous and irresponsible.   The hour wraps with a viral moment from the White House, where President Trump humorously commemorates Joe Biden with an auto-pen image instead of a portrait, showcasing Trump’s unmatched comedic instincts in politics. Clay and Buck argue that Trump’s humor is a key part of his cultural appeal and predict Democrats will soon pivot from demonizing him to lamenting his irreplaceable political presence.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a compelling mix of breaking news, cultural analysis, and political commentary, with a strong focus on law enforcement, media bias, and the future of conservative influence. The hour opens with discussion of Miami potentially hosting the Donald Trump Presidential Library, a symbolic move that underscores Florida’s emergence as the epicenter of the Republican Party. Clay and Buck highlight the significance of Trump’s legacy and contrast it with President Biden’s struggling post-presidency prospects, including reports of difficulty securing paid speaking engagements and donor support. The hosts revisit the ICE facility shooting in Dallas, emphasizing the politically motivated nature of the attack, which included anti-ICE messages engraved on bullets. They explore the broader implications of left-wing political violence, tying it to inflammatory rhetoric from Democratic leaders. Vice President JD Vance’s powerful statement condemning the demonization of law enforcement is played and endorsed, followed by a passionate response from Senator Rick Scott of Florida, who calls for national support of law enforcement and criticizes Democrats for fostering hostility toward officers. Senator Scott also addresses the looming government shutdown, blaming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for obstructing budget negotiations. He supports Senator Ron Johnson’s proposal to maintain government operations using previous funding levels, arguing it’s better than halting essential services. Scott also updates listeners on the confirmation process for Trump administration nominees, revealing that Democrats are systematically blocking appointments, forcing Republicans to change Senate rules to push through over 100 nominees. The hour includes a deep dive into the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, with Clay and Buck analyzing Nexstar and Sinclair’s decision to pull the show from local affiliates. Senator Scott calls Kimmel “toxic” and praises networks for making business decisions that reflect audience values. The hosts argue for a return to balanced late-night comedy, suggesting that shows like Colbert and Kimmel have become vehicles for Democrat propaganda rather than genuine humor. They propose relocating late-night programming to cities like Nashville to escape the ideological echo chambers of New York and LA. Clay and Buck also explore the FCC’s equal time rule, questioning why political comedy shows on public airwaves aren’t held to the same standards as news programs. They suggest that if market-based solutions fail to restore balance, regulatory enforcement might be necessary to ensure fair representation of political viewpoints. Additional segments include listener talkbacks from Alaska, humorous reflections on COVID-era restrictions in New York, and a lighthearted moment featuring Buck’s impersonation of Andrew Cuomo. The hour closes with a preview of future discussions on media fairness and regulatory reform.

Comey Indicted The guys discuss the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey in Northern Virginia. Clay and Buck break down the charges, which include allegations of lying under oath to Congress during the Russia collusion investigation. They analyze the legal and political implications, the challenges of securing a conviction in a heavily Democratic jurisdiction, and the broader debate over a two-tiered justice system. The hosts emphasize that while the indictment is a major development, the likelihood of a conviction remains low due to jury bias and judicial hurdles. They also credit U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan for pushing the case forward despite resistance from career prosecutors. Democrat Games In Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the discussion kicks off with President Donald Trump’s comments on the looming government shutdown and the political battle over federal spending. Trump accuses Democrats of pushing for massive funding for illegal immigrants, tying the debate to Obamacare subsidies and rising healthcare costs. Clay and Buck dive deep into the broken state of the U.S. healthcare system, sharing personal stories that highlight the lack of price transparency, inflated insurance costs, and how illegal immigration strains emergency rooms and taxpayer resources. They argue that Democrats have intentionally created a system that forces Americans to subsidize healthcare for millions of undocumented migrants, driving up premiums and reducing care quality. The hosts also analyze the political theater surrounding shutdown threats, predicting that despite the rhetoric, a deal will eventually be reached—but at the cost of even more government spending. They emphasize how Trump’s messaging power dominates the narrative, framing Democrats as defenders of open borders and taxpayer-funded benefits for non-citizens. Jack Ciattarelli Clay and Buck welcome Jack Ciattarelli, Republican candidate for governor of New Jersey, for an in-depth interview on one of the most competitive gubernatorial races in the country. Ciattarelli outlines his plan to cut taxes, lower electricity rates by exiting the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, end sanctuary state policies, and restore parental rights in education. He slams his opponent for ethics scandals, including undisclosed stock trades and misleading claims about her Naval Academy record, and criticizes her support for progressive policies like biological males competing in women’s sports and mandatory LGBTQ curriculum without parental opt-outs. Ciattarelli argues that Phil Murphy’s legacy of high taxes, rising crime, and failing schools has pushed New Jersey voters toward change, making this race a potential Republican breakthrough in a traditionally blue state. The Next Governor of Florida The show features an exclusive interview with Congressman Byron Donalds, a leading conservative voice and candidate for Governor of Florida. Donalds shares his personal journey from Democrat to Tea Party activist to U.S. Congressman, emphasizing his commitment to keeping Florida the “Free State.” He outlines his priorities as governor: reducing property taxes, stabilizing the insurance market, attracting manufacturing and tech jobs, and eliminating woke policies in schools. Donalds also addresses the looming government shutdown, blaming Senate Democrats for catering to the radical left, and reaffirms his support for law enforcement and parental rights in education. The interview takes a personal turn as Donalds reflects on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, praising his legacy in mobilizing young conservatives and defending Judeo-Christian values. The hour closes with lighter moments, including Donalds’ love for sports, his Florida State Seminoles predictions, and Clay and Buck’s banter about NFL picks and the Ryder Cup.

In Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts dive into a packed news cycle, starting with President Donald Trump’s appearance at the Ryder Cup in New York. Trump received a warm welcome from fans as he cheered on Team USA at Bethpage Black, creating a patriotic atmosphere reminiscent of the Olympics. Clay and Buck discuss Trump’s connection to the golf world, including his relationships with top players like Scottie Scheffler, and highlight the cultural significance of his presence at this major sporting event. The hour’s biggest story centers on the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey in Northern Virginia. Clay and Buck break down the charges, which include allegations of lying under oath to Congress during the Russia collusion investigation. They analyze the legal and political implications, the challenges of securing a conviction in a heavily Democratic jurisdiction, and the broader debate over a two-tiered justice system. The hosts emphasize that while the indictment is a major development, the likelihood of a conviction remains low due to jury bias and judicial hurdles. They also credit U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan for pushing the case forward despite resistance from career prosecutors. Additional topics include the potential for more indictments, the historical context of prosecuting high-profile officials, and the precedent set by previous cases involving Trump allies like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro. Clay and Buck argue that accountability is essential to restoring faith in the rule of law, even if the process itself becomes the punishment.

In Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts dive deeper into the legal and political firestorm surrounding James Comey’s indictment for perjury. Clay and Buck analyze the congressional testimony at the heart of the case, including pointed questioning from Senator Ted Cruz and earlier statements to Senator Chuck Grassley. They break down the challenges prosecutors face in proving Comey knowingly lied under oath about authorizing FBI leaks during the Trump-Russia investigation. The discussion explores the five-year statute of limitations, evidentiary hurdles, and whether the case hinges on insider testimony or circumstantial evidence like email and phone records. Both hosts stress the importance of accountability, noting that Comey aggressively pursued similar charges against Trump allies, and argue that equal justice demands consequences—even if conviction is unlikely due to a favorable judge and jury pool in Northern Virginia. The conversation then shifts to jury bias, venue reform, and systemic fairness, with Clay proposing that federal defendants should have the right to move cases to their home state to avoid politically skewed juries. Buck underscores the symbolic value of the indictment as a deterrent against future abuses of power within federal agencies. Later in the hour, the show features an exclusive interview with Congressman Byron Donalds, a leading conservative voice and candidate for Governor of Florida. Donalds shares his personal journey from Democrat to Tea Party activist to U.S. Congressman, emphasizing his commitment to keeping Florida the “Free State.” He outlines his priorities as governor: reducing property taxes, stabilizing the insurance market, attracting manufacturing and tech jobs, and eliminating woke policies in schools.

In this important episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Cruz and Ben Ferguson take you inside:  James Comey Indictment The episode centers on the claim that former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two counts of lying under oath to Congress. Cruz and Ferguson argue that Comey falsely denied authorizing leaks to the press, while Andrew McCabe’s testimony and evidence suggest otherwise. They frame this as proof that Comey politicized and weaponized the FBI against Donald Trump. Comey’s public response is portrayed as political and deflective rather than factual. The discussion also touches on the statute of limitations, prosecutorial strategy, and the likelihood of conviction. Comey indictment sparks fierce political reactions nationwide Sniper Attack on Dallas ICE Facility (WATCH) The podcast also covers a violent shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, described as politically motivated. Cruz personally recounts being on the scene shortly after the attack. The shooter is linked rhetorically to left-wing ideology and anti-ICE sentiment, with parallels drawn to other recent politically motivated shootings. The hosts criticize Democratic leaders for “demonizing” ICE and argue that their rhetoric fuels such violence. Political Framing The episode repeatedly frames these events within a broader narrative of political weaponization, left-wing hypocrisy, and anti-Trump bias. Cruz portrays Comey as a partisan actor, contrasting his own questioning of Comey with McCabe’s admissions. Violence against law enforcement is positioned as a consequence of inflammatory rhetoric by Democrats. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
