In this hard-hitting BONUS episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson pull back the curtain on the real reason behind the government shutdown: Democrat obstruction. Led by Senator Chuck Schumer, the Left is accused of deliberately keeping the government closed to push a radical agenda — including taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. Cruz and Ferguson highlight how Republicans are fighting to reopen the government and protect American workers, while Democrats play politics at the expense of federal employees and national security. President Trump is commended for his decisive leadership, using Defense Department funds to ensure our service members are paid — a move that exposes the Left’s failed strategy. The episode also covers the upcoming “No Kings Rally,” a far-left protest in D.C., which Cruz suggests is part of the Democrats’ broader anti-Trump narrative. He predicts the shutdown will only end when moderate Democrats stand up to their party’s extreme wing. In a moving second half, Cruz honors Charlie Kirk during his posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony. With heartfelt reflections on Kirk’s legacy, Cruz shares how Erica Kirk’s public forgiveness of her husband’s killer was a powerful act of Christian grace. Kirk is remembered as a bold voice for truth, freedom, and faith — a modern-day martyr compared to Lincoln and MLK. Highlights Include: Democrat-led shutdown and its impact on American families Trump’s leadership and defense of military pay Radical immigration policies exposed Tribute to Charlie Kirk’s life, faith, and conservative influence Christian forgiveness and moral courage in the face of tragedy Tune in now for a passionate defense of conservative values and a tribute to one of the movement’s most inspiring voices.

Trump is Feelin' It President Donald Trump’s high-stakes diplomacy, including his call with Vladimir Putin and efforts to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine. They analyze Trump’s strategy to pressure Russia by potentially supplying Ukraine with long-range weapons capable of striking inside Russian territory, and the economic leverage involving oil and gas markets. The conversation expands to Trump’s simultaneous trade showdown with China, highlighting looming 100% tariffs on Chinese goods and the global battle over rare earth minerals critical to modern technology. The hosts explore whether Trump can realistically achieve a ceasefire in Ukraine, the risks of escalation—including nuclear threats—and the role of frozen Russian assets in Europe as a potential game-changer. They also touch on U.S. defense production challenges, noting America’s limited capacity to ramp up weapons manufacturing compared to Russia’s reserves, and how winter conditions in Ukraine could stall battlefield advances and open a window for negotiations. Clean Up on Isle Amanpour  A sharp critique of CNN’s Christiane Amanpour after her controversial claim that Israeli hostages were “treated better than the average Gazan.”  Clay and Buck play the original clip and her subsequent apology, arguing that her first statement reveals the media’s bias toward Hamas narratives. They dismantle myths of “genocide” and “starvation” in Gaza, underscore Hamas’s use of civilians as human shields, and stress the moral clarity of Israel’s position in the conflict. The conversation pivots to major breaking news: President Donald Trump’s tweet summarizing his lengthy call with Vladimir Putin. Trump described the exchange as “very productive,” noting Putin congratulated him on Middle East peace efforts and agreed to high-level talks aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Clay and Buck analyze the geopolitical stakes, including Trump’s upcoming Oval Office meeting with President Zelensky, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s role in negotiations, and Hungary as a potential summit location. Mamdani is Wrong About Everything New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum. Clay and Buck critique Mamdani’s evasive answers on whether Hamas should disarm, comparing his rhetorical style to Abigail Spanberger’s non-answers. They warn that Mamdani’s progressive proposals—such as rent freezes and city-run grocery stores—reflect economic illiteracy that worsens housing affordability and cost-of-living crises. The hosts draw parallels to California’s regulatory failures and Canada’s housing costs, arguing government overreach drives prices higher. Democrats Have Become a Slur President Donald Trump’s multi-hour call with Vladimir Putin, which Trump says will lead to high-level advisor meetings and a future summit in Budapest aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Clay and Buck examine Trump’s diplomatic momentum following the Gaza peace deal and discuss whether his approach could reshape global negotiations. The conversation shifts to domestic politics, spotlighting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum. Mamdani refused to credit Trump for the Gaza peace agreement, calling it “too early,” and offered vague answers on Hamas disarmament. Clay and Buck critique Mamdani’s progressive agenda—tax hikes, rent freezes, and city-run grocery stores—arguing these policies would harm New York’s economy and worsen affordability. They also highlight Mamdani’s recent apology to police for past “defund” rhetoric, framing it as political damage control.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into major geopolitical and domestic political stories shaping the news cycle. Clay and Buck open the hour discussing President Donald Trump’s high-stakes diplomacy, including his live call with Vladimir Putin and efforts to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine.  They analyze Trump’s strategy to pressure Russia by potentially supplying Ukraine with long-range weapons capable of striking inside Russian territory, and the economic leverage involving oil and gas markets.

They also touch on U.S. defense production challenges, noting America’s limited capacity to ramp up weapons manufacturing compared to Russia’s reserves, and how winter conditions in Ukraine could stall battlefield advances and open a window for negotiations. Shifting to U.S. politics, Clay and Buck break down a bombshell Axios report revealing that top Democrats are plotting a 2028 primary challenge against Senator John Fetterman. They play clips from Fetterman’s recent NewsNation town hall, where he criticized Democratic extremism and defended Trump voters as “not Nazis,” sparking backlash from the party’s progressive base.  The discussion frames Fetterman as a rare Democrat willing to reject divisive rhetoric, drawing comparisons to Tulsi Gabbard, and examines how this internal feud could fracture Democrats in Pennsylvania—a pivotal battleground state. Additional topics include AOC’s claim that Republicans are misleading young men with “toxic masculinity,” the tightening New York City mayoral race featuring candidate Momani, and signs of a competitive Virginia governor’s race prompting Barack Obama to campaign for Democrats. Clay and Buck also revisit media narratives around Israel and Gaza, debunking exaggerated claims of “genocide” and “starvation,” and calling out CNN’s Christiane Amanpour for controversial remarks about hostages.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of breaking news, cultural commentary, and political analysis. The hour begins with a sharp critique of CNN’s Christiane Amanpour after her controversial claim that Israeli hostages were “treated better than the average Gazan.”  Clay and Buck play the original clip and her subsequent apology, arguing that her first statement reveals the media’s bias toward Hamas narratives. They dismantle myths of “genocide” and “starvation” in Gaza, underscore Hamas’s use of civilians as human shields, and stress the moral clarity of Israel’s position in the conflict.

Clay and Buck analyze the geopolitical stakes, including Trump’s upcoming Oval Office meeting with President Zelensky, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s role in negotiations, and Hungary as a potential summit location. Listeners also enjoy lighter moments as Clay and Buck debate accents, code-switching, and why Americans historically associate British accents with intelligence. They read listener feedback on Clay’s subtle Southern drawl and share humorous anecdotes, including a talkback about baby back ribs and a Catalina Island shark attack story that segues into a discussion on swimming at night and hurricane season preparedness. The hour then shifts to U.S. politics, spotlighting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum. Clay and Buck critique Mamdani’s evasive answers on whether Hamas should disarm, comparing his rhetorical style to Abigail Spanberger’s non-answers.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful mix of political analysis, cultural commentary, and listener engagement. The hour opens with updates on President Donald Trump’s multi-hour call with Vladimir Putin, which Trump says will lead to high-level advisor meetings and a future summit in Budapest aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Clay and Buck examine Trump’s diplomatic momentum following the Gaza peace deal and discuss whether his approach could reshape global negotiations. The conversation shifts to domestic politics, spotlighting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum. Mamdani refused to credit Trump for the Gaza peace agreement, calling it “too early,” and offered vague answers on Hamas disarmament. Clay and Buck critique Mamdani’s progressive agenda—tax hikes, rent freezes, and city-run grocery stores—arguing these policies would harm New York’s economy and worsen affordability. They also highlight Mamdani’s recent apology to police for past “defund” rhetoric, framing it as political damage control. Next, the hosts dive into Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s CNN town hall comments on “toxic masculinity” and Republican success online. AOC claimed conservatives radicalize young men through “insecure masculinity,” sparking a broader discussion on gender politics. Clay and Buck argue Democrats have alienated young men by vilifying masculinity, contrasting today’s cultural climate with the meritocratic ideals of past generations.  They explore how societal shifts—from the rise of social media to the MeToo movement—have fueled resentment among men and contributed to their migration toward the GOP. Buck underscores masculinity’s role in building civilization, while Clay emphasizes the difference between equality and sameness, warning that efforts to blur gender roles have left both men and women dissatisfied. Hour 3 also features listener calls, including a mother explaining why her 21-year-old son voted for Trump after years of being told he was “evil” for being male. The discussion expands into historical context, with Clay noting that slavery existed across all civilizations and that modern narratives often distort history for political gain. Adding a lighter twist, Clay and Buck engage with a caller who completed the Catalina Island swim, sparking a humorous yet fascinating conversation about night swims, shark encounters, and ocean challenges. They debate whether Clay could handle an Alcatraz swim and share anecdotes about great white sightings near Manhattan Beach, blending serious topics with entertaining banter.
