Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck - Mar 22 2026

A rapid-fire look ahead at major political concerns: the Senate’s narrowing legislative window before campaign season freezes action; warnings that Democrats would immediately pursue another impeachment if they retake the House; the need to hold the Senate as a firewall; and upcoming topics including new Iran updates, crime statistics showing D.C.’s murder rate hitting a 125‑year low, Joy Behar comparing Trump to Hitler, and New York Governor Kathy Hochul begging wealthy residents to return as New York’s budget collapses. FL Stole the Cash Cows: Clay and Buck discuss domestic policy with a blistering examination of New York’s budget crisis, Kathy Hochul’s plea for rich New Yorkers to return, and the staggering revelation that New York City now spends $81,000 per homeless person per year. Clay and Buck break down how taxpayers are bankrolling bloated nonprofit bureaucracies, fraudulent social‑service programs, and a “homeless‑industrial complex” that consumes billions without improving conditions. They highlight parallel scandals in Minnesota and California, including fake autism‑therapy centers and fraudulent daycares, and argue that Democrats have no interest in reform because these systems function as patronage networks that recycle taxpayer money back into Democratic political power.

Remembering Robert Duvall and his incredible body of work. A caller expresses outrage that Clay and Buck praised The Godfather films, objecting to any positive reference to movies depicting organized crime. This launches a spirited debate about pop‑culture portrayals of the mafia and how Hollywood historically romanticized criminal organizations. Clay and Buck emphasize that discussing classic cinema does not equate to endorsing violence, adding that the modern anti‑hero trend has shaped decades of television—from Tony Soprano to drug‑dealer protagonists—while wholesome father figures have all but vanished. They contrast today’s entertainment landscape with the family‑centric shows of the 1980s and 90s, reminiscing about series like Full House, Family Matters, Growing Pains, Fresh Prince of Bel‑Air, and The Cosby Show. They argue that television once portrayed strong, competent, caring fathers across races and backgrounds, and that there is a massive unmet demand for content showcasing traditional family dynamics in a positive light. From there, Clay and Buck expand into a cultural analysis of Hollywood, arguing that creative industries have increasingly sidelined strong father figures in favor of morally ambiguous anti‑heroes. They discuss how shows like Friday Night Lights offered one of the last great modern TV dads, Coach Eric Taylor, and highlight how casting trends once featured 30‑year‑olds playing teenagers—something TV audiences largely accepted for decades. This leads into a wide‑ranging conversation about movies that “don’t hold up” when viewed with modern sensibilities, including Pretty Woman and Big, as well as bizarre award‑winning films like The Shape of Water. Buck critiques what he sees as Hollywood’s decline into degeneracy, contrasting older classics with today’s prestige films. The hosts also nod to recent standout movies such as All Quiet on the Western Front and Netflix’s newest Frankenstein adaptation, praising them as rare modern exceptions. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez at the Munich Security Conference. Clay and Buck highlight what they describe as an embarrassing inability to articulate a coherent position on whether the United States should defend Taiwan in the event of Chinese aggression. They compare her answer to the infamous Miss Teen South Carolina “maps” moment, even playing a humorous mash‑up of the two clips. The hosts emphasize how AOC’s comments reflect broader issues within identity‑politics‑driven rhetoric—critiquing her statements on “whiteness,” cultural history, and her confusion over basic geopolitical geography, including incorrectly placing Venezuela below the equator.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a high‑energy, politically charged breakdown of the latest developments in Washington, centering on the Iran War, the Save America Act (SAVE Act), and explosive tensions on Capitol Hill. Clay and Buck open the hour by examining escalating national security discussions—including Tulsi Gabbard’s congressional testimony on global threats, continued fallout from Joe Kent’s resignation as NCTC director, and new updates from the evolving conflict in Iran. Both hosts underscore the growing urgency surrounding the SAVE Act, a major election‑security bill they argue is on the brink of defeat in the Senate despite strong grassroots pressure. They warn listeners that Republican leadership appears unwilling to push it across the finish line and emphasize what the bill’s failure would mean for 2026 and beyond. The central drama of Hour 1 unfolds around the contentious confirmation hearing of OK Senator Markwayne Mullin for Secretary of Homeland Security. The transcript captures an unusually heated feud between Mullin and KY Senator Rand Paul, who confronts Mullin over past comments about Paul’s violent assault by a neighbor—a near-fatal incident still deeply personal for the Kentucky senator. Rand Paul accuses Mullin of treating the attack like a joke, while Mullin fires back, calling Paul divisive and insisting he never promotes political violence. Clay and Buck dissect the exchange, stressing that this animosity is real—not political theater—and signaling that Paul is almost certainly a “no” vote on Mullin’s confirmation. They also explore why intraparty combat has become increasingly common, blaming social media, performative outrage, and internal GOP drift. From there, the hosts pivot to broader political analysis, highlighting how Republican infighting jeopardizes the Trump administration’s top agenda items—especially immigration enforcement and deportations, which they argue should be the “number one promise” of Trump’s second term. They criticize prior DHS leadership for mishandling crises such as Minneapolis unrest and the Epstein file fallout, insisting that the role demands a disciplined, competent figure who can rebuild public trust and aggressively enforce border security. The hour then shifts into cultural‑political commentary as Clay and Buck react to MSNBC cutting an hour from Joe Scarborough’s ‘Morning Joe’, joking about declining ratings and media panic. They jump from there into a takedown of Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico, resurfacing his campaign announcement that he refuses to purchase or consume meat—a stance they argue makes him wildly out of touch with Texas voters. Using this and other examples, the hosts describe what they view as the Democratic Party’s deepening disconnect from “normal heterosexual men” and everyday American culture. They emphasize how Democrats have lost the ability to connect with ordinary bar‑stool sports fans, the kind of men cheering for Team USA at the World Baseball Classic—a point Clay illustrates with a story from a sports bar in Florida the night before. Finally, the hour closes with a rapid-fire look ahead at major political concerns: the Senate’s narrowing legislative window before campaign season freezes action; warnings that Democrats would immediately pursue another impeachment if they retake the House; the need to hold the Senate as a firewall; and upcoming topics including new Iran updates, crime statistics showing D.C.’s murder rate hitting a 125‑year low, Joy Behar comparing Trump to Hitler, and New York Governor Kathy Hochul begging wealthy residents to return as New York’s budget collapses.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a fast‑moving mix of national security analysis, Capitol Hill drama, and live listener engagement, all centered around the intensifying Iran conflict, stunning new intelligence developments, and the explosive feud between Senator Rand Paul and Senator Markwayne Mullin. Clay opens the hour by detailing breaking reports that Israel’s Mossad has deeply infiltrated Iran’s leadership ranks, eliminating high‑level officials and even calling Iranian commanders directly to warn them they will be killed if they continue supporting the regime. The hosts analyze how Israel is now targeting Iranian leaders who are hiding in safe houses, remote rural areas, and even parks—striking individuals who believed they were undiscoverable. They discuss the growing wave of ordinary Iranians reportedly tipping off Mossad about regime locations, the broader collapse of Iran’s command structure, and how oil prices are being weaponized as Iran’s last lever against U.S. and Israeli pressure. From there, Hour 2 transitions into the escalating GOP civil war playing out during the DHS secretary confirmation hearings. Clay and Buck revisit archived audio from November 2025 showing Markwayne Mullin mocking Rand Paul and attacking him as “not a real Republican.” This sets the stage for their commentary on the explosive confrontation earlier in the day, where Rand Paul accused Mullin of glorifying the violent assault that nearly killed him. Listeners call in demanding to know why Paul “went soft” after the attack, leading the hosts to clarify that Paul’s attacker was in fact charged with a felony, sentenced, and forced to pay over half a million dollars in damages. Clay and Buck use this exchange to discuss the broader issue of political violence, personal grudges, and the rising tensions inside the Republican Party as the Senate weighs one of the most important national security appointments of the Trump administration. Midway through the hour, Senator Rand Paul joins the show live, offering a fiery, unfiltered explanation of why he will vote against Mullin’s nomination to lead DHS. Paul argues that Mullin’s past comments praising violence, his history of physical confrontations, and his refusal to apologize for celebrating Paul’s assault make him unfit to oversee ICE and Border Patrol. Paul also criticizes Mullin’s “macho” persona and says DHS needs steady, lawful leadership—not someone who cites dueling and caning as historical justifications for political conflict. He further warns that the Iran War is a “war of choice,” predicts it will severely damage Republicans politically due to rising oil prices, and stresses that Congress—not the White House—must maintain constitutional authority over war powers. The senator then addresses the growing grassroots fury over the likely failure of the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship for voting. Paul confirms the bill does not have the votes to pass, blames divisions among Republicans in mail‑in‑ballot states, and notes that while he supports the legislation, GOP resistance from states like Utah, Arizona, and Alaska prevents a unified front. Clay and Buck close Hour 2 by shifting briefly to domestic policy, highlighting the eye‑popping cost of homelessness in New York City—currently equivalent to $80,000 per homeless individual per year—and how government‑funded nonprofits consume massive resources without reducing homelessness. They invite more listener talkbacks about the Rand Paul–Markwayne Mullin feud, emphasizing how rare and dramatic it is to see two high‑profile Republicans openly clash at a moment of escalating global conflict.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a high‑intensity blend of foreign‑policy analysis, Capitol Hill turmoil, national‑security warnings, and sharp commentary on America’s domestic crises. Clay and Buck open the hour by revisiting the political fallout from the Senator Markwayne Mullin vs. Senator Rand Paul feud, noting that Mullin is still expected to be confirmed as DHS Secretary despite their very public clash. The hosts stress that this isn’t mere political theater—the bad blood is personal, not procedural—and they reiterate their commitment to letting both senators voice their case on the show. From there, Hour 3 turns to major national‑security issues, beginning with Tulsi Gabbard’s testimony on Islamist extremism. Clay and Buck break down her warnings about the global spread of Islamist ideology, its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, and the continued threat of radicalization within Western nations. They emphasize Gabbard’s argument that Islamist groups have shifted toward information warfare and propaganda as traditional terror networks lose capability—highlighting this as one of the most significant and under‑discussed national‑security challenges facing the U.S. The hosts then revisit the Joe Kent resignation from NCTC, pushing back on online accusations claiming Kent was “controlled” by foreign influences. They highlight comments from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt describing Kent as patriotic but fundamentally wrong about the Iran strategy—and reinforcing that “no one tells President Trump what to do.” Clay and Buck frame this as an example of healthy disagreement rather than treason, while condemning conspiracy theories circulating online. From there, the conversation deepens into a sweeping foreign‑policy analysis of the Iran War, Israel’s precision leadership strikes, and shifting Middle East alliances. The hosts note how every major U.S. and Israeli adversary—Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iranian leadership, even the Ayatollah’s inner circle—has been decimated since October 7th. They argue that Israel’s aggressive leadership‑targeting strategy contrasts with the U.S. military’s focus on destroying Iranian infrastructure, creating tension between both countries’ endgames. Clay goes further, suggesting the region may ultimately become more stable than at any point in modern history if the Abraham Accords expand to include Saudi Arabia. The hour then pivots to domestic policy with a blistering examination of New York’s budget crisis, Kathy Hochul’s plea for rich New Yorkers to return, and the staggering revelation that New York City now spends $81,000 per homeless person per year. Clay and Buck break down how taxpayers are bankrolling bloated nonprofit bureaucracies, fraudulent social‑service programs, and a “homeless‑industrial complex” that consumes billions without improving conditions. They highlight parallel scandals in Minnesota and California, including fake autism‑therapy centers and fraudulent daycares, and argue that Democrats have no interest in reform because these systems function as patronage networks that recycle taxpayer money back into Democratic political power. The final segment brings listener calls reacting to the Kent resignation, the Mullin–Paul feud, and ideas ranging from reissuing a $500 bill with Donald Trump’s face to broader frustrations with runaway government waste. Clay and Buck close Hour 3 emphasizing Margaret Thatcher’s rule—“socialism works until you run out of other people’s money”—and warning that blue‑state mismanagement will continue driving Americans toward low‑tax states like Tennessee, Texas, and Florida.

Iran Won’t Get Nukes Hour 1 of the Friday edition of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show opens with Clay hosting solo and diving immediately into the latest updates on the rapidly evolving conflict in Iran. Clay emphasizes that despite negative media framing, developments on the ground continue to trend in favor of the United States and its allies. He breaks down President Donald Trump’s newest remarks, highlighting Trump’s assertion that the Iranian navy has been effectively destroyed and that the U.S. will not permit Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. The conversation turns to American public opinion, referencing new Politico polling showing strong voter support for Trump’s strikes in Iran, including overwhelming approval among Trump supporters. Clay also notes that a sizable percentage of Americans overall either support the operation or have no opinion—an unusual level of positivity for any major foreign‑policy action. Clay then explores the strategic debate over what comes next in Iran, examining the possibility of the U.S. seizing Karg Island, Iran’s critical oil‑export hub. He explains how U.S. strikes have been so precise that Iran has continued selling oil uninterrupted, even as its military leadership structure collapses. Clay notes that global oil prices have risen but remain far lower domestically than many experts predicted, undercutting fear‑based narratives about massive price spikes. The hour also addresses claims circulating in the media that Trump is being “controlled” by Israel. Clay dismantles the argument by replaying extensive historical audio clips from the 1980s showing Trump advocating nearly identical Iran policies decades before entering politics. Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest comments reinforce this point, dismissing as “fake news” the idea that Israel is dictating Trump’s decisions. What’s next in Iran? Clay widens the lens to discuss Iran’s internal repression, the morality of U.S. action, and the global stakes. He highlights the execution of a 19‑year‑old Iranian wrestling champion, the coercion of Iranian women’s soccer players whose families face hostage‑like retaliation, and the growing evidence of grassroots resistance within Iran. He underscores the moral clarity offered by Netanyahu’s reminder that “good and evil still exist,” pushing back against modern narratives portraying the U.S. as morally equivalent to its adversaries. The hour also delves into military strategy in the drone era, with Clay pondering whether modern precision‑strike capabilities could enable internal revolution without large-scale U.S. troop deployments—a stark contrast to the cost and casualties of Iraq and Afghanistan. He raises the possibility that Iran’s leadership ranks are being depleted so rapidly that only officials with secret ties to Western intelligence may eventually remain viable. Toward the end of the hour, Clay highlights Middle Eastern geopolitical shifts, noting how Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other regional powers are condemning Iran rather than supporting it, signaling Iran’s growing isolation. Clay also reads new posts from President Trump criticizing NATO nations for complaining about oil prices while refusing to help escort energy shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Katie Miller Katie Miller, host of The Katie Miller Show, former Trump White House official, and proud Florida Gator,  joins Clay to discuss several major stories shaping the political landscape, beginning with the nationwide TSA crisis, where unpaid TSA agents in major cities—including New York, Atlanta, and Houston—are calling out sick and causing multi‑hour airport lines. Miller sharply criticizes Democrats for refusing to fund DHS, arguing that the shutdown is driven by anti‑Trump “derangement” and harms front‑line federal workers such as TSA officers, customs agents, and even Secret Service personnel. The discussion shifts into a deep dive on AI bias, as Miller outlines the ideological leanings she sees embedded within AI platforms like Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT. She highlights how political and cultural bias can influence search results and factual outputs due to training data and developer worldviews, urging parents especially to understand how AI tools shape the information their kids consume. Both Clay and Miller praise Elon Musk’s Grok as a more “truth‑seeking” alternative in an AI market they characterize as dominated by left‑wing programmers. The conversation then pivots to Tesla Full Self-Driving, with both Clay and Miller enthusiastically describing how dramatic improvements in autonomous driving have transformed their daily routines—especially for parents juggling young kids in the car. Miller emphasizes safety statistics and explains how Tesla’s system learns from millions of real‑world driving scenarios, making it increasingly effective at navigating hazards, unpredictable drivers, and even malfunctioning traffic lights. Caller questions later in the hour prompt Clay to discuss how self‑driving handles sudden road obstacles, including animals, and why the vehicle’s real‑time camera system often reacts faster than human drivers. Remembering Chuck Norris Clay breaks the new of Chuck Norris’s passing at age 86. He honors the martial‑arts icon with audio clips reflecting his political evolution from Democrat to Republican, along with a montage of the legendary “Chuck Norris facts” that became one of the internet’s earliest viral meme phenomena. The remembrance blends humor and nostalgia, spotlighting Norris’s enduring influence on American pop culture.

Finally, the hour closes on a lighter cultural note as Clay plays jubilant student radio audio from High Point University’s NCAA Tournament upset over Wisconsin, tying in March Madness chatter and welcoming listener calls. The segment features exchanges with callers on the Iran conflict, oil policy, and broader strategic choices—underscoring the complexity of the situation and Clay’s insistence that callers “have a take” if they enter the debate.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show features a fast‑paced and wide‑ranging conversation packed with politics, technology, national‑security concerns, cultural commentary, and audience interaction. The hour opens with a lively interview with Katie Miller, host of The Katie Miller Show, former Trump White House official, and proud Florida Gator. She joins Clay to discuss several major stories shaping the political landscape, beginning with the nationwide TSA crisis, where unpaid TSA agents in major cities—including New York, Atlanta, and Houston—are calling out sick and causing multi‑hour airport lines. Miller sharply criticizes Democrats for refusing to fund DHS, arguing that the shutdown is driven by anti‑Trump “derangement” and harms front‑line federal workers such as TSA officers, customs agents, and even Secret Service personnel.

Caller questions later in the hour prompt Clay to discuss how self‑driving handles sudden road obstacles, including animals, and why the vehicle’s real‑time camera system often reacts faster than human drivers. Midway through the hour, Clay revisits the national TSA meltdown, taking calls from current TSA employees who describe working without pay, being threatened with AWOL penalties, and watching coworkers quit under financial pressure. Clay underscores the national‑security risk posed by understaffed checkpoints—especially amid recent terror‑related incidents in multiple U.S. cities—and argues that members of Congress should lose their own pay during funding standoffs to end shutdown theatrics. The second half of Hour 2 brings a shift in tone with the breaking news of Chuck Norris’s passing at age 86. Clay honors the martial‑arts icon with audio clips reflecting his political evolution from Democrat to Republican, along with a montage of the legendary “Chuck Norris facts” that became one of the internet’s earliest viral meme phenomena. The remembrance blends humor and nostalgia, spotlighting Norris’s enduring influence on American pop culture. The hour closes with more listener calls—including a detailed question about autonomous‑vehicle safety in rural areas—and Clay offering assurances that Tesla’s system continues improving through constant data analysis and software updates. He ends by teasing an upbeat third hour filled with positive news heading into the weekend.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show wraps up the week with a fast‑moving mix of breaking news, positive national updates, in‑depth political analysis, and high‑energy March Madness reactions. Clay opens the final hour by revisiting the central foreign‑policy question dominating the news cycle: how the conflict in Iran will ultimately conclude, including whether President Donald Trump will escalate by seizing Karg Island or push NATO allies to secure the Strait of Hormuz. Clay notes that oil futures have stabilized around the mid‑$90 range, undermining media predictions of severe economic fallout. Clay then unveils the “objectively great news” he promised listeners—historic drops in violent crime nationwide. Citing new reporting and publicly available data, he highlights that America hit a 125‑year low in the national murder rate last year and may break that record again in 2026. He emphasizes that Washington, D.C., often depicted as a symbol of urban crime, has seen a stunning 65% decline in murders year‑to‑date, along with major decreases in robbery, sex crimes, auto theft, property crime, and arson. Clay argues that Trump’s surge in law‑enforcement support—paired with a hard‑line anti‑crime message—has delivered dramatic results that the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge. He continues the theme with additional positive news: Memphis, Tennessee, another high‑crime city, is reporting a 25‑year low in violent crime. Clay says the numbers point to one of the most significant nationwide reductions in violent crime in U.S. history, asserting that Trump has “saved more Black lives” by cutting urban violence than any prior president. Following the upbeat crime‑data segment, Clay pivots to the NCAA Tournament, sharing real‑time reactions as his kids cheer a wild overtime finish between Santa Clara and Kentucky. The hour blends sports excitement with news commentary, creating the show’s signature mix of politics and cultural energy. Clay then highlights a surprising moment from The View, where guest cohost Sara Eisen effectively explains why Iran poses a real threat—laying out Iran’s history of terrorism, nuclear ambitions, and hostility toward the U.S.—and provides rare agreement across the political spectrum on the justification for American action. Next, Clay focuses on Senator John Fetterman’s political shift, examining new polling showing a massive drop in support among Pennsylvania Democrats. Clay suggests Fetterman now aligns more closely with Republicans on several issues and may ultimately need to switch parties or run as an independent to remain viable in 2028. The hour also features a series of listener calls, ranging from proposals to deploy ICE agents to alleviate TSA staffing shortages to debates over whether the U.S. should commit “boots on the ground” in Iran. Clay argues strongly against large‑scale troop deployments and insists Trump won’t repeat the mistakes of Iraq and Afghanistan. The show returns to the ongoing TSA funding crisis, with multiple callers—TSA agents, veterans, and frequent travelers—describing the dangerously long lines, understaffing, and financial strain caused by Democrats’ shutdown of DHS pay. Clay reiterates his solution: no member of Congress should receive a paycheck during any shutdown, which he believes would immediately end Washington’s political brinkmanship. Hour 3 closes with Clay underscoring the difference between reporting on doom and acknowledging real national progress. He highlights that many of America’s biggest challenges—crime, foreign policy, and economic instability—are showing clear improvements under Trump, even if the media refuses to say so. The show ends with Clay previewing future updates and thanking listeners as the program heads into the weekend.
