The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off 2026 with explosive analysis and breaking news. The hour begins with a major update from the Wall Street Journal: the CDC is revising its childhood vaccine recommendations, dropping universal guidance for shots like COVID-19, influenza, rotavirus, meningococcal disease, and hepatitis A/B. Clay and Buck frame this as a “win for parental choice,” contrasting it with past mandates and the failures of COVID vaccine policy. The discussion then pivots back to the biggest geopolitical story of the week: Operation Absolute Resolve, the daring Delta Force raid that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife. The hosts explain the legal framework behind the arrest, noting that Maduro is being prosecuted under U.S. criminal law in New York City—similar to the Manuel Noriega case—rather than as an enemy combatant. They highlight the strategic significance of this move as a modern application of the Monroe Doctrine, signaling America’s renewed dominance in the Western Hemisphere and a warning to adversaries like China and Russia. Clay and Buck slam critics who oppose the raid, comparing the Trump administration’s precision and competence to the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal under Biden. They praise Trump’s national security team—Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, JD Vance—for restoring U.S. credibility through tactical brilliance and disciplined execution. The hour also features an in-depth interview with David Rutherford (aka Rut) former Navy SEAL and host on the Clay & Buck Podcast Network. Rutherford calls the Maduro operation “one of the top five best ops ever,” detailing the complexity, flawless coordination, and elite performance of JSOC units, Delta Force, and the 160th SOAR pilots. He compares the raid’s scale and sophistication to the Osama bin Laden mission, arguing that this operation was even more impressive. Rutherford emphasizes its global implications, warning cartels and hostile regimes that America is “done playing games” and projecting power with precision. He predicts increased operational tempo against Mexican cartels and underscores how this mission reshapes global power dynamics. Clay and Buck also revisit the Tim Walz Somali daycare fraud scandal, reading Trump’s fiery statement accusing Walz and allies of stealing “tens of billions” in taxpayer funds. They debate whether Walz could face criminal charges and explore how his VP selection under Kamala Harris amplified scrutiny, ultimately ending his political career.

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, hosted by Tudor Dixon from the WOOD Radio Studios in Grand Rapids, Michigan, dives deep into President Donald Trump’s economic agenda, energy independence, and emerging technology concerns. The program opens with an exclusive interview with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, highlighting the administration’s push to restore American manufacturing, lower energy costs, and boost consumer confidence.

Manufacturing & Jobs: The administration’s plan to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. includes massive investments in advanced manufacturing and semiconductors—up to $700 billion nationwide, with flagship projects like a $20 billion Arizona semiconductor plant employing 3,000 technicians. High-paying technical jobs (starting at $75K and reaching $200K) will not require traditional college degrees, signaling a new era of skilled trades and automation-driven careers. Automotive Industry & Tariffs: Trump’s trade policies mandate automakers to build in America, increasing competition and lowering car prices. Financing incentives, such as tax-deductible car loans, aim to make vehicles more affordable for consumers. Technology & Privacy Concerns: Police Drones Later in Hour 1, Tudor Dixon and Kyle Olson tackle the rise of police drones in states like California, Ohio, and Louisiana. These drones can monitor public spaces, issue tickets, and interact with citizens—raising alarms about privacy rights, potential weaponization, and the expansion of a “police state.” The discussion warns of future risks involving AI, facial recognition, and pre-crime technology, urging listeners to stay vigilant as laws lag behind rapid tech adoption.

Political implications, including viral videos of elected officials prioritizing Somali interests over U.S. taxpayers. Calls for federal forensic audits, DOJ involvement, and accountability to protect taxpayer dollars. Audience callers express outrage, demanding penalties for states involved and praising citizen journalists for exposing corruption.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show with Tudor Dixon dives into major political and cultural flashpoints shaping America today. Broadcasting alongside Kyle Olson, Dixon opens with breaking news on Nancy Pelosi’s retirement announcement, ending her 39-year tenure in Congress. The discussion explores Pelosi’s legacy, her controversial leadership style, and her infamous State of the Union moment tearing up President Trump’s speech. Dixon and Olson analyze Pelosi’s influence on Democratic Party dynamics, her failure to pass the torch, and the rise of progressive figures like AOC, who now leads polls over Gavin Newsom for the 2028 presidential nomination. They also spotlight the looming battle for Pelosi’s San Francisco seat, featuring candidates like Scott Wiener, and what this means for the future of the Democratic Party. The hour then pivots to explosive revelations about massive welfare fraud scandals in Minnesota, Maine, and Ohio, allegedly involving Somali-run organizations and billions in taxpayer dollars. Tudor introduces investigative reporting by Nick Shirley, exposing fraudulent daycare operations and tracing funds to extremist groups overseas. Guest Steve Robinson, editor-in-chief of The Maine Wire, joins to detail systemic Medicaid fraud, taxpayer-funded political outreach, and how these schemes allegedly bolster Democratic voter operations.

Listeners also hear breaking news from Ohio linking Somali community leaders to political influence and tax scandals, plus a deep dive into California’s homelessness crisis, where billions are spent without solving root causes like addiction and mental health. Dixon and Olson argue these issues reflect a broader pattern of mismanagement and corruption across blue states. The segment closes with passionate listener calls from Ohio and Georgia, amplifying concerns about assimilation, Medicaid expansion fraud dating back to Obamacare, and the urgent need for reform under President Trump’s administration.

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by John Kobylt from KFI Los Angeles, delivers an unfiltered deep dive into California’s ongoing crisis and the political future of Governor Gavin Newsom, who is widely viewed as the leading Democratic contender for the 2028 presidential race. Kobylt paints a vivid picture of California’s decline, describing how once-idyllic cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Santa Monica have become plagued by homelessness, rampant drug addiction, and untreated mental illness. He explains how Newsom’s “Housing First” policy has failed, pouring billions into housing projects without addressing root causes like addiction and psychiatric care, while corruption siphons off much of the funding. Kobylt also highlights California’s one-party rule, noting decades of Democratic dominance and the absence of meaningful opposition, which has led to unchecked policies and severe COVID lockdowns. He warns listeners about Newsom’s character, illustrating his tendency to lie and shift narratives through a detailed account of the Palisades Fire disaster. Kobylt recounts how Newsom falsely claimed to be on the phone with President Joe Biden during a confrontation with a distraught mother, later changing his story multiple times. The segment exposes further mismanagement, including state interference that allowed a small fire to reignite into a massive blaze—all to protect an endangered plant species—resulting in thousands of homes destroyed. The hour closes with Kobylt’s personal experience during the fire, describing a complete breakdown of public services that forced residents to hire armed security for protection. He underscores California’s skyrocketing gas prices—averaging $4.29 per gallon compared to $2.23 in Oklahoma—driven by climate-change-driven tax policies that disproportionately hurt working families. Kobylt promises more revelations in Hour 2, including an interview with Katie Grimes of California Globe to discuss Newsom’s national ambitions and the systemic corruption behind California’s decline. Key Topics Covered in Hour 1: • Gavin Newsom’s rise as the top Democratic candidate for 2028 • California’s homelessness crisis and failed “Housing First” policy • Rampant drug addiction and untreated mental illness in major cities • One-party rule and lack of accountability in California politics • The Palisades Fire scandal: lies, mismanagement, and environmental policy failures • Personal account of lawlessness and survival during the fire • California’s highest-in-the-nation gas prices and climate tax burdens This hour is a must-listen for anyone tracking Gavin Newsom’s political trajectory, California’s progressive policies, and their real-world consequences.   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 and 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 dives deep into California politics and the national implications of Governor Gavin Newsom’s record as he positions himself as a leading Democratic presidential contender. Guest host John Kobylt from KFI Los Angeles warns listeners about Newsom’s policies and their disastrous impact on California. Joining the conversation is veteran journalist Katy Grimes from CaliforniaGlobe.com, who has chronicled Newsom’s tenure for years. This hour exposes massive government waste and corruption scandals, including: Billions lost in homelessness programs: At least $24–$37 billion vanished into nonprofits and NGOs with little accountability, while homelessness worsened. High-speed rail boondoggle: A project sold to voters as a $33 billion statewide bullet train now sits unfinished after 18 years and $17 billion spent—with no track laid and costs projected to soar past $130 billion. COVID-era unemployment fraud: Over $32 billion in taxpayer money was stolen through lax oversight, with funds even reaching death row inmates and overseas scammers. Former California labor chief Julie Su, tied to the scandal, later became Biden’s Acting Labor Secretary. Failed progressive mandates: Newsom’s electric vehicle mandate and climate-change-driven gas taxes have driven fuel prices sky-high (averaging $4.29 in California vs. $1.93 in Oklahoma), while the state lacks the infrastructure to support EV adoption. Katy Grimes also highlights California’s Democratic supermajority, media complicity, and why Newsom has never faced tough scrutiny at home—something that will change on the national stage. The discussion revisits his debate meltdown against Ron DeSantis, predicting similar outcomes if he faces GOP contenders like JD Vance or Marco Rubio. Listeners also hear personal stories illustrating California’s decline: skyrocketing crime, homelessness, and quality-of-life deterioration driving residents to flee the state. John Kobylt underscores how progressive policies have “disemboweled” California, turning paradise into chaos. Key SEO topics covered in Hour 2: Gavin Newsom presidential ambitions, California homelessness crisis, high-speed rail failure, unemployment fraud scandal, Julie Su controversy, electric car mandate, climate tax impact on gas prices, progressive policy failures, California exodus, Ron DeSantis vs. Newsom debate.   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 and 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/@clayandbuck  Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 dives into explosive revelations surrounding a massive fraud scandal in Minnesota, where billions in taxpayer dollars were allegedly siphoned through fake nonprofits and childcare centers. Guest host John Kobylt from KFI Radio leads the discussion, joined by Joe Khalil of NewsNation, who provides the latest updates on the viral investigation that has captured national attention. A 42-minute video by independent journalist Nick Shirley, now surpassing 116 million views, exposed empty daycare facilities that received millions in state and federal funds—raising serious questions about oversight under Governor Tim Walz. The conversation highlights ongoing probes by the Minnesota legislature, the House Oversight Committee, and even DHS, which has launched door-to-door searches at suspected fraud sites. Beyond Minnesota, John shifts focus to California’s deepening crises under Governor Gavin Newsom. He outlines shocking statistics: California leads the nation in inflation, unemployment, homelessness, and tax burdens, including the highest income, gas, and sales taxes. Despite record spending, the state suffers from crumbling infrastructure, underperforming schools, and depleted public safety resources—issues compounded by sanctuary policies and billions spent on healthcare for illegal immigrants. John warns these policies could become a national flashpoint as Newsom positions himself for higher office, contrasting them with President Trump’s decisive border actions. The hour closes with a fiery critique of California’s proposed wealth tax targeting billionaires, which John argues would accelerate the exodus of high earners and devastate state revenue. He challenges progressive narratives demonizing innovators like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, emphasizing the economic consequences of punitive taxation. Key Topics Covered in Hour 3: • Minnesota daycare fraud scandal and Somali nonprofit schemes • Viral Nick Shirley investigation and its political fallout • DHS enforcement actions and congressional oversight • California’s economic decline: taxes, homelessness, and infrastructure failures • Illegal immigration costs and sanctuary state policies • Gavin Newsom’s healthcare spending and budget deficit • Proposed wealth tax and its impact on California’s future • Broader implications for national politics under President Trump’s administration   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 and 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 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by David Rutherford, retired Navy SEAL, CIA contractor, and host of The David Rutherford Show on the Clay & Buck Podcast Network, kicks off with high energy and holiday humor. Rutherford introduces himself and shares his journey from elite military service to motivational coaching and podcasting, highlighting his work with professional athletes, college teams, and corporate leaders. He sets the tone for a fun, engaging post-Christmas broadcast aimed at lifting spirits and inspiring listeners to start the new year strong. The hour begins with candid reflections on holiday indulgence and personal accountability. Rutherford humorously recounts past Christmases marked by overconsumption and chaos, contrasting them with his more disciplined approach this year—balanced meals, workouts, and a commitment to health. He urges listeners to shake off the holiday slump, get active, and embrace recovery as part of a positive mindset heading into 2026. From there, Rutherford dives into relatable holiday anecdotes, including his failed attempt to create a “Clark Griswold” light display. He shares the comedic saga of battling rain, broken lights, and missing ladders, ultimately settling for a blow-up Santa and a few ornaments. These stories segue into a broader commentary on family dynamics, personal responsibility, and the importance of humor during stressful seasons. The conversation then pivots to self-reliance and preparedness, a theme central to Rutherford’s military background. He describes his tradition of buying his own Christmas gifts—ranging from tactical gear to firearms—and introduces a major policy proposal that has him fired up: Senator Mike Lee’s Cartel Marque and Reprisal Authorization Act. This bill would empower private U.S. citizens and companies to legally seize cartel assets abroad, targeting fentanyl traffickers. Rutherford enthusiastically imagines former special operators forming “modern pirate crews” to combat cartels, sparking a call-in challenge for listeners to share what gear they’d choose and who they’d recruit for such missions. The hour also explores cultural trends and entertainment, from classic holiday specials like Charlie Brown Christmas and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to modern pop staples like Mariah Carey. Rutherford praises the creativity of AI-generated holiday music and memes, citing viral hits such as “I Caught Santa Claus Sniffing Cocaine” and humorous retro remixes of rap tracks. He argues that AI-driven humor and nostalgia offer a welcome escape during a season that can be emotionally challenging for many. Closing the hour on a heartfelt note, Rutherford reflects on the deeper meaning of Christmas—hope, kindness, and connection. He shares a personal story about a fallen SEAL teammate, underscoring the importance of compassion and mental health awareness during the holidays. He challenges listeners to perform acts of kindness and calls for a cultural reset toward gratitude and service. Finally, Rutherford introduces his Frog Logic philosophy, a performance framework built on three pillars: embracing fear, forging self-confidence, and living a team life. He invites listeners to explore his online courses designed to translate elite military lessons into everyday success strategies.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by David Rutherford, retired Navy SEAL and host of The David Rutherford Show on the Clay & Buck Podcast Network, delivers a high-energy mix of military insight, cultural commentary, and national security analysis. Rutherford kicks off the hour by celebrating the strength of the Trump administration, citing achievements such as border security, record stock market gains, reduced crime rates, and a 4.3% GDP growth. He frames these wins as proof of renewed American resilience and contrasts them with past failures under previous administrations. The hour’s centerpiece is a viral story about Vice President JD Vance training with Navy SEALs in Coronado, California. Rutherford vividly describes Vance enduring grueling SEAL drills like log PT, surf passage, and team runs—activities that symbolize grit and leadership. He praises Vance, a former Marine, for inspiring young service members and bridging the gap between political leaders and the military. Rutherford argues that authentic engagement from leaders like Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and Pete Hegseth strengthens morale and reinforces America’s global posture. He also predicts that the 2028 presidential election will be defined by “meme warfare,” asserting that candidates who master humor and cultural relevance will dominate political discourse. JD Vance’s self-deprecating meme after SEAL training becomes a prime example of this trend. From humor, Rutherford pivots to hard realities: global terrorism and religious persecution. He highlights Trump’s recent directive for a U.S. strike against ISIS militants in Nigeria following horrific massacres of Christians, then broadens the discussion to a disturbing surge in worldwide terror attacks. Rutherford cites incidents from Bondi Beach in Australia, Pakistan, Germany, and the U.S., warning that extremist violence remains a persistent threat. Drawing on his CIA and SEAL experience, he outlines practical steps for Americans to protect themselves: exercise Second Amendment rights, purchase firearms, seek professional training, and maintain situational awareness. He stresses that personal responsibility is critical in an era where law enforcement resources are stretched thin and cites intelligence estimates suggesting up to 14,000 terrorists may already be inside the U.S. The hour closes with a provocative segment on election integrity, referencing the book Stolen Elections by Gary Berntsen and Ralph Pezzullo. Rutherford summarizes allegations that Venezuelan operatives developed source code enabling manipulation of electronic voting systems, allegedly influencing elections worldwide since 2003. He warns that vulnerabilities in voting technology pose a systemic threat to democracy and promises deeper analysis in the next hour.   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 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, guest-hosted by David Rutherford, retired Navy SEAL, CIA contractor, and motivational speaker, delivers a dynamic blend of national security analysis, leadership insights, and holiday inspiration. Rutherford kicks off the hour with an exclusive interview featuring Jared Hudson, fellow Navy SEAL, elite firearms instructor, anti-human trafficking advocate, and candidate for U.S. Senate in Alabama. Their conversation centers on critical global and domestic issues, beginning with President Trump’s recent directive for precision strikes against ISIS affiliates in Nigeria to protect persecuted Christians. Hudson strongly supports the move, calling it a moral and strategic necessity to defend freedom and counter terrorism in partnership with allied governments. The discussion then shifts to America’s battle against fentanyl and cartel violence, highlighting Senator Mike Lee’s proposed Cartel Marque and Reprisal Authorization Act, which would authorize private citizens to target cartel assets abroad. Hudson draws on his law enforcement and counter-trafficking experience to underscore the devastating impact of fentanyl on U.S. communities and advocates for proactive measures beyond U.S. borders to stop the flow of drugs before they reach American streets. He outlines his vision for governance rooted in constitutional principles, pledging to fight for lower costs, infrastructure development, and codification of Trump’s policies if elected to the Senate. Hudson emphasizes restoring accountability, protecting sovereignty, and strengthening America’s free-market foundation while standing firmly with President Trump. From policy to culture, Rutherford and Hudson explore the importance of authentic leadership, praising JD Vance for his recent SEAL-style physical training in Coronado as a morale booster for service members. Hudson vows to go even further—training alongside troops and even joining operations if permitted—symbolizing a hands-on approach to leadership rarely seen in Washington. The hour transitions into interactive listener segments, featuring two call-in challenges: “What kit and crew would you choose for cartel raids under the Marque and Reprisal Act?” Callers respond with creative, humorous scenarios, from assembling teams with JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Hulk Hogan to deploying Elon Musk’s drone technology for precision strikes. “What act of kindness did you witness or perform this holiday season?” Stories range from paying forward at drive-thrus to covering for an embarrassed mother in public, and a touching account of a caller tipping fast-food workers $40 on Christmas Day. Rutherford uses these examples to reinforce his core message: small gestures of compassion can transform lives and restore hope. Closing the hour, Rutherford delivers an impassioned monologue on living a Christ-like life through service, sacrifice, and kindness. He urges listeners to embrace empathy amid societal division, citing his nonprofit work with the Operator Syndrome Foundation and his mission to help veterans and first responders overcome mental health challenges. He emphasizes that kindness costs nothing yet yields immeasurable impact, aligning with the true spirit of Christmas and the values that sustain America’s strength.   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.
