Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers sharp political analysis and breaking commentary on the Democrat Party’s leadership crisis, the FBI surveillance scandal, and explosive revelations from Virginia’s Attorney General race. 

Buck Sexton opens the hour by recapping President Trump’s Oval Office remarks, where Trump blasts Democrats for having “no leadership and no policy,” calling out figures like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Buck underscores Trump’s point, arguing that Democrats lack a clear leader for the first time in decades, with contenders like Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker jockeying for influence while the party drifts toward radicalism.

The conversation pivots to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s fiery criticism of Trump’s deployment of National Guard and ICE agents to Chicago, framing it as an “illegal militarization” rather than addressing rampant crime and lawlessness. Buck dismantles this narrative, highlighting Democrat hypocrisy on immigration enforcement and public safety. He also explores the broader strategy of Democrats in purple states, spotlighting Abigail Spanberger’s low-profile campaign tactics and the party’s reliance on “boring” candidates to mask extreme positions on abortion, DEI, and transgender policies.

Listeners then weigh in on the FBI’s weaponization scandal, with Buck explaining how administrative subpoena power enabled baseless surveillance of Republican senators, echoing abuses seen in Crossfire Hurricane. He warns that these actions reveal deep corruption within federal law enforcement and reinforce the need for reform under Director Patel.

In a bombshell segment, Buck exposes Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones’ shocking text messages, where Jones fantasized about Republicans and their children dying and vowed to desecrate graves. Buck calls this behavior “outrageous and dangerous,” arguing it reflects a disturbing cultural divide where Democrats normalize violent rhetoric against conservatives. He predicts Jones will remain in the race because Democrats tacitly approve of such hostility, raising alarms about fairness and integrity in law enforcement.

Hour 2 also features practical advice for handling political confrontations during family gatherings, emphasizing calm disengagement over heated arguments. Buck closes by previewing upcoming discussions on the two-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, setting the stage for insights from Karol Markowitz.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers powerful conversations on global security, cultural resilience, and personal triumph. Buck Sexton opens the hour with Karol Markowitz, host of The Karol Markowicz Show, reflecting on the two-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. 

Karol shares her perspective on the enduring trauma for Jews worldwide, the resilience of Israelis, and the disturbing rise of antisemitism in Western societies. The discussion dismantles false narratives of “genocide” against Palestinians, highlighting how media outlets like The New York Times manipulate imagery to push propaganda. Buck and Karol underscore President Trump’s unwavering support for Israel, his clarity on Middle East policy, and the broader civilizational stakes tied to unchecked immigration and radical ideology.

The conversation shifts to emerging hostility toward Israel from some voices on the right, with Karol warning against conspiracy theories and emphasizing that polls still show overwhelming conservative support for Israel. She frames antisemitism as a “mind virus” that can consume individuals and societies, urging vigilance against its spread. Buck reinforces the historical context of violent indoctrination in Gaza and calls for moral clarity in U.S. foreign policy.

Later in the hour, Buck critiques The View’s inflammatory rhetoric, mocking claims that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard is a “pretext to steal the next election.” He exposes the absurdity of liberal media narratives and the disconnect between progressive commentary and reality, branding the show as a “factory of delusion.”

In a compelling second half, Buck welcomes Leland Vittert, NewsNation host and author of Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, a Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism. Leland shares his deeply personal story of overcoming severe autism through his father’s relentless commitment to adaptation and resilience. 

The discussion explores the flaws in expert-driven approaches that encourage meeting children “where they are” instead of pushing them to thrive. Leland details practical strategies his father used—like instilling discipline, teaching social skills, and building character—that transformed his life. Buck relates with his own childhood struggle with a speech impediment, reinforcing the theme that parental involvement and perseverance can change destinies.

The segment also tackles the surge in autism diagnoses, with Leland calling it “the scientific question of our time” and criticizing partisan attacks on efforts to find answers. His book offers hope and actionable guidance for parents navigating challenges from autism to ADHD and beyond.

Hour 3 closes with listener talkbacks praising Trump’s authenticity and work ethic, contrasting him with elitist politicians who feign blue-collar appeal. Buck emphasizes Trump’s genuine respect for working-class Americans and his unmatched ability to dominate the political narrative.

In this bonus episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, hosts Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss:

1.  The “Schumer Shutdown”

• We begin with the ongoing government shutdown as the fault of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Party.

• They claim Democrats are panicking and have no political “off-ramp,” predicting that the standoff will end with “complete capitulation” from Democrats.

• The conversation includes discussion of polling data (allegedly showing poor favorability ratings for Democrats), arguments that Democrats are “weak” and “extreme,” and mockery of Democratic leaders through AI-generated memes that portray them wearing sombreros and mustaches.

• Cruz and Ferguson frame the situation as a political win for Republicans, portraying Democrats as incoherent and divided, and suggesting that the shutdown reveals the public’s indifference to big government.

2. The Brett Kavanaugh Assassination Attempt and Sentencing

• The second segment focuses on a federal judge’s sentencing of Nicholas Roske, who had plotted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

• Cruz and Ferguson express outrage over what they claim was an unjustly lenient eight-year sentence, arguing that it reflects “left-wing bias” and preferential treatment because the assailant was transgender.

• They sharply criticize Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, for what they call “ideological” leniency, with Cruz suggesting she should be impeached.

• The hosts expand the issue into a broader critique of Democratic “soft-on-crime” policies and claim a cultural double standard favoring certain identities (e.g., transgender individuals).

• The conversation also ties the Kavanaugh incident to Democratic rhetoric, suggesting it encourages “left-wing violence.”

Buck is Back!

Buck returns from an eye-opening trip to Taiwan, sharing firsthand insights into the escalating tensions with China, the looming threat of invasion, and the critical role of TSMC in global semiconductor supply chains. He previews an exclusive interview with Taiwan’s president, President Lai Ching-te, airing later in the program and underscores why U.S. policy in the region matters for national security and the global economy.

Back on the home front, the hour dives deep into the government shutdown and its political implications, followed by a fiery discussion on the immigration enforcement battle. Buck breaks down President Trump’s deployment of Federal Protection Missions and National Guard units to cities like Portland and Chicago, where local and state Democratic leaders are resisting federal immigration law enforcement. He argues that Democrats are enabling lawlessness by refusing to cooperate with ICE and federal authorities, framing this as a fight for the rule of law versus open borders.

Crime is a Choice

Buck zeroes in on the escalating crime crisis in Chicago, contrasting the city’s staggering murder rates with the safety and social trust he observed during his recent trip to Taiwan. He highlights shocking statistics—Chicago averaged around 600 murders annually, compared to just 200 in all of Taiwan, a nation of 23 million people. Buck shares vivid anecdotes from Taipei, where families stroll in parks at night and residents leave smartphones unattended in cafes, illustrating what a high-trust, low-crime society looks like versus the lawlessness plaguing U.S. cities under Democratic leadership.

The discussion then pivots to Mayor Brandon Johnson’s attacks on President Trump, accusing him of waging a “war on poor people” over immigration enforcement and crime reduction efforts. Buck dismantles these claims, arguing that Trump’s deployment of federal resources and National Guard units aims to protect vulnerable communities from gang violence and fentanyl-fueled chaos. He frames the debate as a battle between law and order versus progressive incompetence, calling out Democratic leaders like Johnson and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker for perpetuating urban decay.

Paying for Illegals

Buck covers the government shutdown standoff, featuring live remarks from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and commentary from Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz blasts Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for what he calls a “temper tantrum” driven by fear of a primary challenge from AOC. Buck underscores that Democrats are demanding additional spending for programs like Obamacare subsidies, sparking a broader conversation on the failures of the Affordable Care Act. He argues Obamacare has led to skyrocketing premiums, reduced coverage, and ballooning Medicaid costs, while Democrats quietly push healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants—despite public denials from figures like Elizabeth Warren.

Speaker Mike Johnson

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson joining the program to break down the latest on what Buck calls the “Schumer Shutdown.”  Speaker Johnson explains that Republicans offered a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open, but Democrats blocked it to create a political fight over healthcare. He accuses Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of prioritizing his own political survival over the American people, citing fears of a primary challenge from the far left. 

Johnson details how Democrats are pushing to restore taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants, reversing GOP reforms that saved nearly $200 billion by ending Medicaid loopholes, emergency care expansions, and Obamacare subsidies for non-citizens. He warns that the shutdown is causing real pain for Americans, including halted nutrition programs and unpaid federal workers, while Democrats refuse to compromise.

He argues that Democrats are enabling lawlessness by refusing to cooperate with ICE and federal authorities, framing this as a fight for the rule of law versus open borders.

The conversation highlights Portland’s ongoing unrest, with over 100 nights of violent protests targeting ICE facilities, Antifa-driven chaos, and local officials allegedly obstructing federal efforts. Buck contrasts this with the Biden administration’s prolonged National Guard presence in D.C. after January 6, calling out what he sees as hypocrisy. Listener emails and calls from Oregon confirm the severity of the situation, while Buck critiques Democratic leaders like Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for downplaying crime and opposing federal intervention.

The hour also touches on Democratic Party dynamics, including speculation about Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and Pritzker’s ambitions for 2028, plus Buck’s humorous take on reading Kamala’s book during his Taiwan flights. The segment closes with commentary on the Comey indictment, Chicago crime rates compared to Taipei, and why Trump’s immigration crackdown remains a cornerstone of his agenda.
