Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and emotionally charged breakdown of the tragic mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This hour focuses entirely on the unfolding details of the attack, which occurred during a back-to-school mass attended by children and faculty. The hosts provide real-time updates, eyewitness accounts, and law enforcement statements, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and its broader implications.

The episode begins with breaking news of the shooting, where a gunman opened fire through stained glass windows into a church filled with children. Two young victims were killed, and at least 17 others were injured—14 of them children, with several in critical condition. The shooter, armed with a rifle, shotgun, and pistol, ultimately took his own life inside the church. The hosts discuss the cowardice and cruelty of targeting innocent children in a place of worship, calling it one of the most evil acts imaginable.

Clay and Buck explore potential connections to another mass shooting that occurred the previous day near a Catholic high school in South Minneapolis, where seven people were shot. While law enforcement has not officially linked the two incidents, the proximity and similar targets raise serious questions.

The conversation also delves into the broader context of violence in Minneapolis, referencing the city's struggles with crime, police staffing shortages, and the aftermath of the George Floyd riots. The hosts argue for increased police presence and armed security in religious institutions and schools, citing the growing need for protection in vulnerable spaces.

As more details emerge, the shooter is identified as a white male with a disturbing online presence, including a YouTube channel and photos showing him firing at religious imagery. Early reports suggest the shooter may have been transgender and motivated by anti-Christian or anti-Catholic sentiments, drawing comparisons to the Covenant School shooting in Nashville. The gun used reportedly had messages like “Kill Donald Trump” and “Rip and Tear” written on it, further fueling speculation about ideological motives.

The hosts criticize mainstream media outlets like CNN for immediately pivoting to gun control narratives without understanding firearm mechanics or waiting for verified facts. They advocate for a more informed and nuanced discussion around gun rights, mental health, and law enforcement response.

Hour 1 concludes with an interview featuring journalist Karol Markowicz, who broke early details about the shooter’s identity and background. She discusses the challenges of reporting on developing stories and the importance of uncovering motive and warning signs. The hosts emphasize the need for society—and the Trump administration—to address how to respond to early indicators of mental instability before tragedies occur.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a gripping and emotionally charged analysis of the tragic Minneapolis church shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church, where two children were killed and several others injured. The hosts explore the emerging details surrounding the shooter, identified as a transgender individual, and delve into the ideological motivations behind the attack, including anti-Christian, anti-Trump, and antisemitic sentiments. The shooter’s weapon reportedly bore disturbing inscriptions such as “Kill Donald Trump,” “Burn Israel,” and “6 million wasn’t enough,” sparking a broader conversation about trans terrorism, left-wing extremism, and media bias.

Drawing parallels to the Covenant School shooting in Nashville, Clay and Buck argue that mainstream media outlets like MSNBC, CNN, and The New York Times routinely suppress or downplay the ideological affiliations of shooters when they conflict with progressive narratives. The hosts criticize political figures, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, for allegedly minimizing the role of prayer and failing to address the ideological roots of such violence.

The hour also features passionate listener reactions, including calls for armed school security, especially in religious institutions, and critiques of gender-affirming medical procedures for minors. The discussion includes predictions of future lawsuits against doctors and hospitals performing puberty blockers and top/bottom surgeries, likening current practices to historical medical abuses like lobotomies.

In Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts deliver a hard-hitting and emotionally charged breakdown of the Minneapolis church shooting, where a transgender-identifying shooter opened fire at Annunciation Church, killing two children and critically injuring several others. Joined by David Rutherford, a former Navy SEAL, CIA contractor, and host of The David Rutherford Show, the segment explores the tactical, medical, and cultural dimensions of this horrific act of violence.

Rutherford offers expert analysis on mass shooting response, emphasizing the importance of armed security in schools and churches, which he calls “soft targets” for ideologically motivated attackers. Drawing from his experience as a combat medic, he details the catastrophic nature of gunshot wounds, the importance of rapid triage, and the life-or-death difference made by trained first responders. The conversation underscores the need for proactive security measures, including hiring veterans and law enforcement professionals to protect vulnerable institutions.

The hour also delves into the mental health crisis and the role of gender ideology in recent mass shootings. The hosts and Rutherford discuss the shooter’s background, including a transgender identity, early use of hormone blockers, and a disturbing manifesto that echoes themes of nihilism, self-hatred, and ideological extremism. They argue that society’s embrace of “toxic empathy” and the medicalization of gender dysphoria—especially in minors—is enabling mental illness rather than treating it.

Listeners weigh in with powerful emails and calls, raising questions about the medical establishment’s role, the insurance industry’s complicity, and the legal accountability of doctors performing gender-affirming surgeries on children. The hosts compare the current cultural climate to past global practices of genital mutilation, questioning why such procedures are condemned in some contexts but celebrated in others.

The segment closes with a broader call to action: to treat gender dysphoria as a mental health condition, not a political identity, and to prioritize truth, safety, and compassion over ideological conformity.

Dunking on Gavin Newsom, Forbidden Democrat Words & SCOTUS Win on DEI Grants

In this fiery episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson tackle three explosive topics dominating the headlines:

1. Gavin Newsom vs. Trump on Energy Prices
   Senator Cruz responds to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s viral tweet blaming Donald Trump for rising electricity costs. Using AI tool Grok, Cruz reveals that the states with the highest energy prices are Democrat-led and burdened by aggressive renewable energy mandates. The hosts argue that liberal policies—not Trump—are driving up costs, and they break down the infrastructure challenges facing blue states.

2. Democrats’ “Forbidden Words” Memo
   A new memo from the left-leaning think tank Third Way lists 45 words and phrases Democrats are urged to avoid, including “privilege,” “birthing person,” and “cisgender.” Cruz and Ferguson mock the list, likening it to George Carlin’s “seven dirty words,” and argue that the real issue isn’t language—it’s ideology.

3. Supreme Court Victory for Trump on DEI Funding
   The Supreme Court delivers a 5–4 ruling allowing the Trump administration to cancel $783 million in NIH grants tied to DEI and gender ideology. Justice Amy Coney Barrett plays a pivotal role, siding with conservatives on funding but not on broader DEI guidance. Cruz and Ferguson unpack the legal implications and what this means for future judicial activism.

Democrats vs. Law Enforcement

The show features a critical breakdown of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s MSNBC interview with Joe Scarborough, where Johnson repeatedly avoids answering whether adding 5,000 police officers would reduce crime. Clay and Buck argue this reflects a broader Democratic reluctance to support law enforcement, driven by ideological commitments rather than public safety. They cite crime statistics—such as Chicago’s 629 murders in 2022, exceeding the entire United Kingdom’s total—to underscore the urgency of the issue. 

Real-World Consequences

A gripping firsthand account from a young Asian-American reporter who was violently mugged in Washington, D.C., highlighting the real-world consequences of urban crime. This sets the stage for a broader conversation about President Trump’s aggressive crime-fighting strategy in the nation’s capital, which the hosts frame as both morally necessary and politically effective.

The show explores how Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and law enforcement has led to a notable drop in violent crime, including a 13-day streak without a homicide—an unprecedented development in a Democrat-run city. The hosts contrast this with Democratic messaging that downplays violent crime in favor of focusing on homelessness and mental health, arguing that Trump’s results-driven approach is resonating with everyday Americans.

Rep. Chip Roy

Congressman Chip Roy joins the program to discuss his campaign for Texas Attorney General, his push to ban congressional stock trading, and his support for raising the mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots from 65 to 67 to address pilot shortages. He also weighs in on the Texas vs. Ohio State football game, predicting a win for the Longhorns led by Arch Manning.

Anything to Not Thank Trump

The hosts dive into the political and cultural impact of President Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, particularly in Washington, D.C., where violent crime rates have dropped significantly following federal intervention. They frame Trump’s approach as a bold, results-driven solution that contrasts sharply with Democratic leadership in cities like Chicago and Baltimore. The segment emphasizes how Trump’s actions—such as deploying federal resources and supporting law enforcement—are reshaping the national conversation around urban safety, law and order, and public accountability.

The hosts also highlight Trump’s stance on transgender athletes in women’s sports, positioning it as a common-sense issue that resonates with a majority of Americans. They argue that Trump’s ability to solve real-world problems, from securing the border to reducing crime, is what sets him apart from traditional politicians. The discussion underscores how Democrats’ resistance to Trump’s policies—even when they improve public safety—reveals a deeper ideological divide, with some voters prioritizing political identity over personal security.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the intersection of politics, crime policy, media narratives, and the 2026 election cycle. Clay and Buck open the hour with a preview of key upcoming races, including the Texas Attorney General primary featuring Congressman Chip Roy, the New York City mayoral race, and elections in Virginia and New Jersey. They reflect on past political wins and losses, emphasizing the importance of conservative momentum heading into 2026.

A major focus of the hour is President Donald Trump’s proactive public engagement, including his seventh public cabinet meeting and a series of press events. The hosts contrast Trump’s visibility and leadership with what they describe as Joe Biden’s absence and lack of transparency during his presidency. Trump’s pivot from economic messaging to a tough-on-crime agenda is highlighted, with particular attention to his deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., and his proposed expansion to cities like Chicago and Baltimore.

The show features a critical breakdown of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s MSNBC interview with Joe Scarborough, where Johnson repeatedly avoids answering whether adding 5,000 police officers would reduce crime. Clay and Buck argue this reflects a broader Democratic reluctance to support law enforcement, driven by ideological commitments rather than public safety. They cite crime statistics—such as Chicago’s 629 murders in 2022, exceeding the entire United Kingdom’s total—to underscore the urgency of the issue.

The hosts also explore the political ambitions of Democratic figures like Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, and Joe Scarborough, speculating on potential 2028 presidential runs. They argue that Democratic leaders are prioritizing national optics over local safety, especially in high-crime cities. Trump’s crime strategy is praised as both politically effective and life-saving, particularly for Black communities disproportionately affected by urban violence.
