In Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay Travis kicks off the week solo while Buck Sexton reports from Taiwan. This hour dives into a whirlwind of breaking news and political analysis. Clay begins with major international developments: President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are meeting at the White House to finalize a 21-point Middle East peace plan aimed at ending nearly two years of conflict in Gaza following the October 7 Hamas attack. Reports suggest progress, including Netanyahu apologizing to Qatar for a recent strike, signaling potential diplomatic breakthroughs.
Domestically, Clay covers the looming federal government shutdown as the October 1 deadline approaches, framing it as more political theater than real fiscal reform. He also addresses the shocking Michigan LDS church attack, where four people were killed in what appears to be an anti-Christian hate crime. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt vows full prosecution and prevention of such targeted violence.
The hour’s biggest legal bombshell: former FBI Director James Comey faces two felony indictments in Northern Virginia for alleged perjury related to the Russia collusion investigation. Clay plays Comey’s past CNN remarks dismissing accountability and contrasts them with the current reality. Vice President JD Vance weighs in, emphasizing that the indictment was not politically motivated despite the deep-blue jury pool. Clay questions whether prosecutors can secure a conviction given the venue and judge but calls the indictment a major step toward accountability.
On the political front, New York City Mayor Eric Adams drops out of the re-election race, leaving Zohran Mamdani as the frontrunner against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. Clay analyzes betting markets showing Momani with an 83% chance of victory and argues that a split anti-Momani vote virtually guarantees his win.
Cultural commentary also takes center stage as JK Rowling reignites her feud with Emma Watson over transgender issues, drawing applause from Clay for her unapologetic stance. Additionally, the show reflects on the ongoing impact of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, including a powerful Turning Point USA tribute at the Oregon-Penn State game and speculation that ESPN’s Paul Finebaum may enter politics after being deeply affected by Kirk’s death.

In Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay Travis dives into a major political bombshell and cultural flashpoints shaping the national conversation. The hour opens with breaking news that ESPN and SEC Network analyst Paul Finebaum is seriously considering a run for the U.S. Senate in Alabama, following Senator Tommy Tuberville’s decision to pursue the governorship. Clay shares exclusive details from his in-depth weekend interview with Finebaum, revealing how the assassination of Charlie Kirk profoundly influenced Finebaum’s thinking about America’s future. Finebaum, a household name in college football, expressed frustration with cultural decline and confirmed he’s weighing a move from sports media to politics—a decision Clay predicts could “land like a neutron bomb” in both sports and political circles.
Listeners hear Finebaum’s candid remarks about his motivations, including his disillusionment with corporate media after Disney blocked him from interviewing President Trump in 2019, despite ESPN’s frequent access to Barack Obama. Clay underscores the cultural double standard and praises Finebaum’s courage in publicly acknowledging he’s a Trump voter—something virtually unheard of among current ESPN personalities. This revelation sparks a broader discussion about cancel culture, free speech, and the growing movement of Americans refusing to stay silent.
The hour also touches on Bruce Pearl’s decision not to enter the Alabama Senate race, leaving the field wide open for Finebaum, whose name recognition and deep Alabama roots make him a formidable contender. Clay takes calls from longtime listeners reacting to the news, many expressing strong support for Finebaum’s potential candidacy.
Meanwhile, Clay keeps an eye on breaking developments from the White House, where President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are expected to announce progress on a 21-point Middle East peace plan aimed at ending the Gaza conflict ahead of the October 7 anniversary of the Hamas attacks. The discussion highlights the high-stakes diplomacy and the presence of key figures like Secretary Marco Rubio and Jared Kushner.
Cultural commentary continues with JK Rowling’s fiery response to Emma Watson over gender ideology, reinforcing Rowling’s status as a fearless voice in the free speech debate. Clay promises more on this in Hour 3 but previews Rowling’s sharp critique of Hollywood virtue signaling.

In Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay dives into a packed hour of breaking news, cultural debates, and global diplomacy. The hour opens with anticipation of a major White House press conference featuring President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, unveiling a 20-point Middle East peace plan aimed at ending the war in Gaza, securing the release of hostages, and creating conditions for long-term stability. Clay emphasizes Trump’s stance: if Hamas rejects the deal, Israel has full U.S. backing to eliminate the terror group.
The discussion also covers domestic headlines, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams dropping out of the race, ongoing fallout from James Comey-related charges, and reactions to J.K. Rowling’s comments on the transgender debate. Clay also touches on a shocking attack on a Latter-Day Saints church in Michigan, being investigated as a possible terror incident.
Listeners weigh in on political polarization, with fiery calls about whether friendships can survive across party lines. Clay pushes back against the idea of cutting off friends over politics, arguing that persuasion—not isolation—is key to winning elections. He draws parallels between political outreach and religious evangelism, stressing the importance of engaging with those who disagree.
Sports and culture also take center stage as Clay responds to criticism of his belief that sports fans are rational and vital in cultural battles, using examples like Riley Gaines’ fight for fairness in women’s sports. He argues that abandoning cultural arenas like sports only cedes ground to the Left.
The hour closes with live coverage of Trump’s remarks, highlighting his call for Palestinian leadership to reject terrorism and embrace reform, and his insistence that lasting peace requires security for Israel and opportunity for Palestinians. Clay underscores the historic stakes of this proposal and promises continued analysis as developments unfold.

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and urgent breakdown of breaking news, political analysis, and media accountability. The hour opens with a disturbing report of a sniper attack at a Dallas ICE facility, which hosts Clay and Buck’s deep dive into the rise of left-wing political violence and domestic terrorism. The shooter reportedly engraved anti-ICE messages on bullets, echoing previous politically motivated assassinations, including the killing of Charlie Kirk and United Healthcare’s CEO. Buck Sexton, drawing on his counterterrorism background, categorizes the incident as ideologically driven terrorism, criticizing mainstream media outlets like CNN for downplaying motives when violence originates from the political left.
The hosts explore the broader implications of anti-law enforcement rhetoric, citing statements from California Governor Gavin Newsom and Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz calls for an end to inflammatory language targeting ICE and CBP agents, warning of real-world consequences. The discussion also highlights how political figures and media narratives may be fueling radicalization by portraying conservatives and law enforcement as fascists.
Clay and Buck then pivot to the topic of Big Tech censorship, previewing an upcoming interview with Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan. They discuss Google’s admission that YouTube suppressed conservative voices, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Clay shares personal experiences of being deplatformed for advocating school reopenings and sports resumption, while Buck emphasizes the First Amendment violations tied to government-influenced censorship on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok. The hosts argue for financial accountability and propose the creation of a civil liberties organization to support independent creators silenced by tech giants.
The hour also touches on the return of Jimmy Kimmel to late-night television, with Buck dismissing it as a corporate distraction rather than a true free speech victory. The hosts contrast Kimmel’s situation with the systemic suppression of conservative media voices.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political insight, cultural commentary, and exclusive interviews, headlined by a conversation with Congressman Jim Jordan. The hour opens with a deep dive into Big Tech censorship, as Jordan discusses YouTube’s recent admission of suppressing conservative voices, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The hosts and Jordan explore the First Amendment implications, the lack of accountability, and the financial damage inflicted on independent creators and media outlets. Jordan highlights pending legislation that would allow individuals to sue government officials who pressure platforms to censor speech, reinforcing the need for free speech protections in the digital age.
The discussion shifts to the Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act, a bipartisan effort to address airline staffing shortages and reduce flight delays. Buck and Clay advocate for keeping skilled pilots in the air, citing safety, efficiency, and passenger satisfaction. Congressman Jordan supports the initiative and recommends engaging Transportation Committee Chairman Sam Graves for further insight.
Next, the conversation turns to the Score Act, a bill aimed at reforming college athletics. Jordan outlines its goals: promoting competitive balance, protecting non-revenue and Olympic sports, and ensuring athletes pursue education. The bill seeks to preserve Division I standards and address concerns over frequent transfers and lost academic opportunities.
Clay and Buck also tackle the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, arguing that his removal from certain affiliate stations was a business decision, not censorship. They criticize Kimmel’s partisan approach and lack of humor, suggesting that networks like Nexstar and Sinclair are responding to audience demand for more balanced programming.
The hour includes a humorous segment on Buck’s quest to hit a 100 mph tennis serve, which segues into a broader conversation about aging, parenting challenges, and sleep regression. Buck shares personal anecdotes about his newborn son and the realities of fatherhood, adding a relatable and lighthearted touch to the show.
In a geopolitical pivot, Buck announces his upcoming fact-finding trip to Taiwan, where he’ll meet with senior officials to discuss national security, semiconductor production, and the growing threat from China. He emphasizes Taiwan’s strategic importance, noting that it produces 90% of the world’s advanced semiconductors, making it a critical flashpoint in global politics.
The hosts then dissect Gavin Newsom’s claim that there may not be a 2028 election, calling it dishonest fear-mongering designed to energize the Democratic base. Clay offers to bet $10 million that the election will happen, framing Newsom’s rhetoric as dangerous and irresponsible.
The hour wraps with a viral moment from the White House, where President Trump humorously commemorates Joe Biden with an auto-pen image instead of a portrait, showcasing Trump’s unmatched comedic instincts in politics. Clay and Buck argue that Trump’s humor is a key part of his cultural appeal and predict Democrats will soon pivot from demonizing him to lamenting his irreplaceable political presence.
