Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into a dynamic mix of political commentary, media criticism, and cultural analysis. The hour kicks off with a forward-looking discussion on the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI), likening its current trajectory to the early days of the internet in the 1990s. The hosts highlight an AI summit in Pennsylvania and the growing presence of Waymo driverless cars in Miami, emphasizing how autonomous technology is reshaping daily life.
The conversation then pivots to a controversial CNBC ranking that labeled Tennessee the worst state to live in, which Clay and Buck strongly dispute, defending the state’s quality of life and values. This leads into a broader critique of mainstream media bias, particularly targeting CNBC and The Wall Street Journal.
A major portion of the hour is dedicated to dissecting a Wall Street Journal article that attempts to link Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein via a note allegedly written for Epstein’s 50th birthday. The hosts question the authenticity, relevance, and timing of the story, arguing it lacks journalistic merit and appears to be a politically motivated hit piece. They draw parallels to the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, where trivial high school yearbook entries were used to undermine credibility, and suggest this is another example of media overreach.
The show also covers breaking news that Attorney General Pam Bondi plans to unseal grand jury testimony related to Epstein, following a directive from former President Trump. The hosts express skepticism about the potential impact of the release, suggesting it may be more political theater than substantive revelation.
In a lighter segment, the hosts celebrate the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s CBS show and the defunding of NPR and PBS, framing it as a win for taxpayers and a blow to what they describe as left-wing media institutions.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic and wide-ranging conversation centered on the transformative power of artificial intelligence, national energy strategy, political violence, and the cultural collapse of late-night television. The hour opens with Senator Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania, who joins Clay and Buck to discuss the AI Energy and Innovation Summit and the massive $92 billion in AI and energy investments pouring into Pennsylvania. McCormick emphasizes that AI is the next industrial revolution, with implications for economic growth, national security, and global leadership, particularly in the U.S. battle with China for AI dominance.
The discussion highlights how AI will reshape the American workforce, creating a surge in demand for blue-collar jobs like welders and electricians while simultaneously disrupting white-collar sectors, including software development. McCormick underscores the need for abundant energy resources—natural gas, nuclear, and fossil fuels—to power AI infrastructure, and he praises Pennsylvania’s unique position as a top energy producer.
The conversation also explores the intersection of AI and healthcare, with real-world examples of AI analyzing medical data more efficiently than traditional methods. The hosts and McCormick reflect on the importance of embracing AI innovation while addressing its risks, including privacy and national security concerns.
Later in the hour, Clay and Buck pivot to a cultural critique of late-night television, focusing on the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show. They argue that Colbert’s shift from comedy to left-wing political commentary alienated audiences and contributed to the broader decline of late-night TV. The hosts contrast this with the rise of comedy podcasts and figures like Shane Gillis, who they praise for delivering edgy, bipartisan humor that avoids the pitfalls of identity politics.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the political and cultural battlegrounds shaping America. The hour kicks off with a sharp critique of a Wall Street Journal article, dismissed as misleading, and transitions into a broader discussion on media manipulation and the White House's response, including remarks from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
A major focus of this hour is Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s declassification of a 2016 Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB), which revealed that Russia did not impact the 2016 election results. Clay and Buck analyze how this contradicts years of mainstream media narratives and reinforce the idea that the Russia collusion story was a politically motivated hoax. They draw parallels to the ongoing Biden cognitive health coverup, emphasizing the psychological and political implications of media-driven misinformation.
The hosts also explore the weaponization of intelligence and the laundering of false narratives through partisan media outlets, highlighting how stories are strategically placed and then cited as independent reporting. This leads to speculation about whether similar tactics are being used to link President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein in an effort to derail his momentum.
In a lighter segment, the show shifts to Stephen Colbert’s announcement of the end of The Late Show, with Clay and Buck arguing that Colbert’s anti-Trump pivot contributed to the collapse of late-night television. They also discuss the defunding of PBS and NPR, advocating for a level playing field in the media marketplace.
The hour takes a humorous turn with a spirited debate over Clay Travis’s ability to swim from Alcatraz to the mainland, sparked by Riley Gaines’ successful swim while 31 weeks pregnant. The segment includes playful jabs from Sean Hannity and Gaines, with Clay pledging to complete the swim next year. The conversation touches on cold water endurance, shark fears, and the symbolic nature of Alcatraz, which President Trump is reportedly considering repurposing as a detention facility.
The hour concludes with a philosophical and political discussion on prison abolition, referencing leftist calls to eliminate prisons and police. Clay and Buck argue that such radical ideas are gaining traction and pose a threat to public safety, drawing a stark contrast with Trump’s law-and-order stance.

Clay: Sorry, NY
The Senate’s landmark vote to defund PBS and NPR, a conservative goal that has been decades in the making. Clay and Buck frame this as a generational shift in media accountability, pending final approval from the House. The rise of Zohran Mamdani, a New York City mayoral candidate whose far-left platform includes abolishing private property and implementing socialist economic reforms. Clay and Buck debate whether Republicans should strategically allow Mamdani to win, arguing that his radicalism could serve as a wake-up call for voters and galvanize GOP turnout in the 2026 midterms. They suggest that Democrats embracing Mamdani could backfire nationally, especially in swing districts.
The Audience Weighs In
Calls and emails split between defending New York City and supporting Clay’s provocative idea of “sacrificing” NYC to expose Democratic extremism. The hosts also highlight Elizabeth Warren’s public distancing from Mamdani, interpreting it as a sign of internal Democratic discomfort with his ideology.
Alan Dershowitz on Epstein
Alan Dershowitz joins the show to discuss the Jeffrey Epstein case, recent developments in the DOJ, and media misinformation. Dershowitz defends Trump against claims of involvement in Epstein’s crimes, asserting there is no credible evidence linking Trump to any wrongdoing. He also debunks conspiracy theories about Epstein’s ties to Israeli intelligence, calling them baseless and antisemitic. Dershowitz advocates for full transparency in the Epstein files, including both accusations and exculpatory evidence, to ensure fairness in public judgment.
TN Sen. Marsha Blackburn
Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, offering deep insights into the latest conservative legislative victories and political developments. The hour opens with Blackburn discussing the Senate’s advancement of a major rescission package, which includes efforts to defund NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting—an initiative dating back to the Reagan era. She highlights the elimination of wasteful federal spending, such as funding for vegan food in Zambia and electric buses in Rwanda, projecting a potential $90 billion in savings over a decade.
The conversation shifts to President Trump’s early-term accomplishments, with Blackburn praising his swift action on the economy, border security, and crime. She emphasizes his commitment to promises made, including securing the southern border, reducing inflation, and rebuilding the military. The hosts and Blackburn also discuss the “No Tax on Tips” bill and a proposed $6,000 annual Social Security tax deduction for seniors, framing these as key components of the GOP’s 2024 platform.
Judicial appointments take center stage as Blackburn details the contentious confirmation of Emil Bove to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Despite Democratic opposition due to Bove’s past legal defense of Trump, Republicans pushed the nomination through committee. Blackburn criticizes Democrats for obstructing judicial and law enforcement appointments, urging the GOP to push confirmations forward without delay.
The hour also explores Tennessee’s economic success, with Blackburn crediting the state’s constitutional ban on income tax and fiscally conservative governance for attracting businesses and residents. She contrasts this with the rise of far-left politics in cities like New York, referencing the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani and warning of the dangers of socialist policies.
