Summary
In Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Clay and Buck dive into a packed lineup of political and cultural hot topics dominating the news cycle. The hour kicks off with a sharp critique of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, highlighting the traffic chaos and questioning why the UN remains in Manhattan instead of a less disruptive location. The hosts then pivot to Donald Trump’s bold remarks at the UN, where he dismissed climate change alarmism and called out global elites.
The conversation shifts to the mainstream media’s fading obsession with climate change, referencing a recent New York Times piece asking why the issue has “vanished” from public discourse. Clay and Buck also tackle the Ukraine war fatigue, noting the disappearance of Ukraine flags and waning liberal enthusiasm for the conflict.
Next, the hosts take aim at YouTube’s admission of COVID-era censorship, exposing how the platform silenced voices that ultimately proved correct on masking and pandemic policies. This leads to a broader discussion on Big Tech’s role in shaping narratives and stifling dissent.
The hour also covers the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, dissecting his brief suspension and return to ABC amid backlash over inflammatory comments. Clay and Buck argue that liberal media figures cry “censorship” while ignoring years of conservative deplatforming. They also explore Disney’s strategic motives, speculating that the company wants out of the news business to focus on sports and entertainment partnerships.
Finally, the segment turns to Kamala Harris’s new book tour for 107 Days and her disastrous past interview moments, including the infamous “not a thing I would have done differently” answer about the Biden administration. The hosts analyze why this response reinforced perceptions of Harris as unprepared and politically tone-deaf, and they debate what her future in the Democratic Party looks like heading into 2026.

| 0:10.6 | We are racked and stacked a lot to talk to you about today. |
| 0:14.3 | Breaking out all the news for you, Trump at the United Nations, |
| 0:18.8 | producer Greg, among others, snarled in endless traffic while bureaucrats |
| 0:24.1 | from around the planet run up their government expense accounts that are very nice New York City |
| 0:28.9 | restaurants and block off lots of streets, which makes it impossible to get anywhere. |
| 0:34.2 | If you're going to have the UN on U.S. soil, which I don't really think we should. |
| 0:39.0 | We should have it in like, you know, I don't know, Wilmington or Omaha or you name it. |
| 0:45.3 | It should not be in New York City because it makes everything a mess for the 8 million people who actually live there for the two weeks. |
| 1:11.9 | It's there. I know Omaha listeners, we have a robust audience there. You're yelling at it to be absolutely not. Okay, well, maybe Wilmington. I don't know how many Wilmington listeners we have, but it should be in some place. You know, Clay, there's a reason that so many countries have these capitals that they've set up to be the capital. |
| 1:16.5 | This is true, which is originally true of Washington, D.C., but it's true in a lot of countries more recently, whether it's Brasilia in Brazil or Islamabad, because they want to put all |
| 1:22.6 | the government infrastructure there, and it's just easier. |
| 1:26.4 | Putting the United Nations in Midtown Manhattan is a mess. |
| 1:29.7 | Anyway, enough of the logistics of that. |
| 1:31.8 | I've given love to our WOR listeners who have probably had a rough commute. |
| 1:36.4 | If you can work remote for the next week or two at the UN with the UN General Assembly going on, you should do so. |
| 1:41.8 | But Trump was there. |
| 1:43.0 | He's laying down the law on a whole bunch of things. I love that he is telling people, forget about this climate change nonsense, because this is going to be a moment, Clay, where the libs all of a sudden pretend again to care about climate change. It's one of these rare issues that it is, it's not just that it's a big issue. And we're about to get into Jimmy Kimmel. We're about to get into comelous book we got a million things i'm a little fired up about you you reminded me i meant to mention yesterday about how climate change has vanished sunday new york times magazine cover why does no one talk about climate change now that's like i i'm terrified i can say this for weeks that's i funny. I meant to bring it up yesterday because I was reading the Sunday New York Times. I do it so you don't have to. Much like Buck, this brand new Kamala Harris first edition is going to be reading it so you don't have to. Is it a signed edition? I don't know. It will be when Clay goes to the book event, though. It was a huge cover story. |
| 2:35.8 | And again, I'm paraphrasing, but it basically this Sunday was, why do we not talk about |
| 2:40.5 | climate change anymore? |
