Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Buck Sexton hosting solo while Clay attends the high-profile FIFA World Cup draw event in Washington, D.C., where President Donald Trump received the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize. Buck shares live updates from the Kennedy Center, highlighting Trump’s remarks on global peace efforts, U.S. strength, and the historic scale of the upcoming World Cup hosted in North America.
The hour’s lead news story centers on the arrest of the January 6th pipe bomber suspect, Brian Cole Jr., after nearly five years of investigation. Buck scrutinizes the FBI’s handling of the case, questioning why it languished under the Biden administration despite being one of the most serious threats tied to the Capitol riot. He plays clips from CNN’s Jake Tapper, who incorrectly described the suspect as a “white man,” and critiques media narratives that appear politically motivated. Buck also examines comments from former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Senator Mark Warner, contrasting their defense of investigative delays with the reality that new leadership under Cash Patel and Dan Bonino solved the case using existing evidence. The discussion underscores concerns about FBI priorities, political bias, and accountability.
Buck further explores reports suggesting the suspect may have been motivated by anger over the 2020 election, while emphasizing the gravity of the crime—two live pipe bombs planted near the RNC and DNC headquarters. He argues that the case’s resolution challenges the dominant narrative of January 6th and raises questions about selective enforcement during the Biden era.
In addition to breaking news, Buck previews upcoming interviews with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin on Venezuelan narco boat strikes and conservative commentator Isabelle Brown on her fiery CNN appearance. He also dives into the controversy surrounding alleged war crimes in U.S. military strikes against drug cartels, citing Senator Tom Cotton’s classified briefing remarks affirming the legality and necessity of the operations. Buck frames these strikes as part of a broader effort to dismantle cartel networks and restore U.S. military strength under the Trump administration.
