Summary
Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a hard-hitting analysis of the Russia collusion hoax, intelligence community misconduct, and the broader implications for political accountability and media freedom. Clay and Buck are joined by Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder of The Federalist, who breaks down newly declassified documents revealing that the CIA and top Obama-era officials knowingly advanced false claims about Russian interference in the 2016 election. Davis argues that the Steele dossier and Mueller investigation were built on lies, and that figures like Comey, Brennan, Clapper, McCabe, and Strzok should face criminal charges.
The conversation explores the legal and constitutional boundaries of presidential immunity, particularly in relation to Barack Obama’s alleged involvement in the intelligence community’s actions. Clay and Buck debate whether immunity extends beyond a president’s term and whether subordinates can be prosecuted for executing presidential directives. They express skepticism that any high-profile Democrats will face legal consequences, despite mounting evidence of misconduct.
Listeners call in with questions about the potential use of RICO statutes, civil lawsuits, and the viability of holding intelligence officials financially accountable. Clay and Buck explain the legal hurdles, including statutes of limitations, the difficulty of proving intent, and the protections afforded to public officials. They emphasize that while the public may demand justice, the legal system often shields powerful figures from consequences.
Sean Davis also discusses the Biden administration’s alleged censorship of conservative media, revealing how The Federalist was targeted for blacklisting by major tech platforms. Despite the transition to Trump 2.0, Davis notes that the digital ad market remains hostile to conservative outlets due to the lingering effects of censorship infrastructure built under the previous administration.
The hour also includes commentary on the Epstein controversy, with Davis urging the Trump team to release all related documents in the interest of transparency. Clay and Buck highlight the double standard in how the DOJ has prosecuted January 6 participants while ignoring alleged crimes by political elites. They argue that the process itself has become a form of punishment, disproportionately applied to conservatives.

| 0:04.1 | All right, welcome in second hour. |
| 0:06.0 | Clay and Buck gets going right now. |
| 0:08.4 | We're joined by our friend, Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder of The Federalist. |
| 0:14.2 | Go to the Federalist.com. |
| 0:16.1 | It is one of our favorite sites on the World Wide Web, which I don't think calls it anymore, really that, but it is the worldwide web. Federalist.com, great work there, including what we're about talking about. Sean, thanks for taking a break from what you're doing to chat with us. What's going on? Well, thanks for having me back. It's a pleasure. Let's dive into this, man, shall we? So, D. and I, Gabbard, I sat down with her, and we had a discussion in D.C. about a month, month ago, about a lot of things. |
| 0:47.1 | And certainly one of her mandates is to clean up the deep state mess that was, well, really the rock that spread from the top down |
| 0:56.9 | in places like the CIA. |
| 0:59.0 | She has released information about the soft coup attempt or, like you said, the nonviolent |
| 1:06.0 | coup attempt, maybe a better way to put it, against Donald Trump. |
| 1:09.4 | You are following this very closely now. You and Molly Hemingway, your colleague at the Federalists, have been on this for a decade now. What is new and important that has come out? We're going to walk everyone through this because the rest of the media, obviously, they were in on the collusion, right? I mean, they were in on the whole hoax, the fraud. What is new |
| 1:28.1 | that people need to know about now? So I think to understand the importance of the new |
| 1:33.6 | developments, I think it's important to take a step back and look at what they were trying |
| 1:40.1 | to do with the Russia collusion hoax back in 16 and 17 and 18. And there were two main |
| 1:45.6 | pillars of that entire hoax. One of them was that Donald Trump personally colluded with Russia |
| 1:52.9 | and Putin to steal the election from Hillary, that he was an agent of Russia and that he was |
| 1:58.1 | working with him. That was the whole steel dossier. That was the |
| 2:01.6 | bulk of the Mueller thing. We know that was bunk. We've known that was bunk for a long time. |
| 2:06.2 | But before they could even get to that phase of the operation, they had the first point, which |
| 2:12.1 | was the claim that Russia meddled in our election in 2016 for the purpose of helping Donald Trump because Putin wanted Trump to win. |
| 2:20.5 | That was injected into the bloodstream, and that was necessary to be there for people to believe that Trump colluded. |
| 2:27.0 | But what we learned last week from the document releases from Tulsi Gabbard is that that claim was a lie. |
