Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful mix of cultural commentary, political analysis, and breaking news. The hour opens with Buck welcoming Isabel Brown, host of The Isabel Brown Show, for an in-depth conversation about her fiery appearance on CNN’s Abby Phillip panel. Isabelle recounts the tense exchange surrounding the arrest of Brian Cole Jr., the alleged January 6th pipe bomber, and exposes the media’s double standard in excusing political violence when it aligns with left-wing narratives. She highlights how the discussion devolved into partisan spin, with CNN panelists obsessing over race and hypothetical pardons rather than addressing the gravity of planting pipe bombs near the RNC and DNC. Isabelle calls out the cultural hypocrisy where “everything is violence except actual violence,” underscoring the growing ideological divide in mainstream media.
The conversation shifts to a deeply personal and cultural topic: the revival of the American family among Gen Z. Isabel shares her experience as a new mother and describes how parenthood has transformed her perspective, giving her a renewed sense of purpose. She and Buck explore the generational shift toward valuing marriage, faith, and family despite decades of anti-family messaging and declining fertility rates. They discuss how young Americans are rejecting toxic narratives, rediscovering traditional values, and even walking away from birth control and dating apps to pursue meaningful relationships. Isabel points to a spiritual awakening among Gen Z, coupled with a rejection of climate alarmism and corporate-driven isolation, as key drivers of this cultural renaissance. The segment also touches on lighter moments, including fashion trends like the return of baggy jeans and humorous observations about modern style.
Later in the hour, Buck highlights two major fraud scandals in Minnesota and California, exposing systemic corruption tied to one-party rule and sanctuary policies. He highlights the staggering $300 million fraud in Minnesota’s child nutrition program and plays Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s evasive response. Buck then interviews Steve Hilton, who is running for governor of California, to discuss the state’s own crisis of waste and mismanagement. Hilton reveals shocking figures: $20 billion lost to unemployment fraud during the pandemic, $24 billion squandered on homelessness programs, and $13 billion allocated for free healthcare for illegal immigrants—all under Gavin Newsom’s leadership.
Hilton details how California’s “homeless industrial complex” funnels taxpayer money into crony nonprofits and inflated housing projects, with units costing up to $1 million each while homelessness worsens. He also exposes Newsom’s failed promises, including a half-billion-dollar emergency communication system that doesn’t work, and warns of Newsom’s looming presidential ambitions backed by elite donors. The discussion closes with sharp political insights into Kamala Harris’s declining influence, Josh Shapiro’s blunt criticism of her leadership, and the early maneuvering of California Democrats ahead of 2028. Hilton predicts a fierce battle among figures like Katie Porter, Tom Steyer, and Eric Swalwell, while emphasizing the urgent need to dismantle California’s entrenched political machine.

I actually think I have been on once if memory serves a year and a half plus ago right before the release of my book. And it's crazy how much life has changed since then. So it's great to be back.

| 0:56.5 | 10 years ago, I used to do CNN. |
| 0:58.4 | It's been a long time now. |
| 0:59.8 | It's basically been about 10 years since I've done CNN. |

| 1:28.9 | this was an Abby Phillips panel show that runs during the 10 p.m. hour. And boy, it was pretty spicy last night. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah. So let's let everyone here just a little, a little taste, a little snippet here. This is cut 27 players. You can speculate all you want, but the authorities who are charging this guy haven't laid out a motive. |
| 1:29.9 | That's all I've said. |
| 1:47.7 | The other thing is that, no, I'm not suggesting that he was tied to stop the steel, but I'm not sure why you think that that would be some kind of, right after January 6th, would he have been included in the pardonings from individuals who participated in. So it's called a hypothetical. Had he been prosecuted alongside all of those other people who were involved in violent acts on January 6th, would Donald Trump have pardoned him? |
| 1:51.0 | No, because individuals who walked into the Capitol building on January 6th were not planting |
| 1:55.5 | pipe bombs that both the DNC and the-R-NC and the-R-N-C-Barre. |
| 2:00.0 | What about the ones that use the American flag to beat police officers. But again, it's rich to me that now media is saying we have no idea what the motive is for this person. Hold on. This network, Isabel, what about the people? 48 hours of January 6th. What about the people who used an American flag to be police officers? This was intended to foment additional chaos to detract from law enforcement. |
