Summary
Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political analysis, Texas primary intrigue, and listener-driven fun. The hour opens with a discussion on President Trump’s cultural influence in Washington, D.C., including his recent Kennedy Center honors announcement and efforts to restore law and order in the nation’s capital. Texas Senator John Cornyn joins the show to address crime in D.C., juvenile justice reform, and his support for Jeanine Pirro as the new U.S. Attorney. Cornyn also weighs in on the Texas Democrats’ walkout over redistricting, calling it a potential federal issue, and outlines GOP plans to break the blockade on Trump’s judicial nominees—including possible Senate rule changes using the “nuclear option.”
The conversation then shifts to Cornyn’s competitive Texas primary, his 99.2% pro-Trump voting record, and concerns about Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s electability. Cornyn shares insights on Democratic challengers like Beto O’Rourke and Colin Allred, predicting high-stakes Senate battles in Texas, Kentucky, and Georgia.
Listeners later join the conversation with hilarious talkbacks debating whether using a gift card on a first date is worse than arriving on an e-scooter. Stories include punch-card coffee dates and even a Home Depot rental truck pickup, sparking a lively discussion on modern dating etiquette. The hour wraps with a lighthearted segment on middle-aged athleticism, featuring challenges like kicking field goals and hitting 100 mph tennis serves.
