The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

The hosts dive into breaking news about escalating tensions between Iran and the United States following President Trump's ordered strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Buck returns from France to discuss how Trump authorized "Bunker Buster" strikes targeting three main nuclear facilities in Iran over the weekend, causing substantial damage. The hosts examine the partisan response, noting that Democrats like AOC quickly called for Trump's impeachment over the military action, which Clay and Buck find hypocritical given similar actions during previous administrations. The conversation shifts to developing news about Iran's retaliatory missile strikes, with reports of explosions over Doha, Qatar, where U.S. military bases are located. The hosts discuss Iran's announcement of "Operation Baat AFA" targeting American bases, comparing it to Iran's response after the Soleimani assassination when Iran fired approximately 100 missiles at U.S. bases with minimal casualties The hosts praise former President Trump's Saturday night address alongside Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and JD Vance, highlighting Rubio's compelling interview on CBS where he discussed Iran's nuclear ambitions and their deteriorating infrastructure. The conversation also explores how authoritarian regimes like Iran respond primarily to shows of strength rather than diplomatic arguments. Clay and Buck suggest that the Biden administration's perceived weakness, particularly after the Afghanistan withdrawal, emboldened adversaries, contrasting this with Trump's approach to foreign policy. The hosts address some criticism from Republican figures, particularly Marjorie Taylor Greene's claim that the US was entering "World War III," which they characterized as an overreaction to current events in the Middle East. Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts provide in-depth analysis of Iran's missile response to recent US military actions. They discuss how Iran's attack appears to have been deliberately telegraphed and minimal, with missiles being shot down without causing significant damage or casualties. Clay and Buck emphasize that this measured response likely stems from Iran's limited military capabilities and fear of further US retaliation. The hosts praise former President Trump's Saturday night address alongside Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and JD Vance, highlighting Rubio's compelling interview on CBS where he discussed Iran's nuclear ambitions and their deteriorating infrastructure. The conversation in Hour 2 also explores how authoritarian regimes like Iran respond primarily to shows of strength rather than diplomatic arguments. Clay and Buck suggest that the Biden administration's perceived weakness, particularly after the Afghanistan withdrawal, emboldened adversaries, contrasting this with Trump's approach to foreign policy. They examine how Iran's quality of life has declined dramatically despite its historical significance, questioning whether these conditions might eventually lead to internal challenges from the Iranian people. The hosts additionally touch on concerning developments in New York City politics, expressing alarm about potential leadership changes and their implications for America's largest city.

In hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts provided breaking news coverage of Iran's missile attack on a US base in Qatar. They reported that all Iranian missiles were intercepted with no American casualties, suggesting Iran had "effectively thrown in the towel" with what appeared to be a face-saving gesture following the weekend's impressive US B-2 bomber strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The hosts discussed how Iran seems increasingly isolated, with Saudi Arabia and Qatar both condemning the Iranian strikes, contradicting predictions that other nations would oppose US involvement.   The conversation shifted to New York City politics, with Buck (a former New York resident who relocated to Florida) and Clay discussing the concerning mayoral situation where Andrew Cuomo might be the "best case scenario" despite his controversial COVID-19 record and resignation over sexual harassment allegations. They examined how high taxes in states like New York, California, and Illinois are driving wealthy taxpayers to more affordable states like Florida, Tennessee, and Texas. The hosts also addressed some criticism from Republican figures, particularly Marjorie Taylor Greene's claim that the US was entering "World War III," which they characterized as an overreaction to current events in the Middle East. The hour concluded with Clay thanking WTCM Newstalk 580, a new affiliate in Traverse City, Michigan.

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis broadcasting solo from Washington, D.C., while Buck Sexton is in Cannes, France, meeting with major advertisers—a testament to the show's growing influence and reach. Clay reflects on the show's evolution and the recent surge in advertiser interest, highlighting the disconnect between mainstream brands and the show's massive, engaged audience. The hour delves into a wide range of topics, beginning with Clay’s personal experience spending Father’s Day at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum with his son. He draws a powerful parallel between the Wright brothers’ pioneering spirit and the current stagnation in American innovation, emphasizing how figures like Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are reigniting the nation’s exploratory ambition—particularly in space travel and technological advancement. Clay contrasts two major events in Washington over the weekend: a military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and the “No Kings” protest opposing President Trump. He critiques the protestors’ historical ignorance, arguing that the military’s role in defeating monarchy and establishing American democracy is being overlooked. He underscores how President Trump’s celebration of American history and military tradition stands in stark contrast to the left’s emotionally driven, media-fueled opposition. The discussion also touches on the cultural and educational decline, using George Washington University’s decision to drop the “Colonials” mascot as a case study in historical misunderstanding. Clay argues that this trend reflects a broader societal failure to teach and preserve accurate American history. Throughout the hour, Clay emphasizes the importance of authenticity in leadership and media, asserting that President Trump’s transparency and consistency have strengthened his support, especially among younger voters. He also warns against political violence, condemning recent threats and attacks, and urges listeners to engage through peaceful, democratic means. The hour concludes with a preview of upcoming coverage on the escalating situation in the Middle East, particularly in Iran and Israel.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a high-stakes, real-time analysis of breaking geopolitical developments, with a strong focus on President Donald Trump’s leadership amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. Broadcasting from Washington, D.C., Clay Travis covers the urgent situation unfolding in the White House Situation Room, where President Trump is reportedly meeting with top advisors to discuss Israel’s request for the U.S. to deploy bunker-busting bombs against Iran’s underground nuclear facilities. This hour underscores Trump’s decade-long commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, reinforcing his consistent foreign policy stance. The show features a compelling call-in segment with Iranian-American listeners, offering firsthand perspectives on the Iranian regime, public sentiment within Iran, and the potential consequences of U.S. military intervention. One caller passionately supports regime change and criticizes Western media portrayals of Iranian citizens, emphasizing the secular and modern aspirations of many Iranians. Clay also revisits the 2009 Green Movement and subsequent protests in Iran, highlighting the long-standing resistance to the Ayatollah’s rule. He discusses the strategic implications of U.S. air superiority over Iran and features expert commentary from a former weapons developer on the tactical use of bunker-buster bombs. The conversation explores the feasibility of dismantling Iran’s nuclear infrastructure node by node, emphasizing the complexity of Iran’s underground facilities. In domestic political news, Clay critiques Senator Alex Padilla’s emotional Senate floor speech following his controversial interruption of Governor Kristi Noem’s press conference. Travis contrasts Padilla’s reaction with President Trump’s stoic response during a recent assassination attempt, framing Trump as a symbol of masculine resilience and authenticity—a theme he argues resonates deeply with American men and younger voters. The hour also touches on the broader cultural and political divide, with commentary on Representative Ilhan Omar’s criticism of the U.S. and her comparison to Somalia, which Clay uses to question the sincerity of her grievances. Listeners are reminded of upcoming guests in Hour 3, including Senator Rand Paul and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who will provide updates on Capitol Hill developments and the “big beautiful bill” under debate. This episode is packed with real-time geopolitical analysis, strong conservative commentary, and listener engagement, making it a must-listen for those following U.S. foreign policy, national security, and the 2024 presidential election under President Donald Trump’s leadership.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and timely discussion centered on major legal, political, and cultural developments shaping America today. Clay Travis, hosting solo while Buck Sexton attends the Cannes Advertising Festival, opens the hour with a deep dive into a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld Tennessee’s law restricting gender transition surgeries for minors. Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti joins the program to break down the 6-3 decision, emphasizing the legal, medical, and cultural implications of the ruling. Skrmetti highlights the flawed science behind pediatric gender treatments, the growing international skepticism of such procedures, and the potential for future civil lawsuits from detransitioners. The conversation also explores the broader national impact of the ruling, including how states may handle cross-border medical procedures and the legal complexities surrounding parental rights and medical consent. Skrmetti underscores the importance of evidence-based policymaking over ideological influence, and the need for compassion and clarity in addressing gender dysphoria in youth. Later in the hour, Clay welcomes U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana to discuss the progress of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a legislative package aimed at reforming student loans, increasing access to technical education, and reducing federal spending. Cassidy shares insights on bipartisan negotiations, the importance of long-term fiscal responsibility, and his optimism for passing meaningful reforms. The senator also weighs in on President Donald Trump’s handling of Iran, Israel, and national security, praising the administration’s firm stance on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. In a lighter segment, Clay engages with listener feedback on language used during the show, sparking a humorous exchange about politically correct terminology and free speech. He also shares a viral clip from comedian Whitney Cummings, who humorously reflects on how motherhood shifted her political views, resonating with many listeners navigating similar life changes. The hour wraps with a call from a longtime member of the gay community, who offers a personal perspective on the transgender debate, emphasizing the rarity of true gender dysphoria and expressing concern over the current cultural climate surrounding children and gender identity.

Clay discusses recent political shifts regarding transgender issues, noting that many moderate voters are drawing a line when it comes to children and women's sports. He references a New York Times front page article about top Democratic contenders avoiding criticism of a recent Supreme Court decision on the matter. Clay delves into a thought-provoking comparison between former President Barack Obama and Donald Trump's legacies. Clay argues that Obama is beginning to recognize that Trump has become more consequential and transformative than him in American politics. He suggests that Trump's presidency may have greater historical significance, likening Obama's realization to hearing the Jaws theme song as Trump devours his legacy.   Clay dives into comments from Congressman Max Frost about the US "becoming Florida," which Clay says would be exactly what most Americans want.    Clay breaks down the movie "Jaws" as it approaches its 50th anniversary. Travis provocatively argued that "Jaws" is the most influential movie of all time, prompting listener calls with alternative suggestions including "Rocky." Travis shared personal stories about how "Jaws" affected his own relationship with swimming, noting he was afraid to swim even in pools at night after seeing the film. Multiple callers shared similar experiences, including one 58-year-old listener who still won't swim in ocean water where he can't touch the sand.

In Hour 1 of the Friday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Clay hosts solo while Buck remains on the French Riviera. Clay announces his upcoming broadcast from Traverse City, Michigan, where the show has gained a new affiliate. He introduces several key topics of discussion for the hour, including the 50th anniversary of the movie "Jaws," which Clay argues is the most influential movie ever made because of how it affects people's thinking every time they enter water. Clay discusses recent political shifts regarding transgender issues, noting that many moderate voters are drawing a line when it comes to children and women's sports. He references a New York Times front page article about top Democratic contenders avoiding criticism of a recent Supreme Court decision on the matter. The host also addresses Bob Iger, Disney CEO, and his women's soccer team "Angel City" rebranding as "Immigrant City FC." Clay criticizes this as a calculated pivot in language that conflates legal immigrants with illegal immigrants, arguing that the move is designed to make legal immigrants feel threatened when ICE only targets those illegally in the country. Throughout Hour 1, Clay takes calls from listeners debating his "Jaws" theory, with one caller arguing that "The Exorcist" had a more profound psychological impact. Clay also briefly mentions the ongoing situation in Israel, where citizens are facing continuous missile attacks from Iran, with over 30 missiles daily for a week.

In hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Clay delves into a thought-provoking comparison between former President Barack Obama and Donald Trump's legacies. Clay argues that Obama is beginning to recognize that Trump has become more consequential and transformative than him in American politics. He suggests that Trump's presidency may have greater historical significance, likening Obama's realization to hearing the Jaws theme song as Trump devours his legacy. Clay also offers a critical assessment of recent presidents, calling George W. Bush "an unmitigated disaster" who squandered a balanced budget and led the country into questionable wars. He notes that Biden is widely considered "the worst president in the last two generations," even among Democrats. The discussion extends to how Trump's criticism of Bush's foreign policy resonated with many Americans disillusioned by the Iraq War. The hour includes Clay's commentary on Michelle Obama after her recent podcast appearance where she stated she wouldn't want a son like her husband. Clay expresses surprise at this statement, considering Barack Obama's accomplishments, and suggests that Michelle comes across as "an entitled arrogant brat" who benefited from protective media coverage. He contrasts this with his own approach to broadcasting, emphasizing authenticity in both his public and private personas. As the show moves toward its final hour, Clay mentions the 50th anniversary of the movie Jaws, playfully using its iconic theme music as a metaphor for Trump's advancing influence over Obama's presidential legacy. Throughout hour 2, Clay maintains that Trump will be remembered as the dominant political figure from 2015 through 2029, especially if his political movement continues through successors like JD Vance or Marco Rubio.

Clay Travis sets the stage by reflecting on a memorable viral moment from the White House, using it as a springboard for a series of cutting-edge political and cultural discussions. He launches into a robust critique of mainstream media commentary—specifically calling out figures like Whoopi Goldberg—arguing that their comparisons between the challenges faced by certain groups in the United States and the conditions under repressive regimes like Iran misrepresent the realities of global human rights. Clay highlights how restrictive policies abroad, such as severe limitations on women's rights in Iran, sharply contrast with the broad freedoms and economic opportunities available in America. He underscores that the nation's high standard of living, democratic principles, and vibrant sports culture serve as clear indicators of its successful model of freedom and opportunity. Clay then critiques a viral moment from The View, where Whoopi Goldberg controversially compared the experiences of Black Americans to women in Iran. He uses this to highlight the dangers of victimhood narratives and the erosion of national pride in American discourse. A major focus of this hour is the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision upholding Tennessee’s ban on gender transition procedures for minors. Clay strongly supports the ruling, arguing that children are not mature enough to make irreversible medical decisions. He contrasts this with legal standards that prevent minors from getting tattoos or being held fully accountable for crimes. Clay challenges liberal justices like Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, questioning how they can support juvenile leniency in criminal justice while endorsing life-altering medical procedures for teens. Clay reflects on American exceptionalism. Clay contrasts past presidential messages of hope and opportunity—from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama—with today’s nihilistic rhetoric. He warns that the belief in a fundamentally broken America is undermining ambition and mental health, especially among young people. Guest Joey Jones, a decorated Marine Corps veteran and Fox News contributor, joins the show to discuss his new book, Behind the Badge: Answering the Call to Serve on America’s Home Front. Jones shares insights from first responders across the country and reflects on his own military service. He also weighs in on the Iran situation, emphasizing the importance of clear objectives in any military engagement and expressing confidence in President Trump’s strategic approach.

Emphasizing American values such as patriotism, self-reliance, and a global perspective, Clay argues that mandating a period of live service or travel could instill true gratitude and deeper understanding of the wider world.

Clay challenges liberal justices like Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, questioning how they can support juvenile leniency in criminal justice while endorsing life-altering medical procedures for teens. President Donald Trump’s extension of the TikTok divestment deadline and his pending decision on potential U.S. military action against Iran are also discussed. Clay speculates humorously on the stress faced by Iranian nuclear workers amid the threat of U.S. bunker-buster bombs, underscoring the seriousness of the geopolitical situation. Mental health among American youth is another key topic, sparked by a listener email from a crisis counselor. Clay explores how social media, fear-based political messaging, and cultural pessimism are contributing to rising anxiety and depression among teenagers. Urban leadership failures are also in the spotlight. Clay critiques the governance of major cities like Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles, focusing on Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s inflammatory claim that President Trump is trying to “eliminate Black existence.” Clay argues that anti-Trump sentiment is driving irrational voting behavior, leading to a cycle of poor leadership and urban decline. The hour concludes with a reflection on American exceptionalism. Clay contrasts past presidential messages of hope and opportunity—from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama—with today’s nihilistic rhetoric. He warns that the belief in a fundamentally broken America is undermining ambition and mental health, especially among young people.

SCOTUS Transgender Ruling Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis broadcasting solo from Washington, D.C., while Buck Sexton is away on business. Clay opens the hour by discussing his time in the Capitol with his son, who is interning for TN Senator Bill Hagerty. He then pivots to a major breaking news story: a landmark 6-3 U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding Tennessee’s law banning gender transition procedures for minors. This decision, which Clay strongly supports, becomes the central focus of the hour. Clay emphasizes the importance of protecting children from irreversible medical procedures such as puberty blockers and gender-affirming surgeries. He argues that minors are not mature enough to make life-altering decisions and compares the issue to existing legal restrictions on tattoos, alcohol, and car rentals for young people. He criticizes what he describes as the “woke ideology” influencing medical professionals and parents, and calls for federal legislation to ban gender transition surgeries for minors nationwide. Throughout the hour, Clay repeatedly refers to the President Donald Trump, highlighting how the Trump administration has addressed transgender issues and how the media frames these debates. He critiques the Washington Post’s coverage of the Supreme Court ruling, calling it biased and misleading. Nothing Wrong with Disagreement Broadcasting from Washington, D.C., Clay Travis opens the hour with a vivid description of the aesthetic upgrades President Trump has made to the White House, including new flagpoles and a gold-embellished Oval Office, as well as plans for an outdoor dining patio inspired by Mar-a-Lago. A major focus of this hour is the Supreme Court’s landmark decision affirming Tennessee’s right to restrict gender transition surgeries for minors. Clay previews an upcoming interview with Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti, who successfully argued the case, and emphasizes the widespread parental support for such protections. The show then shifts to a critical foreign policy discussion on Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Clay analyzes polling data from CNN showing overwhelming bipartisan agreement—across Republicans, Democrats, and Independents—that Iran must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. He highlights that nearly 70% of Republican voters support U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, aligning with President Trump’s America First doctrine. Clay defends the rationality behind Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons from a geopolitical standpoint, while strongly advocating for decisive U.S. action to prevent it. TN AG Jonathan Skrmetti on his Supreme Court Win Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and timely discussion centered on major legal, political, and cultural developments shaping America today. Clay Travis, hosting solo while Buck Sexton attends the Cannes Advertising Festival, opens the hour with a deep dive into a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld Tennessee’s law restricting gender transition surgeries for minors. Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti joins the program to break down the 6-3 decision, emphasizing the legal, medical, and cultural implications of the ruling. Skrmetti highlights the flawed science behind pediatric gender treatments, the growing international skepticism of such procedures, and the potential for future civil lawsuits from detransitioners. The conversation also explores the broader national impact of the ruling, including how states may handle cross-border medical procedures and the legal complexities surrounding parental rights and medical consent. Skrmetti underscores the importance of evidence-based policymaking over ideological influence, and the need for compassion and clarity in addressing gender dysphoria in youth. Sen. Bill Cassidy on the Big Beautiful Bill Clay welcomes U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana to discuss the progress of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a legislative package aimed at reforming student loans, increasing access to technical education, and reducing federal spending. Cassidy shares insights on bipartisan negotiations, the importance of long-term fiscal responsibility, and his optimism for passing meaningful reforms. The senator also weighs in on President Donald Trump’s handling of Iran, Israel, and national security, praising the administration’s firm stance on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. In a lighter segment, Clay engages with listener feedback on language used during the show, sparking a humorous exchange about politically correct terminology and free speech. He also shares a viral clip from comedian Whitney Cummings, who humorously reflects on how motherhood shifted her political views, resonating with many listeners navigating similar life changes.

He also touches briefly on sports headlines, including the Florida Panthers’ Stanley Cup victory, the NBA Finals, and Caitlin Clark’s performance in the WNBA. This hour is a must-listen for those interested in Supreme Court decisions, transgender youth legislation, parental rights, and conservative perspectives on gender identity issues.

In a cultural commentary segment, Clay revisits his viral moment on CNN involving the phrase “First Amendment and boobs,” sparking a humorous yet pointed discussion on free speech, media bias, and language censorship. He also responds to criticism of his remarks about Representative Ilhan Omar, reiterating his belief that those who claim America is one of the worst countries should consider relocating if they have the means.

Trump's Big Decision President Donald Trump faces a pivotal decision regarding Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Broadcasting solo from Washington, D.C., Clay Travis unpacks breaking developments in the Middle East, emphasizing the United States’ strategic position and military superiority. The hour centers on whether the U.S. should provide Israel with advanced “bunker-busting bombs” to eliminate Iran’s deeply buried nuclear facilities—specifically the fortified Fordo site—and whether the U.S. should support or tacitly approve Israel’s potential move to remove Iran’s Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah. Clay highlights President Trump’s recent statement asserting “complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” signaling deep U.S.-Israeli coordination. The show features analysis of satellite imagery and intelligence reports, underscoring the technical challenges of neutralizing Iran’s nuclear infrastructure without U.S. assistance. Clay argues that Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons is a rational strategy for regime survival, likening the situation to North Korea’s nuclear deterrent. He uses a compelling “antibiotic” analogy to stress the urgency of acting decisively now to prevent a more dangerous future. The hour also includes a robust discussion of the geopolitical implications of regime change in Iran, with Clay advocating for the removal of the Ayatollahs, citing their authoritarian rule and destabilizing influence across the Middle East. He draws a sharp contrast between past U.S. interventions, like the Iraq War, and the current situation, emphasizing that this is not about nation-building but about eliminating a clear and present nuclear threat. TX Senator Ted Cruz Texas Senator Ted Cruz joins the program to offer his perspective, strongly supporting Israel’s right to defend itself and warning of the catastrophic risks if Iran acquires nuclear weapons.

KY Senator Rand Paul KY Senator Rand Paul urges President Donald Trump to avoid direct military involvement and emphasizing constitutional limits on war powers. Paul critiques the potential consequences of U.S. intervention, including the risk of accelerating Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the dangers of regime change. The conversation shifts to the “Big Beautiful Bill,” where Senator Paul voices strong concerns about the national debt, criticizing the bill’s weak spending cuts and the proposed $5 trillion debt ceiling increase. He calls for fiscal responsibility and outlines his conditional support for the bill, contingent on separating the debt ceiling from tax reform. Paul also reflects on his complex relationship with President Trump, highlighting mutual respect despite policy disagreements. FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr Brendan Carr, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, joins the show to discuss media fairness, spectrum policy, and digital censorship. Carr addresses the imbalance in political coverage by legacy media outlets like ABC, CBS, and NBC, and outlines the FCC’s efforts to empower local broadcasters and investigate potential violations by NPR, PBS, and CBS’s “60 Minutes.” He also discusses the importance of restoring spectrum leadership to support emerging technologies like autonomous vehicles and AI, and defends free speech in the digital age, warning against government-corporate collusion in online censorship.

No Kings Nonsense Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis broadcasting solo from Washington, D.C., while Buck Sexton is in Cannes, France, meeting with major advertisers—a testament to the show's growing influence and reach. Clay reflects on the show's evolution and the recent surge in advertiser interest, highlighting the disconnect between mainstream brands and the show's massive, engaged audience. The hour delves into a wide range of topics, beginning with Clay’s personal experience spending Father’s Day at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum with his son. He draws a powerful parallel between the Wright brothers’ pioneering spirit and the current stagnation in American innovation, emphasizing how figures like Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are reigniting the nation’s exploratory ambition—particularly in space travel and technological advancement. The Left Has Lost the Plot Clay contrasts two major events in Washington over the weekend: a military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and the “No Kings” protest opposing President Trump. He critiques the protestors’ historical ignorance, arguing that the military’s role in defeating monarchy and establishing American democracy is being overlooked. He underscores how President Trump’s celebration of American history and military tradition stands in stark contrast to the left’s emotionally driven, media-fueled opposition. The discussion also touches on the cultural and educational decline, using George Washington University’s decision to drop the “Colonials” mascot as a case study in historical misunderstanding. Clay argues that this trend reflects a broader societal failure to teach and preserve accurate American history. Throughout the hour, Clay emphasizes the importance of authenticity in leadership and media, asserting that President Trump’s transparency and consistency have strengthened his support, especially among younger voters. He also warns against political violence, condemning recent threats and attacks, and urges listeners to engage through peaceful, democratic means. A Message to Iran Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with reflections on the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade and the “No Kings” protest, which Clay critiques as historically misguided. He emphasizes the importance of the American Revolution and the colonial army in securing freedom from monarchy, drawing a contrast between celebratory patriotism and modern anti-establishment demonstrations. Clay then shifts to a deep dive into California’s demographic and political transformation, highlighting the state’s historical evolution from sparsely populated territory to a booming state post-Gold Rush. He critiques progressive narratives that challenge U.S. sovereignty over California, particularly those that emphasize its Mexican and Spanish colonial past, and argues that such views ignore the role of Native Americans and historical context. The episode’s central theme revolves around escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Iran.

He critiques the protestors’ historical ignorance, arguing that the military’s role in defeating monarchy and establishing American democracy is being overlooked. He underscores how President Trump’s celebration of American history and military tradition stands in stark contrast to the left’s emotionally driven, media-fueled opposition.
