Eric Adams Out?
Breaking news on the New York City mayoral race, speculating on reports that Eric Adams may be offered a role in the Trump administration in exchange for dropping out. They analyze the political dynamics between Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and Zohran Mamdani, warning that Mamdani’s far-left agenda could be disastrous for the city. Buck argues that Adams, despite his flaws, played a key role in exposing the illegal immigration crisis under Biden, and that his stance deserves recognition.
From Drive-Bys to Drone-Bys
A major escalation in the war on drug cartels, with Trump announcing a lethal missile strike on a Venezuelan drug boat. The hosts analyze the implications of treating cartels as global narco-terrorists, suggesting this marks a strategic pivot from criminal justice to military-style deterrence. They explore the broader geopolitical context, including Venezuela’s role as a failed socialist state and its leader Nicolás Maduro’s designation as a narco-trafficker by the U.S. Treasury Department.
Clay and Buck also discuss the technological evolution of cartel violence, warning that drone warfare may soon replace traditional drive-by shootings. They highlight how cartels are already using drones to drop explosives, raising concerns about future domestic threats.
Psychological Manipulation
Clay recounts his personal experience of losing a multi-million-dollar partnership with FanDuel due to his outspoken stance on transgender athletes in women's sports. Despite generating millions in affiliate revenue, FanDuel severed ties with Clay and his company OutKick, citing his views as “too controversial.” This story sets the tone for a broader conversation about corporate censorship, cancel culture, and the economic consequences of speaking truth in media.
The hosts then spotlight Malcolm Gladwell’s recent reversal on the transgender sports debate. Gladwell, once silent on the issue, now publicly admits he was “cowed” into dishonesty and affirms that biological men should not compete in women’s sports. Clay and Buck dissect this shift, debating whether Gladwell’s change is a genuine admission or opportunistic repositioning. They emphasize the importance of intellectual honesty, especially among public figures with influence and financial security.
A major theme throughout the hour is the erosion of free speech, particularly in Western democracies. The hosts discuss the arrest of British comedian Graham Linehan for making jokes about transgender issues, warning that speech policing in the UK is a preview of what the American left would implement if given the chance. They argue that comedy, satire, and dissent must be protected, regardless of political sensitivities.
Ben Shapiro is a Lion
the hosts are joined by Ben Shapiro, founder of The Daily Wire, for a wide-ranging and high-energy conversation covering cultural politics, free speech, gender ideology, and the future of American cities. This hour blends serious political analysis with sharp humor and viral stories, making it a standout segment for listeners interested in conservative commentary, media censorship, and urban policy.
The hour kicks off with a critique of Coldplay’s Chris Martin, who awkwardly welcomed Israeli and Palestinian fans on stage during a concert. Shapiro calls out the performative virtue signaling and highlights the broader trend of leftist anti-Israel bias in entertainment and media. This leads into a discussion of Western cultural decline, including the arrest of British comedian Graham Linehan for tweets deemed offensive by UK authorities. Shapiro warns that free speech is under siege, and that the U.S. must use diplomatic and economic leverage to push back against censorship in allied nations.
Shapiro also introduces his new book, “Lions and Scavengers: The True Story of America and Her Critics,” which explores the divide between builders (lions) and destroyers (scavengers) in society. He argues that every individual must choose daily whether to contribute positively or tear down institutions like family, faith, and property rights. The book is positioned as a cultural manifesto for those defending Western civilization against radical progressivism.
The hosts and Shapiro then tackle the Malcolm Gladwell reversal on transgender athletes, debating whether his change of heart is sincere or opportunistic. Shapiro advocates for forgiveness and accountability, emphasizing the need to incentivize truth-telling in public discourse.

In Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts dive into a packed news cycle with a focus on President Donald Trump’s live Oval Office appearance, his strong stance on violent crime in Chicago, and a dramatic shift in U.S. policy toward drug cartels. This hour delivers high-impact political commentary, national security insights, and cultural observations, making it a must-listen for conservative audiences and political news followers.
The show opens with Trump’s Oval Office meeting with the President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, highlighting Poland’s role as a key U.S. ally. The hosts promise to bring listeners any breaking developments from the meeting, especially regarding U.S.-Russia relations and Trump’s message to Vladimir Putin amid ongoing tensions in Ukraine.
A major theme of the hour is Trump’s vow to intervene in Chicago’s crime crisis, sparking a heated debate with Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. Trump’s declaration that “we’re going in” signals potential federal law enforcement action, which Clay and Buck frame as part of a broader “war on violent crime”—a central issue they predict will dominate the fall political narrative. The hosts argue that increased police presence is the proven solution to urban violence, citing Washington D.C.’s turnaround as evidence.
Mayor Johnson’s counterclaim—that guns trafficked from red states are to blame for Chicago’s violence—is sharply criticized. Clay and Buck dismantle the argument, emphasizing that lawful gun ownership in red states correlates with low crime rates, and that criminals—not guns—are the root cause. They defend Second Amendment rights and call for stronger support of law enforcement, noting the shift in public sentiment since the anti-police rhetoric of 2020.
The hour also covers a major escalation in the war on drug cartels, with Trump announcing a lethal missile strike on a Venezuelan drug boat. The hosts analyze the implications of treating cartels as global narco-terrorists, suggesting this marks a strategic pivot from criminal justice to military-style deterrence. They explore the broader geopolitical context, including Venezuela’s role as a failed socialist state and its leader Nicolás Maduro’s designation as a narco-trafficker by the U.S. Treasury Department.
Clay and Buck also discuss the technological evolution of cartel violence, warning that drone warfare may soon replace traditional drive-by shootings. They highlight how cartels are already using drones to drop explosives, raising concerns about future domestic threats.

This hour is a must-listen for audiences interested in cultural commentary, conservative values, and the fight against political correctness.

The conversation also touches on the internal tensions within the LGBTQ+ community, with Buck suggesting that many gay and lesbian individuals are distancing themselves from the transgender movement, especially over issues like child gender surgeries. This segment explores the cultural backlash against radical gender ideology and the growing divide within progressive coalitions.
Clay and Buck further examine the moral responsibility of wealthy individuals to speak out against lies and defend truth. They criticize affluent public figures who remain silent out of fear of losing status or endorsements, asserting that “F-you money” should empower people to be honest.
The hour concludes with a discussion on U.S. foreign policy toward Venezuela, referencing the recent missile strike on a drug-smuggling vessel and the broader implications for Nicolás Maduro’s regime. The hosts highlight how Maduro is officially designated by the U.S. government as a narco-terrorist, likening him to a cartel boss running a failed socialist state. They also touch on the potential impact of regime change on Venezuelan asylum seekers in the U.S., suggesting many would return home if democracy were restored.

In a lighter segment, Clay is challenged to attend Kamala Harris’s book tour in Nashville wearing a “The Future is Female” shirt and a man bun, in homage to Matt Walsh. Shapiro jokingly declares it a “biblical obligation,” adding humor to the political banter. The trio also debates whether Kamala Harris will run for president in 2028, with Shapiro predicting she won’t.
The conversation shifts to the Democratic Party’s masculinity crisis, with Shapiro suggesting that Democrats have alienated “normal dudes” by embracing feminized politics and denying biological realities. He calls for a return to unapologetic masculinity and common sense, citing Trump and JD Vance as examples of authentic male leadership.
The hosts also discuss the New York City mayoral race, speculating on reports that Eric Adams may be offered a role in the Trump administration in exchange for dropping out.

The hour wraps with a viral story from Jacksonville, Florida, where a five-year-old boy snuck out to get breakfast at Chick-fil-A, sparking a humorous discussion about fast food favorites and parenting. The hosts use the story to highlight the value of police body cams and the everyday heroism of law enforcement.
