Steve Hilton: Hold My Beer 

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.

Clay Calls In from FIFA! 

Clay calls in from the FIFA World Cup draw event at the Kennedy Center, where President Donald Trump received the inaugural FIFA Peace Award. Clay describes the event’s global scale, Trump’s vision of tying the World Cup to America’s 250th anniversary celebrations, and the cultural clash between soccer’s left-leaning U.S. fan base and Trump’s presence. Buck and Clay discuss the international reaction, noting outrage from sports media and European elites, while highlighting Trump’s strategic use of global sports diplomacy.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin 

Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma provides critical insight into U.S. national security and economic policy. Mullin confirms the legality and necessity of recent military strikes on Venezuelan narco boats, dismissing war crime allegations as baseless and detailing classified briefings that show cartel operatives actively attempting to recover narcotics and communicate with reinforcements. He outlines the Trump administration’s strategy to pressure Nicolás Maduro to leave power, dismantle drug labs, and destabilize terrorist networks without committing U.S. ground troops. Mullin also addresses the American beef industry crisis, explaining collapsing cattle prices, foreign-owned meat packer monopolies, and the looming threat of corporate consolidation. He calls for potential policy solutions, including price-fixing investigations, insurance backstops for ranchers, and reforms to protect domestic protein production.

Isabel Brown: Make American Babies Again

Buck welcomes 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 je

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Buck Sexton hosting solo while Clay attends the high-profile FIFA World Cup draw event in Washington, D.C., where President Donald Trump received the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize. Buck shares live updates from the Kennedy Center, highlighting Trump’s remarks on global peace efforts, U.S. strength, and the historic scale of the upcoming World Cup hosted in North America.

The hour’s lead news story centers on the arrest of the January 6th pipe bomber suspect, Brian Cole Jr., after nearly five years of investigation. Buck scrutinizes the FBI’s handling of the case, questioning why it languished under the Biden administration despite being one of the most serious threats tied to the Capitol riot. He plays clips from CNN’s Jake Tapper, who incorrectly described the suspect as a “white man,” and critiques media narratives that appear politically motivated. Buck also examines comments from former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Senator Mark Warner, contrasting their defense of investigative delays with the reality that new leadership under Cash Patel and Dan Bonino solved the case using existing evidence. The discussion underscores concerns about FBI priorities, political bias, and accountability.

Buck further explores reports suggesting the suspect may have been motivated by anger over the 2020 election, while emphasizing the gravity of the crime—two live pipe bombs planted near the RNC and DNC headquarters. He argues that the case’s resolution challenges the dominant narrative of January 6th and raises questions about selective enforcement during the Biden era.

In addition to breaking news, Buck previews upcoming interviews with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin on Venezuelan narco boat strikes and conservative commentator Isabelle Brown on her fiery CNN appearance. He also dives into the controversy surrounding alleged war crimes in U.S. military strikes against drug cartels, citing Senator Tom Cotton’s classified briefing remarks affirming the legality and necessity of the operations. Buck frames these strikes as part of a broader effort to dismantle cartel networks and restore U.S. military strength under the Trump administration.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show brings listeners a mix of live reporting, political analysis, and exclusive interviews. Clay calls in from the FIFA World Cup draw event at the Kennedy Center, where President Donald Trump received the inaugural FIFA Peace Award. Clay describes the event’s global scale, Trump’s vision of tying the World Cup to America’s 250th anniversary celebrations, and the cultural clash between soccer’s left-leaning U.S. fan base and Trump’s presence. Buck and Clay discuss the international reaction, noting outrage from sports media and European elites, while highlighting Trump’s strategic use of global sports diplomacy.

The hour also covers breaking news on the January 6th pipe bomber case, as reports emerge that suspect Brian Cole Jr. questioned the 2020 election results. Buck warns listeners about media spin framing the suspect as a Trump supporter without full context, emphasizing how narratives are weaponized for political gain. He underscores the seriousness of the crime—live pipe bombs planted near the RNC and DNC—and promises continued coverage as more facts develop.

Buck then interviews Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, who provides critical insight into U.S. national security and economic policy. Mullin confirms the legality and necessity of recent military strikes on Venezuelan narco boats, dismissing war crime allegations as baseless and detailing classified briefings that show cartel operatives actively attempting to recover narcotics and communicate with reinforcements. He outlines the Trump administration’s strategy to pressure Nicolás Maduro to leave power, dismantle drug labs, and destabilize terrorist networks without committing U.S. ground troops. Mullin also addresses the American beef industry crisis, explaining collapsing cattle prices, foreign-owned meat packer monopolies, and the looming threat of corporate consolidation. He calls for potential policy solutions, including price-fixing investigations, insurance backstops for ranchers, and reforms to protect domestic protein production.

The hour closes with Buck previewing Isabelle Brown’s upcoming segment on her fiery CNN appearance and a sharp critique of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz following Trump’s controversial remarks. Buck frames Walz’s outrage as political theater, contrasting it with his administration’s failure to address massive fraud in Minnesota’s child nutrition program.
