On this episode, Ryan sits down with Salena Zito, senior reporter at Washington Examiner, to break down the growing political divide surrounding John Fetterman and what it means for the future of Pennsylvania—and national politics.

Why are Democrats turning on Fetterman? How did his pro-Israel stance and candid warnings about Trump reshape his standing within the party? And why is he gaining surprising support from Republicans?

Zito explains the unique political landscape of Pennsylvania—a true swing state where voters reject extremes—and unpacks the internal battles between establishment Democrats and the progressive wing. The conversation also explores tensions with Josh Shapiro, the 2026 election outlook, and whether Fetterman could face a serious primary challenge.

Plus: a deep dive into the underreported economic boom in AI, energy, and manufacturing across Pennsylvania—and why blue-collar workers may benefit most from the next wave of innovation.

Crickets from Iran

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton outline the administration’s next steps as Vice President JD Vance prepares for a high‑stakes diplomatic mission to Pakistan for renewed negotiations with Iran. The hosts analyze President Trump’s morning comments on CNBC, where he stressed American control over the Strait of Hormuz, refused to extend the current ceasefire deadline, and warned that military action could resume if negotiations stall.

The conversation explores whether the U.S. naval blockade is truly succeeding, how Iran is attempting to leverage ceasefire optics, and why negotiations with the Iranian regime are notoriously difficult due to deception, internal power struggles, and the lack of a clear decision‑maker within Tehran’s leadership. Clay and Buck also discuss the absence of any visible popular uprising inside Iran despite heavy military pressure, questioning assumptions about regime collapse and examining whether economic pressure, prolonged embargoes, or stronger military escalation would be required to force real change.

Spilling the SCOTUS Tea

An in‑depth conversation with journalist and Federalist editor‑in‑chief Mollie Hemingway, discussing her new book Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution. Hemingway addresses speculation around potential Supreme Court retirements, explaining why Justice Samuel Alito is unlikely to step down soon while also noting that multiple Republican‑appointed justices are now in their 70s. She explores Alito’s judicial legacy, originalist philosophy, and long‑term focus on religious liberty, including his interest in revisiting key precedent such as Employment Division v. Smith. The discussion also touches on internal Court tensions, Chief Justice John Roberts’ struggles to maintain institutional norms, and the breakdown of collegiality among justices.

A major portion of the interview is devoted to exclusive reporting on the Dobbs leak, which overturned Roe v. Wade. Hemingway details how the leak endangered justices and their families, revealing that conservative justices faced sustained assassination threats while liberal justices allegedly delayed their dissent for weeks. She outlines failures in the Supreme Court’s internal investigation, explains why the leaker was likely a clerk or court staffer rather than a justice, and connects the episode to ongoing concerns about politically motivated leaks, slow‑walked opinions, and public attacks on the legitimacy of the Court. Hemingway also weighs in on pending Supreme Court cases, including racial gerrymandering and birthright citizenship, and offers insight into Justice Alito’s continued influence on major decisions. The segment closes with candid discussion of how Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is viewed internally, with critiques of her jurisprudence and legal reasoning.

Don't Wear a Bikini on the Job

An interview with Michele Tafoya, former NFL broadcaster and Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota. Tafoya discusses her record‑setting fundraising numbers, grassroots momentum, and why Minnesota represents one of the most important potential Senate flips in the upcoming midterms. She explains that voter anger in Minnesota is driven by government fraud, lack of accountability for Democratic leadership, rising crime, failing schools, and embarrassment over national perception of the state.

Tafoya strongly criticizes Governor Tim Walz, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, and Attorney General Keith Ellison, accusing them of avoiding accountability and pushing divisive policies. She highlights education failures, controversial ethnic studies curricula, and declining academic performance as key local issues. The conversation also focuses heavily on women’s sports, parental rights, and opposition to biological males competing in girls’ athletics—an issue Tafoya says continues to resonate deeply with parents across Minnesota. She frames the Senate race as both a Minnesota‑specific accountability fight and a nationally consequential election that could solidify Republican control of the U.S. Senate.

Kamala: Imma Get Mine

Clay and Buck report that Democratic Representative Sheila Cherfilus‑McCormick of Florida has resigned from Congress after being found guilty of numerous House ethics violations and facing federal charges related to the alleged misuse of FEMA funds. The hosts explain why this resignation matters nationally, given the narrow margins in the House and multiple recent resignations, and what it could mean for upcoming special elections. The hour also continues real‑time monitoring of U.S.–Iran diplomacy, with fresh reporting that Vice President JD Vance still has not departed for Pakistan, increasingly suggesting that any negotiations may shift to sec

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show is dominated by an in-depth, fast-moving discussion of escalating U.S.–Iran tensions, President Donald Trump’s foreign policy strategy, and the geopolitical stakes surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton open the program by outlining the administration’s next steps as Vice President JD Vance prepares for a high‑stakes diplomatic mission to Pakistan for renewed negotiations with Iran. The hosts analyze President Trump’s morning comments on CNBC, where he stressed American control over the Strait of Hormuz, refused to extend the current ceasefire deadline, and warned that military action could resume if negotiations stall.

The conversation explores whether the U.S. naval blockade is truly succeeding, how Iran is attempting to leverage ceasefire optics, and why negotiations with the Iranian regime are notoriously difficult due to deception, internal power struggles, and the lack of a clear decision‑maker within Tehran’s leadership. Clay and Buck also discuss the absence of any visible popular uprising inside Iran despite heavy military pressure, questioning assumptions about regime collapse and examining whether economic pressure, prolonged embargoes, or stronger military escalation would be required to force real change.

The middle of Hour 1 focuses on domestic political reaction to the Iran conflict, particularly backlash against Democrats who appear to echo Iranian propaganda. Clay and Buck break down the controversy surrounding Senator Chris Murphy, who briefly appeared to celebrate unverified reports that Iranian “shadow fleet” vessels bypassed the U.S. blockade—claims later debunked by Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst. The hosts argue this episode reflects a broader pattern of partisan opposition where political figures seem more eager to criticize President Trump than to support U.S. national security interests during an international crisis. Buck draws historical parallels to Democratic opposition during the Iraq War surge, reinforcing the show’s theme that foreign policy success is often viewed through a domestic political lens. The discussion expands into commentary on media narratives, information warfare, and how misinformation spreads rapidly during international conflicts.

In the latter portion of Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the tone briefly shifts to political strategy and cultural commentary, including an extended, tongue‑in‑cheek debate about red‑state to blue‑state migration and whether Republicans could theoretically flip Connecticut with population movement and voter realignment. The hosts weave humor into serious electoral math, referencing 2024 presidential vote totals and tax policy comparisons across the Northeast. The hour closes with listener talkbacks reacting to Iran policy, including arguments over whether “boots on the ground” are necessary to defeat the Iranian regime and spark internal revolt. Throughout Hour 1, Clay and Buck set the stage for deeper legal and political analysis coming later in the program, teasing an upcoming interview with journalist Molly Hemingway about her new book and behind‑the‑scenes Supreme Court developments—making this first hour a dense, analysis‑heavy foundation for the rest of the show.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers two headline‑driven, substantive interviews focused on the Supreme Court, major 2026 Senate battlegrounds, and cultural issues driving voter anger nationwide. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton open the hour with continued monitoring of the Iran ceasefire deadline and whether Vice President JD Vance will ultimately travel to Pakistan for negotiations, before pivoting quickly to the legal and political centerpiece of the hour: the U.S. Supreme Court.

The first half of Hour 2 features an in‑depth conversation with journalist and Federalist editor‑in‑chief Mollie Hemingway, discussing her new book Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution. Hemingway addresses speculation around potential Supreme Court retirements, explaining why Justice Samuel Alito is unlikely to step down soon while also noting that multiple Republican‑appointed justices are now in their 70s. She explores Alito’s judicial legacy, originalist philosophy, and long‑term focus on religious liberty, including his interest in revisiting key precedent such as Employment Division v. Smith. The discussion also touches on internal Court tensions, Chief Justice John Roberts’ struggles to maintain institutional norms, and the breakdown of collegiality among justices.

A major portion of the interview is devoted to exclusive reporting on the Dobbs leak, which overturned Roe v. Wade. Hemingway details how the leak endangered justices and their families, revealing that conservative justices faced sustained assassination threats while liberal justices allegedly delayed their dissent for weeks. She outlines failures in the Supreme Court’s internal investigation, explains why the leaker was likely a clerk or court staffer rather than a justice, and connects the episode to ongoing concerns about politically motivated leaks, slow‑walked opinions, and public attacks on the legitimacy of the Court. Hemingway also weighs in on pending Supreme Court cases, including racial gerrymandering and birthright citizenship, and offers insight into Justice Alito’s continued influence on major decisions. The segment closes with candid discussion of how Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is viewed internally, with critiques of her jurisprudence and legal reasoning.

The second half of Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show features a wide‑ranging interview with Michele Tafoya, former NFL broadcaster and Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota. Tafoya discusses her record‑setting fundraising numbers, grassroots momentum, and why Minnesota represents one of the most important potential Senate flips in the upcoming midterms. She explains that voter anger in Minnesota is driven by government fraud, lack of accountability for Democratic leadership, rising crime, failing schools, and embarrassment over national perception of the state.

Tafoya strongly criticizes Governor Tim Walz, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, and Attorney General Keith Ellison, accusing them of avoiding accountability and pushing divisive policies.

The conversation also focuses heavily on women’s sports, parental rights, and opposition to biological males competing in girls’ athletics—an issue Tafoya says continues to resonate deeply with parents across Minnesota. She frames the Senate race as both a Minnesota‑specific accountability fight and a nationally consequential election that could solidify Republican control of the U.S. Senate.

The hour closes with Tafoya weighing in on journalistic integrity in sports media, reacting to recent controversy involving an NFL coach and a reporter, and offering advice to young women aspiring to careers in broadcasting. She emphasizes professionalism, boundaries, work ethic, and integrity as essential to long‑term success. Hour 2 ultimately blends Supreme Court bombshells, election strategy, culture‑war flashpoints, and behind‑the‑scenes reporting, making it one of the most information‑dense and politically consequential hours of the show.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with breaking political news that immediately raises the stakes in an already close House balance of power. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton report that Democratic Representative Sheila Cherfilus‑McCormick of Florida has resigned from Congress after being found guilty of numerous House ethics violations and facing federal charges related to the alleged misuse of FEMA funds. The hosts explain why this resignation matters nationally, given the narrow margins in the House and multiple recent resignations, and what it could mean for upcoming special elections. The hour also continues real‑time monitoring of U.S.–Iran diplomacy, with fresh reporting that Vice President JD Vance still has not departed for Pakistan, increasingly suggesting that any negotiations may shift to secure video calls instead of in‑person talks.

The conversation then pivots to the 2028 Democratic presidential field, with a heavy focus on Kamala Harris and the likelihood of her running for president again. Clay and Buck analyze Harris’s early messaging, particularly her emphasis on identity politics and appeals to Black women as the “backbone” of the Democratic Party. The hosts argue that Harris’s strategy will center on framing herself as the rightful nominee based on race and gender, portraying resistance as discriminatory, and blaming her previous loss on being handed an impossible situation with only 107 days to campaign. They debate whether Democratic Party leadership can realistically stop Harris from winning the nomination, discussing the lack of competing candidates who could effectively challenge her base of support and how the Democratic primary calendar could determine the outcome.

A major portion of Hour 3 is devoted to Ron DeSantis’s political future following new reporting suggesting he may be open to joining a Trump administration or even accepting a Supreme Court nomination. Clay and Buck break down conflicting media narratives about whether DeSantis is pursuing a Cabinet role, Attorney General position, or a seat on the Supreme Court. They argue DeSantis would be a particularly formidable Supreme Court nominee due to his legal background, ideological consistency, and resistance to the type of attacks used against past nominees. The discussion includes speculation about Clarence Thomas’s future, potential Court vacancies, and why a long‑term conservative justice could be one of President Trump’s most consequential legacy decisions.

The latter half of Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show shifts to culture and sports, sparked by President Trump’s CNBC remarks criticizing Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rules and the current state of college athletics. Clay and Buck explain how NIL has effectively turned college sports into unregulated professional free agency, with players transferring freely, earning millions, and remaining in college longer than ever rather than entering professional leagues. They discuss the financial strain this has placed on universities, the collapse of the “student‑athlete” model, taxpayer involvement in athletic programs, and why they believe Congress will eventually need to step in with an antitrust exemption to restore structure and fairness.

The hour closes with a lighter but revealing segment on regional language differences across the United States, as callers and hosts compare terms like “in line” versus “on line,” “cart” versus “buggy,” and pronunciation cues that signal where someone grew up. Throughout Hour 3, Clay and Buck blend breaking political developments, presidential politics, Supreme Court speculation, college sports reform, and cultural observations, delivering a wide‑ranging and news‑dense conclusion to the day’s program.
