Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a politically explosive and news-packed segment that centers on the release of Russia-gate documents, a high-profile interview with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, and breaking developments from Tulsi Gabbard’s press conference at the White House. The hour opens with Clay and Buck discussing Gabbard’s bombshell claims that former President Barack Obama and his national security team orchestrated a false intelligence narrative to delegitimize Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory. Gabbard, now serving as Director of National Intelligence under President Trump, alleges that Obama knowingly directed the creation of a fabricated intelligence community assessment and has referred him to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.
Senator Rand Paul joins the program to weigh in on the Russiagate revelations and to reiterate his long-standing calls for accountability, particularly regarding Dr. Anthony Fauci. Paul accuses Fauci of lying under oath about gain-of-function research and COVID-19 origins and confirms he has submitted multiple criminal referrals to the DOJ. He also criticizes the Federal Reserve’s $2 billion headquarters renovation, highlighting the lack of congressional oversight and the Fed’s controversial practice of paying banks not to lend money—an arrangement he says costs taxpayers $188 billion annually, with a significant portion going to foreign banks.
The conversation shifts to judicial appointments, where Paul notes that the Senate has confirmed twice as many Trump appointees as it had by the same point in 2017, despite Democrat obstruction and outdated procedural hurdles. He expresses deep concern over the unchecked power of U.S. intelligence agencies, calling for sweeping reforms to prevent future abuses. Paul argues that the intelligence community has become too powerful and opaque, citing the misuse of FISA databases and surveillance programs like Quiet Skies, which allegedly targeted political figures such as Tulsi Gabbard.
In a lighter but pointed moment, Paul criticizes Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear for participating in a Vogue photo shoot and vetoing a bill that would have banned sex change surgeries for minors. He labels Beshear as part of the extreme left and praises the Kentucky legislature for overriding the veto. The segment also includes a humorous exchange about the bureaucratic nightmare of obtaining a Real ID, with Paul sharing his own frustrations and joking about government overreach.
The hour crescendos with a detailed breakdown of Tulsi Gabbard’s press conference, where she outlines what she describes as irrefutable evidence of a coordinated effort by Obama-era officials to fabricate intelligence and launch a coup against the incoming Trump administration. Gabbard claims the Steele dossier was knowingly discredited yet used to justify surveillance and media narratives. She accuses the intelligence community, including former CIA Director John Brennan, of manipulating assessments and misleading lawmakers. The hosts emphasize the media’s complicity, calling out CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post for spreading disinformation and receiving Pulitzers for what they describe as “fake news.”
As the hour closes, Clay and Buck reflect on the broader implications of these revelations, suggesting they could reshape public understanding of both the 2016 and 2020 elections. They highlight the significance of a former Democrat like Gabbard leading the charge for transparency and accountability and speculate on the legal and political fallout that could follow. The segment ends with breaking news updates, including a judge’s refusal to release Epstein-related grand jury transcripts and a push to fire 25,000 IRS agents, underscoring the show’s commitment to covering stories the mainstream media allegedly ignores.
