Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jan 20 2026

Hour 1 - Biden’s Economic Hangover

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with reaction to the College Football National Championship, where Indiana defeated Miami in a game Clay Travis and Buck Sexton attended in person alongside President Donald Trump. The hosts describe the atmosphere as overwhelmingly pro‑Indiana despite Miami hosting, highlight Trump’s appearance during the national anthem, and reflect on what they characterize as a renewed sense of public patriotism at major American sporting events.

The bulk of Hour 1 is devoted to a deep dive into President Trump’s escalating push to acquire Greenland, which Clay and Buck frame as one of the most consequential and unexpected foreign‑policy stories of the moment. They analyze Trump’s comments asserting that Denmark cannot adequately defend the territory, his insistence that the U.S. “has to have it” for national security reasons, and prediction‑market odds placing roughly a 50‑50 chance on American control of at least part of Greenland in the near future. The hosts connect the potential acquisition to U.S. military strategy, Arctic dominance, rare‑earth minerals, long‑term resource access, and historical precedents like the Louisiana Purchase and the Alaska deal.

Hour 1 also explores the U.S. military presence at Greenland’s Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base) and NATO reactions, including symbolic European military drills. Clay and Buck argue these gestures have not deterred Trump, who has elevated Greenland as a headline issue ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos. They discuss Trump’s negotiating style—starting with seemingly outrageous positions to force concessions—and speculate on territorial status, sovereignty questions, and whether Greenland’s small population could eventually vote to become a U.S. territory under existing American territorial law.

The conversation expands to Davos and global politics, with commentary on European leaders, NATO, and California Governor Gavin Newsom’s aggressive anti‑Trump rhetoric at the summit. Clay and Buck mock Newsom’s posture, portray him as positioning himself for the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, and describe intra‑Democratic competition over who will emerge as Trump’s most visible opponent on the world stage. They also note Trump’s strategy to dominate media attention at Davos by centering the conversation on U.S. strength and economic performance.

In the second half of Hour 1 of the program, the hosts mark the one‑year anniversary of President Trump’s inauguration, assessing achievements during his first year back in office. They credit Trump with fully securing the U.S. southern border, sharply reducing illegal crossings, cutting fentanyl deaths, lowering gas prices, boosting stock markets, reducing inflation, and driving strong GDP growth. Clay and Buck acknowledge lingering public frustration with high prices but attribute economic pain to what they call the “Biden hangover,” arguing that the data increasingly supports Trump’s economic case even if sentiment lags reality.

Hour 1 concludes with a forward‑looking discussion on technology, artificial intelligence, and economic growth, including automation, AI‑driven healthcare, robotics, self‑driving vehicles, and productivity gains as the only realistic path to balancing the budget long‑term. Clay and Buck discuss Elon Musk’s projections for AI, healthcare delivery, autonomous driving, and GDP growth, arguing that transformative technological advances could dramatically lower costs, increase efficiency, and reshape daily life within the next decade.

The hour ends with anticipation of an upcoming White House press briefing featuring President Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, previewing more breaking news as Trump prepares to head to Davos and continue shaping the global narrative.

Hour 2 - Trump 2.0

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show centers on a full evaluation of President Donald Trump’s first year in his second term, marking the one‑year anniversary of Trump’s return to office and the official start of Trump 2.0 Year Two. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton frame this hour as a turning point—from executing the campaign agenda to actively selling Trump’s record ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which the hosts describe as the final national referendum on Trump’s presidency.

The hour opens with a detailed breakdown of what Clay outlines as eight major accomplishments of Trump’s second term so far, led by the most secure southern border in U.S. history, followed by record‑high stock prices, strong GDP growth, declining inflation despite tariffs, historic murder declines, collapsing fentanyl overdose deaths, falling mortgage rates, and four‑year‑low gas prices. Clay and Buck argue these metrics reflect decisive leadership and policy execution, even as they acknowledge lingering economic frustration among voters due to residual inflation from prior administrations. Listener polls and talkbacks show overwhelming support from Trump voters, with most grading the president’s first year an “A.”

A significant portion of Hour 2 focuses on organizational discipline within the Trump administration, with both hosts emphasizing the stark contrast between Trump’s first term staff turbulence and the cohesion of his second‑term leadership team. They credit figures such as Susie Wiles, Stephen Miller, James Blair, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for executing policy with consistency and clarity. Buck notes the absence of earlier frustrations with staff sabotage and media distractions, arguing the administration is now operating with experience and unity.

The hosts also identify what they call the single largest unforced error of Trump’s first year: mishandling the Epstein files rollout by Attorney General Pam Bondi. Both Clay and Buck criticize the communication strategy surrounding the issue, argue the release has been unnecessarily delayed, and stress that public accountability remains unfinished business, even as they maintain overall confidence in the administration’s leadership.

Hour 2 of the program then shifts to economic and legal policy, with discussion of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s defense of Trump’s tariff authority and ongoing Supreme Court challenges. Clay expresses concern that the Court may restrict aspects of Trump’s use of tariff powers under emergency economic authorities, while acknowledging these disputes are central to the administration’s “America First” strategy and enforcement leverage.

A major cultural segment in Hour 2 examines what Clay and Buck describe as modern left‑wing victimhood narratives, sparked by comments made on The View by actress Pam Grier claiming she witnessed lynchings as a child in Ohio. The hosts dissect historical data showing the claim is impossible given Grier’s birth year and Ohio’s documented history. They argue the story reflects a broader media failure to challenge false narratives that reinforce ideological grievance politics, highlighting how such claims go unchallenged on mainstream television.

This discussion expands into a deeper breakdown of historical lynching data, including distinctions between frontier justice, mob violence, and formal definitions used by organizations like the NAACP. Buck emphasizes that lynching history is often misrepresented for political impact, while Clay argues objective reality and historical context must matter in public discourse.

The hour also includes live coverage and reaction to President Trump’s ongoing White House press briefing, where Trump highlights ICE enforcement actions, displays images of violent offenders targeted by deportation efforts, and condemns sanctuary jurisdictions—reinforcing immigration enforcement as a central theme for his Davos messaging.

Hour 3 - Why Greenland Matters

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show is dominated by live coverage and analysis of President Donald Trump’s White House press conference marking the one‑year anniversary of Trump 2.0. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton bring listeners extended excerpts and real‑time commentary as Trump outlines what he views as the defining accomplishments of his second term while previewing themes he is expected to carry to the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Throughout hour 3, Trump highlights what he describes as historic economic gains, including record stock market highs, massive growth in retirement accounts, trillions of dollars in new domestic investment commitments, and sharp reductions in the trade deficit. Clay and Buck analyze Trump’s claim that tariffs have produced national‑security benefits without triggering inflation, as well as his assertion that corporate reshoring and manufacturing expansion have accelerated as foreign companies move operations into the United States to avoid tariffs.

A major policy focus in Hour 3 is drug pricing reform, with Trump emphasizing newly secured most‑favored‑nation pricing agreements with major pharmaceutical companies that he says will dramatically lower prescription costs for Americans. Clay and Buck discuss Trump’s frustration with what he perceives as media underreporting of these changes and frame the issue as potentially one of the most consequential healthcare reforms of his presidency.

The hosts then break down Trump’s comments on immigration enforcement, particularly his defense of ICE agents and his decision to display photos of violent offenders targeted for removal. Clay and Buck argue this visual tactic explains who ICE is actually arresting—criminal offenders rather than law‑abiding residents—and contrast Trump’s messaging with recent media criticism of immigration enforcement operations. The discussion also includes Trump’s remarks about fraud and public corruption in Minnesota, including comments referencing Representative Ilhan Omar’s finances and alleged misuse of public funds.

Hour 3 transitions into a detailed discussion of Greenland and geopolitics, which Clay and Buck describe as one of the most important foreign‑policy themes emerging ahead of Davos. They respond to statements from European leaders, including the European Commission and Danish officials, rejecting any U.S. claim to Greenland. Clay and Buck outline Trump’s strategic rationale, focusing on Arctic security, resource access, emerging shipping lanes, and historical precedents such as the U.S. purchase of Alaska and the U.S. Virgin Islands from Denmark. They argue Trump envisions a negotiated, voluntary territorial arrangement rather than military action, potentially involving direct payments and a referendum among Greenland’s population.

The latter half of Hour 3 of the program features listener reactions and call‑ins grading Trump’s first year back in office. The majority of callers give Trump an “A” or “A+,” praising domestic and foreign policy accomplishments while also expressing frustration with Congress for not doing more to support Trump’s agenda. Some callers cite lingering issues such as DOJ accountability and transparency as reasons for slightly lower grades.  The hour concludes with lighter, unscripted moments as Clay and Buck discuss personal travel aspirations to Alaska, Greenland, and California’s Alcatraz swim, blending humor with audience engagement. The show wraps with anticipation of further developments from Trump’s Davos trip and ongoing coverage of his second‑term agenda.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jan 19 2026

Would They Do This is in a Mosque?

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton broadcasting from Miami ahead of the College Football National Championship, setting the stage for a wide‑ranging discussion of breaking national news, political unrest, and cultural conflict. The hour quickly pivots to major developing stories, including escalating protests in Minneapolis, federal immigration enforcement, media bias, and the role of political activists disrupting religious institutions.

The primary focus of Hour 1 is the viral Minneapolis church disruption, where left‑wing anti‑ICE protesters stormed a live Christian worship service to protest immigration enforcement. Clay and Buck condemn the protest as a blatant violation of religious freedom, private property rights, and basic civil order, emphasizing how the protesters entered a church during Sunday services, frightened congregants—including children—and halted worship. The hosts highlight how the pastor calmly but firmly demanded the protesters leave, while national media figures—including former CNN host Don Lemon—actively participated in the confrontation.

The Truth About Taxes

California’s looming tax and budget crisis, spotlighting elite left‑wing commentary advocating aggressive wealth taxation. Clay and Buck react strongly to remarks from tech journalist Kara Swisher, who criticized wealthy Californians seeking to leave the state and suggested “shock and awe” taxation. The hosts argue her comments exemplify the hostile mindset driving capital flight from high‑tax blue states like California, New York, and Illinois. They explain how federalism encourages competition between states and why Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are emerging as major economic and population winners due to lower taxes, reduced regulation, and improved quality of life.

The discussion broadens to business migration and wealth exodus trends, with examples including Elon Musk, David Sacks, Ken Griffin, and Oracle’s major expansion in Nashville. Clay and Buck argue that geography is no longer a limiting factor for innovation, contending that remote work and mobile capital have permanently weakened traditional dominance by Silicon Valley and Wall Street. Hour 2 emphasizes how excessive taxation and ineffective governance accelerate wealth flight and ultimately undermine state budgets dependent on high earners.

Self Service vs. Public Service

An in‑depth discussion of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, her inflammatory rhetoric regarding the United States, and questions surrounding her reported multimillion‑dollar net worth. Clay and Buck contrast Omar’s refugee origin story with her criticism of America, arguing that her comments reflect broader ingratitude within progressive immigration politics. They question how elected officials who have benefited enormously from U.S. opportunity can openly disparage the country, tying the issue to voter frustration over immigration, federal spending, and cultural tensions—particularly in the context of the Minneapolis anti‑ICE unrest discussed earlier in the show.

Next Top Democrat?

Josh Shapiro, Kamala Harris, and the 2024 vice‑presidential selection process. Clay and Buck revisit arguments that antisemitism and political insecurity played a role in Harris’s decision‑making and criticize what they describe as a weak Democratic bench. The hour closes with additional comments from Don Lemon, who accuses critics of “white supremacy,” drawing further pushback from Clay and Buck as evidence of identity‑based deflection rather than accountability.  Clay and Buck are attending the national championship game tonight along with President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Florida political leaders—bringing the program to a close on a mix of breaking news, political analysis, and cultural commentary.

Hour 1 - Would They Do This is in a Mosque?

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton broadcasting from Miami ahead of the College Football National Championship, setting the stage for a wide‑ranging discussion of breaking national news, political unrest, and cultural conflict. The hour quickly pivots to major developing stories, including escalating protests in Minneapolis, federal immigration enforcement, media bias, and the role of political activists disrupting religious institutions.

The primary focus of Hour 1 is the viral Minneapolis church disruption, where left‑wing anti‑ICE protesters stormed a live Christian worship service to protest immigration enforcement. Clay and Buck condemn the protest as a blatant violation of religious freedom, private property rights, and basic civil order, emphasizing how the protesters entered a church during Sunday services, frightened congregants—including children—and halted worship. The hosts highlight how the pastor calmly but firmly demanded the protesters leave, while national media figures—including former CNN host Don Lemon—actively participated in the confrontation.

A major portion of the hour centers on Don Lemon’s presence inside the church, where he argued that the protesters had a First Amendment right to interrupt the service. Clay and Buck dismantle that claim by explaining the legal limits of free speech, emphasizing that the First Amendment does not allow trespassing or the disruption of private religious services. They argue Lemon crossed the line from observer to activist, particularly as video evidence shows him coordinating with protesters before entering the church. The hosts question whether journalistic protections apply when a reporter knowingly accompanies unlawful activity.
The discussion expands to federal law enforcement and immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, following a deadly encounter between ICE agents and Renee Good, which ignited the protests. 

In Hour 1, Clay and Buck analyze reporting that the FBI is now investigating whether ICE agents were assaulted during the incident, not merely the agent’s use of force. They challenge media narratives portraying Goode’s partner as a “widow,” noting the two were not married, and play audio allegedly capturing her encouraging the confrontation, including telling her partner to flee ICE agents—actions the hosts say could constitute instigation.

The hosts sharply criticize the New York Times for publishing extensive personal information about the ICE agent involved, accusing the paper of reckless doxing that endangers law enforcement officers and their families. Clay argues that President Trump should publicly honor the agent at the State of the Union, stating the media has already exposed his identity in full. Buck adds that such coverage is designed to intimidate federal officers and deter enforcement nationwide.

Hour 1 also examines the potential use of the FACE Act, a federal law protecting access to religious institutions and clinics, with Clay noting that the Biden administration aggressively prosecuted abortion‑clinic protesters under the statute. The hosts question whether the same law could be applied to protesters who forcibly disrupted a church worship service, discussing possible legal consequences and Trump administration Civil Rights Division investigations.

The hour concludes with live updates indicating protests spreading across Minneapolis, including demonstrators entering Target stores demanding the abolition of ICE. Clay reports that President Trump has 1,500 troops on standby to respond if unrest escalates further. Both hosts criticize Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz for staying silent amid the chaos, arguing that their lack of leadership has allowed disorder to spread.

Hour 2 - The Truth About Taxes

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show expands the political and cultural analysis following the breaking news in Minneapolis, shifting focus to the broader ideological direction of the Democratic Party, immigration policy, wealth, taxation, and the emerging 2028 presidential primary landscape. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton use Hour 2 to examine what they describe as increasing radicalization, internal contradictions, and elite hypocrisy within modern Democratic leadership.

The hour opens with an in‑depth discussion of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, her inflammatory rhetoric regarding the United States, and questions surrounding her reported multimillion‑dollar net worth. Clay and Buck contrast Omar’s refugee origin story with her criticism of America, arguing that her comments reflect broader ingratitude within progressive immigration politics. They question how elected officials who have benefited enormously from U.S. opportunity can openly disparage the country, tying the issue to voter frustration over immigration, federal spending, and cultural tensions—particularly in the context of the Minneapolis anti‑ICE unrest discussed earlier in the show.

Hour 2 then pivots to California’s looming tax and budget crisis, spotlighting elite left‑wing commentary advocating aggressive wealth taxation. Clay and Buck react strongly to remarks from tech journalist Kara Swisher, who criticized wealthy Californians seeking to leave the state and suggested “shock and awe” taxation. The hosts argue her comments exemplify the hostile mindset driving capital flight from high‑tax blue states like California, New York, and Illinois. They explain how federalism encourages competition between states and why Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are emerging as major economic and population winners due to lower taxes, reduced regulation, and improved quality of life.

The discussion broadens to business migration and wealth exodus trends, with examples including Elon Musk, David Sacks, Ken Griffin, and Oracle’s major expansion in Nashville. Clay and Buck argue that geography is no longer a limiting factor for innovation, contending that remote work and mobile capital have permanently weakened traditional dominance by Silicon Valley and Wall Street. Hour 2 emphasizes how excessive taxation and ineffective governance accelerate wealth flight and ultimately undermine state budgets dependent on high earners.

A major political segment in Hour 2 of the program examines the Democratic Party’s internal divisions ahead of the 2028 presidential primary cycle. Clay and Buck discuss reporting from the New York Times detailing Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s allegations that Kamala Harris’s team questioned him about loyalty to Israel during vice‑presidential vetting—raising concerns about antisemitism and ideological litmus tests within Democratic leadership. The hosts also analyze claims that Shapiro was passed over in favor of Tim Walz due to political pressure from progressive activist blocs.

The hosts continue by dissecting Kamala Harris’s political future, including her ongoing book tour, questions about her popularity with key Democratic voting blocs, and speculation surrounding which state the Democratic National Committee will select as the first primary contest in 2028. Clay notes that choosing heavily Black primary states such as South Carolina or Georgia would likely benefit Harris, potentially signaling party leadership’s attempt to clear her path to the nomination. Buck and Clay remain skeptical, citing Harris’s role in concealing President Biden’s cognitive decline and questioning her electability.


Later in Hour 2, attention returns to political wealth and influence, with a deeper look at Ilhan Omar’s financial disclosures and the role of spouses and associates in leveraging congressional access. The hosts compare Omar’s wealth trajectory to long‑standing concerns over political families profiting from public office, arguing that such cases reinforce public distrust in institutions and fuel populist backlash.

Hour 3 - Don Lemon's Lemons

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show continues the deep dive into the political fallout from the Minneapolis church protest, while expanding into law enforcement accountability, media activism, immigration enforcement, the national political climate, and Florida politics. Broadcasting on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton highlight new reactions from Democratic leaders and federal officials as the controversy gains national attention.

At the start of Hour 3, Clay and Buck note that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has now publicly condemned the disruption of a Southern Baptist church by anti‑ICE protesters—marking a significant shift after earlier silence. The hosts examine Walz’s statement distancing himself from protesters who stormed a place of worship and contrast it with comments from former CNN host Don Lemon, who attempted to justify the disruption by comparing it to civil rights‑era protests. Clay and Buck reject that comparison, arguing that the First Amendment does not permit trespassing or interruption of religious services and emphasizing that the backlash demonstrates how politically damaging the protest has become for Democrats.

New legal context surrounding the incident, with discussion of Assistant Attorney General Harmit Dhillon’s statement that federal charges are being pursued and that arrests may still follow. Clay and Buck analyze how Lemon’s shifting explanations—from advocating disruption to claiming journalistic immunity—undermine his credibility. They debate whether Lemon crossed from observer to participant and note reports suggesting Lemon could face legal exposure, while also acknowledging that such a controversy may inadvertently revive his media relevance.

The conversation broadens to media bias and activist journalism, including sharp criticism of CBS journalist Margaret Brennan during her exchange with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem regarding the injured ICE agent involved in the Minneapolis incident. Clay and Buck argue mainstream media continues to minimize violence against law enforcement and object to the detailed public disclosure of ICE agents’ personal information, warning it places officers and their families in danger amid rising anti‑ICE hostility.

A central moment in Hour 3 breaks down video footage showing ICE agents being obstructed while attempting to arrest a convicted child sex offender, with protesters actively interfering. Clay and Buck emphasize the moral and public safety stakes of immigration enforcement, arguing that preventing ICE operations endangers vulnerable communities and protecting criminals undermines the rule of law. Buck likens the tactics to the 2020 anti‑police movement, warning that the same outcomes—crime surges and reduced public safety—could follow.

Midway through Hour 3, the show shifts tone briefly with behind‑the‑scenes moments from the Miami broadcast location before transitioning to a major interview with Congressman Byron Donalds, widely viewed as the frontrunner in the race for Governor of Florida. Donalds discusses the College Football National Championship atmosphere in Miami, then outlines his policy priorities if elected, including maintaining law and order, continuing the DeSantis governance model, lowering insurance costs, expanding housing supply, cutting red tape, and reinforcing Florida’s conservative political culture. He also addresses population growth from high‑tax blue states, arguing Florida’s success is driven by economic freedom, efficiency, and common‑sense governance.

The final segment of Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show returns to national Democratic politics, including audience reactions to earlier discussion about Josh Shapiro, Kamala Harris, and the 2024 vice‑presidential selection process. Clay and Buck revisit arguments that antisemitism and political insecurity played a role in Harris’s decision‑making and criticize what they describe as a weak Democratic bench. The hour closes with additional comments from Don Lemon, who accuses critics of “white supremacy,” drawing further pushback from Clay and Buck as evidence of identity‑based deflection rather than accountability.

Hour 3 wraps with final thoughts on the Minneapolis unrest, national media credibility, immigration enforcement, and anticipation surrounding the national championship game attended by President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Florida political leaders—bringing the program to a close on a mix of breaking news, political analysis, and cultural commentary.
