In this episode, Peter Schweizer joins Lisa to break down the explosive arguments in his book The Invisible Coup, exposing how immigration has been transformed into a strategic political weapon by American elites and foreign actors.

Schweizer explains why immigration is not just a policy debate—but a long-term power play shaping elections, culture, and governance. He dives into the role of foreign governments, activist NGOs, and educational institutions in influencing public perception and policy, and why these forces have been so effective at operating behind the scenes.

This conversation pulls back the curtain on how “weaponized immigration” works, why it matters for America’s future, and what citizens must understand to push back against coordinated influence campaigns.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How immigration became a tool for political and demographic power

• The foreign interests shaping U.S. immigration debates

• The role of NGOs and education in influencing public opinion

• Why The Invisible Coup argues this strategy is deliberate—not accidental

• What awareness and action look like moving forward

A Shattered Narrative

C&B focus on new and damaging video evidence involving Alex Pretti, an anti‑ICE activist whose death during a confrontation with federal agents sparked nationwide controversy. Clay and Buck argue that the newly surfaced footage—showing Pretti screaming obscenities at ICE officers, spitting on them, and vandalizing a government vehicle days before the fatal incident—fundamentally undermines the media narrative portraying him as an innocent bystander or heroic humanitarian.

The hosts sharply criticize CNN, MSNow, and other mainstream outlets for what they characterize as myth‑making and emotional manipulation around the Preti case. They replay and dissect commentary from CNN’s Ana Navarro and contrast it with the video evidence, arguing that left‑leaning media outlets deliberately ignored or minimized Preti’s earlier violent behavior. Clay and Buck emphasize that while the shooting itself must still be investigated, the broader context shows a pattern of escalating confrontational conduct that should have resulted in arrest well before the fatal encounter. The hosts repeatedly use the term “toxic empathy” to describe policies and political rhetoric that, in their view, excuse criminal behavior and embolden further escalation rather than protecting public safety.

Pretti Parrallels

The conversation shifts into accountability, false accusations, and legal consequences, as Clay and Buck draw parallels between the Preti situation and past high‑profile cases like the Duke lacrosse scandal. They argue for stronger legal penalties for knowingly false accusations, asserting that reputational destruction and “process as punishment” should carry consequences for proven lies. The hour also touches on the growing challenge of AI‑related disinformation, with Buck noting that even verified videos are now dismissed as “fake” when they contradict preferred narratives.

Tom Homan in Minnesota 

Clay and Buck break down border czar Tom Homan’s press conference in Minneapolis. Clay and Buck play multiple clips from Homan and praise his calm, data‑driven approach, highlighting his confirmation that Minnesota authorities will now notify ICE when violent criminal offenders are being released from custody so federal agents can assume responsibility. The hosts frame this as a strategic win that prioritizes public safety while making enforcement operations more targeted and less dangerous. They emphasize Homan’s repeated message that while criminals remain the top priority, no one who entered the country illegally is “off the table” for deportation, warning that signaling immunity for non‑violent illegal migrants would only encourage further unlawful entry.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton argue that Homan should remain the primary public face and operational leader of deportation efforts, crediting his decades of experience and ability to clearly explain enforcement realities while exposing what they describe as obstruction from sanctuary‑style jurisdictions. The hosts contrast cooperation in states like Texas with resistance in Minnesota and sharply criticize Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for advocating the abolition of ICE. Clay challenges Democratic leaders to articulate a specific numerical limit on illegal immigration, arguing that calls to halt enforcement ignore basic questions of capacity, sovereignty, and rule of law.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton analyzing a major press conference led by ICE border czar Tom Homan in Minneapolis, which the hosts praise as disciplined, early‑morning messaging designed to set the national news agenda. They also note President Donald Trump’s live and unusually transparent cabinet meeting, highlighting what they describe as an administration willing to engage directly with the media and public. Much of Hour 1 centers on new and damaging video evidence involving Alex Pretti, an anti‑ICE activist whose death during a confrontation with federal agents sparked nationwide controversy. Clay and Buck argue that the newly surfaced footage—showing Pretti screaming obscenities at ICE officers, spitting on them, and vandalizing a government vehicle days before the fatal incident—fundamentally undermines the media narrative portraying him as an innocent bystander or heroic humanitarian.

Throughout Hour 1, the hosts sharply criticize CNN, MSNow, and other mainstream outlets for what they characterize as myth‑making and emotional manipulation around the Preti case. They replay and dissect commentary from CNN’s Ana Navarro and contrast it with the video evidence, arguing that left‑leaning media outlets deliberately ignored or minimized Preti’s earlier violent behavior. Clay and Buck emphasize that while the shooting itself must still be investigated, the broader context shows a pattern of escalating confrontational conduct that should have resulted in arrest well before the fatal encounter. The hosts repeatedly use the term “toxic empathy” to describe policies and political rhetoric that, in their view, excuse criminal behavior and embolden further escalation rather than protecting public safety.

Immigration enforcement and the rule of law remain the dominant themes in Hour 1, with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton warning that failure to prosecute anti‑ICE protesters in cities like Minneapolis incentivizes increasingly aggressive behavior toward federal officers. They argue that Democratic leadership and activist media have encouraged a climate in which confrontation with law enforcement is framed as moral heroism. The discussion widens into a broader critique of selective enforcement, with the hosts comparing leniency toward anti‑ICE activists with the aggressive prosecution of January 6 defendants, whom they say were punished for far less confrontational conduct.

Later in Hour 1, the conversation shifts into accountability, false accusations, and legal consequences, as Clay and Buck draw parallels between the Preti situation and past high‑profile cases like the Duke lacrosse scandal. They argue for stronger legal penalties for knowingly false accusations, asserting that reputational destruction and “process as punishment” should carry consequences for proven lies. The hour also touches on the growing challenge of AI‑related disinformation, with Buck noting that even verified videos are now dismissed as “fake” when they contradict preferred narratives.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with discussion of a potential government shutdown looming in Washington, as Clay Travis and Buck Sexton note the recurring nature of shutdown threats and preview ongoing activity on Capitol Hill. The hour quickly pivots back to the Minneapolis ICE controversy, with continued analysis of Tom Homan’s strong public leadership and messaging on immigration enforcement. A major portion of Hour 2 is devoted to listener calls and deeper reflection on false accusations, media hysteria, and identity‑driven narratives, beginning with a powerful firsthand account from a former Durham, North Carolina law enforcement officer who was present during the unraveling of the Duke lacrosse case. Clay and Buck frame the Duke case as a foundational moment for modern identity politics, media malpractice, and institutional cowardice, criticizing Duke University, prosecutors, and national media outlets for abandoning evidence in favor of racial and political narratives.

Throughout Hour 2, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton repeatedly draw parallels between the Duke lacrosse scandal and the current media portrayal of Alex Preti, arguing that both cases reflect a pattern of myth‑making, presumption of guilt, and moral panic when stories fit a preferred ideological script. They emphasize how contradictory evidence—such as alibis, video footage, or witness testimony—is often ignored until narratives collapse, at which point institutions quietly move on without accountability. The hosts also argue that social media has fundamentally changed this dynamic, crediting Elon Musk’s acquisition of X (formerly Twitter) and the rise of alternative AI tools like Grok for weakening centralized information control and allowing inconvenient facts to surface more quickly.

Media criticism intensifies during Hour 2 as Clay and Buck dissect comments from MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, who claimed the Preti shooting would be viewed as a defining historical moment. The hosts reject this outright, arguing that once video evidence showing Preti’s aggressive behavior toward ICE agents emerged, the story rapidly disappeared from CNN, MSNBC, and network news. They contend this selective attention mirrors how legacy media abandons stories that undermine political goals, reinforcing public distrust. Listener calls from around the country—and even internationally—add perspectives on mental health, radicalization, and accountability, with several callers suggesting Preti showed clear signs of instability that were ignored or excused by activist culture.

The latter half of Hour 2 blends cultural commentary and lighter banter with ongoing political themes. Clay and Buck react in real time to being retweeted by Elon Musk, discussing the influence of X, AI, and tech consolidation on the future of information and public discourse. They also touch on breaking reports that SpaceX and xAI may be moving toward deeper integration, framing it as a potential seismic shift in technology, media, and artificial intelligence. Interwoven throughout are humorous segments involving listener feedback, grooming debates, beards versus mustaches, generational humor, and pop‑culture references, which serve as comic relief without fully leaving the broader discussion of cultural polarization and public perception.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show ultimately reinforces the program’s central themes: skepticism of media narratives, the dangers of identity‑driven justice, the importance of evidence over emotion, and the growing role of decentralized platforms in challenging legacy power structures. The hour closes with previews of upcoming coverage, including further developments related to immigration enforcement, protest activity, and a South Carolina case the hosts say is being largely ignored by mainstream outlets.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show begins with major show news as Clay Travis and Buck Sexton announce the program’s upcoming expansion to SiriusXM, confirming that starting February 9 the show will air weekdays on SiriusXM Channel 123. The hosts emphasize that this marks a significant milestone for the five‑year‑old program and is designed to better serve truck drivers, travelers, and listeners in areas with weaker terrestrial radio signals, while maintaining all existing affiliate stations, podcast access, and digital platforms. They also preview plans to roll out full three‑hour video coverage in the coming months, underscoring the show’s continued growth across radio, podcasting, and online video.

The focus of Hour 3 then shifts decisively to immigration enforcement and national security, led by extensive analysis of ICE border czar Tom Homan’s press conference in Minneapolis. Clay and Buck play multiple clips from Homan and praise his calm, data‑driven approach, highlighting his confirmation that Minnesota authorities will now notify ICE when violent criminal offenders are being released from custody so federal agents can assume responsibility. The hosts frame this as a strategic win that prioritizes public safety while making enforcement operations more targeted and less dangerous. They emphasize Homan’s repeated message that while criminals remain the top priority, no one who entered the country illegally is “off the table” for deportation, warning that signaling immunity for non‑violent illegal migrants would only encourage further unlawful entry.

Throughout Hour 3, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton argue that Homan should remain the primary public face and operational leader of deportation efforts, crediting his decades of experience and ability to clearly explain enforcement realities while exposing what they describe as obstruction from sanctuary‑style jurisdictions. The hosts contrast cooperation in states like Texas with resistance in Minnesota and sharply criticize Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for advocating the abolition of ICE. Clay challenges Democratic leaders to articulate a specific numerical limit on illegal immigration, arguing that calls to halt enforcement ignore basic questions of capacity, sovereignty, and rule of law.

A substantial portion of Hour 3 features an in‑depth interview with investigative journalist and bestselling author Peter Schweizer, discussing his new book Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon. Schweitzer outlines his argument that mass migration has been deliberately weaponized by both domestic political actors and foreign governments, including Mexico and China, to influence U.S. politics and weaken national sovereignty. He describes networks of foreign consulates, NGOs, progressive organizations, and cartel‑linked entities that, he claims, coordinate around open‑border policies, anti‑ICE activism, and long‑term electoral advantages tied to census counts and naturalization. The discussion also covers claims of birthright citizenship exploitation, cartel involvement in human smuggling, and the political incentives driving mass migration, with Schweitzer warning that these dynamics would likely return under future Democratic administrations.

The hour closes with lighter but still news‑driven segments, including humorous reactions to President Trump’s candid remarks during a cabinet meeting—where he joked about getting bored—and his off‑the‑cuff commentary on weight‑loss drugs. Clay and Buck also share listener emails and banter about pop culture, grooming, and movie opinions, offering comic relief while maintaining the broader political themes of media narratives, leadership style, and cultural credibility.
