Hour 1 - CDC 86's Covid Vax

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis solo-hosting as Buck Sexton recovers from the flu. Clay reflects on Memorial Day, honoring the sacrifices of American service members, and shares highlights from his visit to the Indy 500, emphasizing the strong presence of Clay and Buck listeners. The hour dives into major political and cultural topics, starting with breaking news: the CDC has officially removed the COVID-19 vaccine from its recommended immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women. Clay highlights this as a significant reversal of previous federal health mandates and criticizes the Biden administration and legacy media for their role in promoting what he calls “COVID shot propaganda.” He underscores the personal and professional consequences many Americans faced for refusing the vaccine, including job loss and social ostracization. Clay also revisits a 2022 Rasmussen poll showing that a majority of Democrats supported punitive measures against the unvaccinated, including fines, quarantine camps, and even child removal. He uses this data to argue that the public was misled and manipulated during the pandemic, and that the media is now attempting to “memory-hole” their role in the misinformation. The conversation shifts to President Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical decline, with Clay reacting to CNN’s Jake Tapper calling the media’s cover-up of Biden’s health “worse than Watergate.” Clay criticizes mainstream outlets like The Washington Post and The New York Times for failing to report on Biden’s condition, accusing them of prioritizing political loyalty and pharmaceutical advertising dollars over journalistic integrity. Clay draws parallels between legacy media and sports fan message boards, arguing that outlets like CNN and MSNBC now serve as echo chambers for partisan subscribers rather than objective news sources. He calls for congressional hearings into the Biden administration’s alleged cover-up and urges accountability for those who enabled it. The hour concludes with listener calls supporting Clay’s stance and calling for further investigation into the administration’s failure to invoke the 25th Amendment. Clay teases an upcoming interview with women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines in Hour 2, where they’ll discuss Donald Trump’s comments on transgender athletes and California’s controversial policies.
