Summary
<p>Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with a deep dive into the aftermath of a major White House meeting and President Trump’s efforts to broker peace between Ukraine and Russia. The hosts analyze Trump’s comments about arranging a face-to-face meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, his assurance that there will be no U.S. boots on the ground, and the debate over what a security guarantee for Ukraine might entail. They explore whether this could include air support from Poland or other NATO allies, and discuss Trump’s possible motivation to secure a Nobel Peace Prize, raising concerns about whether a rushed ceasefire could lead to future conflicts.</p> <p>The conversation then shifts to domestic issues, focusing on rising crime in Washington, D.C. and whether deploying more law enforcement and federal agents could dramatically reduce violent crime rates. Clay and Buck highlight the political stakes for Democrats if a surge in policing proves effective, noting that D.C.’s current murder rate mirrors New York City’s peak crime era in 1990. They argue that addressing crime is less about complexity and more about political will, warning that a successful crackdown could expose years of failed policies in Democrat-controlled cities.</p> <p>Listeners also get a lighter segment as the hosts react to a viral video of RFK Jr. working out in jeans and a belt, sparking a humorous debate about fitness habits and a viral challenge: 100 push-ups and 50 pull-ups in five minutes. Clay and Buck share their own workout routines, question whether middle-aged men can meet the challenge, and invite the audience to join in. This playful exchange underscores the show’s mix of serious analysis and cultural commentary.</p> <p>Additional highlights include the announcement of Clay’s upcoming debate with Stephen A. Smith on sports, politics, and culture in New York City on September 16, and a look ahead to the return of NFL and college football, including a marquee matchup in Ireland. The hour closes with a discussion on the PGA Tour returning to Trump golf courses, signaling a cultural shift in sports and politics.</p> <p>Never miss a moment from Buck by subscribing to the Buck Sexton Show Podcast on<a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/51-the-buck-sexton-show-27296753/"> IHeart Radio</a>,<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-buck-sexton-show/id1208232103"> Apple Podcasts</a> or wherever you get your podcasts! </p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Buck Sexton:<br />Facebook – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BuckSexton/"> / bucksexton</a> <br />X – <a href="https://x.com/BuckSexton"> @bucksexton <br /></a>Instagram – <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bucksexton/?hl=en">@bucksexton</a></p> <p>TikTok -<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@bucksexton"> @BuckSexton</a> </p> <p>YouTube -<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BuckSexton"> @BuckSexton</a> </p> <p>Website –<a href="https://www.bucksexton.com/"> https://www.bucksexton.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck" rel="payment">Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
