Summary
<p>Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a sweeping, news‑heavy rundown of breaking developments in national security, politics, terrorism, and global instability. The hour opens with Clay updating listeners on the dramatic overnight collapse of oil prices—from a spike at $120 per barrel to roughly $95—calming fears of a sustained economic shock tied to escalating tensions with Iran. With the stock market settling nearly flat, the focus quickly shifts to unfolding details surrounding the ISIS‑inspired attempted terror attack outside Gracie Mansion in New York City. Clay and Buck play new comments from NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirming that federal charges have been filed against two American citizens—Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, accused of attempting to provide material support to ISIS, transporting explosive materials, and deploying IEDs loaded with shrapnel. Body‑camera footage reportedly captured the suspects pledging allegiance to ISIS and expressing a desire to commit an attack “bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing.”</p> <p>The hosts emphasize the disturbing pattern of ideological radicalization and the dangers of mislabeling the event—highlighting how early coverage, including remarks from New York City politicians, inaccurately framed the protest as a “white supremacist rally” rather than acknowledging the jihadist motive of the attackers. Buck, drawing on his counterterrorism experience in the NYPD, explains how ISIS historically encouraged “remote‑control” terror operations, and outlines how Iran’s Quds Force may attempt to inspire extremist violence in the U.S. as the conflict intensifies abroad.</p> <p>The hour’s major guest, Congressman Chip Roy, joins the program to discuss his runoff campaign for Texas Attorney General, arguing that the role is essential for defending state sovereignty and national stability. He details his background as a former federal prosecutor and first assistant attorney general, contrasting it with that of his self‑funded opponent. Roy also provides an insider’s perspective on the SAVE Act, election integrity, the mechanics of a real talking filibuster, and how Senate norms have weakened accountability. He urges Republican leadership to force Democrats into a sustained talking filibuster, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” style, to expose their unwillingness to enact voter‑ID protections.</p> <p>Chip Roy then pivots to national security, advising President Trump—who is set to speak later in the day—to “stay the course” on Iran. He predicts the administration will continue conventional strikes on Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure while avoiding long‑term ground involvement. Roy argues that America’s robust domestic energy supply and fracking capacity give the U.S. strategic leverage, while China absorbs the economic pain of rising oil prices. He also breaks down the DHS funding crisis, explaining how Democratic obstruction has caused severe TSA staffing shortages and massive airport delays—some airports warning travelers to arrive five hours early.</p> <p>The hosts return to the terror investigation, replaying newly released audio, analyzing media mischaracterizations, and discussing how the attempted attack underscores a need for heightened vigilance during the Iran conflict. Clay flagging the still‑unexplained mass shooting in Austin, noting the shooter’s apparent pro‑Iranian messaging. Breaking international news: the reported elevation of Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Iran’s Supreme Leader, who is allegedly severely wounded and possibly unaware of his own succession. Clay and Buck discuss instability within the Iranian regime, the IRGC’s internal power structure, and how U.S. and Israeli drone capabilities—such as the precision “flying Ginsu” strike weapon—give Western forces a historic battlefield advantage.</p> <p>As the hour winds down, the hosts lighten the mood by reacting to listener talk‑backs about Tesla self‑driving technology, electric‑vehicle longevity, and a humorous debate over firearms—specifically Buck’s playful mockery of the classic 1911 pistol. The hour closes with personal anecdotes about parenting, vehicle choices, and family travel, before Clay and Buck sign off on what they call a major “news‑centric Monday.”</p> <p>Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! <a href="http://ihr.fm/3InlkL8">ihr.fm/3InlkL8</a></p> <p> </p> <p>For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.clayandbuck.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249239931219%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=eECesiWyOO3YOybB4HVSIOqFBQ6FQ83xp%2FJ%2FhPDAKfM%3D&reserved=0">https://www.clayandbuck.com/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton: </p> <p>X - <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fclayandbuck&data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249239960597%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=WdpyZ8Gzbhog1ml43mVvOghWqLGt0rZcdfa%2FPC3pkYY%3D&reserved=0">https://x.com/clayandbuck</a></p> <p>FB - <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FClayandBuck%2F&data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249239980082%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Nqqk%2FXJNrFqQd%2BUdWMs5Xw7DxzwpMExmpDda7Y9fNNY%3D&reserved=0">https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/</a></p> <p>IG - <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fclayandbuck%2F&data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249239998376%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=s%2F3CGsjjib9Gu8mBlf5ff31%2Fixq4YP17xzT17hhpJCc%3D&reserved=0">https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/</a></p> <p>YouTube - <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fc%2Fclayandbuck&data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249240017198%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=hoGZ3pur0U5mQzw7AMhVbUTvt98j6iiA3uSdRyW8ilE%3D&reserved=0">https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck</a></p> <p>Rumble - <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frumble.com%2Fc%2FClayandBuck&data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249240034483%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=b2TrFHYPxraFqTGFla%2BJ7HG5kQ5p006bXVNPXSsFvAw%3D&reserved=0">https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck</a></p> <p>TikTok - <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck">https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck</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>
