Summary
<p>Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a high‑intensity blend of foreign‑policy analysis, Capitol Hill turmoil, national‑security warnings, and sharp commentary on America’s domestic crises. Clay and Buck open the hour by revisiting the political fallout from the Senator Markwayne Mullin vs. Senator Rand Paul feud, noting that Mullin is still expected to be confirmed as DHS Secretary despite their very public clash. The hosts stress that this isn’t mere political theater—the bad blood is personal, not procedural—and they reiterate their commitment to letting both senators voice their case on the show.</p> <p>From there, Hour 3 turns to major national‑security issues, beginning with Tulsi Gabbard’s testimony on Islamist extremism. Clay and Buck break down her warnings about the global spread of Islamist ideology, its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, and the continued threat of radicalization within Western nations. They emphasize Gabbard’s argument that Islamist groups have shifted toward information warfare and propaganda as traditional terror networks lose capability—highlighting this as one of the most significant and under‑discussed national‑security challenges facing the U.S.</p> <p>The hosts then revisit the Joe Kent resignation from NCTC, pushing back on online accusations claiming Kent was “controlled” by foreign influences. They highlight comments from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt describing Kent as patriotic but fundamentally wrong about the Iran strategy—and reinforcing that “no one tells President Trump what to do.” Clay and Buck frame this as an example of healthy disagreement rather than treason, while condemning conspiracy theories circulating online.</p> <p>From there, the conversation deepens into a sweeping foreign‑policy analysis of the Iran War, Israel’s precision leadership strikes, and shifting Middle East alliances. The hosts note how every major U.S. and Israeli adversary—Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iranian leadership, even the Ayatollah’s inner circle—has been decimated since October 7th. They argue that Israel’s aggressive leadership‑targeting strategy contrasts with the U.S. military’s focus on destroying Iranian infrastructure, creating tension between both countries’ endgames. Clay goes further, suggesting the region may ultimately become more stable than at any point in modern history if the Abraham Accords expand to include Saudi Arabia.</p> <p>The hour then pivots to domestic policy with a blistering examination of New York’s budget crisis, Kathy Hochul’s plea for rich New Yorkers to return, and the staggering revelation that New York City now spends $81,000 per homeless person per year. Clay and Buck break down how taxpayers are bankrolling bloated nonprofit bureaucracies, fraudulent social‑service programs, and a “homeless‑industrial complex” that consumes billions without improving conditions. They highlight parallel scandals in Minnesota and California, including fake autism‑therapy centers and fraudulent daycares, and argue that Democrats have no interest in reform because these systems function as patronage networks that recycle taxpayer money back into Democratic political power.</p> <p>The final segment brings listener calls reacting to the Kent resignation, the Mullin–Paul feud, and ideas ranging from reissuing a $500 bill with Donald Trump’s face to broader frustrations with runaway government waste. Clay and Buck close Hour 3 emphasizing Margaret Thatcher’s rule—“socialism works until you run out of other people’s money”—and warning that blue‑state mismanagement will continue driving Americans toward low‑tax states like Tennessee, Texas, and Florida.</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>
