When Violence Is Virtue: Why Men Need The Warrior Ethos | Adam McLain | Ep. 64

Another government shutdown is being met by yawns, because we all know they’ll open it up eventually. Clay takes a deep dive into a very real issue that caused this shutdown: A fundamentally broken healthcare system.
 
Clay also breaks down the controversy over illegal immigrants receiving healthcare benefits in the Democrats’ continuing resolution. While Democrats claim federal funds aren’t directly paying for undocumented healthcare, Clay explains how federal dollars flow to states like California, New York, and Illinois, which then allocate funds for these services. He ties this to COVID-era spending that Democrats want to make permanent, warning that these embedded costs are fueling the shutdown fight.
 

How President Donald Trump was a turning point for the country and fueled Charlie Kirk’s ascension and saved the country. Why Clay is donating all of the proceeds from his new book “Balls: How Trump, Young Men, and Sports Saved America” to several charities, including Turning Point USA.

Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck - Oct 5 2025

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis flying solo while Buck Sexton travels in Taiwan. The hour centers around the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, its historical context, and the political motivations behind it. Clay argues that shutdowns are cyclical and often overblown, citing that since 1976, the federal government has shut down 20 times. He emphasizes that the current impasse stems from Democratic efforts to extend COVID-era healthcare subsidies, which Republicans argue should expire now that the pandemic is over.
 
A major segment of the hour is devoted to a deep critique of the American healthcare system, which Clay describes as inefficient, opaque, and anticapitalistic. He shares personal anecdotes to illustrate how insurance often leads to irrational pricing and decision-making, and how the system penalizes those who try to do the right thing. He calls for a complete overhaul of both the healthcare and tax systems, likening them to unstable buildings built on broken foundations.
 
Clay is then joined by Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee, who passionately discusses the need to ban Congressional stock trading, citing suspiciously well-timed trades by lawmakers like Nancy Pelosi. Burchett advocates for legislation that would restrict members of Congress to mutual funds and blind trusts, arguing that insider access is being abused. He also shares his personal hobby of building and selling skateboards, humorously noting the ethical hurdles he faces compared to the lack of oversight on stock trading.
The conversation shifts to political hypocrisy, particularly targeting Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for reversing his stance on shutdowns due to pressure from progressive challengers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Burchett speculates that Schumer’s actions are driven by fear of losing power, and criticizes the broader culture of entitlement and insider privilege in Washington.
 
Toward the end of the hour, Clay and Burchett engage in a light-hearted debate comparing bad decisions—Nico transferring to UCLA versus Kamala Harris selecting Tim Walz as VP—with Burchett humorously siding against Kamala’s pick. The segment closes with listener calls, including one from West Los Angeles lamenting UCLA’s football woes and coaching instability.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H1 - Congressional Stock Trading

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political commentary, cultural analysis, and personal insight. Clay Travis opens the hour by reflecting on the viral response to his interview with Congressman Tim Burchett and a Twitter poll comparing bad decisions—Nico transferring to UCLA versus Kamala Harris choosing Tim Walz as VP. He also celebrates the show’s surging YouTube engagement, attributing the growth to algorithmic shifts and increased visibility, while warning about the broader implications of AI bias and algorithmic control over public discourse.
 
Clay dives into the media landscape, contrasting the depth of radio and writing with the superficiality of television soundbites. He critiques the advertising industry's left-wing bias, noting the absence of major brands like car companies and restaurants from conservative platforms despite massive audience reach. This leads into a cultural discussion about American Eagle’s successful ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney, which sparked controversy but resulted in a surge in sales and customer growth. Clay defends the campaign, arguing that “sex sells” and praising American Eagle for resisting cancel culture.
 
The hour takes a deeper turn with a provocative analysis of violent crime statistics in America, sparked by a Don Lemon clip questioning white male violence. Clay challenges racial generalizations and presents data showing that black men commit nearly half of all murders, followed by Hispanic men, white men, and Asian men. He argues that Asian-American communities have the lowest violent crime rates, attributing this to strong nuclear families and a cultural emphasis on education. Clay calls for a national conversation on how to replicate these values across all racial groups to reduce crime and improve public safety.
 
He also shares a personal anecdote about parenting and cell phone safety, contrasting American norms with Taiwan’s low-crime culture, as observed by Buck Sexton during his travels. The hour closes with commentary on Vice President JD Vance’s remarks about the government shutdown, including viral memes targeting Hakeem Jeffries over healthcare for illegal immigrants.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H2 - Writing, Radio and TV

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful blend of political insight, cultural commentary, and grassroots activism. Clay Travis opens the hour with guest Tudor Dixon, host on the Clay and Buck Podcast Network and a prominent conservative voice in Michigan. Together, they discuss Michigan’s pivotal role as the top battleground state in upcoming elections, emphasizing the importance of supporting Senate candidate Mike Rogers and other Republican contenders to prevent radical Democrats from gaining national influence.
 
Tudor shares her experiences traveling across Michigan, highlighting the growing conservative momentum among Gen Z students, especially at liberal campuses like Northern Michigan University. She recounts how young conservatives are standing up to leftist professors and embracing traditional American values, including faith, family, and patriotism. The conversation also touches on the cultural impact of the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad campaign, which Tudor praises for promoting femininity and resonating with her daughters and other young women.
 
Clay and Tudor explore the broader cultural shift among young men and women toward faith-based education, Christian values, and balanced gender roles in relationships. They argue that this cultural realignment is key to reversing progressive narratives and restoring common sense in American society.
 
The hour also features commentary on the government shutdown, with Vice President JD Vance humorously addressing viral sombrero memes mocking House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for prioritizing healthcare for illegal immigrants. Clay explains how Democrats are attempting to convert temporary COVID-era spending into permanent entitlements, framing any rollback as a deadly “cut.”
Clay plays a clip from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who blames Democrats for the shutdown and urges support for President Trump’s efforts to reopen the government. He also shares a heartfelt talkback message from a listener in Utah who attended a Turning Point USA event, underscoring the emotional and patriotic energy surrounding Charlie Kirk’s legacy.
 
In a compelling segment, Clay critiques MSNBC’s hypocrisy for attacking Trump’s mental fitness while ignoring President Biden’s cognitive decline. He contrasts Trump’s transparency and stamina with Biden’s limited public appearances, calling out the media’s double standards. Clay plays a clip from his interview with Paul Finebaum, who shares his personal political evolution from liberal roots to conservative values. The discussion highlights how many Americans are waking up to the radical shift in the Democratic Party and reconsidering their political affiliations.
 
The hour ends with a call from a college professor defending conservative educators and urging parents to be proactive in the college selection process, followed by Clay’s reflection on the importance of culture in shaping politics, especially through sports and entertainment.

The Karol Markowicz Show: Jeffrey Tucker on “Spirits of America,” Digital Life, and Finding Meaning After the Pandemic

MABA: Make American Babies Again
 
Clay highlights the booming stock market, with the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 hitting record highs under President Trump’s economic policies, contrasting this success with prior predictions of economic collapse. The discussion shifts to crime reduction efforts in Memphis, where the Trump administration has partnered with local leaders to combat one of the nation’s highest murder rates—a story largely ignored by mainstream media. Clay also previews an upcoming interview with journalist Nick Sorter, who was arrested in Portland while covering Antifa protests outside an ICE facility, sparking a federal investigation.
 
A major theme of the hour is cultural and demographic trends, including a striking statistic: 60.5% of babies born in 2025 so far are in Trump-voting states. Clay argues this reflects optimism and family values in conservative America, contrasting it with what he calls the Democratic Party’s “dark, nihilistic” messaging that discourages having children. He warns that this worldview fuels political violence and long-term electoral challenges for Democrats as population growth accelerates in red states.
 
Mamdani's Rose is Wilted
 
The conversation then pivots to the economy, where Clay underscores strong GDP growth at 3.8% and low inflation under Trump, while acknowledging lingering frustration from Biden-era price hikes. He critiques socialist economic proposals, spotlighting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s plan for city-run grocery stores, calling it “Cuban-style madness.” Clay dissects Mamdani’s savvy cultural strategy, including a viral Bachelor-themed campaign ad that resonates with young voters, warning conservatives not to underestimate the power of pop culture in politics.
 
Nick Sortor Calls In
 
an exclusive interview with journalist Nick Sorter, who recounts his shocking arrest in Portland during violent Antifa-led protests outside an ICE facility. Sorter describes being assaulted while documenting the chaos, saving a burning American flag, and then being charged with disorderly conduct despite Antifa’s ongoing lawlessness. He reveals that Attorney General Pam Bondi personally called him, announcing a Department of Justice civil rights investigation into the Portland Police Bureau. Clay and Nick expose how Portland’s leadership and police culture have allowed five years of unchecked riots, fueling public demand for federal intervention and National Guard deployment.
 
The conversation escalates as White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addresses Sorter’s arrest live from the podium, condemning Portland’s failure to protect journalists and pledging to review federal aid to states that “allow anarchy.” Clay underscores how this crisis reflects a broader collapse of law and order in Democrat-run cities, warning that Portland’s inability to restore safety has even cost it opportunities like a Major League Baseball franchise—an example of how urban decay impacts economic growth and corporate investment.
 
Make Michigan Competitive Again 
 
Michigan politics with State Senator Aric Nesbitt, a Hillsdale College graduate and GOP candidate for governor. Nesbitt outlines why Michigan is a critical battleground for 2026 and 2028, citing Trump’s recent victory and growing Republican momentum. He blasts Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s COVID lockdowns, sharing a deeply personal story of being barred from comforting his wife during a miscarriage due to pandemic restrictions. Nesbitt vows to reverse Whitmer’s policies, restore parental rights, and fight progressive agendas like men competing in women’s sports and pronoun enforcement in schools. He frames Michigan as the “front line” in the battle to protect families, small businesses, and traditional values, pledging to make Michigan competitive again for jobs and education.
