Government Shutdown ENDING! We Explain When & How - Verdict with Ted Cruz

Clay's New Studio! Clay debuts his new studio, complete with a treadmill that he'll be walking on during the show to try stay in shape. He jokes that he might have to change his background though because it resembles a penis. Clay and Buck argue that the shutdown was a strategic move by Democrats to sow chaos and emotional unrest ahead of the elections but ultimately backfired. The hosts emphasize that the disruption to air travel—delayed flights, unpaid air traffic controllers, and public frustration—was a tipping point that forced Democrats to retreat. President Donald Trump’s response to the shutdown is spotlighted, including his call for bonuses for air traffic controllers who continued working and criticism of those who took time off. The show frames this as a leadership moment, contrasting Trump’s decisive stance with what they describe as Democrat disarray. Clay and Buck also dive into the internal conflict within the Democratic Party, noting that eight Democrat senators broke ranks, leading to what they call a “civil war” within the party. Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders are both criticized, with Sanders accused of using emotional manipulation and class warfare rhetoric to rally support. The show mocks the Democrats’ messaging around “Trumpism” and their failure to deliver tangible results from the shutdown. Most Hated Industry in America Clay and Buck argue that the Affordable Care Act has led to skyrocketing premiums, reduced quality of care, and a broken system that benefits insurance companies more than patients. The discussion includes commentary on SNAP benefits, obesity-related healthcare costs, and the lack of price transparency in medical services. The hosts call for market-driven reforms and accuse Democrats of subsidizing the most hated industry in America—health insurance. Healthcare Realities A major segment focuses on healthcare policy and the future of Obamacare, with in-depth criticism of how Democrats have handled healthcare reform. The hosts argue that the Affordable Care Act has empowered insurance companies and failed to deliver meaningful improvements, potentially setting the stage for a push toward a single-payer system. A retired healthcare executive calls in to offer a free-market solution, emphasizing the need to reduce government control and restore physician autonomy. In a cultural pivot, the show covers President Trump’s surprise appearance at an NFL game, where he flew over in Air Force One and joined the Fox Sports broadcast booth. Trump’s commentary on football, his high school playing days, and interactions with players like Drew Brees are discussed as emblematic of his growing cultural acceptance. The hosts highlight how athletes, including the Detroit Lions, celebrated Trump with the now-viral “Trump dance,” signaling a shift in how young men and sports figures view the president. Leftwing Bitchiness Reflections on the end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, with Clay and Buck criticizing Democrats for what they describe as a performative and damaging political stunt. The hosts argue that the shutdown achieved little beyond public frustration and economic disruption. The conversation shifts to pop culture as Kim Kardashian’s repeated attempts to pass the California bar exam are discussed. While acknowledging her billionaire status, the hosts commend her persistence and ambition, contrasting it with what they perceive as a lack of humility and gratitude from former First Lady Michelle Obama. A significant portion of the hour is dedicated to a critical examination of Michelle Obama’s public statements, her Princeton thesis, and her perceived victimhood narrative. The hosts argue that the Obama family received unprecedented media grace and support, especially compared to other presidential families, including the Bushes, Clintons, and the current First Family under President Donald Trump.

Hour 1 - Most Hated Industry in America

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the political, cultural, and economic headlines shaping America under the leadership of President Donald Trump. This hour opens with a major update on the end of the historic 40-day government shutdown, highlighting bipartisan Senate action and the political fallout for Democratic leadership, particularly Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. The hosts analyze how the shutdown, intended to challenge President Trump, ultimately backfired—strengthening his position and exposing fractures within the Democratic Party. The conversation shifts to the 2025 air travel crisis, with thousands of flight cancellations and delays nationwide, which added pressure to resolve the shutdown. The hosts also explore the broader implications of the shutdown on public perception, especially as it relates to Trump’s growing influence and the internal Democratic divide between establishment figures like Schumer and progressive challengers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. A major segment focuses on healthcare policy and the future of Obamacare, with in-depth criticism of how Democrats have handled healthcare reform. The hosts argue that the Affordable Care Act has empowered insurance companies and failed to deliver meaningful improvements, potentially setting the stage for a push toward a single-payer system. A retired healthcare executive calls in to offer a free-market solution, emphasizing the need to reduce government control and restore physician autonomy. In a cultural pivot, the show covers President Trump’s surprise appearance at an NFL game, where he flew over in Air Force One and joined the Fox Sports broadcast booth. Trump’s commentary on football, his high school playing days, and interactions with players like Drew Brees are discussed as emblematic of his growing cultural acceptance. The hosts highlight how athletes, including the Detroit Lions, celebrated Trump with the now-viral “Trump dance,” signaling a shift in how young men and sports figures view the president. This hour also explores the long-term cultural impact of Trump’s presidency, particularly among Gen Z males who have grown up with Trump as a dominant figure. The hosts compare Trump’s cultural imprint to that of Ronald Reagan, suggesting that Trumpism may define a generation’s political identity. Additional topics include: The political vulnerability of Senator John Ossoff in Georgia. The strategic missteps of Democrats in swing states. The media’s double standard in covering Trump’s public appearances. The legacy of Trump’s White House renovations, including the controversial ballroom project.

Hour 2 - Trump's Next Career in Sports?

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into a wide range of cultural and political topics, offering bold commentary and sharp analysis. The hour opens with reflections on the end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, with Clay and Buck criticizing Democrats for what they describe as a performative and damaging political stunt. The hosts argue that the shutdown achieved little beyond public frustration and economic disruption.

Clay and Buck highlight the biological advantages of male athletes who identify as female and criticize what they see as the erosion of fairness in competitive sports. They reference high-profile cases like Lia Thomas and discuss broader implications for the integrity of women’s athletics, praising President Trump’s position on protecting women’s sports categories. Listeners also hear about Clay’s new book Balls, which blends autobiography with cultural critique, particularly focusing on the politicization of sports and the decline of meritocracy.

Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck - Nov 9 2025

In Hour 1, Clay and Buck break down the major political headlines following a pivotal election night. The discussion opens with Zohran Mamdani’s historic win in New York City, where he captured just over 50% of the vote in one of the city’s highest-turnout elections in decades. The hosts analyze why Mamdani’s campaign resonated, citing his energy, entertainment factor, and ability to mobilize younger voters and recent arrivals to the city. They highlight demographic trends, including Mamdani’s overwhelming support among Black voters and strong backing from millennials, Hispanics, and Asians.
 
The conversation then shifts to Democratic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, emphasizing the GOP’s turnout problem. Clay points out that 600,000 Trump voters stayed home in these states compared to the 2024 presidential election, raising alarms for 2026 and 2028. Buck underscores that while these were tough races in blue-leaning states, Republicans must address enthusiasm gaps when Trump isn’t on the ballot.
 
Economic concerns dominate the analysis, with both hosts stressing that inflation, cost of living, and healthcare remain the top issues for voters nationwide. They argue that Democrats successfully framed the election around cultural and class warfare, while Republicans need sharper messaging on kitchen-table economics. The hour also dives into immigration and cultural shifts in urban politics, warning that rapid demographic changes and lack of assimilation are reshaping cities like New York. Clay and Buck compare today’s dynamics to early 20th-century socialist movements and call for a national conversation on immigration policy.
 
Listeners weigh in with calls from Houston, Charleston, and Staten Island, sharing reactions and relocation plans to red states like Florida and Texas. The hosts note a surge in interest for real estate in these states following the election results. Gender voting patterns also come under scrutiny, with women identified as a decisive factor in Democratic wins.
 
Finally, Clay and Buck reflect on Trump’s surprise endorsement of Andrew Cuomo, the future of the MAGA movement, and whether Mamdani’s tenure will disappoint progressive voters. They predict that despite campaign promises, New York City’s new mayor will likely triple down on redistribution and regulation, worsening economic challenges.
