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.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Oct 3 2025

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay leading the Friday edition while Buck is returning from Taiwan after interviewing the President of Taiwan, a conversation set to air Monday. The hour dives into major breaking news and cultural commentary, starting with the ongoing government shutdown and its political implications. 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 hour opens with an exclusive interview with journalist Nick Sorter, who recounts his shocking arrest in Portland during violent Antifa-led protests outside an ICE facility.

Hour 2 - Nick Sorter Calls In

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show wraps up the week with a hard-hitting discussion on crime, politics, media trust, and cultural battles shaping America’s future. Clay opens the hour reflecting on family, fall break, and the importance of spending time with kids before diving into a major theme: the failure of progressive policies on law and order. He highlights shocking examples, including a Manchester, England terror attack committed by a man out on bail for rape, and a Seattle mayoral debate where the current mayor admitted he has “no desire to put criminals in jail,” even after multiple offenses. Clay argues that “toxic empathy” and soft-on-crime policies in cities like Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco have fueled chaos and eroded public safety.
 
The conversation shifts to demographic and cultural trends, citing data that 60.5% of babies born in 2025 are in Trump-voting states, underscoring optimism and family values in conservative America versus the left’s “apocalyptic” climate narrative that discourages having children. Clay frames this as a battle of good versus evil, stressing that optimism and strong families are essential to preserving freedom.
 
Clay then takes aim at media hypocrisy and political dishonesty, playing clips of Rep. Madeline Dean praising Joe Biden as “terrific” after his disastrous 2024 debate performance, only to later claim Donald Trump is in “cognitive decline.” He uses this to illustrate why Gallup reports trust in media has plunged to an all-time low of 28%, urging listeners to value truth over partisan spin.
 
The hour also touches on global security and Middle East tensions as the second anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attack approaches, with Clay reaffirming support for Israel and criticizing Hamas for rejecting peace plans. He then pivots to cultural influence and political strategy, previewing his upcoming book Balls, which argues conservatives must engage younger generations and fight cultural battles where they happen—on college campuses, in pop culture, and beyond. Clay emphasizes that winning hearts and minds requires bold messaging and outreach, not just “preaching to the choir.”
 
Listener calls add perspective on Portland’s decline, the need for federal intervention, and the broader cultural decay in left-run cities. Clay closes by sharing personal stories, discussing his media bans from CNN and ESPN, and reaffirming his mission to take arguments everywhere—from radio to TV to bookstores—to shape America’s future.

The Truth with Lisa Boothe: The Rise of Anti-Semitic Violence in America with Karol Markowicz

In this explosive episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson break down the latest U.S. government shutdown, which officially began at 12:01 AM. Cruz asserts that the shutdown was orchestrated by Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, as a political maneuver driven by pressure from the party’s far-left base, including figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC).
 
 • 

Cause of Shutdown:
 • 

 • 

Shutdown occurred after Congress failed to pass funding past September 30.
 • 
 • 

Cruz argues Democrats deliberately blocked a CR to appease their progressive base.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Senate Dynamics:
 • 

 • 

A CR passed the House but failed in the Senate, receiving 55 votes instead of the required 60.
 • 
 • 

Three Democrats (Fetterman, Cortez Masto, Angus King) voted with Republicans to keep government open.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Partisan Framing:
 • 

 • 

Democrats are motivated by hatred of Trump and internal party pressures.
 • 
 • 

Schumer is depicted as fearing a primary challenge from AOC and pandering to the left wing.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Policy Disputes:
 • 

 • 

Republicans claim Democrats demanded benefits such as free healthcare for undocumented immigrants and removal of work requirements for welfare.
 • 
 • 

The conversation suggests these were “unrealistic demands” meant only as political theater.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Impact of Shutdown:
 • 

 • 

Essential services (military, law enforcement, FAA) continue, but workers go unpaid temporarily.
 • 
 • 

Nonessential services like national parks and Smithsonian museums shut down.
 • 
 • 
 • 

Political Messaging:
 • 

 • 

Cruz and the host argue this is the “Schumer shutdown,” not a bipartisan failure.
 • 
 • 

They highlight Democrat statements from past years criticizing shutdown tactics, suggesting hypocrisy.
 • 
 WATCH WH Hakeem Jeffries VIDEO HERE • 
 • 

Strategic Angle:
 • 

 • 

The Trump administration is said to plan permanent layoffs (“reduction in force”) of federal bureaucrats during the shutdown, targeting those seen as left-leaning.
 • 
 • 

This is framed as a strategic opportunity to reshape the federal workforce.
 •

Bonus: Schumer Shutdown-The Chaos the Dems have Unleashed, and Why

Clay and Buck predict the Hunter Biden pardon back two and a half years ago! But the mainstream media never believed it. Because Joe Biden told so much of the mainstream media he wouldn’t pardon him. And if Judge Noriega hadn’t voided the sweetheart deal Hunter Biden was supposed to get the pardon never would have been needed.
