Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show features a wide-ranging and high-energy discussion that blends political insight, cultural commentary, and listener engagement. The hour opens with an in-depth interview with Utah Senator Mike Lee of Utah, who addresses the growing Senate confirmation backlog under President Trump. Lee criticizes the procedural delays that have stalled over 150 judicial and U.S. attorney nominations, attributing the obstruction to Senate Democrats and entrenched deep state bureaucrats. He calls for aggressive action, including exhausting the Senate into compliance and reconsidering the use of recess appointments, which have been blocked by pro forma sessions.
The conversation transitions to the controversial blue slip rule, a Senate tradition allowing home-state senators to block judicial nominees. Senator Lee argues that Democrats are abusing this custom and warns that continued obstruction could lead to the loss of their blue slip privileges. He also comments on the explosive revelations from FBI Director Kash Patel, who uncovered hidden documents related to the Trump-Russia collusion investigation. Lee describes this as potentially the most significant political scandal in U.S. history and stresses the need for transparency and accountability.
Breaking economic news is also covered, with the Federal Reserve opting not to cut interest rates despite internal dissent. The hosts analyze the implications for inflation, mortgage rates, and the broader Trump economy.
Later in the hour, the show pivots to cultural issues with guest Tommy Lahren. The hosts and Lahren dissect the media backlash to a new American Eagle ad featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. They argue that the outrage—led by what they describe as “liberal white women”—reflects a broader cultural war in which traditional beauty and normalcy are under attack. Lahren asserts that the left has lost the culture war and is now lashing out, while Clay and Buck highlight how younger Americans are rejecting woke ideology in favor of common sense, health, and attractiveness.
The segment also explores the intersection of masculinity and politics, with the hosts humorously suggesting a correlation between low testosterone levels and left-wing political views. They critique the rise of “male feminists” and argue that modern liberalism alienates average American men. The discussion includes a viral ESPN controversy and a Good Morning America segment that allegedly equated traditional beauty standards with coded extremism.
Listener interaction adds a personal touch, including a call from a fan vacationing in Colorado who shares how the show has replaced music in her daily routine. The hosts also preview upcoming college football games, including Georgia vs. Tennessee and Georgia vs. Alabama, and invite listeners to join them at these events.
