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.

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.

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.
