    Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Feb 09 2026
    Feb 9 2026
    Very Bad Bunny The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with a spirited breakdown of the latest Super Bowl, where the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots in what both hosts describe as one of the most boring Super Bowls in memory. Clay shares observations from his 81 year old father, echoing the sentiment that the game, commercials, and halftime show all lacked excitement. Buck admits this was the only NFL game he watched all season — and announces he may retire from watching future Super Bowls altogether. A major portion of Hour 1 is dedicated to the Bad Bunny (aka Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) halftime show controversy. Clay and Buck slam the NFL’s decision to feature a performance delivered largely in Spanish, arguing that the signature American cultural event should be performed in English for its overwhelmingly English speaking audience. They criticize NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, the league’s relationship with Roc Nation and Jay Z, and what they describe as the NFL’s fear driven cultural decision making. While acknowledging the impressive staging and production, they argue the musical content was inappropriate, overly political, and unrelatable for viewers. This sparks a wider discussion about politicization in entertainment, the shrinking number of shared cultural moments in America, and the decline in quality of Super Bowl commercials. The hosts also highlight the feel good sports story of the night: quarterback Sam Darnold’s redemption arc, tracing his career from being written off as a bust to becoming a Super Bowl champion. Clay notes a unique Americana tidbit — Darnold’s grandfather was the original Marlboro Man — adding to the narrative of his improbable rise. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum Interview with Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, who outlines the Trump administration’s expansive “drill baby drill” energy agenda and its mission to achieve full American energy dominance. Burgum highlights an aggressive increase in federal drilling permits, major declines in energy costs, expanded LNG exports that have displaced Russian gas in Europe, and the creation of the National Energy Dominance Council. The discussion moves deeper into national security as Burgum explains the administration’s new critical minerals strategy—framed as a response to China’s near total control of global mineral refining—and the launch of a large strategic investment initiative designed to secure more than 60 essential minerals needed for electronics, vehicles, and defense applications. He emphasizes that cheaper, more abundant American energy drives economic growth across all sectors and strengthens U.S. leverage abroad while preparing the country for the AI energy race with China. The hour ends with a lighter moment as the hosts celebrate North Dakota State University’s rise in college football and its move to the Mountain West Conference. Nancy Guthrie Update Updates on the nationwide attention surrounding the Nancy Guthrie ransom deadline before shifting into a broader conversation on cultural flashpoints, beginning with the long running Bud Light boycott. Clay and Buck revisit how the brand collapsed in the aftermath of its partnership with a trans influencer and examine Budweiser’s sudden pivot back to patriotic Super Bowl advertising—complete with Clydesdales and bald eagles—in what the hosts view as a desperate attempt to reconnect with middle America consumers. Callers weigh in, praising the pro America imagery and criticizing the broader decline of memorable Super Bowl commercials. A Gen Z's Perspective Daily Caller reporter Ashley Brasfield joins the show to discuss the SAVE Act and the fight over voter ID laws. The hosts examine why Senate Republicans have not forced Democrats into a public filibuster on voter ID—especially given data showing widespread Democratic voter support for identification requirements. They explore whether Democrats in Trump won states might break ranks and why election integrity is becoming a defining issue ahead of the 2026 midterms. Brasfield notes that a talking filibuster could apply political pressure while buying Republicans time to build broader legislative support. The hour closes with a discussion of politics entering the sports world, especially during the Winter Olympics. Clay highlights how, for decades, journalists never asked athletes about their political opinions under Democratic administrations—yet sports media now routinely asks Olympic competitors political questions only when Trump is president. This leads to a broader exploration of how athletes can be manipulated into serving as mouthpieces for predetermined narratives. Brasfield, a former Division I athlete, discusses her experience with media training during the COVID era, the climate around activism and compliance, and the pressures college athletes faced during the Black Lives Matter movement.

    Hour 1 - The NFL is Run by Cowards
    Feb 9 2026
    Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with a spirited breakdown of the latest Super Bowl, where the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots in what both hosts describe as one of the most boring Super Bowls in memory. Clay shares observations from his 81 year old father, echoing the sentiment that the game, commercials, and halftime show all lacked excitement. Buck admits this was the only NFL game he watched all season — and announces he may retire from watching future Super Bowls altogether. A major portion of Hour 1 is dedicated to the Bad Bunny (aka Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) halftime show controversy. Clay and Buck slam the NFL’s decision to feature a performance delivered largely in Spanish, arguing that the signature American cultural event should be performed in English for its overwhelmingly English speaking audience. They criticize NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, the league’s relationship with Roc Nation and Jay Z, and what they describe as the NFL’s fear driven cultural decision making. While acknowledging the impressive staging and production, they argue the musical content was inappropriate, overly political, and unrelatable for viewers. This sparks a wider discussion about politicization in entertainment, the shrinking number of shared cultural moments in America, and the decline in quality of Super Bowl commercials. The hosts also highlight the feel good sports story of the night: quarterback Sam Darnold’s redemption arc, tracing his career from being written off as a bust to becoming a Super Bowl champion. Clay notes a unique Americana tidbit — Darnold’s grandfather was the original Marlboro Man — adding to the narrative of his improbable rise. From there, Hour 1 transitions into major national news. Clay and Buck analyze President Donald Trump’s record breaking stock market, including Trump’s own prediction that the Dow Jones could hit 100,000 by the end of his term. They discuss how tariffs and Trump’s economic agenda are driving growth, framing the moment as an economic resurgence benefiting everyday Americans. This leads into a conversation about long term investing, S&P 500 index funds, compounded returns, and why so many Americans miss out on generational wealth opportunities. The hour closes with an update on two major ongoing stories: Nancy Guthrie Missing Person Case Clay and Buck discuss the unusual and still unfolding case, noting the family's public video messages and the ransom related deadline approaching later in the evening. They emphasize how strange and opaque the situation remains. Jeffrey Epstein File Releases The hosts also examine new revelations from congressional access to previously unredacted Epstein documents. They argue that while the material exposes embarrassing associations among wealthy and powerful men, it does not — at least so far — reveal clear criminal activity by individuals beyond Epstein and Maxwell. They examine Epstein’s social strategies, his pursuit of influence among older affluent men, and his financial operations tied to private equity access and connections to figures such as the founder of Victoria’s Secret. Throughout Hour 1, Clay and Buck blend humor, cultural criticism, and political commentary, portraying the Super Bowl as a disappointing cultural event while spotlighting what they see as the far more compelling drama of American politics and the strong national trajectory under President Trump.

  • Hour 2 - Interior Secretary Doug Burgum

    Hour 2 - Interior Secretary Doug Burgum
    Feb 9 2026
    Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a wide ranging mix of breaking news analysis, national security insight, political commentary, and cultural debate, all framed within the ongoing priorities of President Donald Trump’s administration. The hour opens with a deep dive into the strong U.S. economic numbers, including 4% GDP growth, with National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett discussing how productivity gains, tightened immigration enforcement, and changing labor force dynamics are influencing job creation and long term stability. The biggest developing story of the hour is the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, which Clay and Buck unpack in detail—from surveillance camera failures to cell tower forensics, ransom demands made in cryptocurrency, and why the circumstances increasingly suggest a highly pre planned, possibly inside job abduction. They also play and analyze Savannah Guthrie’s emotional video appeals, discussing both the human impact and the strange inconsistencies surrounding the case. The hosts shift to listener reaction and cultural commentary, including a caller’s take on the Super Bowl halftime show and why the NFL missed an opportunity to highlight the 250th anniversary of the United States, prompting a larger discussion about Roger Goodell’s leadership and the league’s creative direction. Clay and Buck also dive into a humorous debate over modern music genres—from reggaeton to R&B—tying it back to the halftime performance featuring Bad Bunny. The centerpiece of Hour 2 is a substantive interview with Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, who outlines the Trump administration’s expansive “drill baby drill” energy agenda and its mission to achieve full American energy dominance. Burgum highlights an aggressive increase in federal drilling permits, major declines in energy costs, expanded LNG exports that have displaced Russian gas in Europe, and the creation of the National Energy Dominance Council. The discussion moves deeper into national security as Burgum explains the administration’s new critical minerals strategy—framed as a response to China’s near total control of global mineral refining—and the launch of a large strategic investment initiative designed to secure more than 60 essential minerals needed for electronics, vehicles, and defense applications.

I love these guys, I listen a few times a week, However, I have to manually do a search every time because audible will not let me follow this particular podcast for some reason. I follow others, but curiously, I can't follow a nice conservative one? I'm sure it has nothing to do with Amazon's political agenda or leanings. I'm sure it's an honest to God glitch.

Watch out for leftist Audible

provides interesting insight and commentary on the news of the day from a non-left wing perspective. One a really smart guy, the other kind of a doofus, but they're funny together. I'll let you figure out who's who.
