    Verdict with Ted Cruz: Defending the Victims of Child Sex Abuse — Trey's Law Going National
    Mar 5 2026
    Defending the Victims of Child Sex Abuse: How Trey’s Law Is Going National In one of the most emotional and consequential episodes of Verdict with Ted Cruz to date, Senator Ted Cruz and co‑host Ben Ferguson sat down in Washington, D.C. with a courageous guest whose story is reshaping the national conversation about child protection. Elizabeth Phillips—sister of the late Trey Carlock, a survivor of years of sexual abuse at a well‑known summer camp—joined the show to discuss the growing bipartisan momentum behind Trey’s Law, newly introduced by Senator Cruz in the United States Senate. This episode wasn’t about politics, polls, or campaigns. It was about protecting children, amplifying the voices of survivors, and confronting a disturbing reality in America: child sexual abuse is widespread, chronically underreported, and too often covered up by powerful institutions using non‑disclosure agreements (NDAs) to silence victims. For parents, for survivors, and for anyone who cares about ensuring that abuse is never hidden in the shadows again, this is an episode—and a movement—you cannot ignore. The Epidemic: Child Sexual Abuse in America Senator Cruz opened with a chilling reality check: A child in the U.S. is sexually abused every nine minutes.1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be abused before the age of 18.Most victims will never disclose their abuse, or not until decades later. This phenomenon—known as delayed disclosure—is well‑documented. Children rarely come forward immediately. Many wait until adulthood. Some never speak out at all. Yet despite this, institutions facing civil litigation routinely push victims—sometimes still legally children—into signing NDAs that silence them for life. Those NDAs become powerful tools not for justice, but for cover‑ups, helping predators avoid exposure and enabling institutions to protect their reputations rather than the children in their care. As Senator Cruz put it, “We cannot always prevent the first victimization. But we can stop the second victimization—when institutions use NDAs to muzzle survivors.” Trey’s Story: Groomed, Abused, Silenced—And a Family’s Fight for Truth Elizabeth Phillips shared the heartbreaking story of her brother Trey, whose life was stolen long before he died. Beginning at age seven, Trey attended Kanakuk Camps in Missouri—a “faith‑based” youth camp trusted by families across the South and Midwest. Behind the façade, a camp director was grooming and abusing Trey and other children for years. The perpetrator was eventually sentenced to three consecutive life terms. But by then, decades of damage had been done. What Elizabeth and many other families would later learn is that Kanakuk staff and leadership had systematically concealed years of abuse—not reporting predators, not warning parents, and in many cases moving known abusers to other affiliated ministries. The more survivors came forward, the clearer the pattern became. Elizabeth’s investigation with other families revealed over 90 alleged perpetrators connected to the camp or its affiliated ministries. But the final blow came when Trey—under pressure from the camp, its lawyers, and even his own attorney—was convinced to sign a restrictive NDA as part of a civil settlement. The secrecy consumed him. He could not speak about what happened to him—not even in therapeutic settings—without fear of retaliation. At age 28, Trey died by suicide. His last words to a therapist still haunt Elizabeth: “They will always control me. I will never be free.” The Birth of Trey’s Law: Ending NDAs for Child Sex Abuse Victims Trey’s Law is simple but groundbreaking. It makes NDAs in cases of child sexual abuse: VoidUnenforceableIllegal to require in a civil settlement Importantly, victims retain the right to request an NDA if they want privacy. The bill protects survivors—not institutions, not predators. Texas and Missouri have already passed versions of Trey’s Law thanks to survivors like Elizabeth and advocates across the political spectrum. Now, Senator Cruz, along with bipartisan co‑sponsor Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and five additional senators, has introduced it federally. This is where the movement goes national. A Survivor’s Courage: Jaden’s Story Shakes the Room At the press conference announcing Trey’s Law, a 19‑year‑old named Jaden Harris shared her story publicly—for the very first time—protected by the Missouri version of Trey’s Law. Her testimony was nothing short of stunning. Jaden was sexually abused by a well‑known Branson entertainer who remains out in public today, performing around families and children. When she pursued civil action, both her abuser and her own lawyer tried to force her into a lifetime NDA. But because Trey’s Law existed in Missouri, she could not be legally silenced. Her words captured the entire purpose of the legislation: “Imagine being told you can never tell your ...

    Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Mar 5 2026
    Mar 5 2026
    Conflict Accelerates Tech Clay Travis and Buck Sexton discuss the geopolitical consequences of the ongoing conflict. They examine the paralysis of international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, rising global oil prices, and how extended military engagement could impact U.S. domestic politics—especially with Democrats preparing to tie gas‑price volatility to Trump’s foreign‑policy strategy ahead of the 2026 midterms. They also discuss the administration’s unprecedented stance that President Trump intends to influence the selection of Iran’s next leader following the assassination of the Ayatollah, raising questions about regime change, constitutional monarchy possibilities, and whether Iran’s military factions might accept a U.S.-favored successor. The hosts then explore historical parallels, comparing modern drone‑ and intelligence-driven warfare to conflicts such as the Gulf War and the 2003 Iraq invasion, suggesting that advances in technology have made “boots on the ground” less essential. This leads to a broader conversation about whether internal Iranian opposition could rise up without military backing and why genuine regime change is impossible unless parts of Iran’s armed forces defect. Trump's Texas Tactics Clay and Buck analyze the fallout from the Texas primary and the growing expectation that President Trump will endorse a candidate in the Texas Senate race. They emphasize how critical the Texas seat is to preserving the GOP’s narrow Senate majority and outline the broader 2026 Senate landscape—highlighting difficult Republican battles in Maine and North Carolina, as well as opportunities in Georgia. The hosts examine how a Trump endorsement, whether for John Cornyn or Ken Paxton, signals a deliberate effort to maintain Senate control ahead of potential Supreme Court vacancies. A major portion of the hour is devoted to the explosive controversy surrounding Democratic candidate James Talarico, whose far‑left ideological positions, past tweets, and public comments have become a focal point of criticism. Clay and Buck dissect his rhetoric comparing himself to biblical figures, his claims about “white skin” being a societal contagion, and his promotion of Dr. Fauci memorabilia—framing Talarico as a deeply out‑of‑touch progressive misaligned with Texas voters. They compare him to figures like Jasmine Crockett and Beto O’Rourke, arguing that Democrats continue to misjudge which candidates appeal to mainstream Texans. They also break down the Republican strategic calculus, suggesting that Trump may back Cornyn to avoid draining resources needed for more competitive races across the country. Kristi Noem is Fired President Trump has fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, marking the first removal of a cabinet secretary in this administration. Clay and Buck react in real time as Fox News reports the termination and the appointment of Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma as the new acting head of the Department of Homeland Security. They recount the scandals that contributed to Noem’s downfall—including reports of inappropriate spending, allegations about personal relationships, and a controversial $200 million DHS ad campaign featuring her—describing widespread bipartisan dissatisfaction after her congressional hearing. The hosts speculate on what the leadership change means for border security, immigration policy, and future DHS operations. Nerding Out with Ryan Political data analyst Ryan Girdusky, host of It’s a Numbers Game, to break down the dramatic firing of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who was removed just minutes before stepping onstage at an event in Nashville. The hosts analyze President Trump’s official announcement elevating Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma to DHS Secretary, noting that Noem’s reassignment to “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas” signals a clear demotion. The hour digs into the controversies that precipitated her removal—especially the explosive $200 million DHS ad campaign featuring Noem, allegations that she misled Congress, and her attempt to shift blame to President Trump. Girdusky adds further context about long‑simmering internal frustrations over Noem’s self‑promotion, image‑driven leadership style, and political alliances, all of which contributed to her rapid downfall. The conversation then pivots to the 2026 Senate landscape, with a heavy focus on the Texas Senate race. Girdusky breaks down why the Trump team appears intent on securing Texas early, explaining that Republicans must lock down states like Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Alaska, and Montana to maintain Senate control. He critiques Ken Paxton’s underwhelming primary performance and praises John Cornyn’s unexpectedly strong showing, attributing it to disciplined campaigning. The hosts revisit the Democratic nominee James Talarico, highlighting the avalanche of far‑left statements and viral clips that portray him as deeply out of step ...

    Hour 1 - Conflict Accelerates Tech
    Mar 5 2026
    Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers an in‑depth analysis of the escalating U.S.‑Iran conflict, global security concerns, and evolving Middle East geopolitics under President Donald Trump. Clay and Buck open the hour with the latest battlefield updates on the U.S.–Israel joint air campaign against Iran, focusing on the destruction of Iranian “missile cities,” underground bunkers, and mobile missile launchers. They highlight President Trump’s confident assessment of the conflict and his assertion that the U.S. is dramatically degrading Iran’s offensive capabilities. A major portion of Hour 1 centers on the geopolitical consequences of the ongoing conflict. Clay and Buck examine the paralysis of international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, rising global oil prices, and how extended military engagement could impact U.S. domestic politics—especially with Democrats preparing to tie gas‑price volatility to Trump’s foreign‑policy strategy ahead of the 2026 midterms. They also discuss the administration’s unprecedented stance that President Trump intends to influence the selection of Iran’s next leader following the assassination of the Ayatollah, raising questions about regime change, constitutional monarchy possibilities, and whether Iran’s military factions might accept a U.S.-favored successor. The hosts then explore historical parallels, comparing modern drone‑ and intelligence-driven warfare to conflicts such as the Gulf War and the 2003 Iraq invasion, suggesting that advances in technology have made “boots on the ground” less essential. This leads to a broader conversation about whether internal Iranian opposition could rise up without military backing and why genuine regime change is impossible unless parts of Iran’s armed forces defect. The hour also touches on U.S.–Israel relations, antisemitism across the region, and the risks associated with Israel potentially deploying ground forces into Iran. Clay and Buck discuss the strategic role of the Kurds, lessons from Afghanistan, and the logistical reality of attempting to “midwife a coup” inside Iran. A significant segment features an interview with Yael Eckstein, President of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, speaking live from Israel. She describes the war as a battle between good and evil, emphasizes how October 7 transformed Israeli security priorities, and shares personal insights—including her daughter serving on the Gaza border in the IDF. Eckstein discusses Israel’s vision of victory, the spiritual and emotional toll on Israeli families, and the strengthening of alliances through the Abraham Accords, including hopes for future normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The hour concludes with listener calls and strategic discussion about the feasibility of arming Iranian dissidents, challenges of overthrowing entrenched regimes, and how Iran’s internal power structure—half a million armed personnel plus Basij militias—makes civilian uprisings unrealistic without military cooperation. Clay and Buck close Hour 1 by forecasting how the Iran crisis could shape global politics, U.S. elections, and stability across the Middle East while also previewing upcoming coverage on the Texas Senate race and ongoing scrutiny of candidate James Talarico.
