    Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Feb 2 2026
    Feb 2 2026
    MO Senator Eric Schmitt Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt talks with Clay Travis about the federal funding standoff, DHS appropriations, and immigration enforcement, with particular emphasis on sanctuary cities and the challenges ICE faces due to non-cooperation from local governments. Senator Schmitt argues that sanctuary policies undermine federal law, public safety, and national sovereignty, while encouraging confrontations between activists and law enforcement. Another key topic is census policy and congressional apportionment. Clay and Senator Schmitt discuss the impact of counting illegal immigrants in the U.S. Census, arguing that it distorts congressional representation and federal funding allocation. They frame this issue as central to long-term political power dynamics and electoral outcomes, asserting that it disproportionately benefits Democrats and undermines citizen-based representation. The conversation then shifts to college sports, where Clay and Senator Schmitt analyze the chaos surrounding NIL rules, athlete transfers, and the weakened authority of the NCAA. Schmitt outlines a potential federal role in restoring structure through governance standards, antitrust protections, and collective media rights negotiations—drawing comparisons to the NFL, NBA, and MLB. They discuss proposed legislative solutions, including updates to the Sports Broadcasting Act, aimed at stabilizing college athletics while protecting non-revenue and Olympic sports. Behind the Curtain Clay delivers a detailed explanation of how the media economy shifted from advertising‑based revenue to subscription‑driven business models, fundamentally changing newsroom incentives. He argues that publications like The New York Times and The Washington Post no longer chase broad audiences or objective reporting, but instead cater to narrow, like‑minded subscriber bases that want their political beliefs reinforced. According to Clay, this model incentivizes slanted stories, selective coverage, and the blurring of news and opinion, which he claims is why certain false or inflammatory celebrity statements receive wide coverage while later clarifications or apologies are buried or ignored. Freespoke Internet Todd Ricketts, co‑owner of the Chicago Cubs and co‑founder of Freespoke, an alternative search engine and AI‑driven news platform designed to combat Big Tech bias and algorithmic censorship. Ricketts discusses his concern that companies like Google suppress disfavored viewpoints through search results and AI tools, citing institutional and cultural bias within Silicon Valley. He explains Freespoke’s mission to present multiple perspectives side‑by‑side, allowing users to evaluate competing narratives and form their own conclusions without algorithmic manipulation. Clay and Ricketts also explore the rise of AI search assistants, the decline of traditional search engines, and how embedded political assumptions inside large language models could wield even greater influence over public opinion than search ever did. Ricketts outlines Free Spoke’s effort to build a “just the facts” AI assistant that prioritizes transparency and ideological balance while avoiding echo chambers.The conversation widens to include the societal effects of algorithm‑driven social media, misinformation, and ideological reinforcement across age groups. Ricketts argues that AI‑powered platforms intensify polarization by feeding users only content that confirms existing beliefs, eroding shared reality and increasing distrust between neighbors and communities. Clay agrees, emphasizing the loss of serendipity in modern information consumption compared to traditional print media. The discussion turns to sports and Major League Baseball, with Clay asking Ricketts about the Chicago Cubs, rising player contracts, competitive balance, and whether MLB will move toward salary caps similar to other professional leagues. Ricketts expresses confidence in baseball’s long‑term stability while acknowledging the pressures caused by runaway spending from big‑market teams. Red vs. Blue Clay opens the final hour of the program by announcing major audience growth news, including the show’s debut on SiriusXM’s Triumph Channel and upcoming daily video streaming expansion, before pivoting into what he describes as some of the most positive national data seen in decades. A key focus in Hour 3 is new crime and public safety statistics, which Clay highlights as evidence that effective governance and immigration enforcement are producing tangible results. He details dramatic declines in crime, particularly in Washington, D.C., including steep reductions in homicides, robberies, burglaries, vehicle thefts, and overall violent crime. Clay connects these improvements to aggressive enforcement policies and ICE deportations targeting violent criminals, arguing that secure borders and law‑and‑order policies are directly contributing to safer ...

    Hour 1 - Idiot Celebrities
    Feb 2 2026
    Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with Clay Travis broadcasting solo from California, with Buck Sexton away visiting Kennedy Space Center ahead of upcoming Artemis moon missions. Clay sets the stage for the week, previews upcoming guests, and transitions quickly into a wide-ranging cultural and political analysis centered on the 2026 Grammy Awards, immigration enforcement, and the growing politicization of entertainment and media. This first hour focuses heavily on how pop culture, Hollywood elites, and legacy media intersect with left-wing political activism, particularly around ICE, immigration, and “stolen land” rhetoric. A major portion of Hour 1 is dedicated to reactions from the Grammy Awards, where Clay critiques celebrities using acceptance speeches and hosting duties to push political narratives. He focuses on Billie Eilish’s statement that “no one is illegal on stolen land,” questioning the logic and consistency of land acknowledgment culture and arguing that wealthy celebrities do not act on the beliefs they publicly espouse. Clay extends this critique to universities, Hollywood figures, and elite institutions that adopt symbolic land acknowledgments while retaining ownership and wealth. Clay also sharply criticizes Grammy host Trevor Noah, arguing that his political jokes—particularly those targeting President Donald Trump—reflect a lack of originality and reinforce Hollywood’s ideological bubble. The discussion expands to the NFL and Super Bowl halftime entertainment, with Clay questioning why leagues that thrive when focused on sports continue to align themselves with performers who deliver anti-American or anti-border enforcement messages. In contrast, Clay highlights country artist Jelly Roll as a rare positive example, praising his faith-based Grammy remarks and his refusal to opine on immigration or ICE, which Clay frames as refreshing honesty from an entertainer acknowledging his lack of political expertise. The hour then pivots into serious policy discussion with an in-depth interview featuring Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt. This segment covers the federal funding standoff, DHS appropriations, and immigration enforcement, with particular emphasis on sanctuary cities and the challenges ICE faces due to non-cooperation from local governments. Senator Schmitt argues that sanctuary policies undermine federal law, public safety, and national sovereignty, while encouraging confrontations between activists and law enforcement. Another key topic in Hour 1 is census policy and congressional apportionment. Clay and Senator Schmitt discuss the impact of counting illegal immigrants in the U.S. Census, arguing that it distorts congressional representation and federal funding allocation. They frame this issue as central to long-term political power dynamics and electoral outcomes, asserting that it disproportionately benefits Democrats and undermines citizen-based representation.

Schmitt outlines a potential federal role in restoring structure through governance standards, antitrust protections, and collective media rights negotiations—drawing comparisons to the NFL, NBA, and MLB. They discuss proposed legislative solutions, including updates to the Sports Broadcasting Act, aimed at stabilizing college athletics while protecting non-revenue and Olympic sports. As Hour 1 concludes, Clay returns to the media theme, dissecting how narratives are manufactured by journalists using celebrity commentary to drive political stories. He revisits the Jelly Roll red carpet moment to illustrate how reporters frame leading questions to advance ideological agendas, setting up a deeper media analysis to continue in Hour 2.

  • Hour 2 - Behind the Curtain with Clay

    Hour 2 - Behind the Curtain with Clay
    Feb 2 2026
    Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show features an in‑depth breakdown of how modern media narratives are manufactured, with Clay Travis explaining why journalism, pop culture, and technology have increasingly merged opinion with news. Broadcasting from Los Angeles, Clay opens the second hour by reinforcing the size and influence of conservative audiences in traditionally blue states like California, citing election data to highlight how many voters remain “behind enemy lines.” He then pivots back to the Grammy Awards controversy, using a Rolling Stone reporter’s politically loaded question to Jelly Roll as a real‑time case study in how media outlets manipulate celebrity commentary to advance ideological narratives—particularly on immigration enforcement and ICE. Throughout Hour 2, Clay delivers a detailed explanation of how the media economy shifted from advertising‑based revenue to subscription‑driven business models, fundamentally changing newsroom incentives. He argues that publications like The New York Times and The Washington Post no longer chase broad audiences or objective reporting, but instead cater to narrow, like‑minded subscriber bases that want their political beliefs reinforced. According to Clay, this model incentivizes slanted stories, selective coverage, and the blurring of news and opinion, which he claims is why certain false or inflammatory celebrity statements receive wide coverage while later clarifications or apologies are buried or ignored. A major theme in Hour 2 is the role of journalists asking intentionally biased questions to elicit politically useful soundbites from celebrities, athletes, and entertainers. Clay contrasts Steve Kerr’s public apology for inaccurate statements about ICE enforcement with NBA coach Doc Rivers’ refusal to walk back extreme rhetoric, highlighting how mainstream media amplified Rivers while largely ignoring Kerr’s correction. Clay praises OutKick reporters for holding public figures accountable, arguing this approach represents what real journalism should look like in a polarized media landscape. The hour’s centerpiece interview features Todd Ricketts, co‑owner of the Chicago Cubs and co‑founder of Free Spoke, an alternative search engine and AI‑driven news platform designed to combat Big Tech bias and algorithmic censorship. Ricketts discusses his concern that companies like Google suppress disfavored viewpoints through search results and AI tools, citing institutional and cultural bias within Silicon Valley. He explains Free Spoke’s mission to present multiple perspectives side‑by‑side, allowing users to evaluate competing narratives and form their own conclusions without algorithmic manipulation. Clay and Ricketts also explore the rise of AI search assistants, the decline of traditional search engines, and how embedded political assumptions inside large language models could wield even greater influence over public opinion than search ever did. Ricketts outlines Free Spoke’s effort to build a “just the facts” AI assistant that prioritizes transparency and ideological balance while avoiding echo chambers. The conversation widens to include the societal effects of algorithm‑driven social media, misinformation, and ideological reinforcement across age groups. Ricketts argues that AI‑powered platforms intensify polarization by feeding users only content that confirms existing beliefs, eroding shared reality and increasing distrust between neighbors and communities. Clay agrees, emphasizing the loss of serendipity in modern information consumption compared to traditional print media. Later in Hour 2, the discussion turns to sports and Major League Baseball, with Clay asking Ricketts about the Chicago Cubs, rising player contracts, competitive balance, and whether MLB will move toward salary caps similar to other professional leagues. Ricketts expresses confidence in baseball’s long‑term stability while acknowledging the pressures caused by runaway spending from big‑market teams. The hour concludes with a broader cultural analysis of subscription‑based media, comparing political journalism to team‑specific sports coverage that avoids telling fans uncomfortable truths. Clay argues this dynamic explains why legacy media outlets no longer break damaging stories about Democratic politicians and why ideological reinforcement has replaced accountability. He also notes the announcement of Turning Point USA’s alternative “All‑American Halftime Show,” positioning it as a direct response to politicized Super Bowl entertainment.

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.
