  • Verdict with Ted Cruz: Iran Revolution-Why this is Different...Trump is not Obama

    Verdict with Ted Cruz: Iran Revolution-Why this is Different...Trump is not Obama
    Jan 20 2026
    Iran’s Uprising: Why Trump’s Bold Stance Could Reshape Global Freedom The latest episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz dives into one of the most consequential geopolitical moments in decades. Millions of Iranians are risking everything to overthrow the Ayatollah and the radical Islamist regime that has oppressed their nation for nearly fifty years. Senator Ted Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson unpack why this uprising matters, how President Trump’s decisive leadership contrasts sharply with Barack Obama’s weakness, and what this means for America’s national security and global stability. Trump’s Historic Call for Regime Change For the first time in his presidency, Donald Trump has explicitly called for a new government in Iran. His statement that “the Ayatollah needs to go” is a bold departure from previous administrations. Unlike the Iraq War era, Trump’s approach to regime change does not involve sending hundreds of thousands of American troops into harm’s way. Instead, it relies on empowering the Iranian people, applying economic pressure, and leveraging military deterrence when necessary. Trump’s message is clear: America stands with the protesters. He has warned the Iranian regime that massacring demonstrators will bring “real consequences,” strongly implying military action without committing to a ground war. This carrot-and-stick strategy is a masterclass in deterrence—showing strength without unnecessary entanglement. Why This Moment Is Different Senator Cruz argues that we are witnessing a geopolitical shift as significant as the fall of the Berlin Wall. Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba—three of the most anti-American regimes—are all teetering on the brink of collapse. If these regimes fall and free elections follow, the global balance of power could change dramatically, ushering in an era of pro-market, pro-freedom governments that choose friendship with America over hostility. Unlike past uprisings, this movement in Iran is fueled by economic collapse. Hyperinflation has driven the Iranian rial to over one million to the dollar, forcing the Tehran Bazaar to shut down because merchants were losing money on every transaction. Add to this widespread strikes in the energy sector and reported military defections, and the regime’s grip on power looks increasingly fragile. Obama’s Failure vs. Trump’s Strength The podcast draws a stark contrast between Trump’s decisive leadership and Obama’s passivity during the 2009 Green Movement. While Iranians pleaded for Obama’s support—chanting “Obama, be with us”—he issued bland, bureaucratic statements and prioritized appeasing the mullahs over standing with freedom fighters. Obama’s administration even sent billions to Iran, strengthening a regime that chants “Death to America.” Trump, by contrast, has taken audacious steps to weaken Iran’s power structure. From eliminating Qassem Soleimani, the second most powerful man in Iran, to supporting covert operations and leveraging economic sanctions, Trump has shown that American strength can deter aggression and empower oppressed peoples without endless wars. Energy Independence: A National Security Weapon Another critical theme from the episode is how Trump’s energy policies have crippled America’s adversaries. By driving oil prices down to around $60–$70 per barrel, Trump has weakened petro-tyrants like Iran, Russia, and Venezuela while keeping U.S. gas prices affordable for families. This balance ensures that America remains energy independent without devastating small domestic producers—a strategic approach that Biden and Obama never mastered. Energy independence isn’t just an economic policy; it’s a national security imperative. When dictators lose oil revenue, they lose the ability to fund terrorism, pay off enforcers, and suppress their people. Trump understands this, and it’s paying dividends on the global stage. The Road Ahead: What’s Next for Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba? As Cruz notes, the coming months could bring seismic changes. In Iran, the regime faces pressure from both the streets and the IRGC, which controls 40% of the economy and may turn on the Ayatollah to preserve its own power. In Venezuela, Maduro’s arrest has shattered the corrupt oil-for-cash pipeline that once propped up Cuba, leaving Havana’s communist regime in freefall. If Mexico stops sending oil to Cuba—a move Trump is reportedly pushing—the dominoes could fall even faster. The stakes couldn’t be higher. A world where Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba embrace freedom would be a world safer for America and stronger for liberty. Key Takeaways Trump’s leadership matters: His bold stance on Iran contrasts sharply with Obama’s weakness.Energy independence is security: Lower oil prices weaken tyrants without harming U.S. producers.Freedom is contagious: Regime change in Iran could spark a wave of democratic reforms across the globe.

  • Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jan 20 2026

    Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jan 20 2026
    Jan 20 2026
    Going After Greenland Reaction to the College Football National Championship, where Indiana defeated Miami in a game Clay Travis and Buck Sexton attended in person alongside President Donald Trump. The hosts describe the atmosphere as overwhelmingly pro‑Indiana despite Miami hosting, highlight Trump’s appearance during the national anthem, and reflect on what they characterize as a renewed sense of public patriotism at major American sporting events. A deep dive into President Trump’s escalating push to acquire Greenland, which Clay and Buck frame as one of the most consequential and unexpected foreign‑policy stories of the moment. They analyze Trump’s comments asserting that Denmark cannot adequately defend the territory, his insistence that the U.S. “has to have it” for national security reasons, and prediction‑market odds placing roughly a 50‑50 chance on American control of at least part of Greenland in the near future. The hosts connect the potential acquisition to U.S. military strategy, Arctic dominance, rare‑earth minerals, long‑term resource access, and historical precedents like the Louisiana Purchase and the Alaska deal. Exploring the U.S. military presence at Greenland’s Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base) and NATO reactions, including symbolic European military drills. Clay and Buck argue these gestures have not deterred Trump, who has elevated Greenland as a headline issue ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos. They discuss Trump’s negotiating style—starting with seemingly outrageous positions to force concessions—and speculate on territorial status, sovereignty questions, and whether Greenland’s small population could eventually vote to become a U.S. territory under existing American territorial law. Trump 2.0 An evaluation of President Donald Trump’s first year in his second term, marking the one‑year anniversary of Trump’s return to office and the official start of Trump 2.0 Year Two. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton frame this hour as a turning point—from executing the campaign agenda to actively selling Trump’s record ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which the hosts describe as the final national referendum on Trump’s presidency. Clay outlines eight major accomplishments of Trump’s second term so far, led by the most secure southern border in U.S. history, followed by record‑high stock prices, strong GDP growth, declining inflation despite tariffs, historic murder declines, collapsing fentanyl overdose deaths, falling mortgage rates, and four‑year‑low gas prices. Clay and Buck argue these metrics reflect decisive leadership and policy execution, even as they acknowledge lingering economic frustration among voters due to residual inflation from prior administrations. Listener polls and talkbacks show overwhelming support from Trump voters, with most grading the president’s first year an “A.” Oppression Narratives A major cultural segment in Hour 2 examines what Clay and Buck describe as modern left‑wing victimhood narratives, sparked by comments made on The View by actress Pam Grier claiming she witnessed lynchings as a child in Ohio. The hosts dissect historical data showing the claim is impossible given Grier’s birth year and Ohio’s documented history. They argue the story reflects a broader media failure to challenge false narratives that reinforce ideological grievance politics, highlighting how such claims go unchallenged on mainstream television. This discussion expands into a deeper breakdown of historical lynching data, including distinctions between frontier justice, mob violence, and formal definitions used by organizations like the NAACP. Buck emphasizes that lynching history is often misrepresented for political impact, while Clay argues objective reality and historical context must matter in public discourse. Why Greenland Matters A detailed discussion of Greenland and geopolitics, which Clay and Buck describe as one of the most important foreign‑policy themes emerging ahead of Davos. They respond to statements from European leaders, including the European Commission and Danish officials, rejecting any U.S. claim to Greenland. Clay and Buck outline Trump’s strategic rationale, focusing on Arctic security, resource access, emerging shipping lanes, and historical precedents such as the U.S. purchase of Alaska and the U.S. Virgin Islands from Denmark. They argue Trump envisions a negotiated, voluntary territorial arrangement rather than military action, potentially involving direct payments and a referendum among Greenland’s population.

  • Hour 1 - Biden’s Economic Hangover

    Hour 1 - Biden’s Economic Hangover
    Jan 20 2026
    Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with reaction to the College Football National Championship, where Indiana defeated Miami in a game Clay Travis and Buck Sexton attended in person alongside President Donald Trump. The hosts describe the atmosphere as overwhelmingly pro‑Indiana despite Miami hosting, highlight Trump’s appearance during the national anthem, and reflect on what they characterize as a renewed sense of public patriotism at major American sporting events. The bulk of Hour 1 is devoted to a deep dive into President Trump’s escalating push to acquire Greenland, which Clay and Buck frame as one of the most consequential and unexpected foreign‑policy stories of the moment. They analyze Trump’s comments asserting that Denmark cannot adequately defend the territory, his insistence that the U.S. “has to have it” for national security reasons, and prediction‑market odds placing roughly a 50‑50 chance on American control of at least part of Greenland in the near future. The hosts connect the potential acquisition to U.S. military strategy, Arctic dominance, rare‑earth minerals, long‑term resource access, and historical precedents like the Louisiana Purchase and the Alaska deal. Hour 1 also explores the U.S. military presence at Greenland’s Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base) and NATO reactions, including symbolic European military drills. Clay and Buck argue these gestures have not deterred Trump, who has elevated Greenland as a headline issue ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos. They discuss Trump’s negotiating style—starting with seemingly outrageous positions to force concessions—and speculate on territorial status, sovereignty questions, and whether Greenland’s small population could eventually vote to become a U.S. territory under existing American territorial law. The conversation expands to Davos and global politics, with commentary on European leaders, NATO, and California Governor Gavin Newsom’s aggressive anti‑Trump rhetoric at the summit. Clay and Buck mock Newsom’s posture, portray him as positioning himself for the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, and describe intra‑Democratic competition over who will emerge as Trump’s most visible opponent on the world stage. They also note Trump’s strategy to dominate media attention at Davos by centering the conversation on U.S. strength and economic performance. In the second half of Hour 1 of the program, the hosts mark the one‑year anniversary of President Trump’s inauguration, assessing achievements during his first year back in office. They credit Trump with fully securing the U.S. southern border, sharply reducing illegal crossings, cutting fentanyl deaths, lowering gas prices, boosting stock markets, reducing inflation, and driving strong GDP growth. Clay and Buck acknowledge lingering public frustration with high prices but attribute economic pain to what they call the “Biden hangover,” arguing that the data increasingly supports Trump’s economic case even if sentiment lags reality. Hour 1 concludes with a forward‑looking discussion on technology, artificial intelligence, and economic growth, including automation, AI‑driven healthcare, robotics, self‑driving vehicles, and productivity gains as the only realistic path to balancing the budget long‑term. Clay and Buck discuss Elon Musk’s projections for AI, healthcare delivery, autonomous driving, and GDP growth, arguing that transformative technological advances could dramatically lower costs, increase efficiency, and reshape daily life within the next decade. The hour ends with anticipation of an upcoming White House press briefing featuring President Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, previewing more breaking news as Trump prepares to head to Davos and continue shaping the global narrative.

    Hour 2 - Trump 2.0
    Jan 20 2026
    Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show centers on a full evaluation of President Donald Trump’s first year in his second term, marking the one‑year anniversary of Trump’s return to office and the official start of Trump 2.0 Year Two. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton frame this hour as a turning point—from executing the campaign agenda to actively selling Trump’s record ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which the hosts describe as the final national referendum on Trump’s presidency. The hour opens with a detailed breakdown of what Clay outlines as eight major accomplishments of Trump’s second term so far, led by the most secure southern border in U.S. history, followed by record‑high stock prices, strong GDP growth, declining inflation despite tariffs, historic murder declines, collapsing fentanyl overdose deaths, falling mortgage rates, and four‑year‑low gas prices. Clay and Buck argue these metrics reflect decisive leadership and policy execution, even as they acknowledge lingering economic frustration among voters due to residual inflation from prior administrations. Listener polls and talkbacks show overwhelming support from Trump voters, with most grading the president’s first year an “A.” A significant portion of Hour 2 focuses on organizational discipline within the Trump administration, with both hosts emphasizing the stark contrast between Trump’s first term staff turbulence and the cohesion of his second‑term leadership team. They credit figures such as Susie Wiles, Stephen Miller, James Blair, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for executing policy with consistency and clarity. Buck notes the absence of earlier frustrations with staff sabotage and media distractions, arguing the administration is now operating with experience and unity. The hosts also identify what they call the single largest unforced error of Trump’s first year: mishandling the Epstein files rollout by Attorney General Pam Bondi. Both Clay and Buck criticize the communication strategy surrounding the issue, argue the release has been unnecessarily delayed, and stress that public accountability remains unfinished business, even as they maintain overall confidence in the administration’s leadership. Hour 2 of the program then shifts to economic and legal policy, with discussion of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s defense of Trump’s tariff authority and ongoing Supreme Court challenges. Clay expresses concern that the Court may restrict aspects of Trump’s use of tariff powers under emergency economic authorities, while acknowledging these disputes are central to the administration’s “America First” strategy and enforcement leverage. A major cultural segment in Hour 2 examines what Clay and Buck describe as modern left‑wing victimhood narratives, sparked by comments made on The View by actress Pam Grier claiming she witnessed lynchings as a child in Ohio. The hosts dissect historical data showing the claim is impossible given Grier’s birth year and Ohio’s documented history.

Buck emphasizes that lynching history is often misrepresented for political impact, while Clay argues objective reality and historical context must matter in public discourse. The hour also includes live coverage and reaction to President Trump’s ongoing White House press briefing, where Trump highlights ICE enforcement actions, displays images of violent offenders targeted by deportation efforts, and condemns sanctuary jurisdictions—reinforcing immigration enforcement as a central theme for his Davos messaging.

  • Hour 3 - Why Greenland Matters

    Hour 3 - Why Greenland Matters
    Jan 20 2026
    Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show is dominated by live coverage and analysis of President Donald Trump’s White House press conference marking the one‑year anniversary of Trump 2.0. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton bring listeners extended excerpts and real‑time commentary as Trump outlines what he views as the defining accomplishments of his second term while previewing themes he is expected to carry to the World Economic Forum in Davos. Throughout hour 3, Trump highlights what he describes as historic economic gains, including record stock market highs, massive growth in retirement accounts, trillions of dollars in new domestic investment commitments, and sharp reductions in the trade deficit. Clay and Buck analyze Trump’s claim that tariffs have produced national‑security benefits without triggering inflation, as well as his assertion that corporate reshoring and manufacturing expansion have accelerated as foreign companies move operations into the United States to avoid tariffs. A major policy focus in Hour 3 is drug pricing reform, with Trump emphasizing newly secured most‑favored‑nation pricing agreements with major pharmaceutical companies that he says will dramatically lower prescription costs for Americans. Clay and Buck discuss Trump’s frustration with what he perceives as media underreporting of these changes and frame the issue as potentially one of the most consequential healthcare reforms of his presidency. The hosts then break down Trump’s comments on immigration enforcement, particularly his defense of ICE agents and his decision to display photos of violent offenders targeted for removal. Clay and Buck argue this visual tactic explains who ICE is actually arresting—criminal offenders rather than law‑abiding residents—and contrast Trump’s messaging with recent media criticism of immigration enforcement operations. The discussion also includes Trump’s remarks about fraud and public corruption in Minnesota, including comments referencing Representative Ilhan Omar’s finances and alleged misuse of public funds. Hour 3 transitions into a detailed discussion of Greenland and geopolitics, which Clay and Buck describe as one of the most important foreign‑policy themes emerging ahead of Davos. They respond to statements from European leaders, including the European Commission and Danish officials, rejecting any U.S. claim to Greenland. Clay and Buck outline Trump’s strategic rationale, focusing on Arctic security, resource access, emerging shipping lanes, and historical precedents such as the U.S. purchase of Alaska and the U.S. Virgin Islands from Denmark. They argue Trump envisions a negotiated, voluntary territorial arrangement rather than military action, potentially involving direct payments and a referendum among Greenland’s population. The latter half of Hour 3 of the program features listener reactions and call‑ins grading Trump’s first year back in office. The majority of callers give Trump an “A” or “A+,” praising domestic and foreign policy accomplishments while also expressing frustration with Congress for not doing more to support Trump’s agenda. Some callers cite lingering issues such as DOJ accountability and transparency as reasons for slightly lower grades. The hour concludes with lighter, unscripted moments as Clay and Buck discuss personal travel aspirations to Alaska, Greenland, and California’s Alcatraz swim, blending humor with audience engagement. The show wraps with anticipation of further developments from Trump’s Davos trip and ongoing coverage of his second‑term agenda.
