    The Truth with Lisa Boothe: Oil Price Shock: Former Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette on Iran War, Global Oil Markets, and America’s Energy Future
    Mar 10 2026

    How is the war with Iran impacting global oil prices—and could the Strait of Hormuz trigger the next energy crisis? In this episode, Lisa sits down with former U.S. Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette to break down the extreme volatility in the oil markets, the risks facing global shipping, and how energy traders are trying to price uncertainty during a geopolitical conflict.

    Brouillette explains why oil prices surged from the mid-$70s to $120 in just hours, how the Trump administration’s proposed $20 billion tanker insurance backstop could stabilize shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, and why the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at a dangerously low level. He also reflects on how deregulation during the Trump administration helped make the United States a net energy exporter and what that means for energy security today.

    The conversation also explores the global implications of bringing Venezuelan oil back into the market, China’s reliance on discounted energy, and how geopolitical shifts could reshape the world’s energy supply. Plus, Brouillette discusses the massive power demand coming from AI and data centers, why nuclear energy may be the key to meeting future electricity needs, and how cybersecurity and quantum computing could transform energy infrastructure.

    Topics covered include:

    • Why oil prices are swinging wildly during the Iran conflict

    • The strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz

    • Trump’s tanker insurance plan and global shipping risks

    • The state of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve

    • Energy independence and deregulation under the Trump administration

    • Venezuelan oil and China’s discounted energy supply

    • The massive energy demand from AI and data centers

    • Why nuclear power could be critical for America’s energy future

    A must-listen for anyone following energy markets, geopolitics, oil prices, and the future of global energy security.

  • Verdict with Ted Cruz: Big Victories in Iran, More Risks of Terrorism at Home and Tucker & Dems Both Attack Trump

    Verdict with Ted Cruz: Big Victories in Iran, More Risks of Terrorism at Home and Tucker & Dems Both Attack Trump
    Mar 10 2026
    America at a Crossroads: How Operation Epic Fury, Rising Terror Threats, Democratic Obstruction, and Media Propaganda Define This Moment As the world watches Operation Epic Fury reshape the balance of power in the Middle East, Americans at home face rising terror threats, political gamesmanship in Washington, and a media environment increasingly aligned with anti‑American narratives. The latest episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz captures this moment with striking clarity, weaving together the military, political, and cultural battles that define America’s fight for security both abroad and at home. What emerges is a sobering but empowering picture: America is winning where it shows strength — and suffering where weakness is politically engineered. Operation Epic Fury: Crushing Iran’s War Machine and Reasserting American Dominance Senator Ted Cruz opens the episode with the hard numbers that tell the story: Iran’s offensive capabilities are collapsing under sustained, strategic U.S. pressure. In just eight days: Ballistic missile launches fell from 350 to just 15 per dayDrone swarms dropped from peak 541 to only 12Iran’s air defenses have been neutralizedMobile missile launchers are destroyed in real timeThe Iranian Navy has been crippled The U.S. has achieved total air superiority and full maritime dominance in the Persian Gulf. This is not a symbolic show of force — it is the systematic dismantling of a regime that has funded terrorism for nearly half a century. President Trump’s strategy is working because it is disciplined: Use precision weapons early to blind and cripple Iranian defensesTransition to gravity bombs once dominance is securedCut off Iran’s financial lifelinesDemand unconditional surrender The result: Iran’s ability to wage war or fund terrorism is fading fast. And beyond Iran itself, Operation Epic Fury delivers a powerful check on China by securing energy chokepoints critical to Beijing’s economy — a geopolitical masterstroke the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge. Rising Terror Threats at Home: The Real Consequences of Open Borders While U.S. forces dismantle Iran’s capabilities abroad, Americans face growing threats at home from extremist actors emboldened by years of open‑border policies under the Biden administration. The episode cites two recent and chilling examples: A dangerous IED attack in New York CityAn Islamist‑motivated assault in Austin, where the attacker wore pro‑Iranian symbols Yet the media suppressed key details — especially that attackers shouted “Allahu Akbar” and displayed Iranian extremist ideology. When facts interfere with political narratives, the media buries them. Senator Cruz makes the core point clearly:These extremists are here because Democrats opened the border and kept it open. With Islamist leaders issuing fatwas calling for attacks on Americans, the Biden-era border collapse is not merely negligent — it is dangerous. Democrats’ DHS Shutdown: Political Theater with Deadly Stakes One of the most stunning sections of the episode centers on the Democratic Party’s refusal to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Every Democrat except John Fetterman voted against DHS funding. Their target? ICE — or so they claim. The truth?ICE is fully funded because Republicans secured its budget last year. So who is being punished in the shutdown? TSA agents, now working unpaidFEMA workers, responsible for disaster responseThe Coast Guard, whose servicemembers can't pay rentCounterterror units, critical during a time of heightened risk This isn’t resistance — it’s recklessness. Democrats know their base hates ICE, wants open borders, and demands symbolic activism. So they chose to defund the very agencies that protect Americans while pretending to “fight” ICE. Senator Cruz calls it what it is:A radical political game endangering Americans during a terror surge. Exposing the Obama–Murphy Nuclear Deal Lies One of the episode’s most powerful takedowns comes as Senator Cruz dismantles Senator Chris Murphy’s claims about the Obama-era Iran Nuclear Deal. Murphy insisted the deal “was working,” that inspections were “daily,” and that Trump “caused the crisis.” Cruz responds with facts: The deal allowed no inspections at key military sites like FordowIran was allowed to self-certify complianceSunset clauses guaranteed Iran nuclear capability within 15 yearsObama picked Wendy Sherman — who previously negotiated the failed North Korea deal that created a nuclear dictatorship The Obama deal wasn’t diplomacy — it was appeasement. Trump was right to tear it up, and Operation Epic Fury’s success proves it. Tucker Carlson’s Radical Turn: When Isolationism Becomes Anti‑American Propaganda In a surprising twist, the episode turns to Tucker Carlson — once considered a leading conservative voice. Carlson’s recent commentary on Iran included the shocking claim that “unconditional surrender ...

    Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Mar 10 2026
    Mar 10 2026
    Iran Endgame Clay and Buck open the hour analyzing remarks from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who describes increasingly intense American airstrikes and the destruction of Iranian missile sites, naval assets, and military infrastructure. President Donald Trump’s comments from an event in Doral underscore the scope of the operation, with Trump highlighting that U.S. forces have struck thousands of targets and sunk dozens of Iranian naval vessels. This leads the hosts into a broader conversation about the endgame in Iran—specifically the uncertainty over who might take power if the regime collapses and whether the U.S. or Israel has viable contacts who could help stabilize the country. Questions arise about whether any Iranian political figures could work with the West, even discreetly, and whether the U.S. intends to pursue regime change or simply force strategic concessions. The discussion shifts toward the economic consequences of the conflict, particularly the dramatic price fluctuations in global oil markets. Clay notes that oil surged to $120 per barrel before rapidly falling to around $85, emphasizing how the United States’ role as the world’s top oil and gas producer provides a buffer against global shocks. The hosts contrast this national strength with states like California, which has severely limited oil and gas production despite having abundant resources. They argue that nationwide energy independence—driven largely by fracking—has dramatically reduced the geopolitical leverage of petro‑dictator states like Iran, Russia, and Venezuela. Michael Whatley Must Win Senate candidate Michael Watley of North Carolina joins to lay out why he believes his race will become the most expensive Senate contest in American history, with more than $600 million expected to pour into the state. Watley contrasts his platform with Democrat Roy Cooper’s record on crime, taxes, immigration enforcement, and cultural issues, arguing that Cooper repeatedly vetoed legislation aimed at keeping violent illegal immigrants out of North Carolina and supported policies allowing biological males into women’s sports and locker rooms. He highlights the massive federal recovery effort after Hurricane Helene, crediting Trump‑aligned leadership for billions in rebuilding investments across western North Carolina. Watley emphasizes that suburban, college‑educated independent voters—particularly those concerned about inflation, housing affordability, and public safety—will determine the outcome of the race, which historically has been decided by razor‑thin margins. Watley lays out pro‑growth policies he hopes to implement in the Senate, including extending Trump’s middle‑class tax cuts, eliminating taxes on overtime, tips, and Social Security, and pursuing regulatory and trade reforms designed to strengthen manufacturing, small businesses, and farms. He notes skyrocketing housing costs across the state and previews an upcoming meeting with federal housing officials aimed at increasing supply, lowering prices, expanding first‑time homebuyer access, and reducing interest rate pressure. Clay and Buck underscore how these affordability issues have become decisive for independent voters in states experiencing rapid population growth. Nothing is Impossible Shannon Bream, Chief Legal Correspondent at the Fox News Channel, nerds out with Clay and Buck over several high‑stakes Supreme Court cases expected in the coming months. She details upcoming rulings on redistricting, race‑based gerrymandering, and executive power, noting that the timing of decisions could influence how states draw congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. The conversation expands to unresolved tariff‑refund disputes created by recent court rulings and the Supreme Court’s stalled investigation into the Dobbs leak, which she says produced no identified culprit and may be difficult to reopen. Clay and Buck also ask about speculation that aging justices like Samuel Alito might retire while Trump still controls Senate confirmations, though Bream says there are no signs of imminent departures. She also talked about her new book out today: “Nothing is Impossible with God: Eleven Heroes. One God. Endless Lessons in Overcoming”. Suspicious Packages Breaking news emerges as Clay and Buck monitor reports of suspicious packages near Gracie Mansion in New York City following a series of politically charged protests. Clay and Buck highlight how rising tensions around radicalism, counter‑protests, and public safety are shaping the national conversation. This leads into a blistering critique of CNN’s framing of an incident involving homemade bombs thrown outside the home of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The hosts argue that CNN’s softened, narrative‑driven portrayal of the suspects reveals deep cultural bias within the network’s editorial process, reinforcing their long‑held belief that CNN’s institutional ...

  • Hour 1 - Iran Endgame

    Hour 1 - Iran Endgame
    Mar 10 2026
    Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show centers on fast‑moving developments in the escalating U.S. military campaign against Iran. Clay and Buck open the hour analyzing remarks from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who describes increasingly intense American airstrikes and the destruction of Iranian missile sites, naval assets, and military infrastructure. President Donald Trump’s comments from an event in Doral underscore the scope of the operation, with Trump highlighting that U.S. forces have struck thousands of targets and sunk dozens of Iranian naval vessels. This leads the hosts into a broader conversation about the endgame in Iran—specifically the uncertainty over who might take power if the regime collapses and whether the U.S. or Israel has viable contacts who could help stabilize the country. Questions arise about whether any Iranian political figures could work with the West, even discreetly, and whether the U.S. intends to pursue regime change or simply force strategic concessions. The discussion shifts toward the economic consequences of the conflict, particularly the dramatic price fluctuations in global oil markets. Clay notes that oil surged to $120 per barrel before rapidly falling to around $85, emphasizing how the United States’ role as the world’s top oil and gas producer provides a buffer against global shocks. The hosts contrast this national strength with states like California, which has severely limited oil and gas production despite having abundant resources. They argue that nationwide energy independence—driven largely by fracking—has dramatically reduced the geopolitical leverage of petro‑dictator states like Iran, Russia, and Venezuela. From geopolitics, Clay and Buck pivot to domestic political storylines, including early maneuvering in the 2028 Republican presidential field. Marco Rubio’s rise in betting markets and Vice President J.D. Vance’s shifting position spark speculation about what American politics will look like once Trump eventually leaves the stage. The hosts humorously imagine Trump launching an enormously successful podcast after his presidency, cementing his place at the center of public attention. Congressman Jim Jordan joins the program for an extended segment covering several major issues. He details the ongoing Minnesota Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, accusing state officials of misleading the public and protecting political allies. Jordan also discusses the Save America Act, expressing disbelief that Democrats oppose strict voter‑ID and citizenship requirements for federal elections, which he argues are overwhelmingly popular with voters. The conversation expands to long TSA lines and the refusal by Democrats to fund the Department of Homeland Security during an active military conflict, which Jordan frames as reckless and ideological. He also weighs in on the Iran campaign, echoing Trump’s confidence and praising the military’s swift dismantling of Iranian offensive capabilities. Toward the end of the segment, Jordan addresses the chaos surrounding name‑image‑likeness (NIL) rules in college sports and expresses optimism that Congress can pass the SCORE Act to bring legal stability to college athletics. The hour concludes with listener calls. One listener raises concerns about potential Iranian sleeper cells in the United States, prompting Buck to distinguish between ideologically motivated lone actors and more sophisticated, trained infiltrators whose numbers and intentions are unknown. Another caller comments on the sharp drop in global oil prices, comparing the movement to previous major geopolitical shocks. Throughout the hour, Clay and Buck frame the unfolding Iran conflict, shifting oil markets, domestic political battles, and structural challenges in college sports as interconnected issues illustrating the stakes of America’s current political moment.

  • Hour 2 - Nothing is Impossible

    Hour 2 - Nothing is Impossible
    Mar 10 2026
    Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show focuses heavily on the dramatic plunge in global oil prices, with Clay noting that crude fell more in the past 24 hours than at any point in the last four years. They discuss how the previous day’s panic over $120‑per‑barrel oil evaporated almost instantly as prices sank back into the mid‑$80s, sending commodities traders scrambling. The hosts argue that media outlets quickly moved on from the alarmist narrative once the price collapse undercut the storyline, and they connect the market swings to uncertainty in the Strait of Hormuz, where shipping captains remain cautious despite the United States delivering crushing military blows to Iran’s navy and missile infrastructure. The hour’s main guest, Senate candidate Michael Watley of North Carolina, joins to lay out why he believes his race will become the most expensive Senate contest in American history, with more than $600 million expected to pour into the state. Watley contrasts his platform with Democrat Roy Cooper’s record on crime, taxes, immigration enforcement, and cultural issues, arguing that Cooper repeatedly vetoed legislation aimed at keeping violent illegal immigrants out of North Carolina and supported policies allowing biological males into women’s sports and locker rooms. He highlights the massive federal recovery effort after Hurricane Helene, crediting Trump‑aligned leadership for billions in rebuilding investments across western North Carolina. Watley emphasizes that suburban, college‑educated independent voters—particularly those concerned about inflation, housing affordability, and public safety—will determine the outcome of the race, which historically has been decided by razor‑thin margins. Economic concerns dominate much of Hour 2, with Watley laying out pro‑growth policies he hopes to implement in the Senate, including extending Trump’s middle‑class tax cuts, eliminating taxes on overtime, tips, and Social Security, and pursuing regulatory and trade reforms designed to strengthen manufacturing, small businesses, and farms. He notes skyrocketing housing costs across the state and previews an upcoming meeting with federal housing officials aimed at increasing supply, lowering prices, expanding first‑time homebuyer access, and reducing interest rate pressure. Clay and Buck underscore how these affordability issues have become decisive for independent voters in states experiencing rapid population growth. Listeners chime in with questions about global oil markets, prompting Clay and Buck to explain that even though the United States is the world’s largest oil producer, it cannot unilaterally set prices because oil is traded globally. Shipping companies remain nervous about Iranian missile and drone threats in the Strait of Hormuz, which keeps markets volatile despite major U.S. military successes. Shannon Bream joins the show to discuss her new book, Nothing Is Impossible with God, and to break down several high‑stakes Supreme Court cases expected in the coming months. She details upcoming rulings on redistricting, race‑based gerrymandering, and executive power, noting that the timing of decisions could influence how states draw congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. The conversation expands to unresolved tariff‑refund disputes created by recent court rulings and the Supreme Court’s stalled investigation into the Dobbs leak, which she says produced no identified culprit and may be difficult to reopen. Clay and Buck also ask about speculation that aging justices like Samuel Alito might retire while Trump still controls Senate confirmations, though Bream says there are no signs of imminent departures. The final segment of Hour 2 features listener calls, including one caller who credits Buck’s book with politically converting a left‑leaning college student. Buck and Clay discuss some of the historical material that didn’t make it into the final manuscript, including Soviet propaganda and the mythology surrounding Stalin’s cult of personality. The hour closes with breaking news out of New York, where the NYPD bomb squad responds to explosive devices thrown near Gracie Mansion, setting up further coverage later in the show.

  • Hour 3 - Suspicious Packages

    Hour 3 - Suspicious Packages
    Mar 10 2026
    Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into fast‑moving political, cultural, and national‑security storylines as Clay and Buck break down the latest developments surrounding Iran, the economy, CNN media bias, autonomous vehicle innovation, and a brewing debate among listeners over firearms. The hour begins with the hosts reacting to the explosive cost of the North Carolina Senate race—an unprecedented $600 million battle that reflects the broader fight for congressional control heading into the midterms. They discuss the political stakes of potential Supreme Court vacancies, the uncertainty surrounding future Senate majorities, and why 2026 may be the last realistic window for President Donald Trump to confirm a like‑minded justice. Breaking news emerges early in the hour as the hosts monitor reports of suspicious packages near Gracie Mansion in New York City following a series of politically charged protests. Clay and Buck highlight how rising tensions around radicalism, counter‑protests, and public safety are shaping the national conversation. This leads into a blistering critique of CNN’s framing of an incident involving homemade bombs thrown outside the home of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The hosts argue that CNN’s softened, narrative‑driven portrayal of the suspects reveals deep cultural bias within the network’s editorial process, reinforcing their long‑held belief that CNN’s institutional culture needs a complete overhaul. The hour pivots to the broader media environment, with Clay and Buck praising Elon Musk and the transformation of Twitter into a platform that no longer suppresses stories unfavorable to the left. This launches a humorous sidebar about Gen Z slang terms like “glazing,” “mogging,” and “looksmaxxing,” as the hosts poke fun at generational language shifts and how social media influences cultural vocabulary. From there, the show transitions back to serious geopolitical analysis as Caroline Levitt delivers a White House briefing outlining President Trump’s strategy to stabilize global energy markets during the Iran conflict. Clay and Buck explain how the administration’s rapid response—including offering naval escorts for tankers, waiving certain sanctions, and providing political risk insurance—has helped reverse the temporary oil price spike that rattled markets the previous day. The hosts then examine public opinion on the U.S. air campaign in Iran, noting that polls show strong support—over 75 percent—so long as the mission remains swift, decisive, and avoids any ground‑troop escalation. They emphasize that Trump is highly attuned to market reactions and economic sentiment, shaping his foreign‑policy decisions to preserve what they describe as a “Goldilocks economy” with low unemployment, falling interest rates, and stabilizing inflation. Clay predicts that by late spring or early summer, the positive effects of Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” will propel the economy forward at a rapid pace, creating ideal conditions heading into the midterms. Autonomous vehicle technology becomes the next major focus of the hour, as the hosts discuss comments from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy about the race to dominate global self‑driving innovation. Clay passionately argues that autonomous vehicles are the future and compares skeptics to people in the early 1900s who refused to abandon horse‑drawn carriages. Buck adds humor by comparing old‑school car purists to fans of outdated firearms like the Colt 1911, creating a lively back‑and‑forth that spills into listener talkbacks. Callers and podcast listeners weigh in with detailed, technical arguments about 9mm vs. .45 caliber ammunition, shot placement, weapon ergonomics, and real‑world defensive use—turning the final stretch of Hour 3 into an animated debate within the show’s heavily firearms‑savvy audience. The hour wraps with Clay and Buck continuing to monitor Caroline Levitt’s press briefing, discussing TSA staffing shortages caused by stalled DHS funding, and highlighting how airport security delays are impacting everyday Americans. They close by encouraging listeners to engage with the show through podcast talkbacks and video platforms as they prepare for even more content in the days ahead.

    Wellness Unmasked: Hope Through Cancer: Elizabeth Price’s Inspiring Story & the Book Helping Families Cope
    Mar 10 2026

    On this episode, Dr. Nicole Saphier speaks with Elizabeth Price, a mother, chiropractor, artist, and stage-four colon cancer survivor who has defied the odds for more than eight years. After being diagnosed unexpectedly during a routine colonoscopy, Elizabeth began a grueling medical journey that has included 144 rounds of chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and ongoing treatment—all while raising her young children and refusing to let cancer define her life.

    Elizabeth shares the emotional moment that inspired her children’s book, “Mom, I Know What You Have: Parenting with Joy Through a Journey with Cancer.” The beautifully illustrated book helps families talk to children about serious illness while preserving hope, faith, and joy during incredibly difficult moments.

    In this powerful conversation, Elizabeth opens up about living with stage-four cancer, how faith and community carried her through the darkest days, and why early screening for colon cancer is more important than ever. She also offers advice for parents navigating illness, explains the warning signs she wishes she had recognized earlier, and discusses how her book is now being donated to cancer centers to help other families.

    Normally Podcast: NYC Bomb Plot, Media Spin, Trump’s Iran Strategy & Political Hypocrisy
    Mar 10 2026

    On this episode of Normally, Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz break down a week of headlines where the news—and the media response to it—got especially strange.

    They start with the shocking arrest of two men accused of throwing improvised explosive devices near Gracie Mansion in New York City. The conversation dives into how major outlets framed the story, why the media narrative quickly shifted toward claims of “Islamophobia,” and what the incident reveals about the broader problem of political violence and media credibility.

    Next, the hosts turn to the escalating conflict with Iran. They discuss Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s appearance on 60 Minutes, President Trump’s strategy of leaving “all options on the table,” and the growing debate in Washington over war powers, deterrence, and America’s role in the region.

    Later, they analyze a viral moment from Real Time with Bill Maher in which Maher presses Adam Schiff on congressional war authorization—highlighting the kind of political hypocrisy that often goes unchallenged in today’s media landscape.

    Finally, Mary Katharine and Karol discuss the backlash after Jesse Jackson’s funeral turned into a political stage, including criticism from Jesse Jackson Jr. himself about the politicization of his father's memorial service.

    From media bias and political violence to foreign policy and partisan double standards, this episode explores why so many Americans feel they can’t trust the narrative—and what it means when the news stops making sense.
