Welcome in. We are rolling through the program and we are starting off with breaking news right off the top. President Trump in the midst of a Cabinet meeting. Lots of news coming in on a variety of fronts here as we get rolling on the Thursday edition of the program, but we thought you might like to hear from Trump himself. We have a bunch of the most newsworthy takes already as this cabinet meeting has been going on for some time, but as they are taking questions from the media, let's go to the Cabinet meeting in the White House right now.
Donald Trump
I never thought we needed him. I was more doing a test. I said I really would love to have you come up, bring your boats. You can sail through the beautiful hormone straits and you can protect people that are being shot at. They didn't do it and that's small potatoes. Do you understand what I'm saying? Go ahead.
Weatherbug Announcer
I'm just going to say, does it affect the state visit with the king
Reynolds Kitchens Announcer
that you're going to have in April? Are you looking forward to that with the king?
Donald Trump
No, he's a friend of mine. He's a great gentleman. As you know, he honored me and our country. He really honored our country. But we had an amazing time. I've known him as Prince Charles. I know him as King Charles. I'm proud of him. He's fighting a tough battle. He's tough. I think. I think he's fantastic. It has nothing to do with. It's different. But and we're going to. He's going to be here very soon. As you know, we're going to have a State dinner. It's going to be great. But I was very disappointed when the prime minister said, I want be able to. It started with the island, the island that the indigenous have claimed away from your country. And for some reason you went for it. And all of a sudden, indigenous people that never saw the place, they never saw it. He was afraid that we would do something to himself because he's a liberal. That's the way they think. And when we needed the island to land that beautiful B2 bomber, we were told we can't use it, we'd have to fly back to Missouri, which is a 17 hour flight as opposed to a couple of hours. And I said, you got to be kidding. Not good. They made a big mistake.
Weatherbug Announcer
Is the Friday deadline for Iran, is that pushed back now or if not,
Donald Trump
I don't know yet. I don't know. Mr. Witkoff and JD and Jared will tell me whether or not they think it's going along and if it's not going along, maybe not. And we have a lot of time. You know what? It's a day in Trump time. A day. You know what it is? That's an eternity. European Parliament just passed a major deportation plan. Some of the tenets of it are that member states can deport rejected asylum seekers to third countries regardless of whether
Buck Sexton
they have a connection to it, for
Donald Trump
detention periods of up to two years. And also offshore return hubs or detention centers similar to our. Who did this? Who does which country? And the vote was not close. It was 389 in favor to 208 again. I'd vote. I'd vote with them. Yeah. Is where you are now.
Clay Travis
Do you think that will move the needle with Democrats?
Donald Trump
I don't care about the Democrats. The Democrats hate our country. The Democrats are in chaos right now and they have no common sense. You know, they have one quality that's amazing. They stick together. And it's harder because they stick together. A ridiculous policy like men playing in women's sports. Open borders for everybody, including murderers and anybody else who wanted. We're open to you. Come in, murderers. You know why they do that? They do that for a couple of reasons, but they do it for votes because they think they're going to vote for the Democrats. Even though I did great with the Hispanic vote. Tremendous with Hispanic vote. You know, I turned that whole thing around. The Hispanics like me and I like them. And you know, it's interesting with Hispanics, when I built the wall, everybody said, oh, that's going to ruin us for the Hispanic. It was just the opposite. They know all about immigration and they know all about death and crime. And they're smart people and they have common sense. They wanted to be protected from the people that were coming into our country. So, you know, I won the election with a very tremendous Hispanic vote, and I think it's higher now than it was then. So we're a party of common sense. The Democrats are a party of insanity. They're a party that will destroy our country. If I didn't win this election, I believe our country would have been destroyed by now. One year, that's all it would have taken. If you had Kamala or Sleepy Joe, either one. It wouldn't have mattered. They're the same thing. Two sleepy people. Two stupid people, I believe. And by the way, Gavin Newscombe, who is one of the candidates, I believe he took himself out of the running when he says he is. He suffers from mental disability. And a reporter said it was terrible that I talked that way about somebody with mental disability. I said, I have no problem with it, but I don't want a person with mental disability to be my president. I mean, you don't want to have a person with mental disability being your president. And Gavin Newsom said that he can't read a speech. He can't do almost anything. And then he said he's as dumb as all the people in the room. And he got accused of being a racist, which was an amazing thing. I thought it was the worst interview I've ever seen anybody give. He's actually a very stupid person. So I believe he's out of the running. I think that that statement, that interview, he admitted that he's a stupid person. I don't want a stupid person being president. You know, I'll say it right now. I say it because no press ever reports it. I'm the only president that ever took a cognitive test. I took it three times. It's actually a very hard test for a lot of people. It wasn't hard for me, but it's a cognitive test. It starts off with an easy question, and by the time you get to the middle, gets tougher by the time you get to the end. Very few people can answer those questions. They get very tough mathematical equations and things. I took it three times. I aced it all three times in front of numerous doctors that I have no idea who they are. Who they are. And I was told when I went in, they said, doc Ronnie told me this. My current doctors, who are fantastic doctors, they said, well, if you take it, you know, It's Walter Reed. It's essentially a public hospital. And if you do badly, it's probably going to get out. But I aced it. I got them all right. And one doctor said, I've never seen anybody get them all right. I've been doing the test for 20 years. I want people. I would love to see anybody that's a president or a vice president or anybody that has any chance of being a president, I would like to see them take a cognitive test. Because we had a man in this office that had no clue what was happening. And let me give you a little secret. He wasn't a smart man 30 years ago. And I'll tell you about President Obama. He wasn't a smart man either. I know all about him. He wasn't a smart man. Highly overrated. He was a great divider. And our country can't go through that anymore. Can't go through. We have done an amazing job. I had to do a little. I call it an excursion. I had to do a little stopover in Iran and we had to knock the hell out of them because our country would not have been safe. The world wouldn't have been safe. I've done a great favor for the world. The world has not been. It has not been reciprocal. Because when I told NATO where we give billions and billions of dollars, trillions over the years, I said, do you mind coming up and giving us a little hand with the straits? Send up some. They didn't want to get involved. And I believe that's going to cost them dearly. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you.
Buck Sexton
Okay, that is President Trump answering a lot of questions. He made a lot of news during the course of this cabinet meeting that has been covered live on Fox News, on MSNBC and on cnn. And we will begin to play some of those cuts that our team has pulled so that you have the absolute latest on the news. Let's start here. Trump talking about the fact that he believes they are very far ahead of schedule. 26 days into the bombing campaign. Over and on Iran. Cut to.
Donald Trump
We estimate it would take approximately four to six weeks to achieve our mission. 26 days in, we're extremely, really a lot ahead of schedule. The Iranian regime is now admitting to itself that they have been decisively defeated. They're saying to people, this is a disaster. They know that's why they're talking to us. And they're only. They wouldn't talk otherwise, but they're talking to us because they've got a disaster in their hands. They're defeated. They can't make a comeback. We're free to roam over their cities and towns and destroy all of their crazy nuclear weapons and missiles and drones that they're building. And we're doing that. They now have a chance to make a deal, but that's up to them. And they'll tell you we're not negotiating. We will not negotiate. Of course they're negotiated. They've been obliterated. Who wouldn't negotiate? They are begging to make a deal. We'll see if we can make the right deal.
Buck Sexton
Here he is talking about oil prices and the stock market cut three short.
Donald Trump
Frankly, I thought the oil prices would go up more and I thought the stock market would go down more. Hasn't been nearly as severe as I thought. I think they have confidence in maybe the American president and maybe the people sitting around this table.
Buck Sexton
And one more buck. He also weighed in on what is becoming probably the most significant hindrance to many of you in your day to day life, which is day 41 of the DHS shutdown, which has led to huge lines at many different airports out there.
Clay Travis
Cut five, they now have the chance,
Donald Trump
that is Iran, to permanently abandon their nuclear. All right now on day 41 of the disgraceful Democrat shutdown of Mark Wayne's department. Congratulations. He came into a department that shut down. Shut down by the radical Democrats. Democrats are really punishing the American people. I saw it today on one of the shows where they were interviewing people at the airport and they're all angry at the Democrats. They're saying they're actually angry at Schumer. I didn't think anyone knew his name. One woman said that Schumer is disgraceful. He's a disgrace to our country. But they're angry at the Democrats. They know what's happening, but they're punishing the American people, including travelers at airports, all in the quest to return to open borders and give amnesty to illegal alien criminals. But we're not going to let it happen. We're not going to let the Democrats get away with this stuff. And people are wise to him. So they need to end the shutdown immediately or have to take some very drastic measures.
Buck Sexton
Okay, lots of reactions out there. I'm sure we're going to spend a great deal of time here unpacking them, let me tell you. Alex Berenson, our friend, going to join us top of the next hour. Maureen Callahan, top of hour three. Buck. Over an hour there with President Trump talking to the media.
Clay Travis
You know, we do show prep all morning. And Clay And I are texting back and forth and talking to the team and everything. And then Trump just makes enough news for about five hours of radio show commentary and analysis right as we go to the air. So this is the world of a Trump administration. And of course, we love it. It's keeps us on our toes, keeps it interesting. But he's talking about, just think about what he covered there, obviously, a lot on Iran, but then just takes a bunch of Democrats to the woodshed, I mean, decides that he's just swinging the two by four at Gavin Newsom, not holding back at all. We've got Maduro, by the way, in a hearing right now in New York City also while we're talking to you. So the former dictator of Venezuela is in a New York City federal court, or rather. Yeah, the court hearing is underway. I'm not sure if he's being transferred, if he's already there. But Trump saying that Iran is also trying to make a deal. Things happening in Venezuela. We're going to update you on the airport situation and ICE and the tsa, but also, Clay, some really, truly disturbing crime stories in this country. And the crimes are heinous. But the way Democrats have handled these things, whether it's the judges, whether it's the Biden administration with immigration, absolutely appalling. And we're going to be talking about some of these cases because you need to know about them. Criminal justice, how to make everyone safer is actually not a. It's not a question for which the answer is complicated. It is increasingly clear. It is a question that Democrats refuse, refuse to go along with the obvious answers. They just don't want to do it. They don't want to do it. We'll get into that, too. So one of the laws passed in The Senate nearly 30 years ago was the Taxpayer Relief act of 1997.
Buck Sexton
Hold on.
Clay Travis
This is all going to make sense. It was meant to help individuals plan for a better retirement, giving you more IRA and 401k investment options. Guess what? Gold was one of the new retirement investment options as well. If you're wise enough two decades ago and made your first investment in gold, investing $20,000, you would have today $150,000 worth of gold based on the price of that precious metal and how much it has increased. So diversifying a portion of your savings into precious metals makes sense for a lot of Americans. And Birch Gold Group can help you do that. Gold's value shot up more than 65% in 2025. Because when there's instability around the world. When there's continued money printing debt problems, people turn to gold. Birch Gold Group can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold. Text My Name Buck to 98.98.98 to receive your free info kit on gold. No obligation, just useful information.

Clay Travis
Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. So we just carried for you live that Trump, that Trump Cabinet meeting from the White House and there's a lot that he touched on but one thing that we want to bring to you. So again this, this was just, this has just been under discussion and we're bringing this all to you live and real time as we're assessing and analyzing. But the Democrat shutdown of dhs Trump spoke to this and I just want to note this is continuing on and this there's only so much that they'll be able to patch up the holes in the ship, so to speak. This is cut five. He's talking about how we should remember everyone. We're 48 days into Democrats refusing to fund DHS Play it.
Donald Trump
We're now on day 41 of the disgraceful Democrat shutdown of Mark Wayne's department. Congratulations. He came into a department of shutdown shut down by the radical Democrats. Democrats are really punishing the American people. I saw today on one of the shows where they were interviewing people at the airport and they're all angry at the Democrats. They're saying they're actually angry at Schumer. I didn't think anyone knew his name. One woman said that Schumer is disgraceful. He's a disgrace to our country. But they're angry at the Democrats and
Clay Travis
so I want to jump in here so. I know, I know. So you play this is, this is the central issue though right now for the midterms, actually I think more so they were hoping that Iran would be a disaster and that that would then turn in and there'd be this huge fracture in MAGA and everything would fall apart. I think the problem the Republicans are going to run into with this is Democrats. This is their real, this is rather their election strategy for the midterms. Misery via DHS Blame Republicans for as much of it as they can create.
Buck Sexton
100% and I don't know how long they're going to be able to hold out here. When we come back on the on the backside of this buck, we'll continue to update you on what the president said at the Cabinet meeting. But we've talked about the murder of the 18 year old innocent college kid in Chicago. This story that's coming out of New York, 83 year old veteran pushed in front of the subway by someone who had been deported four different times. Should have never been here. These stories are stacking up and I think it's getting harder and harder for Democrats to be able remember they're shutting down the airports because they don't want ICE to deport illegals that are here. That's really what's going on. They are of the opinion that the illegal immigrants that are here should not be taken out of the country. And as a result, all of you, every American citizen to listening to us right now, they're fine with you having to stand in line and have significant issues getting on an airplane at the time of spring break and at the time of Easter and they refuse to allocate the money that's already been agreed to be spent. And they've thrown a fit after Minneapolis. And again, all of this is rooted in they believe ICE is deporting too many illegal immigrants. They are fighting so hard on the behalf of illegal immigrants that they're fine with actual citizens paying the price when it comes to times at wait in airports right now.

Speaking truth and having fun, Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton. Welcome back in Clay Trav. BUCK Sexton show All right, we got a bunch of news that came out of President Trump's Cabinet meeting. Let's dive in here and, and actually keep you updated with all of that. So let me go in here and find out. Make sure we get it in order. Here is cut 33. I do understand why people ask questions that are very specific in terms of military strategy. I also love that Trump every time is like, why in the world would I tell you any of this?
Clay Travis
Yeah, the reporters are like, sir, are you going to launch a stealth attack on this member of the IRGC tomorrow at his house in the mountains? Like, probably not going to let you know.
Buck Sexton
33. Here is that version of that question that was just asked in the cabinet
Clay Travis
meeting, Mr. President, are you going to
Annabe Sofa Announcer
go in for the uranium?
Clay Travis
Like, how do you secure Iran?
Donald Trump
And let's assume I was or I wasn't. Why would I ever answer a question? What kind of question am I going to go in for? The oh, yeah, I'm going in. We're going in tomorrow at 3 o'.
Reynolds Kitchens Announcer
Clock.
Donald Trump
How could you possibly ask a question like that and expect an answer? I don't know. But I don't know. I think you're a friendly person, too. It's just such a ridiculous question.
Buck Sexton
That is very funny. And again, I was talking about this with Laura yesterday. I think Trump very often is so funny that it sometimes works against him in the context of people take him so literally on the left and they cannot, they cannot comprehend when he's joking. But, yeah, we're going to go in at 3 o'. Clock. Remember when Reagan got caught off Mike saying, we're hitting, we're hitting the Russians, making a joke, and it turned into a huge story. Um, but the specifics of this are every day he gets asked, hey, what are you trying to do? As we talked about yesterday, I think the genius of Trump in this respect has been he's caught the Iranians napping twice. He got them in June last year. They had no idea the attack was coming. He took out the Ayatollah on a Saturday when they had sent specific indications that they weren't going to do anything such that the Iranians are super nervous about negotiating with him now because he's caught him napping twice. And that's because he's put out different perspectives and it's hard to analyze what exactly he's doing. All right. This is a big story buck that we talked about yesterday and earlier this week. Things going are going so well in Venezuela that no one is even talking about Venezuela very much. I saw Doug Burgum a couple weeks ago, told him we want to get him on because he has been involved very much in the Venezuela oil situation. And he at the cabinet meeting gave an update cut 35 on just how much Venezuela's oil production is growing.
Public Investing Announcer
Listen, back on Venezuela, where Chris and
Donald Trump
I have both had a chance to
Public Investing Announcer
be there, I literally think they're going
Donald Trump
to put up a statute of President Trump.
Public Investing Announcer
And I'm not being it's not a political statement.
Donald Trump
It's something that would be a great
Public Investing Announcer
no, because it's like they view President Trump like Simon Mueller. He's the liberator of a country. And this is a country where they, you know, they love American baseball.
Donald Trump
You look on the street, they're wearing
Public Investing Announcer
NBA jerseys and Delsey and her team
Buck Sexton
working with us getting back, Chris and
Donald Trump
I both experienced, it was the first
Public Investing Announcer
time in Venezuelan history that they had the free press allowed to come on to essentially what's there, where the White House, the palatio Minaflores. And it was like it was an emotional thing for people that had been for 20 years, had never had a chance to be there.
Donald Trump
So it's a, to get that when are they going to do the statue?
Buck Sexton
So that is really, really funny. 50% increase in three months they've been there and maybe Trump's going to get a statue. And then he President Trump, we talked about this and it's a good pivot to allow us to discuss the continued impact of illegal immigrant crime in this country. Trump paused the cabinet meeting to deliver a message about Sheridan Gorman. She is the Chicago area college student who was killed in cold blood by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant in Chicago. And unfortunately, we've got recent stories that continue of totally innocent people being victimized by illegal immigrants. But here is Trump in the cabinet meeting addressing Sheridan Gorman, 18 year old, murdered in cold blood.
Donald Trump
It'd be great if people like the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois would say please come in and stop the crime, a beautiful young lady was killed the other day. And the father was a very good friend of Dan Scavino. And he took it very hard. Dan took it very hard. Like the father, friends, they grew up together. And it's a young lady whose life would be saved if we had. If we did what we did. As an example, in Washington D.C. which is now a safe city, all the time, people come up to me in the building, people that work here, they say, thank you so much. I know immediately what they're talking about. They're able to walk to work. They walk to work. You all walk to work. Some of you were mugged. I know you told me stories. Some of you were mugged. One person in particular was viciously mugged in the group right here. Not happening anymore. You have a safe city.
Buck Sexton
And so, Buck, I saw this story and I just tweeted it out and a lot of people are discussing it and I think it is unfortunate, but again, this could be happening in any city in America. We could point to it. And I want to make sure that I get this right because it was from Bill Malugian said. A four time previously deported. This is from the New York Post story. A four time previously deported Honduran illegal immigrant has been charged with murder after he allegedly shoved an 83 year old US Air Force veteran onto subway tracks in New York City's Upper east side. The veteran died from his injuries. The man who pushed him onto the tracks has a lengthy rap sheet. I want to make sure I get this man's name. He's a grandfather. Richard Williams died from his injuries at the Lexington Avenue 63rd Station just before noon middle of the day on March 8th. His alleged attacker was a Honduran national. And that Honduran national had been deported four different times. And Buck, unfortunately this is. There's cell phone footage of this. It's an awful situation. 83 years old, you're trying to take the subway at noon in New York City. And a man who should have never been in this country takes your life.
Clay Travis
Not only should he never have been in this country, he came back in after being deported Clay four times, which. Which is a felony. This is. This is again where I get very frustrated. People say, oh, our immigration system's broken. That's actually in many cases not true. Democrats break it. They refuse what is actual statute. They refuse to enforce laws. And this is a perfect example of it. You can. AI makes this all so easy. Now for legal stuff, I got to tell you, AI, you can pull up statutes In a second you can pull up any, any case law. I mean, the speed of this stuff is incredible. And you can see what I'm saying. It is a federal felony to, to if you have been deported because you came in illegally to come back. And doesn't that make perfect sense, by the way? It's one thing, okay, you came, we got you, you're gone. Now you're gonna do this again. This guy's done this four times and he somehow is still walking around the streets in this country. This is where everyone has to understand. During the Biden years, Clay, it became too obvious for anyone to pretend otherwise. Really, that Democrats wanted an open border and that, you know, we saw 10 million came in, they're pretending, oh, it's about asylum. They're not asylum seekers, they're scammers. We see. Okay, that was one revelation. Another revelation people are now having under this Trump administration. Because a lot of it is, Clay, we're talking about it more. The media can't squelch these stories the way they used to, thanks to things like X, I might add, formerly Twitter and Elon. This stuff gets out, all the media sees it. You know, it's no longer like Georgia man or Michigan man. Pushes. Oh, you mean a guy who came here from Ecuador who's been deported five times and is like a. Has a long rap sheet of being like a sex criminal? That, that's, that's, you know, Michigan man or Georgia man, or in this case, New York City man. We're all so sick of it. But, Clay, what we're seeing now is Democrats are continuing sanctuary policies, continuing to thwart immigration enforcement of exactly individuals like the guy who threw this veteran and grandfather on the subway tracks. They don't want this to stop just like they didn't want the border to be secure. And then Trump secured it right away. Democrats are all in on. You have. It's a sanctuary for the criminals, it's a sanctuary for the predators. It is not a sanctuary city. It is not a safe place for Americans. They don't want to change that.
Buck Sexton
15 prior charges for this illegal immigrant who killed 83 year old Richard Williams. 15 prior charges. And again, noon, noon on the subway tracks. Buck you can speak to. For people out there who don't know Manhattan, this is in theory, I believe, a pretty safe area. Upper east side, like this is not an area in New York City.
Clay Travis
That's where I grew up. Yeah, it's probably the safest single jurisdiction in all of the five boroughs or close to it. One of the Safest.
Buck Sexton
So if you think about this, noon in one of the safest areas of Manhattan, 83 year old veteran grandpa gets killed by this illegal immigrant that should have never been here. And again, it comes on the heels of what's happened in Chicago. I mean, every day you can wake up and find a story like these. And it is a, you're basically just permitting this to occur.
Clay Travis
But just this, Clay, I just think this is so important. A rational response to an incident like this would be for the Democrat mayor, communist mayor of New York and the prosecutor, the DA District attorney of New York, Alvin Bragg. I mean he's maybe the worst in the entire country by the way, as a prosecutor. But put that aside, the rational human response would be, you know what? We will work when there's somebody who is a violent offender, as this guy was, a repeat offender, as this guy was of previously deported, as this guy was. We will honor ICE detainers, we will work with federal law enforcement. We want to keep all of our illegals washing dishes and cleaning up and doing all that stuff that's, you know, they want to do that, but they'll at least agree with us that we shouldn't have serial predators walking around the streets who are illegals. Clay, they won't do it. They won't budge. They won't even make that exception to the policy. So what else do you have to know? They, this is the cost. 80 year old veteran grandpas getting thrown on the subway tracks in broad daylight in the nicest part of New York City and dying and their family getting that phone call and the community having that shock. This is a price Democrats are willing to have other people pay so that they can have cheap labor and they can feel like they're not racist. That's it. That's where the country is.
Buck Sexton
And it is fairly explicit at this point. Democrats see as their base people who are not citizens of this country. And you have to ask yourself, why do they see these people as their base? Because they want to give them citizenship and believe they will be their base. I mean, that's the game plan. And so in the meantime, a lot of innocent people are being killed by illegal immigrants. And for people out there who say, well what I wish there was a zero murder rate, unfortunately, when you're killed by an American citizen, it is. You can keep them in jail, right? Because most of the times the people who commit murder have long rap sheets. So we're certainly in favor of that. But the rate of illegal immigrant murder of citizens of the United States should be zero. That should not occur. There should not be a single person. And I can't even imagine what it's like to have an. I mean, I've got an 18 year old who's going off to college in August. I can't even imagine the torment for those parents who raise their kid, send her off to college in Chicago, she's walking in a park and she just gets murdered by an illegal immigrant.
Clay Travis
But I think this is so important. Obviously I totally agree with you. I would just add to this. They won't even agree. You're saying that no, there should be no illegals here, so there should be no murders of Americans by illegals. True factual statement. Lock that in. We're talking about illegals who are being arrested for other serious stuff. They are in custody. There are men and women with guns and badges who have them. They have hurt Americans already. And Democrats go, oh, no, we won't help federal law enforcement send you back to your home country. Rapist. We won't help federal law enforcement send you back to where you belong. Murderer. Gang member. I mean this, like I said, we're not talking about 80 year old abuelas who have been here for 30 years, who have done nothing illegal in addition to like this. We're not even, we're miles from that conversation. I think that's just what's so frustrating is that people aren't. Everyone needs to catch up with this. They're, oh, there's an illegal alien with, you know, with a history of, of, of harming children and breaking laws and violence and doing bad stuff. Can't turn him over to ice. Clay. That would be a victory for Trump. Can't do it. Every Democrat jurisdiction of the country with a sanctuary policy, that is their answer. Can't do it. Keep that child predator on the streets. Keep that murderer in your community. Because it makes Chuck Schumer and his and his constituents feel good about themselves. It makes Democrats feel like they're better than you and they just hope that they don't actually get, you know, they don't suffer. It's not their daughter who gets murdered while she's at college. It's not their grandfather who's throwing the railroad tracks. Clay, I have absolutely no patience for this crap whatsoever. This is. Everyone listening to the show knows I get as fired up about this as anything. And every smug Democrat out there who's like, but we're a nation of immigrants. They are just swallowing propaganda and spewing lies. It's nonsense. Total nonsense. All right, Joyous holiday in the Jewish religion is being celebrated next week, Passover. But unless things dramatically change in the Middle east, most Israelis will recognize this holiday under the shadow of war. You've likely seen reports out of Israel. Air raid sirens are heard daily, if not hourly, with civilians constantly running to bomb shelters. Many of the missile and drone attacks are purpose purposely at night. That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews are on the ground in Israel, providing food and emergency supplies, equipping bomb shelters and caring for elderly Holocaust survivors.

Welcome back into Clay and Buck. Let's get to some calls. Here we have Maureen at the Fort Myers Airport wants to talk to us about what the situation is for air travel right now. Go for it.
Reynolds Kitchens Announcer
Maureen, hi, good morning. Thanks for taking my call. I just wanted to tell you the the line wasn't too bad, but the person in line in front of me was saying something like oh, this is such a headache. So the thought came to me what if there were banners and this would be a good campaign slogan for ice. And you have a picture of like a person with a headache. You know, they've got one of those old fashioned ice bags on their head and it says ice reduces the pain. And then you have the logo for ice. And I thought, oh, that might be kind of a clever play on work for the situation. But anyway, I was four hours early, got through the line fine, but then I found out my plane is delayed five hours.
Clay Travis
You arrived four hours early for a domestic flight. How long did it take you to get through TSA?
Reynolds Kitchens Announcer
Not long at all. It only took me about 20 minutes.
Buck Sexton
Well, this. Thank you for. Thank you for the call, Marine. This is the thing that's so frustrating about the TSA situation Box. You can arrive at a normal time, totally miss your flight. So you're trying to arrive early and if the lines are not bad, you're just sitting in the airport for like three and a half or four hours. So anyway, this is just a mess everywhere. We'll keep you updated on how bad TSA is. It's awful in Atlanta, it's awful in Houston, it's awful in New York City, awful in New Orleans, among others. When we come back, Alex Berenson talking about the crime situation. He's got a story you're going to want to hear next.

Episode: Hour 1 - Disgraceful Democrat Shutdown
Date: March 26, 2026
In this episode, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton break down a news-packed Cabinet meeting with President Trump, focusing on the ongoing Democrat-led Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown, the Iran conflict, issues with illegal immigration, rising crime tied to immigration policy, and reactions from both hosts and callers. The tone is candid, energetic, and heavily critical of Democratic policies, with significant attention given to the human impact of the federal stalemate and recent crime cases.
| Timestamp | Speaker | Quote | |-----------|----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 04:45 | Donald Trump | “No, he’s a friend of mine. He's a great gentleman... I’m proud of him. He's fighting a tough battle. He's tough.” | | 07:00 | Donald Trump | “The Democrats hate our country. The Democrats are in chaos right now and they have no common sense. You know, they have one quality that's amazing. They stick together.” | | 10:00 | Donald Trump | “I'm the only president that ever took a cognitive test. I took it three times. It's actually a very hard test for a lot of people. It wasn't hard for me, but it's a cognitive test.” | | 12:22 | Donald Trump | “26 days in, we're extremely, really a lot ahead of schedule. The Iranian regime is now admitting… they have been decisively defeated.” | | 13:54 | Donald Trump | “All in the quest to return to open borders and give amnesty to illegal alien criminals. But we're not going to let it happen.” | | 23:06 | Buck Sexton | “They're fine with you having to stand in line and have significant issues getting on an airplane… They are of the opinion that the illegal immigrants that are here should not be taken out of the country.” | | 31:08 | Clay Travis | “A four-time previously deported Honduran illegal immigrant has been charged with murder after he allegedly shoved an 83-year-old US Air Force veteran onto subway tracks in New York City’s Upper East Side.” | | 33:02 | Buck Sexton | "During the Biden years...Democrats wanted an open border... They're pretending ‘oh, it's about asylum’... They're not asylum seekers, they're scammers.” | | 36:23 | Buck Sexton | “A rational response to an incident like this would be for the Democrat mayor, communist mayor of New York and the prosecutor... We will honor ICE detainers, we will work with federal law enforcement. They won't do it. They won't budge." | | 39:04 | Clay Travis | “You're saying that no, there should be no illegals here, so there should be no murders of Americans by illegals. True factual statement. Lock that in.” |
The conversation is brisk, opinionated, and mixes news analysis with pointed humor. Both hosts are deeply critical of Democrats, especially regarding immigration and law enforcement policy, while lauding Trump’s leadership style and policy track record. Quotes are liberally interjected, showing both Trump’s off-the-cuff style and the hosts’ tendency to underscore points with vivid, sometimes darkly comic, anecdotes.
This episode delivers a comprehensive, real-time reaction to President Trump’s remarks and uses them as a springboard to discuss pressing partisan divides over border security, immigration enforcement, and public safety. The personal stories highlighted powerfully underscore the show’s stance on the tangible costs of what the hosts frame as radical Democratic policy, all presented in Clay and Buck’s signature blend of banter and directness.
