Goodbye third hour of Clay and buck. Last hour before send you off for what will hopefully be absolutely wonderful weekends. I really do love this time of year. I'm a big fan of October, November, nationwide. You have the excitement of the holidays in the mix. You have end of year stuff. You get into the Thanksgiving and then Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's season, parties, gatherings, maybe a little too much good food, but all that stuff coming together. So I think it's a great time of year and I think that we have as Thanksgiving is approaching a much to be thankful for this year in general as individuals and as, as people, but also as, as a country. I think overall, as I've said, despite the call we got before and I had a furrowed brow, as did Clay when we heard that one of our callers who claimed to be a Trump voter gave Trump an F for this year. I mean, I just think that's honestly an absurd grade. People are entitled to their opinion. I just am entitled to disagree with it. I think Trump has done a phenomenal job this year. I think the country is in such better shape. I think back to what it was like as I sit here now, Miamified, a little lean and mean with an aerodynamic haircut. 100 mile an hour plus serve. 103, let's call it what it is, 103 mile an hour serve. Probably could get to 105, maybe even 110 before the end of the year. But we'll talk about that another time. I remember what it was like during the pandemic, the Biden years in New York. You know, I look like Teen Wolf basically. You know, I had crazy hair, couldn't shave or you know, couldn't get a haircut. I could shave, couldn't get a haircut, couldn't go anywhere, couldn't do anything. And the country had just devolved into madness. Madness. So just take stock of the good days. I think it's so important. And I think that the, the positive thinking that we can all engage in every day, every day is an opportunity to do the best things you can that day, to make yourself a little bit better and to, to be grateful for your blessings. And I think as a nation, as a country, we have a lot of blessings right now. One of them, though, is not a government that is currently open. I must call that like it is. We do not have a government that is open. And you have Trump clearly agitated and also clearly not going to budge, agitated with the Democrats and their lies on this one. The shutdown is. This is a Democrat shutdown. They did this. There is no other argument. There's no two ways about it. They prevented the funding of the government because they have a demand that is outside the scope of a continuing resolution, which is that funding that they had already approved. So they're trying to retrade the deal at the end. They're the ones that decided, oh, I'm going to buy your house for $400,000. Actually, I'm only going to close if you give me. If you give it to me for 350. Right. They're the ones that are basically breaking the standard order of things here and deciding we're not going to have a government. Trump sees this very clearly. Here he is in cut six. Lay it down.
Caller
The shutdown is caused by the Democrats. And we're not going to spend a trillion dollars or one and a half trillion dollars on health care for people that came into our country illegally, many of them from prisons and many of them drug dealers and murderers. 11,888 murderers. We're not doing that, so we'll see about that. We shouldn't. They should have, as they've done always in the past. It should have just been extended. It could have been extended very easily.
Buck Sexton
It could have been extended very easily. They chose not to. They chose not to. And now they're pretending like they did not make that choice. This is one of the things I find so frustrating about Democrats by trying to debate them, trying to deal with them. They won't even stand behind the decisions they make. So how can we get to a place of accountability and better decision making? They do something and say, I did not do that thing. And we know they did it, but they just refuse. They just say no. And it's, I think, at that point now where we should all understand the challenges that exist because of this shutdown. I hope you are not trying to fly somewhere this weekend. Our, our buddy Clay is trying to get to the airport and get up in the sky. It's so nice of the pilots are going to help Clay escape New York. It does feel like Escape from New York is that I'm going to share something with you guys now that I wasn't expecting to, but I feel like it's third hour. It's a Friday. We're in the sharing zone. I'm a Kurt Russell fan. I love Tombstone. Big trouble in Little China. There's a whole bunch of movies. Kurt Russell, big fan. I have never seen Escape from New York. I bet producer Mark and producer Greg, producer Mike. You've all seen it, right? Is it good? Should I make Kerry watch this with me? I might have. Oh, there's ah. There's a little bit of hesitation there, guys. Okay, okay. A little bit of hesitation. You know, I was out to so that. Thank you. Thank you for saving me from perhaps a Friday night of my wife going, this movie is not good. Why are you making me watch this? I was out with a dinner with a good friend last night and his wife and Carrie and I was. And his son was there. His son is about 10 years old. And we were just talking, all of us at the table, and I realized I'm already. I am envious that my friend is at that point with his son Speed still. He can say mama. He can say mama. That's it. He says it a lot Now. Mama gets a lot of. She has to move around the apartment real fast here and get to the baby. She can say mama. But my friend gets to start introducing his son to the movies that my generation, our generation thinks were great. Because those are the great movies. They aren't making great movies anymore. They really aren't. I mean, they'll make a decent one here or there occasionally. But really overall, and especially if you're talking about history and war movies, things like that, the great movies were made in the earlier part of my lifetime. So I hope one day I get to sit there with Speed and be like, well, son, it's time for you to see Ghostbusters for the first time. Or it's time for you to see Saving Private Ryan or Gladiator or any of these movies that hold up really, really well. So anyway, so that's all fun. Back to the shutdown madness and what is going on there? So, yeah, Clay is. Trump's trying to escape from New York. Clay is trying to escape from New York, which might be more interesting today than even the movie was. It's going to be a mess. It is a mess. At these airports. And Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, you know, that's one of those jobs that you take. And I know I knew him when he was Congressman Duffy a little bit, but Sean and his wife are. They're such nice people. Truly. All of you would really like Sean and his wife. They're just really, really good, nice people. I think they have nine kids, too. They're such good, kind, wholesome people. But Transportation Secretary is one of those jobs where no one's really. I think I'm just speaking the truth here. No one's really thinking a lot about what the Transportation Secretary's up until. There's a problem, right? It's a crisis situation. People are, you know, wondering what's going on. And he's saying, look, he's doing what he can. The money's gone. They've shut down the government. The Democrats have shut down the government. And so there are limitations here. This is cut 10. Secretary of Transportation Duffy. Play it. If I have people who want to.
Fox News Announcer
Second guess what we're doing, why we're doing it, I've done all I can to minimize disruption in the airspace. I'm trying to get people where they want to go and get them there safely.
Buck Sexton
If people want to question us, I would throw it back at them, open up the government.
Fox News Announcer
You know, we have to take unprecedented action is because we are in an.
Buck Sexton
Unprecedented situation with a shutdown.
Fox News Announcer
And so, again, I have a number one job of keeping people safe.
Buck Sexton
I've looked at data. I want to be preemptive, and I want to make sure people are safe in the system. By the way, this is not a political decision. We did this with the safety team at the faa.
Fox News Announcer
We did it with the administrator of the faa. As that data came in, we decided.
Buck Sexton
To, you know, make the decisions that we thought were appropriate. They don't really have a choice. And this is going to get worse, too. This isn't a temporary thing insofar as until the government comes back on the shortages, the overextended work hours and work schedule for these individuals, it's all gonna just continue on and actually be exacerbated with time. So there needs to be a change here. There needs to be something done. And I think that that's it's coming. But Democrats are trying to find some way to pull out a political win here. And I don't know how they do it. And Republicans, if Republicans cave on this, what we will have seen without any question in a way that is so clear and so obvious that everyone would see, would mean that just Democrats have stiffer spines in the Senate than Republicans do. When push comes to shove, that's it. Democrats hold together, they hold the line. Republicans get weak. Get weak on this issue. Something else, you know, Clay and I were talking about this in the first hour a bit and it has to do with the concerns about prices. Here is Trump, this is cut five. He's saying, look everybody, I understand prices are high. The things that we generally measure that you can affect with government policy in, in a relatively short term way, they are doing well, like gas prices and things, they are coming down. But it's not a perfect situation. It's never going to be a perfect situation. Cut five, here's Trump.
Caller
I don't want to hear about the affordability because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon. Gasoline with Biden, it was $4.50, $5. Another thing, inflation. We had the worst inflation in the history of our country. Now we have virtually no inflation at all. It's down at a very low number and a very normal number. So the affordability is much better with the Republicans. The only problem is the Republicans don't talk about it. And Republicans should start talking about it and use their heads because we have great numbers, we have great. And they're going to only get better.
Buck Sexton
I think that people really do need to remember what it was like with the Biden team in charge because not only were things bad, they were only going to get worse. There has to be some moment of gratitude here where it's thank heavens Trump survived two assassination attempts, four criminal prosecutions, multiple civil destruction suits of him that were all just completely unfair. All that stuff and the media and Russia, collusion and the insurrection, all these things trying to take him off the ballot illegally, all the things that he did. If that hadn't happened, happened, you would have a Biden or Kamala. I mean, if Biden hadn't done what he did, you know, maybe he would still, but you would have had a Democrat administration making all this stuff worse. Making all this stuff worse. So while I understand the affordability issue is still hurting people and the cost of the stuff you need to live your day to day lives is still higher than we would all like it to be. It is moving in the right direction, no question. And it is so much better than it would be. The same situation, the same cost, the receipts that you're looking at right now, all of that would be so much worse if Trump hadn't won and Saved us from the madness of a Democrat party that never learns the lesson. It is so frustrating. Democrats do not learn the lesson on crime. They do not learn the lesson on the border and they certainly don't learn any lessons when it comes to economics. Just take more from people who make it, give more to people who don't. Print more money with the Treasury. Get the Fed to just start, you know, just get the printing presses going and see what happens. It's all make believe anyway. There's nothing really underneath all this money. There's no actual products or productivity. It's whatever we say it is. That is the Democrat view and it is so destructive. So again, look at where we are, how things are actually going and the decisions that are being made. We have an America that is at peace, an America that is prosperous, an America that has secured its borders, that cities are getting safer, that does not have the same cultural and DEI and crazy insanity when it comes to colleges and when it comes to every aspect of our culture. Things are getting better and it's going to take time. We need to stay focused, stay on it and stay supportive of the mission here. Yes, there are some things to critique. Yes, there are some aspects of this administration that you could say, I wish they had done this. I wish there was more transparency in that. But let's keep it real, folks. It's been an incredible go so far for Trump year one, and I think we're just in the. Well, we are clearly in the opening innings because it's just the first year.

Goodbye.
Buck Sexton
Goodbye. Welcome back into Clay and Buck. We got calls, we got VIP emails, we got talkbacks. Light us up on all of the above. I definitely want to get to a bunch of them as we're closing out our third hour here in a little bit. And Bob in Texas, what have you got for us?
Caller
Hi. Yeah, first I want to say thank you to Clay for all that price pick money he's wanted. Me and my main topic was air traffic controllers. The airports are obviously getting some nasty PR by like that letter they had to send to Clay. Why aren't they ponying up the money to pay these guys temporarily like that millionaire did for our army, our billionaire and then make a deal with Trump to get the money back when everybody gets their act together?
Buck Sexton
Oh man, that's, that sounds good. But it's probably far more forward leaning and skillful than the people involved in these decisions are going to be able to pull off anything like that. Yeah, I don't know. Thank you for calling in. I think that this is gonna get, it's gonna get messy at the airports for a while now. It's gonna be a real problem. So something that we all have to keep in mind, we got some VIP emails here. VIP email from John. Escape from New York is one of John Carpenter's finest films. Kurt Russell is amazing in it as well. It is a great look at the future that we will all soon have under Democrat control. I, I don't know guys. I'm, I'm iffy on this one. I might have to go watch the trailer. I, I feel like I can tell 90% of the time after watching a trailer whether I'll like a movie or not. Meaning 9 out of 10 times. If I thought I'd like it based on the trailer, I do. If I thought I wouldn't like it and I saw it, for some reason I don't. So we'll see. VIP email from Steve. So far I give Trump an A grade for A plus. He needs to assemble business leaders to raise money for payroll loans to keep the airlines and controllers working. Kind of like what our caller was just talking about, by the way, the way these cancellations are costing much more. Mr. President, tear down this shutdown. Yes, I think that this is going to test not just the Republicans resolve but also the solution finding of this White House to the degree that they can patch things up until the government gets reopened. Like I said, more calls, more talkbacks, more thoughts on everything going on today coming up here momentarily. But I want you to feel safe in your home and a really, really critical way to do that is to have the right self defense tools. Now a lot of you are firearms owners. You've got two way, you've got that protection at home and I certainly am one and I believe in that. But I also believe in having non lethal options at my disposal too when the situation calls for that. And my wife prefers non lethal for self defense. Pepper spray, pepper gel, pepper projectile launchers. Sabre has safeguarded hundreds of thousands of Americans with their non lethal self and home defense products. Their pepper projectile launcher could just be your best choice. They've got a bundle that you can go check out that'll get you everything you need including practice rounds for it packs a serious non lethal punch. Go to sabrerradio.coms a b r e radio.com say 15% of that website, that's saberradio.com or call 844-824 safe 844-824 saf all right, welcome back in the little ass buck. Anything? We might be getting a call from Clay any minute but you can call and ask me whatever you want. How about that? It's Friday and we're having a good time here. You like I said, Clay might be ringing us from the airport to let us know what kind of chaos, what kind of a mess it has all turned into. There it is. It is tough. It is not going well here with the shutdown situation. J.D. vance, this is 25. J.D. vance is saying now the pain start. It's one thing to have a shutdown for a few days a week, 10 days. Now there's real consequences to this stuff.
J.D. Vance
Play 25 the American people are unfortunately about to start suffering some very real consequences because of the shutdown. In the past when you had a government shutdown, you would have go under the Obama administration. They would lean into all of the problems it was going to cause for the American people. At the beginning of the shutdown. The President has told us to keep as much going as humanly possible. But after 30 days of this thing, 40 days of this thing, you're going to start seeing very real travel delays. That's because the Democrat government shut down. You're going to start seeing snap benefits run out. That's because the Democrat government shut down. They should stop the charade and open up the government. That's what we want them to do. We've been asking to do it for 40 days.
Buck Sexton
It's time. Why not just open the government up and then say, hey guys, we also have to fix the Obamacare exchanges by funneling billions of dollars of subsidies to them afterwards. Do they really think that Republicans are going to allow people to have $40,000 a year in expense for some of these Obamacare approved plans, which is what some of these plans are going to cost for a family of four. Just completely unaffordable stuff. I mean, stuff that will destroy people's finances. What you'll have is a lot of people will refuse to get insurance. And remember, we don't have those Obamacare fines anymore. Right. They got rid of that. So you'll just have a lot of people who go uninsured. Isn't that the great irony of this? Obamacare will have made health insurance so expensive that without billions of dollars of subsidies showered on it to just artificially make people think the price has been decreased. Obamacare, the Affordable Care act will have made health care so unaffordable that people will choose not to have it. That's, that's going to become the legacy of the aca. I think at some level Democrats recognize this is going to be a problem for them them, this is going to be a problem for their party because this is still the single most transformational, unfortunately in a very bad way, piece of legislation that the Democrat Party has managed to get through. I'm probably in 20 something years, I don't know, you have to go back quite a while. The other big things the Democrats have gotten that are wins are all just judicial fiat. Right? It's the Supreme Court before the Trump appointees came on board handing them, and in some cases even with the Trump appointees handing Democrats the policy victories they could have never gotten at the ballot box. And so there we have it. Oh, speaking of judges, you also have this judge now who has ruled this is what the administration must do on SNAP Food stamps notice. Why would they change?
Caller
This isn't.
Buck Sexton
This is meaningful. Why is it the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program? Why not just call it food stamps? What's. What's wrong with that? Or you even call it something like food aid. You know, why do we have to call it supplemented? We come up with this science Y sounding. The Supplemental Nutritional Assistance, it's buying free food for people. It is food welfare. Now, there are reasons. When people can be down on their luck, things happen. I get it. I do not think that we should have no safety net. Well, if anything, we should have a safety net where we take care of each other and our decency. And charity as Americans means that nobody would ever go hungry because we don't allow them to. But I'm not opposed to a safety net. And I understand that things can be difficult and people have challenges, but I also think we should call things what they are. I also think that when you're giving food welfare, we should know as a people that's what it is. You hear that term welfare a lot less. All these bureaucracies also that administer this stuff don't want people to think of what they're doing as welfare because then they realize that this is their money that's just being handed to people. And also, the bureaucracies are very wasteful and very bloated. So they remember the bureaucracies take a cut because it's government money going through government hands to get to the people who are getting it for free. So, yeah, we should call it food stamps. The same way they don't want you to think of illegal alien, somebody who is not American, not supposed to be in the country, undocumented. What does undocumented even mean? It's really a meaningless term. The problem is that they lack a document. No, the problem is that they're illegally in the United States and they're in violation of our laws. So these things do matter. The way we talk about this does make a difference. But on the snap ruling, because this is. Now that's the official government term for it, maybe Trump should change that. Call it. Call it food welfare. What's wrong with that? All the different welfare forms we have, I might add, you know, people refer to Section 8 housing, for example. What does that mean? That could be anything. Section 8 housing. We don't call the Medicaid. We don't call anything really. I mean, there's probably some exceptions, but we don't call things welfare anymore because it's always supposed to be hidden from the American people and the taxpayer. The size and scope of the free stuff that we are giving to people in a country where half the country pays no income tax whatsoever. That's, that's not a good and sustainable program, is it? Here's Vance on the the judge's ruling about how this is just a judge saying this is what the federal government must do. Now the government shut down on food stamps. Play 26.
J.D. Vance
It's an absurd ruling because you have a federal judge effectively telling us what we have to do in the midst of a Democrat government shutdown, which what we'd like to do is for the Democrats to open up the government. Of course, then we can fund snap and we can also do a lot of other good things for the American people. But in the midst of a shutdown, we can't have a federal court telling the president how he has to triage the situation. We're trying to keep as much turned on. We're trying to keep as much going as possible. The president and the entire administration are working on that. But we're not going to do it under the orders of a federal judge. We're going to do it according to what we think we have to do to comply with the law, of course, but also to actually make the government work for people in the midst of the Democrat government shutdown.
Buck Sexton
I mean, what if the judge just said the Democrats, I've got a better idea. Hey, judge, whatever, you know, Obama or Biden or maybe, maybe probably not Clinton, that's going back too far. But Obama, Biden, judge, this is. Order the Democrats to reopen the government. How. Why don't we try that one? If we're just going to become king for a day as a federal judge, let's just have the government reopened by the fiat of a judge. Just trample on, trample on the executive. I mean the legislative branches, prerogative, just forget about all that. You're the judge, you're the emperor in the black robes and just do your thing. There's way too much of this, way too much of this stuff going on to try to stop this administration, to order around this administration, to dictate to the Trump team from these judges. And notice that Trump, just the way he handles it is to go to court. Go through the process, go through the process. That's not how kings do things for the no kings protest. Honestly, I don't know how people, I don't Know how you can take yourself seriously if you go to a no kings Protestant. Oh, no kings. It is so pathetic. But people would rather continue to be sanctimonious and wrong than be self effacing and right. So common. Unfortunately, it's so common. I hate being wrong. Clay and I share this. We both, if we get any fact wrong, anything we say, when I say wrong, inaccurate, right. Predictions. You know, you win some, you lose some. We like to have fun with predictions, but I was. No one can predict the future. So that's. That is what it is. That's more of a parlor game than anything else. But accuracy really counts. Accuracy really matters. It bothers me to be inaccurate, but also analysis. If I'm really wrong on a point of analysis, I try to go back, admit that first off, and then try to understand why. The great part about being a Democrat is never admitting you're wrong, never admitting that your policies are dumb, that your ideas are idiotic, that it's destructive, that you make everything worse for everyone, including yourself, with most of the things that you want to have happen. You know, the walk back from climate change is the biggest existential threat in the world, which is happening a little bit quietly, but with Bill Gates and others, too. Why aren't they making more movies about how I'm in Florida. Go try to get a deal on Florida. Florida beachfront real estate right now. Okay? Especially given what just happened in New York. Go try to get a deal, say somebody. You know what? I'm gonna help you out. You're right here on the beach, very close to those rising oceans. I'm gonna give you 20% of what you think this place is worth. I'll take it off your hands, see what happens. Let me. Let me know how that goes for you. Of course, it was all nonsense. It was all lies. They were all wrong. All that climate change stuff is absurd, and yet they never have to stop and think. You know what? Hmm. Maybe there's a problem there. Same thing with the government shutdown, I might add. As soon as we end this government shutdown, or rather it ends, Democrats are going to pretend like this wasn't a thing that they did, and the suffering that people had because of it was not their fault. They're just going to lie about all of it. And lies. Unfortunately, as they're very destructive, they're also very powerful. Lies are a very effective tool of power because if you can always lie to people about what you do, you can never be held responsible for what you do. And therefore you can convince the masses of whatever you need to to stay in power just by lying to them. That's why when Gavin Newsom said he hates politicians who lie, everyone across the country with an IQ above 50 was like laughing out loud. But Gavin doth protest too much on that one. We're gonna close out with calls, talkbacks, VIPs, all that good stuff coming up here momentarily. And also to tell you here about Legacy Box, which is honestly just awesome.

Also played D1 tennis, he says so. He was one of my coaches behind the scenes here with John Isner, the greatest server of all time in terms of speed and maybe just in general. And here is Mr. Ben Ferguson on my 103 mile an hour serve. Win. Play. B.B. buck. Welcome to the 100 mile club. I never had any doubts as your friend and and leg mentor. I just want to be very clear about that. Now, Clay, let's be honest. He had his doubts. There's a lot of others out there that had their doubts. Maybe even family members of yours that had their doubts. But I personally knew what a stellar athlete you were. You're not just a brilliant mind. You had it in you. We just had to find it. So. 103. Congratulations. We still have, you know, hills to climb. 108. That's going to be the next one. Okay, 108. Job well done. And we'll, we'll keep just driving those legs. Got to get you a leg press for the, for the studio in between commercial breaks. Maybe we can get it sponsored. Congratulations. You know, maybe I'm going to get 110 before the end of the year. You know, I'm not trying to get a little, little, A little too highfalutin here. Maybe 110. 110 miles an hour. We'll see. But I'm not making any promises. That 110 is really fast. I'm not making any promises on that one. Now we have, oh, Chris Knowles, the great Chris Knowles, a producer and friend of mine from Newsmax. A a Play it, Buck. It's your boy, Chris. And I gotta tell you, that is a rocket of a serve. Not that I ever doubted you, but I mean power and precision, all while maintaining your. Your boyish good looks and charms. I personally, I don't know how Clay recovers from this. I sure as hell know that he'll never be able to return something like that. Congratulations.
J.D. Vance
I knew you could do it.
Buck Sexton
Thank you, Mr. Chris Knowles. I appreciate you, sir. I would also say all that, all that I require here for Mr. Clay is an Alcatraz swim. Now, you know, I did my. I did my physical challenge. Challenge accepted, challenge met. And I am looking forward to being in the little launch boat that is there to make sure that Clay is safe. Make sure that when the sharks get close, I'm not going to do anything about it. But I'm going to say, Clay, there's a shark, so I'm going to help him out. I'm looking out for my buddy there. I'm. Hey, Clay, I think that might be a great white. It's about 10 yards behind you, so go a little faster. I will be there for him and make sure that he at least has a fighting chance to make it back to land from Alcatraz. That's the kind of guy, that's the kind of co host I am caller RD from Oklahoma. He's on furlough as a federal employee. What's up, R.D.
Caller
Hey, Buck. Thanks for taking my call, sir. Good afternoon. So, yeah, I'm a furloughed fellow employee here in Oklahoma, and I'm just calling to, to. To encourage our Republican friends to hold the line. Senator Stone and Johnson, and you guys are doing a great job. Do not bend. Do not give anything. Don't show weakness. Keep doing it. Those of us who, most of us here understand that this is a Democratic shutdown. And the Republicans, even if you, even if they offer something, they're not going to accept it anyway. So that's number one. Number two, the jack wagon that called in a little over an hour ago and gave the President an F. You obviously, you don't know how government works. That's number one. Number two, how short your memory is. Let's go back just two, three years ago. Even. Just even a year ago. And look at gas prices. Look at the price of eggs. And the president can't do it in 10 months. It took four years to screw it up a little longer. And so it's going to take a little longer to fix it. But he's doing a great job. I gave him an A plus.
Buck Sexton
Thank you. All right, fantastic, my friend. Thank you for calling it. By the way, a lot of our Clay and Buck truckers have been saying, look at diesel prices because that's something doesn't get talked about nearly enough. But diesel prices are pretty high right now, 375A gallon. And that is something that also factors in to a lot of what we see with the cost of goods and services and everything else because obviously without truckers, the whole country comes to a halt. So I'm going to play some tennis this weekend, be putting some fire out there on the court with the serve. It's going to be good times everybody. Thank you for all the believers and for all the doubters and the haters. I love you too.

Episode: Hour 3 – The Great Irony
Date: November 7, 2025
Podcast Host: Buck Sexton (with Clay Travis calling in, references to previous hours)
Network: iHeartPodcasts
In this episode's third hour, Buck Sexton (with references to co-host Clay Travis) dissects the ongoing government shutdown, lays blame at the feet of Democrats, and explores the broader implications for travel, everyday Americans, and the future of health care and welfare. The tone remains upbeat but critical, with characteristic humor, personal anecdotes, and energetic back-and-forth with callers and VIP emails. The show also touches on the rising cost of living, the legacy of Trump’s first year post-reelection, supply chain issues, and cultural observations.
“The shutdown is caused by the Democrats. And we're not going to spend a trillion dollars or one and a half trillion...on health care for people that came into our country illegally... so we'll see about that.” (06:19)
In “The Great Irony,” Buck Sexton (with frequent references to co-host Clay Travis) delivers an impassioned critique of the ongoing government shutdown, holding Democrats responsible and praising Trump’s leadership in his first year back in office. The show highlights the painful effects on air travel and welfare programs, the failures of Obamacare, and courts overstepping their bounds. Listeners and VIPs weigh in with support for tougher Republican resolve, while Buck keeps the tone lively with personal stories, humor, and audience engagement. The “great irony” is reserved for Obamacare: a program sold as “affordable” now requires endless subsidies to function—exposing, in Buck’s view, the pitfalls of government intervention unchecked by accountability.
