Daily Review With Clay and Buck - Jun 16 2025 - The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

No Kings Nonsense Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis broadcasting solo from Washington, D.C., while Buck Sexton is in Cannes, France, meeting with major advertisers—a testament to the show's growing influence and reach. Clay reflects on the show's evolution and the recent surge in advertiser interest, highlighting the disconnect between mainstream brands and the show's massive, engaged audience. The hour delves into a wide range of topics, beginning with Clay’s personal experience spending Father’s Day at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum with his son. He draws a powerful parallel between the Wright brothers’ pioneering spirit and the current stagnation in American innovation, emphasizing how figures like Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are reigniting the nation’s exploratory ambition—particularly in space travel and technological advancement. The Left Has Lost the Plot Clay contrasts two major events in Washington over the weekend: a military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and the “No Kings” protest opposing President Trump. He critiques the protestors’ historical ignorance, arguing that the military’s role in defeating monarchy and establishing American democracy is being overlooked. He underscores how President Trump’s celebration of American history and military tradition stands in stark contrast to the left’s emotionally driven, media-fueled opposition. The discussion also touches on the cultural and educational decline, using George Washington University’s decision to drop the “Colonials” mascot as a case study in historical misunderstanding. Clay argues that this trend reflects a broader societal failure to teach and preserve accurate American history. Throughout the hour, Clay emphasizes the importance of authenticity in leadership and media, asserting that President Trump’s transparency and consistency have strengthened his support, especially among younger voters. He also warns against political violence, condemning recent threats and attacks, and urges listeners to engage through peaceful, democratic means. A Message to Iran Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with reflections on the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade and the “No Kings” protest, which Clay critiques as historically misguided. He emphasizes the importance of the American Revolution and the colonial army in securing freedom from monarchy, drawing a contrast between celebratory patriotism and modern anti-establishment demonstrations. Clay then shifts to a deep dive into California’s demographic and political transformation, highlighting the state’s historical evolution from sparsely populated territory to a booming state post-Gold Rush. He critiques progressive narratives that challenge U.S. sovereignty over California, particularly those that emphasize its Mexican and Spanish colonial past, and argues that such views ignore the role of Native Americans and historical context. The episode’s central theme revolves around escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Iran. Clay discusses the aftermath of the October 7 attacks and the surge in antisemitic hate crimes in the U.S., citing data from The New York Times. He strongly supports Israel’s military response and frames the conflict as a battle between good and evil, with Israel and President Trump on the side of freedom and democracy. A major segment features Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s interview with Brett Baier, where Netanyahu confirms that Iran attempted to assassinate President Trump twice. This revelation underscores Trump’s status as a primary adversary of the Iranian regime and a staunch defender of Middle Eastern freedom. Clay also plays audio from Iranian state television and Israeli officials, inclu
