Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Sep 8 2025

ENOUGH!

A breakdown of one of the most disturbing crime stories in recent memory: the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte light rail train. Buck Sexton, hosting solo while Clay Travis is off for the day, leads with this tragic incident, emphasizing its significance as a national story that mainstream media outlets have largely ignored.

The segment opens with commentary on President Donald Trump's remarks at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., where he addressed the Charlotte stabbing and broader issues of violent crime in Democrat-run cities. Buck highlights the systemic failures that allowed the alleged killer, Decarlos Brown Jr. —a career criminal with 13 prior arrests—to remain free despite repeated offenses, including assaults on women. The show critiques progressive criminal justice policies, particularly no-cash bail and leniency toward repeat offenders, arguing that these policies directly contribute to rising urban crime rates.

Manufacturing Delusion

Buck previews his upcoming book, Manufacturing Delusion: How the Left Uses Brainwashing, Indoctrination, and Propaganda Against You, which explores how totalitarian regimes and modern leftist movements alike manipulate legal systems and public perception to consolidate power. This sets the stage for a detailed critique of the recent appeals court decision upholding the $83 million defamation judgment against President Donald Trump in the E. Jean Carroll case. Buck argues that the ruling is not only excessive but emblematic of a broader effort to weaponize the legal system against political opponents. He underscores how New York’s temporary extension of the statute of limitations enabled the lawsuit, calling it a targeted and unethical maneuver designed to punish Trump retroactively.

The hour also highlights a significant legal victory for the Trump administration, as the Supreme Court lifts a lower court’s restraining order that had blocked federal immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles. Buck credits Trump’s judicial appointments for preserving constitutional sanity and preventing the judiciary from becoming a tool of the anti-Trump resistance. This decision, he argues, reinforces the importance of conservative control over the courts, especially in the face of ongoing efforts to undermine immigration enforcement and national sovereignty.

We've Noticed

 the failure of progressive criminal justice policies and the media’s selective outrage. Buck Sexton opens the hour by revisiting the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, emphasizing the media blackout surrounding the case despite its viral spread on social media. He argues that the mainstream media, including outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post, deliberately ignore stories that don’t align with their ideological narrative—particularly when the racial dynamics of a crime don’t fit the preferred script. Sexton contrasts this with the wall-to-wall coverage of cases like George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, and Jussie Smollett, asserting that the media only amplifies stories that can be framed as examples of systemic racism or white-on-black violence.

The hour expands to include another tragic case: the stabbing death of Dr. Julie Gard Schnuelle, a former Auburn University veterinary professor, who was murdered while walking her dog in Alabama. Sexton draws a direct line between these two cases—both involving white female victims and black male suspects with extensive criminal histories—and the broader failures of the justice system. He argues that these are not isolated incidents but symptoms of a systemic refusal to incarcerate dangerous repeat offenders due to ideological commitments to social justice, racial equity, and decarceration. Sexton calls for a national reckoning on crime, demanding that public safety take precedence over political correctness.

President Trump’s recent remarks are also featured prominently in this hour. Trump condemns cashless bail policies and vows to take federal action to restore law and order in cities like Chicago. Sexton praises Trump’s tough-on-crime stance and frames it as a necessary corrective to the chaos unleashed by progressive prosecutors and Democrat-run cities. 

Heather Mac Donald 

Heather Mac Donald, author of The War on Cops and When Race Trumps Merit, reinforces Sexton’s arguments with data and analysis. Mac Donald cites a 2023 study from the National Academy of Sciences showing that black-on-white violence is far more common than the reverse, yet receives far less media attention. She criticizes the criminal justice system for prioritizing the rights of offenders over the safety of law-abiding citizens and calls for the construction of more j

Hour 1 - Democrat Crickets 

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and emotionally charged breakdown of one of the most disturbing crime stories in recent memory: the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte light rail train. Buck Sexton, hosting solo while Clay Travis is off for the day, leads with this tragic incident, emphasizing its significance as a national story that mainstream media outlets have largely ignored.

The segment opens with commentary on President Donald Trump's remarks at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., where he addressed the Charlotte stabbing and broader issues of violent crime in Democrat-run cities. Buck highlights the systemic failures that allowed the alleged killer, Decarlos Brown Jr. —a career criminal with 13 prior arrests—to remain free despite repeated offenses, including assaults on women. The show critiques progressive criminal justice policies, particularly no-cash bail and leniency toward repeat offenders, arguing that these policies directly contribute to rising urban crime rates.

Throughout the hour, Buck contrasts the media's silence on this case with its past coverage of racially charged incidents like the Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown cases. He accuses outlets like The New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN of selectively amplifying stories that fit a left-wing narrative while ignoring crimes that challenge their ideological framework. The show also explores the role of social justice ideology in undermining law enforcement and public safety, citing examples of judges and prosecutors who prioritize restorative justice over accountability.

Listeners are encouraged to consider the broader implications of unchecked crime, the erosion of law and order, and the politicization of the justice system. Buck calls for renewed support for police, tougher sentencing for repeat offenders, and even judicial accountability through impeachment where warranted.

Hour 2 - Manufacturing Delusion

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a forceful continuation of the program’s central themes—judicial overreach, political lawfare, and the cultural consequences of progressive ideology. Buck Sexton opens the hour by previewing his upcoming book, Manufacturing Delusion: How the Left Uses Brainwashing, Indoctrination, and Propaganda Against You, which explores how totalitarian regimes and modern leftist movements alike manipulate legal systems and public perception to consolidate power. This sets the stage for a detailed critique of the recent appeals court decision upholding the $83 million defamation judgment against President Donald Trump in the E. Jean Carroll case. Buck argues that the ruling is not only excessive but emblematic of a broader effort to weaponize the legal system against political opponents. He underscores how New York’s temporary extension of the statute of limitations enabled the lawsuit, calling it a targeted and unethical maneuver designed to punish Trump retroactively.

The hour also highlights a significant legal victory for the Trump administration, as the Supreme Court lifts a lower court’s restraining order that had blocked federal immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles. Buck credits Trump’s judicial appointments for preserving constitutional sanity and preventing the judiciary from becoming a tool of the anti-Trump resistance. This decision, he argues, reinforces the importance of conservative control over the courts, especially in the face of ongoing efforts to undermine immigration enforcement and national sovereignty.

Listeners weigh in through talkbacks, with one caller from New York pointing out the absurdity of gun laws that criminalize law-abiding citizens while allowing repeat offenders to walk free. Buck echoes this sentiment, sharing personal anecdotes about the draconian nature of New York’s firearm regulations and the broader hypocrisy of progressive criminal justice policies. Another caller from Denver urges Republicans to mobilize for the midterms to take back Congress and begin impeaching activist judges. Buck agrees, but warns that ideological tribalism and performative activism among Democrat voters remain significant obstacles to reform.

The hour concludes with a discussion of President Trump’s recent speech at the Museum of the Bible, where he announced the creation of a Department of Justice task force to combat anti-Christian bias. Buck praises this initiative as a long-overdue response to the institutional hostility toward religious conservatives, particularly in academia and elite cultural institutions. He draws a parallel between modern DEI officers and Soviet political commissars, arguing that the left has embedded ideological enforcers throughout American institutions to suppress dissent and punish wrongthink.

Hour 3 - No Longer Random 

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and emotionally charged continuation of the day’s dominant theme: the failure of progressive criminal justice policies and the media’s selective outrage. Buck Sexton opens the hour by revisiting the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, emphasizing the media blackout surrounding the case despite its viral spread on social media. He argues that the mainstream media, including outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post, deliberately ignore stories that don’t align with their ideological narrative—particularly when the racial dynamics of a crime don’t fit the preferred script. Sexton contrasts this with the wall-to-wall coverage of cases like George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, and Jussie Smollett, asserting that the media only amplifies stories that can be framed as examples of systemic racism or white-on-black violence.

The hour expands to include another tragic case: the stabbing death of Dr. Julie Gard Schnuelle, a former Auburn University veterinary professor, who was murdered while walking her dog in Alabama. Sexton draws a direct line between these two cases—both involving white female victims and black male suspects with extensive criminal histories—and the broader failures of the justice system. He argues that these are not isolated incidents but symptoms of a systemic refusal to incarcerate dangerous repeat offenders due to ideological commitments to social justice, racial equity, and decarceration. Sexton calls for a national reckoning on crime, demanding that public safety take precedence over political correctness.

President Trump’s recent remarks are also featured prominently in this hour. Trump condemns cashless bail policies and vows to take federal action to restore law and order in cities like Chicago. Sexton praises Trump’s tough-on-crime stance and frames it as a necessary corrective to the chaos unleashed by progressive prosecutors and Democrat-run cities.

She criticizes the criminal justice system for prioritizing the rights of offenders over the safety of law-abiding citizens and calls for the construction of more jails and mental health facilities to address the crisis.

The conversation also touches on the role of surveillance and body cameras in undermining false narratives. Sexton and Mac Donald discuss how viral video footage—such as the Charlotte light rail stabbing—has become a threat to the media’s control over public perception. They argue that platforms like X (formerly Twitter) are essential for bypassing censorship and exposing the truth about crime in America. The hour concludes with listener emails reinforcing the show’s themes, including one from a VIP in Alabama who personally knew the Auburn victim and calls for capital punishment for her killer.

Team 47 - Trump’s Economy

The latest U.S. jobs report, revealing a slowdown in hiring with only 22,000 jobs added in August. Clay and Buck analyze inflation’s lingering effects under President Biden, emphasizing how price hikes have reshaped consumer expectations and daily costs—from fast food to coffee. They argue that although inflation has cooled, the damage to household budgets remains embedded, creating a political challenge for President Trump’s current administration. They also cover breaking news about a Supreme Court case that could impact presidential authority over tariffs, potentially reversing nearly a trillion dollars in collected revenue. Clay and Buck explore the legal and economic ramifications of this decision. The U.S. military’s unprecedented kinetic strike against a suspected narco-terrorist vessel in the Caribbean and the implications of this escalation in the war on drugs, including the deployment of fighter jets to Puerto Rico and the legal authority behind targeting drug traffickers with lethal force. They explore how the designation of cartels as terrorist organizations changes the rules of engagement and could reshape U.S. counter-narcotics strategy. Clay and Buck dive deep into the economics of the drug trade, emphasizing how cartels continue to profit despite increased seizures and enforcement. They argue that the risk-reward calculus for drug mules and smugglers may shift dramatically in light of the new military tactics. Clay urges parents and grandparents to talk to their kids about the dangers of fentanyl-laced party drugs, highlighting the growing number of accidental poisonings among young Americans. Dr. Nicole Saphier, of Fox News and the C&B Podcast Network’s “Wellness Unmasked,” unpacks two of the most explosive health policy stories in America: RFK Jr.’s controversial Senate testimony and Florida’s bold move to repeal school vaccine mandates.
