Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into major breaking news and high-stakes political analysis. The lead story is the arrest of the alleged January 6th pipe bomber after a five-year FBI investigation. Clay and Buck break down what we know so far, including details about the suspect, speculation on motives, and the credibility challenges facing federal law enforcement. They discuss whether the FBI’s priorities under the Biden administration delayed this arrest and explore theories ranging from anarchist intent to possible false flag scenarios.

The segment includes sharp commentary on the fentanyl crisis, the devastating ripple effects on families, and the urgent need for a real war on drugs. Listener calls and talkbacks add perspective, including strong reactions to cartel violence and the human toll of addiction.

Additional topics include President Trump’s decision to rename the U.S. Institute of Peace, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s pointed remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris, and broader discussions on left-wing versus right-wing political violence.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a packed lineup of breaking news, exclusive interviews, and in-depth analysis. The hour opens with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who previews tomorrow’s major World Cup draw event at the Kennedy Center, a global spectacle coinciding with America’s 250th birthday celebrations. Secretary Duffy outlines the Department of Transportation’s critical role in ensuring smooth travel for millions of visitors, from upgraded transit systems to intercity connectivity. He also highlights the economic impact of the World Cup, projecting billions in revenue for hotels, airlines, and local businesses, and discusses President Trump’s involvement as a central figure in the event.

The conversation shifts to modernizing America’s air traffic control system, where Duffy details a $12.5 billion investment to replace outdated infrastructure and transition from analog to digital systems by 2028. He previews innovations like air taxis, drone deliveries, autonomous vehicles, and even supersonic flight technology that could revolutionize travel in the next decade. Duffy also addresses the air traffic controller shortage, revealing a 2,000-person gap and offering insights into recruitment, training, and incentives for experienced controllers to stay on the job.

Later in the hour, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise joins to discuss urgent legislative priorities before Congress adjourns for the year. Scalise emphasizes efforts to lower healthcare costs through expanded health savings accounts, association health plans, and increased competition beyond the Affordable Care Act. He previews upcoming bills on housing affordability, tax relief for overtime and tips, and the National Defense Authorization Act, underscoring a focus on reducing inflation and strengthening national security. Scalise also addresses the SCORE Act, aimed at restoring structure to college athletics, protecting student-athletes from exploitative contracts, and safeguarding Olympic and Title IX sports.

Throughout the hour, Clay and Buck monitor the FBI press conference announcing the arrest of the alleged January 6th pipe bomber, Brian Cole Jr. The hosts analyze the implications of this breakthrough in a five-year investigation, noting how the arrest challenges narratives about the Capitol riot and raises questions about law enforcement priorities under previous leadership.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers explosive analysis of breaking news surrounding the arrest of the alleged January 6th pipe bomber, Brian Cole Jr., after a five-year investigation. Clay and Buck dissect the FBI press conference led by Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Cash Patel, highlighting the stunning revelation that no new evidence was needed—only renewed focus and leadership under the current administration. This raises critical questions about why the Biden-era DOJ and FBI deprioritized the case despite branding January 6th as the “darkest day since the Civil War.” The hosts argue that political motivations may have sidelined the investigation because the suspect reportedly has ties to Antifa, contradicting the long-standing narrative that the Capitol riot was solely driven by MAGA extremists.

The hour features a detailed review of the criminal complaint and affidavit, which alleges Cole purchased bomb-making materials with his own credit cards and was tracked via cell phone data near the RNC and DNC on January 5th, 2021. Clay and Buck emphasize how these findings could reshape the January 6th narrative, undermining claims of a purely right-wing insurrection and exposing potential cover-ups within the prior FBI leadership. They also explore broader implications, including whether this case signals systemic bias in federal law enforcement and the possibility of additional charges or co-conspirators.

Julie Kelly, one of the most prominent journalists covering January 6th, joins the show to provide expert insight. She calls the arrest a “massive scandal,” asserting that the FBI’s decision to shelve the investigation for years was deliberate and politically motivated. Kelly warns of significant legal ramifications, noting that exculpatory evidence was withheld from January 6th defendants while the DOJ pushed an insurrection narrative. The discussion also touches on Kamala Harris’s proximity to one of the pipe bombs, raising further questions about security lapses and media silence.

Listeners weigh in with fiery talkbacks, reinforcing skepticism about the DOJ’s priorities and echoing frustration over selective enforcement. Clay and Julie conclude by examining the affidavit’s granular details—credit card purchases, cell tower pings, and surveillance footage—while stressing the need for transparency and accountability as this case unfolds.

Clay Travis & Buck Sexton dive into the aftermath of Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District special election, where Republican Matt Van Epps secured a decisive nine-point victory over Democrat Afton Bain. Clay and Buck break down why this off-calendar election mattered, emphasizing low turnout—roughly half of a typical congressional race—and how Democrats hoped to flip a Trump-leaning district but failed. The hosts credit grassroots awareness and strong support from President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson for the win, reinforcing a key takeaway: “Running with Trump is how you win.” Van Epps himself echoed this sentiment in his victory speech, signaling the GOP’s strategy heading into 2026.

The discussion also explores voter behavior in special elections, contrasting Republican voters’ busy family lives with Democrats’ identity-driven activism. Clay shares personal insights on living in Williamson County, Tennessee, and why he refuses to support Davidson County after its COVID policies. Buck adds humor about avoiding a “communist dystopia” in Clay’s district, while callers from Alabama, Florida, and Michigan weigh in on the race’s significance and the broader political landscape, including battleground states like Michigan.

Congressman Jim Jordan joins the show, he outlines the GOP’s legislative priorities before the 2026 campaign season kicks into high gear. Jordan emphasizes healthcare reform focused on choice and competition, rejecting expanded Obamacare subsidies, and highlights the need for tax cuts and regulatory reform to combat lingering inflation. He warns that despite progress under President Trump, prices remain painfully high for everyday Americans—a reality that could shape the 2026 midterm elections. Jordan also stresses the importance of passing a real budget, avoiding endless continuing resolutions, and protecting civil liberties during the upcoming FISA reauthorization, citing alarming revelations about government surveillance.

Then the hosts tackle a major controversy in Minnesota—President Trump’s fiery remarks on the Somali fraud scandal, where scammers allegedly billed for 125 million fake meals under a child-feeding program, siphoning off billions in taxpayer funds. Clay and Buck dissect the cultural and political implications, questioning whether fear of appearing “xenophobic” allowed systemic fraud to flourish. They draw parallels to the UK’s grooming gang scandals and debate assimilation challenges, spotlighting cases where defendants cite Somali cultural norms as a defense in U.S. courts. This segment raises urgent questions about immigration policy, law enforcement, and cultural accountability.
