Daily Review With Clay and Buck - May 20 2025
The hour kicks off with a detailed discussion of what President Donald Trump has dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping piece of legislation currently under debate on Capitol Hill. President Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, and other GOP leaders are rallying behind the bill, which includes major tax cuts, regulatory rollbacks, and incentives aimed at boosting the U.S. economy. The hosts predict the bill will pass, likening the political theatrics to previous debt ceiling and speaker vote showdowns. Key highlights of the bill include: Permanent extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts Elimination of taxes on tips Adjustments to SALT (state and local tax) deductions Phased elimination of EV and green energy tax credits Increased funding for defense and immigration enforcement Tightening of SNAP (food stamp) eligibility A $4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling Buck Sexton shares insights from a recent interview with the head of the National Economic Council, emphasizing that the bill could result in $7,000–$12,000 in annual savings for the average American household. However, both hosts acknowledge conservative criticism over the bill’s lack of deeper spending cuts and its continuation of certain green energy subsidies. Democrats Don't Believe Illegal Immigration is a Crime Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dive deep into the explosive political and legal controversy surrounding Congresswoman LaMonica McIver’s arrest for allegedly obstructing ICE agents during a detention center visit. Hosts Clay and Buck analyze the implications of her actions, highlighting the irony of her past “no one is above the law” rhetoric—previously aimed at Donald Trump—now being turned against her. They explore the broader theme of political hypocrisy and the consequences of “lawfare,” emphasizing how Democrats are now facing the same legal tactics they once championed. The hour also features a sharp critique of the Democratic Party’s stance on illegal immigration. Clay and Buck argue that Democrats no longer view illegal immigration as a crime, citing McIver’s confrontation with ICE as emblematic of a broader ideological shift. They question why Democratic leaders prioritize the rights of non-citizens over the needs of underserved American communities, particularly Black constituents in urban districts like McIver’s New Jersey 10th, which is nearly 50% Black. The hosts suggest that this disconnect may be driving more minority voters toward the GOP, referencing recent political shifts in cities like New York and Chicago. Tom Homan, former acting ICE director, is featured in a clip reinforcing the legal boundaries McIver allegedly crossed, underscoring the seriousness of interfering with federal law enforcement. The discussion then pivots to the racial and ideological motivations behind Democratic immigration policies, with Buck asserting that modern leftist movements have replaced class solidarity with race-based solidarity, often to the detriment of their own constituents. This is a Crazy Story Clay and Buck dive into the intersection of sports, culture, and politics, delivering a compelling mix of commentary and breaking news. This hour kicks off with a heated discussion surrounding the viral WNBA incident involving Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, which sparked a broader cultural debate. The hosts analyze the fallout from ESPN personalities Robert Griffin III and Ryan Clark, highlighting the racial and personal tensions that erupted over a simple foul in a women’s basketball game. The segment underscores how Clark’s rising stardom is reshaping the WNBA and exposing underlying resentments within the league. The conversation transitions into a broader cultural critique, with Clay and Buck exploring how race, media narratives, and sports collide in today’s polarized environment. They draw parallels to historical moments in tennis and golf, emphasizing how stars like Serena Williams and Tiger Woods were embraced across racial lines—contrasting that with the
Hour 1 - Is The Big Beautiful Bill Bloated
In Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts dive deep into the political and economic headlines dominating the national conversation. The hour kicks off with a detailed discussion of what President Donald Trump has dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping piece of legislation currently under debate on Capitol Hill. President Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, and other GOP leaders are rallying behind the bill, which includes major tax cuts, regulatory rollbacks, and incentives aimed at boosting the U.S. economy. The hosts predict the bill will pass, likening the political theatrics to previous debt ceiling and speaker vote showdowns. Key highlights of the bill include: Permanent extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts Elimination of taxes on tips Adjustments to SALT (state and local tax) deductions Phased elimination of EV and green energy tax credits Increased funding for defense and immigration enforcement Tightening of SNAP (food stamp) eligibility A $4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling Buck Sexton shares insights from a recent interview with the head of the National Economic Council, emphasizing that the bill could result in $7,000–$12,000 in annual savings for the average American household. However, both hosts acknowledge conservative criticism over the bill’s lack of deeper spending cuts and its continuation of certain green energy subsidies. The conversation shifts to broader fiscal concerns, including the unsustainable trajectory of the national debt. Clay and Buck argue that without reforming Social Security, Medicare, and defense spending—which together comprise over 85% of the federal budget—true fiscal responsibility is unattainable. They warn that rising interest payments on the national debt now exceed defense spending, a historical indicator of national decline. The hosts also touch on cultural and political flashpoints, including: A bizarre feud between former NFL players Robert Griffin III and Ryan Clark over Caitlin Clark, Reports of Bill Belichick’s engagement to 24-year-old, Jordan Hudson, sparking light-hearted commentary, former FBI Director James Comey’s controversial Instagram post featuring “86 47” spelled out in seashells, which many interpreted as a veiled political message against Trump. Comey’s media tour defending the post is met with sharp criticism from the hosts, who accuse him of playing semantic games and lacking accountability. The hour concludes with a preview of upcoming topics, including the arrest of a Democratic congresswoman for assaulting an ICE officer and continued fallout from the Biden administration’s handling of health disclosures.

Hour 2 - Democrats Don't Believe Illegal Immigration is a Crime
Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the explosive political and legal controversy surrounding Congresswoman LaMonica McIver’s arrest for allegedly obstructing ICE agents during a detention center visit. Hosts Clay and Buck analyze the implications of her actions, highlighting the irony of her past “no one is above the law” rhetoric—previously aimed at Donald Trump—now being turned against her. They explore the broader theme of political hypocrisy and the consequences of “lawfare,” emphasizing how Democrats are now facing the same legal tactics they once championed. The hour also features a sharp critique of the Democratic Party’s stance on illegal immigration.

The discussion then pivots to the racial and ideological motivations behind Democratic immigration policies, with Buck asserting that modern leftist movements have replaced class solidarity with race-based solidarity, often to the detriment of their own constituents. Later in the hour, the hosts turn their attention to media accountability, particularly targeting MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough for his past praise of President Biden’s mental acuity. They play contrasting clips of Scarborough defending Biden post-debate and his earlier claim that Biden was “the best version ever,” calling out what they see as blatant media complicity in covering up Biden’s cognitive decline. This segues into a broader conversation about the alleged concealment of Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, with Clay and Buck speculating that the administration may have hidden the condition for political reasons, possibly even before Biden took office. The segment concludes with a call-in from a listener in Atlanta, who suggests McIver’s actions may be a political stunt to gain prominence within the progressive “Squad.” The hosts agree, framing her behavior as part of a broader trend of performative politics on the left.

This hour kicks off with a heated discussion surrounding the viral WNBA incident involving Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, which sparked a broader cultural debate.

He also teases the potential announcement of the “Golden Dome” missile defense initiative, likened to Israel’s Iron Dome, as part of President Trump’s broader national security strategy. The hour wraps with a fiery exchange on Capitol Hill featuring Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who forcefully defends the administration’s refugee policies against Democratic criticism.
