Daily Review With Clay and Buck - May 22 2025
Hour 1 - Sen. Rand Paul Reacts to BBB
Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and emotionally charged discussion centered on the tragic antisemitic double murder of a young couple in Washington, D.C., and the broader implications of rising antisemitism in America. Clay and Buck open the hour with breaking news about the passage of a major bill in the House of Representatives, highlighting its narrow approval and the expected path forward in the Senate. However, the focus quickly shifts to the horrific killing of two Israeli diplomats, a crime the hosts attribute to the dangerous rhetoric and ideology spreading across college campuses and left-wing political circles under slogans like “Globalize the Intifada.” The hosts condemn the mainstream media and political figures for their silence or tepid responses, calling out Representative Ilhan Omar for refusing to comment. They draw parallels between this attack and the October 7 Hamas terrorist massacre in Israel, emphasizing the moral inversion and ignorance among younger generations regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Buck Sexton, drawing on his background in Middle East studies and the CIA, provides historical and geopolitical context, arguing that Hamas’s actions are rooted in a desire to prevent peace in the region, particularly between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The conversation also explores the broader issue of selective outrage and hypocrisy in global human rights advocacy, pointing to the lack of attention to genocides in places like South Sudan. The hosts stress the importance of educating younger Americans about the realities of terrorism, antisemitism, and the existential threats faced by Israel. Later in the hour, KY Senator Rand Paul joins the show to discuss the implications of the newly passed House bill, particularly its impact on the national debt and fiscal conservatism. Paul criticizes the bill’s projected $4–5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling and warns that Republicans are abandoning their principles by supporting unsustainable spending. He advocates for entitlement reform and a return to fiscal responsibility, warning of the long-term consequences of unchecked deficits. The hour concludes with a candid discussion about President Biden’s health, referencing revelations from a new book and raising concerns about his cognitive fitness. Senator Paul, also a physician, offers insights into prostate cancer and the complexities of medical decision-making for aging men, adding a personal and informative touch to the segment.

Hour 2 - Yael Eckstein from Israel
Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the ongoing controversy surrounding former President Joe Biden’s cognitive fitness and the media’s alleged complicity in covering it up. Clay and Buck analyze revelations from the new book Original Sin, which they argue confirms long-held suspicions about Biden’s inner circle concealing his condition. The hosts criticize mainstream media figures like Jake Tapper and Joe Scarborough, accusing them of participating in what they describe as a coordinated “information operation” to mislead the public during the 2020 and 2024 election cycles. The discussion highlights the editorial shift in legacy media outlets like The Washington Post and The New York Times, which the hosts claim have transitioned from objective journalism to subscription-driven echo chambers. They argue that these outlets now cater to ideological fan bases rather than pursuing truth, contributing to the “balkanization” of media and public discourse. Clay and Buck also explore the broader implications of media bias, questioning whether liberal audiences were genuinely unaware of Biden’s condition or willfully ignored it to defeat Donald Trump. They suggest that recent media “mea culpas” are more about damage control than genuine accountability. In the second half of the hour, the show shifts focus to a tragic antisemitic attack in Washington, D.C., where a young Jewish couple was murdered. The hosts speak with Yael Eckstein, President and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, who offers a powerful response from Israel. She connects the attack to rising global antisemitism and the dangerous rhetoric emerging from pro-Palestinian protests on U.S. college campuses. Eckstein emphasizes the need for unity among Jews and Christians and praises former President Trump for his swift condemnation of the attack. The hour concludes with a brief, lighthearted segment on the New York Knicks’ historic playoff collapse, offering a moment of levity amid the heavy political and cultural commentary.

Hour 3 - Daniel Cameron on his Senate Run
Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the American education system, homeschooling, and the broader implications of how children are taught in the U.S. Clay and Buck open the hour with a nostalgic reflection on the joy of summer break for schoolchildren, sparking a broader conversation about the structure and effectiveness of traditional schooling. Buck critiques the current school model as outdated and overly rigid, likening it to a form of institutionalized childcare rather than a system optimized for learning. Clay shares his personal experiences with public education and homeschooling, emphasizing the need for more practical life skills—like personal finance, mortgages, and compound interest—in school curricula.
The hosts also discuss the benefits of homeschooling, citing examples of families who have successfully educated their children outside the traditional system. They highlight how homeschooling can offer flexibility, personalized learning, and opportunities for real-world experiences. The conversation touches on historical education models, including how figures like Abraham Lincoln thrived with minimal formal schooling, and critiques the modern education system as a relic of the industrial era.
A significant portion of the hour is dedicated to an interview with Daniel Cameron, former Kentucky Attorney General and current U.S. Senate candidate. Cameron discusses the recent tornado devastation in Kentucky, his campaign to replace Mitch McConnell, and his alignment with Donald Trump’s America First agenda. He emphasizes issues like border security, energy independence, and fighting DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies. Cameron also addresses the shifting political landscape, particularly how younger men across racial lines are moving away from the Democratic Party due to its stance on masculinity and traditional values.
Listeners also hear from callers who share their homeschooling success stories and challenge Clay’s earlier comments about the usefulness of geometry, particularly the Pythagorean theorem, in real-world trades like electrical work.
This hour is packed with insightful commentary on education reform, conservative values, homeschooling benefits, and 2024 Senate race developments, making it a must-listen for politically engaged parents, educators, and voters interested in the future of American schooling and conservative leadership.
