Daily Review with Clay and Buck - May 17 2023

TX Sen. Ted Cruz Joins the Show!

Clay highlights encouraging data showing core inflation dropping to 2.6%, its lowest level since March 2021. The hosts explain why this trend signals progress toward the Federal Reserve’s 2% target and could lead to lower interest rates in 2026. They also discuss affordability challenges and debate proposals like capping credit card interest rates at 10%, with Senator Ted Cruz joining the show to warn about unintended consequences that could hurt low-income Americans by restricting access to credit.

The hour concludes with a deep dive into Iran’s escalating protests against the Ayatollah’s regime, featuring an extended interview with Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz calls the uprising a potential “Berlin Wall moment,” predicting the Islamic theocracy could collapse within weeks following its humiliating defeat in the recent 12-day war with Israel. He praises President Trump’s strong stance in support of Iranian freedom and outlines strategies ranging from cyber operations to limited kinetic strikes against regime forces, while stressing the importance of keeping the revolution authentically Iranian. Cruz also reveals that Elon Musk has activated Starlink over Iran to help protesters bypass government censorship, underscoring the role of technology in modern resistance movements.

Buck's Crazy Credit Card Story

From cultural flashpoints, the discussion moves to economic policy and affordability, spotlighting Trump’s proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year. Clay questions whether a president can legally impose such a cap, while Buck recalls predatory practices like shifting due dates and punitive APR hikes that previously triggered regulatory crackdowns. Senator Ted Cruz warns that such caps could backfire by restricting credit access for high-risk borrowers, pushing them toward payday lenders or worse. Listener calls enrich the debate: one caller warns that temporary caps could encourage larger balances only to reset at 20% later, echoing pitfalls of adjustable-rate mortgages; another shares a teachable moment with her grandson about compound interest and minimum payments, underscoring the need for financial literacy in schools. Clay contextualizes Trump’s move as part of a broader populist strategy to address affordability concerns heading into the 2026 midterms, alongside proposals to curb institutional home purchases.

Financial Literacy Isn't Taught at School

The hour opens with a candid discussion on financial literacy and mortgage realities, as Clay explains how most homeowners misunderstand amortization tables. For the first decade of a 30-year mortgage, nearly all payments go toward interest rather than principal, leaving many Americans unaware of how little equity they build early on. The hosts argue that schools fail to teach essential financial skills—such as understanding compound interest, credit card debt, and mortgage structures—leaving consumers vulnerable to predatory practices. This ties into their broader critique of systemic financial inequities and the need for transparency in lending.

The conversation then shifts to Trump’s economic agenda, highlighted by his speech at the Detroit Economic Club. Clay and Buck analyze Trump’s populist proposals, including a one-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10% and restrictions on institutional investors buying single-family homes. They debate the feasibility and impact of these measures, noting that while Trump’s plan may face legal hurdles, it resonates politically by addressing affordability concerns. Buck shares personal anecdotes about credit card companies’ predatory tactics, reinforcing why Trump’s stance on consumer protection is striking a chord with voters. The hosts also explore how housing shortages are exacerbated by illegal immigration and corporate ownership of residential properties, driving up prices and squeezing middle-class families.

SCOTUS Trans Athlete Arguments

From economics, the hour pivots to a landmark Supreme Court case on transgender athletes in women’s sports, featuring an interview with Jennifer Sey, founder of XX-XY Athletics and former Levi’s executive. Sey, who spoke at a rally on the steps of the Supreme Court alongside Riley Gaines, calls the case a fight for reality and fairness, arguing that Title IX was designed to protect female athletes based on biological sex—not gender identity. She warns that allowing males to compete in women’s sports undermines decades of progress and discourages girls from participating. Sey predicts that even if the Court rules 6–3 in favor of states like West Virginia and Idaho, progressive states will double down on policies permitting biological males in female sports, framing the issue as a cultural battle that must be fought beyond the courtroom. Clay and Buck echo her concerns, blasting terms like “cisgender” and “trans girls” as linguistic fictions that normalize gender ideology at the expense of women’s rights.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jan 13 2026

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with a packed agenda covering major legal, political, and global developments. The hour opens with analysis of the Supreme Court’s oral arguments on transgender athletes in women’s sports, a case Clay and Buck describe as a defining cultural battle. They argue that Democrats and progressive justices are ignoring biological realities to advance ideological goals, framing the debate as a critical moment for fairness in athletics and parental rights.

The conversation then pivots to the Minneapolis ICE shooting controversy, which dominated headlines last week. Clay and Buck dissect the political maneuvering by Minnesota officials, including Attorney General Keith Ellison, who suggested potential murder charges against the ICE agent despite clear video evidence showing lawful use of force. The hosts emphasize that federal law supersedes state law in immigration enforcement, making lawsuits by Minnesota officials legally baseless and purely political. They predict Democrats will continue exploiting the incident for short-term gains, even though the case underscores the dangers of sanctuary policies and activist obstruction of law enforcement.

Economic news takes center stage next, as Clay highlights encouraging data showing core inflation dropping to 2.6%, its lowest level since March 2021. The hosts explain why this trend signals progress toward the Federal Reserve’s 2% target and could lead to lower interest rates in 2026. They also discuss affordability challenges and debate proposals like capping credit card interest rates at 10%, with Senator Ted Cruz joining the show to warn about unintended consequences that could hurt low-income Americans by restricting access to credit.

The hour concludes with a deep dive into Iran’s escalating protests against the Ayatollah’s regime, featuring an extended interview with Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz calls the uprising a potential “Berlin Wall moment,” predicting the Islamic theocracy could collapse within weeks following its humiliating defeat in the recent 12-day war with Israel. He praises President Trump’s strong stance in support of Iranian freedom and outlines strategies ranging from cyber operations to limited kinetic strikes against regime forces, while stressing the importance of keeping the revolution authentically Iranian. Cruz also reveals that Elon Musk has activated Starlink over Iran to help protesters bypass government censorship, underscoring the role of technology in modern resistance movements.

Hour 1 delivers a dynamic mix of legal analysis, economic insight, and foreign policy expertise, making it essential listening for anyone tracking the intersection of cultural battles, immigration enforcement, and global democracy.

Hour 1 - Slow Your Roll

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/4a43e4eb-cd4d-4f8e-a52b-b3d101393737/transcript

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of global developments, cultural battles, and economic policy debates. The hour begins with breaking news from President Trump, who advised Americans to evacuate Iran and hinted at forthcoming actions during remarks at a Ford facility in Detroit. This follows Senator Ted Cruz’s striking prediction that the Ayatollah’s regime could collapse within 90 days—or even hours—marking a potential Berlin Wall–style moment for freedom movements worldwide. Clay frames this as the most significant global story, noting parallels to 1989 and emphasizing how adversaries like Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba are at their weakest point in decades.

The conversation then pivots to the Supreme Court case on transgender athletes in women’s sports, where West Virginia and Idaho are defending laws that bar biological males from competing against females. Based on oral arguments, Clay and Buck anticipate a likely 6–3 ruling upholding states’ authority to protect women’s sports. They highlight how liberal justices attempted to preserve “gender ideology” through hypotheticals, while the conservative majority focused on biological realities. The hosts underscore that cultural momentum has shifted so dramatically that even the Washington Post editorial board now argues that unrestricted trans inclusion undermines women’s athletics entirely, citing Leah Thomas’s NCAA dominance as proof of inherent male advantage. Buck expands on the science, pointing to testosterone’s anabolic effects and real-world consequences such as assaults in women’s prisons by male-bodied inmates. Clay adds a practical observation: if gender were purely a social construct, women identifying as men would dominate boys’ teams—but they don’t, because biology matters.

From cultural flashpoints, the discussion moves to economic policy and affordability, spotlighting Trump’s proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year. Clay questions whether a president can legally impose such a cap, while Buck recalls predatory practices like shifting due dates and punitive APR hikes that previously triggered regulatory crackdowns. Senator Ted Cruz warns that such caps could backfire by restricting credit access for high-risk borrowers, pushing them toward payday lenders or worse. Listener calls enrich the debate: one caller warns that temporary caps could encourage larger balances only to reset at 20% later, echoing pitfalls of adjustable-rate mortgages; another shares a teachable moment with her grandson about compound interest and minimum payments, underscoring the need for financial literacy in schools. Clay contextualizes Trump’s move as part of a broader populist strategy to address affordability concerns heading into the 2026 midterms, alongside proposals to curb institutional home purchases.

Hour 2 blends breaking international news, a landmark Supreme Court case, and relatable economic issues, offering listeners sharp analysis on the forces shaping America’s cultural, financial, and geopolitical future.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis &amp; Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of global developments, cultural battles, and economic policy debates. The hour begins with breaking news from President Trump, who advised Americans to evacuate Iran and hinted at forthcoming actions during remarks at a Ford facility in Detroit. This follows Senator Ted Cruz&rsquo;s striking prediction that the Ayatollah&rsquo;s regime could collapse within 90 days&mdash;or even hours&mdash;marking a potential Berlin Wall&ndash;style moment for freedom movements worldwide. Clay frames this as the most significant global story, noting parallels to 1989 and emphasizing how adversaries like Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba are at their weakest point in decades.
The conversation then pivots to the Supreme Court case on transgender athletes in women&rsquo;s sports, where West Virginia and Idaho are defending laws that bar biological males from competing against females. Based on oral arguments, Clay and Buck anticipate a likely 6&ndash;3 ruling upholding states&rsquo; authority to protect women&rsquo;s sports. They highlight how liberal justices attempted to preserve &ldquo;gender ideology&rdquo; through hypotheticals, while the conservative majority focused on biological realities.
