Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with breaking news that President Donald Trump plans to attend the highly anticipated Texas Longhorns vs. Tennessee Volunteers college football game in Knoxville, where top-ranked Texas and Arch Manning will face Tennessee in a marquee SEC matchup. Clay, who also plans to attend, predicts a Tennessee upset while Buck backs Texas, setting up some friendly rivalry over which school is the “real UT.” The conversation then shifts to an extensive interview with author and commentator Peachy Keenan, who joins Clay and Buck to discuss the continuing controversy surrounding the Lindsay Clancy case, Patrick Clancy’s divorce, and reaction from The View. Keenan criticizes the feminist arguments surrounding the case and contrasts The View’s questioning of Patrick Clancy’s decision to divorce his wife with what she describes as a broader culture that frequently encourages women to leave unhappy marriages. The discussion expands into marriage, divorce, feminism, gender politics, social media, true crime culture, criminal responsibility, mental illness, and online theories claiming Lindsay Clancy did not kill her children. Clay raises statistics about women initiating a large majority of divorces, prompting a broader debate about whether social and financial incentives surrounding divorce differ for men and women and how modern culture treats divorced women versus divorced men.

Keenan also joins Clay and Buck for a discussion of a bizarre controversy involving a Massachusetts lesbian bar and its N95 mask mandate, after the establishment reportedly faced intense backlash for temporarily relaxing its masking requirements. The hosts and Keenan react to criticism that dropping the mandate discriminated against immunocompromised patrons and to extreme online responses directed at the establishment, using the story as a jumping-off point for a wider conversation about COVID-era masking, progressive politics, identity politics and political polarization. They then revisit the recent Sydney Sweeney cultural controversy, including a viral street-interview clip asking whether Sweeney’s provocative sports-betting advertising or Lindsay Clancy was “worse for women.” Keenan argues that hostility toward Sweeney reflects tensions within contemporary feminism over beauty, sexuality, body image, mental health and traditional standards of attractiveness. The segment ends on a lighter note when Buck’s young son unexpectedly enters the studio and joins him on camera.

Hour 3 then returns to Kamala Harris and the 2028 presidential election, with Clay and Buck replaying Harris’s memorable comments to children about space exploration and seeing the moon’s craters as an example of what they consider her highly scripted public persona. Clay argues that Harris’s political weakness comes from appearing overly concerned with how she is perceived, and he predicts that a prospective Kamala Harris 2028 presidential campaign would lean heavily into DEI, race and gender politics. While Clay continues to view Harris as a likely Democratic nominee, he and Buck question her ability to appeal to blue-collar white voters and Midwestern battleground states, while acknowledging she could potentially perform better in states such as Georgia and North Carolina with larger minority electorates. They also discuss whether Democrats will be hesitant to nominate another woman after the presidential defeats of Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Harris in 2024.


Attorney and political commentator Katie Zacharia joins the program for a wide-ranging discussion of California politics, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris and the 2028 Democratic presidential primary. Zacharia reacts to Newsom telling Jake Tapper during a fly-fishing interview that he would not run for president if Harris enters the race, questioning whether Newsom may instead be positioning himself for another role or waiting to see how the Democratic field develops. The conversation examines the political relationship between Newsom and Harris, Newsom’s record as California governor, climate and energy policies, electric-vehicle mandates, electricity costs and the difficulty both California Democrats could face appealing to Middle America and key swing states. Zacharia also discusses Harris’s political activity in Michigan and her support for Abdul El-Sayed, while Clay and Buck examine Democratic fundraising, Harris’s expensive 2024 presidential campaign, potential donor enthusiasm and whether Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could emerge as another national Democratic contender.

Zacharia then weighs in on the Lindsay Clancy case, rejecting social-media speculation that Clancy did not kill her children and arguing that online true-crime communities can blur the distinction between documented facts and amateur theories. The discussion returns to Patrick Clancy’s divorce and criticism from The View, with Zacharia defending his decision and calling for greater emphasis on the children, accountability and critical thinking. Clay and Buck broaden the subject to the influence of TikTok, Instagram, true-crime content and social-media culture on public understanding of criminal trials and controversial legal cases.

The hour's final major media discussion focuses on the proposed Paramount-Warner Bros. transaction and the future of CNN and CBS News. Clay argues that potential changes in CNN ownership could have significant political consequences if the network shifts toward more straightforward or centrist news coverage, thereby altering the media environment in which Democratic and Republican narratives compete. Zachariah discusses the proposed deal from a California business and political perspective, including antitrust concerns, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, Gavin Newsom, Paramount, Warner Bros., CNN and CBS, and predicts that a reshaped CNN could move closer to the center.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show closes on more personal and lighter subjects. Buck explains that he will miss an upcoming show to attend the burial of his wife’s grandfather, Rear Admiral James Flatley, at Arlington National Cemetery, recounting Flatley’s remarkable history as a Navy test pilot who landed a C-130 transport aircraft on an aircraft carrier. Clay reflects on Arlington’s significance and calls it a place every American should visit. The hosts then return to Trump’s appearance at the Texas-Tennessee football game, the Longhorns-Volunteers rivalry, Arch Manning, and Tennessee history involving Davy Crockett and Sam Houston, before wrapping up with listener talkbacks about childhood school paddling and one final round of jokes about Buck’s baby-blue cable-knit sweater
