Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show continues the deep dive into the political and cultural battles shaping America, with a strong focus on urban crime, Democratic leadership failures, and media manipulation. The hour opens with renewed scrutiny of Chicago’s violent crime epidemic, where Governor JB Pritzker dodges questions about the city’s safety following a weekend of 54 shootings and 7 deaths. Clay and Buck argue that President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Washington D.C. has proven effective, and they challenge Democrats to explain their resistance to similar measures in cities like Memphis, St. Louis, and New Orleans.

The hosts dissect Mayor Brandon Johnson’s inflammatory rhetoric, including his call for citizens to “defend the land” against Trump’s law enforcement efforts. Clay and Buck criticize this as dangerous and historically inaccurate, noting that Chicago was not built by slaves or indigenous people, and that invoking such narratives undermines real solutions to crime. They emphasize the psychological deterrent effect of visible law enforcement and the success of plainclothes policing units in cities like New York.

The conversation shifts to the broader political implications of Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, highlighting how Democrats are increasingly boxed into defending the indefensible. Clay and Buck argue that Trump’s actions are saving lives, even if those lives can’t be individually identified, and they call out the hypocrisy of Democrats who welcomed National Guard troops during COVID but now oppose them for public safety.

Listeners call in to share personal perspectives, including a black caller from Oklahoma City who explains that many black Democrats support figures like Jasmine Crockett simply because they oppose Trump, regardless of how they present themselves. The hosts explore the growing divide within the black community, particularly among black men, who are increasingly open to conservative ideas and Trump’s policies.

The hour also covers the emerging controversy surrounding Maryland Governor Wes Moore, a rising Democratic star accused of falsely claiming he received a Bronze Star. Clay and Buck expose the media’s attempt to sanitize the story and suggest that Moore’s misrepresentation is part of a broader effort to position him as a future presidential contender. They compare Moore’s situation to past cases of military record embellishment and argue that such dishonesty should disqualify candidates from higher office.

In a lighter segment, the hosts mock Kamala Harris’s upcoming speaking tour, including a VIP event in Nashville with ticket prices exceeding $2,700. They joke about attending undercover and reflect on the Democratic Party’s struggle to connect with young men, predicting a future ticket featuring Gavin Newsom and Wes Moore as an attempt to rebrand the party’s image.

The show closes with a heartfelt call from a listener whose father earned three Bronze Stars but never spoke of them, contrasting his humility with Moore’s alleged self-promotion. Clay and Buck promise to help her recover the medals in honor of her father’s service.
