Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H2 - Nikki Haley Announces Run to be Somebody's VP

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/2b08051b-fe16-4ac3-8129-afac0128bb7c/transcript

It's a Trap!

Clay Travis & Buck Sexton analyze the emerging details of what authorities are investigating as an ISIS‑inspired attack involving homemade explosive devices thrown during dueling protests at the mayor’s residence. They highlight NYPD Commissioner Jess Tisch’s statements, the arrests of the two alleged attackers, and the media’s initial reluctance to focus on the jihadist element of the story. This leads to a broader discussion on free speech, ideological extremism, the right to protest, and the distinction between criticizing Islam as an ideology versus accusations of “white supremacy.”

From there, they dive into major Middle East geopolitical developments, including the transition of power in Iran after the killing of the Ayatollah, the rise of Mojtaba Khamenei, and Israeli strikes on Iranian oil storage facilities. Buck provides a detailed analysis of Iran’s military capabilities—particularly mobile missile launchers—and draws parallels to Scud-hunting operations during Desert Storm. The hosts note how U.S. and Israeli actions are shaping oil market volatility and global security narratives.

Clay and Buck also address the surging gas and oil prices, with crude briefly spiking to $120 before falling toward $110. Clay and Buck criticize media outlets like MSNBC and CNN for showcasing market turmoil only when it politically hurts the right. They argue that current fuel volatility was predictable, often driven by speculation, and not a sign of long‑term collapse. They also revisit debates over the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, warning that calls from Democrats—especially Sen. Chuck Schumer—to tap the SPR immediately are a “trap,” comparing it humorously to the iconic Star Wars “It’s a trap!” moment.

What if the Bombs Exploded?

Breaking news surrounding the New York City ISIS‑inspired terror plot, where new details emerge about suspect Emir Balat, allegedly pledging allegiance to ISIS, invoking jihadist terminology like kufar, and stating a desire to commit an attack “bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing.” Clay and Buck analyze how the incident unfolded at a protest over Islamic extremism, noting the irony that jihadist attackers attempted to use violence against people warning about jihadist violence.

The hosts detail how the attackers reportedly used TATP-based homemade explosives, ball bearings for shrapnel, and body‑camera footage capturing explicit ISIS pledges. They discuss how media and local officials attempted to frame the protest as “white supremacist,” even as evidence pointed to ideologically inspired terrorism targeting civilians. The hour explores deeper ideological roots of terrorism—arguing it is driven by belief systems, not poverty—and recounts how highly educated, affluent individuals throughout history have embraced extremist ideologies. Clay and Buck highlight how online radicalization played a major role, citing how one suspect grew up in a prosperous American community yet became consumed by jihadist propaganda.

Why Texas Matters

Texas Congressman Chip Roy, joins the program to discuss his runoff campaign for Texas Attorney General, arguing that the role is essential for defending state sovereignty and national stability. He details his background as a former federal prosecutor and first assistant attorney general, contrasting it with that of his self‑funded opponent. Roy also provides an insider’s perspective on the SAVE Act, election integrity, the mechanics of a real talking filibuster, and how Senate norms have weakened accountability. He urges Republican leadership to force Democrats into a sustained talking filibuster, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” style, to expose their unwillingness to enact voter‑ID protections.

Chip Roy then pivots to national security, advising President Trump—who is set to speak later in the day—to “stay the course” on Iran. He predicts the administration will continue conventional strikes on Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure while avoiding long‑term ground involvement. Roy argues that America’s robust domestic energy supply and fracking capacity give the U.S. strategic leverage, while China absorbs the economic pain of rising oil prices. He also breaks down the DHS funding crisis, explaining how Democratic obstruction has caused severe TSA staffing shortages and massive airport delays—some airports warning travelers to arrive five hours early.

Burn it Down Dems

Clay flags the still‑unexplained mass shooting in Austin, noting the shooter’s apparent pro‑Iranian messaging.  Breaking international news: the reported elevation of Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Iran’s Supreme Leader, who is allegedly severely wounded and possibly unaware of his own succession. Clay and Buck discuss instability within the Iranian regime, the IRGC’s internal power structure, and how U.S. and Israeli drone capabilities—such as the precision “flying Ginsu” strike weapon—give Western forces a historic battlefield advantage.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Mar 9 2026

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/28df840f-614b-4be0-adb6-b4080137a485/transcript

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show opens with a fast‑moving breakdown of a dramatic weekend in news and politics, beginning with the attempted terror attack outside Gracie Mansion in New York City. Clay and Buck analyze the emerging details of what authorities are investigating as an ISIS‑inspired attack involving homemade explosive devices thrown during dueling protests at the mayor’s residence. They highlight NYPD Commissioner Jess Tisch’s statements, the arrests of the two alleged attackers, and the media’s initial reluctance to focus on the jihadist element of the story. This leads to a broader discussion on free speech, ideological extremism, the right to protest, and the distinction between criticizing Islam as an ideology versus accusations of “white supremacy.”

From there, Hour 1 dives into major Middle East geopolitical developments, including the transition of power in Iran after the killing of the Ayatollah, the rise of Mojtaba Khamenei, and Israeli strikes on Iranian oil storage facilities. Buck provides a detailed analysis of Iran’s military capabilities—particularly mobile missile launchers—and draws parallels to Scud-hunting operations during Desert Storm. The hosts note how U.S. and Israeli actions are shaping oil market volatility and global security narratives.

This hour also covers the surging gas and oil prices, with crude briefly spiking to $120 before falling toward $110. Clay and Buck criticize media outlets like MSNBC and CNN for showcasing market turmoil only when it politically hurts the right. They argue that current fuel volatility was predictable, often driven by speculation, and not a sign of long‑term collapse. They also revisit debates over the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, warning that calls from Democrats—especially Sen. Chuck Schumer—to tap the SPR immediately are a “trap,” comparing it humorously to the iconic Star Wars “It’s a trap!” moment.

The conversation expands into a reflection on America’s growing energy independence, as the hosts emphasize how increased domestic drilling has made the U.S. less vulnerable to Middle Eastern instability. They also critique Democratic leaders like Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries for political opportunism, especially their sudden election‑year pivot to gas‑price outrage after years of climate‑based restrictions on fossil fuels.

Finally, Hour 1 transitions into a broader economic discussion, with Clay and Buck urging listeners not to panic about stock market fluctuations. They advocate long‑term investing principles—particularly steady S&P 500 index fund strategies—while warning against emotional decision‑making influenced by negative news coverage.  Overall, Hour 1 delivers a high‑energy, detail‑rich examination of terrorism, U.S. energy policy, Iran‑Israel tensions, gas prices, media bias, political narratives, and long‑term economic strategy, offering listeners both breaking‑news analysis and big‑picture context.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show features an in‑depth, fast‑paced conversation with Sean Hannity, who joins Clay and Buck for a sweeping discussion on politics, national security, terrorism, media narratives, and cultural transformation in America. Hannity opens by praising Buck’s book on psychopolitics and mass manipulation, describing how the modern world mirrors historical examples of ideological control, fanaticism, and the ease with which populations can be influenced into destructive movements. From there, the hour pivots into breaking news surrounding the New York City ISIS‑inspired terror plot, where new details emerge about suspect Emir Balat, allegedly pledging allegiance to ISIS, invoking jihadist terminology like kufar, and stating a desire to commit an attack “bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing.” Clay and Buck analyze how the incident unfolded at a protest over Islamic extremism, noting the irony that jihadist attackers attempted to use violence against people warning about jihadist violence.

The hosts detail how the attackers reportedly used TATP-based homemade explosives, ball bearings for shrapnel, and body‑camera footage capturing explicit ISIS pledges. They discuss how media and local officials attempted to frame the protest as “white supremacist,” even as evidence pointed to ideologically inspired terrorism targeting civilians. The hour explores deeper ideological roots of terrorism—arguing it is driven by belief systems, not poverty—and recounts how highly educated, affluent individuals throughout history have embraced extremist ideologies. Clay and Buck highlight how online radicalization played a major role, citing how one suspect grew up in a prosperous American community yet became consumed by jihadist propaganda.

Hannity then shifts to the escalating conflict with Iran, offering his perspective on Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury, and emphasizing Donald Trump’s longstanding insistence that Iran must never possess nuclear weapons. He recounts past Trump‑era military actions such as eliminating Soleimani and Baghdadi, dismantling the ISIS caliphate without ground troops, and conducting targeted bunker‑buster strikes. Hannity reassures listeners that Trump is not seeking a “forever war,” explaining that any use of boots on the ground would only occur under the most extreme circumstances and would likely focus on protecting U.S. personnel during a transitional phase. The conversation includes a broader reflection on Iranian society, the failures of its regime, and hope for a post‑revolution future shaped by the Iranian people.

Hour 2 also touches on Hannity’s expanding media projects, including long‑form podcasts featuring guests such as Stephen A. Smith, Ron DeSantis, John Fetterman, and Bill de Blasio. Clay and Buck then return to the New York terror case, describing viral video moments—like a progressive protester chanting “diversity is our strength” while an ISIS‑inspired attacker uses him as a literal springboard to throw an explosive—framing it as a symbolic illustration of Western naïveté in the face of extremism. The discussion expands into the cultural crisis of moral relativism, the rejection of American values, and the rise of anti‑American ideology among segments of the political left.

In the closing portion of Hour 2, the show shifts to technology and culture, with Clay arguing that Tesla’s self‑driving technology may become an advancement as transformative as the iPhone. Buck notes that Tesla is one of the most American-made cars on the market, pushing back on criticism that electric vehicles are tied to the “Green New Deal.” The hour wraps with commentary on innovation, Elon Musk’s influence, and the contrast between American technological progress and political dysfunction—including long TSA lines caused by government gridlock.
