Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into explosive political and cultural stories shaping the national conversation. The hour begins with a deep look at the New Jersey governor’s race, where Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill faces scrutiny over allegations of questionable stock trades. Clay and Buck break down reports that Sherrill’s net worth skyrocketed from a few million to roughly $12 million while serving in Congress, despite an annual salary of $174,000. They discuss her awkward response to Charlemagne tha God’s question about making $7 million in trades and explore the broader issue of insider trading in Congress, calling for mandatory blind trusts or index fund requirements to restore public trust.
The conversation then pivots to breaking news: a guilty verdict in the second assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. The hosts detail how the would-be assassin set up a sniper position at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course just weeks after the Butler, Pennsylvania rally shooting. They highlight the alarming rise in left-wing political violence, citing a new Atlantic report showing far-left attacks now outnumber those by the far right for the first time in decades. Clay and Buck argue that incendiary rhetoric from Democrats—such as Kamala Harris comparing Trump to a “communist dictator” during her Rachel Maddow interview—fuels this dangerous trend.
The hour also covers media and cultural flashpoints, including Disney+ hiking subscription prices amid ongoing backlash over Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension and return. Clay and Buck note how streaming costs now rival or exceed traditional cable bills, undermining the original promise of savings. They also tackle the bizarre downfall of former media star Keith Olbermann, who issued an apology after a tweet interpreted as a violent threat against CNN’s Scott Jennings.
The hosts reflect on Olbermann’s trajectory from ESPN icon to MSNBC anchor to controversial figure, contrasting his past influence with his current controversies.
Listener calls and talkbacks close out the hour, featuring reactions to congressional stock trading scandals, Trump’s salary donation, and the tightening New Jersey governor’s race, where Republican Jack Ciattarelli is polling neck-and-neck with Sherrill. The segment ends with shocking courtroom drama: the convicted Trump assassin reportedly attempted self-harm after the verdict.
