Daily Review with Clay and Buck - May 13 2025

Hour 1 - This is NOT Old News

"We Called It" is the Clay and Buck "See, I Told You So."  The hosts discuss President Donald Trump's speech in Saudi Arabia, highlighting his efforts to secure a trillion-dollar Gulf investment in the U.S. economy. They also touch on positive economic indicators, including a drop in inflation to 2.3%, and call for the Federal Reserve to initiate interest rate cuts.

A major segment of the hour is dedicated to the explosive revelations from an upcoming book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, which alleges that President Biden’s physical and cognitive decline was so severe that aides considered he might need a wheelchair post-election. Clay and Buck argue that legacy media outlets like CNN and NBC knowingly misled the public about Biden’s condition to protect his candidacy and defeat Trump. They assert that this media cover-up is part of a broader pattern of misinformation, comparing it to the media’s handling of COVID-19 and the Russia collusion narrative.

The hosts also criticize the mainstream media’s sudden shift in tone, suggesting that journalists are now attempting to rehabilitate their credibility by admitting Biden’s decline only after the election. They play a montage of past clips from CNN’s Jake Tapper, illustrating what they describe as a stark contrast between his previous defenses of Biden and his current reporting.

Clay and Buck further explore the political implications of Biden’s withdrawal from the race, the Democratic Party’s internal struggles, and Vice President Kamala Harris’s perceived weaknesses as a candidate. They speculate on the strategic missteps that led to Biden participating in the June 27th debate, which they believe was a turning point in the election cycle.

The hour also includes commentary on the state of the media landscape, the decline of fact-checking, and the erosion of public trust in traditional journalism. The hosts emphasize the importance of alternative media voices and celebrate their own track record of accurate predictions on major issues like COVID-19, Biden’s health, and the 2024 election outcome.

In a lighter segment, Buck shares his excitement over the New York Knicks’ playoff performance, reflecting on his lifelong fandom and the team’s resurgence. The hour wraps up with investment advice from Clay, encouraging long-term thinking in the stock market, and a plug for their Crockett Coffee brand.

Hour 2 - Trump in Saudi Arabia

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a compelling mix of political analysis, breaking news, and cultural commentary, with a sharp focus on President Donald Trump’s foreign policy initiatives, President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, and the unraveling credibility of legacy media.

The hour begins with a personal update from Buck about fatherhood before shifting to major geopolitical developments. The hosts spotlight President Trump’s high-profile visit to Saudi Arabia, where he announced a historic $600 billion investment deal aimed at strengthening U.S.-Middle East relations. Trump’s speech emphasized peace, innovation, and a firm stance against a nuclear-armed Iran, reinforcing his administration’s commitment to global stability and economic diplomacy.

Clay and Buck then turn to explosive revelations about former President Joe Biden’s mental fitness. They analyze a new Axios report and excerpts from an upcoming book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, which claim Biden failed to recognize longtime acquaintance George Clooney at a 2024 fundraiser. The hosts argue this incident is emblematic of a broader cover-up by the Democratic Party and mainstream media, who allegedly concealed Biden’s cognitive decline from the public, donors, and even members of his own cabinet.

Speculating on Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race, Clay and Buck suggest he was pressured to step down following his disastrous June 27th debate performance—possibly under threat of the 25th Amendment. They theorize that high-ranking Democrats, potentially including Barack Obama, orchestrated Biden’s exit to preserve party control and avoid a constitutional crisis. The hosts revisit the dramatic timeline: Biden’s debate collapse, the attempted assassination of Trump, and Biden’s withdrawal—all within a three-week span that they argue will be studied for generations.

Throughout the hour, the duo criticizes the mainstream media’s complicity in shielding Biden, calling out CNN’s Jake Tapper for only acknowledging the truth post-election. They emphasize that conservative media, including their own show, accurately reported on Biden’s decline in real time, while legacy outlets discredited dissenting voices and misled the public.

The hour concludes with historical comparisons to the 1944 election and President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s hidden health issues, drawing parallels to Biden’s final years in office.

Hour 3 - Bring the Best to America 

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a fiery and thought-provoking discussion centered on immigration, race politics, and media hypocrisy, with a spotlight on the controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s decision to welcome approximately 50 white South African migrants into the United States. This hour dives deep into the cultural and political backlash from the left, exposing what the hosts describe as the Democratic Party’s selective outrage and racial double standards.

Clay and Buck begin by highlighting the stark contrast between the left’s outrage over a small group of legal, white South African immigrants and their years-long support for millions of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border. They argue that the backlash reveals a deeper issue within the Democratic Party—what they call an entrenched anti-white sentiment and a fractured identity politics coalition that is increasingly alienating working-class and minority voters.

The hosts explore the deteriorating conditions in South Africa, including racially motivated land seizures, violence against white farmers, and political rhetoric from South African leaders that openly threatens the white minority. They play clips from South African political figures and U.S. media pundits, including a controversial MSNBC segment defending land redistribution and CNN commentary suggesting white South Africans should “go back to Germany or Holland.” Clay and Buck challenge this logic, questioning how long someone must live in a country to be considered native and drawing parallels to American immigration debates.

The conversation expands into a broader critique of the left’s immigration policies, arguing for a merit-based system that prioritizes skilled, English-speaking immigrants who can contribute to the U.S. economy. They compare immigration to a professional sports draft, advocating for America to “draft” the best and brightest from around the world rather than importing unskilled labor.

The hour also features listener reactions, including calls for CNN’s Jake Tapper to appear on the show and answer for his past coverage of President Biden’s cognitive decline. Clay and Buck debate whether Tapper should be held accountable for what they see as media complicity in covering up Biden’s unfitness for office.

In a lighter segment, the hosts celebrate the New York Knicks’ playoff success and share a humorous anecdote about Clay’s wife defending King Henry VIII’s legacy—aside from the beheadings.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - May 12 2025

Release of American Hostage Edan Alexander

 

The release of American hostage Edan Alexander from Hamas custody is celebrated as a significant diplomatic win. Clay and Buck credit Trump’s administration for prioritizing American lives abroad and securing the release of hostages in hostile regions. They also discuss the controversy surrounding a luxury jet reportedly gifted by Qatar, framing it as a distraction from Trump’s broader achievements, including a reported $1 trillion in Middle East investment commitments.

 

Trump Gives Refugee Status to South Africans

 

Clay and Buck begin the hour with lighthearted nostalgia about voicemail and Sports Illustrated, before transitioning into a serious discussion about the Trump administration’s decision to resettle 50 white South African refugees in the United States.

 

The hosts explore the backlash from mainstream media and progressive institutions, including the Episcopal Church’s refusal to assist in the resettlement, framing it as a glaring double standard in U.S. immigration policy. They contrast the outrage over these 50 legal refugees with the lack of scrutiny over the millions of illegal immigrants who crossed the southern border under the Biden administration. Trump’s comments on the racial violence and land seizures in South Africa are highlighted, as well as the broader issue of state-sponsored discrimination and the erosion of safety in the region.

 

Nick Adams on Trump's Comeback

 

Nick Adams, author of the upcoming book "From Mar-a-Lago to Mars: President Trump’s Great American Comeback." Adams discusses Trump’s resilience, masculinity, and cultural influence, particularly among young men and athletes. He argues that Trump’s authenticity and refusal to conform have made him a symbol of strength and leadership, not just in America but across the Western world.

 

Dr. Nicole Saphier Joins the C&B Pod Network

 

The hour begins with the introduction of Dr. Nicole Saphier, a board-certified radiologist and Fox News contributor, who joins the Clay and Buck Podcast Network with her new show, "Wellness Unmasked." Dr. Saphier discusses her goals for the podcast, which will focus on cutting through misinformation in health and wellness, from cold plunges and saunas to chronic illness and food science.

 

A major topic of discussion is President Trump’s executive order aimed at lowering prescription drug prices. Dr. Saphier explains the significance of this move, noting that unlike President Biden’s limited Medicare-focused efforts, Trump’s plan targets broader negotiations across Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers. She highlights the legal and political challenges ahead, particularly from Big Pharma, but praises the administration’s aggressive stance on healthcare affordability.

 

The conversation shifts to the controversial nomination of Dr. Casey Means as Surgeon General. Dr. Saphier critiques the pick, citing Means’ lack of completed medical training and limited clinical experience. She emphasizes the need for a unifying, credible figure in public health who aligns with both the “Make America Great Again” and “Make America Healthy Again” movements.

 

In a rapid-fire “lightning round,” Dr. Saphier weighs in on popular wellness trends like infrared saunas and cold plunges, offering practical insights into their health benefits. Clay and Buck also share personal anecdotes about their own experiences with these trends, adding humor and relatability to the segment.
