Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jan 7 2026

Masterclass on Handling the Press

Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, gives a masterclass on handling the mainstream media.  Clay and Buck play his fiery exchange with a reporter from CNN trying to create a false narrative around Venezuela.  Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s comments on buying Greenland. Clay and Buck debate why territorial expansion is now considered taboo despite historical U.S. land acquisitions like the Virgin Islands purchase in 1917. They challenge the narrative that colonization was inherently negative, arguing Western civilization’s spread improved global living standards. The conversation raises provocative questions about Denmark’s control over Greenland and whether a plebiscite could pave the way for U.S. ownership.

ICE Officer Shooting

ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, where an immigration enforcement operation turned violent after a protester allegedly attempted to ram officers with her vehicle. Clay and Buck dissect the incident, emphasizing the legal justification for defensive action and the growing hostility toward federal law enforcement fueled by progressive politicians. They highlight alarming statistics on assaults and death threats against ICE agents and slam the hypocrisy of Democrats who champion law enforcement during January 6th hearings but vilify officers enforcing immigration law.

George Floyd 2.0?

Clay and Buck analyze video evidence showing the SUV accelerating toward an officer, reinforcing claims of self-defense. They blast Mayor Jacob Frey’s inflammatory remarks, including his demand for ICE to “get the F out” and his assertion that self-defense is “BS,” arguing these statements fuel unrest and prejudice any future trial. The hosts predict local prosecutors will pursue charges against the ICE agent for political gain, despite federal supremacy protections, and warn of potential riots reminiscent of the George Floyd era.

TN Sen. Marsha Blackburn

The conversation expands with TN Senator Marsha Blackburn’s insights, labeling the attack as “domestic terrorism” and citing alarming statistics: assaults on federal officers up 1,300% and death threats up 8,000%. Blackburn condemns sanctuary city policies for creating unsafe conditions and stresses the need for cooperation with ICE to prevent violent confrontations. She also weighs in on broader Trump administration initiatives, praising the capture of Nicolás Maduro, dismantling of Venezuelan drug cartels, and the strategic plan to stabilize Venezuela through controlled oil sales—30 to 50 million barrels earmarked for U.S. markets. The senator highlights the geopolitical importance of Greenland, noting its independence movement, U.S. military presence, and its role in countering Russian and Chinese influence. Discussion also touches on Cuba’s shifting dynamics, as economic pressure from Venezuela’s collapse and China’s reduced support sparks democratic aspirations among younger Cubans.

Hour 1 - Masterclass on Handling the Press

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into major breaking news and bold geopolitical strategies shaping America’s future. The discussion kicks off with the White House briefing led by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt following the dramatic arrest of Nicolás Maduro. Clay and Buck analyze the Trump administration’s decisive actions in Venezuela, including the plan to seize 30–50 million barrels of sanctioned oil and sell them at market price to benefit both Venezuelans and Americans. They emphasize how controlling Venezuela’s oil supply cripples the regime and strengthens U.S. leverage in the hemisphere.

The hosts also explore the impact of falling global oil prices, noting how Russia’s war chest for Ukraine depends on high energy revenues. With oil hovering near four-year lows, Clay and Buck credit America’s fracking boom for transforming the U.S. into an energy superpower, bolstering national security and undercutting adversaries like Russia and Iran. They even touch on how climate change rhetoric has faded amid the energy demands of AI innovation.

Another headline-grabbing topic: Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s comments on buying Greenland. Clay and Buck debate why territorial expansion is now considered taboo despite historical U.S. land acquisitions like the Virgin Islands purchase in 1917. They challenge the narrative that colonization was inherently negative, arguing Western civilization’s spread improved global living standards. The conversation raises provocative questions about Denmark’s control over Greenland and whether a plebiscite could pave the way for U.S. ownership.
The hour also highlights Trump’s Truth Social announcement banning large institutional investors from buying single-family homes, aiming to restore housing affordability for everyday Americans. Clay and Buck break down the data on investor-owned properties and discuss how this policy could reshape the real estate market.

Finally, the show praises the Trump administration’s communication strategy and its ability to outmaneuver legacy media critics. From Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s fiery CNN rebuttal to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s mastery of press briefings, Clay and Buck underscore how Trump’s team combines sharp judgment with superior messaging.

Hour 2 - ICE Officer Shooting 

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers intense coverage of breaking news and critical political analysis. The hour opens with the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, where an immigration enforcement operation turned violent after a protester allegedly attempted to ram officers with her vehicle. Clay and Buck dissect the incident, emphasizing the legal justification for defensive action and the growing hostility toward federal law enforcement fueled by progressive politicians. They highlight alarming statistics on assaults and death threats against ICE agents and slam the hypocrisy of Democrats who champion law enforcement during January 6th hearings but vilify officers enforcing immigration law.

The conversation pivots to viral video footage of the shooting, which appears to support ICE’s account, and the inflammatory response from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who told ICE to “get the F out” of the city and dismissed claims of self-defense as “BS.” Clay and Buck underscore how rhetoric from leaders like Frey and former Governor Tim Walz has emboldened anti-ICE extremism, creating a climate of lawlessness. Guest Michelle Tafoya joins to share her perspective as a Minnesota resident, lamenting the state’s decline since the George Floyd riots and warning that woke policies have eroded public safety. She suggests political tides may be shifting as voters tire of chaos and fraud scandals, raising the possibility of Republican gains in statewide elections.

In addition to law enforcement issues, the hosts revisit President Trump’s bold housing affordability plan, which aims to ban large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. They note the immediate market reaction, including a 10% drop in BlackRock’s stock, and explore how curbing corporate ownership could help younger Americans achieve homeownership. Clay and Buck also connect immigration enforcement to housing costs, arguing that reducing illegal immigration could ease rental and home price pressures.


Throughout the hour, the show frames these developments within broader themes of law and order, border security, and economic fairness, contrasting Trump’s proactive policies with the chaos in Democrat-led cities. The discussion closes with a fiery critique of progressive leadership and a call for restoring sanity in states like Minnesota.

Hour 3 - George Floyd 2.0?

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a high-stakes discussion on breaking news and major geopolitical developments. The hour begins with the fatal ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, where a woman allegedly weaponized her vehicle during an immigration enforcement operation. Clay and Buck analyze video evidence showing the SUV accelerating toward an officer, reinforcing claims of self-defense. They blast Mayor Jacob Frey’s inflammatory remarks, including his demand for ICE to “get the F out” and his assertion that self-defense is “BS,” arguing these statements fuel unrest and prejudice any future trial. The hosts predict local prosecutors will pursue charges against the ICE agent for political gain, despite federal supremacy protections, and warn of potential riots reminiscent of the George Floyd era.

The conversation expands with Senator Marsha Blackburn’s insights, labeling the attack as “domestic terrorism” and citing alarming statistics: assaults on federal officers up 1,300% and death threats up 8,000%. Blackburn condemns sanctuary city policies for creating unsafe conditions and stresses the need for cooperation with ICE to prevent violent confrontations. She also weighs in on broader Trump administration initiatives, praising the capture of Nicolás Maduro, dismantling of Venezuelan drug cartels, and the strategic plan to stabilize Venezuela through controlled oil sales—30 to 50 million barrels earmarked for U.S. markets. The senator highlights the geopolitical importance of Greenland, noting its independence movement, U.S. military presence, and its role in countering Russian and Chinese influence. Discussion also touches on Cuba’s shifting dynamics, as economic pressure from Venezuela’s collapse and China’s reduced support sparks democratic aspirations among younger Cubans.

In a positive domestic turn, Blackburn celebrates a historic drop in violent crime, spotlighting Memphis as a success story where federal and state collaboration cut crime rates by 50% in just 100 days. Over 5,000 arrests, 800 illegal firearms seized, and hundreds of gang leaders removed underscore the Trump administration’s law-and-order approach.


Hour 3 closes with Clay and Buck warning that Democrats will exploit the Minneapolis shooting for political theater, predicting a prolonged legal battle over federal versus state jurisdiction. They frame the debate as a test of America’s commitment to rule of law, border security, and public safety, contrasting Trump’s decisive leadership with progressive chaos.
