In this episode, Lisa Boothe is joined by Daniel Di Martino of the Manhattan Institute to break down the stunning arrest Nicolás Maduro and what it means for Venezuela, the United States, and the global balance of power.
 
Daniel explains why Maduro’s arrest is being celebrated by many Venezuelans as a long-awaited moment of accountability and explores whether this development could finally open the door to a peaceful political transition. The conversation examines America’s strategic interests in Venezuela, including energy security, oil production, and the potential economic opportunities for U.S. companies if the country stabilizes.
 
Lisa and Daniel also analyze the broader geopolitical implications, including how Maduro’s downfall could weaken the influence of Russia, Iran, and China in the Western Hemisphere. Finally, they discuss the political backlash from the American left and what this moment reveals about U.S. foreign policy, regime change debates, and America’s role on the global stage.

The Truth with Lisa Boothe: Maduro Arrested: What It Means for Venezuela, U.S. Foreign Policy, and Global Power Politics

Twist of Irony
 
Clay and Buck dive into the fallout from the historic Delta Force raid in Venezuela, which captured Nicolás Maduro and killed 32 Cuban bodyguards. They explore the strategic implications of Operation Absolute Resolve, framing it as a modern reaffirmation of the Monroe Doctrine and a bold move by President Trump to reassert U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere. The hosts discuss how this operation signals a shift in global power dynamics, undermining Chinese and Russian influence and exposing the weakness of authoritarian regimes like Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran.
 
Republicans Stay at Hotels, Too
 
Hilton Hotels cut ties with a franchisee after reports surfaced that ICE agents’ reservations were canceled. Clay and Buck frame this as a major shift in corporate behavior, contrasting today’s swift response with the era of performative activism during 2020. They credit the Bud Light backlash as a turning point, warning brands against alienating half the country and highlighting Michael Jordan’s timeless advice: “Republicans buy sneakers too.”
 
From corporate culture, the discussion pivots to economic policy and tariffs, as Buck cites new research showing Trump’s tariff strategy did not fuel inflation, contrary to predictions by mainstream economists. Clay and Buck argue that tariffs, combined with strong GDP growth, could help balance the federal budget by 2026–2027 if upheld by the Supreme Court. They blast the failures of modern monetary theory and Biden-era spending, emphasizing common-sense economics and Trump’s vindication on trade policy.
 
What Happens in NY, Won't Stay in NY
 
Clay and Buck discussing the decline of New York City under Mayor Zohran Mamdani, warning that his radical socialist agenda—framed as replacing “rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism”—could devastate property rights and public safety. They highlight viral clips of Mamdani’s allies advocating for housing as a “collective good,” signaling a push toward shared equity models that undermine private ownership. The hosts argue this reflects the broader influence of unmarried progressive women on Democratic policy, calling them the driving force behind destructive cultural and political trends.
 
The conversation shifts to economic migration and the future of financial hubs, citing predictions that Miami and South Florida could replace New York as America’s financial capital, while tech billionaires flock to Texas. Clay and Buck attribute this to post-COVID remote work flexibility and tax advantages in states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee, contrasting these environments with high-tax states such as New York and California. They warn that as wealthy residents flee, blue states will raise taxes further, accelerating the exodus.
 
TX Rep. Chip Roy
 
An in-depth interview with Congressman Chip Roy, who praises President Trump’s bold leadership in Operation Absolute Resolve, the mission that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. Roy explains the strategic importance of stabilizing Venezuela, restoring its oil production, and preventing resources from flowing to adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran. He emphasizes that this is not “nation-building” but a critical move to secure the Western Hemisphere under the Trump Doctrine, strengthen U.S. energy independence, and protect national security. Roy also warns of challenges ahead, including corruption within Venezuela’s regime, and stresses the need for strong rule of law and economic recovery.
 
The discussion then pivots to the Somali daycare fraud scandal in Minnesota, which has rocked Governor Tim Walz’s political career. Clay and Buck play audio from Walz’s defiant press conference, where he vows not to resign despite mounting evidence of billions in fraudulent welfare payments. Roy underscores how grassroots investigations—like the viral exposé by a 23-year-old YouTuber—are filling the void left by legacy media, signaling a new era of citizen journalism and accountability. He calls for aggressive federal prosecutions, noting that fraud tied to federal funds warrants U.S. attorney involvement, and predicts that heads will roll as investigations expand nationwide.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jan 6 2026

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show launches the first Tuesday of 2026 with major political and geopolitical analysis. Clay and Buck dive into the fallout from the historic Delta Force raid in Venezuela, which captured Nicolás Maduro and killed 32 Cuban bodyguards once considered elite. They explore the strategic implications of Operation Absolute Resolve, framing it as a modern reaffirmation of the Monroe Doctrine and a bold move by President Trump to reassert U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere. The hosts discuss how this operation signals a shift in global power dynamics, undermining Chinese and Russian influence and exposing the weakness of authoritarian regimes like Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran.
 
The conversation also examines why Maduro’s vice president may now cooperate with the U.S., speculating on backchannel intelligence ties and the leverage America holds through oil production. Clay and Buck contrast Trump’s decisive leadership with past foreign policy failures, emphasizing lessons learned from Iraq and the importance of working with existing power structures rather than dismantling them. They argue that Trump’s approach could accelerate the collapse of socialism and communism in Latin America, likening this moment to the geopolitical realignment after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
 
Domestically, Hour 1 tackles the political implosion of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, whose career unraveled after his selection as Kamala Harris’s VP candidate brought national attention to the Somali daycare fraud scandal. Clay and Buck mock Democrats’ failed strategy to appeal to male voters by presenting Walz as an “avatar of masculinity,” calling him inauthentic and contrasting him with figures like Ron DeSantis. They speculate that Harris might have fared better with a different running mate, such as Gretchen Whitmer, and highlight how identity politics backfired spectacularly.
 
The hour also features sharp commentary on Cuba’s role in Maduro’s security, the legacy of Cold War-era Cuban intelligence training by the KGB, and the stunning superiority of U.S. special forces. Clay and Buck discuss broader territorial ambitions, including provocative ideas about making Cuba or even Greenland U.S. protectorates, citing historical precedents like Ulysses Grant’s failed plan to annex the Dominican Republic. They underscore how Trump’s foreign policy strength contrasts with decades of indecision, positioning America as a global power willing to act decisively.
 
Hour 1 closes with cultural and personal anecdotes, including Clay’s Caribbean holiday, Buck’s family updates, and playful banter about masculinity, home repair skills, and even hypothetical exile destinations for deposed dictators. The segment sets the tone for a year of bold analysis, humor, and unapologetic takes on politics, national security, and American strength.

Verdict with Ted Cruz: Maduro Arrested-Why Trump Ordered this Historic Attack & the Detailed Legal Basis for his Authority to Do So

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into explosive political and cultural commentary, major economic shifts, and breaking developments in U.S. foreign policy. The hour opens with Clay and Buck discussing the decline of New York City under Mayor Zohran Mamdani, warning that his radical socialist agenda—framed as replacing “rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism”—could devastate property rights and public safety. They highlight viral clips of Mamdani’s allies advocating for housing as a “collective good,” signaling a push toward shared equity models that undermine private ownership.

On foreign policy, the hour features an in-depth interview with Congressman Chip Roy, who praises President Trump’s bold leadership in Operation Absolute Resolve, the mission that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.

Hour 3 closes with sharp cultural commentary, humorous banter about movie Easter eggs (Dumb and Dumber references), and reflections on the importance of codifying Trump’s border security policies to prevent future reversals. Clay and Buck frame these stories as part of a larger battle for America’s future—against socialism, corruption, and media bias—while celebrating the rise of independent voices and decisive leadership.

Normally Podcast: Maduro Captured, Trump’s Bold Foreign Policy & Government Fraud in Minnesota

Welcome to 2026!
 
Clay and Buck break down the historic Delta Force raid that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, comparing its complexity to the Osama bin Laden mission. They detail how elite U.S. special operations forces executed a flawless plan involving cyber warfare, blackout tactics, rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, and intelligence precision—resulting in zero American casualties. The hosts emphasize the strategic implications for the Western Hemisphere, noting ripple effects on Russia, China, Cuba, and Iran, and how this bold move reinforces President Trump’s “mess around and find out” foreign policy.
 
Tim Walz Steps Down
 
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announces he will not seek reelection following a viral investigation into massive Somali daycare fraud. A 23-year-old YouTuber exposed empty storefronts posing as childcare centers, siphoning off millions in taxpayer funds. Clay and Buck detail how this scandal could involve up to $9 billion in fraudulent payments, nearly the GDP of Somalia, and note that over 100 indictments have already been filed. They question why U.S. taxpayers fund childcare for welfare recipients, arguing the program itself invites abuse. The segment explores cultural factors behind the fraud, the political fallout for Walz, and the growing power of independent media to topple entrenched politicians.
 
That Didn't Age Well, Chuck
 
The discussion explores Maduro’s arraignment in Manhattan federal court on drug trafficking and weapons charges, the future of Venezuela post-Maduro, and contrasts Trump’s decisive action with prior Democratic administrations. Clay and Buck highlight the hypocrisy of critics like Chuck Schumer and newly elected NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who condemned the operation as “regime change,” sparking debate over international law and U.S. national security priorities.
 
Operation Absolute Resolve
 
David Rutherford (aka Rut) former Navy SEAL and host on the Clay & Buck Podcast Network. Rutherford calls the Maduro operation “one of the top five best ops ever,” detailing the complexity, flawless coordination, and elite performance of JSOC units, Delta Force, and the 160th SOAR pilots. He compares the raid’s scale and sophistication to the Osama bin Laden mission, arguing that this operation was even more impressive. Rutherford emphasizes its global implications, warning cartels and hostile regimes that America is “done playing games” and projecting power with precision. He predicts increased operational tempo against Mexican cartels and underscores how this mission reshapes global power dynamics.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jan 5 2026

The first hour of today’s show kicks off 2026 with explosive news and in-depth analysis of one of the most daring U.S. military operations in decades. Clay and Buck break down the historic Delta Force raid that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, comparing its complexity to the Osama bin Laden mission. They detail how elite U.S. special operations forces executed a flawless plan involving cyber warfare, blackout tactics, rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, and intelligence precision—resulting in zero American casualties. The hosts emphasize the strategic implications for the Western Hemisphere, noting ripple effects on Russia, China, Cuba, and Iran, and how this bold move reinforces President Trump’s “mess around and find out” foreign policy.
 
The discussion explores Maduro’s arraignment in Manhattan federal court on drug trafficking and weapons charges, the future of Venezuela post-Maduro, and contrasts Trump’s decisive action with prior Democratic administrations. Clay and Buck highlight the hypocrisy of critics like Chuck Schumer and newly elected NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who condemned the operation as “regime change,” sparking debate over international law and U.S. national security priorities.
 
Listeners also hear about the collapse of Cuba’s oil lifeline, Venezuela’s economic freefall under socialism, and the potential for renewed prosperity in Latin America. The hosts underscore Venezuela’s former status as the third wealthiest nation in the Western Hemisphere and how socialist policies destroyed its oil production—from 3 million barrels per day to barely 1 million. They connect this to broader themes of communism’s failures, refugee realities, and the overwhelming support among Venezuelan-Americans for Maduro’s removal.
 
Hour 1 also touches on major domestic wins: the largest one-year drop in U.S. homicide rates, Trump-era economic momentum with 4.3% GDP growth, falling inflation, and lower interest rates. The segment closes with speculation on the Monroe Doctrine’s modern relevance and what this bold foreign policy means for America’s role in global stability.
