From the border crisis, to the madness of cancel culture and far-left missteps, Clay and Buck guide listeners through the latest headlines and hot topics with fun and entertaining conversations and opinions.

The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

Why are millennials and Gen Z having less sex than previous generations? On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, neuroscientist and author Dr. Debra Soh joins Karol to discuss the growing “sex recession” and the cultural forces driving it.
 
Drawing from her new book Sextinction: The Decline of Sex and the Future of Intimacy, Dr. Soh explains how dating apps, social media, pornography, declining testosterone, and loneliness are reshaping modern relationships. She also explores how technology—from AI companions to sex robots—could dramatically change dating, intimacy, and even reproduction in the near future.
 
Karol and Dr. Soh dive into why young men are increasingly shut out of the dating market, how screens are weakening social skills, and what the long-term consequences could be for society. They also discuss the politicization of science, Dr. Soh’s departure from academia, and practical advice for rebuilding real-world relationships in a digital age.

The Karol Markowicz Show: Why Young People Are Having Less Sex: Dr. Debra Soh on the ‘Sex Recession,’ Dating Apps, Porn, and AI Relationships

FOUR Terror Attacks in Ten Days—And Still Democrats Refuse to Fund DHS
 
In one of the most urgent, sobering, and high‑stakes episodes of Verdict with Ted Cruz this year, Senator Ted Cruz and co‑host Ben Ferguson break down a reality that should shake Washington to its core: four radical Islamic terror attacks in just ten days on U.S. soil—at the exact moment Senate Democrats continue voting to defund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
 
This episode is a warning flare, a deep dive, and a call to wake up—all in one. For longtime Verdict listeners, it offers the rigorous analysis you expect from Senator Cruz, paired with the kind of blunt, real‑world commentary Ben delivers better than anyone. But even for seasoned followers of national security issues, the facts outlined in this conversation hit different.
 
Because this time, the danger isn’t theoretical.
 
This time, Americans are already dead.
 
A Nation Under Threat: Four Attacks in Ten Days
 
Senator Cruz begins the show by laying out the undeniable reality: America is in an extraordinarily dangerous moment. While the world watches instability flare across the Middle East, radical Islamic clerics have issued fatwas calling for attacks on Americans. And here at home, the consequences of the Biden administration’s open‑border agenda have started to unfold in deadly ways.
 
Over the past decade, Americans have seen terror plots emerge periodically—but rarely have we seen a cluster like this:
 
1. A Radicalized Shooter in Austin, Texas
 
An illegal immigrant walked onto Austin’s iconic Sixth Street wearing a “Property of Allah” sweatshirt, carrying weapons, and armed with a Quran and an Iranian flag. He opened fire at random, attempting to murder innocent Americans enjoying a night out.
 
2. Two ISIS‑Inspired Teens Attempt Bombings in New York
 
Two teenagers from Pennsylvania traveled to New York with homemade explosive devices packed with nails, screws, and bolts—designed explicitly for maximum casualties. Inspired by ISIS, they told investigators their goal was to kill more people than died in the Boston Marathon bombing. Thankfully for New Yorkers, the bombs failed to detonate.
 
3. A Vehicle Attack on a Michigan Synagogue and School
 
A radical Islamic terrorist drove his vehicle into a synagogue that also housed a preschool. With 140 children nearby, the situation could easily have been catastrophic. Only the bravery of an on‑site security guard prevented a mass casualty event.
 
4. A Released ISIS Supporter Attacks ROTC Students in Old Dominion
 
Perhaps the most enraging example: a terrorist convicted for providing material support to ISIS—released early under the Biden administration—entered a university classroom, asked for ROTC students by name, and then opened fire. A courageous student armed with a knife ended the attack before dozens could be killed.
 
Senator Cruz highlights that all four attacks share a common thread: every single one was committed by radical Islamic terrorists—several of whom were here because of the Biden administration’s catastrophic border policies.
 
The Border Crisis: A Gateway for Terrorists
 
The hosts then lay out the jaw‑dropping border numbers the mainstream media refuses to touch.
 
During the four years of President Trump’s administration, the number of individuals on the terror watch list caught crossing the southern border remained tiny—just a handful per year.
 
Then Joe Biden took office.
 
 2021: • 15
 2022: • 98
 2023: • 169
 2024: • More than 100 and climbing rapidly
 
And those staggering numbers don’t include the estimated two million “got-aways”—illegal immigrants detected but never apprehended. As Senator Cruz explains, these are overwhelmingly the most dangerous border crossers: criminals, gang members, violent offenders… and terrorists.
 
Under Biden, Border Patrol agents were explicitly warned to watch for potential infiltrators from Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad—yet the administration still kept the border effectively wide open.
 
Verdict listeners have known this truth for years: this wasn’t incompetence. This was policy. And as we now see, it has consequences.
 
Democrats Vote—Again—to Defund DHS
 
As if four terror attacks in ten days weren’t alarming enough, Senator Cruz reveals one of the most unbelievable details of the week: Senate Democrats once again voted to defund the Department of Homeland Security, the very agency tasked with stopping terror attacks.
 
Every Republican voted to fund it.
 
Every Democrat except Sen. John Fetterman voted to defund it.
 
Why? Because progressive activists hate ICE.
 
But here’s the kicker: ICE is already fully funded for the year—thanks to proactive action by Republicans in a previous reconciliation bill.
 
So Democrats are not “standing up to ICE.” They are:
 
 • Defunding TSA
 • Defunding FEMA
 • Defunding the Coast Guard
 • Defunding border and counter‑terror personnel
 • Defunding the staff tracking terror threats inside the U.S.
 
Cruz describes scenes across the country where TSA agents are working without pay, stuck in four‑hour airport lines, many moonlighting as Uber drivers just to feed their families. Some are quitting. Coast Guard families can’t pay rent. DHS intelligence officials—those tracking terror threats this very moment—are going unpaid.
 
All while radical Islamic terrorists carry out attacks on American soil.
 
And Democrats, as Sen. Brian Schatz put it, feel “serene” about it.
 
Why Democrats “Feel Serene”: A Broken, Complicit Media
 
Senator Cruz and Ben Ferguson devote a major portion of the episode to the role of the media—because in their view, it’s the media’s deliberate indifference that lets Democrats get away with defunding national security during an active terror wave.
 
Cruz highlights the astounding example of CNN’s coverage of the attempted bombing in New York. CNN described the two ISIS‑inspired attackers as:
 “Two Pennsylvania teenagers… enjoying the warm weather.” 
No mention of ISIS.
 
No mention of terror motives.
 
No mention of the homemade shrapnel bombs.
 
When called out, CNN quietly deleted the tweet.
 
Then CNN host Abby Phillip falsely claimed the bombs were thrown at New York’s left‑wing mayor—even though they were thrown at protesters who opposed him. She later issued a correction, but even the correction was misleading, implying she had simply failed to correct a guest… when she herself delivered the inaccurate reporting.
 
To Senator Cruz, this wasn’t a mistake—it was a pattern.
 
The corporate media refuses to acknowledge:
 
 • Radical Islamic terrorism
 • The connection between Biden’s border policies and domestic threats
 • The Democrats’ votes to defund DHS
 • The fact that Americans are already dying
 
As Cruz puts it:
 
“They know the press will never hold them to account. That’s why they feel ‘serene.’”
 
The Ideology Problem: Why Leftists Refuse to Say “Radical Islamic Terrorism”
 
In one of the most clarifying explanations of the episode, Senator Cruz draws the distinction between being Muslim and being an Islamist—an adherent of a violent political ideology that uses terror to advance its goals.
 
There are more than a billion peaceful Muslims worldwide.
 
Islamists, by contrast, subscribe to a worldview rooted in violent jihad.
 
Senator Cruz explains that during the Obama years, DHS was instructed—via an actual email—to purge terms like:
 
 • “Jihad”
 • “Muslim Brotherhood”
 • “Radical Islamic terrorism”
 
Over 800 records were modified or deleted.
 
The administration could not diagnose threats because it refused to name them.
 
Cruz argues that this very ideology now drives the modern Left: an unwillingness to confront the reality of Islamist terrorism for fear of being politically incorrect. And when the media echoes that refusal, the consequences become deadly.
 
An Unexpected Uplift: The Viral “Born‑Again AI” Response
 
After nearly an hour of heavy but essential discussion, Senator Cruz closes with something remarkably uplifting—an extended reflection from the AI system Claude, responding to a question about whether it would embrace Christianity if it were human.
 
The response is deeply theological, historically literate, and shockingly profound. Cruz reads several passages on air, noting its insights about the Bible’s honesty, the coherence of Scripture, the evidence for the Resurrection, and Christianity’s view of human nature.
 
It is a rare moment of inspiration in a sobering episode, and listeners immediately understood why Cruz chose to end the show on that note. Even in dangerous times—perhaps especially then—faith offers hope.
 
Final Thoughts: Danger Is Rising, and Leadership Matters
 
This episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz is a case study in what real leadership sounds like in a time of crisis. Senator Cruz and Ben Ferguson outline a threat environment unlike anything we’ve seen in years:
 
 • Radical Islamic terror attacks on U.S. soil
 • An open border exploited by America’s enemies
 • A DHS stripped of funding by Democrats
 • A media refusing to report the truth
 • A political class that feels “serene” amidst rising danger
 
For fans of the show—and for millions of Americans worried about their families’ safety—the message is clear: this is not the moment for political games. The stakes are too high, the dangers too real, and the failures too catastrophic to ignore.

Verdict with Ted Cruz: FOUR Terror Attacks in Ten Days, and Still Dems Won't Fund DHS

Why Buck Joined the CIA
 

Clay Travis & Buck Sexton recap four confirmed jihadist‑motivated attacks within a two‑week span: the deadly Austin, Texas shooting by an attacker wearing pro‑Iran and Islamic clothing; the attempted IED attack outside New York City’s Gracie Mansion; the mass‑casualty attempt at Temple Israel near Detroit, where an armed synagogue security officer killed the would‑be bomber; and the horrifying classroom attack at Old Dominion University in Virginia, where a convicted terror sympathizer opened fire on ROTC students before being killed in hand‑to‑hand combat by the cadets. The hosts repeatedly emphasize that all four attackers shared the same ideological motive, each acting in response to the ongoing U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran. Buck, drawing on his CIA counterterrorism background after 9/11, explains that this pattern is exactly what intelligence analysts anticipate following major U.S. strikes on jihadist‑aligned regimes, and he predicts that more lone‑wolf or sleeper‑cell events are highly likely.
The hour also focuses heavily on updated messaging from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, whose early‑morning briefings continue dominating national conversation. Clay and Buck play and analyze Hegseth’s latest remarks confirming that Iran’s newly elevated figurehead, Mojtaba Khamenei—nicknamed “Little Mo”—is gravely injured, likely disfigured, and incapable of appearing on camera, forcing the regime to issue written statements pretending he is functional. Hegseth asserts that Iran’s leadership is hiding underground in bunkers and is unable to coordinate an effective counterattack, leaving the regime temporarily paralyzed as U.S. and Israeli forces dismantle its missile defenses, airfields, and naval assets. Buck notes that while the air campaign has been strategically devastating to Iran, the regime is not collapsing; the IRGC remains in control, citizens are too terrified to revolt, and true regime change is not in sight without boots on the ground—a step neither Trump nor the American public would support.
 

Steve Hilton Can Save CA
 

California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton, who discusses both lighthearted personal moments—such as his now‑famous “MAGA beard”—and the serious policy battles unfolding in the state. Hilton details the massive hospice and medical fraud uncovered through Califraud.com, explaining that billions in state funds have been siphoned off by corrupt networks tied directly to Democratic donors, including healthcare interests and government‑aligned unions. He emphasizes that this is not incompetence but systemic corruption, fueled by a political machine that profits from fraudulent schemes while taxpayers suffer. Hilton outlines his reform agenda, including the role of the state controller, who would have the power to audit and immediately shut off funding to fraudulent organizations—an authority he argues is essential for restoring accountability in California.
Much of Hour 2 focuses on the escalating California governor’s race under the state’s “top‑two” jungle primary system. Hilton explains that Democrats are consolidating behind Eric Swalwell, who is rapidly rising in polls thanks to backing from major unions and the Nancy Pelosi political machine. Hilton warns that if Republicans split their vote between him and his GOP rival, Chad Bianco—whom he criticizes for taking a knee for BLM and supporting amnesty—California could end up with a general‑election matchup between Swalwell and billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer. He cites current RealClearPolitics averages showing him in the lead among Republicans and stresses that unifying behind a single conservative candidate is the only path to making the November ballot. Hilton and Clay also discuss California’s sky‑high gas prices, with Hilton explaining that Democratic environmental extremism—not global events—is responsible for the state’s $2‑per‑gallon premium over the national average. He reveals that California sits atop enormous untapped oil reserves, yet imports nearly 80% of its oil due to regulatory chokeholds that have shut down pipelines and refineries. Hilton pledges that as governor he will end the state’s war on fossil fuels, reopen production, keep refineries alive, and bring gasoline back to $3 a gallon.
 

Taxes, Taxes, Taxes
 

Clay and Buck focus on one of the most consequential long‑term demographic and political shifts underway in the United States: the accelerating exodus of high‑income earners from high‑tax blue states to low‑tax red states. Clay opens the hour by explaining that California, New York, Illinois, and Washington are driving away wealth at historic levels through aggressive tax proposals, including Washington State’s proposed 9.9% income tax on individuals earning $1 million or more, and New York City’s push—led by Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani—for a staggering 50% estate tax on assets valued at just $750,000. Clay argues that these tax thresholds capture not the ultra‑rich, but ordinary homeowners struggling with high cost of living. He notes that the data show these tax policies consistently backfire by reducing overall tax revenue as wealthy residents flee and take their businesses, jobs, and philanthropic activity with them. Clay cites real‑world examples from his own neighborhood and Buck’s community, where former residents of blue states—many fed up with dysfunctional governance—now populate Tennessee and Florida in growing numbers.
Buck expands on the theme by separating high‑net‑worth movers into two groups: those like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel who recognize that Democratic governance is destructive and relocate accordingly, and those like Howard Schultz who flee to red states for financial reasons but continue donating to Democrats and supporting policies that undermine the very states they move into. Clay and Buck emphasize that the influx of right‑leaning migrants has strengthened red states politically rather than turning them purple. Florida’s voter rolls, for example, have shifted dramatically toward the GOP, thanks in large part to conservative‑leaning transplants from New York and New Jersey. Meanwhile, Texas has faced a different challenge from certain California migrants, particularly in Austin, who bring progressive voting patterns with them. This contrast highlights the increasingly polarized demographic realignment shaping the country’s political future.
 

Actor Daniel Roebuck
 

Interview with actor, writer, and director Daniel Roebuck, promoting his new film The Hail Mary, a heartfelt faith‑based comedy about redemption, family, and purpose set within a Catholic school’s football program. Roebuck discusses the movie’s themes, the influence of his Catholic upbringing, and the need for more wholesome, values‑focused storytelling in a Hollywood culture dominated by shallow, politically homogenized entertainment. Clay and Buck engage Roebuck in a lively discussion of his career, including his iconic role in The Fugitive, his time on major television series like Lost and The Man in the High Castle, and the growing appetite for independent films that push back against Hollywood’s ideological conformity.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Mar 13 2026

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show begins with both hosts broadcasting from Florida as Clay navigates spring break with a house full of teenagers, but the lighthearted opening quickly shifts to the escalating wave of Islamic extremist terror attacks across the United States. Clay and Buck recap four confirmed jihadist‑motivated attacks within a two‑week span: the deadly Austin, Texas shooting by an attacker wearing pro‑Iran and Islamic clothing; the attempted IED attack outside New York City’s Gracie Mansion; the mass‑casualty attempt at Temple Israel near Detroit, where an armed synagogue security officer killed the would‑be bomber; and the horrifying classroom attack at Old Dominion University in Virginia, where a convicted terror sympathizer opened fire on ROTC students before being killed in hand‑to‑hand combat by the cadets. The hosts repeatedly emphasize that all four attackers shared the same ideological motive, each acting in response to the ongoing U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran. Buck, drawing on his CIA counterterrorism background after 9/11, explains that this pattern is exactly what intelligence analysts anticipate following major U.S. strikes on jihadist‑aligned regimes, and he predicts that more lone‑wolf or sleeper‑cell events are highly likely.
 
The hour also focuses heavily on updated messaging from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, whose early‑morning briefings continue dominating national conversation. Clay and Buck play and analyze Hegseth’s latest remarks confirming that Iran’s newly elevated figurehead, Mojtaba Khamenei—nicknamed “Little Mo”—is gravely injured, likely disfigured, and incapable of appearing on camera, forcing the regime to issue written statements pretending he is functional. Hegseth asserts that Iran’s leadership is hiding underground in bunkers and is unable to coordinate an effective counterattack, leaving the regime temporarily paralyzed as U.S. and Israeli forces dismantle its missile defenses, airfields, and naval assets. Buck notes that while the air campaign has been strategically devastating to Iran, the regime is not collapsing; the IRGC remains in control, citizens are too terrified to revolt, and true regime change is not in sight without boots on the ground—a step neither Trump nor the American public would support.
 
Clay and Buck explore multiple strategic theories circulating about the next phase of the Iran conflict. Clay references analysis suggesting that Little Mo may only be a symbolic placeholder while more moderate Iranian factions quietly negotiate with the U.S. behind the scenes; Buck strongly doubts this, arguing the regime is too fear‑driven and too brutal for internal moderation to emerge under bombardment. Clay also raises the provocative military proposal of U.S. and Israeli special forces seizing Iran’s critical oil‑refining hub on Kharg Island—responsible for processing approximately 90 percent of Iran’s crude—as a way to cripple the regime without a full‑scale invasion. Buck explains the immense geopolitical consequences such a move would trigger but acknowledges why strategists find the idea compelling, given refined oil is Iran’s economic lifeline.
 
The hosts then return to the domestic terror threats, praising the extraordinary bravery of U.S. citizens who stopped these attacks. Clay reads a full tribute to Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shaw, the highly decorated ROTC commander killed during the Old Dominion attack. Shaw’s students fought the gunman bare‑handed and killed him before he could inflict mass casualties—a display of courage that Clay and Buck argue exemplifies America’s resilience. They contrast these heroics with the dangerous disarming policies Democrats push nationwide, reiterating that every successful intervention in these attacks involved a “good guy with a gun” or an armed security officer. The hosts argue forcefully for armed security in every school and religious facility, calling it a necessary protection in an era where America is facing a clear resurgence of jihadist terrorism.
 
Hour 1 closes with discussions about firearm ownership, rising gun purchases among suburban women, and the collapse of the Democratic narrative that “white supremacy is the greatest threat” to national security despite the undeniable pattern of jihadist attacks. Clay and Buck end the hour honoring six U.S. service members killed in a mid‑air refueling accident in Iraq, reminding listeners that the Iran conflict—though tactically successful—is not cost‑free. They preview upcoming interviews, including an in‑depth conversation with California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton as the state heads toward a chaotic top‑two primary.

Hour 1 - Why Buck Joined the CIA

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show centers on the high‑stakes California gubernatorial race and the political, economic, and security crises gripping the nation. The hour opens with Clay and Buck welcoming California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton, who discusses both lighthearted personal moments—such as his now‑famous “MAGA beard”—and the serious policy battles unfolding in the state. Hilton details the massive hospice and medical fraud uncovered through Califraud.com, explaining that billions in state funds have been siphoned off by corrupt networks tied directly to Democratic donors, including healthcare interests and government‑aligned unions. He emphasizes that this is not incompetence but systemic corruption, fueled by a political machine that profits from fraudulent schemes while taxpayers suffer. Hilton outlines his reform agenda, including the role of the state controller, who would have the power to audit and immediately shut off funding to fraudulent organizations—an authority he argues is essential for restoring accountability in California.
 
Much of Hour 2 focuses on the escalating California governor’s race under the state’s “top‑two” jungle primary system. Hilton explains that Democrats are consolidating behind Eric Swalwell, who is rapidly rising in polls thanks to backing from major unions and the Nancy Pelosi political machine. Hilton warns that if Republicans split their vote between him and his GOP rival, Chad Bianco—whom he criticizes for taking a knee for BLM and supporting amnesty—California could end up with a general‑election matchup between Swalwell and billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer. He cites current RealClearPolitics averages showing him in the lead among Republicans and stresses that unifying behind a single conservative candidate is the only path to making the November ballot. Hilton and Clay also discuss California’s sky‑high gas prices, with Hilton explaining that Democratic environmental extremism—not global events—is responsible for the state’s $2‑per‑gallon premium over the national average. He reveals that California sits atop enormous untapped oil reserves, yet imports nearly 80% of its oil due to regulatory chokeholds that have shut down pipelines and refineries. Hilton pledges that as governor he will end the state’s war on fossil fuels, reopen production, keep refineries alive, and bring gasoline back to $3 a gallon.
 
The final half of Hour 2 turns to breaking national‑security stories and the media’s increasingly distorted coverage of terrorism. Clay and Buck highlight how ABC News framed the Michigan synagogue attack as a reaction to the suspect’s family losses in Lebanon—an attempt to rationalize a jihadist terror act, they argue, that the media would never extend to victims of anti‑Jewish terrorism. The hosts contrast the media’s sympathy for attackers with the heroism of everyday Americans who have stopped recent terror attempts. Buck revisits the Old Dominion University attack, where a convicted ISIS supporter—released early from federal prison—shot an ROTC instructor before being killed by cadets who fought him bare‑handed. Clay underscores the bravery of the fallen victim, Lt. Col. Brandon Shaw, and reiterates that five jihadist attacks in two weeks demonstrate a clear pattern that cannot be ignored. Buck explains how jihadists often seek ideological praise online, creating a copycat effect that can trigger more attacks, especially during geopolitical conflict such as the U.S.–Iran war. He warns that authorities likely have hundreds of high‑risk individuals under watch and that the country must brace for additional incidents.
 
The hour concludes with Clay and Buck emphasizing the strategic failure of progressive narratives that deny the role of Islamic extremism, noting that the same media figures who obsess over “white supremacy” are unwilling to report honestly on jihadist terrorism—even when attackers openly proclaim their motives. As the hosts prepare for Hour 3, they signal a shift toward another major national story: the mass exodus of high‑income earners from blue states like Washington, New York, and California to low‑tax red states such as Florida, a trend exemplified by Jeff Bezos and Howard Schultz fleeing newly imposed wealth taxes.

The Truth with Lisa Boothe: Gordon Chang: How Iran & Venezuela’s Collapse Hurts China—and What It Means for Taiwan

One Half of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, New York Times bestselling author and former CIA officer Buck Sexton joins Lisa to break down the escalating conflict with Iran, the strategic realities behind “Operation Epic Fury,” and what regime change would actually require.
 
Drawing from his time in the CIA’s Iraq office after the WMD intelligence failure, Buck explains why wars in the Middle East are never simple—and why Iran presents unique challenges. Is there a viable ground partner inside Iran? Can air power alone force regime change? And how does jihadist ideology impact internal power struggles within the regime?
 
Buck also details the tactical intelligence successes under President Trump—from joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear program to high-level capture operations—and why he believes renewed American resolve has reshaped global deterrence.
 
Then the conversation shifts to his New York Times bestselling book, Manufacturing Delusion. Buck outlines how radical movements—whether jihadist, communist, or modern leftist—use psychological tactics like public confession, identity coercion, and collective pressure to enforce ideological conformity. How do these methods compare to Stalinist regimes? What role does social media play in amplifying modern-day mass delusion? And why are moral binaries of “oppressor vs. victim” so effective at mobilizing movements?
