If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: ihr.fm/3InlkL8 The Story Keeps Getting Worse Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into several pressing topics. The show begins with a discussion on Harvard's tax-exempt status being rescinded under Trump's administration, highlighting the political implications and reactions from Democrats. The hosts then address the DOJ's stance on transgender athletes, focusing on safety concerns for young women competing against trans individuals. A poignant segment features Patty Morin, whose daughter was killed by an illegal alien, sharing her thoughts from a White House appearance. The conversation shifts to George Clooney's op-ed criticizing Biden, with the hosts debating the bravery of such statements. They also delve into the controversy surrounding Maryland Democrat Senator's visit to El Salvador, discussing the political and legal ramifications of deporting an alleged MS-13 gang member, Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Dems Choice of Resistance The hosts argue that Democrats have chosen a poor figure to represent their resistance to Trump's deportation policies, citing Garcia's criminal background, including domestic violence and suspected human trafficking. They juxtapose this with the tragic story of an American citizen killed by an illegal immigrant, emphasizing the Democrats' misplaced priorities. Throughout the hour, Clay and Buck engage in a heated debate on immigration policies, the rule of law, and the Democrats' stance on illegal immigrants. They invite listeners to share their opinions, questioning the rationale behind defending Garcia's return to the U.S. The show concludes with a discussion on the broader implications of immigration enforcement and the political landscape. Liberal Rules Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with breaking news about a shooting at Florida State University in Tallahassee. The conversation then shifts to New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is accused of mortgage fraud in Virginia and New York. The hosts highlight evidence suggesting AG James lied on her mortgage applications, which could lead to serious legal consequences. They emphasize the importance of holding powerful individuals accountable and discuss the potential fallout and next steps, including possible charges and investigations. The show also delves into the broader implications of prosecutorial misconduct, using hypothetical scenarios to illustrate the erosion of trust in the justice system when those in power commit crimes. The hosts speculate on the political and social ramifications for AG Letitia James, including potential defenses she might use and whether Democrats will rally behind her or distance themselves. TX AG Ken Paxton interview with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who discusses his Senate run against incumbent John Cornyn. Paxton outlines his reasons for running, including his dissatisfaction with Cornyn's stance on gun restrictions, border security, and his criticism of President Trump. Paxton emphasizes his strong working relationship with Trump and his commitment to conservative values. The conversation shifts to legal matters, where Paxton critiques a judge's overreach in the case of Mr. Abrego Garcia, arguing that the judiciary should not interfere with executive decisions. He calls for congressional action to limit nationwide injunctions that lack factual or legal basis. The hosts also discuss the impact of Trump's presidency on Texas, particularly regarding border security. Paxton highlights the financial and safety benefits of Trump's policies, contrasting them with the previous administration's approach. Listeners from Texas are encouraged to engage with the upcoming primary, and Paxton shares polling data showing his lead over Cornyn. He discusses the challenges of running against an incumbent and the importance of voter turnout in the primary.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton made it official last week, announcing he will challenge U.S. Sen. John Cornyn in next March's Republican primary. The fireworks already have begun, the Austin American-Statesman reported, with Cornyn calling his rival “a con man and a fraud.” Paxton, for his part, said he is running to “fight for President Trump's agenda and take a sledgehammer to the D.C. establishment.” He accused Cornyn of being insufficiently loyal to Trump. Paxton's decision to run for the Senate leaves the attorney general's seat open in 2026. Former U.S. Attorney John Bash, a lawyer for Elon Musk, has...Article Link
Journalism “Being a journalist means having the audacity to ask the questions others won't — and the patience to listen to the answers.” — Maria Ressa One problem is that some folks do not like the answers they get in response to the questions they ask. Another problem, of course, is that many never bother to listen; thus, nothing ever changes That is, until Donald J. Trump broke the mold. And if for that reason alone, many do not like him. In fact, they hate him, and all those who stand with him. Those folks are firmly in the camp...Article Link

It's no secret Elon Musk is no fan of President Trump's plan for tariffs. It appears he is sending President Trump what could be veiled messages through old clips of Milton Friedman. Milton Friedman is one of the great "Free Marketeers" of our time. His assessment of freedom and liberty vs equality is nothing short of eye opening. We go through some of my favorite Milton Friedman clips and relate them to modern day politics today. Also, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is our guest. He has announced his candidacy to take on "RINO" establishment Texas Senator John Cornyn. Cornyn instantly lashed out with one of the most despicable comments I have ever heard uttered by a fellow Republican against another Republican.

Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), a senior member of the Finance, Judiciary, and Intelligence Committees, joined The Guy Benson Show today to react to Trump's tariff rollout, explaining why he views it as an effort to correct longstanding unfair trade practices from other countries. He and Benson also discussed the constitutional debate over tariff authority between Congress and the presidency, and the GOP's efforts to block what Cornyn warned would be a devastating tax hike impacting 62% of American taxpayers. The senator explained why he's holding out hope for one "big beautiful bill" to finalize Trump's budget resolution--and addressed speculation around a potential primary challenge in 2026.

John Cornyn in 2026. The two politicians, titans in Texas Republican politics, have been circling each other for more than a year, setting up a potential clash that would test the power of Paxton's appeal to hard-right conservatives and Cornyn's strength as a well-funded incumbent and prolific vote-getter. the city of Ennis issued a boil water notice Sunday because of “low water pressure caused by a water main break,” prompting Ennis ISD to cancel classes and activities today for students and staff.

[SEGMENT 1-1] Democrat Experts 1 Shows are easy again, as the topics are numerous. There is the post-mortem of the election, the butt-kicking America put on Leftists in America and all over the world. The effects of what America did resonated more on Nov 5 than at likely any other time in history. We nuked Leftism. The NWO's Great Reset got reset. Back to normal. The world took notice of how Americans feel, and it must respond. Have you seen the number of places where Trumpism has taken hold? Countries wanting their sovereignty back, their identity back? It's astounding. That's the impact we had in 2016, and as in America that feeling has been put on steroids. The world is a better and safer place today, than it was on Nov 4.

Kristi Noem for Homeland Security secretary Sen. Marco Rubio to serve as secretary of state? Trump's first moves match public's push for immigration fix Is Texas Senator John Cornyn threatening Trump to stop appointment of Ken Paxton as Attorney General? Probably but my gut makes me think that Paxton is not on the short list to begin with.

On this Salcedo Storm Podcast:Congressman Brian Babin serves the people of Texas' 36th Congressional District. He serves on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee.
Andrew, Tom and Carl discuss Trump's latest cabinet picks including reports that Marco Rubio will be named Secretary of State, and what GOP control of the House will mean for Trump's agenda. They also talk about the fight to lead Republicans in the Senate (Thune vs. Cornyn vs. Scott) and today's visit to Washington by California governor Gavin Newsom. Plus, the post-election decline in viewership at MSNBC and CNN, and Chris Wallace's decision to leave CNN for the world of podcasting. And then finally, Andrew Walworth talks to Charles McElwee, editor of RealClear Pennsylvania, about the potential recount of the senate race between incumbent Democrat Bob Casey and Republican challenger Dave McCormick, and the political future of Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro.
Josh Hawley endorsed Cornyn but why? Why is it that swamp creatures like Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn are the ones in leadership? The war inside the democrat party. Being obsessed with food leading to other problems. Would Jesse winning his congressional race changed him? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Building up our farm team. Trumps AG will have to dig into the FBI in ways that will shock America. Getting fired isn't even the bare minimum. The disaster of a Thune or Cornyn senate leadership would kneecap a Trump presidency every change they can. Have the American people had enough of illegals ruining their states? Terry Schilling resident of the American Principles Project on what kind of resistance Trump should expect once he takes power. Hunting with blades only. The left is pushing the Holocaust 2.0. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Will Liz Cheney's endorsement change anyone's vote? If Rick Scott looks like he could get a leadership spot in congress the RINOs Thune and Cornyn will combine forces to ensure he loses. The GOP is starting to treat journalists how they should be. Liberal Aunt Peggy lives in the world of make believe because the media refuses to report the truth. Dome isn't just flip flopping on her Israel stance, she's schizophrenic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
