Ladies and gentlemen, let's get one thing straight: if there's one thing Democrats excel at, it's turning public trust into personal profit. From the White House down to your local city council, from federally funded social programs to municipal contracts, there is no level at which they will not hustle the taxpayer. Medicaid? Misallocated, mismanaged, and misappropriated. Autism programs? Millions lost to fraudulent claims, consultants cashing in while children wait. SNAP? Ghost recipients, phantom claims, and grocery money flowing straight into the pockets of insiders. Hospice care? Millions siphoned while the dying get less than promised. 8A housing programs? Crony contracts disguised as minority empowerment. Social Security? Millions of scammers removed only because agencies like D.O.G.E. finally decided to clean up what Democrats left unchecked for decades.It's a long, unbroken thread of entitlement, audacity, and creative accounting. Democrats have institutionalized cheating so completely that no level of government is safe from their hustle. They've turned the entire apparatus of governance—federal programs, city budgets, state authorities—into a conveyor belt of taxpayer-funded side hustles. And if you thought the press would ever hold them accountable, well, the press seems content to cover the spectacle with polite applause.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, we break down the Democratic primary for North Carolina's 13th Congressional District, featuring three distinct candidates:Paul Barringer – A healthcare consultant, attorney, and farm manager running on constitutional accountability, fiscal responsibility, and practical healthcare reform. He emphasizes independent, district-first representation, balanced budgeting, and bipartisan problem-solving rooted in “common sense” governance.Frank Pierce – A lifelong North Carolinian and small business owner focused on working families. His platform highlights affordable healthcare, strong public education funding, support for farmers and small businesses, immigration reform, housing solutions, climate action, and protecting democracy, alongside a commitment to community service and compromise.Alexander Nicholi – A software developer and self-described labor Democrat campaigning against deficit spending and tech-industry influence. He prioritizes protecting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, enforcing stricter border controls, ending omnibus bills, and restoring transparency and constitutional governance.We explore how each candidate defines the district's challenges and offers a different vision for its future.Democratic Ballot: US House of Representatives District 13 CandidatesPaul Barringer: Facebook/Instagram/X/Bluesky/Paul@PaulBarringer.comFrank Pierce: Facebook/Instagram/X/TikTok/Pierce4Congress@outlook.comAlexander Nicholi: Facebook/X/Substack/SBE@NicholiFTW.com2026 Voters' Guide for Southern Wake CountyCampaign Finance Reports for Federal Candidate CommitteesVoter Information (Register, Am I Registered?, Election Information) Voter Info (Designated Polling Places, Sample Ballots, Registration Status, Voting Jurisdiction, Verify Address and Party Affiliation) Election Information (Absentee by Mail Voting, Early Voting, Election Day Voting) Closest Early Voting Locations February 12-28WE Hunt Recreation Center-Holly SpringsHilltop Needmore Town Park Clubhouse-Fuquay VarinaELECTION DAYTuesday, March 3 from 6:30 AM to 7:30 PMSupport the showAs always, if you are interested in being on or sponsoring the podcast or if you have any particular issues, thoughts, or questions you'd like explored on the podcast, please email NCDeepDive@gmail.com.

In December, the Department of Health and Human Services proposed a new rule that would ban hospitals from receiving any Medicare and Medicaid funding if they offer gender-affirming care for minors. Today, Kimberly checks in with Marketplace's Samantha Fields to hear about her reporting on how this is affecting health care providers across the country. Plus, we'll get into how the proposed rule fits into a larger wave of restrictions on transgender health care, years in the making.

It's budget season in Detroit and in Lansing, and the choices leaders make now will shape city services and state programs for the next few years. On today's Daily Detroit, we talk with Steve Watson of the consulting firm Watson & Yates about where the money comes from and where it might go. First, we look at Detroit's budget in Mayor Mary Sheffield's first year as mayor. Detroit's money picture is different from the suburbs, and Steve breaks it into four big "buckets": income tax from people and businesses in the city, fast-growing casino and online betting taxes, state revenue sharing, and property taxes, which rank only fourth even though rates are high. They explain how careful revenue forecasts, the lasting impact of remote work, and a growing labor force all change what Detroit can afford to do. Then the conversation shifts to Governor Gretchen Whitmer's final proposed state budget. There are new cost pressures from federal rule changes, and about proposed state tax hikes on tobacco, internet gaming, sports betting, and digital ads. They connect this to what it means for Detroiters who use Medicaid and SNAP, and for Detroit's casino-based tax revenues. To wrap up, they share simple steps you can take to get involved, including who to call, key dates to watch, and why paying attention to budgets now can help your neighborhood later.

The Misery of the Vaccine Business: The Real Economics of Pediatric VaccinationIn this episode of The Pediatric Lounge, the hosts reflect on the PMI conference in New Orleans and discuss how U.S. pediatricians are portrayed as “bad guys” because of vaccines, leading into a conversation with Dr. Gail Schoenfeld about the “misery of the vaccine business.” Schoenfeld describes her participation in a white paper on the real economics of pediatric vaccination, motivated in part by feeling insulted by claims that pediatricians profit from vaccines, and explains she tried to educate the authors on vaccine financing and delivery costs. The discussion details the extensive, time-intensive workflow and infrastructure required to store, track, administer, and document vaccines, including staffing time, inventory reconciliation between VFC and commercial stock, compliance tasks, refrigeration and monitoring systems, generators, maintenance, insurance, space costs, and after-hours emergencies. They address vaccine “wastage” such as broken vials, patient refusal after preparation, expiration, documentation errors that prevent billing, and demand shifts (including Schoenfeld's experience wasting 70 Moderna COVID doses at $133 each). The group argues that fixed reimbursement set by insurers and Medicaid often fails to cover true costs, making vaccination a money-losing service for pediatric practices; they cite examples including Medicare valuing vaccine administration code 90460 at $24 and Virginia's Medicaid not paying 90460 and restricting VFC reimbursement to a limited admin fee, resulting in losses per vaccine, with a Mississippi example of $11 payment. They discuss why adult practices often refer vaccination to pharmacies and note pediatricians cannot easily do so. The conversation expands to broader issues with Medicaid underfunding, VFC compliance burdens and liability, quality incentive programs (HEDIS/NCQA) and how incentives can be perceived as conflicts of interest despite being framed as deferred or conditional payment, and how vaccine mandates and distrust after COVID have reduced routine vaccination uptake. Schoenfeld shares past work running community COVID vaccine clinics and contrasts inefficiencies seen elsewhere. The episode ends with reflections on pediatricians being underpaid despite providing essential preventive care, Schoenfeld's commitment to serving a largely Medicaid population in the Hamptons, and her upcoming presentation on cost center/call center reports at a future conference, followed by standard podcast outro and disclaimer.00:00 Welcome Back + PMI New Orleans Takeaways (Why Pediatricians Support the show

I welcome my childhood friend Dr. Mike Meaney back on the show where we discuss how pain changes how a life moves. It sharpens every edge, tests every bond, and forces you to decide what you believe when there are no easy choices left. That's where our conversation begins: a candid account of failed orthopedic surgeries, a system that too often rewards the cut over the cure, and the daily reality of living inside a body that won't stop hurting. We examine how fee-for-service medicine, device royalties, and surgical center ownership can bend decisions, why second and third opinions matter, and what patients can do to avoid becoming a statistic in a volume-driven industry.From there, we turn toward the inner struggle—resentment, justice, and the long road to healing. We talk openly about opioids as a seductive solution to the human problem of physical pain, and the devastation they leave behind. We sit with the hardest question: when harm is done under anesthesia, what does forgiveness mean? Faith enters not as a slogan but as a practice. We return to the simple Catholic teachings we learned as kids—tell the truth, avoid violence, treat others as you wish to be treated, care for the marginal—and measure them against adult complexity. We explore the mystical claims of Christianity with clear eyes, and why daily sobriety can feel like proof enough for belief.Then we build forward. Our guest shares One Small Step, a platform delivering certified peer support on nights and weekends for people on Medicaid—exactly when the rest of the system is closed or the ER is the only option. We walk through how human-in-the-loop AI can safely triage, detect pre-crisis signals, and route people to real peers with lived experience, reducing avoidable ER visits and giving support that actually meets people where they are. It's a practical blueprint for reform: dignified care, data-informed decisions, and a focus on outcomes that matter.If this conversation resonates—about pain, faith, accountability, or access to real help—share it with someone who needs it. And if you appreciate these deep, unfiltered talks, tap follow, leave a quick review, and tell us: where do you draw the line between justice and mercy?To learn more about One Small Step head over to https://onesmallstep.io/Support the showWarmly,Nico Barraza@FeedTheSoulNBwww.nicobarraza.com

With help from Congress, the Trump Administration stripped some $1.5 billion in federal funds previously promised to tribes. A lot of that was in the form of contracts for clean energy manufacturing and development — new money doled out three years earlier as part of President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act. A new analysis by the Brookings Institution identifies three funding and policy changes, including reductions in SNAP and Medicaid, that negatively affect Native Americans. The research firm says the actions continue a pattern of disinvestment and falls short of the federal government's binding responsibility to Indian Country. GUESTS Robert Maxim (Mashpee Wampanoag), fellow at The Brookings Institution Chéri Smith (Mi’kmaq descendant), president and CEO of the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy Timothy Nuvangyaoma (Hopi), vice president of tribal engagement for the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy and former chairman of the Hopi Tribe Dr. Kyle Whyte (Citizen Potawatomi Nation), professor at the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan

If you ever want to understand why legacy media is hemorrhaging credibility faster than a leaky stimulus package, watch what happens when it tries to weaponize arithmetic against common sense.Recently, ABC News decided to present what it clearly believed was a jaw-dropping exposé: roughly $40 million spent to deport more than two million illegal immigrants in 2025.Cue ominous music. Cue furrowed anchor brow. Then, cue the implication that fiscal apocalypse had arrived in the shape of an ICE bus.Instead, the internet did what the internet does best. It grabbed a calculator.Forty million dollars. Two million deportations. That is about $20 per removal. Twenty dollars. You cannot Uber someone to the airport for that.And yet the presentation suggested scandal.For years, Democrats and their allies have insisted that illegal immigration is “cost-positive.” They have painted a portrait of a parallel workforce that magically expands GDP, fills labor gaps, and somehow does all this while simultaneously qualifying for means-tested benefits, subsidized education, emergency healthcare, housing assistance, and a buffet of state-level entitlements.It is a neat trick. The kind that only works if you never total the receipts.The Federation for American Immigration Reform has repeatedly estimates that illegal immigration costs American taxpayers well over $100 billion annually when federal, state, and local expenditures are included. Even if one disputes the exact number, the categories are indisputable: public education, Medicaid, emergency medical care, incarceration, infrastructure strain. These are not ideological abstractions. They are line items.Yet here comes a headline implying that $40 million is a grotesque extravagance.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On our radar this week… A World Without Exploitation – Release the Epstein Files The 2017 Donald Trump lavished praise on the multi-billion-dollar plan crafted by Michigan and Canada to build the much-needed connector for our two economies. The 2026 Donald Trump sees the bridge as nothing more than a bargaining chip. We'll get into the details of the potential economic disaster with former U.S. Ambassador to Canada … and former Michigan Governor … Jim Blanchard. For Michigan Republicans, Bridgegate poses a new choice: Michigan workers, or Donald Trump. Most apparently are choosing Trump. In Washington D.C. (District of Chaos)Trump's Justice Department-led war on his critics loses again. It's said a prosecutor can get a ham sandwich indicted, but Pam Bondi couldn't get a federal grand jury to indict Elissa Slotkin, Mark Kelly and 4 House Democrats for sedition. Slotkin and Kelly told reporters they refuse to be intimidated by the White House bully. Another federal court, this time in Michigan, has rejected efforts by Bondi to get confidential details of Michigan's qualified voter list. The decision came from a Trump-appointed judge. 8 years after running on a pledge to “Fix the Damn Roads,” Gretchen Whitmer is celebrating bipartisan legislation that's doing just that. Her new budget calls for an extra $2 billion in road and bridge funding, a continuation of the budget deal enacted last October. The executive budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 will fund both state and local roads as it executes the first full-year of funding for Michigan’s roads. Whitmer's 88-billion dollar budget based on roughly $800 million in tax increases, $630 million in cuts and $400 million from the rainy day fund. It calls for increasing the state’s “sin” taxes to fill the gap left by Trump's federal budget cuts to Medicaid and nutrition programs. House Speaker Matt Hall says any tax increase, even if it's taxes on tobacco and gambling, is a non-starter. Senate appropriations chair Sarah Anthony counters: if that's your position, show us what you'll cut. WIll Michigan House Republicans dare to cut Medicaid benefits to ¼ of the state’s population in an election year? Trump's economy is hitting Michigan auto workers. Ford reports that 2026 profit-sharing checks will be one-third less than 2025 checks. That drop impacts not just the UAW members, but also the businesses where those workers spend money. Two of three people accused in a case regarding fake nomination petition signatures for candidates in 2022, including gubernatorial candidates, were found guilty of numerous charges by a Macomb County Circuit Court jury after two days of deliberations. A third person, the wife of one of the other defendants, was acquitted of all the charges filed against her. The signature fraud likely contributed to the GOP nominating Tudor Dixon for Governor … who was swamped by Gretchen Whitmer in the election. Unfortunately, the scores of persons who actually forged the signatures remain at large and available to do it again. We are joined this week by former U.S. Ambassador to Canada (and former Michigan Governor) Jim Blanchard who played a pivotal role in negotiating details of the Michigan-Canada agreement to build the Gordie Howe Bridge. After 8 years as Michigan's Governor, Blanchard was named as the nation's representative in Ottawa by President Clinton. He served in that role for two-and-a-half years. Governor Blanchard holds two degrees from Michigan State University, and a law degree from the University of Minnesota. We’re now on YouTube every week! Click here to subscribe.

Governor Hochul's proposed budget includes $136.5 billion for health care, virtually the same as this year. Medicaid spending would account for $122.6 billion, a decrease of $3.4 billion or 2.7 percent, primarily due to the loss of federal funding for the Essential Plan. The Essential Plan provides comprehensive health coverage for over 1.7 million moderate income individuals and families The increased state share of Medicaid expenditure is primarily due to $2.6 billion in federal cuts requiring the shift of 486,000 lawfully present immigrants from the Essential Plan to state-funded Medicaid. At the February 10th state budget hearing on health care, there was virtually no discussion related to passing the NY Health Act to save billions of dollars through a single payer health care system. We hear testimony from Mia Wagner of Health Care for All NY, Lara Kassel of Medicaid Matters NY, Leon Bell of the NYS Nurses Association. By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
- Tom Shattuck fills in for the week, taking over while Gerry Callahan is out. - The SAVE Act passes the House, and Democrats melt down — claiming voter ID is sexist, racist, and “Jim Crow 2.0.” - Undercover audio from Maine exposes election officials admitting there's no real citizenship verification to register to vote. - A transgender mass shooting in Canada sparks media absurdity as outlets adopt “gun person” language and avoid biological facts. - Medicaid fraud, blue-state mismanagement, and a stronger-than-expected jobs report highlight the sharp divide between activist governance and economic reality.

This startling gap in care is the driving force behind My Diabetes Tutor, a telehealth platform founded by Dr. Prem Sahasranam. His mission? To make diabetes education accessible to everyone, regardless of geography or socioeconomic barriers.Dr. Sahasranam, a board-certified endocrinologist with nearly two decades of experience, explained how critical education is in diabetes management: “Studies have shown that just going through diabetes education reduces A1C by 0.73 points. At our program, our outcomes are two times better than the national average.” With over 9,000 patients served, My Diabetes Tutor consistently delivers remarkable results, achieving an average A1C reduction of 1.6 points—enough to significantly lower complications and mortality rates.The idea for My Diabetes Tutor was born out of necessity. Dr. Sahasranam shared a story about how two full-time diabetes educators in his rural California practice helped patients achieve exceptional outcomes. When they retired in 2018, he struggled to recruit replacements, a problem endemic to underserved areas. “I decided to build a telehealth program,” he said. “My goal was to solve an access issue and deliver diabetes education to people, irrespective of their zip code or language.”My Diabetes Tutor provides nationally accredited virtual diabetes education, covering medical nutrition therapy, continuous glucose monitoring, insulin pump training, and more. The platform recently launched the first-ever pediatric diabetes education program, a groundbreaking step toward addressing the needs of young patients.Dr. Sahasranam's vision extends beyond patient outcomes to include investor participation. My Diabetes Tutor is currently raising capital through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. “I want investors to own a piece of our growth and be part of our journey,” he said. The company generated over $2 million in revenue last year with a 61 percent gross margin, demonstrating both impact and financial viability.Dr. Sahasranam's work is not just about business; it's a mission to transform lives. By breaking down barriers to education, he's giving people the tools to manage their diabetes effectively, live healthier lives, and reduce complications.For those looking to make a difference—or simply to invest in a business delivering measurable impact—My Diabetes Tutor offers a unique opportunity.tl;dr:Dr. Prem Sahasranam founded My Diabetes Tutor to provide virtual education for diabetes management.The program addresses barriers to care in underserved communities by delivering telehealth services nationwide.My Diabetes Tutor achieves outcomes twice as effective as national averages in reducing A1C levels.The company generated over $2 million in 2025 and is raising capital via StartEngine crowdfunding.Prem credits emotional intelligence as his superpower, driving his mission to revolutionize diabetes care.How to Develop Emotional Intelligence As a SuperpowerDr. Prem describes his superpower as emotional intelligence, honed through years of experience as a board-certified endocrinologist. He explained, “Most health systems focus on the biology of the disease and fail to address the human part.” By understanding the emotional and practical needs of patients, Prem has created innovative solutions to improve access to diabetes education. He added, “I learned from my experience and built the right team, content, and technology to bring in diabetes education, easily accessible for patients.”Prem shared a pivotal story of a patient who had been struggling to control their diabetes despite receiving appropriate medications. The patient hesitated to make a two-hour drive to see Prem but eventually visited his practice and met with a diabetes educator. Without altering the patient's medications, the educator provided tailored guidance that helped the patient manage their condition. This experience inspired Prem to create My Diabetes Tutor, ensuring patients could access life-changing education from their own homes.Tips for Developing Emotional Intelligence:Reflect on past experiences to identify unmet needs and learn from them.Stay aware of the human challenges behind systemic issues.Focus on creating solutions that address both emotional and practical barriers.Build strong, empathetic teams that align with your mission.By following Dr. Prem's example and advice, you can make emotional intelligence a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

“I do not believe we should be testing to test. We have to know, is this test going to change management and is it going to make a difference,” says pediatric allergist-immunologist Dr. Zachary Rubin. His knack for providing that sort of straightforward guidance explains why Dr. Rubin has become a trusted voice on allergies, asthma, and vaccines for his millions of followers on social media platforms. It's also why we couldn't ask for a better guide for our discussion on the rise in allergies, asthma, and immune-related conditions in children, and how families can navigate the quickly evolving science and rampant misinformation in the space. On this episode of Raise the Line, we also preview Dr. Rubin's new book, All About Allergies, in which he breaks down dozens of conditions and diseases, offering clear explanations and practical treatment options for families. Join host Lindsey Smith for this super informative conversation in which Dr. Rubin shares his thoughts on a wide range of topics including: What's behind the rise in allergic and immune-related conditions.Tips for managing misinformation, myths and misunderstandings.

Feb. 12, 2026 - One of the key fiscal integrity measures for New York's Medicaid program is an exclusion list that is designed to keep bad actors from participating in the system. We explore how the list works in practice with Margaret Surowka and Bob Hussar, from the law firm Barclay Damon.

Billions in taxpayer dollars are reportedly being drained each year by fraud and improper payments, with federal prosecutors uncovering schemes ranging from AI-generated fake records in Minnesota to missing or flawed paperwork in health programs across several states. Lawmakers held multiple fraud hearings this week as new findings from the Government Accountability Office estimate the federal government loses hundreds of billions annually, with Medicare, Medicaid, tax credits, and SNAP among the hardest-hit programs. James Lankford, Oklahoma Republican Senator joins the Rundown to discuss whether Congress can actually rein in waste, fraud, and abuse. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has released an updated statement recommending against gender surgeries for anyone under the age of 19, marking a significant shift in the medical debate over treating transgender minors. While groups argue that healthcare decisions should remain between families and doctors, plastic surgeon and Netflix's Skin Decision: Before and After star Dr. Sheila Nazarian joins to explain why many in her field are raising alarms over a lack of long-term data and why she believes evidence-based medicine must guide the treatment of gender dysphoria in children.

In this week's episode of Medicine: The Truth, hosts Jeremy Corr and Dr. Robert Pearl examine a sweeping set of developments shaping American healthcare. From the first state-approved use of generative AI to prescribe medications without human oversight to rising healthcare costs, from worsening vaccine misinformation to the stubborn persistence of preventable disease, this show focuses on biggest stories in medicine today. The episode opens with a groundbreaking and controversial pilot program in Utah that allows a generative AI system to renew prescriptions for chronic disease without physician involvement. From there, the conversation turns to the relentless rise in healthcare spending. New federal data show Americans now spend more than $15,700 per person annually on medical care, with costs growing twice as fast as the economy. While insurance coverage remains high for now, Pearl warns that expiring subsidies, Medicaid restrictions and rising premiums are already pushing millions out of coverage. For many families, healthcare affordability has become a top issue and, increasingly, a political fault line heading into the midterm election cycle. Here are more major storylines from MTT episode 103: Exercise as medicine for depression: A large meta-analysis finds that regular exercise can be as effective as antidepressant medication for many patients. Trump's healthcare plan fades quickly: Pearl explains why the president's proposal disappeared from the headlines. Measles returns in force: Cases are nearing 1,000 and outbreaks concentrated in under-vaccinated communities. Vaccine battles intensify under RFK Jr.: New appointments to federal advisory committees raise alarm among scientists, as anti-vaccine voices gain influence. Chronic disease remains America's top killer: Cardiovascular disease continues to claim nearly one million lives annually. Generative AI's biggest promise: Pearl makes the case that AI-driven, at-home monitoring could finally transform chronic disease management. Cancer trends turn ominous: Colorectal cancer deaths among Americans under 50 are rising sharply, becoming the leading cancer killer in this age group. Genetics vs. lifestyle revisited: New research suggests genetics may account for half of lifespan variation but lifestyle still determines how many of those years are lived in good health. High-deductible health plans: New data show cancer patients with high-deductible insurance have significantly higher mortality. GLP-1 weight-loss pills arrive: The first oral GLP-1 drug launches to record demand. A devastating flu season for children: Despite the availability of safe vaccines, pediatric flu deaths reach alarming levels among unvaccinated kids. As the episode closes, Dr. Pearl delivers a stark warning about the resurgence of pseudoscience in medicine. Tune in for more fact-based coverage and analysis of healthcare's biggest stories. * * * Dr. Robert Pearl is the author of the new book “ChatGPT, MD: How AI-Empowered Patients & Doctors Can Take Back Control of American Medicine” about the impact of AI on the future of medicine.

If the United States brought home a report card on maternal and infant health, it would need a serious parent–teacher conference. In this episode, Dr. Michael Warren, Chief Medical and Health Officer at March of Dimes breaks down the latest Report Card on birth outcomes and the headline is hard to ignore: the nation earns a D+ for preterm birth, with half of states receiving a D or F. But this isn't just about grades. It's about what's driving poor outcomes and what public health leaders can actually do about it. Warren, a former state and federal public health leader, also shares how officials can use the report card as more than a headline, but as a tool to build urgency, strengthen partnerships across maternal health, chronic disease, and Medicaid, and push forward policy and funding priorities.Long COVID Resources for Community Recovery | ASTHOFunding & Collaboration Opportunities | ASTHO

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! 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 takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Proof of Life in an AI Age Clay Travis and Buck Sexton begin by highlighting President Donald Trump’s remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast, where he addressed faith in public life, new Department of Education guidance reaffirming the right to prayer in public schools, and ongoing federal responses to unrest and crime in major U.S. cities, including Minneapolis. They preview Trump’s wide‑ranging interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas, which becomes a central theme throughout the hour. A major portion of Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show is devoted to the alarming and emotional kidnapping case involving the mother of NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie. The hosts play audio from Guthrie’s public plea and analyze the unusual nature of a modern‑day ransom kidnapping in the United States. Clay and Buck discuss why the crime appears targeted rather than random, speculate on possible inside knowledge of the victim’s home and routines, and explore why this type of crime is now rare in America compared to other parts of the world. They also examine how advances in surveillance, DNA evidence, and digital tracking make successful ransom kidnappings increasingly difficult. Throughout the segment, they note that President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel have committed significant federal resources to the case, underscoring its national visibility and seriousness. Kamala Woofs? A lively and humorous debate about the future of the Democratic Party, centered on Vice President Kamala Harris and the 2028 presidential race. Clay Travis sharply mocks what he characterizes as Kamala Harris’s inauthentic political style, using her recent “Kamala HQ” announcement as an example, and compares it to a famously absurd storyline from The Office. This sparks a prolonged back‑and‑forth between Clay and Buck over whether Harris will run for president again—and whether she could realistically become the Democratic nominee. Clay argues that Harris is likely to run and could benefit from changes to the Democratic primary calendar that elevate Southern states with large Black Democratic electorates, while Buck strongly disagrees, insisting that her past electoral failures and poor performance in swing states make her nomination politically disastrous. The conversation broadens into a larger analysis of Democratic strategy, race, primary politics, and voter turnout. Clay suggests Democrats may once again make a risky strategic decision based on identity politics and narrow electoral margins, while Buck counters that party elites will ultimately coalesce around a different candidate, particularly California Governor Gavin Newsom. Throughout the hour, the hosts reference betting odds, past primary performances, and voter behavior to argue their competing cases, turning their disagreement into an ongoing bet that becomes a recurring and entertaining thread. Clay's Needle and Poop Walk Clay delivers an extended firsthand account of his morning walk through downtown San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl weekend. Broadcasting from the iHeartRadio studios in the city, he describes being advised not to walk for safety reasons and then encountering widespread homelessness, drug use, abandoned needles, and human feces along a short route in the city’s core. Clay uses the experience to argue that urban decay, public drug use, and lack of sanitation are policy failures, contending that visible filth and disorder directly correlate with higher crime rates and declining quality of life in major American cities like San Francisco and Washington, D.C. A central segment of Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show features a detailed live update from Daily Wire reporter Lynden Blake, who monitored the full Arizona press conference on the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping. Blake confirms that a single ransom note was sent to multiple outlets, demanding millions of dollars in Bitcoin, with an initial deadline the same day and a secondary deadline the following Monday accompanied by explicit threats. She explains why authorities believe the notes are credible, citing accurate descriptions of the crime scene, and discusses lingering questions about security cameras, possible inside knowledge of the home, and inconsistencies regarding forced entry. The hosts also explore the family’s request for proof of life and the challenges posed by AI‑generated imagery, underscoring how modern technology complicates hostage negotiations. Sen. Dave McCormick A substantive interview with Senator Dave McCormick, who addresses major national and state policy concerns. McCormick discusses the growing national debt, massive federal deficits, and what he views as Washington’s unwillingness to enact even modest spending reforms. He criticizes resistance to work requirements for able‑bodied Medicaid recipients and warns that without structural changes, entitlement programs will collapse under their own weight. McCormick also speaks at length about bipartisan cooperation in Pennsylvania, highlighting his working relationship with Democratic Senator John Fetterman, their shared stance on issues like fentanyl, energy production, Israel, and government shutdowns, and his willingness to publicly defend Fetterman when he was attacked by his own party. Election integrity and voting laws are another focal point, as McCormick strongly advocates for the SAVE Act and nationwide voter ID requirements. He argues that requiring proof of citizenship is a basic safeguard supported by overwhelming majorities of both Republicans and Democrats and says lawmakers must publicly justify opposition to voter ID to restore trust in U.S. elections. The conversation then shifts to the economy, where McCormick credits President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, deregulation, and energy policies with fueling major investment in Pennsylvania, including tens of billions of dollars committed to energy infrastructure and data centers. He frames U.S. energy dominance and AI development as critical components of global competition, particularly with China.
