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. Jewish Couple Shot in Hate Crime The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and emotionally charged discussion centered on the tragic antisemitic double murder of a young couple in Washington, D.C., and the broader implications of rising antisemitism in America. Clay and Buck open the hour with breaking news about the passage of a major bill in the House of Representatives, highlighting its narrow approval and the expected path forward in the Senate. However, the focus quickly shifts to the horrific killing of two Israeli diplomats, a crime the hosts attribute to the dangerous rhetoric and ideology spreading across college campuses and left-wing political circles under slogans like “Globalize the Intifada.” The hosts condemn the mainstream media and political figures for their silence or tepid responses, calling out Representative Ilhan Omar for refusing to comment. They draw parallels between this attack and the October 7 Hamas terrorist massacre in Israel, emphasizing the moral inversion and ignorance among younger generations regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Buck Sexton, drawing on his background in Middle East studies and the CIA, provides historical and geopolitical context, arguing that Hamas’s actions are rooted in a desire to prevent peace in the region, particularly between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The conversation also explores the broader issue of selective outrage and hypocrisy in global human rights advocacy, pointing to the lack of attention to genocides in places like South Sudan. The hosts stress the importance of educating younger Americans about the realities of terrorism, antisemitism, and the existential threats faced by Israel. Sen. Rand Paul on the Big Beautiful Bill Later in the hour, KY Senator Rand Paul joins the show to discuss the implications of the newly passed House bill, particularly its impact on the national debt and fiscal conservatism. Paul criticizes the bill’s projected $4–5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling and warns that Republicans are abandoning their principles by supporting unsustainable spending. He advocates for entitlement reform and a return to fiscal responsibility, warning of the long-term consequences of unchecked deficits. Yael Eckstein reacts on hate crime from Israel Yael Eckstein, President and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, who offers a powerful response from Israel. She connects the attack to rising global antisemitism and the dangerous rhetoric emerging from pro-Palestinian protests on U.S. college campuses. Eckstein emphasizes the need for unity among Jews and Christians and praises former President Trump for his swift condemnation of the attack. Daniel Cameron on his Senate Run Former KY AG, Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Kentucky, on running to replace Mitch McConnell. Cameron discusses the recent tornado devastation in Kentucky, his campaign to replace Mitch McConnell, and his alignment with Donald Trump’s America First agenda. He emphasizes issues like border security, energy independence, and fighting DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies. Cameron also addresses the shifting political landscape, particularly how younger men across racial lines are moving away from the Democratic Party due to its stance on masculinity and traditional values.

For many Jews, Yom HaShoah, Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day, is deeply personal. It's a day to remember one of the darkest times in history that resulted in the horrific murder of six million Jewish souls.But while Yom HaShoah is a somber day when the entire nation pauses to remember the lives lost at the hands of the Nazis, it's also a time for all of us to remember the lessons from the Holocaust. And it's a time when we renew the pledge that the Jewish people adopted after this catastrophic event: Never forget.Yet as Yael Eckstein reminds us, it is not enough to just remember; we also must take meaningful action.

One of the best ways to learn about something is to ask questions. In this special Passover episode, Yael Eckstein explains how the tradition of the Passover seder teaches us to ask questions. In fact, the telling of the Exodus story begins not with facts and explanations, but with questions.As Yael explains, this time-honored tradition of asking questions during Passover is an annual reminder that God wants us to be lifelong seekers. By asking God our questions and entering Passover with a spirit of curiosity, we are more open to learning, rediscovering, and recommitting to Him on our journey of faith, ultimately, growing ever closer to Him.Asking questions is a skill that we teach our children at Passover, but it's an important skill that can help all of us, no matter our age.

Tu B'Shvat is a Jewish holiday that's considered the New Year of the Trees. Tu stands for the number 15, and Shvat is the name of the month in which the holiday falls. The fifteenth of Shvat, which falls in the winter, is the official date of this New Year—one of four new years on the Jewish calendar!Tu B'Shvat, also called the “birthday of trees,” takes place in the dead of winter. You might think that the spring, when the trees blossom and bloom, would be a much more appropriate time. Or maybe even autumn, when the trees display their brilliant colors. But winter, when we celebrate the life of the trees, is a time when the trees seem least alive. Many are completely bare and look all but dead. To understand why Tu B'Shvat is the New Year for Trees, we have to look beneath the surface…In this episode, Fellowship President and CEO Yael Eckstein shares about the celebration of Tu B'Shvat, and the lessons we can learn from this joyous ancient observance.Listen now—then see what you know about this Jewish celebration of God's Creation!And listen to more of Yael's Bible teachings on her daily podcast, The Chosen People.
