Daily Review With Clay and Buck - Jun 09 2025
The LA Riots the escalating unrest in Los Angeles, which Clay compares to the violent protests of summer 2020. He describes scenes of chaos, including burning police vehicles, attacks on law enforcement, and vandalism of autonomous Waymo cars. Clay emphasizes the presence of foreign flags and anti-ICE sentiment among rioters, suggesting the protests are “astro-turfed” and not organic grassroots movements. Clay praises President Trump’s swift response to the violence, highlighting the deployment of the National Guard and a renewed commitment to law and order. He contrasts this with what he sees as weak leadership from California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. Trump’s proactive stance, Clay argues, is a direct lesson learned from his first term—namely, that violent protests must be stopped immediately to prevent national destabilization. The show also spotlights a significant drop in crime rates across major U.S. cities under President Trump’s leadership. Clay cites dramatic year-over-year declines in murder rates in cities like New York (-27%), Chicago (-24%), and Denver (-63%), attributing this trend to Trump’s law-and-order policies and support for police departments nationwide. Riley Gaines Tells Us Her Reaction to Simone Biles In a cultural flashpoint, Clay previews an upcoming interview with Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer and OutKick contributor, who responds to criticism from Olympic gymnast Simone Biles. Biles had publicly attacked Gaines for her outspoken stance on protecting women’s sports from male participation. Clay and Gaines dissect the backlash, with Gaines defending her advocacy and calling out the hypocrisy of elite female athletes who support trans inclusion only after retiring from competition. TN Senator Marsha Blackburn Senator Blackburn joins Clay Travis in-studio to address the escalating crisis of illegal immigration and the obstruction of ICE operations in cities like Los Angeles and Nashville. She highlights the bipartisan support for removing criminal illegal aliens and introduces her legislative efforts, including the REMOVE Act and a bill to prevent the doxxing of law enforcement officers. Blackburn criticizes local officials, including Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell, for undermining federal immigration enforcement and endangering public safety. She also discusses the Department of Justice’s investigation into these actions and emphasizes the importance of upholding the rule of law. The conversation shifts to the economy as Blackburn outlines the goals of the “Big Beautiful Bill”, a major legislative package aimed at making the Trump-era tax cuts permanent. She details provisions such as eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits, supporting small businesses through R&D incentives, and promoting long-term economic growth. Blackburn underscores President Donald Trump’s leadership in driving pro-growth policies and the importance of achieving a 3% GDP growth rate to reduce the national deficit. AL Senator Tommy Tuberville Senator Tommy Tuberville joins the show to discuss his upcoming run for governor of Alabama and the challenges facing college athletics. Tuberville, a former football coach, critiques the current state of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals and the financial pressures on college sports programs. He voices strong support for protecting women’s sports from biological males competing unfairly, referencing recent controversial wins by transgender athletes in blue states. Tuberville also backs the “Big Beautiful Bill,” stressing the need for tax relief, economic expansion, and support for working-class Americans.

Hour 2 - The LA Riots
Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and unfiltered discussion centered on the escalating unrest in Los Angeles, the political fallout, and the national implications of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Broadcasting from Washington, D.C., Clay Travis dives into the aftermath of violent protests in LA, linking them to broader issues of law enforcement, immigration enforcement, and political accountability. The hour opens with a sharp critique of California leadership, particularly Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who are accused of failing to maintain public safety amid riots and arson. Clay highlights the connection between recent LA wildfires and the dangers of unchecked civil unrest, emphasizing the risk of further destruction in a city already vulnerable to fire-related disasters. A major theme of this hour is the growing national support for President Trump’s immigration agenda. Referencing recent CNN polling, Clay underscores how Trump’s approval rating on immigration has surged dramatically, reflecting a shift in public sentiment. The show critiques Democratic leaders for allegedly ignoring the will of the people and failing to enforce federal immigration laws, with Clay arguing that Trump is stepping in where local and state officials have failed. The segment also features audio clips from Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom, both of whom blame the Trump administration for provoking unrest. Clay counters these claims, asserting that Trump is acting to restore order and protect American citizens. He also discusses the constitutional authority of the federal government to override state and local jurisdictions in matters of immigration and public safety. A particularly intense portion of the hour involves Clay’s call for law enforcement to be empowered to use deadly force when under attack, citing videos of LA police officers being assaulted with rocks and Molotov cocktails. He invites police officers and LA residents to call in and share their perspectives, many of whom agree that officers should be allowed to defend themselves with lethal force if necessary. The hour concludes with commentary on the political motivations behind the unrest, suggesting that Democrats may be using chaos to undermine President Trump.
