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.

 

Toxic Empathy Exposed

C&B give commentary on the Minneapolis shooting, where the attacker allegedly targeted Christian children and had “Kill Donald Trump” written on the weapon. The hosts argue this reflects a disturbing pattern of violence linked to transgender identity and mental illness, exacerbated by what they call “toxic empathy” and ideological coercion.

Mary Margaret Olohan

Mary Margaret Olohan, a White House correspondent for The Daily Wire, joins the show to discuss her reporting on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who allegedly ignored warnings from Catholic and independent school leaders about threats to faith-based institutions. Despite meetings and requests for increased security funding, Walz took no action—while simultaneously promoting Minnesota as a “trans refuge” and signing legislation supporting gender-affirming care.

Media Shields the Trans Shooter

Updates on the tragic shooting at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis, where a trans-identifying shooter killed two children and wounded others. They analyze the shooter’s disturbing manifesto, which included anti-Trump messages, racial slurs, and references to past mass shooters. The hosts criticize mainstream media outlets like ABC News and CNN for downplaying the shooter’s motives and prioritizing pronoun correctness over truth, highlighting how legacy media shields Democrats from accountability.

Virginia Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears

The hour features a powerful interview with Virginia Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears, who outlines her campaign for governor. Sears touts Virginia’s economic success under Republican leadership—over 276,000 new jobs, a $10 billion surplus, and reduced regulations—and warns against her opponent Abigail Spanberger’s support for trans athletes in women’s sports, defunding police, and radical school policies. Sears calls for common-sense governance, parental rights, and law enforcement support.

Emotional Blackmail

Clay and Buck also explore the broader cultural impact of identity politics, arguing that the LGBTQ+ movement has been hijacked by trans activism. They urge gay Americans to speak out against radical gender ideology and reclaim their distinct identity. Listener emails and calls reinforce this message, including a heartfelt story from a mother whose son transitioned at 17, sparking a discussion on emotional blackmail, psychiatric influence, and family trauma.
