Why Clay Doesn't Need Therapy Deep dive into the explosive political and business fallout from the public rift between President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk. Broadcasting solo while Buck Sexton is away, Clay Travis offers a detailed psychological and strategic analysis of the Trump-Musk feud, which erupted over disagreements related to government spending, NASA leadership, and AI policy. Clay frames the conflict as a clash between two powerful entrepreneurial minds—Trump, the seasoned political builder, and Musk, the impulsive, high-achieving founder frustrated by the slow pace of government bureaucracy. Clay argues that Elon Musk, despite being the most successful capitalist in modern history—leading Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter), Neuralink, and more—struggled with the limitations of government operations. Musk’s frustration, according to Clay, culminated in an emotional outburst on social media, including a controversial and unsubstantiated claim linking Trump to the Epstein files. Clay strongly refutes this accusation, calling it illogical and politically implausible, especially given the Democrats’ long-standing efforts to discredit Trump. Psychoanalysis of Trump/Musk Feud Listeners are treated to Clay’s unique perspective on the psychology of founders versus political operators, comparing Musk’s rapid, risk-taking style to Trump’s more pragmatic, deal-making approach. Clay also reflects on the broader implications of Musk’s role in politics, his acquisition of Twitter as a win for free speech, and the potential for reconciliation between the two influential figures. A must-listen for anyone following the evolving relationship between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the future of conservative politics, and the role of tech billionaires in shaping American governance. Dan Zaksheske of OutKick OutKick reporter Dan Zaksheske exposes the WNBA’s refusal to credential OutKick journalists following Britteny Griner’s alleged racial slur caught on video. The discussion highlights media bias, censorship in sports journalism, and the double standards in how racial controversies are handled depending on the individuals involved. Clay and Dan criticize the WNBA’s lack of transparency and the broader media’s failure to hold Griner accountable, contrasting it with the league’s aggressive response to unfounded racism allegations against Indiana Fever fans. Newt Gingrich, Fmr. Speaker of the House An interview with former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who discusses his new book, Trump’s Triumph: America’s Greatest Comeback. Gingrich contextualizes Trump’s political resurgence as historically unparalleled, comparing it to Grover Cleveland’s non-consecutive presidencies but noting Trump’s broader impact. He also weighs in on the Trump-Musk dynamic, characterizing Musk’s recent social media outburst as a “temper tantrum” and reinforcing Trump’s constitutional authority as president.
