Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into President Donald Trump’s bold crime-fighting initiative in Washington, D.C., highlighting his decision to join law enforcement patrols on the streets. The hosts frame this move as both a serious public safety effort and a media spectacle, likening it to a real-life episode of “Cops” and a missed opportunity for Saturday Night Live satire. The segment explores how Trump’s presence forces mainstream media to cover crime reduction efforts, despite their usual reluctance.

The hour also covers a controversial arrest on the National Mall involving an undocumented immigrant with a prior charge of aggravated sexual battery against a minor. The media’s emotional response—particularly from Miami Herald journalist Julie Brown—is criticized for ignoring the suspect’s criminal history. Clay and Buck argue this reflects a broader pattern of journalistic bias and misinformation.

Crime statistics in D.C. take center stage, with data showing a dramatic drop in violent crime following National Guard deployment: homicides halted for seven days, carjackings down 83%, robberies down 46%, and overall violent crime down 22%. The hosts emphasize that these improvements disproportionately benefit Black residents, who make up 94% of shooting victims in the city, challenging Democratic narratives that law enforcement is inherently racially biased.

The conversation expands to national implications, suggesting Trump’s crime-reduction model could be replicated in high-crime cities like Memphis, Kansas City, New Orleans, and Louisville. The hosts advocate for proven policing strategies such as stop-and-frisk and targeted enforcement in crime hotspots, arguing that Democrats face a political dilemma if these tactics prove effective.

Civil rights and gender identity issues also take the spotlight, with Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon joining the show to discuss Title IX enforcement. She outlines the DOJ’s litigation against states like California and Maine for allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports, citing safety and fairness concerns. Dhillon also addresses college admissions, revealing that the DOJ has sent compliance letters to top universities to enforce race-neutral policies following the Supreme Court’s affirmative action ruling. She warns against backdoor diversity practices, such as essay prompts and video interviews used to infer race and gender.

Listeners weigh in with reactions to Trump’s patrol plans, Cracker Barrel’s branding controversy, and broader cultural shifts.
