The Buck Sexton Show

What exactly are we celebrating on Indigenous Peoples’ Day? Buck takes on the debate over Columbus Day and the movement to replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day, arguing that the holiday was created not simply to recognize indigenous people, but as a direct counter to Columbus and the Age of Exploration. He digs into the history of pre-Columbian societies, including warfare, conquest, slavery and human sacrifice, while challenging the romanticized version of indigenous civilization that often dominates the modern conversation. If Columbus and European exploration are going to be judged by the full weight of history, Buck argues the civilizations that existed in the Americas before Columbus should be subjected to the same scrutiny.

Buck breaks down two major stories to close out the week. First, he reacts to the controversial ICE shooting in New York City and the backlash from Mayor Zohran Mamdani, as protests erupt and questions swirl over exactly what happened during the attempted arrest. Buck examines the dispute over the ICE officers’ actions, Mamdani’s calls to abolish ICE and the larger political battle over immigration enforcement heading into the midterms. Then, Buck turns to Pete Hegseth’s announcement that the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan will be public and livestreamed. He weighs in on whether executions should be public, the ethics of livestreaming the death penalty, whether capital punishment actually serves as a deterrent and why he believes the firing squad should be the preferred method of execution.

Where is James Talarico? The Texas Democrat has been off the campaign trail for 12 days, with his campaign saying he’s battling the flu. But as his absence stretches on, questions are mounting, President Trump is weighing in, and the prediction markets are moving in Talarico’s favor. Buck breaks down what’s going on in the Texas Senate race, why he’s not buying the idea that Republicans are suddenly doomed in red states, and how the media narrative around races in Florida, South Carolina, Kansas, Michigan, and beyond could shape turnout heading into the midterms.

The Cornell Seven case is escalating as new investigations, disputed evidence and political pressure put the explosive allegations back in the spotlight. While no criminal charges have been filed, New York Attorney General Letitia James is now overseeing the criminal investigation, and former acting Attorney General Sally Yates has been brought in to lead an independent review for Cornell. Meanwhile, new reporting is raising questions about what happened that night, the university’s original investigation and conflicting accounts surrounding the allegations. Buck breaks down the latest developments, separates the university disciplinary process from the criminal justice system and explains why he believes the case is becoming increasingly politicized.

Tennessee tried to execute death row inmate Christa Pike by lethal injection. She survived. Pike remained hospitalized, unconscious and on a ventilator after receiving two doses of the execution drug, while Governor Bill Lee ordered a review of what went wrong. Buck reacts to the extraordinary failed execution and asks how a state can botch the ultimate punishment this badly. He also takes on the larger death penalty debate, from lethal injection and decades-long appeals to whether executions should be carried out more quickly and transparently. Buck argues that if states are going to maintain the death penalty, the entire system needs a serious rethink.

The Cornell 7 case has taken another major turn. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has appointed Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor to investigate the sexual assault allegations surrounding a 2024 incident at a Cornell fraternity, after questions emerged about how police and the local district attorney handled the original investigation. Buck breaks down the conflicting accounts at the center of the case, the debate over intoxication and consent, and why he believes the decision to bring in James raises serious questions about politics, prosecutorial power and due process. With the criminal investigation now reopened, Buck examines what the Cornell 7 controversy could mean far beyond one college campus.

A Massachusetts lesbian bar is going viral after its decision to lift a long-standing N95 mask requirement for just one night a week triggered outrage, boycott threats and a chaotic community backlash. Buck breaks down the controversy surrounding The Last Ditch in Greenfield, Massachusetts, from the reaction to the relaxed mask policy to the bar's extensive community rules and the Zoom meeting that reportedly descended into chaos. What started as an attempt to bring in more business has turned into one of the strangest culture-war stories of the year.

Nearly two years after Thomas Crooks opened fire on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, questions about the attempted assassination haven't gone away. Was there a second shooter? Did the Secret Service stand down? Did Crooks have help? Was the FBI hiding information about his online activity? Who paid for his cremation? Was there a foreign connection? And how did a 20-year-old gunman manage to get onto a rooftop with a clear shot at Trump in the first place? Buck takes on 10 of the biggest theories surrounding Thomas Crooks and the Butler assassination attempt, separating what the evidence actually shows from what remains unexplained.

Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced eight articles of impeachment against the Defense Secretary, including charges centered on the war in Iran, but Speaker Mike Johnson ended the House session before the issue came to a vote. Now the battle is set to return when Congress reconvenes after the midterms. Buck breaks down why Democrats could seize on the Hegseth impeachment effort during the lame-duck session, what they're accusing him of, and why Hegseth has become such a major political target in Washington. Plus, Buck argues this fight could be only the beginning, with impeachment investigations and battles over the Trump administration potentially becoming a major focus if Democrats take control of the House.
