The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

Are immigrants really responsible for America’s biggest startup success stories? Ryan Girdusky breaks down the numbers behind billion-dollar “unicorn” companies, the debate over merit-based immigration, and what the data actually says about entrepreneurship and economic growth. He dives into where top startup founders come from, how immigration policy impacts innovation, and why this conversation has sparked major political debate.
Plus, Ryan analyzes the Texas Senate race and Ken Paxton’s rise, what Trump’s endorsement means, whether Republicans should be worried in the general election, and the shifting demographics that could reshape Texas politics in the years ahead.

Jimmy Graham and David Rutherford went through Hell Week together in Class 208. Their paths split into different SEAL teams, different deployments, different wars — and converged again through the CIA's Global Response Staff. Today, Jimmy breaks down what actually happened inside Blackwater before the Fallujah ambush, what the Benghazi movie got wrong, why he punched a teammate on a memorial motorcycle ride, and how losing his closest brother led him to build Able Shepherd — one of the most respected tactical protection training programs in the country.

Jimmy Graham is a veteran U.S. Navy SEAL (15+ years, Chief Petty Officer), former CIA GRS protective officer, and founder/CEO of Able Shepherd Emergency Readiness Training in Denver, Colorado. He is also the author of "The Return of Man" and founder of Abel Nation, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to protecting churches, schools, and communities.

What happens when warning signs are ignored—and the family court system fails to protect children? In this deeply emotional and powerful episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Hope Hooton, a mother who turned unimaginable tragedy into a mission for change after losing her two children, Alec and Lydia, to filicide. Hope shares the heartbreaking story of domestic abuse, mental health warning signs, custody decisions, and the devastating chain of events that led to the loss of her children.
Hope explains the warning markers she believes were overlooked, including coercive control, mental health crises, and domestic violence risk factors, while detailing her efforts to pass the Alec and Lydia Act—legislation aimed at prioritizing child safety in family court decisions. She also opens up about faith, grief, healing, and how she is using her platform to advocate for families and prevent future tragedies.

On this special Memorial Day episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with decorated combat veteran Sean Parnell for a powerful and emotional conversation about service, sacrifice, and the lessons America must learn from war. Sean, a former U.S. Army Airborne Ranger, Purple Heart recipient, and author of Outlaw Platoon, reflects on leading soldiers through some of the fiercest fighting in Afghanistan and the realities of combat that most Americans never see.
Together, Lisa and Sean discuss the human cost of America’s longest war, what policymakers should learn from Afghanistan, the burden placed on military families, and why honoring the fallen should also mean making wiser decisions about future conflicts. Sean also shares incredible firsthand stories from the battlefield, the brotherhood that sustained his platoon, and the challenges veterans face after returning home.
This Memorial Day conversation is a tribute to those who gave everything for freedom—and a reminder of the responsibility we have to never forget their sacrifice.
