What a Year! Clay begins by confirming that the Brown University shooter, Claudio Neves Valenti, is dead after taking his own life in Salem, New Hampshire. Authorities now believe Valenti, a 48-year-old former Brown student and Portuguese national, was also responsible for the assassination of an MIT professor specializing in nuclear science and engineering, raising serious questions about campus security and law enforcement failures. Clay criticizes Brown University for lacking functional cameras in key areas, arguing that this incompetence allowed Valenti to evade capture for days and indirectly led to the MIT professor’s death. The case was ultimately cracked thanks to a homeless man’s tip, which may earn him a $50,000 reward. Clay then pivots to the anticipated release of the Epstein files, noting that the New York Times has already confirmed what he and Buck have long maintained: there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by President Trump despite years of speculation. He frames this as proof of partisan lawfare, contrasting the relentless pursuit of Trump over bookkeeping charges with the absence of any Epstein-related allegations. Just "Don't" Do It - Lessons from Nike A reflection on the show’s growth since 2021, celebrating its expansion to over 550 stations nationwide and thanking listeners for their loyalty. From there, Clay pivots to a major business story: Nike’s stock collapse, which he argues is the inevitable result of the company’s cultural shift from celebrating athletic excellence to embracing woke activism. He traces Nike’s decline from its Michael Jordan era—built on meritocracy and performance—to its 2018 Colin Kaepernick campaign, which prioritized political messaging over sports achievement. Clay underscores that Nike stock has fallen from $85 a share in 2018 to $59 today, even as the broader market surged, framing this as a cautionary tale that “culture wins” and that abandoning core values for virtue signaling leads to failure. Building on this theme, Clay explores the broader implications of cultural erosion, warning that internal decay—whether in corporations, families, or nations—poses a greater threat than external forces. He uses Nike as an example of how woke ideology undermines success and argues that the same dynamic is playing out in American politics and society. This segues into a discussion of conservative principles and truth-telling, highlighted by fiery remarks from Ben Shapiro at AmFest, where Shapiro condemned conspiracy theories and called out grifters within the movement, including former colleague Candace Owens, for spreading baseless claims about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Clay praises Shapiro’s insistence on evidence and principle over populist pandering, warning that the conservative movement must guard against internal frauds who exploit grievance culture. Why Culture Matters Clay closes the program with a passionate reflection on the power of culture in shaping institutions and personal choices, sharing a story about Vanderbilt University’s decisive response to pro-Palestinian campus protests after the Hamas terror attacks. He praises Chancellor Daniel Diermeier for enforcing discipline and protecting free speech without tolerating chaos, noting that such leadership has driven a surge in applications to SEC schools. Clay frames this as proof that “culture wins,” urging listeners to stand firm against woke ideology and defend Western values. The hour ends on an inspiring note with a former Hamas hostage’s testimony that terrorists feared Donald Trump, reinforcing Clay’s argument that strength and resolve are essential in confronting evil.

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show closes out the year with major breaking news and sharp political analysis. Clay begins by confirming that the Brown University shooter, Claudio Neves Valenti, is dead after taking his own life in Salem, New Hampshire. Authorities now believe Valenti, a 48-year-old former Brown student and Portuguese national, was also responsible for the assassination of an MIT professor specializing in nuclear science and engineering, raising serious questions about campus security and law enforcement failures. Clay criticizes Brown University for lacking functional cameras in key areas, arguing that this incompetence allowed Valenti to evade capture for days and indirectly led to the MIT professor’s death. The case was ultimately cracked thanks to a homeless man’s tip, which may earn him a $50,000 reward. Clay then pivots to the anticipated release of the Epstein files, noting that the New York Times has already confirmed what he and Buck have long maintained: there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by President Trump despite years of speculation. He frames this as proof of partisan lawfare, contrasting the relentless pursuit of Trump over bookkeeping charges with the absence of any Epstein-related allegations. The hour also tackles global headlines, including the Bondi Beach Hanukkah massacre in Australia, where terrorists killed 15 Jewish worshippers. Clay blasts the Australian government’s response—calling for mass gun confiscation—arguing that criminals ignore gun laws and that stricter regulations only punish law-abiding citizens. From there, he dives into Georgia’s 2020 election fraud revelations, citing reports that 315,000 ballots in Fulton County failed to meet state requirements yet were counted, swinging two Senate seats to Democrats and enabling Biden’s legislative agenda. Clay compares Biden’s unprecedented 81 million votes in 2020 to “steroid-era baseball stats,” noting the sharp drop in turnout for Kamala Harris in 2024 as further evidence of systemic irregularities. He calls for mandatory voter ID and in-person voting as the cornerstone of election integrity. Additional commentary includes Clay’s critique of the FBI’s internal opposition to the Mar-a-Lago raid, revealed through emails showing agents questioned probable cause before Biden’s DOJ ordered the unprecedented action. He also previews a segment on Nike’s collapsing stock, attributing the decline to “woke corporate culture” undermining brand strength. The hour closes with lighter moments as Clay engages listeners on holiday talkbacks, defending his love for Love Actually as a Christmas classic and sparking humorous debates over music and movies.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful mix of cultural critique, political insight, and holiday fun as Clay hosts the final live broadcast of the year. The hour opens with a reflection on the show’s growth since 2021, celebrating its expansion to over 550 stations nationwide and thanking listeners for their loyalty. From there, Clay pivots to a major business story: Nike’s stock collapse, which he argues is the inevitable result of the company’s cultural shift from celebrating athletic excellence to embracing woke activism. He traces Nike’s decline from its Michael Jordan era—built on meritocracy and performance—to its 2018 Colin Kaepernick campaign, which prioritized political messaging over sports achievement. Clay underscores that Nike stock has fallen from $85 a share in 2018 to $59 today, even as the broader market surged, framing this as a cautionary tale that “culture wins” and that abandoning core values for virtue signaling leads to failure. Building on this theme, Clay explores the broader implications of cultural erosion, warning that internal decay—whether in corporations, families, or nations—poses a greater threat than external forces. He uses Nike as an example of how woke ideology undermines success and argues that the same dynamic is playing out in American politics and society. This segues into a discussion of conservative principles and truth-telling, highlighted by fiery remarks from Ben Shapiro at AmFest, where Shapiro condemned conspiracy theories and called out grifters within the movement, including former colleague Candace Owens, for spreading baseless claims about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Clay praises Shapiro’s insistence on evidence and principle over populist pandering, warning that the conservative movement must guard against internal frauds who exploit grievance culture. The hour also touches on Erica Kirk’s endorsement of JD Vance for 2028, signaling early momentum for the Vice President as the next GOP standard-bearer. Clay uses these moments to emphasize that conservatism’s foundation lies in personal responsibility and cultural strength, not victimhood or performative outrage. He argues that America’s greatest danger is not China or Russia but the internal dismantling of Western values through censorship, identity politics, and attacks on free speech—citing examples like the removal of a UK Christmas card for allegedly “invalidating trans experiences.” To lighten the mood, Clay invites listeners to weigh in on the best Christmas movies, declaring Christmas Vacation the undisputed champion while sparking debates over classics like It’s a Wonderful Life, Elf, Die Hard, and even controversial picks like Love Actually. The segment blends humor with nostalgia, offering a festive close to a thought-provoking hour that underscores the show’s core message: culture shapes destiny, and defending truth is essential to preserving freedom.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show wraps up the year with a dynamic mix of hard-hitting political analysis, cultural commentary, and lighthearted holiday debates. Clay opens the final hour by revisiting breaking news updates, including confirmation that the Brown University shooter is dead and suspected of also killing an MIT professor specializing in nuclear science. He notes the ongoing investigation into the shooter’s motives and the expected release of the Epstein files, which have dominated headlines. Clay also highlights recent cultural and political flashpoints, such as Nike’s collapsing stock price following years of woke branding decisions and revelations of Fulton County election fraud in Georgia’s 2020 race, which he argues altered Senate control and enabled Biden’s legislative agenda. The centerpiece of Hour 3 is an in-depth conversation with Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, who begins with a humorous recounting of his grueling Thanksgiving workout—a mile of lunges—before pivoting to serious national security concerns. Mullen defends President Trump’s authorization of drone strikes on narco boats linked to Venezuelan cartels, explaining that these operations comply with long-standing legal frameworks and are essential to combating drug trafficking that has killed more Americans through overdoses than U.S. combat deaths in Vietnam. He blasts critics like Adam Schiff for hypocrisy and underscores the administration’s proactive stance against cartel terrorism. Mullin also calls out Bernie Sanders for blocking bipartisan “Right to Try” legislation that would allow pediatric cancer patients access to experimental treatments, accusing Sanders of prioritizing socialist healthcare agendas over saving lives. The hour then shifts to cultural and lifestyle topics, including a spirited debate over the best Christmas movies. Mullen argues for Rambo as an unconventional holiday pick, while Clay champions Christmas Vacation and listeners weigh in with favorites like Die Hard, Home Alone, It’s a Wonderful Life, and underrated gems such as Four Christmases and The Man Who Invented Christmas. These exchanges provide a festive counterpoint to earlier discussions on policy and culture. Clay closes the program with a passionate reflection on the power of culture in shaping institutions and personal choices, sharing a story about Vanderbilt University’s decisive response to pro-Palestinian campus protests after the Hamas terror attacks. He praises Chancellor Daniel Diermeier for enforcing discipline and protecting free speech without tolerating chaos, noting that such leadership has driven a surge in applications to SEC schools. Clay frames this as proof that “culture wins,” urging listeners to stand firm against woke ideology and defend Western values. The hour ends on an inspiring note with a former Hamas hostage’s testimony that terrorists feared Donald Trump, reinforcing Clay’s argument that strength and resolve are essential in confronting evil. This final hour of 2025 blends breaking news, political insight, cultural critique, and holiday cheer, underscoring the show’s core themes: truth, accountability, and the fight to preserve American values.
