The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

Has Donald Trump permanently transformed the Republican Party?
On this episode of It's a Numbers Game, Ryan Girdusky sits down with Senator Jim Banks of Indiana to discuss the rise of working-class conservatism, the future of election integrity legislation, the battle over redistricting, America's economic challenges, and the ongoing effort to reduce dependence on China.
Senator Banks shares personal stories about his union-worker father, explains why Trump's message resonated with working-class voters long before the political establishment understood it, and discusses how the GOP is evolving into a party focused on everyday Americans rather than political elites.
The conversation also covers the SAVE Act, Senate filibuster reform, redistricting battles across the country, inflation, government spending, the national debt, manufacturing jobs, and efforts to bring critical supply chains back to the United States.

What do Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner and Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico have in common? According to Tudor Dixon and Kyle Olson, they represent the increasingly radical direction of today's Democratic Party. In this episode, Tudor breaks down the controversies, statements, and policy positions surrounding two rising Democratic candidates who are generating headlines for all the wrong reasons.
From allegations surrounding Graham Platner's past social media posts, political rhetoric, and personal controversies to James Talarico's progressive views on faith, abortion, gender ideology, immigration, and voter ID laws, Tudor examines why these candidates are gaining traction within the modern Democratic coalition—and what their rise says about the party's future.

Venture investor Michael Thompson sits down with Navy SEAL and intelligence veteran David Rutherford for a forward-looking briefing on the technologies that will define the next decade: electric flying aircraft, small nuclear reactors, autonomous trucking, and the AI build-out underneath all of it. Thompson — an early backer of Joby Aviation and Oklo — breaks down why "the AI trap" is going to hit middle-management and administrative jobs first, why energy is the real linchpin of American power, and why he believes we're living through a once-in-a-century industrial leap he calls the "1870 thesis." David pulls it back to the only question that matters: what does this mean for your family, your work, and the country's edge over China?

Is California finally ready for a political shake-up?
In this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with California Republican Party Chair Corrin Rankin to discuss the growing momentum behind Republican candidates Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt, the state's political future, and whether voters are ready to reject decades of Democratic leadership.
