Going After Greenland

 

Reaction to the College Football National Championship, where Indiana defeated Miami in a game Clay Travis and Buck Sexton attended in person alongside President Donald Trump. The hosts describe the atmosphere as overwhelmingly pro‑Indiana despite Miami hosting, highlight Trump’s appearance during the national anthem, and reflect on what they characterize as a renewed sense of public patriotism at major American sporting events.

 

A deep dive into President Trump’s escalating push to acquire Greenland, which Clay and Buck frame as one of the most consequential and unexpected foreign‑policy stories of the moment. They analyze Trump’s comments asserting that Denmark cannot adequately defend the territory, his insistence that the U.S. “has to have it” for national security reasons, and prediction‑market odds placing roughly a 50‑50 chance on American control of at least part of Greenland in the near future. The hosts connect the potential acquisition to U.S. military strategy, Arctic dominance, rare‑earth minerals, long‑term resource access, and historical precedents like the Louisiana Purchase and the Alaska deal.

 

Exploring the U.S. military presence at Greenland’s Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base) and NATO reactions, including symbolic European military drills. Clay and Buck argue these gestures have not deterred Trump, who has elevated Greenland as a headline issue ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos. They discuss Trump’s negotiating style—starting with seemingly outrageous positions to force concessions—and speculate on territorial status, sovereignty questions, and whether Greenland’s small population could eventually vote to become a U.S. territory under existing American territorial law.

 

Trump 2.0

 

An evaluation of President Donald Trump’s first year in his second term, marking the one‑year anniversary of Trump’s return to office and the official start of Trump 2.0 Year Two. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton frame this hour as a turning point—from executing the campaign agenda to actively selling Trump’s record ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which the hosts describe as the final national referendum on Trump’s presidency.

 

Clay outlines eight major accomplishments of Trump’s second term so far, led by the most secure southern border in U.S. history, followed by record‑high stock prices, strong GDP growth, declining inflation despite tariffs, historic murder declines, collapsing fentanyl overdose deaths, falling mortgage rates, and four‑year‑low gas prices. Clay and Buck argue these metrics reflect decisive leadership and policy execution, even as they acknowledge lingering economic frustration among voters due to residual inflation from prior administrations. Listener polls and talkbacks show overwhelming support from Trump voters, with most grading the president’s first year an “A.”

 

Oppression Narratives 

 

A major cultural segment in Hour 2 examines what Clay and Buck describe as modern left‑wing victimhood narratives, sparked by comments made on The View by actress Pam Grier claiming she witnessed lynchings as a child in Ohio. The hosts dissect historical data showing the claim is impossible given Grier’s birth year and Ohio’s documented history. They argue the story reflects a broader media failure to challenge false narratives that reinforce ideological grievance politics, highlighting how such claims go unchallenged on mainstream television.  This discussion expands into a deeper breakdown of historical lynching data, including distinctions between frontier justice, mob violence, and formal definitions used by organizations like the NAACP. Buck emphasizes that lynching history is often misrepresented for political impact, while Clay argues objective reality and historical context must matter in public discourse.

 

Why Greenland Matters

 

A detailed discussion of Greenland and geopolitics, which Clay and Buck describe as one of the most important foreign‑policy themes emerging ahead of Davos. They respond to statements from European leaders, including the European Commission and Danish officials, rejecting any U.S. claim to Greenland. Clay and Buck outline Trump&

1. Central Claim of the Narrative

• Over 10,000 “criminal illegal aliens” have been arrested in Minneapolis alone, with:
  • 3,000 arrests in the past six weeks
  • 70% tied to violent crimes
• These arrests are attributed to DHS and ICE operations under the Trump administration.

---

2. Crimes Described

The arrests are said to include individuals accused of:

• Murder
• Rape
• Child sexual offenses
• Other violent felonies

This is the “worst of the worst” offenders and the arrests are a major public safety victory.

---

3. Accusations Against Minnesota Leadership:

• Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
• Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey

of the following:

• Failing to protect public safety
• Undermining federal immigration enforcement
• Encouraging hostility toward ICE
• Obstructing law enforcement through public statements

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating both officials for allegedly impeding federal law enforcement, though it acknowledges:

• The investigation is in early stages
• No subpoenas or charges are confirmed

---

4. Allegations of Massive Financial Fraud

• At least $19 billion in fraud tied to Minneapolis alone
• Federal investigators are conducting large‑scale financial investigations
• Some funds went to terrorist organizations (e.g., Al‑Shabab)

---

5. This Federal Case also includes:

Ties to the Feeding Our Future organization:

• Is a real federal investigation in Minnesota
• Involves approximately $250 million in alleged pandemic-era food program fraud
• Has resulted in charges against 70 individuals (between 2022–2024)

---

6. Media Bias Argument

• CBS and CNN are deliberately misleading the public
• Journalists are accused of:
  • Lying about arrest numbers
  • Downplaying criminal activity
  • Framing DOJ actions as “intimidation”

1. Role of Popular Uprising

• Millions of Iranians are described as actively protesting against the ruling clerical regime.
• The movement is portrayed as organic, domestic, and secular, not Islamist or anti‑Western.
• Economic collapse is identified as the primary catalyst rather than a single political trigger.
• Protesters are framed as the legitimate engine of change, with the U.S. positioned as a supporter rather than the instigator.

---

2. Economic Collapse as a Destabilizer

• Hyperinflation and currency collapse (rial exceeding 1,000,000 to the dollar) have crippled daily life.
• Bazaar closures, labor strikes (notably in energy), and widespread shortages are presented as systemic stressors.
• Low global oil prices weaken Iran’s primary revenue source, limiting the regime’s ability to fund repression and foreign proxies.

---

3. U.S. Policy Contrast: Trump vs. Obama/Biden

• There is a sharp contrast between:
  • Obama/Biden: Characterized as conciliatory, passive, and supportive of engagement (e.g., Iran nuclear deal).
  • Trump: Portrayed as deterrence‑focused, confrontational, and openly supportive of regime change.
• Trump’s public endorsement of a “new government” in Iran is framed as unprecedented and strategically consequential.

---

4. Deterrence Without Occupation

• We reject a large‑scale military invasion.
• Instead, we support:
  • Targeted military strikes (e.g., nuclear facilities, IRGC leadership)
  • Covert operations
  • Clear deterrent threats against mass repression
• The killing of Qasem Soleimani is highlighted as a key inflection point that shattered regime confidence.

---

5. Iran’s Strategic Weakness

• The regime is increasingly isolated as allies (Venezuela, Syria, Russia) face their own crises.

---

6. Internal Regime Fractures

• The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is portrayed as a potential kingmaker or coup actor.
• The text suggests the IRGC:
  • Controls vast economic assets
  • Is deeply unpopular with the public

• A coup becomes likely if U.S. pressure and labor strikes converge.

---

7. Information Control and Fear

• Internet shutdowns and communication blackouts are signs of regime panic.
• Supreme Leader Khamenei fears internal reform more than outright confrontation, drawing parallels to Soviet collapse.

---

9. Broader Geopolitical Context

• Iran’s situation is linked to potential domino effects in Venezuela and Cuba.
• Energy independence and low oil prices are framed as key U.S. national security tools.
• The moment is compared to the fall of the Berlin Wall, suggesting a possible systemic collapse of authoritarian regimes without U.S. ground wars.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.

 

Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

 

 You're Fired!

 

Clay and Buck open with breaking news of another ICE-involved shooting after agents were attacked during an arrest operation. The suspects—identified as Venezuelan illegal immigrants with final deportation orders—reportedly assaulted an officer, prompting him to fire in self-defense. This follows a string of violent confrontations and protests targeting federal agents, with ICE vehicles vandalized and weapons stolen from government vehicles. The hosts warn that Minneapolis has become the epicenter of Resistance 2.0, echoing the chaos of the 2020 BLM riots, and argue that President Trump must act decisively to prevent nationwide unrest.

 

The conversation intensifies as Clay and Buck analyze Trump’s Truth Social post threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act if Minnesota officials fail to stop organized attacks on federal law enforcement. They frame this as a defining moment for Trump’s second term, contrasting his current posture with what they call the missed opportunity to crush BLM riots in 2020. Buck emphasizes that Democrats are weaponizing immigration enforcement as a political wedge, portraying ICE as “Gestapo” and encouraging obstruction—language that, they argue, incites violence against officers. Clay underscores the stakes: Trump cannot afford to break faith with voters on border security, making Minneapolis a “crucible decision” for his presidency.

 

The Left Wants to Abolish ICE

 

Clay and Buck open with sharp analysis of Rep. Shri Thanedar’s renewed call to abolish ICE, reviving a radical slogan first championed by AOC during Trump’s first term. They argue that Democrats’ strategy is clear: dismantle enforcement while keeping immigration laws on the books to avoid openly admitting their open borders agenda. This, they contend, is part of a long-term plan to reshape America’s demographics and political landscape.

 

The hosts highlight Trump’s historic success in reversing decades of migration trends, noting that net migration turned negative in 2025 for the first time since the 1920s. Approximately 2.6 million illegal immigrants left the country through deportations and self-removal, a stark contrast to Biden’s border surge that saw monthly inflows soar to 200,000. Clay and Buck frame this as proof that Trump’s enforcement policies are working, even as Democrats and media allies attempt to undermine ICE operations by portraying agents as brutal and lawless. They warn that rhetoric from figures like Hakeem Jeffries—accusing ICE of “brutalizing American families”—is fueling hostility and setting the stage for violence against federal officers, echoing the chaos of 2020’s BLM riots.

 

Gov't Makes Things Expensive 

 

The conversation then pivots to Trump’s new “Great Healthcare Plan,” unveiled by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, which emphasizes affordability and transparency. The plan aims to permanently lower prescription drug prices, redirect subsidies from insurers to consumers, mandate public price disclosures to eliminate surprise bills, and hold insurance companies accountable with clear rate comparisons. Clay and Buck stress that Trump learned from Republicans’ 2018 midterm losses over healthcare and is now positioning affordability—alongside housing and credit card interest reform—as a cornerstone of his economic message. They argue that Trump’s proactive approach on healthcare and cost-of-living issues could resonate deeply with voters, contrasting his market-driven solutions with Democrats’ push for government control.

 

Should We Buy Greenland?

 

Updates on President Trump’s Greenland acquisition push, following high-level meetings between U.S., Danish, and Greenlandic officials at the White House. Clay and Buck explain Trump’s rationale for pursuing Greenland as a long-term national security asset, citing its strategic Arctic location, potential mineral wealth, and historical parallels to Seward’s purchase of Alaska and the Louisiana Purchase. They argue that Greenland could be critical for monitoring nuclear submarine activity and countering Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic, framing Trump’s vision as a ce

1. Situation in Iran

• Mass Killings & Crackdown: Thousands have reportedly been killed or abducted by the Iranian regime during protests.
• U.S. Response:
  • President Trump and the White House are applying maximum pressure on Iran.
  • Actions include canceling meetings with Iranian officials, imposing a 25% tariff on countries doing business with Iran, and signaling possible military intervention.
  • Military options remain on the table; U.S. security teams are reviewing potential responses, including airstrikes.
• Global Reaction:
  • European nations summoned Iranian ambassadors.
  • Bipartisan U.S. lawmakers advocate restoring internet access in Iran to help protesters organize.
• Iranian Threats:
  • Iranian state TV issued threats against President Trump, referencing past assassination attempts.

---

2. U.S. Domestic Issues

• Supreme Court Debate:
  • A major discussion occurred about men in women’s sports and defining what constitutes a woman.
  • The ACLU reportedly struggled to define “woman” during arguments.
• Senate Hearing on Abortion Pills:
  • Focused on safety and regulation of abortion medication (e.g., Mifepristone).
  • Republicans pushed for stricter oversight; Democrats emphasized access to care.
• Controversial Exchange:
  • Senator Josh Hawley questioned Dr. Nisha Verma (OB-GYN) on whether men can get pregnant.
  • Dr. Verma avoided a direct yes/no answer, citing complexity and patient identities.
  • Hawley insisted on biological clarity, arguing that biological men cannot get pregnant and criticizing refusal to acknowledge this as undermining science and constitutional protections for women.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.

Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

TX Sen. Ted Cruz Joins the Show!

Clay highlights encouraging data showing core inflation dropping to 2.6%, its lowest level since March 2021. The hosts explain why this trend signals progress toward the Federal Reserve’s 2% target and could lead to lower interest rates in 2026. They also discuss affordability challenges and debate proposals like capping credit card interest rates at 10%, with Senator Ted Cruz joining the show to warn about unintended consequences that could hurt low-income Americans by restricting access to credit.

The hour concludes with a deep dive into Iran’s escalating protests against the Ayatollah’s regime, featuring an extended interview with Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz calls the uprising a potential “Berlin Wall moment,” predicting the Islamic theocracy could collapse within weeks following its humiliating defeat in the recent 12-day war with Israel. He praises President Trump’s strong stance in support of Iranian freedom and outlines strategies ranging from cyber operations to limited kinetic strikes against regime forces, while stressing the importance of keeping the revolution authentically Iranian. Cruz also reveals that Elon Musk has activated Starlink over Iran to help protesters bypass government censorship, underscoring the role of technology in modern resistance movements.

 

Buck's Crazy Credit Card Story

 

From cultural flashpoints, the discussion moves to economic policy and affordability, spotlighting Trump’s proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year. Clay questions whether a president can legally impose such a cap, while Buck recalls predatory practices like shifting due dates and punitive APR hikes that previously triggered regulatory crackdowns. Senator Ted Cruz warns that such caps could backfire by restricting credit access for high-risk borrowers, pushing them toward payday lenders or worse. Listener calls enrich the debate: one caller warns that temporary caps could encourage larger balances only to reset at 20% later, echoing pitfalls of adjustable-rate mortgages; another shares a teachable moment with her grandson about compound interest and minimum payments, underscoring the need for financial literacy in schools. Clay contextualizes Trump’s move as part of a broader populist strategy to address affordability concerns heading into the 2026 midterms, alongside proposals to curb institutional home purchases.

 

Financial Literacy Isn't Taught at School

 

The hour opens with a candid discussion on financial literacy and mortgage realities, as Clay explains how most homeowners misunderstand amortization tables. For the first decade of a 30-year mortgage, nearly all payments go toward interest rather than principal, leaving many Americans unaware of how little equity they build early on. The hosts argue that schools fail to teach essential financial skills—such as understanding compound interest, credit card debt, and mortgage structures—leaving consumers vulnerable to predatory practices. This ties into their broader critique of systemic financial inequities and the need for transparency in lending.

 

The conversation then shifts to Trump’s economic agenda, highlighted by his speech at the Detroit Economic Club. Clay and Buck analyze Trump’s populist proposals, including a one-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10% and restrictions on institutional investors buying single-family homes. They debate the feasibility and impact of these measures, noting that while Trump’s plan may face legal hurdles, it resonates politically by addressing affordability concerns. Buck shares personal anecdotes about credit card companies’ predatory tactics, reinforcing why Trump’s stance on consumer protection is striking a chord with voters. The hosts also explore how housing shortages are exacerbated by illegal immigration and corporate ownership of residential properties, driving up prices and squeezing middle-class families.

 

SCOTUS Trans Athlete Arguments

 

From economics, the hour pivots to a landmark Supreme Court case on transgender athletes in women’s sports, featuring an interview with Jennifer Sey, founder of XX-XY Athletics and former Levi’s executive. Sey, who spoke at a rally on the steps of the Supreme Court alongside Riley Gaines, calls the case a fight for r
