In this explosive episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson dive into the dramatic return of Texas Democrats who fled the state to block redistricting legislation.

Yes, DC is Dangerous

Trump’s declaration that crime is “out of control” and his plan to deploy federal resources in Washington, D.C. has sparked fierce debate, with Democrats downplaying the issue and conservative voices pushing back.  Clay and Buck dissect the Democratic response, particularly Chuck Schumer’s claim that Trump is using crime as a distraction from the Epstein case. They argue this narrative is politically desperate and disconnected from reality. Polling data from the Washington Post reveals that 91% of D.C. residents believe crime is a problem, with 51% calling it extremely serious, reinforcing Trump’s position and exposing a rift between political elites and everyday Americans.

Commentary from figures like Joe Scarborough and S.E. Cupp—typically aligned with the left—acknowledges the severity of urban crime and criticizes the Democratic strategy of relying on charts and statistics to dismiss public fear. The show highlights how Trump’s tough-on-crime stance resonates with voters, especially in lower-income and minority communities disproportionately affected by violence.

Subway Guy Gets Fired

A viral incident involving a Department of Justice employee assaulting a police officer with a Subway sandwich becomes symbolic of the broader cultural clash over law enforcement. The assailant was charged with felony assault, and Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized that such behavior will not be tolerated under the Trump administration. The hosts argue this marks a shift toward restoring respect for law enforcement and public safety.

The hour also explores urban crime disparities, comparing affluent areas like Northwest D.C. and Georgetown to high-crime zones like Southeast D.C. and parts of Houston. The discussion underscores how liberal elites, often shielded by private security, remain insulated from the violence impacting working-class neighborhoods.

Buck Gets "Served"

A spirited debate over Buck Sexton’s claim that he can serve a tennis ball at 100 mph. Professional tennis legends Andy Roddick and John Isner weigh in, casting doubt on the claim and sparking playful banter about technique, athleticism, and tennis attire. Lara Travis, Clay’s wife, joins the conversation via talkback, laying out the terms of the bet and rooting for Buck to defy the odds. The segment draws comparisons to amateur sports challenges and includes reflections on training for the NFL Combine, highlighting the difference between raw power and refined skill.

AK Gov. Mike Dunleavy

Clay and Buck discuss the geopolitical significance of Alaska, emphasizing its proximity to Russia and its strategic military assets, including missile intercepts and the largest Coast Guard presence in the U.S.  Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy joins the show to provide insight into the summit’s logistics, security measures, and the potential for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to join future peace talks. The governor praises Trump’s leadership and expresses optimism that the summit could mark a historic turning point in resolving the war in Ukraine.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show features a dynamic and wide-ranging conversation centered on media bias, political accountability, and national security, with guest Howie Kurtz from Fox News’ Media Buzz and commentary from Karol Markowicz of the New York Post. The hour begins with a critical look at the mainstream media’s reaction to President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown in Washington, D.C. The hosts and Kurtz highlight how Democrat-aligned outlets like CNN and MSNBC reflexively oppose Trump’s initiatives, even when crime statistics and public sentiment support his actions. They note that even left-leaning voices such as Joe Scarborough have acknowledged the severity of urban crime, underscoring the disconnect between political elites and everyday Americans.

The conversation shifts to allegations against Senator Adam Schiff, who is accused of leaking classified information to damage Trump. Kurtz expresses caution due to the anonymous nature of the whistleblower but acknowledges the broader pattern of political targeting. The hosts then explore the decline of legacy media, focusing on the Washington Post under Jeff Bezos. Kurtz laments the departure of top journalists and the erosion of editorial independence, arguing that podcasts and talk radio now drive the national conversation more than traditional newspapers.

A major segment of the hour anticipates the upcoming Trump-Putin summit, with the hosts predicting that the media will frame any diplomatic progress as capitulation to Russia. Kurtz and Markowicz agree that if Trump can broker a ceasefire in Ukraine, it would be a win for global stability, but expect the press to revive the discredited Russia collusion narrative. The show also breaks news of Melania Trump suing Hunter Biden for $1 billion over defamatory comments linking her to Jeffrey Epstein. The hosts praise Melania’s assertiveness and frame the lawsuit as a bold defense of her reputation.

Markowicz delivers a passionate rebuttal to claims of an Israeli starvation campaign in Gaza, criticizing the New York Times for misleading coverage and defending Israel’s humanitarian efforts. She calls out both left- and right-wing figures who fell for propaganda, labeling them “marks” for anti-Israel disinformation. The hour also includes listener feedback, including a humorous exchange about Clay’s frequent use of the word “fabulous,” and a lighthearted segment on fishing experiences in Alaska and the Gulf Coast.

The episode concludes with a discussion on New York City politics, including Mayor Eric Adams’ handling of crime and the potential impact of local leadership on national Republican messaging. Markowicz warns that Democrats may attempt to mask urban decline ahead of the 2026 midterms, while the hosts reflect on how past mayors like Bill de Blasio inherited safe cities and squandered public trust.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a compelling blend of breaking political news, cultural commentary, and lighthearted sports banter. The hour opens with President Donald Trump speaking from the Oval Office, previewing his upcoming summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. The hosts discuss the geopolitical significance of Alaska, emphasizing its proximity to Russia and its strategic military assets, including missile intercepts and the largest Coast Guard presence in the U.S. Governor Mike Dunleavy joins the show to provide insight into the summit’s logistics, security measures, and the potential for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to join future peace talks. The governor praises Trump’s leadership and expresses optimism that the summit could mark a historic turning point in resolving the war in Ukraine.

The conversation shifts to Trump’s announcement that 275,000 non-citizens have been removed from the Social Security system, coinciding with the program’s 90th anniversary. The hosts highlight concerns about fraudulent claims and outdated records, including individuals listed as over 120 years old. Elon Musk’s commentary on the issue adds a tech-savvy perspective to the discussion. Trump also addresses crime in Washington, D.C., criticizing Democrats for downplaying the crisis and praising recent military-led arrests of repeat offenders. He calls for reform of cashless bail policies and urges bipartisan cooperation to combat urban violence.

In a fiery segment, Trump targets Senator Elizabeth Warren, reiterating his long-standing criticism of her claims to Native American heritage. He accuses Warren of career fraud and endorsing far-left candidates, calling her “mean” and “a nut job.” The hosts echo his sentiments, framing Warren’s influence as detrimental to financial institutions and rural communities.

The hour takes a humorous turn with a spirited debate over Buck Sexton’s claim that he can serve a tennis ball at 100 mph. Professional tennis legends Andy Roddick and John Isner weigh in, casting doubt on the claim and sparking playful banter about technique, athleticism, and tennis attire. Laura Travis, Clay’s wife, joins the conversation via talkback, laying out the terms of the bet and rooting for Buck to defy the odds. The segment draws comparisons to amateur sports challenges and includes reflections on training for the NFL Combine, highlighting the difference between raw power and refined skill.
