Hour 2 - The LA Riots

The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and unfiltered discussion centered on the escalating unrest in Los Angeles, the political fallout, and the national implications of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Broadcasting from Washington, D.C., Clay Travis dives into the aftermath of violent protests in LA, linking them to broader issues of law enforcement, immigration enforcement, and political accountability. The hour opens with a sharp critique of California leadership, particularly Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who are accused of failing to maintain public safety amid riots and arson. Clay highlights the connection between recent LA wildfires and the dangers of unchecked civil unrest, emphasizing the risk of further destruction in a city already vulnerable to fire-related disasters. A major theme of this hour is the growing national support for President Trump’s immigration agenda. Referencing recent CNN polling, Clay underscores how Trump’s approval rating on immigration has surged dramatically, reflecting a shift in public sentiment. The show critiques Democratic leaders for allegedly ignoring the will of the people and failing to enforce federal immigration laws, with Clay arguing that Trump is stepping in where local and state officials have failed. The segment also features audio clips from Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom, both of whom blame the Trump administration for provoking unrest. Clay counters these claims, asserting that Trump is acting to restore order and protect American citizens. He also discusses the constitutional authority of the federal government to override state and local jurisdictions in matters of immigration and public safety. A particularly intense portion of the hour involves Clay’s call for law enforcement to be empowered to use deadly force when under attack, citing videos of LA police officers being assaulted with rocks and Molotov cocktails. He invites police officers and LA residents to call in and share their perspectives, many of whom agree that officers should be allowed to defend themselves with lethal force if necessary. The hour concludes with commentary on the political motivations behind the unrest, suggesting that Democrats may be using chaos to undermine President Trump.
