Hour 3 - FL Lieutenant Gov. Jay Collins

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a politically charged and culturally provocative segment, recorded live from Fort Wayne, Indiana, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of their affiliate station. This hour dives deep into the 2026 election cycle, with a sharp focus on battleground states like Texas and Maine, and features commentary on controversial Democratic candidates, identity politics, and the evolving media landscape—all under the leadership of current President Donald Trump. The show opens with analysis of upcoming elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City, setting the stage for broader discussions about the 2026 primaries. Maine’s Senate race takes center stage as hosts dissect the candidacy of Democrat Graham Plattner, a far-left former Marine embroiled in scandal over a Nazi SS tattoo. His opponent, Governor Janet Mills, is also scrutinized for her past clash with President Trump over transgender athletes in girls’ sports. The hosts question whether Nazi affiliations are politically disqualifying for Democrats, sparking debate on the left’s shifting ideological boundaries. Clay and Buck expand the conversation to critique the collapse of the Obama-era identity politics coalition, highlighting President Trump’s unexpected gains among Hispanic voters in 2024. They argue that Democrats’ demographic strategies have backfired, and that overuse of terms like “fascist” and “Nazi” has desensitized the public. Antifa is called out for embodying fascist traits, and the left is accused of lacking irony and accountability. Texas enters the spotlight with speculation around Jasmine Crockett’s potential Senate run. The hosts predict she could win the Democratic nomination but lose the general election, citing her rise to fame through provocative statements. This segues into a broader media strategy discussion, where Clay and Buck advise aspiring podcasters to gain attention by saying outrageous things—satirically suggesting claims like Abraham Lincoln being a chameleon alien. Florida’s governance is praised through an interview with Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, who outlines a bold plan to eliminate property taxes on homesteaded properties via ballot initiative. He emphasizes fiscal responsibility, alternative funding methods, and the importance of voter engagement. Collins also hints at a possible gubernatorial run following Governor Ron DeSantis’s term limit, calling DeSantis the greatest governor in Florida—and possibly U.S.—history. The hour also features endorsements for Cozy Earth sheets and Rapid Radios, along with a heartfelt promotion for Preborn clinics, which have saved over 67,000 babies in 2025 through free ultrasounds and support for pregnant women. The segment closes with listener feedback, humorous banter about Gavin Newsom’s appearance, and reflections on New York City’s political future.
