Hour 3 - MO Sen. Eric Schmitt

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerhouse discussion on law enforcement, immigration, free speech, and global security. The hour kicks off with Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri, author of The Last Line of Defense: How to Beat the Left in Court, sharing insights on fighting crime and restoring law and order. Schmitt details his successful Safer Streets Initiative, the failures of progressive prosecutors, and why the Trump administration’s renewed focus on U.S. Attorneys is critical for tackling violent crime in cities like St. Louis and Washington, D.C.

The conversation dives into Trump Derangement Syndrome, exposing why Democrats reflexively oppose popular policies such as protecting women’s sports, reducing violent crime, and securing the border. Schmitt also unpacks the weaponization of the DOJ, the unprecedented legal attacks on President Trump, and the censorship-industrial complex that targeted free speech during the pandemic. He calls for Section 230 reform, accountability for social media giants, and legal consequences for bureaucrats who suppress First Amendment rights.

Later in the hour, Buck analyzes Trump’s recent meeting with European leaders and President Zelensky, clarifying U.S. policy on Ukraine. The White House confirms no American boots on the ground, while Trump pushes Europe to take greater responsibility for its own security—strengthening NATO and ending the war through diplomacy.

The discussion then shifts to illegal immigration and sanctuary city policies, featuring Attorney General Pam Bondi’s hardline stance against cities defying federal law. Buck highlights the real-life consequences of lax enforcement, including tragic crimes committed by individuals shielded by sanctuary policies. He argues that restoring law and order is an existential issue for America’s future.

Hour 3 wraps with a passionate defense of law enforcement, a critique of progressive policies undermining public safety, and a call to action for conservatives to stay engaged.
