Dishonest Dems

They highlight commentary from Steven Miller and Hakeem Jeffries, dissecting the partisan blame game over healthcare costs and the broader implications for the 2026 elections.

If They Could Do This to You...

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the political fallout from the recently ended government shutdown, framing it as a strategic misfire by Democrats. The hosts argue that the shutdown was a cynical attempt to secure election gains and force permanent funding for temporary Obamacare subsidies, originally enacted during the COVID-era American Rescue Plan. They highlight commentary from Steven Miller and Hakeem Jeffries, dissecting the partisan blame game over healthcare costs and the broader implications for the 2026 elections.

The episode features a comprehensive critique of the U.S. healthcare system, emphasizing the broken nature of insurance markets, the inflationary impact of government subsidies, and the lack of consumer choice. Clay and Buck explore how Obamacare has failed to deliver affordability, instead enriching insurance companies and burdening younger Americans. They discuss the economic strain caused by aging demographics and the overuse of medical procedures driven by litigation fears. The hosts also spotlight GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy as potential game-changers in reducing obesity-related healthcare costs, advocating for government subsidies to expand access.

In a media analysis segment, the show examines the timing of renewed Epstein-related stories, suggesting they are a deliberate distraction orchestrated by Democrats and legacy media to shift attention away from the shutdown debacle and smear Donald Trump. Clay and Buck reject the narrative, calling it baseless and politically motivated.
Additional topics include the inefficiencies of medical bureaucracy, the potential for AI to streamline healthcare paperwork, and the need for Republicans—especially Trump—to present clear healthcare reform plans ahead of the midterms. The hour wraps with lighter commentary on the phasing out of the penny, sparking a humorous debate on the future of physical currency and digital tracking.

Johnson reveals how Democrats allegedly prolonged the crisis to secure temporary Obamacare subsidies that benefit higher-income Americans—while leaving working families behind.

Lisa and Senator Johnson also dig into Senate procedures, the filibuster debate, and how political power plays in Washington are threatening economic stability and the American middle class. The Truth with Lisa Boothe is part of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Podcast Network - new episodes debut every Tuesday & Thursday.
