Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful blend of political analysis, veteran tributes, and cultural commentary, anchored by a compelling interview with Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer. This Veterans Day edition continues the show’s patriotic theme, spotlighting Meyer’s heroic actions in Afghanistan during the Battle of Ganjgal, where he repeatedly risked his life to rescue fellow Marines under heavy enemy fire. Meyer reflects on the mission, the loss of his team, and the importance of honoring the sacrifices made by service members.

The hour also dives deep into the political fallout from the recent government shutdown. Clay and Buck dissect the Democratic Party’s internal divisions, highlighting the backlash against eight Senate Democrats—including Dick Durbin, Tim Kaine, and John Fetterman—who voted with Republicans to reopen the government. The hosts mock media figures like Don Lemon and Sonny Hostin for their outrage over the perceived capitulation, framing the shutdown resolution as a win for President Donald Trump and a sign of Democratic disarray.

A standout moment features a fiery exchange between Sonny Hostin and Senator John Fetterman on The View, where Fetterman defends his pragmatic stance on reopening the government. Clay and Buck praise Fetterman as a rare voice of sanity within the Democratic Party, contrasting him with the “AOC-Mamdani wing,” which they criticize as ideologically extreme. They argue that Fetterman’s moderate approach reflects the political reality of representing a purple state like Pennsylvania and call for more rational Democrats willing to prioritize governance over partisanship.

In the latter part of the hour, Dakota Meyer returns to discuss broader issues affecting veterans, including the need for evolving support systems that reflect the realities of today’s service members. He emphasizes the importance of fulfilling promises to Afghan allies while expressing frustration over the lack of resistance from Afghan forces during the U.S. withdrawal. Meyer also shares his views on masculinity, gender roles, and the cultural shift in America, advocating for strong male leadership and the protection of women’s rights. He criticizes the politicization of science and the erosion of objective truth, citing examples like Neil deGrasse Tyson’s comments on gender differences.

The hour also includes a fascinating listener call from a man whose father was reportedly driving the car during General George Patton’s fatal accident, offering a firsthand rebuttal to conspiracy theories surrounding Patton’s death. This leads into a teaser for an upcoming conversation with Bill O’Reilly about the topic.
