In Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts dive into breaking political news as President Donald Trump announces a major federal intervention in Washington, D.C. crime policy. Trump invoked Section 740 of the Home Rule Act, placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under federal control and deploying the National Guard to restore law and order. This bold move is framed as a response to the surging violent crime rates in the nation’s capital, which the hosts compare unfavorably to global cities like London, Paris, and Mexico City.
Clay and Buck provide detailed analysis of the 2024 DC murder rate, which reached 27.5 per 100,000 residents, nearly triple that of Mexico City and far higher than cities like Bogotá, Lima, and Havana. They argue that Democratic leadership in DC, including the City Council and Mayor Muriel Bowser, has failed to address public safety, and they highlight the political resistance Trump faces despite the urgency of the crisis.
The hour features a compelling interview with Congressman Jim Jordan, who supports Trump’s actions and discusses the legal and legislative implications of federalizing DC law enforcement. Jordan also touches on sports broadcasting blackouts, the SCORE Act, and efforts to protect college athletics and Olympic sports from over-commercialization and regulatory confusion.
