Hour 3 - The Next Governor of Florida

In Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts dive deeper into the legal and political firestorm surrounding James Comey’s indictment for perjury. Clay and Buck analyze the congressional testimony at the heart of the case, including pointed questioning from Senator Ted Cruz and earlier statements to Senator Chuck Grassley. They break down the challenges prosecutors face in proving Comey knowingly lied under oath about authorizing FBI leaks during the Trump-Russia investigation. The discussion explores the five-year statute of limitations, evidentiary hurdles, and whether the case hinges on insider testimony or circumstantial evidence like email and phone records. Both hosts stress the importance of accountability, noting that Comey aggressively pursued similar charges against Trump allies, and argue that equal justice demands consequences—even if conviction is unlikely due to a favorable judge and jury pool in Northern Virginia.

The conversation then shifts to jury bias, venue reform, and systemic fairness, with Clay proposing that federal defendants should have the right to move cases to their home state to avoid politically skewed juries. Buck underscores the symbolic value of the indictment as a deterrent against future abuses of power within federal agencies.

Later in the hour, the show features an exclusive interview with Congressman Byron Donalds, a leading conservative voice and candidate for Governor of Florida. Donalds shares his personal journey from Democrat to Tea Party activist to U.S. Congressman, emphasizing his commitment to keeping Florida the “Free State.” He outlines his priorities as governor: reducing property taxes, stabilizing the insurance market, attracting manufacturing and tech jobs, and eliminating woke policies in schools. Donalds also addresses the looming government shutdown, blaming Senate Democrats for catering to the radical left, and reaffirms his support for law enforcement and parental rights in education.

The interview takes a personal turn as Donalds reflects on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, praising his legacy in mobilizing young conservatives and defending Judeo-Christian values. The hour closes with lighter moments, including Donalds’ love for sports, his Florida State Seminoles predictions, and Clay and Buck’s banter about NFL picks and the Ryder Cup.
