Discover how a 23-year-old YouTuber, Nick Shirley, exposed the truth that mainstream media refused to touch. His viral investigation—now with over 90 million views—shows empty daycare centers receiving millions in state funds, blacked-out windows, and zero children.

✅ The shocking link between Somali-owned businesses, Democrat politicians, and campaign financing
✅ Why corporate media ignored the story—and how citizen journalism is changing the game

This hour dives into critical political and cultural topics shaping America as we head into 2026. Tudor welcomes James Blair, former Trump 2024 campaign and RNC political director, for an in-depth discussion on the Republican midterm strategy, the impact of President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, and how GOP messaging on affordability and economic recovery is resonating with voters. Blair outlines key policy wins, including eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security, and previews upcoming proposals aimed at restoring prosperity after years of inflation under Democrat leadership. He emphasizes Trump’s role as the party’s leader and “get-out-the-vote machine,” highlighting his recent visits to battleground districts and the importance of contrasting Republican solutions with Democrat failures. The conversation then pivots to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s controversial interviews with mainstream media, raising questions about loyalty, political branding, and the future of the America First movement. Tudor and her co-hosts analyze Greene’s shift away from MAGA messaging and speculate on her motives amid growing rifts within the conservative base. Later, Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) joins to expose a massive fraud scandal in Minnesota, estimated between $9–$11 billion, spanning housing, Medicaid, childcare, and transportation programs under Governor Tim Walz. Stauber calls for accountability, detailing how whistleblowers were silenced and how the Trump administration is deploying federal agencies to investigate and prosecute those responsible. He warns about vulnerabilities in Minnesota’s election laws, including same-day registration and vouching practices, and criticizes policies granting benefits to illegal immigrants. Stauber underscores that Minnesotans—across party lines—are outraged and demand reform. The hour closes on an uplifting note, celebrating America’s Greatest Generation. Tudor shares her recent podcast interview with Irving Locker, a 101-year-old WWII veteran, and honors 104-year-old Staff Sergeant Dominick Critelli, who performed the national anthem at a New York Islanders game. These stories remind listeners of patriotism, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of American heroes.

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, hosted by Tudor Dixon from the WOOD Radio Studios in Grand Rapids, Michigan, dives deep into President Donald Trump’s economic agenda, energy independence, and emerging technology concerns. The program opens with an exclusive interview with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, highlighting the administration’s push to restore American manufacturing, lower energy costs, and boost consumer confidence. Key Economic Topics Covered: Affordability Wins: Gas, energy, and prescription drug prices are down, and interest rates have eased—but consumer confidence remains low. Lutnick outlines strategies to reverse this trend. Energy Policy: The Trump administration is prioritizing lower electricity costs by requiring data centers to contribute 10% of their power to local grids, turning tech infrastructure into a community asset. Reversing Climate Narratives: Lutnick criticizes past Democratic climate policies and explains how Trump’s “Drill Baby Drill” approach will expand oil and gas production, reopen coal plants, and leverage Alaska’s 635 million acres of oil reserves to secure U.S. energy dominance. Interest Rate Reform: Trump is considering replacing Fed Chair Jay Powell by May 2026 to bring rates closer to global norms, aiming to ease housing costs and restore the American dream of homeownership. Economic Growth Forecast: With $18 trillion committed to rebuilding America, GDP growth is projected to hit 5% next year and 6% the following year, driving job creation, higher wages, and tax relief (including no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security). Manufacturing & Jobs: The administration’s plan to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. includes massive investments in advanced manufacturing and semiconductors—up to $700 billion nationwide, with flagship projects like a $20 billion Arizona semiconductor plant employing 3,000 technicians. High-paying technical jobs (starting at $75K and reaching $200K) will not require traditional college degrees, signaling a new era of skilled trades and automation-driven careers. Automotive Industry & Tariffs: Trump’s trade policies mandate automakers to build in America, increasing competition and lowering car prices. Financing incentives, such as tax-deductible car loans, aim to make vehicles more affordable for consumers. Technology & Privacy Concerns: Police Drones Later in Hour 1, Tudor Dixon and Kyle Olson tackle the rise of police drones in states like California, Ohio, and Louisiana. These drones can monitor public spaces, issue tickets, and interact with citizens—raising alarms about privacy rights, potential weaponization, and the expansion of a “police state.” The discussion warns of future risks involving AI, facial recognition, and pre-crime technology, urging listeners to stay vigilant as laws lag behind rapid tech adoption. Welfare Fraud Allegations in Ohio The hour closes with explosive claims of systemic welfare fraud in Ohio, following similar scandals in Minnesota. Attorney and Republican strategist Mehek Cook details allegations involving home healthcare scams, where individuals reportedly earn $70K–$90K annually through fraudulent claims. The conversation highlights: Lack of state audits and enforcement. Billions allegedly funneled back to Somalia. Political implications, including viral videos of elected officials prioritizing Somali interests over U.S. taxpayers. Calls for federal forensic audits, DOJ involvement, and accountability to protect taxpayer dollars. Audience callers express outrage, demanding penalties for states involved and praising citizen journalists for exposing corruption. The segment frames fraud as a national issue tied to immigration loopholes, political exploitation, and economic strain, reinforcing the Trump administration’s commitment to transparency and reform.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show with Tudor Dixon dives into major political and cultural flashpoints shaping America today. Broadcasting alongside Kyle Olson, Dixon opens with breaking news on Nancy Pelosi’s retirement announcement, ending her 39-year tenure in Congress. The discussion explores Pelosi’s legacy, her controversial leadership style, and her infamous State of the Union moment tearing up President Trump’s speech. Dixon and Olson analyze Pelosi’s influence on Democratic Party dynamics, her failure to pass the torch, and the rise of progressive figures like AOC, who now leads polls over Gavin Newsom for the 2028 presidential nomination. They also spotlight the looming battle for Pelosi’s San Francisco seat, featuring candidates like Scott Wiener, and what this means for the future of the Democratic Party. The hour then pivots to explosive revelations about massive welfare fraud scandals in Minnesota, Maine, and Ohio, allegedly involving Somali-run organizations and billions in taxpayer dollars. Tudor introduces investigative reporting by Nick Shirley, exposing fraudulent daycare operations and tracing funds to extremist groups overseas. Guest Steve Robinson, editor-in-chief of The Maine Wire, joins to detail systemic Medicaid fraud, taxpayer-funded political outreach, and how these schemes allegedly bolster Democratic voter operations. The conversation underscores the intersection of immigration policy, election integrity, and government accountability, raising questions about non-citizen voting and the role of state officials in enabling corruption. Listeners also hear breaking news from Ohio linking Somali community leaders to political influence and tax scandals, plus a deep dive into California’s homelessness crisis, where billions are spent without solving root causes like addiction and mental health. Dixon and Olson argue these issues reflect a broader pattern of mismanagement and corruption across blue states. The segment closes with passionate listener calls from Ohio and Georgia, amplifying concerns about assimilation, Medicaid expansion fraud dating back to Obamacare, and the urgent need for reform under President Trump’s administration. Hour 2 delivers hard-hitting analysis on Pelosi’s exit, progressive power struggles, welfare fraud, election security, and cultural battles, making it a must-listen for anyone tracking the future of American politics.
