Buck Sexton is no ordinary commentator. He’s the #1 voice in conservative talk radio, co-hosting The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show — the program that took over Rush Limbaugh’s legendary time slot and dominates America’s airwaves every weekday.

But Buck’s credentials run much deeper. As a former CIA officer, he knows firsthand how Washington truly works. His connections aren’t just impressive — they reach all the way to President Trump’s inner circle, the uppermost levels of the White House, and deep into the Cabinet itself.

Recently, Buck was summoned for an exclusive, closed-door meeting at the White House. There, sitting directly across from President Trump and top officials, he uncovered the real strategies — the seismic policy shifts, economic maneuvers, and political power plays — shaping America’s future, your finances, and your freedoms.

This isn’t secondhand gossip. Buck brings you insider intelligence, the facts behind the headlines, and the truth that the D.C. elite don’t want you to hear — all decoded and delivered directly to you.

When Buck Sexton reveals what’s happening behind the scenes, the nation listens. Today, he’s sharing his first unfiltered dispatch for Paradigm’s Money & Power — and, for a limited time, granting you an unprecedented look inside America’s true corridors of power. Here’s Buck…

“You’re the first person without a clearance to see this. The President declassified it five minutes ago.”

That’s what the White House counterterrorism chief said as he pivoted his computer screen toward me.

We were in the West Wing, just down the hall from the Oval Office, with President Trump’s voice booming in the distance.

I had just finished a 30-minute deep dive with the commander-in-chief and Vice President JD Vance…

Now I was watching footage eerily reminiscent of what I had seen myself so many times when I was overseas with the CIA almost two decades ago.

Grainy surveillance video, tracking a vehicle, somewhere in Syria. All I knew was that a senior Islamic State terrorist was in the front passenger seat. Not for long.

I knew a drone strike was coming. But I had never seen one like this before.

Four projectiles, at incredible speed, hit the car in rapid succession, all in the front-right quadrant of the car.

The car came to a stop on the side of the road. Three men exited and ran for their lives. They were unscathed. Remarkable.

In that instant, I knew what I had just witnessed: a “Flying Ginsu” drone strike.

Instead of explosive ordinance, this new type of drone — technically, the R9X Hellfire — fires a high-speed projectile with six-blades that flare out just before impact.

When it hits, it becomes what some call a “ninja bomb.” It gruesomely slices through the target, while leaving those in its immediate vicinity unharmed.

“He’s gone,” the senior White House official said, pointing to what was left of the front passenger area of the car. “Good riddance.”

Conversations with those at the highest levels of the U.S. intelligence apparatus are mostly confidential.

But here is what I can share…

President Donald Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile shield could mark the most transformative moment in defense policy since the Cold War — and possibly be the defining project of his political legacy.

Trump’s “Golden Dome” of Missile Defense

This ambitious fusion of Silicon Valley brilliance and Pentagon firepower signals the rise of a new kind of military-industrial complex — one that’s smarter, faster and constantly innovating.

Companies like SpaceX, Palantir and Anduril aren’t just contributing; they're rewriting the playbook.

Powered by AI, orbital surveillance and real-time interception technology, the Golden Dome would aim to neutralize threats before they even breach the atmosphere.

But this isn’t just about defense. It’s a tectonic shift in global power dynamics.

America is preparing to dominate the skies and the space above. And rivals like China and Russia know it.

The Golden Dome will spark a new “Space Race” moment, a new era of deterrence — and a new definition of American strength.

The Golden Dome isn’t just about preventing North Korea from striking Los Angeles with a nuclear missile.

This is about an alliance between the most powerful technology companies, with the most sophisticated manufacturing capabilities, and the biggest military apparatus in the history of the planet.

It is an AI-based union between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon that will change the world while creating some of the most valuable companies in human history

We are transitioning from the rise of the semiconductor to the era of supercomputing, and President Trump is ushering in a new American technological superiority.

To complete this task requires an all-hands-on deck approach from the top names in the American private sector.

That means there are companies we can buy now which will be involved in creating trillions of dollars of new wealth in the years ahead.

Just like the pursuit of semiconductors in the days after Sputnik’s launch, spin-off technologies will reinvent entire industries which will generate hyper-drive growth.

And the time to invest in these opportunities is now.

All the senior government officials I spoke to just a few weeks ago recognize that this new era of Silicon Valley titans joining with the MAGA mission is the future.

It will change modern warfare and the economy. And it will determine the wealth, safety and destiny of this nation. I’ll have more to share soon…

[Matt Insley here again: President Trump and his team are detonating the status quo, tearing down the old guard and rewriting the rules of power.

That’s why Money & Power doesn’t just inform — it arms you with razor-sharp conviction, unshakable accuracy, and exclusive access to the inner workings of Washington and Wall Street.

With Buck Sexton delivering raw, uncompromising intelligence straight from the corridors of power, you’ll move first, act fast, and own every opportunity before the rest of the world even catches a glimpse.

Get ready: I’ll have more to say about Buck and Money & Power in the coming weeks and you’ll be at the front of the line.]
