Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H1 - Does Curtis Want Zohran to Win?

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a fast-paced and provocative breakdown of the latest political developments, cultural flashpoints, and election drama across the country. Broadcasting live from Fort Wayne, Indiana, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of affiliate station WOWO, Clay and Buck dive into the most pressing stories shaping America’s political landscape.

With President Donald Trump currently in office, the hosts analyze the chaotic state of the New York City mayoral race, spotlighting Curtis Sliwa’s refusal to drop out despite pressure from political elites and billionaires. They explore the implications of Sliwa’s candidacy on Andrew Cuomo’s chances and the rise of progressive candidate “Mom Donny,” whom they label a “communist.” Trump’s own commentary on the race is featured, emphasizing the national stakes and the potential fallout for the Democratic Party.

The show also covers Virginia’s gubernatorial race, focusing on Democrat Abigail Spanberger’s controversial stance on transgender issues in schools, particularly the debate over biological males participating in girls’ sports. Clay and Buck criticize her evasive responses and highlight the broader cultural battle over gender identity, school safety, and parental rights. They argue that Democrats are doubling down on radical policies, risking backlash from suburban voters.

Listeners are introduced to Sam Ponder, a former ESPN host and mother, who shares her firsthand experience with gender politics in youth sports, sparking a passionate discussion on fairness, biology, and the consequences of “toxic empathy.” The hosts frame this as a defining issue for the 2026 midterms and beyond.

In addition, the hour touches on a Maine Senate primary scandal, where a Democratic candidate faces backlash over a Nazi tattoo, raising questions about vetting and accountability within the party. The hosts also discuss AI-driven stock market trends and the economic optimism under the Trump administration, tying in Clay’s recent trip to Taiwan and his new financial newsletter, “Money and Power.”

Throughout Hour 1, Clay and Buck engage with callers from New York and across the country, debating the strategic implications of Sliwa’s candidacy, Cuomo’s viability, and the future of urban leadership. The segment ends with a call to action for voters in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, just 12 days ahead of election day.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H2 - JD and the MAGA Movement

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the evolving political landscape as President Donald Trump continues to shape the future of the Republican Party. The hosts analyze key gubernatorial races in New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey, emphasizing their strategic importance ahead of the midterm elections. With Democrats threatening to obstruct Trump’s agenda if they gain control of the House, the conversation highlights the stakes for conservative voters and the broader MAGA movement.

A major focus of this hour is the rise of Vice President JD Vance, portrayed as a disciplined, intelligent, and family-oriented conservative leader. Vance’s background—from a troubled upbringing to Yale Law School and the Marine Corps—is framed as the embodiment of the American Dream, making him a compelling successor to Trump. The hosts defend Vance against media attacks, including criticisms from Jen Psaki and others who question his charisma (“Riz”) and unfairly target his wife, Usha Vance. They argue that Vance’s biracial family and values resonate with everyday Americans, especially parents concerned about cultural shifts revealed during COVID-era remote learning.

The show also explores Ron DeSantis’s political trajectory, praising his leadership in Florida while noting how media narratives shifted once he was seen as a potential rival to Trump. The hosts discuss the ideological realignment within both parties, noting how many 1990s Democrats would now be considered Republicans due to the left’s embrace of identity politics and progressive agendas.

Speculation intensifies around the 2028 presidential race, with predictions that Trump will act as kingmaker, potentially backing Vice President JD Vance with Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a running mate. On the Democratic side, Kamala Harris’s viability is questioned, with Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez floated as likely contenders. The hosts critique Harris’s campaign spending—allegedly $1.5 billion over 107 days—and her attempt to distance herself from Biden’s perceived failures.

Additional commentary includes criticism of Andrew Cuomo’s refusal to appear on the show, theories about Biden’s DOJ targeting political opponents like Eric Adams, and reflections on regional differences in mask-wearing and travel friendliness. The hour concludes with endorsements for Winsome Sears and Jason Miyares in Virginia, and a call for voters to stay engaged as the midterms approach.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H3 - FL Lieutenant Gov. Jay Collins

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a politically charged and culturally provocative segment, recorded live from Fort Wayne, Indiana, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of their affiliate station. This hour dives deep into the 2026 election cycle, with a sharp focus on battleground states like Texas and Maine, and features commentary on controversial Democratic candidates, identity politics, and the evolving media landscape—all under the leadership of current President Donald Trump.

The show opens with analysis of upcoming elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City, setting the stage for broader discussions about the 2026 primaries. Maine’s Senate race takes center stage as hosts dissect the candidacy of Democrat Graham Plattner, a far-left former Marine embroiled in scandal over a Nazi SS tattoo. His opponent, Governor Janet Mills, is also scrutinized for her past clash with President Trump over transgender athletes in girls’ sports. The hosts question whether Nazi affiliations are politically disqualifying for Democrats, sparking debate on the left’s shifting ideological boundaries.

Clay and Buck expand the conversation to critique the collapse of the Obama-era identity politics coalition, highlighting President Trump’s unexpected gains among Hispanic voters in 2024. They argue that Democrats’ demographic strategies have backfired, and that overuse of terms like “fascist” and “Nazi” has desensitized the public. Antifa is called out for embodying fascist traits, and the left is accused of lacking irony and accountability.

Texas enters the spotlight with speculation around Jasmine Crockett’s potential Senate run. The hosts predict she could win the Democratic nomination but lose the general election, citing her rise to fame through provocative statements. This segues into a broader media strategy discussion, where Clay and Buck advise aspiring podcasters to gain attention by saying outrageous things—satirically suggesting claims like Abraham Lincoln being a chameleon alien.

Florida’s governance is praised through an interview with Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, who outlines a bold plan to eliminate property taxes on homesteaded properties via ballot initiative. He emphasizes fiscal responsibility, alternative funding methods, and the importance of voter engagement. Collins also hints at a possible gubernatorial run following Governor Ron DeSantis’s term limit, calling DeSantis the greatest governor in Florida—and possibly U.S.—history.

The hour also features endorsements for Cozy Earth sheets and Rapid Radios, along with a heartfelt promotion for Preborn clinics, which have saved over 67,000 babies in 2025 through free ultrasounds and support for pregnant women. The segment closes with listener feedback, humorous banter about Gavin Newsom’s appearance, and reflections on New York City’s political future.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Oct 24 2025

Reasons for Optimism

Clay and Buck celebrate record highs in the stock market, crediting President Trump’s economic policies and noting that inflation came in lower than expected, fueling optimism. They highlight falling interest rates, predictions of multiple Federal Reserve rate cuts, and a four-year low in gas prices, framing these trends as signs of a strong Trump economy. The discussion also touches on mortgage rates hitting yearly lows, boosting confidence for homeowners and investors.

The conversation shifts to lifestyle and seasonal topics, with Clay ranking October as the best month of the year thanks to sports like the World Series, football, and fall festivities. Buck counters with his love for January in Florida, sparking a lighthearted debate about weather, vacations, and Halloween traditions—including Clay’s neighborhood “parent treats” and costume plans.

Dumbest Take

Clay and Buck tackle a headline-grabbing sports scandal involving NBA legend Chauncey Billups, alleged mafia ties, and rigged high-stakes poker games. They dissect Stephen A. Smith’s controversial comments linking the FBI investigation to Trump, then play FBI Director Cash Patel’s fiery rebuttal dismissing those claims. Clay and Buck explore the broader implications of organized crime infiltrating poker circles, referencing pop culture hits like Rounders, 21, and Molly’s Game.

TX Rep. Chip Roy Calls out Corruption 

The ongoing government shutdown, skyrocketing Obamacare premiums, and his push for healthcare reform through expanded Health Savings Accounts and direct primary care. Roy also champions bipartisan legislation to ban congressional stock trading, citing widespread public support and the need to eliminate conflicts of interest. He then previews his campaign for Texas Attorney General, emphasizing battles against fentanyl trafficking, Soros-backed prosecutors, and radical Islamist networks allegedly targeting Texas communities.

Experience Matters

Letitia James pleading not guilty to mortgage fraud charges, sparking debate over the weaponization of the justice system and accountability for public officials. Clay and Buck question her rhetoric and emphasize the need for equal application of the law.  Next, the conversation shifts to New York City’s mayoral race, where Hakeem Jeffries officially endorses Zohran Mamdani, the far-left candidate who defeated Andrew Cuomo in the primary. Clay and Buck analyze the implications of Mamdani’s progressive housing policies, arguing that rent control and heavy regulation will worsen affordability and drive high-income earners—and tax revenue—out of the city. They contrast this with Florida’s market-driven approach to housing and governance, highlighting why states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are attracting wealth and residents.

From there, the show pivots to breaking political news: President Trump revealed that an anonymous donor contributed $130 million to cover military pay shortfalls during the ongoing government shutdown.

Hour 2 - TX Rep. Chip Roy Calls out Corruption 

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into major national issues, political debates, and cultural flashpoints. The segment opens with breaking news on a kinetic strike targeting a fentanyl-laden vessel linked to Venezuela, underscoring the administration’s aggressive stance against drug trafficking. The hosts also discuss the White House renovation project, praising its security benefits and functionality for hosting events.

The conversation shifts to urban crime and political accountability, spotlighting San Francisco’s mayor Daniel Lurie for cooperating with President Trump on crime reduction efforts—a stark contrast to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who faced tough questioning from Bret Baier over Chicago’s soaring murder rate. Clay and Buck dissect crime statistics, noting that violent crime disproportionately affects Black and Hispanic communities, and argue that Trump’s surge-in-resources approach could become a national model. They propose a bold 2028 Republican platform: cut U.S. murders by half through federal intervention and tougher enforcement on repeat offenders.

Next, the hosts highlight Bernie Sanders’ surprising admission that Trump “did a better job” securing the border, framing it as proof that strong immigration policies work. This segues into a discussion with Congressman Chip Roy, who addresses the ongoing government shutdown, skyrocketing Obamacare premiums, and his push for healthcare reform through expanded Health Savings Accounts and direct primary care. Roy also champions bipartisan legislation to ban congressional stock trading, citing widespread public support and the need to eliminate conflicts of interest. He then previews his campaign for Texas Attorney General, emphasizing battles against fentanyl trafficking, Soros-backed prosecutors, and radical Islamist networks allegedly targeting Texas communities.

The hour closes with lighter fare: college football talk, including Texas Longhorns’ struggles and Aggies’ prospects, plus Clay’s NFL PrizePicks betting strategy featuring quarterbacks Jackson Dart, Caleb Williams, Mac Jones, and CJ Stroud. Finally, the hosts revisit the NBA poker scandal, correcting misconceptions about poker terminology like “gutshot straight draw” and speculating that more high-profile players, including Kevin Garnett, may be implicated in mafia-linked games.

Hour 3 - Experience Matters

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show closes out the week with a mix of breaking political news, economic analysis, and cultural commentary. The hour begins with updates on Letitia James pleading not guilty to mortgage fraud charges, sparking debate over the weaponization of the justice system and accountability for public officials. The hosts question her rhetoric and emphasize the need for equal application of the law.

Next, the conversation shifts to New York City’s mayoral race, where Hakeem Jeffries officially endorses Zohran Mamdani, the far-left candidate who defeated Andrew Cuomo in the primary. Clay and Buck analyze the implications of Mamdani’s progressive housing policies, arguing that rent control and heavy regulation will worsen affordability and drive high-income earners—and tax revenue—out of the city. They contrast this with Florida’s market-driven approach to housing and governance, highlighting why states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are attracting wealth and residents.

Listeners weigh in on whether Curtis Sliwa should stay in the race, invoking sports analogies like the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” hockey upset to argue for fighting against long odds. Betting markets show Momani as a 93% favorite, with Cuomo at 5% and Sliwa at 0.5%, making for spirited discussion about political strategy and grassroots determination.

The hour then pivots to job market challenges and AI disruption, sparked by a caller from Utah who shares her struggles finding work. Clay and Buck explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping employment, disproportionately impacting white-collar jobs such as law, consulting, and HR, while leaving blue-collar roles relatively secure. They predict AI will transform industries faster than most expect, potentially making traditional jobs optional within decades. The hosts also reflect on societal shifts toward wealth versus status, human fulfillment, and the resurgence of faith in an era of technological abundance.

Additional topics include U.S. military strikes on cartel drug boats in the Caribbean, Elon Musk’s prediction of a jobless future, and practical advice for job seekers to network beyond online applications. The segment wraps with lighter fare: Clay’s NFL PrizePicks betting picks, listener debates over the greatest songs of the 1980s—with favorites like “Africa” by Toto, “Eye of the Tiger,” “Danger Zone,” and “Don’t Stop Believin’”—and Buck’s promise to hit 100 mph on the tennis court radar gun.
