Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Oct 31 2025

10/31/2025
Buck's Gentle Nudge Buck Sexton encourages voter turnout ahead of the upcoming off-year elections, spotlighting key races in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City. He emphasizes the importance of civic engagement and early voting, particularly in tight contests like the New Jersey gubernatorial race and the NYC mayoral and city council elections. A major focus of the hour is the ongoing government shutdown, which Buck attributes to Democratic leadership, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. He critiques their handling of negotiations and highlights the impact on federal workers, especially air traffic controllers and TSA agents, citing safety concerns and economic stress. Buck argues that Republicans are pushing for a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government, while Democrats are obstructing progress for political leverage. Healthcare policy also comes under scrutiny, with Buck condemning the legacy of Obamacare and current Democratic efforts to expand subsidies and entitlements. He frames these moves as part of a broader welfare state agenda that burdens taxpayers and prioritizes illegal immigrants, particularly in sanctuary cities like New York. Why Elections Matter Guest Karol Markowicz joins to offer insights on NYC politics and cultural shifts, especially from the perspective of Russian Jewish communities in Brooklyn. She discusses the ideological divide between conservative immigrant populations and progressive enclaves like Park Slope and the Upper West Side. The conversation touches on Jewish voter trends, noting a significant shift away from Democratic candidates in recent elections. Kamala, Are You Serious? Clay’s travel nightmare amid widespread airport chaos caused by the ongoing government shutdown, highlighting how air traffic controller shortages and TSA delays are creating nationwide disruptions. This segues into a sharp critique of Democratic leadership, with Buck questioning whether mounting pressure from unions and airline executives will force Democrats to end the standoff. The conversation then shifts to Kamala Harris’s controversial book tour and her attempts to defend the Biden administration’s handling of President Biden’s cognitive decline. Buck dismantles Harris’s argument that Biden was fit to govern but not to campaign, calling it “absurd” and pointing out the administration’s deception about Biden’s mental state. Harris’s excuses for her crushing 2024 election loss to Donald Trump—including claims of “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and the “Elon Musk factor”—are dissected in detail. Buck argues that Harris’s failure reflects a broader rejection of identity politics and DEI-driven promotions, emphasizing that voters now demand competence over optics. Do You Believe? Buck welcomes Miranda Devine, host of Pod Force One, for an in-depth discussion on her recent interview with Vice President JD Vance. Topics include the administration’s stance on Russia-Ukraine peace prospects, the fallout from Zelensky’s Oval Office clash with Trump, and growing speculation about U.S. military operations in Venezuela—raising questions about whether these strikes target drug cartels or signal regime change. Miranda also shares JD Vance’s candid thoughts on UFOs and spiritual forces, his Catholic faith, and personal anecdotes about President Trump’s work ethic and family-friendly demeanor, offering listeners a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the White House.

He outlines the deteriorating state of Venezuela’s military and economy under President Nicolás Maduro, describing the country as a failed narco-state.

Hour 2 - Trump Believes in AMERICA

10/31/2025
In Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts dive deep into the final stretch of the New York City mayoral race, emphasizing the high-stakes showdown between Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani. With Election Day looming, Buck expresses skepticism about a Sliwa upset, citing historical polling data and expert analysis that suggests Mamdani’s lead is likely insurmountable. The conversation critiques Mamdani’s far-left platform, including proposals for government-run grocery stores and state control of private buildings, labeling him a “self-proclaimed socialist” and even a “communist.” The hosts also explore the Florida real estate boom, noting migration trends from New York to South Florida, especially among affluent Northeasterners. This segment ties into broader themes of urban decline, quality of life, and economic mobility, contrasting Mamdani’s optimistic view of NYC’s future with the reality of ongoing outmigration. Political commentary intensifies with criticism of Democratic leadership, particularly Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-era governance, which Buck calls “the worst in America.” The show also features a fiery rebuttal to Senator Alyssa Slotkin’s claims that Donald Trump is embracing authoritarianism. Buck counters by highlighting what he sees as Democratic overreach, including FBI raids, legal attacks on Trump allies, and media-driven narratives. Guest Karol Markowicz joins to offer insights on NYC politics and cultural shifts, especially from the perspective of Russian Jewish communities in Brooklyn. She discusses the ideological divide between conservative immigrant populations and progressive enclaves like Park Slope and the Upper West Side. The conversation touches on Jewish voter trends, noting a significant shift away from Democratic candidates in recent elections. The hour also includes lighter moments, such as listener talkbacks about Halloween candy rankings (with Reese’s Pieces crowned king and Tootsie Rolls dismissed), nostalgic references to 1990s pop culture, and updates on Clay’s travel delays from Chicago’s Midway Airport. Carol shares her family’s Halloween costumes, adding a personal touch to the segment.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Oct 30 2025

10/30/2025
Twelve out of Ten President Donald Trump’s Asia trip, highlighting his high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump rated the summit a “12 out of 10,” touting trade stability, tariff reductions, and agreements on rare earth minerals and agricultural exports like soybeans. The hosts analyze what these developments mean for the U.S.–China relationship, the economy, and the strategic ambiguity surrounding Taiwan. Buck offers insights from his recent visit to Taiwan, raising critical questions about how America might respond if China escalates tensions. Trump-Like Numbers Needed Deep Dive into election analysis and political strategy with guest Ryan Girdusky, host of It’s a Numbers Game. The discussion focuses on three major races: New York City mayoral election, New Jersey governor’s race, and Virginia statewide contests. Girdusky breaks down polling trends, turnout patterns, and demographic shifts shaping these contests. In New York City, Zohran Mamdani holds a strong lead, but Andrew Cuomo’s slim path to victory hinges on older voters and Republican turnout. The conversation explores whether far-left candidates have a ceiling in urban politics and what that means for future progressive ambitions. In New Jersey, Jack Ciattarelli faces an uphill battle against Democrat Mikie Sherrill, with mail-in ballots favoring Democrats and thousands of unreturned Republican ballots looming large. Hispanic voters and Orthodox Jewish communities could be decisive, as Ciattarelli seeks Trump-like gains among nonwhite voters while maintaining strength in suburban areas. Over in Virginia, Republican Jason Miyares leads the attorney general race, while Abigail Spanberger appears poised to win the governor’s race. The hosts analyze how turnout in coal country and Northern Virginia could tip the balance, and why Winsome Sears’ performance in the lieutenant governor contest matters for GOP momentum. Shutdown Realities Updates on the government shutdown, highlighting CNN’s own polling that shows Democrats bearing the brunt of voter blame while Republicans see a boost in approval ratings. Clay and Buck argue this dynamic will force Democrats to seek an off-ramp after next week’s elections. Kamala Harris’s rocky book tour in Australia, where ABC journalist Sarah Ferguson grills her on Biden’s frailties and debate performance. The hosts critique Harris’s evasive answers and reliance on scripted talking points, predicting these vulnerabilities will haunt her in a primary battle against Newsom. IN Lt. Gov Micah Beckwith An in-depth interview with Indiana Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith, who details the state’s urgent push for redistricting to counter Democratic gerrymandering in states like Illinois and California. Beckwith explains the stakes: adding two congressional seats for Republicans, combating complacency in deep-red Indiana, and meeting tight deadlines before candidate filing in January. The discussion underscores how redistricting battles could reshape the 2025 political map.

Hour 1 - Mean Girls

10/30/2025
Hour 1 kicks off with Clay and Buck sharing lighthearted banter about Buck’s new haircut and the skyrocketing cost of home window treatments, before diving into major political and cultural topics dominating the news cycle. The hour centers on President Donald Trump’s Asia trip, highlighting his high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump rated the summit a “12 out of 10,” touting trade stability, tariff reductions, and agreements on rare earth minerals and agricultural exports like soybeans. The hosts analyze what these developments mean for the U.S.–China relationship, the economy, and the strategic ambiguity surrounding Taiwan. Buck offers insights from his recent visit to Taiwan, raising critical questions about how America might respond if China escalates tensions. The conversation shifts to domestic politics with previews of key election polling in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City, plus an upcoming interview with Indiana’s lieutenant governor on redistricting battles. Clay and Buck also touch on cultural flashpoints, including Kamala Harris’s rough book tour in Australia, Gavin Newsom’s misleading claims, and JD Vance’s surprising comments on UFOs. A major segment focuses on Riley Gaines, the former NCAA swimmer and outspoken advocate for women’s sports, who is under attack from progressive voices like AOC and Bravo personality Jennifer Welch. The hosts defend Gaines, dissecting the growing backlash against her stance on fairness in women’s athletics and exploring the broader cultural divide over transgender participation in sports. They argue this controversy reflects the left’s desperation as they lose ground in cultural debates. Clay gives a shout-out to the Radio Hall of Fame induction of Julie Talbott and Colin Cowherd.

The discussion focuses on three major races: New York City mayoral election, New Jersey governor’s race, and Virginia statewide contests. Girdusky breaks down polling trends, turnout patterns, and demographic shifts shaping these contests. In New York City, Zohran Mamdani holds a strong lead, but Andrew Cuomo’s slim path to victory hinges on older voters and Republican turnout.

The hour then pivots to the ongoing government shutdown, now in its 29th day. Clay and Buck highlight mounting consequences: unpaid air traffic controllers, looming SNAP benefit cuts for 42 million Americans, and growing bipartisan frustration. They expose the political calculus behind Democrats’ refusal to compromise before the election and share listener insights on furloughed federal workers receiving full back pay—even if they don’t work during the shutdown. The hosts argue this dynamic fuels public anger and could backfire on Democrats as CNN polling shows voters increasingly blaming them. Additional segments touch on cultural and political trends, including collapsing public concern over climate change, Gavin Newsom’s latest controversies, and JD Vance’s comments on UFOs. Clay and Buck also sprinkle in lighter moments with Halloween costume banter and breaking sports news for Nebraska fans.

Hour 3 - Why Redistricting Matters

10/30/2025
Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a mix of hard-hitting political analysis, cultural commentary, and lighter moments as Halloween approaches. The hour opens with updates on the government shutdown, highlighting CNN’s own polling that shows Democrats bearing the brunt of voter blame while Republicans see a boost in approval ratings. Clay and Buck argue this dynamic will force Democrats to seek an off-ramp after next week’s elections. The conversation then pivots to Gavin Newsom’s credibility crisis, exposing his contradictory statements about Charlie Kirk and his son’s alleged fandom. The hosts play clips showing Newsom first praising Kirk to appear bipartisan, then denying it later—underscoring what they call his pattern of dishonesty and opportunism ahead of a likely Newsom vs. Kamala Harris showdown for the Democratic nomination. Buck and Clay dissect Newsom’s recent claim that Joe Biden was “one of the most successful presidents of the last century”, framing it as a strategic move to court Biden loyalists while positioning himself as the heir apparent. Next, the show spotlights Kamala Harris’s rocky book tour in Australia, where ABC journalist Sarah Ferguson grills her on Biden’s frailties and debate performance. The hosts critique Harris’s evasive answers and reliance on scripted talking points, predicting these vulnerabilities will haunt her in a primary battle against Newsom. Sports and culture collide when Clay and Buck blast ESPN analyst Ryan Clark for politicizing LSU football coverage with attacks on Louisiana’s governor over a proposed Charlie Kirk statue. They argue this reflects the growing politicization of sports media and its disconnect from mainstream America. The hour also features an in-depth interview with Indiana Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith, who details the state’s urgent push for redistricting to counter Democratic gerrymandering in states like Illinois and California. Beckwith explains the stakes: adding two congressional seats for Republicans, combating complacency in deep-red Indiana, and meeting tight deadlines before candidate filing in January. The discussion underscores how redistricting battles could reshape the 2025 political map. Clay and Buck close Hour 3 with lighter fare, debating Halloween candy rankings—crowning Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups as the ultimate treat—while joking about dad taxes, Tootsie Rolls, and underrated Payday bars. They also share personal anecdotes about family Halloween traditions and tease upcoming solo hosting duties and Julie Talbot’s induction into the Radio Hall of Fame.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Oct 29 2025

10/29/2025
Buck's Beloved NYC Clay and Buck scrutinize Mamdani’s past remarks on policing, prisons, and his alignment with anti-Israel rhetoric, drawing connections to broader progressive movements like Occupy Wall Street and BLM. They argue that Mamdani’s narrative is rooted in victimhood politics and toxic identity-based grievance culture, which they believe is emblematic of the far-left wing of the Democratic Party. Andrew Cuomo’s recent media appearance is dissected, where he warns that the radical left could destroy the Democratic Party. Despite Cuomo’s criticisms, the hosts express skepticism about his political competence and campaign strategy, noting his reliance on legacy media while Mamdani leverages modern platforms like TikTok to reach younger voters. Curtis Sliwa's Message Ahigh-energy, politically charged interview with Republican NYC mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, just six days ahead of the pivotal New York City election. This segment centers on Sliwa’s refusal to drop out of the race despite concerns that vote-splitting between him and Andrew Cuomo could hand victory to Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani. Sliwa passionately defends his candidacy, invoking populist themes, his Guardian Angels legacy, and a commitment to fighting crime and corruption in NYC. The hour features Sliwa’s fiery rhetoric against both Cuomo and Mamdani, whom he labels as equally destructive to New York. He blames Cuomo for enabling Mamdani’s rise and criticizes Cuomo’s past policies, including no-cash bail, prison closures, and mismanagement of juvenile crime. Sliwa also reveals he was offered $10 million to drop out of the race—an allegation he calls unethical and potentially criminal. He emphasizes his grassroots campaign, his new “Protect Animals” ballot line, and his belief in democratic choice over billionaire influence. FL Rep. Byron Donalds Ahigh-profile interview with Florida Congressman Byron Donalds, who is actively campaigning to become Florida’s next governor. Donalds discusses his platform, including support for eliminating property taxes on homesteaded properties, maintaining funding for essential services, and continuing the legacy of Governor Ron DeSantis. He emphasizes Florida’s low-tax, law-and-order appeal and warns New Yorkers considering relocation to Florida to respect the values that make the Sunshine State successful. Donalds also weighs in on the national implications of Zohran Mamdani potentially becoming New York City’s mayor, calling him a dangerous Marxist whose policies would be disastrous for NYC and the Democratic Party. He predicts Mamdani would become a national face of the progressive left, alongside figures like AOC and Bernie Sanders, and urges other states to follow Florida’s lead in sound governance. The conversation shifts to college football, with playful banter about Florida State’s recent struggles and speculation on coaching changes at the University of Florida. Donalds diplomatically avoids trash talk, showing his political polish, while Clay and Buck dive into sports picks and betting insights. Climate Change Flip Katie Miller’s viral CNN moment where she criticized DEI hiring practices and Karine Jean-Pierre’s book tour. They argue that identity politics have overtaken meritocracy in the Democratic Party, comparing modern progressive rhetoric to medieval royalty declarations. Clay and Buck dissect the evolution of the Democratic Party platform from 2012 to 2024, noting a dramatic shift away from traditional values like fatherhood and responsibility toward an overwhelming focus on LGBTQ+ rights and land acknowledgments.

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the final stretch of the 2025 off-year election cycle, with a sharp focus on the high-stakes New York City mayoral race. The hosts analyze the political landscape across key battlegrounds including Virginia and New Jersey, but the spotlight remains on NYC, where Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani is leading a controversial campaign. Curtis Sliwa, the Republican contender, is scheduled to join the show in Hour 2 to make his case, while former Governor Andrew Cuomo emerges as a wildcard third-party candidate. The discussion centers on Mamdani’s radical left-wing ideology, past statements, and perceived dishonesty, particularly regarding claims of Islamophobia post-9/11. Clay and Buck scrutinize Mamdani’s past remarks on policing, prisons, and his alignment with anti-Israel rhetoric, drawing connections to broader progressive movements like Occupy Wall Street and BLM. They argue that Mamdani’s narrative is rooted in victimhood politics and toxic identity-based grievance culture, which they believe is emblematic of the far-left wing of the Democratic Party. Andrew Cuomo’s recent media appearance is dissected, where he warns that the radical left could destroy the Democratic Party. Despite Cuomo’s criticisms, the hosts express skepticism about his political competence and campaign strategy, noting his reliance on legacy media while Mamdani leverages modern platforms like TikTok to reach younger voters. The hour also touches on Kamala Harris’s political future, the fallout from Karine Jean-Pierre’s book tour, and the broader implications of leftist ideology on American politics. The hosts emphasize the importance of voter turnout in NYC, predicting a historic surge reminiscent of Rudy Giuliani’s 1993 victory, while expressing concern that Mamdani could win with a plurality despite opposition from both Cuomo and Sliwa. This episode is packed with election analysis, political commentary, and cultural critique, making it a must-listen for conservative audiences tracking the future of urban leadership, socialism in America, and the ideological battle within the Democratic Party.
