Hour 1 - Get Ready to VOTE

In this bonus episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz:   Radicalization of the Democratic Party The hosts argue that the Democratic Party has moved from moderate liberalism (e.g., Bill Clinton) to embracing far-left ideologies. They claim that figures like Mamdani, AOC, and Bernie Sanders represent a dangerous shift toward communism and anti-American sentiment. 2. Criticism of Zohran Mamdani Cruz and Ferguson scrutinize Mamdani’s background, including his father’s academic statements and Mamdani’s own comments post-9/11. They interpret Mamdani’s remarks as lacking patriotism and empathy for 9/11 victims. They highlight Mamdani’s association with controversial figures, including Imam Siraj Wahaj, whom they label as a jihadist. 3. Media and Political Hypocrisy The podcast mocks media outrage over President Trump building a ballroom at the White House while allegedly ignoring more serious issues like Mamdani’s political rise. They accuse Democrats of failing to police their own party and enabling extremism. 4. Gavin Newsom and Elite Hypocrisy Newsom is portrayed as a privileged elitist pretending to be a man of the people. His political persona is compared to Mamdani’s, with both accused of promoting Marxist policies under a polished public image. 5. Bill Maher’s Critique Bill Maher is cited as a liberal voice warning Democrats about the dangers of embracing far-left candidates like Mamdani. His comments are used to support the podcast’s argument that even mainstream liberals are alarmed by the party’s direction.

Get Ready to VOTE Election Day 2025. The hour kicks off with a discussion on the upcoming elections in New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey, emphasizing the stakes and voter turnout trends. Clay shares a personal anecdote about voting locally and previews an interview with Riley Gaines, who recently faced backlash from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over her stance on protecting women’s sports. The conversation quickly pivots to the New York City mayoral race, spotlighting controversial candidate Zohran Mamdani. Clay and Buck dissect Mamdani’s shifting narratives, including his disputed claims about Islamophobia post-9/11 and radical past statements such as “Defund the NYPD” and linking police to the IDF. They analyze why voters seem unfazed by these revelations and criticize Andrew Cuomo’s lackluster campaign strategy. The hosts warn that Mamdani’s progressive platform—featuring ideas like government-run grocery stores and fare-free buses—reflects a dangerous trend toward socialist policies that could devastate city infrastructure and small businesses. The "White Men Are Evil" Argument Clay and Buck discuss Zohran Mamdani, the leading candidate for New York City mayor, and dissect his radical platform and controversial family background. They highlight statements made by Mamdani’s father, a Columbia University professor, who accused the United States of inspiring Nazi genocide through its treatment of Native Americans. Clay and Buck push back hard, offering a detailed historical rebuttal that includes references to colonial history, tribal warfare, and global conquest, arguing that the left’s narrative is rooted in anti-American sentiment and historical ignorance. The conversation expands to critique the broader Democratic leadership, including figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Gavin Newsom, warning that the “New York City liberal” and “California liberal” brands are becoming toxic in middle America. They praise more moderate Democratic mayors like Daniel Lurie in San Francisco and Muriel Bowser in Washington, D.C., for showing signs of pragmatism, especially in working with President Trump on crime reduction and urban policy. Trump '28 Unity Ticket? record-breaking highs in the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and NASDAQ, crediting President Trump’s economic policies for the surge. He contrasts this with media narratives from earlier in the year that predicted economic collapse, emphasizing the disconnect between Wall Street performance and lingering ground-level effects from the Biden-era economy. The hosts then pivot to Trump’s Asia tour, highlighting his meetings with leaders in Japan, South Korea, and potentially North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. Trump’s comments aboard Air Force One spark speculation about a JD Vance–Marco Rubio unity ticket for 2028, with Clay and Buck debating the plausibility of Trump stepping aside while endorsing his successors. A major segment features Trump’s challenge to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, mocking their intelligence and inviting them to take cognitive tests. Crockett fires back, accusing Trump of elitism and racial obsession, prompting Clay and Buck to critique the intellectual caliber of current congressional representatives across party lines. Riley Gaines vs. AOC  Riley Gaines discusses her recent clash with AOC over women’s sports. Gaines shares her experience as a new mom, pushing back against cultural narratives that discourage young women from motherhood.

In Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay and Buck dive into the hottest political and cultural stories shaping America just one week before Election Day 2025. The hour kicks off with a discussion on the upcoming elections in New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey, emphasizing the stakes and voter turnout trends. Clay shares a personal anecdote about voting locally and previews an interview with Riley Gaines, who recently faced backlash from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over her stance on protecting women’s sports. The conversation quickly pivots to the New York City mayoral race, spotlighting controversial candidate Zohran Mamdani. Clay and Buck dissect Mamdani’s shifting narratives, including his disputed claims about Islamophobia post-9/11 and radical past statements such as “Defund the NYPD” and linking police to the IDF. They analyze why voters seem unfazed by these revelations and criticize Andrew Cuomo’s lackluster campaign strategy. The hosts warn that Mamdani’s progressive platform—featuring ideas like government-run grocery stores and fare-free buses—reflects a dangerous trend toward socialist policies that could devastate city infrastructure and small businesses. Beyond politics, the hour touches on national security and the war on drugs, reporting on U.S. military strikes against fentanyl-laden cartel boats in the Pacific. Clay and Buck frame this as a major escalation in America’s fight against drug trafficking. They also break down the ongoing government shutdown, explaining how Senate Democrats have blocked multiple GOP bills to reopen the government, potentially leveraging the crisis to boost turnout in key gubernatorial races. The hosts highlight looming consequences, including funding lapses for SNAP benefits and the broader debate over food stamps, obesity, and fraud in welfare programs. Adding cultural flavor, Clay and Buck revisit Michelle Obama’s “food desert” initiatives, exposing why past government efforts to change eating habits failed. They argue that free-market principles outperform central planning, especially in industries like grocery retail with razor-thin margins. The hour closes with lighter moments—Clay’s commitment to wear a red beret if Curtis Sliwa wins, Buck joking about a doggy-paddle contest with Riley Gaines, and a quick nod to the World Series, where the Dodgers lead Toronto after a dramatic Freddie Freeman home run. This first hour delivers sharp analysis on election integrity, progressive politics, crime and policing, economic policy, and cultural battles, making it a must-listen for anyone tracking the future of New York City and America’s political landscape.

In Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay and Buck deliver a fiery breakdown of the political and cultural chaos unfolding across America, with a sharp focus on New York politics, identity politics, and historical revisionism. The hour opens with commentary on Governor Kathy Hochul’s awkward attempt to downplay chants of “Tax the Rich” at a progressive rally, which Clay and Buck frame as emblematic of the Democratic Party’s shift from race-based to class-based neo-Marxist rhetoric. The hosts then turn their attention to Zohran Mamdani, the leading candidate for New York City mayor, and dissect his radical platform and controversial family background. They highlight statements made by Mamdani’s father, a Columbia University professor, who accused the United States of inspiring Nazi genocide through its treatment of Native Americans. Clay and Buck push back hard, offering a detailed historical rebuttal that includes references to colonial history, tribal warfare, and global conquest, arguing that the left’s narrative is rooted in anti-American sentiment and historical ignorance. The conversation expands to critique the broader Democratic leadership, including figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Gavin Newsom, warning that the “New York City liberal” and “California liberal” brands are becoming toxic in middle America. They praise more moderate Democratic mayors like Daniel Lurie in San Francisco and Muriel Bowser in Washington, D.C., for showing signs of pragmatism, especially in working with President Trump on crime reduction and urban policy. Clay and Buck also analyze Joe Biden’s recent speech, where he claimed the country is in its worst state in 50 years. They counter this narrative by citing record stock market highs, low unemployment, and Trump’s successful foreign diplomacy, including trade talks with China. The hosts argue that Biden’s legacy is defined by inflation, cognitive decline, and failed leadership, drawing parallels to the Jimmy Carter era. A major segment is devoted to the fallout from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report, which questioned Biden’s mental fitness. The hosts criticize White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for her dismissive response and highlight the media’s shifting tone as journalists begin to confront the administration’s failures. The hour wraps with listener talkbacks, including shoutouts to Texas, Florida, and Tennessee as top red-state destinations with no state income tax. Clay admits to owing Sean Hannity hundreds of dollars in unpaid sports bets and shares a humorous anecdote about rooftop nudity and his wife’s reaction to nearby construction workers.

In Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Clay and Buck deliver a dynamic mix of political analysis, cultural commentary, and personal anecdotes, with a spotlight on the booming Trump economy, escalating border security measures, and the intensifying clash over women’s sports and identity politics. The hour opens with Clay celebrating record-breaking highs in the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and NASDAQ, crediting President Trump’s economic policies for the surge. He contrasts this with media narratives from earlier in the year that predicted economic collapse, emphasizing the disconnect between Wall Street performance and lingering ground-level effects from the Biden-era economy. The hosts then pivot to Trump’s Asia tour, highlighting his meetings with leaders in Japan, South Korea, and potentially North Korea’s Kim Jong-un.

A major segment features Trump’s challenge to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, mocking their intelligence and inviting them to take cognitive tests. Crockett fires back, accusing Trump of elitism and racial obsession, prompting Clay and Buck to critique the intellectual caliber of current congressional representatives across party lines. The conversation shifts to fentanyl trafficking, with praise for the Trump administration’s aggressive military response to drug boats in international waters. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defends the policy, arguing that lethal force is justified against cartels poisoning Americans with counterfeit pills. Clay and Buck applaud the administration’s elite communicators, including Rubio and JD Vance, for articulating complex issues with clarity. The hour also features an in-depth interview with Riley Gaines, who discusses her recent clash with AOC over women’s sports. Gaines shares her experience as a new mom, pushing back against cultural narratives that discourage young women from motherhood. She also responds to AOC’s dismissive comments about her athletic achievements, defending her fifth-place NCAA ranking and criticizing the left’s hypocrisy on women’s sports and fairness. The segment ends with lighthearted banter about Clay’s upcoming Alcatraz swim challenge, Buck’s quest to hit a 100 mph tennis serve, and listener feedback from Michigan and Georgia. Riley humorously bets that Buck’s serve is more likely than Clay completing the swim, while Clay jokes about shark fears and training laps.
