Buck Brief - Trump Tells the Drug Cartels We Will Kill Them All

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show zeroes in on the escalating political drama in New York City’s mayoral race, featuring progressive candidate Mamdani and his radical proposals. Clay and Buck dissect the recent rally headlined by AOC, who passionately declared, “We are not the crazy ones,” as she defended far-left policies like rent freezes. The hosts explain why freezing rent is economically destructive, citing basic supply-and-demand principles and drawing parallels to Venezuela’s collapse under price controls. They argue that these socialist-style policies will worsen housing shortages and degrade property quality in NYC.   The conversation pivots to a revealing Democratic Party study, reported by Semaphore, showing that left-wing rhetoric has severely damaged the party’s brand. Clay and Buck highlight key findings: 70% of voters believe Democrats are out of touch, prioritizing issues like climate change and LGBTQ+ rights over crime reduction and border security. They note dramatic increases in progressive language—mentions of “environmental justice” up 333% and LGBTQ+ rights up over 1,000%—while traditional values like fatherhood and responsibility have plummeted in party messaging.   From politics to culture, the hosts tackle the erasure of strong father figures in modern media, contrasting today’s portrayals with iconic dads from the ’80s and ’90s like those in The Cosby Show and Family Matters. They argue that while real-life dads are more involved than ever, pop culture increasingly depicts men as absent or incompetent, fueling societal imbalance.   The hour also dives into Democratic leadership speculation. Clay and Buck analyze Kamala Harris’s BBC interview, where she hinted at a 2028 presidential run despite dismal betting odds—ranking behind celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. They review current odds showing Gavin Newsom as the frontrunner, followed by AOC, Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Wes Moore. This sparks a humorous sidebar on AOC’s engagement to Riley Roberts, long engagements, and even prenup debates, with Buck sharing insights from a viral divorce attorney who argues everyone should consider prenups.   Hour 2 closes with a preview of Gavin Newsom’s controversial claims about growing up poor, which Clay and Buck promise to unpack in Hour 3, and a lighthearted call from Mobile, Alabama about sports agent Jimmy Sexton. Packed with sharp political analysis, cultural commentary, and candid relationship advice, this hour blends serious insights with Clay and Buck’s trademark humor.   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts!  ihr.fm/3InlkL8 For the latest updates from Clay and Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts deliver a dynamic and wide-ranging discussion centered on politics, media narratives, and cultural authenticity, with a strong emphasis on California Governor Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump. The hour opens with a sharp critique of Gavin Newsom, whom Clay and Buck describe as the “de facto leader of the Democrat Party.” They dissect Newsom’s attempt to portray himself as a self-made man, highlighting his privileged upbringing, financial backing from billionaire Gordon Getty, and his efforts to rebrand ahead of a likely 2028 presidential run. The hosts mock Newsom’s “rags-to-riches” narrative, including his claims of hardship involving mac and cheese dinners and basketball practice, calling it political posturing designed to appeal to working-class voters. A major theme is Newsom’s strategic “code-switching” and rhetorical shifts depending on audience demographics. The hosts analyze his appearance on the “All the Smoke” podcast, where he frames anti-woke criticism as “anti-Black,” and question whether this messaging will resonate with Black voters in key Democratic primary states. They note California’s relatively small Black population (6%) and compare Newsom’s approach to Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton’s past attempts to connect with Southern voters through accent changes and cultural signaling. The conversation then pivots to President Donald Trump’s controversial yet widely praised initiative to build a new White House ballroom. Clay and Buck defend the project as a long-overdue improvement to the White House’s hosting capabilities, emphasizing its practicality, elegance, and bipartisan utility. They cite support from former Obama and Biden staffers and editorial approval from the Washington Post, framing the ballroom as a legacy gift to future administrations. The hosts ridicule opposition from Democrats like Rep. Eric Swalwell, attributing the backlash to “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” In a lighter segment, the show features listener emails and humorous banter, including a debate over Chick-fil-A biscuits, showering with dogs, and nudity in locker rooms. The hosts also joke about Gavin Newsom adopting a Southern accent on the campaign trail, comparing it to infamous Hollywood portrayals like Keanu Reeves in Devil’s Advocate and Nicolas Cage in Con Air. The hour concludes with commentary on White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s book tour. Her refusal to acknowledge any regrets while serving under President Biden is met with skepticism, and the hosts suggest her identity politics deflection is emblematic of the administration’s broader communication failures.   Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts!  ihr.fm/3InlkL8 For the latest updates from Clay and Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The No Kings protesters are clueless losers who have no idea they’re the ones advocating autocratic rule. President Trump is the furthest thing from a King, a fascist or a threat to democracy. The leftwing lunatics just want to be a part of something and most are seniors re-living their glory days of the 60's. President Trump revealed that an anonymous donor contributed $130 million to cover military pay shortfalls during the ongoing government shutdown. Clay and Buck speculate on the donor’s identity and criticize Democrats for prolonging the shutdown, emphasizing its impact on everyday Americans living paycheck to paycheck. They also mention bipartisan efforts in the Senate to reopen the government.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.

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.
