Hour 3 - Some Hard Truths for Democrats

Trump Keeps Winning The hosts highlight a series of recent wins for the Trump administration, including economic indicators, legislative developments, and media narratives shifting in his favor. WI Senator Ron Johnson's support for the "Big Beautiful Bill" in the U.S. Senate, which aims to address tax policy, border security, and healthcare reform. The bill is positioned as a major legislative victory for Republicans and a critical step toward repealing parts of Obamacare. Economic optimism under President Trump, with the stock market hitting all-time highs, gas prices at a four-year low, and inflation showing signs of retreat. The hosts credit Trump’s tariff strategy and economic leadership for these positive trends. WI Sen. Ron Johnson on Why He Flipped Tariff policy and trade negotiations, particularly with Canada, are discussed in depth. The hosts argue that Trump’s tough stance has led to increased federal revenue without the inflationary impact critics predicted. The 2026 Senate race in North Carolina, where Senator Thom Tillis will not seek re-election. Speculation surrounds a potential run by Laura Trump, which could reshape the GOP primary landscape. Media acknowledgment of Trump’s success, including segments from CNN and other outlets recognizing his growing political strength. Criticism of the Senate parliamentarian and the reconciliation process, especially regarding the exclusion of provisions like removing suppressors from the National Firearms Act. Healthcare reform and Medicaid expansion rollbacks, with Senator Johnson advocating for ending what he describes as a “financing scam” that incentivizes states to expand Medicaid under Obamacare. Cultural commentary, including critiques of progressive figures like Ketanji Brown Jackson and New York City political candidates, as well as a broader discussion on leadership, media bias, and conservative values. Socialism is a Religion The rise of Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, and the potential fallout of his far-left platform on the city’s future. The hosts explore the political dynamics of the NYC mayoral race, including speculation about a possible independent run by Andrew Cuomo and the strategic implications of a crowded field. They scrutinize Mamdani’s controversial rhetoric, including his refusal to condemn inflammatory slogans like “globalize the Intifada,” and raise concerns about the normalization of radical ideologies within the Democratic Party. A major theme of this hour is the economic exodus from high-tax, high-crime cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. The hosts argue that progressive tax policies and soft-on-crime governance are driving billionaires, businesses, and middle-class families to relocate to states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee. They cite examples like Ken Griffin moving Citadel to Miami and emphasize how wealth migration is reshaping America’s economic map. The conversation also tackles the debate over capitalism versus socialism, with Clay and Buck defending capitalism as the engine of American prosperity. They argue that redistributing billionaire wealth won’t solve poverty and highlight how even the poorest Americans enjoy a higher standard of living than much of the world. The hosts warn that anti-capitalist policies threaten economic growth and personal freedom. Mayor Pete PSA Democrats won't be honest about why black male Democrats won't vote for the former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, particularly his standing among Black voters. The hosts argue that Buttigieg’s identity as a gay white man presents significant challenges in securing support from a key Democratic voting bloc. They discuss polling data showing 0% support among Black men and question the Democratic Party’s future leadership, referencing figures like Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, and Wes Moore.    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.

This hour centers on the rise of Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, and the potential fallout of his far-left platform on the city’s future. The hosts explore the political dynamics of the NYC mayoral race, including speculation about a possible independent run by Andrew Cuomo and the strategic implications of a crowded field.

The hosts argue that the media applies double standards when covering hate crimes, especially when they don’t align with the dominant political narrative. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on the future of American cities, the importance of economic freedom, and the cultural shifts influencing where people choose to live and work—all under the leadership of President Donald Trump.    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.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political commentary, cultural critique, and listener engagement, all centered around current President Donald Trump’s leadership and the evolving political landscape. The hour opens with a discussion on the economic improvements under President Trump, highlighting falling gas prices and the broader decline in the cost of living, which the hosts attribute to his administration’s policies. The conversation shifts to a critique of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), focusing on her claims of Bronx roots. Clay and Buck dissect her background, suggesting she grew up in Westchester County, a more affluent area, and accuse her of misrepresenting her upbringing for political gain. This segment ties into broader themes of political authenticity and media narratives. A major portion of the hour is dedicated to the high-profile legal case involving Sean “Diddy” Combs. The hosts analyze the federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, expressing skepticism about the prosecution’s ability to secure a conviction.

The hour also explores the political viability of former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, particularly his standing among Black voters. The hosts argue that Buttigieg’s identity as a gay white man presents significant challenges in securing support from a key Democratic voting bloc. They discuss polling data showing 0% support among Black men and question the Democratic Party’s future leadership, referencing figures like Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, and Wes Moore.

In Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts deliver a high-impact analysis of the escalating Middle East conflict, focusing on President Donald Trump’s decisive military action against Iran. This hour centers on the U.S.-led airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, marking a pivotal moment in global geopolitics and national security. The strikes, which targeted Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, were described as a “spectacular military success,” effectively crippling Iran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities with minimal casualties. The hosts emphasize the strategic precision of the U.S. and Israeli military operations, highlighting the use of B-2 bombers and Tomahawk missiles from nuclear submarines—two components of the U.S. nuclear triad. They praise the Trump administration’s national security team, including figures like Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, JD Vance, and Tulsi Gabbard, for executing a leak-proof and tactically brilliant operation. A major theme throughout the hour is the uncertain Iranian response. As the show progresses, breaking news confirms that Iran launched missiles at U.S. bases in Qatar and Iraq, initiating what they call “Operation Baat Afa.” The hosts analyze the potential for escalation, weighing the risks of retaliatory strikes and the possibility of regime change. They stress that while Iran may attempt to save face with limited military responses, its isolation on the world stage—especially the lack of support from China, Russia, and neighboring Middle Eastern countries—limits its strategic options. The conversation also explores the domestic political fallout, with Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calling for Trump’s impeachment in response to the strikes. The hosts contrast this with past administrations’ military actions, pointing out perceived double standards in media and political reactions. Drawing on personal experience, Buck Sexton offers insight into the dangers of mission creep and the lessons learned from U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both hosts agree that while the strikes were necessary and effective, the U.S. must avoid deeper entanglement or nation-building efforts in Iran. This hour concludes with real-time updates on missile attacks, air defense activations, and President Trump’s presence in the Situation Room, underscoring the urgency and gravity of the unfolding conflict. The hosts reaffirm their support for the troops and stress the importance of continued vigilance as the situation develops.   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.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the political upheaval surrounding the New York City mayoral race, offering sharp analysis and insider commentary on the Democratic primary and its national implications. Clay and Buck are joined by WOR’s Mark Simone, who breaks down the surprising momentum of socialist candidate Momani and the controversial comeback attempt by former Governor Andrew Cuomo. The discussion highlights Cuomo’s problematic legacy, including his role in implementing no-bail laws, closing prisons, and mishandling the COVID-19 nursing home crisis—policies that have driven residents and businesses out of New York in droves. The hosts explore how ranked-choice voting could dramatically influence the outcome, potentially delaying results for days and enabling strategic alliances among candidates. Simone predicts a rare five-way general election featuring Momani, Cuomo, current Mayor Eric Adams, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and another independent. The conversation underscores the broader political stakes, suggesting that New York City’s election could serve as a national barometer for the Democratic Party’s direction in the Trump era. Listeners also hear about the economic and social consequences of a potential Mamdani victory, including threats from major business owners to leave the city. The hour wraps with a broader reflection on the psychological resistance among liberal voters to admit policy failures, and how this mindset perpetuates urban decline in Democrat-led cities. This episode is essential listening for anyone tracking the 2025 political landscape, the resurgence of President Donald Trump, and the future of America’s largest city under the shadow of radical progressive politics.    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.
