The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show 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.
