Hour 2 - Why the NYC Primary Matters
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.

Hour 3 - Dumb Democrats
Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show opens with a breakdown of the ongoing ceasefire between Israel and Iran, emphasizing President Trump’s pivotal role in brokering peace and preventing escalation. Clay and Buck dismantle media-driven fears of World War III, highlighting how oil prices have dropped to around $65 per barrel and the S&P 500 is near record highs—contradicting predictions of economic collapse. They credit Trump’s strategic leadership and economic policies, including tariffs, for maintaining market stability and national prosperity. The hosts also critique the radical left, particularly New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who advocates for socialist policies and extreme anti-Israel rhetoric. They draw attention to the broader Democratic Party’s internal chaos, spotlighting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s failed attempt to impeach President Trump over the Iran airstrikes. The impeachment vote—defeated 344 to 79, with 128 Democrats voting against it—underscores the disconnect between progressive activists and mainstream Democrats. President Trump’s energy and stamina are praised as he travels to Europe for NATO meetings immediately after intense diplomatic efforts in the Middle East. The show features clips of Trump lambasting CNN and MSNBC for their coverage of the Iran strikes, reinforcing his stance that Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons and may pivot toward becoming a trading nation. The hour wraps with commentary on the Oklahoma City Thunder’s peaceful championship celebration, a call for the team to visit the White House, and reflections on the Biden presidency. The hosts argue that President Biden’s legacy is unraveling, with revelations about his past behavior and leadership failures surfacing even among Democrats.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jun 23 2025
The hosts dive into breaking news about escalating tensions between Iran and the United States following President Trump's ordered strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Buck returns from France to discuss how Trump authorized "Bunker Buster" strikes targeting three main nuclear facilities in Iran over the weekend, causing substantial damage. The hosts examine the partisan response, noting that Democrats like AOC quickly called for Trump's impeachment over the military action, which Clay and Buck find hypocritical given similar actions during previous administrations. The conversation shifts to developing news about Iran's retaliatory missile strikes, with reports of explosions over Doha, Qatar, where U.S. military bases are located. The hosts discuss Iran's announcement of "Operation Baat AFA" targeting American bases, comparing it to Iran's response after the Soleimani assassination when Iran fired approximately 100 missiles at U.S. bases with minimal casualties The hosts praise former President Trump's Saturday night address alongside Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and JD Vance, highlighting Rubio's compelling interview on CBS where he discussed Iran's nuclear ambitions and their deteriorating infrastructure. The conversation also explores how authoritarian regimes like Iran respond primarily to shows of strength rather than diplomatic arguments. Clay and Buck suggest that the Biden administration's perceived weakness, particularly after the Afghanistan withdrawal, emboldened adversaries, contrasting this with Trump's approach to foreign policy. The hosts address some criticism from Republican figures, particularly Marjorie Taylor Greene's claim that the US was entering "World War III," which they characterized as an overreaction to current events in the Middle East.

Hour 2 - Rubio Rising
In Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts provide in-depth analysis of Iran's missile response to recent US military actions. They discuss how Iran's attack appears to have been deliberately telegraphed and minimal, with missiles being shot down without causing significant damage or casualties. Clay and Buck emphasize that this measured response likely stems from Iran's limited military capabilities and fear of further US retaliation. The hosts praise former President Trump's Saturday night address alongside Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and JD Vance, highlighting Rubio's compelling interview on CBS where he discussed Iran's nuclear ambitions and their deteriorating infrastructure. The conversation in Hour 2 also explores how authoritarian regimes like Iran respond primarily to shows of strength rather than diplomatic arguments. Clay and Buck suggest that the Biden administration's perceived weakness, particularly after the Afghanistan withdrawal, emboldened adversaries, contrasting this with Trump's approach to foreign policy. They examine how Iran's quality of life has declined dramatically despite its historical significance, questioning whether these conditions might eventually lead to internal challenges from the Iranian people. The hosts additionally touch on concerning developments in New York City politics, expressing alarm about potential leadership changes and their implications for America's largest city.

Hour 3 - Keep Calm, This is Not World War III
In hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts provided breaking news coverage of Iran's missile attack on a US base in Qatar. They reported that all Iranian missiles were intercepted with no American casualties, suggesting Iran had "effectively thrown in the towel" with what appeared to be a face-saving gesture following the weekend's impressive US B-2 bomber strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The hosts discussed how Iran seems increasingly isolated, with Saudi Arabia and Qatar both condemning the Iranian strikes, contradicting predictions that other nations would oppose US involvement. The conversation shifted to New York City politics, with Buck (a former New York resident who relocated to Florida) and Clay discussing the concerning mayoral situation where Andrew Cuomo might be the "best case scenario" despite his controversial COVID-19 record and resignation over sexual harassment allegations. They examined how high taxes in states like New York, California, and Illinois are driving wealthy taxpayers to more affordable states like Florida, Tennessee, and Texas. The hosts also addressed some criticism from Republican figures, particularly Marjorie Taylor Greene's claim that the US was entering "World War III," which they characterized as an overreaction to current events in the Middle East. The hour concluded with Clay thanking WTCM Newstalk 580, a new affiliate in Traverse City, Michigan.
