Weekly Review With Clay and Buck - Hour 2 - Socialism is a Religion

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a hard-hitting analysis of the political and economic challenges facing New York City and the broader implications for urban America. 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. 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. In a lighter segment, the duo ranks their top five American cities, praising Nashville, Phoenix, Miami, Salt Lake City, and Houston/Dallas for their livability, economic opportunity, and cultural vibrancy. They also dive into a fun debate over ice cream flavors, with shoutouts to pistachio, cookie dough, and homemade creations. This hour also includes a sobering discussion on antisemitism and media bias, contrasting the limited coverage of a deadly Molotov cocktail attack in Boulder with the extensive reporting on Charlottesville. 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.

Weekly Review With Clay and Buck - Hour 3 - The Art of the Possible

In Hour 3 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, the hosts deliver a dynamic and wide-ranging discussion packed with political analysis, cultural commentary, and listener interaction. The hour opens with breaking news from Capitol Hill, where the Senate passed a major piece of legislation—referred to as the “Big Beautiful Bill”—with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. The bill now heads back to the House, where the Freedom Caucus may voice opposition, but it’s expected to reach President Donald Trump’s desk for signature before the July 4th holiday. A major highlight of the hour is President Trump’s visit to “Alligator Alcatraz” in Ochopee, Florida, a remote airstrip facility intended for detaining and deporting illegal immigrants. Trump’s remarks emphasized deterrence, warning migrants against fleeing into the Everglades. The segment underscores the administration’s tough stance on immigration and sanctuary cities, with speculation that legal challenges may arise from cities defying federal deportation orders. The hosts also explore the evolving Trump-DeSantis alliance, suggesting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis could play a future role in the Trump 2.0 Cabinet. They reflect on the administration’s early successes and the political realities of addressing the national debt, emphasizing the need for economic growth over tax hikes or drastic spending cuts. In a lighter segment, Clay and Buck debate the best movies of the 21st century, referencing a recent New York Times list. Films like The Dark Knight, There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, and The Pianist are discussed, with particular praise for Heath Ledger’s iconic performance as the Joker. The conversation also includes listener favorites and humorous disagreements over ice cream flavors—particularly pistachio—and nostalgic TV shows like Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard. The hour wraps with listener call-ins and talkbacks, including commentary on immigration, political polarization, and pop culture. The hosts preview upcoming guest hosts for the July 4th holiday and encourage listeners to subscribe to the Clay & Buck Podcast Network for continued coverage and entertainment.

The Tudor Dixon Podcast: Power, Scandal, and the Diddy Verdict

In this episode, Tudor and Jaco Booyens, a leading advocate against sex trafficking, discuss the failures of the judicial system in prosecuting high-profile trafficking cases like Diddy’s.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jul 3 2025

Brian Mudd fills in for Clay and Buck, he opens with sharp commentary on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ extended “magic minute” speech, a procedural move delaying the final vote on the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act." Mudd humorously critiques Jeffries’ filibuster-style tactics, drawing comparisons to Cory Booker’s past Senate performance and highlighting the strategic implications for House Republicans.

The show dives deep into the legislative showdown in Congress, emphasizing the GOP’s push to pass President Trump’s signature bill before July 4th. Mudd explores the political theater surrounding the vote, including reactions from figures like AOC and Chuck Schumer, and the broader implications for Trump’s second-term agenda.

The hour transitions into foreign policy, where Mudd and guest Jon Decker, iHeartRadio’s White House correspondent, analyze Trump’s recent NATO summit success, the crippling of Iran’s nuclear program, and new trade deals with the UK and Vietnam. Decker praises Trump’s strategic use of executive power and legislative influence, noting his rapid pace of executive orders and legislative wins compared to his first term. The segment closes with legal analysis of the Diddy trial verdict, where Decker discusses the implications of the not-guilty ruling on major charges, the high bond amount, and the possibility of a presidential pardon.

Mudd speaks with Congressman Jimmy Patronis from Florida, who expresses frustration over House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' record-breaking "magic minute" speech that has delayed the vote. Patronis describes the speech as "a colossal waste of time" and "ridiculous," noting that Jeffries appears to be attempting to break Kevin McCarthy's record for the longest continuous floor speech.

The conversation shifts to the fiscal conservative perspective on the bill, with Mudd questioning Patronis about concerns regarding federal debt and deficit implications. Despite some controversial elements like allowing certain illegal immigrants access to Medicaid, Patronis indicates he will vote in favor of the legislation. 

Brian Mudd gives  listeners a detailed breakdown of how the BBB legislation will financially impact average American families and taxpayers, emphasizing that "the round trip impact of this bill is so much more than the average person begins to understand."
