Fight, Fight, Fight Clay and Buck react to Zohran Mamdani’s recent mayoral win and its implications for the state’s political future. They spotlight Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s announcement that she’s running for governor of New York, positioning her as a strong Republican alternative to incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul. The hosts argue that Hochul’s leadership has contributed to rising crime, unaffordable living conditions, and failed bail reform policies—making Stefanik’s candidacy a potential turning point for the Empire State. National politics also take center stage, with Donald Trump’s blunt remarks on Nancy Pelosi’s retirement drawing praise from the hosts. They frame Pelosi’s departure as symbolic of a broader shift in power and discuss how Trump’s continued influence is reshaping the political landscape.

Clay shares his travel woes amid widespread airline cancellations, receiving support from fans including Southwest and JetBlue pilots offering standby tickets. This sparks a broader conversation about the show’s loyal audience and the challenges of navigating travel during government disruptions. The hosts take calls from listeners grading Trump’s first 10 months in office. Opinions range from a C-minus to an A-plus, with debates over Trump’s handling of the economy, border security, and crime. Buck and Clay defend Trump’s record, citing historic declines in violent crime in cities like Memphis and Washington, D.C., and emphasizing his success in securing the southern border. They argue that inflation and high prices are lingering effects of Biden-era economic mismanagement, not failures of Trump’s current administration. The conversation shifts to the role of artificial intelligence in boosting productivity and long-term economic growth. Buck shares insights from his visit to Taiwan’s TSMC and predicts that AI will transform daily life and improve quality of living, despite current frustrations over inflation and affordability.

Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show wraps up the week with a fiery mix of political analysis, cultural commentary, and listener interaction. The central theme of the hour is the ongoing government shutdown, which the hosts firmly attribute to Democratic obstruction. They argue that Democrats are attempting to renegotiate previously agreed-upon funding terms, causing widespread disruption across federal services, especially in air travel and healthcare. Donald Trump’s response to the shutdown is highlighted, with the former president refusing to allocate trillions in taxpayer dollars to cover healthcare for illegal immigrants. Trump also touts improvements in gas prices and inflation under Republican leadership, contrasting them with the economic chaos of the Biden years. Buck emphasizes that while affordability remains a concern, the country is moving in a better direction thanks to Trump’s policies. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy joins the conversation, defending his department’s decisions amid flight cancellations and staffing shortages. He urges critics to focus on reopening the government rather than blaming the FAA for safety-driven decisions. The hosts also discuss the broader implications of the shutdown, including delayed SNAP benefits and judicial overreach, with Vice President JD Vance criticizing a federal judge’s ruling that mandates executive action during the shutdown. The Affordable Care Act comes under fire as Buck argues that Obamacare has made health insurance so expensive that many Americans now opt out entirely. He calls for transparency in government welfare programs and criticizes the euphemistic language used to describe food assistance, advocating for a return to plain terms like “food stamps.” Listener calls and VIP emails add depth to the discussion, with federal employees urging Republicans to “hold the line” and praising Trump’s leadership. One caller rebukes a previous listener who gave Trump an “F” grade, citing improvements in gas prices and economic stability. On a lighter note, Buck celebrates his 103 mph tennis serve, earning praise from friends and colleagues, including Ben Ferguson and Chris Knowles. Clay is challenged to complete an Alcatraz swim as his own physical feat.

Air Traffic Out-of-Control A deep dive into the aftermath of the recent elections, highlighting Republican challenges in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City. Clay and Buck analyze what these results mean for the GOP moving forward and stress that Donald Trump remains President, with Republicans holding majorities in Congress. They discuss the booming economy alongside persistent inflation and affordability issues, noting how Biden-era price hikes continue to impact Americans. A major focus of this hour is the ongoing government shutdown and its ripple effects on air travel. The hosts break down Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s announcement of a 10% reduction in flight capacity across 40 major markets, citing outdated air traffic control systems and staffing shortages. They emphasize the critical role of air traffic controllers and warn of growing public frustration as travel disruptions mount. Reagan's Warning Updates on the FAA’s plan to cut air traffic by 10% at 40 major airports amid the ongoing government shutdown, with reports that the Trump administration may impose an additional 4% reduction in flights. Clay and Buck warn that these disruptions could peak during Thanksgiving travel, historically one of the busiest travel periods, and predict that mounting frustration among travelers may pressure Washington to resolve the shutdown quickly. The discussion then pivots to cultural commentary, including a nostalgic look at Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, highlighting how its humor and themes would never pass today’s Hollywood standards. From there, the hosts analyze the New York City mayoral election, focusing on Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech, which starkly contrasts Ronald Reagan’s famous warning about government overreach. Mamdani’s pledge that “no problem is too large for government to solve” sparks debate about progressive governance and its impact on New York’s budget, especially given that 1% of residents pay 50% of city taxes. Buck predicts that Mamdani’s policies will accelerate financial strain and potentially drive out high earners. Nonsensical Women Katie Miller, host of the Katie Miller Podcast, joins Clay and Buck for a candid conversation about the New York City mayoral election, progressive politics, and cultural contradictions. Katie critiques Gen Z voters and liberal women for supporting candidates who oppose their stated ideals, such as women’s rights, while embracing policies like open borders that lead to rising crime. She warns that America is trending toward the UK’s failed immigration model and calls out the hypocrisy of progressive movements like “Trans Rights for Gaza.” The discussion shifts to gender politics and women’s sports, spotlighting a shocking story from the National Women’s Soccer League, where a player was vilified for saying women’s soccer should be for women. Katie argues that liberal white women are undermining women’s rights to virtue signal, while magazines like Glamour glorify biological men as women. The hosts also touch on cultural flashpoints, including Sidney Sweeney’s refusal to apologize for a controversial ad, and debate why society shames traditional femininity while celebrating woke narratives. Katie then addresses the broader cultural battle: encouraging young women to value motherhood and family as much as careers. She argues that Republicans fail to promote the importance of raising children and building strong marriages, noting that societal praise for workplace success overshadows the critical role of stay-at-home moms. Her message: being a mom is a “civilization-building” career that deserves equal respect. The conversation turns political with outrage over Virginia electing Jay Jones as Attorney General, despite his violent rhetoric wishing harm on political opponents. Katie calls this a dangerous sign of partisanship eclipsing basic decency, warning that Republicans face growing hostility in blue states. What Do YOU Think? Clay and Buck then pivot to breaking news on the government shutdown’s impact on air travel, sharing Clay’s email from Delta about flight reductions at 40 major airports and United’s preemptive cancellations. They urge listeners to prepare for holiday travel chaos as staffing shortages hit air traffic control. Economic concerns dominate the latter half of the hour. A podcast listener challenges Trump to focus on fixing inflation rather than blaming Democrats. Clay and Buck explain why inflation is “embedded” and compare today’s struggles to the Reagan era post-Carter. They predict economic recovery by mid-2026 but stress that prices won’t return to 2019 levels. The hosts also explore structural challenges for younger generations, including skyrocketing housing costs, student debt, and diminishing value of college degrees. They play remarks from Palantir CEO Alex Karp, who notes that skilled trades now outpace Ivy League degrees in economic value—a trend accelerated by AI and automation.

They emphasize the critical role of air traffic controllers and warn of growing public frustration as travel disruptions mount. The conversation shifts to Trump’s push to end the Senate filibuster, with audio of Trump urging Republicans to eliminate it to advance “common sense” policies. Clay and Buck debate the long-term consequences, including potential Democratic moves like granting statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., or expanding the Supreme Court. They argue that while ending the filibuster could offer short-term wins, it risks permanent structural changes favoring Democrats. Election analysis continues with a look at turnout problems for Republicans in off-year races. The hosts note that 600,000 Trump voters failed to show up in Virginia and New Jersey, exploring why GOP enthusiasm dips outside presidential contests. Clay uses a sports analogy to explain how Trump mobilizes voters for “big games” like presidential elections, while Democrats maintain consistent turnout for every race. They also discuss cultural dynamics around Trump’s movement compared to past GOP candidates. Adding a lighter moment, the hour features a quirky listener love connection sparked by a viral comment about repealing the 19th Amendment. Allison from Los Angeles and V from Raleigh exchange messages, blending humor with political commentary on women’s voting rights and the filibuster.

Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into breaking news and sharp political analysis. The hour opens with updates on the FAA’s plan to cut air traffic by 10% at 40 major airports amid the ongoing government shutdown, with reports that the Trump administration may impose an additional 4% reduction in flights. Clay and Buck warn that these disruptions could peak during Thanksgiving travel, historically one of the busiest travel periods, and predict that mounting frustration among travelers may pressure Washington to resolve the shutdown quickly. The discussion then pivots to cultural commentary, including a nostalgic look at Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, highlighting how its humor and themes would never pass today’s Hollywood standards. From there, the hosts analyze the New York City mayoral election, focusing on Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech, which starkly contrasts Ronald Reagan’s famous warning about government overreach. Mamdani’s pledge that “no problem is too large for government to solve” sparks debate about progressive governance and its impact on New York’s budget, especially given that 1% of residents pay 50% of city taxes. Buck predicts that Mamdani’s policies will accelerate financial strain and potentially drive out high earners. The hour also examines Mamdani’s framing of his win as a battle against Donald Trump, with rhetoric about “terrifying a despot” and dismantling conditions that enabled Trump’s rise. Clay and Buck argue this narrative is fantasy and note the pattern of progressive mayors failing in major cities like Portland, San Francisco, and Chicago. They also spotlight Chuck Schumer’s evasiveness when asked about his vote and speculate on AOC’s future presidential ambitions, suggesting she represents the Democratic Party’s radical vanguard. Listeners join the conversation with calls and talkbacks, including sharp critiques of the GOP’s inability to deliver on promises compared to Trump’s record, and a viral thread on repealing the 19th Amendment that continues to stir debate. The hosts stress that these sentiments are listener-driven, not their own, while joking about potential headlines misrepresenting their stance. Political commentary intensifies with reactions to Sonny Hostin’s remarks on The View, where she advocates for Democrats to “go lower” in redistricting battles, signaling an aggressive strategy for future elections. Clay and Buck dissect the hypocrisy of Democrats condemning GOP tactics while embracing similar moves themselves. Bernie Sanders also weighs in, blaming Republicans for rising healthcare costs, which the hosts counter by pointing to Obamacare’s failures. Senator Ted Cruz calls the election results a “disaster,” labeling Mamdani a “full-on communist,” while Clay and Buck caution against overstating the significance of off-year losses, emphasizing Trump’s historic win in 2024 as the defining political moment. Hour 2 blends shutdown fallout, progressive policy critiques, election analysis, and cultural flashpoints, making it essential listening for anyone tracking conservative perspectives on current events and the future of American politics.

About Last Night Clay and Buck break down the major political headlines following a pivotal election night. The discussion opens with Zohran Mamdani’s historic win in New York City, where he captured just over 50% of the vote in one of the city’s highest-turnout elections in decades.

They highlight demographic trends, including Mamdani’s overwhelming support among Black voters and strong backing from millennials, Hispanics, and Asians. The conversation then shifts to Democratic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, emphasizing the GOP’s turnout problem. Clay points out that 600,000 Trump voters stayed home in these states compared to the 2024 presidential election, raising alarms for 2026 and 2028. Buck underscores that while these were tough races in blue-leaning states, Republicans must address enthusiasm gaps when Trump isn’t on the ballot. From Nazi to King? Clay and Buck dive deeper into the fallout from the latest election results in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City, analyzing what the outcomes reveal about voter behavior and party strategies. They emphasize that while the night wasn’t catastrophic for Republicans, it exposed a critical weakness: Trump voters don’t turn out when Trump isn’t on the ballot. They cite data showing 600,000 fewer GOP voters in Virginia and New Jersey compared to 2024, underscoring the challenge for Republicans heading into the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential race. The hosts dissect Democratic messaging, noting how slogans like “No Kings” and anti-Trump rhetoric continue to energize the left, even in off-year elections. They argue that Democrats successfully frame elections as a referendum on Trump rather than policy, mobilizing their base with emotional appeals rather than substantive governance plans. Clay and Buck contrast this with Republican struggles to motivate turnout, stressing the need for a strategy that extends beyond Trump’s personal magnetism. Let That Sink In The Virginia Attorney General race, where Democrat Jay Jones won despite leaked texts revealing he wished death on political opponents’ children and vowed to piss on their graves. The hosts express outrage that nearly half of voters dismissed these comments as non-disqualifying, calling the result a troubling sign of partisan loyalty overriding basic standards of decency. They warn that this reflects a broader cultural shift where Democrats prioritize party allegiance over character, even for top law enforcement positions. Clay and Buck also touch on healthcare costs and the broken insurance system, criticizing Obamacare and the Supreme Court decision that enabled taxing inactivity. They highlight skyrocketing premiums and lack of transparency as systemic failures, while briefly mentioning Trump’s ongoing legal battles over tariff authority. Professor Clay Nerds Out Examining California’s Proposition 50, which could give Democrats 4–5 new congressional seats through redistricting, offsetting GOP gains in Texas. Clay and Buck argue that Republicans must focus on swing districts Trump won by less than five points and invest heavily in mobilization strategies to maintain control of Congress.A major legal topic dominates the latter half: the Supreme Court review of Trump’s tariff authority. The hosts explain that Trump relied on a 1970s emergency statute to impose tariffs, citing crises like fentanyl and trade deficits. If the Court rules against him, it could invalidate hundreds of billions in tariff revenue and spark a constitutional showdown over separation of powers. Clay and Buck explore historical context, noting tariffs were America’s original revenue source before the income tax, and debate whether refunds would be required if the tariffs are struck down. The discussion expands into tax policy and government overreach, with fiery commentary on property taxes, Social Security’s sustainability, and the welfare state. Listeners call in with sharp takes, including a historical breakdown of tariffs and a controversial claim about women’s voting rights that sparks a lively close to the show. Clay and Buck end by emphasizing how hate-driven politics and envy-based messaging dominate Democratic strategy, while Republicans must counter with economic solutions and cultural engagement.

In Hour 1, Clay and Buck break down the major political headlines following a pivotal election night. The discussion opens with Zohran Mamdani’s historic win in New York City, where he captured just over 50% of the vote in one of the city’s highest-turnout elections in decades. The hosts analyze why Mamdani’s campaign resonated, citing his energy, entertainment factor, and ability to mobilize younger voters and recent arrivals to the city. They highlight demographic trends, including Mamdani’s overwhelming support among Black voters and strong backing from millennials, Hispanics, and Asians. The conversation then shifts to Democratic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, emphasizing the GOP’s turnout problem. Clay points out that 600,000 Trump voters stayed home in these states compared to the 2024 presidential election, raising alarms for 2026 and 2028. Buck underscores that while these were tough races in blue-leaning states, Republicans must address enthusiasm gaps when Trump isn’t on the ballot. Economic concerns dominate the analysis, with both hosts stressing that inflation, cost of living, and healthcare remain the top issues for voters nationwide. They argue that Democrats successfully framed the election around cultural and class warfare, while Republicans need sharper messaging on kitchen-table economics. The hour also dives into immigration and cultural shifts in urban politics, warning that rapid demographic changes and lack of assimilation are reshaping cities like New York. Clay and Buck compare today’s dynamics to early 20th-century socialist movements and call for a national conversation on immigration policy. Listeners weigh in with calls from Houston, Charleston, and Staten Island, sharing reactions and relocation plans to red states like Florida and Texas. The hosts note a surge in interest for real estate in these states following the election results. Gender voting patterns also come under scrutiny, with women identified as a decisive factor in Democratic wins. Finally, Clay and Buck reflect on Trump’s surprise endorsement of Andrew Cuomo, the future of the MAGA movement, and whether Mamdani’s tenure will disappoint progressive voters. They predict that despite campaign promises, New York City’s new mayor will likely triple down on redistribution and regulation, worsening economic challenges.

Buck, poor choice of words, Trump is really enjoying this shutdown.

Hitler didn't call his followers "Nazis" nor "Fascists" (Hitler called them SOCIALISTS). Sexton is so ignorant he is unaware that Hitler's flag symbol meant "S for SOCIALIST" (a top discovery by Professor Rex Curry). Buck Sexton is ignorant of Hitler's vocabulary as shown 9-30-2025 in his radio show (usually with Clay Travis) regarding teachers wearing paperclips in Norway. Hitler's flag is an IQ test. Sexton flunked. For proof just “describe the letters (and words) shown in the German symbols used for the groups NSV, SA, SS & VW" (Sexton flunks the description test and thereby shows he knows Dr. Curry is correct). Review Sexton's past podcasts & see that he has NEVER said, "Hitler did not call his followers 'Nazis' nor 'Fascists'." Stop misgendering Hitler, Sexton. Respect Hitler's preferred pronoun (SOCIALIST).

Kirk’s recent assassination exposed how Americans are so stupid they are unaware that Hitler did not call his followers "Nazis" nor "Fascists" (he called them "SOCIALISTS"). Hitler's flag meant "S for SOCIALIST" (a top discovery by Historian Dr. Rex Curry). Republicans repeat the linguistic lies of socialists. You won't hear any Republicans say "Hitler self-identified the same as Kirk’s assassin and the scum who applauded Kirk's killer: SOCIALIST" nor “Hitler did not call his comrades Nazis nor Fascists”
