Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton!  If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too.

 

Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

 

PC Pres Corps

 

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into the explosive fallout from a leaked intelligence report questioning the effectiveness of a recent U.S. military strike on Teran. Hosts Clay and Buck, alongside commentary from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, launch a full-throated defense of the mission and President Donald Trump’s leadership, while sharply criticizing the mainstream media for what they describe as politically motivated reporting.

 

The hour opens with a breakdown of the CNN and New York Times leaks, which suggested the strike may have failed. Buck Sexton, drawing on his intelligence background, explains the complexities of identifying leakers and the dangers of politicizing classified information. The hosts argue that the leak was a deliberate attempt by the “deep state” to undermine President Trump’s credibility and military success.

 

Pete Hegseth’s fiery Pentagon press conference is a focal point, where he accuses the press corps of rooting against Trump and downplaying the bravery and precision of U.S. pilots. The segment includes a viral moment where Hegseth is questioned for not explicitly acknowledging female pilots, prompting a broader discussion on gender politics in the military and media. A former female military pilot calls in to express support for Hegseth, dismissing the controversy as media-driven nitpicking.

 

Why What Happens in NY Matters Everywhere

 

the political upheaval surrounding New York City's mayoral race, highlighting the rise of Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani. Clay and Buck analyze the implications of Mamdani's nomination, emphasizing how his progressive platform—backed by figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders—signals a broader shift within the Democratic Party. They explore the national ramifications of this political momentum, warning that what happens in New York could soon influence Democrat-led cities across the country.

 

The hosts critique Mamdani's proposals, including an 800% increase in funding for hate crime prevention and his assertion that the criminal justice system is inherently racist. They argue these initiatives are more about left-wing indoctrination than effective governance. The conversation also touches on Mamdani's savvy use of social media and his appeal to younger voters, many of whom are financially supported by their parents and drawn to socialism despite benefiting from capitalism.

 

Local Story with National Reach

 

Eric Adams, the current NYC mayor, is portrayed as a potential moderate counterweight, possibly running as an independent. The show discusses the strategic challenges Adams faces, especially if former Governor Andrew Cuomo enters the race, potentially splitting the anti-Mamdani vote. The hosts also examine the fractured state of the Democratic Party, debating whether it can still suppress far-left candidates or if it will continue to “double down on crazy.”

 

President Donald Trump is referenced as a stabilizing force, particularly in contrast to the chaos the hosts associate with progressive policies. They highlight the effectiveness of Trump-era immigration enforcement, with praise for figures like Tom Homan and Stephen Miller, and criticize sanctuary city policies that undermine

🗳️ NYC Mayoral Race & Reaction

• The document opens with former President Donald Trump reacting to the victory of a candidate named Mondani in the New York City mayoral primary.
• Trump and others describe Mondani as a “communist lunatic” and a symbol of the Democratic Party's alleged shift toward Marxism and socialism.
• The commentary criticizes Mondani’s platform, which includes:
  • Free public transit and housing
  • Rent freezes
  • City-run grocery stores
  • $30 minimum wage
  • Higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations
  • Universal childcare and trans health support

---

🧠 Ideological Critique

• The narrative argues that the Democratic Party has fundamentally changed, claiming it has been overtaken by far-left ideologies.
• It accuses Democrats of importing new voters through immigration to shift political power.
• The commentary includes inflammatory language and conspiracy-like claims about the party's intentions and the consequences for New York City and the country.

---

📊 Campaign Strategy & Voter Sentiment

• Mondani is portrayed as having run a savvy, social-media-driven campaign that resonated with younger, debt-burdened voters.
• He is quoted discussing the cost of living crisis and the need to listen to voters rather than lecture them.
• His campaign is framed as a response to economic hardship and a desire to make NYC more affordable.

---

🖊️ Biden Autopen Controversy

• The latter part of the document shifts to a separate issue involving Neera Tanden, a former Biden aide.
• It discusses her congressional testimony about the use of autopen signatures for official documents.
• The document suggests a lack of transparency and accountability in the Biden administration, implying that unauthorized signatures may have been used.

Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

 

President Dad

 

The latest developments in global politics, with a strong focus on President Donald Trump’s leadership in brokering a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. The hosts analyze the fragile -- but currently holding -- ceasefire, emphasizing Trump’s diplomatic strategy and his frustration with both nations’ initial violations. They liken his tone to that of a fed-up father trying to keep peace among unruly children, highlighting his relatable, no-nonsense communication style.

 

The discussion underscores the significant military and strategic setback suffered by Iran, with Israel’s precision strikes dismantling key elements of Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure. The hosts argue that this outcome not only showcases Israel’s military superiority but also sends a powerful message to the Iranian regime and its people about the futility of continued aggression. They explore the psychological and political impact on ordinary Iranians, questioning whether the public will begin to challenge the legitimacy of their leadership in light of these failures.

 

President Trump’s broader Middle East policy is praised for its emphasis on economic cooperation and regional stability, particularly through initiatives like the Abraham Accords. The hosts credit Trump’s business-first approach with fostering stronger ties between Israel and several Arab nations, contrasting this with Iran’s stagnation under hardline clerical rule.

 

The Country is Doing Great

 

 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.

 

Mark Simone on Why the NYC Primary Matters

 

Clay and Buck's 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.  WOR’s Mark Simone joins the program and 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 Mamdani, 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.
