Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show features a wide-ranging and dynamic conversation that blends national politics, Florida’s gubernatorial race, cultural commentary, and listener interaction. The hour kicks off with a high-profile interview with Florida Congressman Byron Donalds, who is actively campaigning to become Florida’s next governor. Donalds discusses his platform, including support for eliminating property taxes on homesteaded properties, maintaining funding for essential services, and continuing the legacy of Governor Ron DeSantis. He emphasizes Florida’s low-tax, law-and-order appeal and warns New Yorkers considering relocation to Florida to respect the values that make the Sunshine State successful.

Donalds also weighs in on the national implications of Zohran Mamdani potentially becoming New York City’s mayor, calling him a dangerous Marxist whose policies would be disastrous for NYC and the Democratic Party. He predicts Mamdani would become a national face of the progressive left, alongside figures like AOC and Bernie Sanders, and urges other states to follow Florida’s lead in sound governance.

The conversation shifts to college football, with playful banter about Florida State’s recent struggles and speculation on coaching changes at the University of Florida. Donalds diplomatically avoids trash talk, showing his political polish, while Clay and Buck dive into sports picks and betting insights.

The hosts then pivot to cultural and political commentary, highlighting Katie Miller’s viral CNN moment where she criticized DEI hiring practices and Karine Jean-Pierre’s book tour. They argue that identity politics have overtaken meritocracy in the Democratic Party, comparing modern progressive rhetoric to medieval royalty declarations. Clay and Buck dissect the evolution of the Democratic Party platform from 2012 to 2024, noting a dramatic shift away from traditional values like fatherhood and responsibility toward an overwhelming focus on LGBTQ+ rights and land acknowledgments.

Kamala Harris’s political future is also discussed, with skepticism about her viability in 2028 following a controversial book release and perceived lack of political momentum. The hour closes with listener talkbacks on topics ranging from gas station economics and pronunciation debates to humorous critiques of Clay’s foxhole loyalty and Buck’s French language skills.
