Clay's Beret Bet
Clay and Buck preview Wednesday’s interview with Curtis Sliwa, who will make his case against progressive frontrunner Mamdani, a candidate backed by AOC and Bernie Sanders. The hosts debate whether Mamdani’s far-left agenda—highlighted by proposals like free public buses and aggressive “tax the rich” policies—could devastate New York City’s economy and quality of life. Clay predicts a decisive loss for Sliwa, even joking about wearing a red beret for a week if proven wrong. Callers from New York weigh in, sharing firsthand accounts of high voter enthusiasm for Sliwa and skepticism about polling accuracy.
The Crazy Ones
The escalating political drama in New York City’s mayoral race, featuring progressive candidate Mamdani and his radical proposals. Clay and Buck dissect the recent rally headlined by AOC, who passionately declared, “We are not the crazy ones,” as she defended far-left policies like rent freezes. The hosts explain why freezing rent is economically destructive, citing basic supply-and-demand principles and drawing parallels to Venezuela’s collapse under price controls. They argue that these socialist-style policies will worsen housing shortages and degrade property quality in NYC.
Kamala '28?
Democratic leadership speculation. Clay and Buck analyze Kamala Harris’s BBC interview, where she hinted at a 2028 presidential run despite dismal betting odds—ranking behind celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. They review current odds showing Gavin Newsom as the frontrunner, followed by AOC, Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Wes Moore. This sparks a humorous sidebar on AOC’s engagement to Riley Roberts, long engagements, and even prenup debates, with Buck sharing insights from a viral divorce attorney who argues everyone should consider prenups.
