Summary
<p>Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show opens with a deep dive into the state of the U.S. economy under President Trump, highlighting record stock market highs, strong trade deals, and the positive momentum of the administration’s first six months. The hosts emphasize the impact of tax cuts and anticipate further economic growth if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates. They also discuss Trump’s overseas meetings, including with the British Prime Minister, as part of his ongoing foreign policy efforts.</p> <p>The conversation shifts to national security and public safety, with Clay and Buck asserting that the U.S. southern border is more secure than ever. They cite a dramatic drop in violent crime across major cities, referencing reports from outlets like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. A key segment focuses on a mass stabbing incident in Traverse City, Michigan, where a former Marine named Derrick Perry heroically intervened with a legally carried firearm. This leads to a broader discussion on the role of armed citizens in deterring violence and the philosophical divide between conservatives and liberals on gun rights.</p> <p>Clay and Buck argue that opposition to firearms is rooted more in cultural and political ideology than in crime statistics. They criticize the media for downplaying the effectiveness of lawful gun ownership and highlight the importance of empowering law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and others. The hosts also connect the decline in crime to the Trump administration’s support for law enforcement and stricter immigration enforcement, including the deportation of hundreds of illegal immigrants convicted of murder.</p> <p>The hour then pivots to cultural commentary, focusing on the backlash against “woke” advertising. The hosts praise American Eagle’s decision to feature actress Sydney Sweeney in a new campaign, calling it a return to aspirational marketing and a rejection of body positivity campaigns that promote unhealthy lifestyles. They argue that brands are shifting away from politically correct messaging because it failed to resonate with consumers. This segment includes a critique of the media’s labeling of traditional beauty standards as “Nazi propaganda,” which Clay and Buck dismiss as absurd.</p> <p>In a broader cultural context, the hosts discuss the growing emphasis on health and fitness among younger generations. They note a decline in smoking and binge drinking, while expressing concern over the increased use of high-potency marijuana. They argue that marijuana legalization has led to unintended consequences, including public health risks and a thriving black market. The conversation also touches on the importance of teaching young people to take risks, pursue physical fitness, and engage with the world beyond their screens.</p> <p>Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! <a href="http://ihr.fm/3InlkL8">ihr.fm/3InlkL8</a></p> <p> </p> <p>For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.clayandbuck.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249239931219%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=eECesiWyOO3YOybB4HVSIOqFBQ6FQ83xp%2FJ%2FhPDAKfM%3D&reserved=0">https://www.clayandbuck.com/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton: </p> <p>X - <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fclayandbuck&data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249239960597%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=WdpyZ8Gzbhog1ml43mVvOghWqLGt0rZcdfa%2FPC3pkYY%3D&reserved=0">https://x.com/clayandbuck</a></p> <p>FB - <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FClayandBuck%2F&data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249239980082%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Nqqk%2FXJNrFqQd%2BUdWMs5Xw7DxzwpMExmpDda7Y9fNNY%3D&reserved=0">https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/</a></p> <p>IG - <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fclayandbuck%2F&data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249239998376%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=s%2F3CGsjjib9Gu8mBlf5ff31%2Fixq4YP17xzT17hhpJCc%3D&reserved=0">https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/</a></p> <p>YouTube - <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fc%2Fclayandbuck&data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249240017198%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=hoGZ3pur0U5mQzw7AMhVbUTvt98j6iiA3uSdRyW8ilE%3D&reserved=0">https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck</a></p> <p>Rumble - <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frumble.com%2Fc%2FClayandBuck&data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249240034483%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=b2TrFHYPxraFqTGFla%2BJ7HG5kQ5p006bXVNPXSsFvAw%3D&reserved=0">https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck</a></p> <p>TikTok - <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck">https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuck</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck" rel="payment">Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
