Hour 2 - They're Crazy, Guys

<p>Hour 2 of The Clay Travis &amp; Buck Sexton Show continues the deep dive into the national reaction following President Donald Trump&rsquo;s State of the Union address, emphasizing how Trump&rsquo;s economic, border, and crime policies have reshaped American life in his first year back in office. Clay highlights the booming economy&mdash;strong GDP growth, falling inflation, four‑year‑low mortgage rates, and surging stock markets&mdash;underscoring the show&rsquo;s message that Trump&rsquo;s leadership has revitalized key sectors of American prosperity. Buck adds that crime has hit historic lows, reinforcing the program&rsquo;s recurring theme that Trump&rsquo;s policies have delivered unprecedented public‑safety gains.</p> <p>A major segment of Hour 2 examines the media‑driven controversy surrounding the U.S. Men&rsquo;s Olympic Hockey Team after their White House visit celebrating their historic gold‑medal win. Clay and Buck break down the outrage over Trump&rsquo;s locker‑room joke&mdash;explaining that the joke was aimed at mocking critics who accuse him of sexism, not at insulting the U.S. Women&rsquo;s Team. They emphasize how the media intentionally distorted the exchange in order to generate a false narrative, comparing it to past political hoaxes that were pushed into public consciousness. The hosts argue this controversy reveals a broader cultural war in which expressions of patriotism are increasingly targeted by left‑wing activists and commentators.</p> <p>The conversation expands into how sports teams traditionally visited the White House under presidents of both parties, with the hosts pointing out the drastic change in media reactions over the past decade. They contrast past norms&mdash;where declining a White House visit was considered disrespectful&mdash;with today&rsquo;s environment where simply accepting an invitation is enough to trigger online outrage. Clay frames this as evidence that the political left has embraced open hostility toward American traditions, national pride, and institutions.</p> <p>Another major focus of the hour is the Democratic response to the State of the Union, including commentary on prominent Democratic figures who delivered rebuttals. Clay and Buck argue that Democrats campaign as moderates but govern from the far‑left, using reminders from the Biden era as examples. They emphasize that Trump&rsquo;s optimistic, patriotic message stands in contrast to what they describe as the Democrats&rsquo; negativity and refusal to acknowledge national successes.</p> <p>The hour then shifts to a heated discussion of New York City&rsquo;s snowball assault incident, where groups of individuals hurled ice chunks at NYPD officers. Clay and Buck strongly condemn the attacks and criticize New York City leadership for downplaying the incident as a &ldquo;snowball fight.&rdquo; They argue that the city&rsquo;s rising permissiveness toward criminal behavior&mdash;paired with decisions to defund planned police positions&mdash;signals a dangerous return to lawlessness. The hosts warn that soft‑on‑crime policies will inevitably reverse recent nationwide safety improvements.</p> <p>Interspersed throughout Hour 2 are calls from listeners reacting to Trump&rsquo;s State of the Union. Callers praise Trump&rsquo;s strong performance, express disbelief at Democratic lawmakers&rsquo; hostility during the speech, and share firsthand examples of improving affordability, such as falling food prices. Clay and Buck highlight these personal stories as further evidence of the positive day‑to‑day effects of Trump‑era policy decisions.</p> <p><br />The hour concludes with discussion of the behavior of Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib during the State of the Union, with the hosts noting their visible anger, inflammatory messages, and ongoing ethics concerns. They argue that such conduct reflects the broader ideological extremism dominating the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.</p> <p>Overall, Hour 2 blends cultural commentary, political analysis, and audience reactions &mdash; focusing on themes like media dishonesty, patriotism under attack, White House traditions, crime policy, and the national meaning of Trump&rsquo;s State of the Union. It serves as a continuation of the show&rsquo;s overarching narrative that Trump&rsquo;s policies are delivering measurable improvements while the political left escalates cultural and political confrontation.</p> <p>Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis &amp; Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts!&nbsp;<a href="http://ihr.fm/3InlkL8">ihr.fm/3InlkL8</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For the latest updates from Clay &amp; Buck, visit our website <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.clayandbuck.com%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249239931219%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=eECesiWyOO3YOybB4HVSIOqFBQ6FQ83xp%2FJ%2FhPDAKfM%3D&amp;reserved=0">https://www.clayandbuck.com/</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:&nbsp;</p> <p>X - <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fclayandbuck&amp;data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249239960597%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=WdpyZ8Gzbhog1ml43mVvOghWqLGt0rZcdfa%2FPC3pkYY%3D&amp;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&amp;data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249239980082%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=Nqqk%2FXJNrFqQd%2BUdWMs5Xw7DxzwpMExmpDda7Y9fNNY%3D&amp;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&amp;data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249239998376%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=s%2F3CGsjjib9Gu8mBlf5ff31%2Fixq4YP17xzT17hhpJCc%3D&amp;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&amp;data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249240017198%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=hoGZ3pur0U5mQzw7AMhVbUTvt98j6iiA3uSdRyW8ilE%3D&amp;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&amp;data=05%7C02%7CMarkWeiner%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1fb28049c334a2cc7f008dd5b6dc780%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638767249240034483%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=b2TrFHYPxraFqTGFla%2BJ7HG5kQ5p006bXVNPXSsFvAw%3D&amp;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>
