Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful blend of economic analysis, foreign policy insight, and media critique, all centered around the achievements and challenges of President Donald Trump's administration. The hour opens with a breakdown of newly negotiated trade deals with the EU and UK, including a 15% tariff on 70% of European imports. These deals are framed as a major win for American manufacturing and energy, with projections of $750 billion in energy purchases and $600 billion in new investments by 2028.
The hosts then pivot to foreign policy, highlighting Trump’s frustration with stalled negotiations in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. They discuss the possibility of secondary sanctions and increased economic pressure on Russia, while also examining the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Trump’s commitment to delivering substantial U.S. food aid to starving civilians is presented as both a moral imperative and a strategic move to stabilize the region.
Throughout the hour, Clay and Buck emphasize the strength of the U.S. economy, citing record stock market highs, preserved tax cuts, and collapsing violent crime rates—even acknowledged by outlets like The New York Times. They argue that Trump has delivered on his core campaign promises: economic growth, border security, and law enforcement support.
A major segment is devoted to the media’s handling of the Russia hoax and the Epstein case. Tulsi Gabbard, now Director of National Intelligence, is praised for exposing the depth of the intelligence community’s efforts to undermine Trump. The hosts criticize mainstream media for ignoring these revelations and accuse Democrats of weaponizing the Epstein case to politically damage Trump, rather than seeking justice for victims.
Vice President JD Vance is spotlighted for his articulate defense of the administration against media attacks, particularly regarding the lack of transparency under previous administrations. The hosts argue that Democrats only began caring about Epstein when they saw an opportunity to divide Trump from his base.
