Summary
In hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show, the hosts delve into a variety of significant topics, starting with Speaker Mike Johnson's praise for President Trump's accomplishments in the first 100 days of his second term. Johnson highlights achievements such as removing men from women's sports, ending DEI in the federal government and military, expanding oil and gas extraction, securing trillions in new investments, and combating antisemitism on college campuses.
The hosts discuss Senator Tommy Tuberville's enthusiastic support for Trump's performance, grading it an A+. They contrast this with CNN's Harry Enten's analysis, which points out Trump's lower approval ratings compared to his first term and other presidents. Clay and Buck argue that poll numbers are less relevant since Trump is not running for re-election and emphasize the importance of his policy actions over approval ratings.
The conversation shifts to the administration's focus on economic issues, particularly inflation. Clay highlights a poll showing that 44% of Americans consider inflation their top economic concern. They discuss the importance of reducing the cost of goods and maintaining economic stability to ensure public support.
The hosts also address the administration's proactive approach to setting the media agenda, noting the effectiveness of early morning press conferences. They praise Trump's quick response to Amazon's proposed tariff pricing display, which was promptly abandoned after a call from Trump to Jeff Bezos.
Karoline Leavitt's comments on enforcing federal rules against men competing in women's sports are discussed, with the administration taking legal action against states that defy these rules. Clay and Buck emphasize the need for the administration to hold states accountable and protect women's sports.
The hour concludes with a lighthearted discussion about the youthful and dynamic nature of Trump's cabinet. The hosts reflect on the energy and talent within the administration and its impact on the country's direction.
