Summary

Hour 3 Summary – Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show (Guest Host: Brian Mudd) In this third hour of the program, Brian Mudd delivers an in-depth review of President Donald Trump’s first 11 months back in office, focusing on the progress made on his 20-point plan to Save America. The discussion kicks off with the economic impact of Trump’s tax policies, highlighting record-breaking tax refunds and permanent tax cuts that many Americans will fully realize during tax season. Mudd emphasizes how these policies are driving affordability and economic growth, with inflation trending lower and wages rising faster than prices. The hour explores major achievements across multiple fronts: Federal Bureaucracy Reduction – Over 271,000 fewer federal employees, shrinking government size by nearly 9%. End of Wokeness & DEI Programs – Corporate America and universities have rolled back diversity initiatives, while the NCAA and Trump administration enforced policies protecting women’s sports under Title IX. Border Security & Immigration – Illegal crossings have dropped by over 99%, and a record-breaking 2.5 million deportations—including 1.9 million self-deportations—have saved billions in taxpayer costs. Crime Reduction – Violent crime down 11%, property crime down 12%, with major improvements in cities like Washington, D.C. and Memphis. Economic Growth & Jobs – U.S. GDP surged 4.3% in Q3, manufacturing jobs increased by 244,000, and reshoring efforts reduced reliance on China from 22% to 14%. Energy Independence – Domestic energy production hit record highs, including an 11% boost in renewables. Tax Relief Expansion – Elimination of federal taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits, saving Americans thousands annually. Constitutional Protections & Rule of Law – Trump rescinded 97 Biden-era executive actions, overturned 16 regulations, and secured a 90% win rate in Supreme Court cases. Foreign Policy & Peace Deals – Historic progress in ending global conflicts, from Armenia to Israel and Iran, with ongoing efforts to resolve the Russia-Ukraine war. Medicare & Social Security Integrity – Billions saved through fraud prevention and prescription drug price renegotiations. Regulatory Cuts – 646 regulations eliminated, saving households an average of $600 annually. Brian also addresses listener concerns about “more money in pockets,” explaining how Trump’s policies have reversed Biden-era losses, leaving the average American financially better off. The hour closes with reflections on Trump’s role as a peacemaker, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar globally, and a look ahead to continued progress in 2026.

And just like with the case of the tax cuts, you have so many people that haven't realized the benefit yet.

1:12.1

Yeah, the Trump tax policy was made permanent that was put in place during his first time. So that happened. But the additional tax cuts, so many people just have not realized that benefit because, well, they didn't change their withholding this year. And so it's not going to be until they filed their taxes. They go, oh, my gosh, that's what it really means to me.
