Welcome in hour number three, Clay Travis Buck Sexton's show.

It was the great tariff war that wasn't, leaving Chuck Schumer hosting an avocado in one hand and a corona in the other and saying,

your Super Bowl party is going to be ruined because of Donald Trump.

One thing I would suggest, Buck, maybe the stock market needs to stop

being as reactive to Trump public commentary. I saw the stock market was down, I think, like,

two and a half percent this morning off the start before Mexico pledged 10,000 troops to the border, growing fentanyl.

They just arrested one of the cartel leaders.

And when you look at how the stock market has moved since, it's all basically come back.

Question for you, and I'm going to dive into the Democrat Party's ongoing major identity

crisis here for you.

Do you think Trump putting Mexico's president on notice about border security and the fact that he will not allow the same level of illegal drugs crossing our border actually makes her job easier because it makes her and Mexican government officials able to say, hey, our hands are tied.

This is the U.S.

In other words, and I haven't heard a lot of people analyze this, but I'm curious what you would say.

There has talked, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a friend of both of ours, has said,

we're prepared to attack the cartels.

Mexico may say publicly, no, no, no, this is our sovereign territory, all those things.

Do you think privately through back channels, they actually welcome that in some way because it focuses the cartels ire on the United States as opposed to Mexican targets.

I actually think that's under discussed, but potentially from a negotiating perspective, one of

these things where you say one thing publicly and then are saying something else privately.

That really gets into, I think it's a really interesting theory and it gets into a level of understanding

the cartels. Maybe we should bring on. I don't know if you know who Yon Grillo is. I've interviewed
