The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jul 28 2025
Trump was Right on Trade
President Donald Trump’s economic and trade victories, including a landmark UK-US trade agreement announced alongside UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and a massive EU-US trade deal. The hosts emphasize how these deals validate Trump’s long-standing “America First” trade policy and his strategic use of economic leverage. They highlight the record-breaking performance of the S&P 500 and Dow Jones, attributing the market’s rebound to Trump’s leadership and urging listeners to stay invested for long-term gains.
The segment also critiques mainstream media and political opponents, asserting that Trump’s economic foresight—especially on China—has been vindicated. The hosts contrast Trump’s success with the Biden administration’s failures, particularly on inflation, wage growth, and border security. They argue that Trump has delivered on his promises more effectively than any recent president.
Black on White Crime
A viral video of a violent mob assault in Cincinnati, which Vice President JD Vance condemns as a brutal, racially charged attack. They criticize the mainstream media’s silence, suggesting a double standard in coverage based on the racial dynamics of the incident. The discussion calls for harsher penalties for mob violence, urging district attorneys to prioritize violent crime over nonviolent offenses.
Russia, Russia, Russia
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.
Woke Left Calls Sydney Sweeny Ad “Nazi Propaganda”
Backlash against “woke” advertising. The hosts praise American Eagle’s decision to feature actress Sydney Sweeney in a new campaign, calling it a return to aspirational marketing and a rejection of body positivity campaigns that promote unhealthy lifestyles. They argue that brands are shifting away from politically correct messaging because it failed to resonate with consumers. This segment includes a critique of the media’s labeling of traditional beauty standards as “Nazi propaganda,” which Clay and Buck dismiss as absurd.
In a broader cultural context, the hosts discuss the growing emphasis on health and fitness among younger generations. They note a decline in smoking and binge drinking, while expressing concern over the increased use of high-potency marijuana. They argue that marijuana legalization has led to unintended consequences, including public health risks and a thriving black market. The conversation also touches on the importance of teaching young people to take risks, pursue physical fitness, and engage with the world beyond their screens.
