Hour 2 - Hud Secretary Scott Turner

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of political analysis, foreign policy updates, and cultural commentary, with a strong focus on Donald Trump’s recent diplomatic and economic achievements. The hosts open the hour by celebrating what they describe as a “world tour of winning” for Trump, highlighting his efforts to secure up to $1 trillion in Middle Eastern investment into the U.S. economy. They emphasize the positive impact on inflation, the stock market, and consumer prices—especially the sharp drop in egg prices, the largest since 1984.

The conversation shifts to Trump’s foreign policy wins, including potential breakthroughs in U.S.-China trade relations, normalization of ties with Syria, and mediation efforts between India and Pakistan. Clay and Buck also discuss reports of a possible face-to-face meeting between Ukrainian President Zelensky and Russian President Putin in Istanbul, contingent on Trump’s attendance. They argue that Trump’s diplomacy is reshaping global alliances, particularly by isolating Iran and strengthening U.S. ties with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Israel.

The hosts contrast Trump’s foreign policy successes with what they describe as the failures of the Biden administration, particularly in Afghanistan and Ukraine. They criticize Secretary of State Antony Blinken and question the lack of any clear foreign policy victories under Biden.

Later in the hour, Clay and Buck welcome HUD Secretary Scott Turner, who discusses the Trump administration’s housing priorities, including rolling back Biden-era regulations, restoring local control over zoning, and addressing homelessness and disaster recovery. Turner also outlines HUD’s new policy on gender-specific shelters, affirming that only biological women can access women’s shelters funded by HUD. He praises Trump’s stance on protecting women’s spaces and sports, drawing from his own experience as a former NFL player.

The hour wraps up with a lighthearted segment on the universal struggle of husbands navigating grocery store trips, offering comic relief and relatable anecdotes about shopping mishaps and the complexities of modern consumer choices.
