Hour 3 - Newt Gingrich, Fmr. Speaker of the House

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic and thought-provoking discussion centered on the evolving relationship between President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk. Clay opens the hour by revisiting the political and psychological dimensions of the Trump-Elon fallout, emphasizing the strategic importance of their alliance for the future of American innovation, free speech, and political discourse. Travis argues that President Trump, currently serving his second term, and Elon Musk—who endorsed Trump following the 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania—have forged a powerful, albeit young, political partnership. He explores how Musk’s acquisition of Twitter (now X) in 2022 catalyzed a transformation in the digital public square, enabling a freer marketplace of ideas crucial for American dominance in artificial intelligence and technological innovation. The hour also features a compelling interview with former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who discusses his new book, Trump’s Triumph: America’s Greatest Comeback. Gingrich contextualizes Trump’s political resurgence as historically unparalleled, comparing it to Grover Cleveland’s non-consecutive presidencies but noting Trump’s broader impact. He also weighs in on the Trump-Musk dynamic, characterizing Musk’s recent social media outburst as a “temper tantrum” and reinforcing Trump’s constitutional authority as president. Additional topics include: The legislative trajectory of the “Big Beautiful Bill” and its potential to fuel a Trump-led economic boom. The rising influence of JD Vance as a likely successor to Trumpism and a potential 2028 presidential contender. A financial segment highlighting the S&P 500’s rebound and long-term investment strategies, emphasizing the value of index funds and buy-and-hold approaches. A tribute to the 81st anniversary of D-Day and the work of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in supporting American veterans. A lighthearted yet insightful astrology reading of Clay Travis’s birth chart, drawing parallels to President Trump’s astrological profile and offering health-related advice.
