Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show features a mix of breaking political developments, economic analysis, state‑level governance, medical‑industry skepticism, and live reaction to President Trump’s ongoing tariff press conference. The hour opens with the hosts welcoming Indiana Governor Mike Braun, who had just been at the White House when President Trump learned of the Supreme Court’s decision striking down his earlier tariff authority. Governor Braun recounts that Trump received the news during a governors’ meeting, appeared visibly irritated, and abruptly cut the session short to address the press. The hosts then ask Braun for his broader assessment of the tariff era, and he argues that tariffs were a necessary corrective after decades of non‑reciprocal trade deals, massive deficits, and foreign economic advantage rooted in post‑World War II arrangements. From his perspective, tariffs helped the United States force overdue trade realignments without the economic doomsday outcomes many predicted.

A major portion of the interview focuses on the explosive story that the Chicago Bears may relocate to Indiana after years of gridlock with Illinois leadership over building a new stadium. Braun says negotiations have been underway for months, Indiana has cleared regulatory and legislative pathways, and the deal is nearly at the finish line barring any last‑minute surprises. Clay and Buck highlight the situation as a prime “red state vs. blue state” contrast, arguing that Chicago’s political dysfunction is driving out an iconic franchise while Indiana’s streamlined governance is attracting it.

The conversation then moves to Indiana’s redistricting controversy. Braun criticizes establishment Republicans in his state legislature for resisting mid‑decade redistricting despite aggressive gerrymandering in deep‑blue states. He says Indiana could have gained additional Republican congressional seats but internal GOP resistance blocked action, leaving the state as an outlier compared to places like Massachusetts or Virginia.

After wrapping with Governor Braun — including a lighter detour about Indiana University’s surprise football championship — Clay and Buck pivot to President Trump’s live White House remarks on tariffs. Trump declares he is “ashamed” of certain Supreme Court justices for striking down his earlier tariff authority and insists foreign countries are “dancing in the streets.” He announces he will immediately implement a new universal 10% global tariff under a different statutory authority, including Section 122 and Section 301, insisting he does not need Congress to proceed. Clay and Buck note that this is exactly the workaround they predicted, and Trump’s tone suggests he intends to escalate, not retreat, in the tariff fight.

The hour then introduces filmmaker Jeff Hayes, director of the forthcoming documentary Maha Uncensored, examining America’s pharmaceutical and medical‑industry incentives. Hayes argues the United States is profoundly overmedicated, noting that a quarter of Americans take SSRIs despite evidence they may be ineffective and riddled with side effects. He describes young children being placed on psychiatric medications, widespread ADHD drug use, and a medical system incentivized toward chronic treatment instead of prevention. Hayes praises the emerging political coalition of “Maha Moms” — mothers aligned with both RFK Jr. and Donald Trump — who are demanding transparency in food systems, healthcare, and childhood drug protocols. He discusses how this movement exploded after RFK Jr. coined the phrase “Make America Healthy Again” and expects mothers to remain a driving force in healthcare reform.

The hour closes with more live reaction to Trump’s presser, including his sharp criticism of congressional opponents and his insistence that manufacturing workers support his approach to tariffs. Trump claims the ruling will not slow him down, as existing Section 232 and Section 301 tariffs will remain in place and new tools will be expanded immediately.
