This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Welcome in, everybody, to the Wednesday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show. I'm just going to start with some good news today, Clay. Trump's sharing this one out.
What new initiative did President Trump announce at the D.C. summit?
S&P 500 just hit 7,000 for the first time ever.
Yes.
All caps. America is back. So it's a good thing. Some of you might say, well, I don't have stocks that I'm invested in. You have a retirement account. You work for a company that has public shares. I mean, this actually is an indicator of pretty broad sentiment, and at least in some sectors, economic health. Price is still too high. Yes, I know. But prices would be even worse if the stock market was down 20%. I can say that as well, meaning... you'd have a much harder time affording the prices if the economy was in a tailspin from a dropping market. So this is good news. I like to start with the good news, which is that we've got the first time ever 7,000 on the S&P 500. We've got the White House weighing in, and now other places, as exactly promised to you on this show, other places starting to get...
and see the early stages of these anti-ICE operations, these sabotage operations. White House has spoken about this one. We shall get into that. Also, Trump talking pretty tough game about Iran, and we've got some updates on that situation, plus Venezuela. So we will get into all of that. We've also got some great guests joining today. Mark Halpern, who's the editor-in-chief of Two-Way, and he's a host in his own right. You guys all, I'm sure, have seen his political analysis. What was his book, Clay, the most famous one that he did? Game Change. He was Game Change, really?
I think. I'm going to make sure that that's correct because I don't want to. By the time we have him on, we've got to make sure we get that right. But I believe that he was one of the co-authors.
Yeah, he was a co-author with Heilman. Okay, yes, yes. That's right. And then we've got 230, Joe Livornia, who is a counselor to the Treasury Secretary. Look, there's a big summit going on in D.C. Clay, now we're going to be there, but there's some travel issues with, you know, the snowpocalypse that is hitting. Clay, it's even getting a little chilly down here in South Florida. Some of you will note, I am wearing a sweatshirt, not just because it is indeed Cozy Earth, one of our fabulous sponsors, and it is the most comfortable sweatshirt imaginable. but because it is a little chilly here and it's going to get chillier. So I understand that places are going through a bit of a deep freeze right now.
It is dropping into the 60s. It might even hit the 50s in South Florida.
It's rough. I will say this, by the way, on the weather thing. It is actually far worse than I realized in Nashville all the way down to Mississippi. I don't know if you've seen the footage, Buck. They basically have shut down several interstates, and they are impassable in Mississippi right now. Last night, I went to the Kentucky-Vanderbilt basketball game. Vanderbilt University is shut down, which never happens. I was blown away by how awful. This was the first time I've left my house since the storm hit. I was blown away by how awful the roads are and how significant the damage is from this winter storm that came through, the ice in particular. Nashville is hammered all the way down into Mississippi.
There's about a 200-mile stretch, I would say, Buck, where it is utterly devastating in terms of the number of people without power, the number of trees down, the amount of significant damage. So we're thinking about all you guys out there that are from Nashville, basically south in this stretch, dealing with a truly awful scenario. And yes, Buck pointed out, we were going to be in Washington, D.C. with the president and with the treasury secretary today at these Trump account announcements, but we couldn't get up there. And so we had all sorts of issues with with travel. And so we're going to have we'll talk about what was going to happen there. I'm sure we'll be up in D.C. again soon. But that is taking place right now.
