Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a hard-hitting discussion on public safety, mental health, and media accountability. The hour opens with a look at Labor Day travel and gas prices hitting a four-year low, contrasting today’s affordability with past inflationary spikes. From there, the conversation pivots to the Minneapolis church shooting, where the hosts criticize mainstream media outlets like CNN and The New York Times for allegedly misrepresenting the shooter’s gender identity and downplaying the role of transgender issues in the tragedy.

Clay and Buck raise urgent questions about gender transition treatments for minors, exploring whether hormone therapy and puberty blockers could impact mental health and decision-making. They argue that these medical interventions, combined with untreated psychological conditions, may contribute to violent behavior—an issue they say the media refuses to address.

The hour also dives deep into gun control debates, including mental health screenings for firearm ownership and the potential misuse of such laws against veterans with PTSD. The hosts reject “feel-good” legislation and instead advocate for practical security measures, such as armed guards in every school and house of worship, estimating a nationwide program could cost $10 billion annually. They highlight deterrence strategies like concealed carry laws and veteran-based security programs as effective ways to protect children.

Special guest Alex Berenson joins to discuss the link between cannabis use and psychosis, citing research that high-potency THC can increase the risk of schizophrenia and violent behavior. Berenson warns that replacing alcohol with marijuana is not a public health win, arguing that cannabis poses greater long-term risks to brain health. The conversation also addresses misconceptions about SSRIs and antipsychotic medications, emphasizing their life-saving role for individuals with severe depression or psychosis and pushing back against political narratives demonizing these treatments.

The hour closes with a strong message to parents: no drug that alters consciousness is without consequences. Berenson urges families to educate teens about the risks of THC, Adderall, and other substances, while also calling on policymakers to resist industry pressure to reschedule cannabis under federal law.
