The conversation transitions to a detailed analysis of the ongoing trade wars, particularly focusing on the escalating tensions between the United States and China. Clay Travis discusses the impact of increased tariffs and the strategic leverage the U.S. holds due to China's export-dependent economy. Buck Sexton adds insights into the broader implications of these trade conflicts, including intellectual property theft and the geopolitical strategies at play.

The hosts also highlight comments from notable figures such as Victor Davis Hanson and Kevin O'Leary (aka Mr. Wonderful) who advocate for aggressive tariff policies against China.
