Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with breaking news from the Oval Office, where President Donald Trump meets with the Prime Minister of Turkey and addresses the press on multiple issues. The hosts analyze Trump’s remarks, including his blunt assessment of rising left-wing violence and his warning that radical rhetoric from Democrats is fueling domestic terrorism.
The discussion shifts to the U.S. economy, highlighting a surprising 3.8% GDP growth in Q2, record-high stock prices, and falling interest rates. Clay and Buck break down how lower mortgage rates could unlock the housing market and why economic growth—not spending cuts—may be the only path to balancing the federal budget. They also touch on Elon Musk’s prediction that AI-driven innovation could help offset ballooning deficits.
The hour takes a serious turn with updates on politically motivated violence, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a deadly shooting at an ICE facility, and threats against a vigil in Texas. The hosts argue that these incidents underscore a disturbing trend of left-wing extremism, contrasting it with media narratives about right-wing violence. Trump’s comments on this issue are played in full, emphasizing his stance that the radical left is responsible for escalating tensions.
Later, the conversation zeroes in on James Comey, the former FBI Director, as reports suggest possible criminal charges for lying under oath before the statute of limitations expires. Clay and Buck revisit Comey’s controversial role in targeting General Michael Flynn and his history of aggressive prosecutions, including the Martha Stewart case. They stress the importance of accountability to prevent the U.S. from descending into “banana republic” politics.
The segment wraps with listener calls on topics ranging from Major League Baseball playoff races to the New Jersey governor’s race, plus a humorous aside about Kamala Harris’s “boring” new book and its implications for her political future.
