Impact of Pope Francis

Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with a discussion on the current state of the markets and the possibility of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve, highlighting Trump's impatience with Jerome Powell. The hosts then delve into the major news of the day—the passing of Pope Francis. They explore his legacy, noting his significance as the first Jesuit and Latin American Pope, and discuss the implications of his sudden death and the upcoming conclave to elect a new Pope.

The conversation shifts to immigration and deportation issues, focusing on the Democrats' stance on returning Abrigo Garcia to the United States for deportation. The hosts question Garcia's alleged ties to MS-13 and discuss the broader implications of immigration policies.

Next, the show covers the Trump administration's pro-natal policies aimed at encouraging higher birth rates, with a humorous nod to Elon Musk's efforts in this area. They also touch on the media's scrutiny of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, defending his position and criticizing the media's tactics.

America is people, not just an idea

The hosts reflect on the cultural and religious significance of the Pope's passing, sharing personal anecdotes about their experiences with the Catholic Church and discussing the search for meaning and purpose in modern society. They emphasize the importance of traditional values and the role of the Catholic Church in providing a sense of purpose.

The hour concludes with a discussion on the challenges of deporting illegal immigrants, highlighting the Supreme Court's recent decision to halt the deportation of violent criminals and the broader implications for immigration enforcement under the Trump administration.

NPR's Fake News about leaks in the Pentagon over Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Buck makes a wise point about loyalty. 

AOC for president?  Kevin McCarthy says AOC could crush old guard Democrats and become the leader of the Democrat Party.  Jim Clyburn blames the media for Democrats' historic unpopularity. Does AOC have the "rizz"?
