Hour 3 - Trey Gowdy’s Viral Gun Comments - The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives deep into the intersection of crime policy, gun control, mental health, and political accountability. Clay and Buck analyze the dramatic 87% drop in carjackings in Washington, DC, crediting President Trump’s federal crime surge and highlighting Mayor Muriel Bowser’s praise for the initiative. They discuss the broader implications of violent crime in American cities, citing an AP poll showing 99% of Americans view urban crime as a major or minor issue. The hosts criticize Democratic leadership for lacking effective crime solutions and argue that law enforcement—not social workers—is key to reducing violent crime.

The hour features a provocative interview with Trey Gowdy, former congressman and Fox News contributor, who defends his viral comments on mass shootings and gun control. Gowdy emphasizes balancing constitutional freedoms with public safety, advocating for stronger enforcement of existing gun laws and mental health evaluations. The conversation explores the role of parents, red flag laws, and the definition of mass shootings, sparking debate over whether any new legislation could have prevented recent tragedies like the Minneapolis school shooting.

Clay and Buck also provide an economic update, celebrating Q2 2025 GDP growth revised to 3.3% and inflation nearing the Fed’s 2% target, branding it the “Trump economy 2.0.” They touch on media bias, the cultural impact of mental illness narratives, and the political fallout from crime-related policies.
