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.
