Hour 1 - Colbert is Not a Martyr
Manage episode 495925665 series 2660054
Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into a dynamic mix of political analysis, media critique, and cultural commentary. The hour opens with President Trump’s live Oval Office meeting alongside the President of the Philippines, Bongbong Marcos, where Trump addresses military cooperation, missile defense, and the Russia collusion hoax, which he calls the “biggest scandal in history.” Trump also accuses former President Obama of treason and reiterates claims that the 2020 election was stolen, asserting he won in a “landslide.”
The hosts then pivot to Hunter Biden’s media presence, speculating on his potential political ambitions following a widely discussed interview. They debate whether Hunter sees himself as a political savior for the Biden family, drawing parallels to past political comebacks.
A major segment focuses on the collapse of late-night television, with sharp criticism of Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon. The hosts highlight Colbert’s show reportedly losing $40 million annually, contrasting it with Greg Gutfeld’s success on Fox News. They argue that ideological bias, not profitability, drives decisions in mainstream media, likening late-night TV to the WNBA as a subsidized, failing enterprise.
The conversation also revisits the Breonna Taylor case, criticizing the DOJ’s sentencing of a police officer to nearly three years in prison despite his acquittal on state charges. The hosts frame this as a politically motivated response to BLM-era pressure.
