Sometimes There Are No Answers
A lot is unfolding in the world right now, but for many Americans, everything else faded into the background when news broke of the catastrophic flooding hitting Texas over the weekend. The disaster has claimed the lives of at least 95 people, including 27 young campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp for girls. Several others remain missing.
In moments like this, it’s almost impossible not to look to God and ask, "Why did this happen to innocent children?". It’s a question with no comprehensible answer.
Today, Trey acknowledges that heartbreaking truth — but turns to scripture to offer hope. He reminds us that in deep sorrow, we can still trust in the boundless love of Jesus, whose care for children surpasses even the most painful questions.

Encore Q & Trey: Explaining The Bryan Kohberger Defense
It’s been more than two and a half years since the brutal murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, and Madison Mogen—four University of Idaho students whose lives were tragically cut short in Moscow, Idaho. Months after the killings, Brian Kohberger was named the prime suspect when his DNA was discovered on a knife sheath left at the scene. Despite the evidence, Kohberger maintained his innocence. That was until this week, when he shocked Americans by pleading guilty to all four murders.
In today's encore episode, Trey revisits his initial reaction to Kohberger’s not guilty plea and explains why he thought Kohberger would pursue a mental health defense. He also explains why depositions aren’t used in criminal trials—and even sneaks in a few unforgettable golf stories.

Discussing America's Concerns With the Country's Leading Voices
On Sunday night, devastating news came out of Idaho, as Americans learned that a gunman opened fire on firefighters responding to a call — ultimately killing two of them. Because the heinous news broke during 'Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy,' the interviews he had prepared weren't aired as breaking news rightfully took priority. So today, Trey chose three conversations that didn't make it to air to share — ones that dive into a range of key issues in the country.
First, Trey speaks with CIA Director John Ratcliffe about the ongoing war between Iran and Israel, and how badly Iran's nuclear program was damaged by U.S. strikes. Later, he speaks with Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Congressman Jason Smith (R-MO) about whether he believes the 'big, beautiful bill' will end up on President Trump's desk by July 4th, and welcomes U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to break down major Supreme Court decisions recently made in Washington.
