A Win for Peace
A historic Middle East peace agreement brokered by President Donald Trump. The hosts analyze Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which includes the imminent release of hostages held since the October 7, 2023 terror attacks. According to Trump, approximately 20 hostages are still alive, and their return is expected Monday, alongside the remains of others who perished in captivity. Clay and Buck emphasize the monumental nature of this deal, calling it one of the most transformative peace efforts in modern history.
The discussion explores Trump’s unique ability to negotiate across traditional divides, earning praise even from critics like Washington Post columnist David Ignatius. The hosts highlight Trump’s plan to address the Israeli Knesset, the formation of a “Council of Peace” to oversee Gaza’s rebuilding, and the broader implications for global diplomacy, including potential progress in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. They also tackle the controversy surrounding Trump’s possible Nobel Peace Prize candidacy, arguing that motivations matter less than results when world peace is at stake.
President Peacemaker
Analysis of President Donald Trump’s latest cabinet meeting and his bold claim of negotiating peace in eight major conflicts worldwide, including Armenia-Azerbaijan, Congo-Rwanda, Iran-Israel, India-Pakistan, Cambodia-Thailand, Serbia-Kosovo, and Ethiopia-Egypt. Clay and Buck spotlight Trump’s efforts to end the Israel-Hamas war, secure hostage releases, and pivot toward resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which remains stalled due to Vladimir Putin’s territorial ambitions and disregard for casualties. The hosts debate whether Trump’s peace initiatives could merit a Nobel Peace Prize, contrasting his tangible achievements with past awards given for far less.
Rush and Buck
The conversation pivots to the transformative impact of Elon Musk’s ownership of X (formerly Twitter) on American political discourse. Clay and Buck highlight data showing a dramatic shift in platform demographics—from a 37-point Democrat advantage in 2021 to a 14-point Republican edge today—underscoring how X has become a critical battleground for free speech. They contrast Musk’s principled stance with the opportunistic behavior of other tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, warning that platforms such as Facebook and TikTok remain vulnerable to political influence. The hosts also revisit Rush Limbaugh’s prescient call for conservative billionaires to invest in media platforms, noting Musk’s acquisition of Twitter as a game-changing move. They explore the future of AI-driven algorithms, predicting ideological divides between “woke AI” and Musk’s free-speech-oriented models.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville
Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville joins the show to discuss GOP strategy during the shutdown, the importance of protecting farmers and military funding, and his reaction to Trump’s Middle East breakthrough. Tuberville also weighs in on rumors that sports media personality Paul Finebaum may run for Senate in Alabama, emphasizing the need for conservative credentials and grassroots campaigning. The senator shares candid thoughts on ESPN’s leftward shift, political polarization, and his own experience being targeted by federal agencies.

Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show dives into breaking news about a historic Middle East peace agreement brokered by President Donald Trump. The hosts analyze Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which includes the imminent release of hostages held since the October 7, 2023 terror attacks.
According to Trump, approximately 20 hostages are still alive, and their return is expected Monday, alongside the remains of others who perished in captivity. Clay and Buck emphasize the monumental nature of this deal, calling it one of the most transformative peace efforts in modern history.
The discussion explores Trump’s unique ability to negotiate across traditional divides, earning praise even from critics like Washington Post columnist David Ignatius. The hosts highlight Trump’s plan to address the Israeli Knesset, the formation of a “Council of Peace” to oversee Gaza’s rebuilding, and the broader implications for global diplomacy, including potential progress in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. They also tackle the controversy surrounding Trump’s possible Nobel Peace Prize candidacy, arguing that motivations matter less than results when world peace is at stake.
Clay and Buck examine the cognitive dissonance among Trump’s detractors, particularly those who previously labeled him as a threat to global stability. They underscore Trump’s pragmatic approach—focused on commerce and results rather than ideology—which has enabled him to gain trust from both Israel and key Arab nations. The conversation also addresses enforcement challenges, the role of Arab states in Gaza governance, and the weakening of Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah following recent U.S. and Israeli actions.
Hour 1 closes with lighter moments, including humorous banter about shopping mishaps and culinary adventures, but the dominant theme remains clear: this is a pivotal moment for peace in the Middle East, with Trump at the center of negotiations that could reshape global geopolitics.

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of global diplomacy, U.S. politics, and cultural commentary. The hour opens with analysis of President Donald Trump’s latest cabinet meeting and his bold claim of negotiating peace in eight major conflicts worldwide, including Armenia-Azerbaijan, Congo-Rwanda, Iran-Israel, India-Pakistan, Cambodia-Thailand, Serbia-Kosovo, and Ethiopia-Egypt. Clay and Buck spotlight Trump’s efforts to end the Israel-Hamas war, secure hostage releases, and pivot toward resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which remains stalled due to Vladimir Putin’s territorial ambitions and disregard for casualties. The hosts debate whether Trump’s peace initiatives could merit a Nobel Peace Prize, contrasting his tangible achievements with past awards given for far less.
The conversation shifts to the government shutdown, with Trump vowing permanent cuts to Democrat-backed programs. Senator Tommy Tuberville joins the show to discuss GOP strategy during the shutdown, the importance of protecting farmers and military funding, and his reaction to Trump’s Middle East breakthrough. Tuberville also weighs in on rumors that sports media personality Paul Finebaum may run for Senate in Alabama, emphasizing the need for conservative credentials and grassroots campaigning. The senator shares candid thoughts on ESPN’s leftward shift, political polarization, and his own experience being targeted by federal agencies.
Cultural topics add levity to the hour, including Trump’s announcement restoring Columbus Day, sparking discussion of historical revisionism and the Sopranos’ iconic Columbus episode. Clay and Buck critique the left’s statue-toppling frenzy as “mass psychosis” and explore how platforms like X (formerly Twitter) under Elon Musk have disrupted legacy media narratives, creating space for authentic public opinion. The hour also features humorous listener talkbacks about Buck’s “Polish sausage” anecdote and a lighthearted Polish joke, blending serious geopolitical analysis with trademark Clay & Buck humor.

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with breaking political news: a new Quinnipiac poll in the New York City mayoral race shows Zohran Mamdani leading with 46%, followed by Andrew Cuomo at 33% and Curtis Sliwa at 15%. The hosts analyze how Mamdani’s strong position could shape the race and preview other key contests, including the Virginia Attorney General race and the upcoming elections in New Jersey.
The conversation pivots to the transformative impact of Elon Musk’s ownership of X (formerly Twitter) on American political discourse. Clay and Buck highlight data showing a dramatic shift in platform demographics—from a 37-point Democrat advantage in 2021 to a 14-point Republican edge today—underscoring how X has become a critical battleground for free speech. They contrast Musk’s principled stance with the opportunistic behavior of other tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, warning that platforms such as Facebook and TikTok remain vulnerable to political influence. The hosts also revisit Rush Limbaugh’s prescient call for conservative billionaires to invest in media platforms, noting Musk’s acquisition of Twitter as a game-changing move. They explore the future of AI-driven algorithms, predicting ideological divides between “woke AI” and Musk’s free-speech-oriented models.
From tech to culture, the hour examines California politics, focusing on Rep. Katie Porter’s controversial bid for governor. Clay and Buck dissect Porter’s viral CBS interview, where she clashed with a reporter over Trump voters and displayed what they describe as a bullying, unlikable demeanor. They also discuss past allegations and staff complaints, framing Porter as emblematic of the Democratic Party’s inability to handle tough questions after years of media favoritism.
The show then shifts to California wildfires, debunking climate-change narratives pushed by mainstream outlets after federal officials arrested an alleged arsonist behind the devastating Palisades fire. Clay and Buck argue that media bias obscures real issues like water shortages and firefighting failures.
Hour 3 closes on a lighter note with personal anecdotes and listener engagement: Clay’s upcoming Alcatraz swim sparks a humorous debate about shark attacks, while Buck updates listeners on his quest to throw a 100 mph fastball. The hosts mix serious political analysis with trademark humor, reinforcing why their show remains a go-to source for news, culture, and entertainment.
