The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Team 47 - We Voted For This
A deep dive into President Donald Trump’s historic 36-hour diplomatic marathon and the groundbreaking Gaza peace deal. Clay and Buck open the hour by contrasting Trump’s high-energy international diplomacy with Joe Biden’s limited schedule, highlighting Trump’s whirlwind trip to Israel and Egypt, his speeches to the Knesset, meetings with world leaders, and the signing of a landmark ceasefire agreement that secured the release of all Israeli hostages and nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees. The hosts emphasize that this achievement positions Trump as a dominant figure in Middle East peace negotiations—surpassing past presidents from Carter to Obama.
The discussion features reactions from unlikely sources: left-leaning media figures and celebrities such as Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Joe Scarborough, who publicly acknowledged Trump’s success. Clay and Buck play clips from CNN, MSNBC, and prominent Democrats praising Trump’s role in brokering peace, noting how even Trump’s fiercest critics are conceding victory. They explore whether this diplomatic triumph will resonate with everyday Americans or remain a major news story without shifting public opinion, particularly among Jewish voters. The conversation touches on cultural and political dynamics within the Jewish community, analyzing whether Trump’s achievement could influence voting trends.
President Donald Trump meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to push for a ceasefire and a lasting peace agreement in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Clay and Buck discuss Trump’s role as mediator between Zelensky and Vladimir Putin, comparing the dynamic to high-stakes negotiations and emphasizing Trump’s unique ability to command respect from global adversaries. Zelensky’s remarks underscore the need for security guarantees and bilateral agreements, while Trump signals a potential diplomatic breakthrough.
The conversation shifts to economic leverage in the conflict, with Trump announcing that India will stop buying Russian oil, a move that could cripple Moscow’s ability to skirt sanctions. Clay and Buck explain how India’s previous role as a middleman for Russian energy exports helped Putin evade penalties, and why cutting off this lifeline could reshape the war’s trajectory. Trump also hints at military deterrence, mentioning Tomahawk missiles as part of U.S. support for Ukraine, while stressing his goal to end the war without escalating to direct strikes.
