The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Oct 13 2025
They Are HOME
A monumental shift toward Middle East peace, highlighting President Donald Trump’s role in facilitating what is being hailed as a transformative geopolitical achievement. A celebration of the return of 20 living hostages from Gaza to Israel and the broader implications of the Trump-brokered peace agreement.
The hosts celebrate the end of a two-year war between Israel and Hamas, emphasizing the unprecedented nature of the ceasefire and the dismantling of Hamas leadership. They underscore the significance of Trump’s speech to the Israeli Knesset, where he was met with overwhelming support and gratitude. The episode positions Trump as the “Peacemaker-in-Chief,” drawing comparisons to historical figures like Ronald Reagan and Winston Churchill and framing his second term as potentially the most transformative presidency of the 21st century.
Is Trump Still Hitler?
Clay and Buck explore the strategic shift in diplomacy under Trump, crediting his administration’s focus on deal-making and economic cooperation over religious divisions. They highlight the roles of Jared Kushner and other Trump allies in fostering relationships with Arab leaders, which helped lay the groundwork for a durable peace framework. The hosts argue that this approach has led to a rational, commerce-driven foundation for coexistence in the region.
The episode also critiques the political left, particularly progressive voices and media outlets, for their past opposition to Trump and their silence in the wake of this peace breakthrough. The hosts challenge the moral clarity of those who previously equated Trump with authoritarian figures, pointing out the cognitive dissonance now evident as even critics acknowledge his success. They cite praise from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and CNN’s Clarissa Ward, who noted Trump’s immense popularity in Israel.
What Comes Next?
Buck Sexton is joined by columnist and podcast host Karol Markowicz for a compelling conversation on the geopolitical, cultural, and moral dimensions of the peace deal and the return of hostages from Gaza. Reflections on Trump’s bold assertion that the peace agreement will endure, marking a pivotal moment for Israel and the broader region. Buck and Karol discuss the emotional impact of the return of 20 hostages, the horrors they endured, and the global silence surrounding their captivity. Karol highlights the failure of European nations to support the peace process and praises the Trump administration for its decisive leadership.
Karol emphasizes the need for a cultural shift in Gaza, advocating for a future built on peace, prosperity, and coexistence. She praises Trump’s deal-making approach and the economic incentives that could transform Gaza into a stable, thriving region. The episode includes a live segment from Trump’s speech in Egypt, where he declares that World War III will not begin in the Middle East and calls for a future free of ancient feuds and hatred.
As a Jewish American conservative, Karol shares her personal reflections on the past two years of rising antisemitism and hostility toward Israel. She expresses gratitude for the support from the political right and describes the emotional significance of Hostage Square being renamed Freed Square in Israel.
We Never Wavered
A central theme is the weakening of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. The hosts explore internal power struggles within Gaza and the role of regional players like Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey in enforcing the peace. They credit Trump’s strategic pressure and military actions—particularly the 12-day war with Iran—for reshaping alliances and forcing Hamas to accept terms they initially rejected.
