You Can't Deny Success 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. A Bet is a Bet Alyssa Farah Griffin, former Trump White House communications director turned TV personality, made a bet that she’d wear a MAGA hat if President Trump brought the hostages home. Where is that hat, Alyssa? Corruption Masterclass Legal trouble for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who faces allegations of mortgage fraud tied to a Virginia property. Clay and Buck break down the indictment details, including claims that James misrepresented the home as a second residence while allegedly housing family members rent-free—one reportedly a convicted felon. They debate her potential defense strategy, jury dynamics, and whether political bias could influence the outcome, while noting her high-powered legal team and the broader implications for accountability. Eric Trump Calls In  A high-profile conversation featuring Eric Trump, discussing his new book Under Siege: My Family’s Fight to Save Our Nation, which has surged to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list. Eric shares candid insights into the Trump family’s battle against what he calls unprecedented “lawfare,” including multiple indictments, media attacks, and efforts to silence their voices. He details the staggering cost of defending against politically motivated investigations, the Russia collusion hoax, IRS leaks, and social media censorship, framing these challenges as part of a broader fight for free speech and constitutional values.The discussion also highlights President Trump’s historic achievement in brokering Middle East peace, a diplomatic breakthrough that even mainstream media and late-night hosts acknowledged as impressive. Eric emphasizes how Trump’s business acumen and results-driven mindset—shared by figures like Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff —enabled him to succeed where career politicians failed. The segment underscores Trump’s resilience, his “superhuman” focus, and the enduring energy behind the MAGA movement, which Eric calls “the greatest political movement in American history.” Make sure you never miss a second of the show by subscribing to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton show podcast wherever you get your podcasts! ihr.fm/3InlkL8   For the latest updates from Clay & Buck, visit our website https://www.clayandbuck.com/   Connect with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton:  X - https://x.com/clayandbuck FB - https://www.facebook.com/ClayandBuck/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/clayandbuck/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuck Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/ClayandBuck TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@clayandbuckFollow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
