1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Monday edition of the Clay Travis

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. And it's a big one. A

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: lot of celebration, a lot of news. Much to discuss

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: with all of you. All twenty remaining hostages, returns of

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: the hostages who could have been returned alive. They have

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: been returned to Israel from Gaza. All twenty remitting hostages

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: alive in Gaza have been returned to Israel. Is the headline.

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: A lot of celebration on the streets, the end of

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: that war, the return of twenty hostages still alive. You've

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: also got the exchange of a couple thousand Palestinian detainees

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: as part of this process. Trump is in Egypt. He

12
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: has been pushing for not just discussions about this deal now,

13
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: but also a broader, permanent Mid East peace. He says,

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: Phase two of the peace deal has begun. We have

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount to look at now, both in celebration

16
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: and also in look ahead. Here is President Trump. This

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: is cut ten, addressing Israel's knesse It, their legislative body.

18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: This has cut ten. Listen what the President had to say.

19
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 2: We gather in a day of profound joy of soaring hope,

20
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: of renewed faith and bubble. A day to give our

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: deepest thanks to the almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

22
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: After two harrowing years and darkness and captivity, twenty courageous

23
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families.

24
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: And it is glorious. Twenty eight more precious loved ones

25
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 2: are coming home at last to rest in this sacred

26
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: soil for all of time, and after so many years

27
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: of unceasing war and endless danger. Today the skies are calm,

28
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the

29
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: sun rises on a holy land that is finally at peace,

30
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: a land and a region that will live God willing

31
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 2: in peace for all eternity.

32
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: Clay, it is just a momentous, a momentous occasion, a

33
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: huge day, massive wind for the Trump administration or humanity. Well,

34
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: the first time in my lifetime people are talking about

35
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: peace in the Middle East as truly achievable after this

36
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: massive agreement has gone into play.

37
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: I think it is one of the greatest days of

38
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: many great days in the Trump administrations over.

39
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 4: The past decade.

40
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 3: I had so many thoughts as I watched the hostages

41
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: come back, and I know many of you did as well.

42
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: I think you can start with the American side, which

43
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 3: is they told us for a decade that Trump was Hitler,

44
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: and now Trump is the most popular politician in the

45
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: history of America in Israel, probably a pretty significant sign

46
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: that that is a major, major lie that all of

47
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: us knew was being told. But I think even for

48
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: the people who've been lying about that for a decade,

49
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: it's going to become very difficult to do it going forward.

50
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: The response that President Trump got in the Knesset was

51
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: actually better than the response that he got in the

52
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: State of the Union in the House of Representatives Chamber.

53
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 4: I think that's significant.

54
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: And for a big picture take when we went to

55
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: Israel in December, producer Ali Andrew on our team and me.

56
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: We got off the planes buck we were some of

57
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: the only foreigners in Israel, and you saw these hostage

58
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: placards everywhere in Tel Aviv airport. For the first time

59
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: in two years, they've been taken down. The hostages have

60
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: come home. We went to Tel Aviv Hostage Square they

61
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 3: called it, where they had nightly protests to bring back

62
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: the hostages. I saw videos of pandemonium breaking out as

63
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: all of the hostages, the twenty remaining hostages that are alive,

64
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 3: came back to Israel and met their families. And for

65
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: all of you out there that are fortunate enough to

66
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: be parents or grandparents, can you imagine the hell of

67
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: living with your loved ones, your kids, your grandkids, being

68
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: held hostage by Hamas for two straight years and then

69
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: suddenly you get to see them in the flesh back Now.

70
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 3: Unfortunately many of those hostages were killed by Jimas, but

71
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 3: for the ones who are still alive, it is a

72
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 3: fitting cornerstone to what we hope is a foundation of

73
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 3: peace that's being built there. And Buck, on top of

74
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: everything else, I just look at this and it really

75
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: does feel like Trump two point zero is going to

76
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: be the most transformative presidency of the twenty first century

77
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: by far, and maybe the most transformative presidency since Ronald Reagan.

78
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: For those of us out there who have been alive

79
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: for the past several generations, Trump is now competing not

80
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: to me Buck in the annals of the American presidency

81
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: and where he ranks, but in the annals of global politics,

82
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: whether it's Churchill, whether it's Reagan people who were seismic

83
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: historical forces for freedom and good. And for those of

84
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: us out there who have been Trump supporters, this is

85
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 3: a day of validation that our judgment was sound and

86
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: we picked the right guy to be leading America out

87
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: of a place of darkness into a place of light.

88
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: That's kind of my big thoughts as I watched all

89
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: of this take place this morning.

90
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: Buck, if you were to lay out in advance of

91
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: an administration, what are the great things that could be

92
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: achieved that have so far been unachievable for previous administrations,

93
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: Middy's piece, almost as a cliche, would be at the

94
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: top of the list. You know, oh, Middy's piece. So yes,

95
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: everyone tries, everyone fails. I actually knew someone who had

96
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: worked in the State Department for decades and he said,

97
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: the one thing you always have to remember at Middle

98
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: East piece is everyone tries, meaning every administration tries and

99
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: everyone fails. And that was the cynicism that forty plus

100
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: years of trying some kind of a deal. Yes, I

101
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: mean stretching back to the Reagan era and the US

102
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: intervention in Lebanon and before that, I mean, I don't

103
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: even know where you want to start. This basically the

104
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: World War two era they've been trying to get piece

105
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: of the re least has been unachievable. Trump is closer

106
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: to that goal now than any administration before him. Clay,

107
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned you went and visited Israel. You went to

108
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: Hostage Square. You know, people are rightly in exaltation. They

109
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: are jubilant over the return of twenty of these hostages.

110
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: This has been something that the entirety of the Israeli people,

111
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: the Jewish people, Americans, allies of Israel, have been waiting for.

112
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: But I have to say, the sense of accomplishment here

113
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: for anyone who has been focused on this region for

114
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: a long time, the sense of accomplishment almost feels surreal

115
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: that this is the time that Hamas has accepted truly

116
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: a battlefield defeat with conditions that are supposed to get

117
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: rid of Hamas period. This honestly evil entity that has

118
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: be deviled the region for as long as you and

119
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: I have been alive. They are now going to be

120
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: under agreement, push out of leadership. This is an end

121
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: of an era of terrorism that I think is possible

122
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: to achieve now in a way it hadn't been before.

123
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: But Mini's piece was where I started in college looking

124
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: into the Middle East issue as a realm of study. Clay,

125
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: this has been the thing. This has been the durable,

126
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: unfortunately challenge for diplomacy and for policy in the region.

127
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: And there has never been a day of greater hope

128
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: and promise than this one. And there has never been

129
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: a president who has achieved more so far than this one.

130
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 4: And how did he do it?

131
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 3: I think there are going to be a lot of

132
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: books written about for generations to come if hopefully we

133
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: can have a lasting piece that continues to flourish in

134
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 3: the Middle East. I think it's by focusing on fillmaking

135
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: over religion. And some people out there are going to say, Okay,

136
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 3: what do you mean by that, Clay. I think Trump's

137
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: unique genius here was he has a great relationship with

138
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: a lot of the Arab leaders, which is based on

139
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: the foundation of we want to build new things business,

140
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 3: we want to create new opportunities through capitalism, and Trump

141
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: has those relationships. I think Jared Kushner or Steve Wikoff,

142
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: all of those guys are deal makers. They're primarily real

143
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: estate guys that have put together big deals elsewhere, and

144
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: they basically looked at Midy's peace, not through the prism

145
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 3: of always religion, not through the prism of what I

146
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 3: would say all of the sort of Swarthmore Faculty Lounge

147
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 3: animal list on the Democrat Party side would have attempted,

148
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 3: but through Okay, let's find a commonality.

149
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: We like to make money, we like to build things.

150
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 3: That's an agreement, that's a relationship that's very positive. And

151
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: upon that foundation of capitalism and on building new things,

152
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 3: let's create a durable, hopefully and lasting peace on that.

153
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: And so I think they started with that commonality and

154
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: then work towards the ultimate conclusion here, which is Hamas

155
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: has to be eradicated.

156
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 4: Buck I saw somebody share a tweet.

157
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 3: I thought it was great, And there may be multiple

158
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: people who've made this argument, but essentially, the only hostages

159
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: Hamas has left now are the people of Gaza, and

160
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: they have to be allowed to have freedom inside of Gaza.

161
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: And this is where now the management of this is

162
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: going to be so important, because you have other Arab

163
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 3: leaders who are saying enough already, we don't want to

164
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: fight forever with Israel. Let's just build a foundation of

165
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: peace and prosperity that all can benefit from. There is

166
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: a form of rationality and realism that I think has

167
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: taken root, partly based on the relationships of Trump, Jared Kushner,

168
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: Steve Wikoff and everybody out there who said, this is

169
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: not an intractable problem that can never be solved. Let's

170
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: start with the foundation of mutual benefit through commerce. And

171
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: I think that's the way Trump has approached this and

172
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 3: had a great deal of success. And they tell me

173
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 3: cut thirteen goes with this if we want to play

174
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: cut thirteen.

175
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: From October seventh until this week, Israel has been a

176
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: nation at war, enduring burdens that only a proud and

177
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: faithful people could withstand. It was a very tough period

178
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: of time for so many families across this land. It

179
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: has been years since you've known a single day of

180
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: true peace. But now, at lasts, not only for Israelis,

181
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: but also for Palestinians and for many others, the long

182
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: and painful nightmare is finally over. And as the dust settles,

183
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: the smoke phades, the debris is removed, and the ashes

184
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: cleaned from the air. The day that breaks on a

185
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: region transformed, and a beautiful and much brighter future appear

186
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: suddenly within your reach.

187
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: Clay. I've had so many people come up to me recently, yes,

188
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: but also stretching back over many months, particularly this year

189
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, to say thank you to you,

190
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: to me for this show, for standing with Israel and

191
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: maintaining a moral clarity on what had happened here starting

192
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: on October seventh, all the way through two years of war,

193
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: when some people, even on the right, some people that

194
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: I personally like and have respected their work in the past,

195
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: I think, began to see this through the wrong lens,

196
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: perhaps began to lose faith in what is a very

197
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: clear issue of right and wrong. What is really a

198
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: moral war, a just war that has been fought here.

199
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: And I've had many people, and even in recent days

200
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: that's why I'm thinking about it, come up and say

201
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: thank you for what you have been willing to do

202
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: and say on the show, because it has been a

203
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: tremendously emotionally taxing two years for a lot of American Jews,

204
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: for a lot of Americans period who have been observing

205
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: this and have been hoping that this conflict would come

206
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: to an end, but also maintaining that there has never

207
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: been a moral equivalency between the Israeli people between the

208
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: IDF and Hamas. And there were a lot of efforts,

209
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: a lot of efforts in the media by Democrats and

210
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: by leftists in this country to conflate those two, to

211
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: confuse the America in public. And now here we are

212
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was never confused. And we see that his

213
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: administration saw this with the clarity necessary to bring it

214
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: to a just conclusion or the best conclusion we could

215
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: hope for under the circumstances.

216
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll echo that and just leave you all

217
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: with a question as we finish the opening segment.

218
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 4: Here, where are all the ceasefire now?

219
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: People celebrating now that they have a ceasefire in the

220
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: Middle East?

221
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 5: Oh?

222
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: For years, college campuses all over American streets, all over

223
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: global streets, people marched in the streets chanting ceasefire.

224
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 4: Now, wouldn't you expect, Buck, if those people.

225
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: Were honest about their motivations, that they would all be

226
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: out in the streets celebrating. Instead, they're not, because for them,

227
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 3: this is not about peace. It's about hating Israel and

228
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: hating Jews, the elon Omhers of the world. They certainly

229
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: aren't saying very much about Trump bringing peace to the

230
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: Middle East because they don't want peace, they want Israel

231
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: eradicated from the Middle East. We'll talk about this some more,

232
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: but I want to tell you all eyes on Israel

233
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 3: and the Middle East today the return of twenty hostages

234
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 3: who've been kept in captivity for more than seven hundred

235
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 3: and thirty five days. I hope you watch some of

236
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: those reunions with the family. So many moving stories. Israel's

237
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 3: been under near constant assault for the past two years,

238
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 3: since the terror attack of October seventh, twenty twenty three,

239
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: and today is one of the proudest days that the

240
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: country of Israel has ever had. And I'm not sure

241
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: that the relationship between Israel and the United States has

242
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: ever been stronger. If you watched Trump's speech today, if

243
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: you saw the extreme popularity for President Trump throughout Israel.

244
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 3: This one of many reasons why we support Israel, support

245
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: the United States, and why we also support the International

246
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,720

258
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Buckle We

259
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: come back. I want to get your take on whether

260
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 3: Democrats are going to abandon this idea that Donald Trump

261
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 3: is Adolf Hitler, given the fact that that he is

262
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 3: actually the most popular American politician probably in the history

263
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 3: of Israel existing as a country.

264
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 4: And what does this look like for Democrats?

265
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 3: As Trump signs the Gaza Peace Agreement in Egypt, and

266
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 3: as the entire world takes note and is calling him

267
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 3: the peacemaker in chief, how small do Democrats look for

268
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 3: shutting down the government back here in the United States?

269
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 3: Like this is a tough spot for them, not only

270
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 3: politically but also morally well.

271
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: One of the fun things that's happening right now is

272
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 1: Trump's win here is so big and so obvious that

273
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: even derange Trump haters, I mean the Looney Tunes, I'm

274
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: one of the ones that say he's Hitler Clayer having

275
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: to say this is pretty good. It's pretty good job.

276
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 3: We'll play some of that audio for you from net,

277
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: Yahoo and others when we come back. I want to

297
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: It's a huge day of celebration for Made's peace. We're

298
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: gonna get back into that in a second, but I

299
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: don't want to forget because Columbus is a hero in

300
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: this house. Play Columbus, as Tony Soprano explained to us

301
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: so eloquently many years ago, he's a hero in his house,

302
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: and he is for what he accomplished in discovering the

303
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: new world and overcoming the opposition of really a very

304
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 1: a stone age people was what he came upon. And

305
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: things got a little rough, as they tend to in conquests.

306
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it didn't, but here we are now

307
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: in a better place as a civilization. So that's good

308
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: news for everybody and the world in communication with each

309
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: other as a result of Columbus. All right, So I'm

310
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: just saying Columbus pretty amazing stuff, and maybe we could

311
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: have some conversation here later on the show about what

312
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: the world was like early. But let's get back into

313
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: Trump and the massive Mid East peace deal. Let's get

314
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: into where things stand right now with all of this.

315
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: Trump is speaking, by the way, we'll bring you some

316
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: of that audio momentarily. But here I thought this was

317
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: really interesting. Uh CNN's Clarissa Ward saying Trump is possibly

318
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: even more popular in Israel than he is in America.

319
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: Right now, play cut four.

320
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 6: They have been cheering like crazy from the moment that

321
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 6: air Force one was first spotted making its descent over

322
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 6: Tel Aviv landing at bengur And Airport, to the moment

323
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 6: where the door of air Force one opened and President

324
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 6: Trump then began to make his way down the steps

325
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 6: of the aircraft. You heard the whole crowd here started

326
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 6: to erupt into chairs of thank you Trump, thank you Trump.

327
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 6: And I have to say everywhere you go here the

328
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 6: posters of Trump. We have seen people who have made

329
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 6: all the Fox dedicated to Trumps. Fair to say that

330
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 6: President Trump is possibly even more popular here that he

331
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 6: is in the United States.

332
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: Clay could join to just give you some of the

333
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: some of the highlights here from some of these folks,

334
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: because well, as you've been saying all along, I know

335
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: you want to jump in on this point because it's

336
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: an important one. It's bizarre for the state of Israel,

337
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: home to the Jewish people, or you know, the homeland

338
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: of the Jewish people. Bizarre that he is so that

339
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is so beloved, and yet there are people

340
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: here who say that he is Hilarian. That's quite strange.

341
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: I agree with you.

342
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, And when I was over there in December, I

343
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 3: remember having conversation with people and they said, look, if

344
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: Israel was an American state, Israel would vote for President

345
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 3: Trump more than Wyoming did, more than Mississippi did, more

346
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 3: than West Virginia did, Tennessee Alabama, wherever Trump is his

347
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: most popular in the United States, if Israel were our

348
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: fifty first state, they would vote for Trump more. And

349
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 3: so I wonder as I watched that Clarissa Ward report,

350
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 3: which I actually think underplays it because she says he's

351
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 3: probably more popular in Israel.

352
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 4: He's definitely more popular in Israel than he is in

353
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 4: the United States.

354
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 3: What do all those CNN viewers who have been told

355
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 3: that he is Hitler, what do they think when they

356
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 3: hear Clarissa Ward saying the guy is more popular among

357
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: Jews than any American has ever been. Like, it's just

358
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: the cognitive dissonance has to be off the charts.

359
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: The advantage of being delusional is you never have to

360
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: be accountable, something I discussed in my upcoming book, Man's

361
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: Good Praise in January. Thank you, thank you. But you

362
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: never have to go back and actually look at what

363
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: you were saying, what you were thinking, what reality is.

364
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: Now they'll tell themselves, well, even Hitler can get lucky,

365
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: you knowlves whatever crazy thing they have to uh to

366
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: explain why they have said that Donald Trump is Hitler,

367
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: which is it's insane on its own, an insane statement.

368
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 3: And actually, as we have been saying for a decade,

369
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: but this is their talking point, and I do think

370
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 3: it is hard for a talking point to be more

371
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 3: publicly refuted. I think we have met Benjamin NETANYAHUO, let's

372
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 3: just go ahead and put this out there, saying, Israel's

373
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 3: never loved an American politician more. Here is net Yahoo

374
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: in the Kanessa just a little bit earlier today.

375
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 7: Thank you for withdrawing from the disastrous Iron Multier deal.

376
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 7: Thank you, for supporting Operation Rising Line, and you for

377
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 7: your bold decision to launch Operation Midnight Hammer Boy, is

378
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 7: that you gotta hear this? This is the most fitting

379
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 7: name ever named for a military operation because a little

380
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 7: after midnight you really hammered them. My friends, this is

381
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 7: only a partialist, but it's enough to affirm what I've

382
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 7: said time and again. Donald Trump is the greatest friend

383
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 7: that the State of Visul has ever had in the

384
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 7: White House.

385
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: I mean that speaks pretty full full force on what

386
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: the reality is here of Donald Trump as a president

387
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: and also as an ally of State of Israel and

388
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: Jewish people. And now something else that I want to

389
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: address here, Clay, because and I understand this and all

390
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 1: the GAT veterans listening veterans of a rock Afghanistan and

391
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: the other counter terrorism counter g hottest military operations of

392
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: the last twenty four years or so and beyond, but

393
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: particularly the post nine to eleven era. A Middle East

394
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: like what we are seeing right now, with the worst

395
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 1: players in the worst position they have been in in

396
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: living memory, is the best possible future for the US

397
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: because it means that there's not even going to be

398
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: or there won't even be a need for Hey, we're

399
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: not fighting that war. Hey, we're not putting troops on

400
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: the ground in that place. It is America first to

401
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: have a peaceful Middle East that we don't even have

402
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: to think about or worry about. That we can just

403
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 1: get oil and other things from in trade, and we

404
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: can visit countries that we want to visit safely as

405
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: American citizens, and that it doesn't have to be this

406
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: royling healthscape constantly. That's a good thing for this country.

407
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: It's a good thing for America, even if you are

408
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: a staunch non interventionist. Isn't it great to never even

409
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: have to think about that possibility going forward now? That

410
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: is contingent on Hamas being removed from leadership, that's contingent

411
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: on none of these terrorists groups resurging. I know, you

412
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: have a former al Qaeda guy running Syria. There are

413
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: still problems and risks, but there's a better realistic possibility

414
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: Clay for a durable framework of peaceful coexistence in the

415
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: Middle East now than at any time in my lifetime.

416
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: And I've been following this, I mean, I've been studying

417
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: this since I was a teenager in high school. So

418
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: we're going back thirty years.

419
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and for the America First people out there. It's

420
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: really hard for America to be first without affordable oil

421
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 3: and gas, and the relationship between Trump and the Saudis

422
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 3: has ensured that oil is free flowing and that we're

423
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 3: able to effectively run commerce here in the United States.

424
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 3: We can't be held hostage by Petro dictators. This makes

425
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 3: that much less likely, which makes America stronger, which Trump understands.

426
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: I also think there's another little angle here worth pointing out.

427
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: You and I were right about the necessity of striking

428
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 3: Iran that was considered to be controversial five six months ago.

429
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: Whenever it happened. I don't think Hamas would have agreed

430
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 3: to this deal if Trump hadn't shown them the hard

431
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: fist of American power. And a lot of you out

432
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: there who are on to understand people on the left.

433
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: They want to claim that peace needs to happen. Can't

434
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 3: have peace without strength. You can't have peace without somebody

435
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: knowing that you could beat their ass if you needed to.

436
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 3: And Israel basically wiping out Iran in twelve days with

437
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 3: the assistance of the United States, I think it was

438
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 3: very eye opening for people in the Middle East because

439
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: Iran's entire leadership has based its existence on We're going

440
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 3: to wipe Israel off the earth. We are going to

441
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 3: go to war with America and we're going to win.

442
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: That's what their leadership has been telling the people of

443
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 3: Iran all throughout the Persian Empire.

444
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 4: And what happened in twelve days.

445
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: They were begging for mercy, and if the United States

446
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 3: had so does the Ayah Toolah would have been overthrown.

447
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 3: We chose not to do that, but everybody in the

448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 3: Middle East saw that power, saw that strength, and I

449
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 3: think the reverberations of that power and strength is what

450
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 3: helped to lead Hamas to the willingness to finally give

451
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: the hostages back and effectively seed control of Gaza to

452
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 3: a larger Arab peace communities. Now there's lots of details

453
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: to be worked out. Unfortunately, there's always going to be

454
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 3: terrorists who want to attack Israel in the Holy Land.

455
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 4: That's not going to go away.

456
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 3: But I think if you look at Hesball in the North,

457
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 3: I think, if you look at what's happened to Iran,

458
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 3: I think if you look at what's happened to all

459
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 3: of the proxies funded by Iran in the wake of

460
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: October seventh, they have been largely neutered and wiped out.

461
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: And speaking of neuter some of Trump's biggest critics having

462
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: to come forward, and how can you talk about this

463
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: in a negative way? You would sound even crazier than usual.

464
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: On MSNBC, as I said, Clay Midi's piece has been

465
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: the thing that people have been striving for an administrations

466
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: for our entire lives, quite honestly and unsuccessfully correct. And

467
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: I understand that there's still a lot of clock, so

468
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: to speak, left here. We're talking about an indeterminate future

469
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: and things can change, but this is the first time

470
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: that it has been, like I said, a realistic framework

471
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: of peaceful coexistence for Israelist neighbors, and also with Iran

472
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 1: now defanged, the broader Middle East is looking better than

473
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,239
Speaker 1: it has and the willingness of the Saudis and the

474
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: Gulf States to uh to be constructive with international relations

475
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. Here, it is massive the implications

476
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,959
Speaker 1: of all of this. Meanwhile, over at MSNBC, their favorite

477
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 1: historian John Meacham, who has said that Trump is a

478
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: threat to democracy. This is an existential threat. I mean,

479
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: he's along with the others, said some of the craziest

480
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: things you'll hear anyone say on MSNBC about Trump. He

481
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: even he has had to be like, you know what,

482
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good day for Trump. Play seven.

483
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 8: It's a terrific day for the hostage families. It's a

484
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 8: terrific day for President Trump for our national interests. You're right,

485
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 8: we don't know how the story ends, but stories are

486
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 8: made up of chapters.

487
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 4: But we should make no mistake about this.

488
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 8: This is a victory for President Trump and for those

489
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 8: who wish that we can govern ourselves at home and

490
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 8: around the world, not simply by brute force, but by

491
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 8: ideas and civilized norms.

492
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 3: This is a I give credit to meet him. I

493
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 3: want to see who's been Biden's best buddy, who tried

494
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 3: to tell Biden, hey, you're transformative president, you can be FDR.

495
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 3: A lot of these guys who are historians, I believe,

496
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 3: are start are going to start to recognize that they've

497
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 3: been on the wrong side of history, and that historians

498
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 3: are good at analyzing history fifty or one hundred years

499
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 3: after it happens in retrospect, not always great at analyzing

500
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 3: history in real time.

501
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 4: Remember that.

502
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 3: More on Michael Beschlos said that if Trump won, people

503
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 3: would be lined up with firing squads, and you know,

504
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: there wouldn't be history in the future. I wonder when

505
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 3: he's waking up now. Again, if you're a rational person,

506
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 3: at some point in time, you have to acknowledge all

507
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 3: of the evidence. And I understand there's thirty five percent

508
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: of America that's so brain dead that they wouldn't you know,

509
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 3: if Trump made everybody a billionaire and peace reign throughout

510
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 3: the world, they would still find something wrong with it.

511
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 3: So there's about thirty five percent of the population that

512
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 3: are unpersuadable. Their brains are broken by Trump derangement syndrome.

513
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 3: But I do think there's fifteen or twenty percent of

514
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 3: people out there that are still sitting around that are

515
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 3: having a hard time reconciling what they've been told for

516
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 3: the past decade by the legacy media and what they're

517
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 3: now seeing play out on their television screens. And I

518
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 3: think John Meacham is one of those people. Switch your

519
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 3: cell phone service from AT and T, e veraizun or

Speaker 3: a T Mobile to Pure Talk, the cell phone company

521
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 3: embracing freedom. Pure Talk stands by the principle that Americans

522
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 3: should be able to speak openly about politics, religion, family

523
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 3: values without retribution. Not everyone's always going to agree, but

524
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 3: you should be able to speak and listen to an

525
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 3: opposing point of view in a civilized way. Switch your

526
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 3: cell phone service to Pure Talk and support a business

527
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: that appreciates free speech. You're going to get Grade five

541
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,719
Speaker 1: Welcome back in to Clay and Buck. Got a lot

542
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: of calls coming in here and want to get to

543
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: your talk backs as well. Look, it's a great day

544
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: for Trump. Great Jay, for the Middle East, for Israel,

545
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: for the world, for the family of the hostages who

546
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: have been returned. It's just it's a privilege to have

547
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: a lot of good news to share with all of you.

548
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like so much of the news

549
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: business is diving into challenges, problems, occasionally disasters and tragedies.

550
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: This time around, we can actually say that the main

551
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: news of the day is encouraging, is joyful and promising

552
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: for the future. But we still don't know who's going

553
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: to win the Virginia or New Jersey governor's races. So

554
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: let's not get too crazy. Let's not get too crazy

555
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: over here.

556
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 4: And the New York City mayor's race.

557
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 3: I mean, there's always going to be fights for freedom

558
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 3: to continue for the rest of our lives and beyond.

559
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: But it is important, I think what you said, to

560
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 3: recognize when great things happen, and when arguments we made

561
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 3: on this show and that all of us helped to

562
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 3: make happen.

563
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 4: This is what I voted for.

564
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 3: I voted for Middle East peace, and I believe Trump

565
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 3: got it done. Kamala would have never ever been capable

566
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 3: of getting this deal done. I think this is a real,

567
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 3: tangible result already of many different things in the last

568
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 3: ten months of the fact that Barack Obama was right.

569
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 3: Elections do have consequences, and thankfully, so far those consequences

570
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 3: have mostly been phenomenal.

571
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: Let's take some calls here.

572
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 5: We have.

573
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: We have Mike in West Palm Beach, Florida. What's going on, Mike, No, Hi, Hi, guys, buck.

574
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 5: As I mentioned to the screener, I'm a Miami Beach boy,

575
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 5: and I hope you're enjoying living.

576
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 4: Down there and fabulous.

577
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 5: I grew up being Jewish and liberal, and I made

578
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 5: my journey over back at right after nine to eleven.

579
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 5: I want to mention a couple of things real quick

580
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 5: for your commentary from both you guys. Number one is

581
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 5: I want to echo what you've heard on the street

582
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 5: book thanking both of you for what you've done here

583
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 5: in terms of supporting Israel. And I do want to

584
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 5: say that the moral clarity issue is one as a

585
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 5: Jewish American in terms of some of what's going on

586
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 5: on the right is of concern to me. My hope

587
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 5: is that through your efforts and perhaps what Trump has

588
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 5: accomplished here in the last few months, that some of

589
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 5: those voices will see the light, so to speak.

590
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 7: Thank you.

591
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 5: As you know, currently going on in Gaza, the Maas

592
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 5: is killing people in the street. I imagine that's going

593
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 5: to continue to go on. One of the questions I'd

594
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 5: like you guys to address is how is that going

595
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 5: to be done with certainly not with American troops.

596
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: A very peace.

597
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

598
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 3: I was just going to say, there's a peace group

599
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 3: that has been put together being led by many different

600
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 3: Arab countries, of which the United States will be a

601
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 3: part of, that is designed to be a coalition of

602
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 3: both Arab, Christian and Jewish people to try to protect

603
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 3: the people of Gaza. It's a major issue going forward.

604
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 3: What he said first part, Buck, I think is right.

605
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people on the left who

606
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 3: have lost their way when it comes to Israel and

607
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 3: good and evil, But there are a lot of people

608
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 3: on the right who did too. It's important to acknowledge

609
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: that good and evil is real and that Israel has

610
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 3: been standing on the side of good peace throughout the

611
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 3: Middle East.

612
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 4: What a day for President Ruth

613
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth
