Welcome everybody. Wednesday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off now. Great to have you all with us, and we've got the continued confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill for Trump appointees. We are days away from inauguration day, Trump two point zero Trump, the sequel Trump Part duh. All of these things going to be occurring, very exciting, and we're going to dive into what we think is going to be happening the first week. Clay and I'll actually be up in DC fighting through the crowds, but among the people, among the people on the streets of our nation's cat.

How many things by dragging you around to that otherwise you would refuse to do. You would not have gone to the RNC, probably right, And you wanted to murder me when it was one hundred and eighty degrees and we were trying to go through security for the first day.

I wasn't gonna tell everybody, but yeah, Clay is not lying.

I wasn't gonna tell everybody, but yeah, Clay is not lying.

He's correct. It was the hottest day at Milwaukee for the first couple of days that we were there. You wouldn't have gone to that. Would you have gone to the inauguration? Can either confirm nor deny. But I was dragging Buck all over the country to big events for crowds, in festivity and for volity.

Can either confirm nor deny. But I was dragging Buck all over the country to big events for crowds, in festivity and for volity.

Because Clay is used to you know, sec football games with you know, eighty to one hundred and twenty thousand people all gathered together. He's very crowd prepped and crowd ready, and like feels that excitement and that energy. I like to wear sweatshirts and be in my quiet home. I'm not really eating pistachio ass ice cream. Eating pistachio cremberlet or ice cream. I'll take either one. So we're a bit of an odd couple that way. And I'll just say though that I am going to the inauguration with Clay and we're gonna we're gonna have a great time. So while we're standing in security lines and freezing our butts off in that DC weather, it's gonna be really I'm leaving Miami's really rough right now. It's about seventy five degrees. There's a light breeze. I'm excited to be standing outside in security lines in a suit which I never wear, getting padded down for the security of this inauguration. So it's gonna be great. It's gonna be great. We're looking forward to it. But yes, we've got that coming up. We've got let me see more here on Trump weighing in on the wildfires, Biden's last few days, including an action that he took on Cuba that's surprising some people. We've got more on that, we'll have some discussion about. I honestly think all these nominees, this is not very exciting of a news story so far. I think all these Trump nominees are likely to get through. But let's dive into something else here. We can draw up on Clay's recent trip to the region for some specifically on the ground analysis here. But the big breaking news headline right as we came on the air, Israel and Hamas agree to a deal to pause the fighting in Gaza. This is what we're hearing Isral Hamas have agreed to a pause in the fighting the Gaza Strip, according to Arab mediators, opening a pathway to end a fifteen month war that has laid waste to the enclave, threatened to spark a regional conflict and royal politics in the West. The deal is expected to be implemented in three phases, will begin with the exchange of some of the hostages held in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. Negotiators including Steve Whitkoff, president Elect Trump's does designated Middle East Envoy, along with officials from US, Israel, and Arab countries, reconvened at midday in Doha Cutter to finalize the draft. According to sources, so it's looking like a breakthrough here, Clay, What do you make of it and how does the timing play in here with the new administration coming in Trump's admit, Trump's envoy clearly involved.

I think Trump deserves all the credit for this ceasefire, and as secondary to that, everybody who voted for Trump deserves credit here. When I was in Israel last month, I sat and talked with the Speaker of the Israeli House and we shared that on this show, and he said it was a sea change basically overnight. As soon as Trump won the Hamas negotiators recognized that it was very different than if Kamala Harris had won. There was and is a segment of the Democrat left that is very anti Semitic, that is aligned with the Palestinians in their mind in the way that this was going to play out, and that made a resolution more difficult to engage in for Democrats than it would for Republicans. The details here from what I am reading and this news just breaking right as we're coming on the air, is that thirty three hostages are going to be released with a pre reference or focus on still women children. Remember there are still women and children being held, as well as men over the age of fifty and people with medical related issues. Now you and I were talking about this off air, can you imagine we're talking about coming up on five hundred days. I believe of captivity for many of these innocent people who were grabbed on October seven, twenty twenty three, so and many of them have been kept basically in the tunnels underneath Gaza for much of that time. They may barely have seen sunlight for that entire period of time. Obviously, all the bombings going on, the fact that you don't know if you're going to be a lie from one moment to the next. It's a level of basically just psychological torture over and above whatever the physical aspects of this are, the likes of which very few people have experienced in a modern era. So I want all of the hostages to come home. This is a very big focus in Israel. As we mentioned Buck, When you get off the airline when we landed in Tel Aviv, you walk down the ramparts towards the customs area, and they have all of the different placards for the individual hostages along that walkway with a demand. When you land on l Al Airlines, which is the only airline still going into Israel right now from the United States, when they land, they say, bring our hostages home. When you land in the United States they say the same thing. It is a obsession the likes of which we have not ever had anything similar in the United States to get these hostages back. And the analogy I think I gave when I was over there that I think is apropos in some respect. Imagine if on September the eleventh, when we were attacked, if they had taken hundreds or even a thousand Americans hostage Al Qaeda had been able to do that, and for over a year those hostages had been held, what would the psychic impact on America have been. That's Israel right now, and so getting those hostages home is the focus. Whether this ceasefire holds or not remains to be seen. Remember, in the North they have a ceasefire with Hesbola. But I think this is one of the most consequential results on foreign policy of Trump's win. I don't think it's coincidental that he said they'll be held to pay if these hostages are not backed by the time he takes office, and a lot of the hostages are now going to be back, what five days before Donald Trump officially takes the oath of office.

I think that this is indicative of the change of the changing of the guard, if you will, that's happening in DC with Donald Trump and his team coming in. As we've discussed, there's no contingent. There's no group within the Republican MAGA party that is favorable to or winds about the treatment of Hamas or tries to back Israel from its response to the Hamas terror attack. So that clearly changes the calculation a bit. I mean, there's no reason for Biden to have waited on this. If he could have gotten this deal done sooner, he would have gotten this deal done sooner because of the election. Obviously, it's not like this isn't a thing that you hold till the last minute. It's not a pardon that you're just doing, you know, on the way out the door. So I think that the Trump administration coming in is playing a role in this, and I think that Israel has managed to put itself in a better position in terms of its national security and national unity on this issue than at any time in a long time there. I mean you, I'm sure Clay experiences when you're talking to Israeli officials and just dealing with every day Israelis as part of your trip. They recognized that they had their nine to eleven and that this was part of the Hamas and Hezbollah and Iranian backed plan essentially make life unlivable and eventually destroy the Jewish state in whatever way that they could. And Israel has fought back valiantly against this and taken the fight to their enemies. So I think that this is look, we just we want the hostages to come home. It's a shame that it's taken as long as it has and there have been as many losses as have already occurred. But I think that you're going to see a lot of things happening early on with this Trump administration, where the response from people Clay will be wait, why did it take Trump winning and coming in for this to happen? Yeah, you know, they'll be common sense, straightforward, even on foreign policy matters, things that occur. We haven't even talked about Ukraine yet and the possibility of a negotiated ceasefire and settlement there, which is also high on the Trump administration agenda. But just remember this, These things can get done, but they get done when it's Trump and his team, and they wan able to get done with Biden and his team, And it's worth asking why that is or why it was so delayed in the case of these hostages.

Yeah. Two other things that I would point out that immediately come to mind Buck yesterday, I don't think it was inconsequential. Pete hegg Seth, who's going to take over I believe going to be confirmed, said when asked about this, I believe by Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas. What's your perspective on Israel and Hamas he said, I stand one hundred percent. I'm paraphrasing Pete Hegseth on the side of Israel. You are going to have a more aggressive pro Israeli Hawk in Pete Hegseth, and also with Marco Rubio who's testifying today, there's going to be a precipitous shift I think in the overall policy of the Secretary of State, Department of Defense, and also Donald Trump. The other thing I'll say is history rhymes, it often doesn't repeat itself. This is another analogy with Jimmy carterbuck because for those of you out there who remember this, as Ronald Reagan came into office, suddenly the Iranian hostages are released. Remember, there are still American hostages being held by Hamas that may or may not be alive, and our media by and large doesn't focus on this. But when Ronald Reagan came into office, suddenly the Iranian hostage situation was resolved. Back in nineteen eighty that had hung as an albatross over Jimmy Carter's head, and it took a new administration, a new leadership in order for that to become a reality again. This to me is another one of those echoes that suggest, hey, there's a lot of rhyman and connection between the Jimmy Carter regime and the Joe Biden regime. One term accidental President Watergate us COVID. Again, they rhyme. They're not one hundred percent analogous, but this would be another situation that somewhat is evocative. I would say of the way the Carter term ended when Reagan came into office.

I will say it's funny because I mentioned yesterday the formerly much more powerful among Democrats as a voice as reclined. He's a New York Times columnist now, but I saw something from him on X Reset is essentially saying this is the absolute high water mark of MAGA and trump Ism that everything gets. You know, yes, right now it looks like Democrats are all defeated and destroyed, but the election was actually pretty close by the numbers. Governing is hard, YadA, YadA, YadA. But I just bring it up because that's a pep talk on the left. Now, it's only gonna get worse for Trump and better for us, we promise you, because right now they got nothing, and right now there's no sense that they're able to stand to thwart the agenda and slow down the America First proposals.

They don't even have an articulate opponent. I mean, we've talked about this, and we kind of when anytime we give a nominee, we immediately get lit up. Like I said, Gretchen Whitmer, people were like, oh, you're great, but somebody has to be the alternative. I think it speaks to the weakness of the Democrat bench. We've talked about this. If Trump had decided he wasn't going to run, there are ten guys and gals that a lot of you like in the Republican Party that would have had a legitimate chance to be the nominee. And we would have thought, hey, you know what, they could be pretty good on the national stage as political figures. Who stands out and you're like, man, that Democrat. I think your Wes Moore analogy is not a bad one. The Maryland governor as somebody who could become a scendant on the national stage. But you know, Gretchen Whitmer, right now, Gavin Newsom is collapsing as they can't put the fires out still in Los Angeles.

All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. We're going to check in on the situation out in California here for a second. I have already heard anecdotally but from a number of personal friends here in Florida, Clay, that they know people who have houses on the market here in Florida that are doing showings. And I believe virtual showings, you know, so an agent kind of shows you around with the phone and people will put offers on Holmes this way for people from Los Angeles that this has already, this is already. Now, maybe this is just anecdotal, it's a handful of people, but I've heard a number of stories already. People from Malibu the Palisades are looking outside of the state because they're house burned down and they don't know what's going to happen with the rebuild. So this is and the photos I will say that the video and everything you can see of this, the devastation is shocking. It's whole neighborhoods burnt down to the cinders, and you know, beautiful homes in these neighborhoods stretching back. Some of them are you know, very historic homes. Anyway, the whole thing is so heartbreaking. And everyone who has been paying attention to this, and we've been talking about it a lot, has been looking at the state of California and saying, Okay, what have you guys and gals been doing about this? How did you prepare for this? How are you handling it? The mayor of Los Angeles getting a lot of heat. The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom getting a lot of heat. This is Gavin Newsom stepping in to show you why having the wrong understanding of economics and the wrong political philosophy is a problem. Here he is saying that he has signed an executive order to stop people from putting in what what are considered undervalued offers to buy properties that have been affected by the fire. Play it from here in Altadena.

I just signed an executive order with community leaders to deal with the issue that is becoming a bigger and bigger issue every day, and that's land developers that are engaging in predatory efforts to make unsolicited offers for properties that significantly below market value. This predatory behavior is disgusting in the best of times, and of course here in the midst of this tragedy at scale, it's disgraceful. So we're going to hold those folks accountable. I'm very grateful for the leadership here in the community that promoted this approach, and this executive order is a reflection of their direction and their commitment to preserving the unique character of this community for generations to come.

Clay This is this encapsulates that democrats never learnt. They don't understand They don't change their mind. They just keep doing the same things and failing the same ways. What is a below market value offer right now from a developer. What's going to happen here is people are going to say, hold on, it's going to take me three years to rebuild. I got to go through the insurance company. If somebody wants to write me a check right now for a million dollars for my plot of land, I want to take it. The State of California is saying no, it's worth more than that, because we say so.

Yeah, And who is the determination factor here for what is an unacceptable offer? Like the entire purpose of market based economics is a buyer and a seller. Now, if Gavin Newsom, we're saying, I'm not going to allow foreclosures to occur from a bank, for instance, because somebody's house is burned down and they're in dire straits because they're trying to reconcile what the insurance proceeds are going to be with whatever they may or or owe in a mortgage. That's rational. I was just talking about with uof Airbuck. There is a job I think for a government when it comes to quote unquote predatory loaning, right, you shouldn't loan shark laws. You shouldn't be able to take advantage of somebody, in my opinion, and get one hundred and fifty percent interest rate on a thousand dollars loan that basically is unable to be repaid.

Well, one part of this, also with credit card companies that I think it often gets left out, is you can't discharge credit card debt and bankruptcy. It's really it's almost impossible. So the government says, well, the credit card companies are going to get their money one way or another, and so the government then also has to say, we can't have you locked in at one hundred percent interest forever. Right, So so.

Most top line right now, I think credit card, whether you like it or not, is around twenty six percent and that's insane. And if you're listening to me, I don't want to sound like Dave Ramsey, but credit card debt can completely sabotage any family finances, any individual finances. Get rid of it first more than anything else. Okay, there's my Dave Ramsey would do.

No, it's a very important bit of advice for everybody out there. I've went through periods going to play. I've never run a credit card debt, but I've run my bank account down to basically zero many times, just because because credit card debts the first thing you want to get rid of as fast as you possibly can. Well, because a lot of people don't understand the concept of compound like twenty six percent, I was talking. I was trying to teach this to my boys the other day, and the idea of compound interest is one of the great benefits to any investment. Right.

Basically, if you buy S and P five hundred index funds, you hold it for ten years on average. Historically, every ten years your money doubles and you don't have to do anything with it, which is why starting young, saving money, all those things are good advice. But the idea that Gavin Newsom, who can't even put out a fire, still is going to be the arbiter of what fair market value is for properties that have been destroyed by fires, and that the government of California deserves more power economically is crazy.

He says he's going to criminally prosecute people. So you're going to threaten to put people in prison for making what they think is a fair market offer under the circumstances for a piece of property. We're not talking of people that are, you know, selling keys to a house that they don't own or something, and that's fraud, right, We're not talking about fraud. We're talking about Gavin Newsom arbitrarily stepping in to say, first of all, how does he even have the authority to do this, but stepping in to say, we will determine at some level that the offer made on this property is a criminal act because it's so much lower than it should be. Meanwhile, I mean, we had Adam croll On and you know he's been great on this because you know he's living, he's a lifetime California guy. He gets it. He's saying that it's gonna take forever for people to get the permits and get the resources and get the things they need to rebuild, because California is gonna make it all more complicated than it needs to be.

And think about and again, this is why I think California is screwing all this up. It's a good sound bite because it gets Gavin Newsom out saying I'm gonna keep people from taking advantage of you. That's basically what he's saying. The other way of thinking about this is he's gonna keep you Californians from making rational choices for your fami. Let me give you an example of how this could apply. Buck, your house is completely burned down right now in California, and we found out, unfortunately some of our team that is out there working on Clay and Buck have lost their homes. And we're going to try to help those people out through iHeart and everything else. But this is a reality, right people lose their home. You are now living in your famili's, your aunt or uncle's home with your kids, and everybody's at wits end because there's barely any room. You're in grandma and Grandpa's house, whoever it is. You want to buy a new place. You may want to leave California. This might have been the tipping point for you, and you just say, you know what, I want to start over. It's time for us to go somewhere new. You need money to have a cash deposit to buy a new home. Most places, you can't buy a home with no money down right. That just doesn't happen very often. Huge percentages And I hate to say this, but I've been reading about it. Huge percentages of people who have lost their home in California due to the cost of housing buck their actual net worth is huge percentages based on the home that they own. So you might be worth one point eight million dollars in California, and one point two of that might be the home that you bought twenty years ago for three hundred thousand dollars that's now worth a million and a half dollars. How do you buy a new home if your home just burned down, It's going to take, to your point a long time for insurance insurance payments to come through. You are financially curtailed. Right now, somebody knocks on your door or reaches out to you and says, I'll give you three hundred thousand dollars cash right now for your lot. You know you're not going to rebuild. You just want to get that money because you want to roll it into a new property. And Gavin Newsom is going to say, oh, based on prior property tax when you actually had a house, this dollar figure is unacceptable. Why should you as the owner not be able to make that choice.

My assumption would be here that you also, you know, if let's say your house is insured, will just make it easy. The Palisades houses are a lot more than this than the Malibu houses, but and probably everything in Altadena too, pretty much. But let's see, your house is insured at a million dollars, right, So now you have a house that is gone, the insurance company gone. So the insurance company is supposed to come in. Now that's a whole other problem. But let's say the insurance company comes in, gives you a million dollars, and now you have a plot of land. And if somebody comes in and says, okay, so you've got your million dollars for the loss of the house for the insurance, you could choose to try to, you know, rebuild and do the value of that, although guess what the cost of material and get in cruise. I mean, I'm here in the years I can take to get your house rebuilt. I mean our our condo board meetings where I live, it's always rock em sock em over, trying to figure out how we get contractors to even show up because there's always a better contract and they, you know, there's something else comes along. And that's just down here out Florida. In good times, there's gonna be backlogs of years to rebuild. Point here being if you get your insurance check and you have your land and you want to sell it, I would assume the people that are selling this land have a pretty good People usually know what they're you know, what the acreage where they live, what their house is worth. Certainly in these high high end areas, they will Gavin Newsom is going to say no, He's going to say, this is what the price is. The price is, and by the way, what is even the mechanism? Like do you have That's what I was saying, like how do you determine? And you said you're going to prosecute people because they try to buy land at a value that you don't like.

I mean, this is crazy talk. And all of this is occurring when the California government, both local and state.

Still can't put out fires.

Still can't put out fires.

If I'm sitting around right now, I'm like, what are you focusing on predatory pricing for houses that got burned down? How about you put out the damn fires? Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass. But the point you're making, and I think it's an important one, is do you believe that California understands the value of your property more than you do. As someone who potentially just lost everything and is trying to rebuild your life.

How is it even really your property if the state can say no, you can't sell it for the fair market price, and the fair market price is what the buyer and seller decide the fair market price is right. You know, think about this. You know, I wonder where gavinnew some things Hunter Biden paintings are worth. Maybe he should like weigh in on that one.

It's a huge deal, and I just think about it. You already had an awful situation. I guarantee you there are thousands of people out there right now who have decided I'm not going to rebuild here. I don't want to go through this, to say nothing of the fact that your house might burn down again. Buck, Do you feel good about California protecting your home after your home just went down and the fact they still can't put out the fires. I don't A huge percentage of out of those people are like, I'm out, I'm moving somewhere else. I bet if you were to look at the political donator, I mean, first of all, this is a you know, essades in Malibu. You're talking eighty percent plus Democrat area. And by the way, this is by no mean you know, look, we want everyone's house to be fine and safe.

We want everyone to get out of there. I'm not This is not a like, oh, anybody deserves it because of how they voted. I am just saying that this has gone to the donor class of Democrats in the area in the vicinity of Los Angeles, Right, these are the elites that have been hit. Usually bad Democrat policy. Crime, people urinating on the streets and doing drugs. Usually that affects people who are in the downtowns of cities or in the you know, high crime neighborhoods, which are predominantly minority and low income. Right, that's the standard everywhere all across the country. This time, particularly, the bad policy has hit people in high net worth areas who write the checks, who have the fundraisers for these politicians, and they are ticked off. And that's what I think is so different about this. Now it has been made real to people who have been sequestered from this, who have been you know, kept safe from it for a long time.

I just got a text from a friend who is a real estate agent, and she said, already where we live, tons of Californians are coming here trying to buy property, and they're just saying, I'm going with LA. I'm sure in South Florida the same thing is happening with people there. You know, if you were, if you're used to living on the beach in Malibu, you know what a great option is with no state income tax East or West coast of Florida. South Florida pretty amazing down here, no doubt. And then also Tennessee and Texas. My wife just pointed out the cynical version. Additionally of what Newsom's trying to do is keep people from leaving California because if you're not allowing them to sell their property, the tax base.

I hadn't even thought about that. Yeah, this California, you're not allowed to leave.
