Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a dynamic mix of breaking news, cultural commentary, and political analysis. The hour begins with a sharp critique of CNN’s Christiane Amanpour after her controversial claim that Israeli hostages were “treated better than the average Gazan.” 

Clay and Buck play the original clip and her subsequent apology, arguing that her first statement reveals the media’s bias toward Hamas narratives. They dismantle myths of “genocide” and “starvation” in Gaza, underscore Hamas’s use of civilians as human shields, and stress the moral clarity of Israel’s position in the conflict.

The conversation pivots to major breaking news: President Donald Trump’s tweet summarizing his lengthy call with Vladimir Putin. Trump described the exchange as “very productive,” noting Putin congratulated him on Middle East peace efforts and agreed to high-level talks aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Clay and Buck analyze the geopolitical stakes, including Trump’s upcoming Oval Office meeting with President Zelensky, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s role in negotiations, and Hungary as a potential summit location.

Listeners also enjoy lighter moments as Clay and Buck debate accents, code-switching, and why Americans historically associate British accents with intelligence. They read listener feedback on Clay’s subtle Southern drawl and share humorous anecdotes, including a talkback about baby back ribs and a Catalina Island shark attack story that segues into a discussion on swimming at night and hurricane season preparedness.

The hour then shifts to U.S. politics, spotlighting New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum. Clay and Buck critique Mamdani’s evasive answers on whether Hamas should disarm, comparing his rhetorical style to Abigail Spanberger’s non-answers. They warn that Mamdani’s progressive proposals—such as rent freezes and city-run grocery stores—reflect economic illiteracy that worsens housing affordability and cost-of-living crises. The hosts draw parallels to California’s regulatory failures and Canada’s housing costs, arguing government overreach drives prices higher.
