Hour 3 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and timely discussion centered on breaking geopolitical developments, exclusive insights from the White House, and a major policy shift by President Donald Trump. This hour kicks off with Clay and Buck recounting their recent visit to the West Wing, where they met with President Trump, JD Vance, and other key figures. The hosts describe a confident and energized atmosphere within the Trump administration, highlighting the President’s relaxed demeanor and his pride in recent Oval Office renovations and a new outdoor dining patio project. The central political headline of the hour is President Trump’s official termination of the California electric vehicle (EV) mandate. Trump’s announcement, made during a press conference and emphasized in his conversation with Clay and Buck, marks a significant rollback of federal support for California’s aggressive EV regulations. The hosts explain that this move restores consumer choice in the auto market and protects the U.S. auto industry from what they describe as “Green New Deal insanity.” The repeal affects 17 states that had adopted California’s standards, representing 30% of the U.S. vehicle market. Simultaneously, the hour is dominated by real-time coverage of escalating conflict in the Middle East. The hosts provide live updates on Iran’s missile retaliation against Israel following Israel’s precision strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. They analyze the strategic implications of the Israeli operation, calling it one of the most successful military actions in modern history. The conversation includes commentary on the effectiveness of Israel’s Iron Dome defense system and the broader geopolitical consequences of Iran’s weakened military posture. A poignant segment features an interview with Yael Eckstein, President of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), who shares her personal experience of being turned back mid-flight due to the Israeli airspace closure. She offers emotional insights into the Israeli public’s mindset, the role of universal military service, and the critical humanitarian work being done by IFCJ during the crisis. Her remarks underscore the existential threat Israel faces and the unity of its people in defense of their nation. The hour concludes with lighter moments, including listener feedback on Clay’s attire during the White House visit and playful banter about Buck’s upcoming business trip to the French Riviera.
