Summary

Israel Strikes Iran A powerful and timely breakdown of the breaking news surrounding Israel’s unprecedented military strike on Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure. Broadcasting live as the story unfolds, Clay and Buck provide exclusive insights from their recent visit to the White House, including a private meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office just hours before the Israeli operation commenced. The hosts emphasize the strategic brilliance and secrecy of the mission, highlighting how President Trump and his administration maintained operational security while publicly signaling diplomacy. Drawing on Buck Sexton’s CIA background and Clay Travis’s recent travels to Israel, the duo analyzes the geopolitical implications of the Israeli airstrike, which targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities, ballistic missile infrastructure, and senior IRGC leadership. They describe the operation as potentially the most impressive tactical aerial strike of the 21st century, comparing its precision and scale to historic military campaigns. Josh Hammer live from Tel Aviv The hour features a live report from Newsweek’s Josh Hammer, broadcasting from Tel Aviv, who shares firsthand accounts of life under missile sirens and the Israeli public’s overwhelming support for the strike. Hammer underscores that across Israel’s political spectrum, there is near-universal consensus on the existential threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions. He also notes the quiet approval from key Arab nations like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, despite their public condemnations. Clay and Buck explore the broader Middle East dynamics, including the fallout from Hamas’s October 7th attack, the weakening of Hezbollah, and the strategic miscalculations by Iran and its proxies. They credit President Trump’s leadership and the current administration’s discipline in avoiding leaks and maintaining a strong deterrence posture. The hosts also discuss the potential for lone-wolf terrorist responses and urge vigilance while dismissing alarmist claims of World War III. Scott Jennings live from Israel Our Visit to the WH
