Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show, Hamas, and Israel reaching a hostage negotiation deal that would be a ceasefire that would lead to the release of 33 hostages.

We will see how this continues to play out. Credit for a ceasefire emerging to Donald Trump. We will see how all of this

continues and we'll take your calls and react to that. We've broken that down in the first hour.

We're talking about the challenges in L.A. The number of people that are finally going to say,

Buck, I'm done in California because they're looking around and they're saying, L.A. can't even put out fires.

result become even more inefficient become even more in debt in Hock because

state budgets have to typically be balanced.
