Hour 2 - Difference Between Good and Evil

In hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts delve into a range of compelling topics. The hour begins with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton discussing the tragic incident in Frisco, Texas, where 17-year-old Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed by another 17-year-old, Carmelo Anthony, at a track meet. They explore the legal and societal implications of the case, highlighting the controversial aspects of the defense fund that has raised over $400,000 for Anthony, and the subsequent reduction of his bail from $1 million to $250,000. The hosts express their concerns about the misuse of these funds, as the family reportedly purchased a new house with the donations.

The conversation transitions to broader themes of justice and self-defense, questioning the societal and racial dynamics at play in this case. They compare the media and public reactions to similar incidents involving different racial backgrounds, emphasizing the role of identity politics in shaping public perception and legal outcomes.

Alan Dershowitz's commentary on the case is also discussed, where he points out the racial biases that influence jury selection and public opinion. The hosts agree with Dershowitz's assessment that the racial dynamics significantly impact the narrative and potential outcomes of such cases.

Throughout the hour, Clay and Buck stress the importance of distinguishing between good and evil, and the challenges posed by identity politics in achieving true justice. They argue that the current societal climate often leads to skewed perceptions and unjust support for individuals based on race rather than the facts of the case. And why this case is not the same as Kyle Rittenhouse.

Clay ends the hour by asking how many pairs of shoes does your wife have and what number is too many?

Hour 3 - Kilmar Abrego Garcia

In hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts cover a wide array of topics, starting with a discussion on Trump's latest move to potentially tax Harvard University as a political entity.

The hosts praise Trump's proactive approach and highlight the significant reduction in border encounters, showcasing the effectiveness of his policies.

The conversation then shifts to the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member. The hosts criticize the media's portrayal of Garcia as a "Maryland man" and emphasize his criminal background and gang affiliation. They discuss the legal complexities surrounding his deportation and the political implications of Democrats' opposition to Trump's immigration policies.

AG Pam Bondi and Karoline Leavitt's comments on the case are highlighted, reinforcing the narrative that Garcia's deportation was justified and necessary for national security. The hosts argue that Trump's actions are a strategic move to address immigration issues and protect American citizens.

The discussion also touches on the broader impact of Trump's policies on illegal immigration, noting the significant decrease in border crossings and the potential self-deportation of individuals with criminal records.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Apr 14 2025

Clay Travis's critique of George Clooney's play, "Goodnight and Good Luck." Clay recounts his experience attending the play in New York City, which portrays the media's role in holding powerful figures accountable. He highlights the play's closing scene, which controversially depicts Elon Musk giving what appears to be a Nazi salute. Clay argues that this portrayal is fundamentally dishonest, as it misrepresents Musk's actual gesture of tapping his heart and extending his hand. He emphasizes that this misleading depiction undermines the play's message about media accountability and reflects the audience's susceptibility to emotional manipulation.


A major focus is the alarming incident involving Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, whose mansion was nearly burned down by an intruder. Clay emphasizes the failure of security and the increasing danger faced by public officials. He connects this to broader societal issues, including the glorification of criminals and the inability to distinguish between good and evil. This is highlighted by Taylor Lorenz's controversial comments on CNN, defending Luigi Mangione, the accused murderer of a healthcare executive, as a "morally good man."


Clay praises Bill Maher for meeting with Donald Trump and sharing his experience on HBO. Maher describes Trump as gracious, measured, and possessing a good sense of humor, challenging the negative caricature often portrayed in the media.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith revealed his contemplation of a potential presidential run in 2028. Smith, known for his sports commentary, discussed the encouragement he's received from elected officials, pundits, and even billionaires to consider running for office. Despite his lack of political experience, Smith believes his outsider status could be advantageous, especially given the current political climate. He emphasized that his decision is influenced by the belief of those around him in his ability to make a difference. Smith's announcement has sparked conversations about the increasing trend of non-politicians entering the political arena, following the precedent set by Donald Trump. This development highlights the evolving landscape of American politics and the potential for unconventional candidates to gain traction.
