  • BONUS: Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Apr 15 2025
    Apr 15 2025
    ! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: ihr.fm/3InlkL8 It's Tax Day Buck Sexton begins by sharing his personal experience of becoming a new father, expressing gratitude for the support received and discussing the joys and challenges of parenthood. This heartfelt segment sets a positive tone for the hour. The conversation then shifts to significant political and social issues. The hosts discuss the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an individual deported to El Salvador, and the legal and political implications surrounding his deportation. They explore the broader context of U.S. foreign policy and the judicial system's role in such matters. Another major topic is the Trump administration's stance on "woke" campuses, specifically the decision to freeze $2 billion in funding to Harvard University. The hosts criticize the high costs of higher education and the perceived left-wing bias in universities. They argue for the need to hold educational institutions accountable and reduce taxpayer subsidies. The discussion also touches on the broader issue of administrative bloat in universities, with a focus on the growth of non-teaching staff and the impact on educational quality and costs. The hosts highlight the role of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and their influence on campus culture. Good and Evil 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, Karmelo 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. President Trump's latest move to potentially tax Harvard University as a political entity. This bold strategy is part of Trump's broader effort to hold woke universities accountable and reduce their reliance on federal tax dollars. The hosts praise Trump's proactive approach and highlight the significant reduction in border encounters, showcasing the effectiveness of his policies. Kilmar Abrego Garcia 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. The hosts emphasize the importance of enforcing immigration laws and the positive outcomes of Trump's administration in this regard.

Ted Cruz is Intelligent & Knowledgeable

I've read Ted Cruz two most recent books and listened to several of his podcasts. He is a very intelligent man. He is an attorney who has argued cases in front of the Supreme Court and a Republican US Senator from Texas. His podcast gives you an inside look at what's going on in our nation with news you won't hear on mainstream media/propaganda companies like CNN or MSNBC.
