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.

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.
