Hour 2 - All Lives Matter
By The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
August 8, 2025
Hour 2 of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and emotionally charged segment centered around the cultural and political fallout of the woke movement, cancel culture, and the broader American cultural shift. This hour features an in-depth interview with Grant Napear, the former voice of the Sacramento Kings, who was fired in 2020 after tweeting “All Lives Matter.” Napear recounts the rapid unraveling of his 32-year broadcasting career and the lack of public support from industry peers, despite widespread private agreement with his stance. His story is framed as emblematic of the cancel culture era, particularly during the Black Lives Matter protests and COVID lockdowns, and highlights the fear-driven silence of many in media and corporate America.
Clay Travis uses Napear’s experience to underscore the broader theme of cowardice vs. courage in American society, especially among wealthy elites who failed to speak out during critical cultural moments. He argues that the Trump presidency has ushered in a period of cultural correction, where many of the excesses of the woke era are being rolled back. The hour also touches on the legal victories for President Trump, including a federal appeals court ruling that reversed a contempt finding related to deportation policies under the Alien Enemies Act, reinforcing Trump’s executive authority.
The segment includes commentary on the changing landscape of college admissions, particularly in SEC schools, and the viral popularity of sorority recruitment videos, which Clay sees as a reflection of shifting cultural values. A lighter moment features a geologist caller comparing the historical height of the Smoky Mountains to the Rockies, adding a humorous twist to the hour.
Throughout the hour, Clay emphasizes the importance of free speech, resisting mob pressure, and standing firm in one’s beliefs. He calls out the hypocrisy of those who now cheer for Trump but remained silent when it mattered most. The hour closes with a passionate reflection on American resilience, the need for cultural backbone, and a preview of Hour 3’s continued exploration of Hollywood’s decline and the collapse of the woke entertainment industry.
