The Cost of Things Clay points out the economy is going to be a central issue heading into the midterms and beyond. He also highlights President Trump’s first year in office, praising his administration’s achievements on border security and crime reduction. Clay underscores how Trump’s decisive actions have led to the most secure southern border in decades and dramatic crime declines in cities like Memphis, where murders are down 50%, assaults down 40%, and robberies down 60%. Nashville is also seeing historic lows in violent crime, reinforcing Trump’s “law and order” success story. Clay frames these wins within the EBC strategy—Economy, Border, Crime—that defined the 2024 election, noting that while border and crime issues have been largely resolved, the economy remains the key challenge heading into 2026 midterms. He candidly addresses lingering inflation concerns, rising consumer costs, and the political implications for Trump’s second year in office. She's Crazy! Clay dives into a discussion about a high-stakes congressional race in Tennessee’s 7th District, where Republican candidate Matt Van Epps faces Democrat Afton Bain. Clay warns listeners about Bain’s controversial past statements, including her disdain for Nashville, country music, and traditional family values, as well as her radical positions on gender and policing. He urges voters in Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, and Clarksville to turn out for the December 2 special election, emphasizing that Democrats are pouring money into the race to flip a district Trump won by 20 points in 2024. Clay also tackles cultural flashpoints, criticizing Bain’s remarks about marriage and motherhood while advocating for expanded IVF support—a stance he credits President Trump for championing. The conversation explores broader cultural battles over family, ambition, and societal values, with listener calls adding personal perspectives. Ryan Girdusky Reads the Tea Leaves Data analyst Ryan Girdusky (host of It's a Numbers Game in the Clay and Buck podcast network) joins to break down early voting trends, turnout patterns, and what these signals might mean for the 2026 midterms. Ryan notes strong Democratic enthusiasm in special elections and shifting issue priorities, including healthcare, cost of living, and even AI policy, while reaffirming that immigration remains a strength for Trump despite media narratives. Where Are All the Good Men? Clay analyzes where the culture is on male and female relationships and where it all went wrong for women. It leads to a larger conversation about the difference between the sexes and how the Girl Boss era hurt women and became every man's fantasy.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in Tuesday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us as we roll
closer and closer to Thanksgiving. Buck is out today traveling
to New York City, Mom, Donny Land. He'll be in
with me tomorrow, as we will be hanging out with
all of you on Thanksgiving Eve. If you are in

(00:22):
the midst of travel, godspeed. Today is the busiest day
in advance of Thanksgiving. Travel expectations that around eighty two
million people will be traveling, ninety percent of them on
the roads be safe, ten percent of them in the
air be safe, which would be a record number of
individuals traveling for Thanksgiving. I will be among them, as

(00:46):
will many of you. We leave tonight, me and the
two oldest Travis boys to head down to Florida. I'll
do the show with you guys from there tomorrow. Rest
of my family already there, and I know any of
you probably listening to us right now have begun your travels,
so hopefully we can keep you entertained and keep you

(01:07):
enlightened and informed as well. Major breaking news expected shortly
from the White House. President Trump is going to pardon
the two turkeys. We will have that breaking news from
the White House soon. In fact, President Trump and Milania
have just walked to the White House rosterum to begin
the process of pardoning the Turkeys, an annual tradition. Donald

(01:32):
Trump Junior has already tweeted, which is very well played
that let's see. I want to make sure that I
get his official his official tweet correct. But that, let's see,
I'm pulling it up that he expects how long until
a leftist federal judge reverses the turkey's pardon.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
That is very, very funny.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
We will give you that incredibly important breaking news.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
All right.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I don't even know if producer Ali is joking about
this or not. Were you, in fact, Ali, you can
come on the show the earliest you've ever been on
the show. Is this a joke? Or were you invited
to DC for the Turkey Party? Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
No, I was.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
I got the official invite last week.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
This is real.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
The White House they they've reached out to you and said, Ali,
we love all the work you do on Clay and Buck.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
You are invited to the White House for the Turkey parton. Well,
they weren't inviting me.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
They were inviting the show specifically to come to DC
for the Turkey parton?

Speaker 1 (02:31):
How did I not hear that we have been invited
to the Turkey Party? This is a gobble and waddle.
According to Fox News, this is a big deal. So
do we reject the White House on our invitation to
the Turkey part in?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
I actually did not respond.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
This is really funny.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
How many times have we been invited to the What
did you tell Buck that we were invited to the
Turkey Party?

Speaker 3 (02:52):
I think I texted you guys last week, or maybe
I just texted Greg and Mark.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
I don't think we knew. I'm gonna have to get Buck.
I'm gonna text Buck and be like Ally's holding out
of us.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Have we get invited to so many things? And I
probably tell you five percent?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
How how I know? I mean, I'm gonna have to
fire you again.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
How often are we invited to the White House and
we don't hear about it? Has this happened more than once?

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, if it involves.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Trump, you always hear about it. But you get invited
to a lot of things.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Well, I appreciate all the invites, most of which I
never hear about. According to producer Ali, so I can
honestly say, I didn't even reject the invites. So that
is the president, Gobble and Waddle, we would be there.
Producer Ali doesn't know this. I'm going to be in
DC next week for the FIFA the World Cup. They're
having the Kennedy Center. Trump is presiding, i believe, with

(03:44):
Fox Sports over the World Cup soccer draw where everybody
finds out which group they're in. I believe there's forty
eight World Cup teams. Now, for those of you who
hate soccer, apologies to start the show this way, but
we're going to have the World Cup as part of
a mayor Is two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. There will
be the World Cup going on this summer all over

(04:05):
North America, a little bit in Mexico, a little bit
in Canada, and they are going to draw all of
the different groups, which should be really cool. So we'll
see how exactly that ends up going. And again we're
rolling on the Turkey pard in which we were invited
to which we have evidently not been able to attend.
All right, we got a bunch of things that I
want to run into. We've got the crazy chick who's

(04:29):
running for Congress in Nashville. There keeps being more and
more crazy things that she has said. We talked yesterday
with Matt Van Epps. This race is in one week
and again I'm just going to beat the drum here
because i think a lot of people don't know. If
you are listening to us right now in the Nashville area,
in the Clarksville Fort Campbell area, all the way down

(04:50):
to the border of North Alabama southern Tennessee, this likely
is your congressional district, and so the seventh congressional district
in Tennessee they have put forward. The Democrat Party has
a woman who makes AOC seem like a crazy right winger.
This is how much of a leftist, insane person she is.

(05:11):
We'll get into that a bit. Our buddy Ryan Gardusky's
going to join us in hour two. Senator Mike Lee
is going to join us in our three. Let me
hit you with this. I was thinking this last night
as I was getting ready for bed. I was thinking
about the fact that I'm very thankful for the world
that we live in right now, that I'm thankful for

(05:33):
the ten months that President Trump has had in office
so far, and all the tremendous successes that he has had.
But I was thinking back to we spent a lot
of twenty twenty four telling you that the twenty twenty
four election was as easy as EBC, economy, border crime.

(05:53):
And if you look at in the first year, and
I would give President Trump and a if you look
in the first year the border, no one even talks
about the border anymore. Do you remember It wasn't very
long ago. In the fact, that was at the end of
the twenty twenty four election cycle. Democrats were all screaming,
there's no way to fix the border without congressional action.

(06:17):
And then President Trump got into office, he pulled his
pen out, and we have never had a more secure
southern border right now than what we have right now. Okay,
so he has solved border issues. The number of illegal
immigrants in the country, probably probably over a million of
them have left, maybe two or three million. It's still

(06:40):
not anywhere near as many as we need, but there
has been a substantial deportation through ice, but also a
voluntary decision by lots of illegals to say, hey, you
know what, maybe I'll decide to go back to my country.
So the e EBC, the border is fixed.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Crime.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
I want to take some calls from some of you
in Memphis, because nobody is talking about this story by
and large in the media, but I think it is
one of the best stories that is out there right now.
Congressman Jim Jordan shared this data this morning, Memphis crime
style stats. And again, everybody focuses on Chicago, everybody focuses

(07:22):
on DC a lot to talk about a variety of different,
bigger cities than Memphis. But this is an extraordinary success.
And Memphis is a great test case because Memphis is
in a red state. Where I live in Tennessee, it's
a blue city. But to the credit of the Mayor
of Memphis, much like the mayor of DC, to be honest,
the mayor Memphis said, hey, I don't really love this,

(07:45):
but I'm willing to try to work with the governor
of Tennessee. I'm willing to try to work with the
President of the United States. There is a recognition that
based on some data on a per capita basis, Memphis
has the highest violent crime rate in the country, and
we have to do something to protect all the innocent
people in this community. And Jim Jordan, you're hearing very

(08:10):
little about this since the FEDS and since the state
started working together in Memphis.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Listen to this.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Murders down fifty percent in Memphis, assault down forty percent
in Memphis, robbery down sixty percent, very little attention. Think
about how transformative this has been for many Memphians out there. Again,
the city's not big enough. Those of you who live

(08:39):
in the middle part of the country kind of know
how this is. If it doesn't happen in New York
or LA, it's like it doesn't register on the national
media scale. Rush used to talk about the drive by
media all the time. Anything that happens in New York
City or LA, everybody rushes and covers with a fine
tooth comb. But lots of things happen in the middle
part of the country where I live, where many of

(09:01):
you listening to us right now live, and doesn't get
very much attention. And I saw those Memphis numbers and
where I live in Nashville. You know, murders are at
a sixty year low in the city of Nashville. I
mentioned this yesterday, Buck was talking about it. One way
to tell I always say this is a city safe
or not is how many young women feel comfortable there

(09:24):
If you're in a place where you drive through and
young women are out jogging around the time that it's
going to be dark, you probably live in a really
safe city or really safe part of a city. If
you live in a part of the city where there's
no young women that are ever out on the streets
anywhere near dark, where nobody's out jogging, you probably live

(09:45):
in a.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Really unsafe place.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Nashville because of all the bachelorettes, and some of y'all
probably have yourselves, or your daughters or your granddaughters. It
is the bachelorette capital of America. Why do people come
to Nashville because it's safe, Because girls can say, Hey,
we're going to go to a bunch of we're gonna
go sing on the stage, karaoke, We're gonna have an
awesome time.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
They call them the WU Girls.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Here, I'll play an audio of Afton Baine, who wants
to represent Nashville, going after them. But there's an overall
tremendous trajectory right now. The border is fixed, crime is
declining at rates of rapidity that we have not seen
in a long time. A lot of you out there
listening are police officers, and it turns out when you

(10:26):
let police officers do their jobs, and when you put
violent criminals behind bars and you keep them there, it
turns out that cities get a lot safer. I know,
go figure, it's wild. What's left the economy? It's easy
as EBC. Trump is delivered in a way that I
don't think anybody even could have anticipated. On the border.
On crime, the nation is moving towards the safest it's

(10:48):
ever been. The economy is the challenge as we look
forward for twenty twenty six. And I think that actually
underlines the relationship that you see between Trump and Mom
Donnie in the Oval office last week. What's going on there?
Why did they have a brofest? It's because Trump recognizes

(11:10):
that the politics of twenty twenty six is not going
to come down to the border because it's fixed. It's
not going to come down to crime because to a
large extent, people are starting to feel safer, and Trump
has made it safer all over the country. It's going
to come down to pocketbook issues and how people feel.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Now.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Stock market's near record highs, and so those of us
who are out there that have four to h one
k's that have stocks if you check your stockholdings. At
the end of the year, you're probably going to be
pretty happy with what the results have been. But I
come back to the thing that just makes people angry.
It is this cost of goods because Biden was so bad.

(11:57):
The biggest challenge that Trump has now as we move
into year two, and I'm going to be hammering on
this a lot because I think the White House sees it.
But this is what they have to address. Everything costs
too much. In your head, just things cost what they shouldn't.
You know how you have in your head kind of

(12:17):
running calculator if you're sitting down at a meal. I
talked about this last week. I took my son to
Subway and we spent nearly thirty dollars the two of
us on a meal at Subway. In my head, that
meal should cost twenty dollars. Everything as skyrocket I've talked
about when I take the Travis Boys my three kids

(12:39):
through the Chick fil A drive through, and it costs
over fifty dollars for us to get Chick fil A.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
It's way too much.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Prices rose so rapidly that there is a visceral anger
out there in America that crosses party lines. From everybody
that has to pull out their wallet, that has to
pay for goods in this country. I feel it, you
feel it. Things cost more than they should. That's the

(13:08):
issue in twenty twenty six, and that is the biggest issue.
I think of the disaster that was Biden. Most of
us out there, and I'll put this in my camp,
and put myself in this camp, have never seen inflation
rise as quickly as it did in twenty twenty one,
in twenty twenty two, and the cost of good skyrocket

(13:30):
as quickly as it did. Now, some of y'all out there,
you'll live through Jimmy Carter, and so you know what
that experience is like. And I'd be curious to hear
from some of you how long did it take for
those fixed cost goods to start to get used to
those prices and for the Reagan Revolution optimism in the
economy to really take root. I wish Trump could run

(13:54):
for reelection in twenty twenty eight, because I think the
answer is by twenty twenty, based on the decisions President
Trump is making, I think the economy is going to
be firing on all cylinders. Can't run for reelection. It
might be good for jd Vance might be good for
Marco Rubio. We'll open up phone.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Lines eight hundred and two two two eight a two.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
But again, twenty twenty four was about EBC dizzy as
EBC economy, border crime. Trump has delivered on border, He's
delivered on the crime, but the economy is now going
to be the flashpoint the cultural litmus test in the
mid term in twenty twenty six, and Trump's ability to
deliver on that issue is going to determine what happens

(14:34):
in the Senate, what happens in the House, and what
happens in a ton of governor's races all over the country.
We'll talk about that quite a lot again.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Buck.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
We'll be back with me tomorrow on Thanksgiving Eve. But
I've got you guys rolling through the Tuesday edition of
the program solo, and I want to tell you a
lot of you out there, we're sitting at what a
little bit over four weeks, believe it or not, until Christmas.
And I know Thanksgiving has to happen first, but then
four weeks from Thanksgiving, boom, it's a late Thanksgiving. We're
going to be right into the Christmas holiday next week.

(15:04):
We're going to be into December. Best possible gift that

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show Buck is
traveling up to New York City. We will be in
with you tomorrow. I am traveling as well, a lot
of you traveling. This is the busiest travel day of
the year, Sunday, second busiest travel day of the year,
which makes sense. A lot of people hitting the roads.

(16:50):
Ninety percent of you driving, ten percent of you flying.
We'll have some fun with Sean Duffy, Transportation Secretary giving
flying advice. But I wanted to hit a couple of
other different stories. Ukraine has allegedly agreed to a peace

(17:11):
plan they are trying to according to CNN right now,
Ukraine has asked for a Zelensky Trump meeting in the
next few days to finalize a peace deal there. That
would certainly be a huge geopolitical success story for Trump
to layer on withinending the war in Gaza. So that

(17:35):
is underway. Big race one week from today in Tennessee.
Matt Van Epps is running in the seventh Congressional District
of Tennessee. I was doing my reading this morning getting
ready for the show. It's not going to shock you,
but they are out spending the Republican in this race

(17:59):
by at least a two to one margin, and I.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Think it's important.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Matt Van Epps, West Point Grad, dad, combat veteran, really
outstanding choice. You should go vote for him. This is
my congressional district. The election itself is Tuesday, and Democrats
are trying to steal this seat. The Republicans won this
seat by around twenty points in twenty twenty four, so

(18:26):
it is a very rock ribbed red district. But they
are relying on the fact that a lot of you
are traveling for Thanksgiving, that a lot of you work,
that this actual election is taking place, and people don't
really know what's happening. So if you live in the
Nashville area, if you live in the Franklin Brentwood area,

(18:47):
if you live north of town in Clarksville, if you
live all the way down to near the border with Alabama,
this is a sliver of that region and we need
you to get out and vote. Uh So, here are
and if you're saying to yourself Okay, what could the
difference really be? Clay, this chick that the Democrats have nominated,

(19:11):
she makes AOC seem sane.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
This is how wild she is. Cut nine.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
This is Afton Baine saying she hates Nashville. This is
in February of twenty twenty. She wants to represent Nashville.
This is her on a podcast. Cut nine.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
I've been heavily involved with the Nashville mayoral race because
I hate the city. I hate the bachelorettes, I hate
the pedal taverns, I hate country music.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
I hate all of the things.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
That make Nashville barely and hate city to the rest
of the country.

Speaker 6 (19:46):
But I hate it.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Okay, babe, that doesn't seem my deal? Can we replay that.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
I don't know that I've ever.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Heard a candidate be more specific about hating a p
place that she wants to represent and many of the
things that help to give the city its character.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Listen to it. Listen to it again.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
I've been heavily involved with the Nashville mayoral race because
I hate the city. I hate the bachelorettes, I hate
the penal taverns, I hate country.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Music, I hate all of.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
The things that make Nashville apparely.

Speaker 7 (20:21):
I hate city to the rest of the country, but.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
I hate it.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
I hate country music should immediately keep you from being
able to be elected to any office in any degree. Uh,
in the entire state of Tennessee. I'm just gonna say,
I'm not amusing. I'm basically tone deaf. I know a
lot of country music singers because I've born and raised
in Nashville. Most of the time when I'm with those

(20:45):
country music singers, I don't know anything about music. We
just talk about college football because every country music singer,
at least all the men, they're all huge college football fans.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
So I just sit around talk college football with him.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
But this is the kind of air again, that they
are trying to foist upon us. She's not even trying
to hide. She's saying out loud all the crazy things
that left wingers try to keep hidden when they're running
for office.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Listen to this.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
She says, women who get married and start families are
deep products of patriarchical structures. That she never wanted to
have kids. All she cared about was power. Is this
someone you want representing you Nashville.

Speaker 5 (21:29):
Listen to cut ten the recurring dream I've had is.

Speaker 7 (21:34):
Standing up in a cafeteria full of.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
Women I don't know why I was there or whatever,
and saying I don't want children, I want power, and
just screaming at the top of my lungs. And where
I am now with seeing the consequences and the ramifications of.

Speaker 7 (21:51):
Women having kids and being in the political field and
what they're able to achieve because we don't offer. You know,
it's like the political field hasn't met the challenge of
working moms.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
They really haven't.

Speaker 7 (22:01):
But also the deeply patriarchal structures that these women are
involved with because they've chosen marriage and they've chosen to
raise children. And I think in the South it's incredibly
difficult to shake those, especially if you've grown up here
and that's all you've been told is the definition of success,

(22:22):
the metrics of success, how many kids you have, the
square footage of your house, and where.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Your kids go to school.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Okay, I disagree with everything basically she just said there,
I don't understand what you would even classify as a
successful wife if you are denigrating people who decided to
get married and have kids. Now, I understand everybody doesn't
have kids, that's a lifestyle choice, sometimes not even a

(22:51):
choice we've talked about on the program. This is why
I think and President Trump has been great on this.
This is why I think we need as much support
as we can possibly give for IVF. I give credit
to New York Times for actually writing some stories about
this that a lot of these women that thought they
hated Trump. IVF is incredibly expensive, and the stress and

(23:13):
the mental aspects of trying to get pregnant, of getting
pregnant and then not.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Knowing whether you're going to be able to carry that
child all the way.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
I feel very fortunate to have three kids, but anyone
who has gone through a challenging process of having children
to have someone say that it's deeply patriarchal and that
if you grow up in the South, then you look
at getting married and having kids and being concerned about
where your kids going to school as some sort of failure.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
This is blonkers. This chick is crazy. Now.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
The only thing I'll give her credit for is she's
saying out loud what a lot of left wingers believe,
and so I respect when you have a crazy opinion,
don't hide from it, just tell us and let us
judge it. This chick is crazy. She also we're not

(24:13):
done yet. By the way, she hates Nashville, she hates
country music, she hates moms who get married and decide
to have kids, and she also thinks men can give birth.
This is cut eleven. This is the chick that they
are trying to get Nashville to elect.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
This is my congressional district.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
So if you're out there and you're like, wow, this,
there's not very many national races still to come before
twenty twenty six, so the amount of money and attention
has been legion getting thrown in here. We had Matt
van EPs on yesterday. Tommy Larin, who works with me
at OutKick, is having him on today. Tommy texted me
on Sunday, I think over Saturday night, She's like, are

(24:56):
you seeing this crazy chick that they're trying to elect
in Nashville. I was like, yeah, we got to do
everything we can to make people aware there's an election
going on, but also to hear what she actually believes.
Because we got to wake people up. A lot of
people out there are not aware of the fact that
they have to vote. You can vote early right now, today, tomorrow,

(25:19):
I'm gonna go vote on election day. My wife works
the polls. I gotta be careful with that phrasing. She
works at the polls. She volunteers to help people vote,
And so I'm going to be going on Tuesday to
go vote.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
She'll be working there all day.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
But a lot of people just don't know because it's
a non traditional time to vote. It's December. Second, it's
coming out of Thanksgiving. If you're still in town, go
vote Tuesday Wednesday. A lot of you don't even know
what district potentially you are in. This chick aft in Bane,
the crazy Democrat, she believes that men can get pregnant.

(25:58):
This is cut eleven.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
As an organizer and as an activist, like, we really
have an opportunity here in this country to talk about
what type of policy, progressive policies we want to see
as young women, and I think we have you know,
as birth, you know, as women who can give birth,
men and women who can give birth. We could maybe
leverage that as collective bargaining, which is the basis of

(26:20):
this book that I'm not I've just started reading, but
called Birth Strike, and how we can really leverage collective
bargaining when it comes to having children in this country,
and so for example, like I'm not going to give
birth until the United States government concedes ABCD.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Like I want to pull my hair out.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
This chick should lose ninety to ten if people show
up and actually understand what she's saying. Look, Democrats are
trying to steal this race. They are out spending the Republican.
This is a Republican district. This is my district. This
is going to be my congressperson. I cannot have this

(27:06):
crazy chick representing me. This is personal wake up from
the north of Tennessee near Clarksville. A while of y'all
work and live near Fort Campbell, you may not know
this is your district, all the way through the Nashville
suburbs on the north side, all the way down through

(27:29):
parts of Nashville, parts of Franklin, parts of Brentwood, all
the way down to the border with Alabama. You guys
are listening to me all over that region.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Go vote.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
This is not a hard call. This chick is. She
makes AOC look reasonable, and she's trying to represent Tennessee.
She hates country music, she hates the city of Nashville,
she hates women, who get married and have kids. She
thinks that men can get pregnant. Yesterday we played the

(28:03):
cuts where she can we pull that cut again because
I want to play it again because again, getting people
aware this race is happening is why we're talking about
it so much. We're gonna have Matt Van Epps, the
Republican candidate, on again next week because this is going to,
unfortunately potentially be a closer race. Shouldn't be. But they're
counting on Republicans not showing up. They're counting on a

(28:24):
lot of you out there not being aware that this
special election is happening. She even got asked on MSNBC, hey,
do you still support defund the police? Do you still
support burning down police stations? And she wouldn't answer their questions.
On MSNBC, she got asked about this, I mean, this

(28:46):
is Bonker's level crazy. So I want all of you
to be aware of it again. Recognition, awareness of the
fact that this race is happening is probably the most
important thing going on right now.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Will take a.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Some of your calls eight hundred and two A two
two eight A two A lot of you want to
weigh in on a variety of different topics are Buddy
Ryan Gerdusky joining us at the bottom of the hour.
I'll ask him what he thinks about this race. I
looked at the gambling markets, you guys know, I like
to look at the gambling markets. They said there's about
a twenty percent chance that she wins.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
This is a Trump plus twenty district. It's because they
don't think that Republican voters are going to show up.
She nearly got as many votes in the primary as
the Republican candidates did combine the Democrats did. And that's
why they're pouring money in here. They're trying to steal
this district. We cannot allow it to happen, given how
tight the margins are already in the House, to say

(29:39):
nothing of on a personal level, I can't have this
crazy chick repping me. I can't live in this crazy
chicks district for any days at all.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
I told you yesterday.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
They're already writing articles saying send Clay Travis a message,
Send Clay Travis a message, Send Tommy layer In a message,
Send Candice Owens a message, Send Brett Cooper a message,
Send Matt Wall message. This is all our district they
want to put a crazy chick in cannot happen.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Look, I'm gonna brag on Bucks. Behalf here.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
He's got an awesome weekly financial newsletter if you haven't
checked it out yet, the wisdom from his time in Washington,
with the Wall Street knowledge that he and his family
have all brought to bear to put together something worth
reading each week. It's called Money and Power. Money because
he wants you to make more of it by investing wisely.
Power because he recognized how many people early in the
know were making the biggest gains before the rest of

(30:30):
us even had an opportunity to know what was going on.
The insiders always have a head start until now. That's
why he started an e newsletter, Money and Power, to
give you and every American access to the kind of
fast moving intelligence used to stay locked behind closed doors.
Bucks put together a smart team watching parts of DC
like a radar screen, looking for every policy leak, spending bill,

(30:52):
and executive order because each one can trigger a chain
reaction in the markets worth billions.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Not theory.

you move before the crowd. Right now, you can join

Wor Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. We are joined
by Ryan Gerdusky, now our gay data nerd. You can
find him in the Clay and Buck podcast network. Ryan,
Happy early Thanksgiving to you. Before we get into your data.

(32:01):
What is your position on people reclining seats on airplanes?

Speaker 8 (32:06):
Oh, they're awful. I mean it's not that hard to
set up straight like ghost like. It's not that bad.
It's awful. It's totally off. I never reclined my seat
ever since all sleep stress setting up it like, calm
down if it's a two hour flight. Yah, Susan, you
get set out the whole time.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
I now will agree with every opinion.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Ryan Gurdusky gives the rest of this interview because he's
one billion percent right with everything he just said. He
is not a travel terrorist, unlike a lot of you. Okay,
let's go into Ryan. I am terrified because this election
that's taking place next week. Democrats have legitimately put forward

(32:48):
an absolutely insane woman for the Tennessee seventh Congressional District.
This is my district, so if this crazy chick wins,
she will be my congresswoman.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
I personally cannot allow this to happen.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I am imploring everyone out there to show up to
vote for Matt van Epps. How nervous do you think
I should be one week from election day because Democrats
are pouring a ton of resources behind this crazy chick.

Speaker 8 (33:18):
So the district is a district, it's a comprom our
Congress of Mark Greens district. It's a Republican Mark Green
waned by twenty one points, Trump wanted by twenty two points.
It's pretty republican. There's two basic concentrations of Democratic voters.
That's Clarksville, Tennessee, and some suburbs of Nashville. The suburbs
in Nashville are very liberal about you know, probably D

(33:38):
plus sixty one most the areas around it, though the
rest of the state is pretty republican, almost extremely strongly
republican so far in the early vote. This was as
of just two hours ago. Nineteen percent of the twenty
twenty four vote is already voted in the early vote, right.
That's that's a tremendous amount. About sixty three thousand ballots

(33:59):
have already been cast. Of the three hundred and thirty
six thousand number casts in twenty twenty four, a lot
are coming from Clarksville and Nashville, which are the two
Democratic centers. I will say the good sign is that
the exurbs of Nashville, which are very Republican, also have
extremely high turnout. Now, the district runs all the way
from the north part of Tennessee and it kind of

(34:20):
slivers down to the southern part of Tennessee. The southern
part is very very Republican and they are having some
of the worst turnouts so far. So especially the southern
area really needs to pick up momentum and come out.
But I will say given up the Republican excerbs of
this district. I have pretty strong turnout. I think it'll
be enough to sit there and kind of counter whatever
Clarksville and Nashville sit there and throw at them. I'm

(34:41):
not that worried. It would take really a monsoon. The
district has been voted for a Democrat in the statewide
election since twenty eighteen. It's been it's pretty it's not
a it's not a district that sorry, not even twenty eighteen.
Twenty eighteen stivil as a Republican. I thought it actually did.
Twenty eighteen Marshall black Room versus Phil Bredstein, who was

(35:02):
the governor. Marshall Blackburn carried the district zero point five percent.
So no, it hasn't voted for a Democrat in a
very very long time. Nashville is going to be very
very strong about a D plus sixty eight is what
they're thinking. But the other areas, the rural areas, all
the rest of it will be probably enough to sit
there encounter it.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
So for people who don't know, because this is confusing,
and even I didn't know, and I should know because
I do this for a living. Ryan when they added
one additional district seat, the Republicans did. They redistricted after
twenty twenty. They cut Nashville into three different congressional seats.

(35:41):
So the fifth, I believe, the fifth, sixth, and seventh,
and if I'm wrong on that, I know the fifth,
and I know the seventh. I think it's five, six
and seven all have different parts of the Nashville area.
And so where I lived, I didn't even know what
district I was in until I went to go vote
in twenty twenty two, because my district had changed then

(36:02):
by street.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
In other words, it's one of these.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Rare situations, doesn't happen that often, where one congressman can
represent one street in a neighborhood and a different congressman
can represent a different street in that neighborhood. That's legitimately
how they sliced it. So some people out there, you guys,
may not know that this is your district still, because
again it flipped in twenty two. A lot of people

(36:25):
show up to vote straight Republican ticket in twenty four
Trump one Tennessee. I don't know by thirty five points
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
The heck? It was all right, Ryan, when.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
You look obviously this is one week again, everybody go vote.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I can't be repped by this crazy chick.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
When you look at the you know, we're basically eleven
months out from twenty twenty six. Any tea leaves anything
that we can look at, when will you start to think, hey,
maybe we get a sign is it some of these primaries?

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Is there anything you're.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Watching to kind of have your eye on early in
twenty twenty six? For instance, what Texas got a primary
early March twenty twenty six. When do we start to
get a sign on what the tea leaves, what the
overall voting marketplace is going to look like?

Speaker 8 (37:10):
Well, I mean, we're starting to see some things about
these early elections. I One, the intensity in which Democrats
are showing up right, these special elections, they don't necessarily
show what the overall basic baseline of the election is
going to be, but they do show an enthusiasm, and
Democrats certainly have an enthusiasm. That's why the seat in
Texas and Tennessee that you're mentioning, which is an R
plus twenty seat, is causing some heartburn among Republicans. David Shore,

(37:34):
who is a very brilliant progressive data analyst, he did
one of the smartest post twenty twenty four election analysis
there were, So he did a mid mid year You know,
what issues are people trusting voters on. Republicans still have
the advantage of trust on a lot of issues. Here's
the problem for Republicans. Because Trump solved the border security issue,

(37:56):
it is still the most trusted issues Republicans have, but
it's much show on the list of what people care about.
The issues of Medicare of healthcare are increasingly important and
much more trusted among the Democrats. And Democrats are gaining
tremendously on issues like the economy, cost of living, inflation,
and taxes and AI, which is the thing that no

(38:17):
one's really talking about yet, but it's not where Democrats
are starting to gain a lot of trust on is AI.
And I think that when that happens, when people start
trusting them on these issues and Democrat issues become a
more important issue, it's definitely going to lead to a
higher turnat among Democratic voters. So I would sit there
and say that the tea leaders have already started to gather.

(38:38):
It's not just New Jersey, it's not Virginia, it's not
the New York City mayor's race. It's not one special election.
It's all the specials, and when you have that accumulation,
you really see how the enthusiasm looks. I will say
before anyone should get excited, we really have to see
where these primaries go and who wins the nominations. For example,
most importance Center election of the year is probably Michigan,

(39:01):
not only because they have a Democratic primary and a
Republican who is very popular who's running for the election.
But the Democratic primary really pits a Bernie Sanders flash,
you know, Zora Mundanni type, rather against a centrist Democrat
who has the party backing and the money for them.
The progressive candidate, Bernie Sanders candidate who's really more like

(39:24):
Zora Mundanna than Bernie. I don't want to say Bernie,
but it's like mom Donnie candid. If he wins, it
really increases the Republicans' chances. Then Republicans are pulling ahead
not only for that race but also for the governor's race.
So Michigan is really key. But I would like to
see who is actually the Democratic nominee ahead of the
election before making any prognostication.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
This is not super serious, but it is important. This
is fun. President Trump advocated. I don't know if you've
seen this yet, Ryan, President Trump advocated for Rush Hour
four to be greenlit and hold on, this is break
hold on, this is breaking news. Paramount just greenlit it. Yeah,

(40:08):
I'm not kidding about this. Sunday night, there was a
report from Semaphore that President Trump behind It's so funny
that President Trump behind the scenes. For those of you
who don't remember, this is Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan
I'd forgotten they made three different Rush Hour movies. This
is a buddy cop with a black guy and an

(40:29):
Asian guy. Trump is evidently a huge fan of the
buddy cop genre, and he said, we got to make
a Rush Hour four. They have now agreed to make
Rush Hour four. Can you think of any movies that
you would like to see a sequel that you think
President Trump should advocate for.

Speaker 8 (40:49):
Oh god, that's a really tough question. You know, most
of my most of my favorite movies, I don't want
sequels off. So that's it's a hard one to sit
there and say which one should get a sequel.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
I think.

Speaker 8 (41:01):
You know it's been done, so they're doing so badly.
The worst is, like I love the movie Arthur from
nineteen eighty with Dudley Moore. Great great comedy, but they
made a sequel and it was terrible. So there's no
point of making a sequel with you know, his Child
or whatever, because it wouldn't be any good. That's a
hard thing to sit there and say what should be
a sequel. I'd rather see an original thing for the
first time. But I love that there's a new rush
Hour because my first my first intern that I ever had,

(41:25):
is like Chinese immigrant. The only movie he loved to
watch was rush Hour, so on our work breaks we
would go watch it like every single day, and he
texted me. I didn't talk to them in two years,
text me and said, Trump's the greatest president who ever
lives because of this Rush Hour movie. So I'm very
gung ho on rush Hour. But I can't eaven anything.
I would sit there and say, you have to make
a sequel of I.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Want everybody hold on, sorry, cut you off. I want
everybody to give me your talkbacks. Producer Ali just had
a great one. She wants a sequel to The Lost Boys.
I this is a great idea. I don't want to remake.
I want to know what happened to Starr. I want
to know what happened to the shirtless saxophone player? Is
he still ripped? Can he still be the shirtless saxophone player?

(42:09):
This is very specific because I told everybody a couple
of years ago, Ryan, one of the great things about
being a dad is getting to show your kids all
of the all of the movies that you grew up
watching in the eighties and nineties and having them realize
realize how awesome they are. I've got one. Is there
a play? I know he's not healthy one hundred percent?

(42:30):
Is there Back to the Future play? Is there is
there another Back to the future out there that could
make sense? I? One, two and three, One and two
were amazing, three a little bit. If he we know
what happened with Indiana Jones, we know what happens with
Star Wars. But is there what movies would you like
President Trump to advocate since he's solving everything.

Speaker 8 (42:50):
I just thought, what was the Matt Damon Leonardo DiCaprio
movie with the Departed, one with just Matt Demon's character
who lives because I DiCaprio diizement, But that I would actually.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Spoiler alert, Ryan, there's people out there right now like Hey,
you know what I'm gonna do. I'm finally out of work.
I'm gonna sit and I'm gonna watch The Departed and.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
Twenty years ago.

Speaker 8 (43:09):
If we haven't watched now, I don't know what to
do for you.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
What else Ryan is out there that we should know?
There was a Back to the Future Broadway show that
it closed.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
I did.

Speaker 8 (43:22):
It was awful.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Yeah, I know, there's a Stranger Things Broadway show. I
went and saw the Harry Potter Broadway Show that was
actually really good. What else should we know? From your perspective?
He is Ryan Gardosky, He's with a numbers game. What
else should we know?

Speaker 8 (43:38):
So the one thing you should know is that there's
this big commentary in the media right now, and it's
completely a lie that President Trump's immigration policies are the
reason that he's having problems with Hispanics. It is not true.
It is not true in any way, shape or form.
When they sat then they pulled Hispanics. This is right
after This is an Equis poll right after the elections

(43:58):
in New Jersey and Virginia. Top issues going into it
for Hispanics, immigration didn't make the top five. Then they
did a poll by it was the Kaiser Family Foundation
and the New York Times came up the poll specifically
on Hispanics, breaking them down by immigration status citizens naturalize
here illegally or undocumented or illegal rather, and they ask

(44:20):
them how he's doing on things like deep mass deportations
basically legal immigrants and naturalized Hispanics, And second Hunty's Hispanics
are where the entire country is an immigration which is
one of Trump's still his best issues. They've not swung
heavily against him on things like mass deportations. It's and
they don't like some of the mass agents, but they

(44:40):
don't they like the idea of deporting illegal aliens who
are not here. The only thing is it's the economy
the communists with sinking him right now with all these voters,
immigration is not the issue that is moving them. It
is the economy right now.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Last question, another important one, what is your top draft
pick on Thanksgiving meals?

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Is?

Speaker 2 (45:00):
What would you go to first? Your number one pick
for food?

Speaker 8 (45:04):
Yeah, I'm not I'm not a big Turkey person. I
really prefer ham on Thanksgiving and that's probably sacriligious, but
I'm not a huge Turkey person.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
I don't think that's a bad idea. I like that
you went food because were you going to say alcohol?
Was that your first draft?

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Pick?

Speaker 9 (45:18):
No?

Speaker 8 (45:18):
Now when I my family doesn't drink.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
So I one how you make it through by myself?

Speaker 8 (45:23):
I do eat? Yeah, I know, I'm I'm I et
my calories over drinking. I'm not washed. See if I
was waspy, I would be drinking. But I'm asthenic, so
I eat like that's the difference. If you're a wap
There's no food in Thanksgiving, It's just different versions of alcohol.

Speaker 1 (45:36):

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Welcome in our number three.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Let's have some fun as we roll closer to Thanksgiving
with many of you out there. Beginning the process of traveling.
Buck is traveling to New York City to be with
his family. I will be traveling soon to be with
my family as well. Many of you out there will
be traveling and having to deal with travel terrorists who
recline their seats in front of you, render your otherwise

(47:45):
hospitable trip miserable.

Speaker 8 (47:48):
We'll have.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
This story is just breaking. This is Jack Posobic, who
I believe is at turning point. There are text leaking
We always have the text leaking stories. This is one
that actually proves that many of us are completely sane,
and that lots of Democrats know how crazy their party
has become.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
We're talking about Afton Bane and all that.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Ruben Gego is a senator from Arizona.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
This is leaked again and again.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Let me just say this, I don't like the concept
of texts leaking in general. No matter who you are
out there, you are texting with people. It doesn't feel
fair to me when you are texting for a private
audience that the text go public, unless it's just like

(48:41):
the Jay Jones stuff where it's like I want my
political opponents to be murdered.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
It's like, Okay, this.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
I think may have gotten leaked intentionally by Ruben Diego's
team because it actually makes me like him more so.
In general, anti text link leak edge. But here's what
he say. He's talk about how the Democrat Party has
lost its way. We look, this is Ruben Diego, Senator
from Arizona. According to the Jack Pasobic League, we look

(49:08):
like the not fun party, always telling and correcting people,
not allowing men to be men, women to be hot.
We used to be the party of sex, drugs and
rock and roll. Now dim women look like dem men
and dim men look like women. He's not wrong, uh,

(49:31):
And it'll be interesting to see how much heat he
gets for this.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Again.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
I think he may have leaked to this because I
think there's a world where he believes that there is
going to be a lane for sanity in the Democrat Party.
And there have been rumors that Ruben Diego might decide
to run for president in twenty twenty eight. Every Democrat

(49:56):
on the planet basically is going to be running for
president in twenty twenty eight. Okay, I have promised that
I would get to your calls. A ton of you
are waiting. You can also always hop in the talkback
community Christy uh for I think Christy, you called in Utah.
According to the team, you were trying to get a
job in HR. How has that been going? Is Christy

(50:22):
with us?

Speaker 8 (50:23):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Yeah? We got you?

Speaker 9 (50:26):
Okay? All right, ill what's for me? So did John
Market sucks? I can give you a quick update if
you want the will do it yesterday if you checked
that out LinkedIn because nurses all over the country are
piste because of the reputification from professional to deprofessional. But
the reason they did that is because of the long

(50:47):
nurses take out so many wings and they take so
long to pay back. So there's a lot of misinformation
going on out there and nurses. So that's it's hot.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Are we on? Do you have us on? Do you
have us on speed? Christy?

Speaker 9 (51:02):
No, you're on my canny.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Can you just talk to us into the phone itself.
I think we'll be able to hear you a little
bit better, Yes, I think. Okay, Yeah, we've got you. Okay.
So you wanted to say a lot of women are single,
not by choice because guys suck.

Speaker 9 (51:22):
Yes, okay, So here is here's the deal. There's a
lot of us who are decent women, and there was
a period of time where it came out and dating
just stopped. So the numbers of women compared to the
amount of men, Like, there's just more women options. So
guys started becoming very picky, very selective. And I'm not

(51:45):
saying you shouldn't be, but I don't know what it is.
But there was a point where there were a lot
of women that were just being overlooked. So it's not
that they didn't want to get married, they didn't want
to have kids, but it takes two people to have
that happen. So I feel like there's a different sight
to this, and guys have to bear some responsibility because

(52:06):
there are a lot of single, average looking guys and
who you know, don't have a decent career or whatever,
who are holding out for something just unrealistic. And I
don't know where that came from.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
Okay, thank you for the call. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Look, I wrote a lot about this in my book,
and I get it because I hear from single women
all the time.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
To be fair, some of you are in your eighties.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
I bet when you were in your twenties, women were
complaining that there were no good men around. Like to
have some fun here. I guarantee you guys finished storming
the beaches of Normandy, fighting Nazis and they came back
to the United States and women were like, there's just
no good men around. And the soldier I just killed

(53:00):
Hitler with my bare hands.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
I was fighting the Nazis all over France, all over Germany.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
And I come back to the United States and all
the girls back in the States are like, oh, there's
just no good men.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
We can't fight. They just beat the Nazis. They're the
greatest generation of all time, all right.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
So I do think there probably have always been women
complaining that there aren't enough good men. I don't hear
that many men complain that there aren't enough good women.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Has that been a trend for a long time.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
I think that the sexes are different now because a
lot of guys are afraid of approaching girls. This is
like the Bill Ackman thing that we talked about last week.
May I speak to you or may I meet you?
I think was what he said. I think because people
live on their phone so much. I think a lot
of guys out there. I got three boys, so I

(54:01):
certainly understand this world. I think a lot of guys
get on their phone and they send like sixty dms
to girls on Instagram and just wait to see who's
gonna bite. And I think that girls are used to
being chased, and I think men have never had it
easier than right now. In fact, and I write about

(54:21):
this in the book. If you went back in time
to nineteen sixty two and you told a single guy
in nineteen sixty two, right, some of you out there
listening were, in fact single.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
In nineteen sixty two.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
If you said, hey, in the future in twenty twenty five,
guys are gonna be able to have sex with almost
no commitment. You're not even gonna have to take girls
out to dinner. You're gonna be able to just get
on your phone, which now is mobile, and you're gonna

(54:59):
be able to send a message to sixty different girls
you up, where are you at now, not even using
basic grammatical correctness, and you are going to be able
to have abundant women respond to that, and you are
going to be able to have completely no strings attached sex.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
With many of them. Would that be a world.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
That single men in nineteen sixty two had wanted, or
a world in nineteen sixty two that single women had wanted.
My point here, I think a lot of women, through
the guys of female empowerment have actually ended up signing
up for what every single man in the nineteen sixties

(55:46):
would have dreamed of. Unlimited buffet of sex, limited commitment,
almost no restrictions for male sexual appetite at all. Is
that really women's empowerment? If men get everything they ever
wanted as single men, and it's being sold to women

(56:08):
as go, girl, this is your world now, girl Boss era.
I don't really blame men. I mean men are getting
It's really funny. It's really funny, and I'm trying to
address it in a comedic way because I know some
of the women out there are like crying, and some
of you have daughters and granddaughters, and you're like, hello,

(56:31):
and they're probably gonna clip this and they're gonna, you know,
they're gonna come after me. Do you remember the era
of shotgun weddings?

Speaker 2 (56:39):
People are like, oh, you.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
Know that guy, he got her pregnant and dad showed
up with a shotgun. And now they're getting married, and
people are like, boy, you know, it's good that we
moved on from that. You know, the concept of a
shotgun marriage was if you get a woman pregnant, you
have an obligation to help raise the child, even potentially

(57:01):
marrying the woman, and the dad's gonna show up and
he's gonna shoot you if you don't do it, because
you numbnuts. You put yourself in this position. And we're
not just gonna make a woman raise a baby by
herself and let the guy run off into the world
and not have to deal with the responsibilities or obligations
that he's helped to create. That was like nineteen fifties,

(57:25):
nineteen sixties, men had real obligations, and we've created this
world where women have been convinced that all of their
choices actually fulfill every male fantasy from the nineteen sixties

(57:46):
and certainly the nineteen forties and nineteen thirties. You don't
even have to buy a girl a meal. All you
gotta do is send a drunk Instagram DM and girls
are just chasing boys. Is it any wonder that people
aren't coming together because girls are being sold Hey, you

(58:09):
should have masculine sex drive, and.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
Men are like, why would I? Why would I?

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Why would I step away from the buffet. I've got
unlimited options with virtually no commitment. That doesn't seem like
an ideal world to women. Now again, this is going
into the biology. It doesn't add up right.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
Women.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
Sorry, if you need to share this, Glaye Travis does
Birds and the Bees, you can clip it and share
it with your kids. Women have a limited number of
eggs that they produce in their lifetime. They should be
selective in who they choose to reproduce with because they
have a limited number of children that they could produce

(58:54):
in their life. Men were like a machine gun, just
fine off in every direction. Men like, go, look at
what gay dudes do. When I was in college, they
had a huge scandal on campus because one of the bathrooms,

(59:16):
gay dudes just were showing up and banging each other
like crazy in there.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
That doesn't happen in the women's bathroom.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
There's never been a scandal on a college campus ever
where it's like, hey, a bunch of chicks are showing
up in a bathroom.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
And just going to town on each other. It doesn't happen.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
By the way, they make movies about that, they tend
to do pretty well because men like the idea. The
sexes are very different. Men are often stupid. They don't
want to commit. They want to fire off in every direction.
You tell a guy there's an orgy in a bathroom,
A bunch of dudes are showing up, chicks are all right.

Speaker 2 (59:59):
What if you you went.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
Back in time when Playboy magazine was first created, when
Hugh Hefner was like, hey, I got this idea, Marilyn Monroe,
take your top off.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
Men are gonna buy this magazine like crazy. He was right.
Nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
The sexual revolution that was created actually is just every
male fantasy fulfilled, and women have signed onto it thinking
that it's the girl boss era. And guess what, a
lot of you are looking around like, hey, this is
not actually that great for us. Men see us as disposable.

(01:00:37):
They won't commit to us, and as a result, everybody's angry.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
And by the way, it doesn't actually.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
Work that well for most guys, because most guys don't
have a cornucopia of options. The rich guys do, the
tall guys do, the good looking guys do, the quarterbacks do.
But the guys that are further down on the float
chart they can't a girl because the girls all want
the exact same guy. I actually disagree with the caller.

(01:01:07):
I think men have lower standards for women than women
do for men. Does that make sense. I think there's
always a guy who will be attracted to a girl.
I think that most women want the same thing. Not
to say they won't settle. Heck, I've been married for
twenty years, but I don't think my wife got the

(01:01:28):
greatest draw of all time. Let's be honest. But most women,
they're like, I want a guy who's six foot tall.
I want a guy with hair. I want a guy
who makes six figures. Right, most women desire the same thing.
Why do they want that? Stability? Security? That actually makes
sense biologically? Right? A five 't two hundred and twenty

(01:01:48):
pound dude? Sorry, who's bald? Sorry if that's you right now,
I'm not trying to take a personal shot at you.
Most women or not, that's the man that I want
to spend the rest of my life with. Most there's
some maybe, hopefully anyway, there is my solution to the world.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
Just think about it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
I don't hear very many people pointed out, but what
has been sold as female empowerment is actually every man's
sexual fantasy from the nineteen fifties and nineteen sixties in
real life today. And don't even get me started on
you know these guys who go to college campuses now
for tailgates.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Look at old guys.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
Girls are running around what they're wearing on campus. They
can't even believe that this world exists. It really is
a buffet for single men with no actually restrictions on
their behavior at all. And it's not a surprise to
me that a lot of women are looking around and saying,
wait a minute, is this.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
Is this actually a good spot?

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
Why can we not get a man to commit because
he's got a phone in his hand and he can
text sixty girls simultaneously and one of them is going
to respond. The buffet is always open, and it's not
actually that beneficial for.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
Most young women. That's my theory. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe
I'm an old guy. I got no idea.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
I wrote about it some in the book, but in
all seriousness, I do sit around and think about it,
because ultimately, if people are not having kids, if men
and women are not coming together and they're not happy,
then we're in a really tough spot. And that's what
you're seeing is the number of kids in America is plummeting.
And by the way, left wing chicks who are the

(01:03:24):
most into women's empowerment, none of them are having kids.
It's like the crazy Aft and Bain chicks. She even
looks down on people who get married. You want to
save some money, Pure talks a great way to save
some money. All you have to do is go right
