Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into a packed lineup of political and cultural topics, starting with the Thanksgiving travel surge and moving into major geopolitical developments. Clay highlights breaking news that Ukraine is seeking a peace deal and a meeting between President Donald Trump and President Zelensky, signaling a potential historic diplomatic win for Trump following his efforts to end the Gaza conflict. The hour then shifts to 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. Later in the hour, 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. The segment closes on a lighter note with entertainment news: President Trump reportedly pushed for “Rush Hour 4” to be greenlit, sparking a fun discussion on movie sequels and Broadway adaptations like The Lost Boys. Clay and Ryan wrap up with Thanksgiving talk, including favorite holiday dishes.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, I'm Clay Travis and I'm Buck Sexton.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
You know what we're thankful for this year, all of you.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
That's right, we have the best radio audience in the country,
hands down. Sending a big, warm and happy Thanksgiving from
the Clay and Buck Show. 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
(00:26):
busiest travel day of the year, Sunday, second busiest travel
day of the year, which makes sense. A lot of
people hitting the roads. 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
(00:49):
a couple of other different stories. Ukraine has allegedly agreed
to a peace 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
(01:10):
deal there. That would certainly be a huge geopolitical success
story for Trump to layer on withinending the war in Gaza.
So that is underway. Big race one week from today
in Tennessee. Matt Van Epps is running in the seventh
(01:33):
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 by at least a two to one margin,
and I.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Think it's important.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Matt Van Epps, West Point grad dad, combat veteran, really
outstanding choice.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You should go vote for him.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
This is my congressional disc 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 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,
(02:22):
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,
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
(02:46):
you to get out and vote. 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,
she makes AOC seem sane.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
This is how wild she is. Cut nine.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
This is Afton Bain 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 3 (03:17):
They'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, I hate all
of the things that make Nashville. Fairly, I hate city
to the rest of the country.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
But I hate it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Okay, babe, that doesn't seem my deal? Can we replay that.
I don't know that I've ever.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Heard a candidate be more specific about hating a place
that she wants to represent and many of the things
that help to give the city its character.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Uh, listen to it. Listen to it again.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Been heavily involved with the Nashville mayoral race because I
I hate the city. I hate the bachelorettes, I hate
the pedal taverns. I hate country music, I hate all
of the games that make Nashville barely and hate city
to the rest of the country.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I hate country music should immediately keep you from being
able to be elected to any office in any degree
in the entire state of Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I'm just gonna say, I'm not amusing. I'm basically tone deaf.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
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 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 (04:41):
So I just sit around and talk college football with them.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
But this is the kind of arrogance that they are
trying to foist upon us.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
She's not even trying to hide.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
She's saying out loud all the crazy things that left
wingers try to keep hidden when they're running for office.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
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. Listen to cut ten.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
The recurring dream I've had is.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Standing up in a cafeteria full of.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
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 women having kids and being in the political field
and what they're able to achieve because we don't offer.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
You know, it's like the political field hasn't met the
challenge of working moms.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
They really haven't.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
But also the deeply patriarchal structures that these women are
involved with because they've chosen.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Marriage and they've chosen to raise children.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
And I think in the South it's 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,
the metrics of success, how many kids you have, the
square footage of your house, and where your kids go
to school.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
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 choice.
(06:38):
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 the mental
(07:00):
aspects of trying to get pregnant, of getting pregnant and
then not knowing whether you're going to be.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Able to carry that child all the way.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
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 kid's going to school as some sort of failure.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
This is blonkers. This chick is crazy. Now.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
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 were not
(07:59):
done yet 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 (08:19):
This is my congressional district.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
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 Epps 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 was like,
(08:42):
are 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
(09:03):
today tomorrow. I'm gonna go vote on election day. My
wife works the polls. I gotta be be careful with
that phrasing. She works at the polls. She volunteers to
help people vote. And so I'm gonna be going on
Tuesday to go vote. She'll be working there all day.
(09:23):
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.
(09:44):
This is cut eleven as.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
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
as birther you know, as women who can give birth,
men and women who can give birth. We can maybe
leverage that as collective bargaining, which is the basis of
(10:06):
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 (10:27):
Like I want to pull my hair out.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
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
(10:52):
crazy chick representing me. This is personal wake up from
I'm the north of Tennessee near Clarksville. A lot 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
(11:15):
through 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 (11:27):
Go vote. This is not a hard call. This chick is.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
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
cuts where she can we pull that cut again because
(11:51):
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 Canada It on again next week because this is
going to, unfortunately potentially be a close race. Shouldn't be,
but they're counting on Republicans not showing up. They're counting
on a lot of you out there not being aware
(12:12):
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 is Bonker's level crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
So I want all of you to be aware of
it again.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Recognition, awareness of the fact that this race is happening
is probably the most important thing going on right now.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
We'll take some of your calls.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Eight hundred and two A two to 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 (13:02):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
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 combined 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
(13:25):
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. I told you yesterday.
They're already writing articles saying send Clay Travis a message,
Send Clay Travis a message, Send Tommy lair In a message,
Send Candice Owens a message, Send Brett Cooper a message,
Send Matt Walsh a message.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
This is all our district. They want to put a crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Chick in cannot happen. Look, I'm gonna brag on Bucks.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Behalf ere.

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
(14:16):
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,
(14:39):
and executive order because each one can trigger a chain
reaction in the markets worth billions.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Not theory.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Wor Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show, Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. ROBERTA down in
Florida wants to weigh in on the afton Vain take.
Let me just say this. I do think this is
a big cultural battle that's going on right now over
what should you aspire to? Should you aspire to and
(15:49):
what the ideal scenario is. You can do a lot
of different things, but should you aspire to a childless
life of material success some people want that? Or should
you aspire to raise children and try to impart upon
them the wisdom of your time. This apt in Bainchick,
and there are a lot of them in the Democrat
(16:10):
party right now. They actually look with contempt upon mothers. ROBERTA.
You want to weigh in on that you're from Florida.
What was your reaction?
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Well, quite honestly, I tear up when I hear this.
I'm a mother of four. I'm very blessed. I have
four wonderful children. Of course I'm all for you know,
I was raised in the patriarchal I feel blessed that
I was raised that way. I feel blessed that, you know,
I wanted to go on and have a family and
(16:40):
have children. And it just when I hear her talking
and to think that she wants to get into public office,
it's scary. It's very scary. But you know, you everybody
has the right to feel and do it. You know,
I'm not against people that don't want children. I don't
believe everybody should have children, but to go to the
other extreme, and you know, that's why what a tragic
(17:05):
thing that, you know, Charlie Kirk was assassinated because all
he was trying to do was to bring those lost
kids back the other way, you know, like bring them
you know, reel them back in, you know, and and anyway.
That's that's just it. I just I almost want to
say keep it coming, because the crazier they've become, the
(17:28):
more chance I'm hoping that we have to keep the
country going in the right direction.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Well, thank you for the call, ROBERTA. Have a good
Thanksgiving with those four kids. I think there's a difference
between you can choose whether or not you want to
have kids, everybody has that right, and having contempt for
people who have chosen to have children, and then to
go the next step and say I don't want kids,
I want power. I'm sorry. The people that I want
(17:56):
to have power, as a general rule, tend to be
parents and grandparents. Because you're trying to think, that's what
I think about every day, how do I make the
world better for the people who are younger than me,
who are coming along behind me. If you're just nakedly
ambitious for power, you're not going to make the right
(18:17):
choices for the country. And if you're ridiculing people who
are choosing to have children, I don't think you should
be anywhere near Capitol Hill. Heck, I don't think you
should be anywhere near the state House. I think the
people who put her in the State House have actually
failed East Nashville.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
This is on you, morons.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
When the Russia Ukraine War broke out over three years ago,
no one imagined all the destruction, death and hardship. At first,
a lot of nonprofit organizations made Ukraine their priority, rightfully so.
Then on October seventh, twenty twenty three, we saw what
happened when Hamas invaded Israel and killed twelve hundred innocent
(18:55):
Israelis and captured two hundred and fifty hostages. A lot
of you stepped up and fought back to try to
protect the people of Israel, and many of you, including
Buck and me, are still doing that. Join your your

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
(19:39):
early Thanksgiving to you. Before we get into your data,
what is your position on people reclining seats on airplanes?
Speaker 8 (19:48):
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 offul. I never reclined my seat ever.
A sleep stress sending up it like, calm down. If
it's a two hour flight, Yah, Susan, you get set
out the whole time.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I now will agree with every opinion. 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
(20:26):
place next week. Democrats have legitimately put forward 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. I personally cannot allow this to happen.
I am imploring everyone out there to show up to
(20:48):
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 (21:00):
So the district is a district's a compromur Congress of
Mark Green's district. It's a Republican Mark ran one of
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
of Nashville are very liberal, about probably d plus sixty
(21:21):
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 have
(21:42):
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 slivers down to the
(22:03):
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 exerbs of this district. I had 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 not that worried. It would take really
(22:26):
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,
it's not even twenty eighteen, twenty eighteen still as a Republican.
I thought it actually did. Twenty eighteen Marshall black Room
versus Phil Bredstein, who was the governor. Marshall Blackbirom carried
the district yo point five percent. So no, it hasn't
(22:48):
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 and counter it.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
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.
(23:23):
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, sixth,
and seven all have different parts of the Nashville area.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
And so where I lived.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
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 by street. In other words,
it's one of these 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.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
That's legitimately how they sliced it.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
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 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 (24:13):
The heck?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
It was all right, Ryan, when you look obviously this
is one week again, everybody go vote. I can't be
repped by this crazy chick. 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
(24:35):
sign is it some of these primaries? Is there anything
you're 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 (24:52):
Well, I mean, we're starting to see some things about
these early elections. I won, the intensity in which Democrats
are showing up right, the special elections, and 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.
(25:16):
David Shore, 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
(25:36):
the border security issue, it is still the most trusted
issues Republicans have, but it's much lower on the list
of what people care about. The issues of Medicare of
healthcare are making increasingly important and much more trusted among Democrats,
and Democrats are gaining tremendously on issues like the economy,
cost of living, inflation, and taxes and AI which is
(25:58):
the thing that no one's really talking about, ye, but
it's 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. It's not just New Jersey, it's
(26:21):
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 in an
election of the year is probably Michigan, not only because
(26:44):
they have a Democratic primary and a Republican who's very
popular who's running for the election. But the Democratic primary
really pits a Bernie Sanders flash you Zora Mundani type,
rather again a centrist Democrat who has the party backing
and the money for them, the progressive candidate, the Bernie
(27:04):
Senters candidate who's really more like Zora man Dinna than Bernie.
I don't want to say Bernie, but it's like mom,
Donnie Cannet. If he wins, it really increases the Republicans' chances,
and 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 was actually the
Democratic nominee ahead of the election before making any prognostication.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
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.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Four to be greenlit.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
And hold on, this is break hold on, this is
breaking news. Paramount just greenlited. Yeah, 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
(28:07):
Rush Hour movies. This is a buddy cop with a
black guy and an Asian guy. Trump is evidently a
huge fan of the buddy cop genre, and he said,
we got to make a Rush Hour four.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
They have now agreed to make Rush Hour four.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Can you think of any movies that you would like
to see a sequel that you think President Trump should
advocate for.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
Oh god, that's a really tough question. You know, most
of my most of my favorite movies, I don't want
sequels up. So that's it's a hard one, is that
there to say which one should get a sequel? I think, yeah,
it's been done, so they're doing so badly. The worst
is like I love the movie Arthur from nineteen eighty
was deadly Moore, great, great comedy. But they made a
sequel and as was terrible. So there's no point in
(28:53):
making a sequel with you know, his Child or whatever
because it wouldn't be any good. That's a hard thing
to that there and say what should be a sequel? I'd
rather see in a original thing for the first time.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
But I love that.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
There's a new Rush Hour because my first my first
intern I ever had 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 lived. Because of this Rush Hour movie.
(29:22):
So I'm very gung ho on Rush Hour, but I
can't even think I would sit there and say, you
have to make a sequel?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Love I everybody, hold on, sorry, cuts 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
(29:48):
he still ripped? Can he still be the shirtless saxophone player?
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
how awesome they are. I've got one. Is there a play?
(30:10):
I know he's not healthy one hundred percent? 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
(30:31):
he saw them everything.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
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 died, But that I would actually.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
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 8 (30:50):
Twenty years ago. If we haven't watched now, I don't
know what to do play.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
What else Ryan is out there that we should know?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
There was a Back to the Future Broadway show that
it closed, Yeah I did.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
It was awful.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
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 (31:20):
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
(31:40):
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 with a poll specifically
on Hispanics, breaking them down by immigration status citizens naturalized
here I legally or on document or illegal rather, and
(32:02):
they ask them how he's doing on things like deep
mass deportations basically legal immigrants and naturalized Hispanics, and second
ARY's Hispanics are where the entire country is an immigration
which is one of Trump's still his best issues. They're
not swung heavily against him on things like mass deportations.
It's and they don't like some of the mass agents,
(32:22):
but they don't they like the idea of deporting illegal
aliens who are not here. The only thing is it's
the economy. It's the economy that's with thinking him right now.
With all these voters, immigration is not the issue that
is moving them. It is the economy right now.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Last question, another important one, what is your top draft
pick on Thanksgiving meals?
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Is what would you go to first? Your number one
part for food?
Speaker 8 (32:46):
Yeah, I'm not a big Turkey person. I really prefer
him on Thanksgiving and that's probably sacriligious, but I'm not
a huge Turkey person.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
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 pick?
Speaker 4 (33:00):
No?
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Now when I my faeily doesn't drink, so I one
how you make it through by myself? I do eat? Yeah,
I know, I'm I'm I e my calories over drinking them.
I'm not washed. See if I was waspy, I would
be drinking, but I'm athenic, so I eat like that's
the difference if you're a wasp There's no food of Thanksgiving,
It's just different versions of alcohol.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Ryan, We appreciate the time, Thank you for coming with us. Sorry,
I'm just pouring my coffee out here and I didn't

Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We got
a lot of people who want to weigh in a
variety of different topics. Let me kind of dive in here.
To one of our emailers, I want to make sure
that I get this right. Where was this? We had
a talkback a lot of you weighing in. Steve from Denver,
(35:27):
let's see DD.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Clay, you're like a trans I have to accept how
you feel and live by how you feel. Come on, man,
he's talking about seat reclining.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
I actually think he's completely wrong in the analogy there.
You can do whatever you want in your space. You
watch any show, you watch any movie. But as soon
as you take over MySpace, then you are infringing on
my world.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Right, Like if you want to.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Put on dress and you want to wear high heels,
and you want to dance around and pretend you're a
chick whatever, But if that makes you happy and you're
a grown man, But as soon as you say, and
I get to infringe on your world and win a
women's championship.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Then I'm not for it.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
So if you want to, you know, like sit around
in your frilly dress and you want to sit in
your area, and you want to be like.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
I'm the most beautiful woman in row sixty four, whatever,
happy for you.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
As soon as you recline your seat into my space,
You're the fake chick taking over my world. I'm not
having it. You're wrong, I'm right. We're gonna take a
bunch of your calls, tons of them. In the third
hour Tuesday edition of the program, Buck traveling to New
York City. He'll be back with me tomorrow on Thanksgiving Eve.
My thanks to Ryan Gardusky. I guarantee you we're gonna
(36:51):
be deluged. This is a real story. It's very funny.
Rush hour for Greenlit after President Trump said it need
to happen. Also, producer Ali tells me that they're making
a Broadway show version of The Lost Boys, the iconic
nineteen eighties vampire movie. Is it a musical, Ali, or no?
Oh god, there's a zero percent chance I'm going to
(37:14):
see it.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
If it's a musical.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
There's one hundred percent chance I'm gonna go see it
if it's not a musical producer. Ali already has her tickets,
by the way, not the tickets. We got to go
watch the big event at the White House today where
the Turkeys got's failed slay.
Speaker 6 (37:30):
Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of the
truth
Hey, I'm Clay Travis and I'm Buck Sexton.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
You know what we're thankful for this year, all of you.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
That's right, we have the best radio audience in the country,
hands down. Sending a big, warm and happy Thanksgiving from
the Clay and Buck Show. 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
(00:26):
busiest travel day of the year, Sunday, second busiest travel
day of the year, which makes sense. A lot of
people hitting the roads. 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
(00:49):
a couple of other different stories. Ukraine has allegedly agreed
to a peace 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
(01:10):
deal there. That would certainly be a huge geopolitical success
story for Trump to layer on withinending the war in Gaza.
So that is underway. Big race one week from today
in Tennessee. Matt Van Epps is running in the seventh
(01:33):
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 by at least a two to one margin,
and I.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Think it's important.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Matt Van Epps, West Point grad dad, combat veteran, really
outstanding choice.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You should go vote for him.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
This is my congressional disc 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 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,
(02:22):
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,
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
(02:46):
you to get out and vote. 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,
she makes AOC seem sane.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
This is how wild she is. Cut nine.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
This is Afton Bain 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 3 (03:17):
They'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, I hate all
of the things that make Nashville. Fairly, I hate city
to the rest of the country.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
But I hate it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Okay, babe, that doesn't seem my deal? Can we replay that.
I don't know that I've ever.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Heard a candidate be more specific about hating a place
that she wants to represent and many of the things
that help to give the city its character.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Uh, listen to it. Listen to it again.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Been heavily involved with the Nashville mayoral race because I
I hate the city. I hate the bachelorettes, I hate
the pedal taverns. I hate country music, I hate all
of the games that make Nashville barely and hate city
to the rest of the country.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I hate country music should immediately keep you from being
able to be elected to any office in any degree
in the entire state of Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I'm just gonna say, I'm not amusing. I'm basically tone deaf.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
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 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 (04:41):
So I just sit around and talk college football with them.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
But this is the kind of arrogance that they are
trying to foist upon us.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
She's not even trying to hide.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
She's saying out loud all the crazy things that left
wingers try to keep hidden when they're running for office.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
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. Listen to cut ten.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
The recurring dream I've had is.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Standing up in a cafeteria full of.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
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 women having kids and being in the political field
and what they're able to achieve because we don't offer.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
You know, it's like the political field hasn't met the
challenge of working moms.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
They really haven't.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
But also the deeply patriarchal structures that these women are
involved with because they've chosen.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Marriage and they've chosen to raise children.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
And I think in the South it's 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,
the metrics of success, how many kids you have, the
square footage of your house, and where your kids go
to school.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
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 choice.
(06:38):
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 the mental
(07:00):
aspects of trying to get pregnant, of getting pregnant and
then not knowing whether you're going to be.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Able to carry that child all the way.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
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 kid's going to school as some sort of failure.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
This is blonkers. This chick is crazy. Now.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
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 were not
(07:59):
done yet 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 (08:19):
This is my congressional district.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
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 Epps 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 was like,
(08:42):
are 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
(09:03):
today tomorrow. I'm gonna go vote on election day. My
wife works the polls. I gotta be be careful with
that phrasing. She works at the polls. She volunteers to
help people vote. And so I'm gonna be going on
Tuesday to go vote. She'll be working there all day.
(09:23):
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.
(09:44):
This is cut eleven as.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
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
as birther you know, as women who can give birth,
men and women who can give birth. We can maybe
leverage that as collective bargaining, which is the basis of
(10:06):
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 (10:27):
Like I want to pull my hair out.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
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
(10:52):
crazy chick representing me. This is personal wake up from
I'm the north of Tennessee near Clarksville. A lot 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
(11:15):
through 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 (11:27):
Go vote. This is not a hard call. This chick is.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
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
cuts where she can we pull that cut again because
(11:51):
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 Canada It on again next week because this is
going to, unfortunately potentially be a close race. Shouldn't be,
but they're counting on Republicans not showing up. They're counting
on a lot of you out there not being aware
(12:12):
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 is Bonker's level crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
So I want all of you to be aware of
it again.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Recognition, awareness of the fact that this race is happening
is probably the most important thing going on right now.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
We'll take some of your calls.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Eight hundred and two A two to 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 (13:02):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
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 combined 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
(13:25):
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. I told you yesterday.
They're already writing articles saying send Clay Travis a message,
Send Clay Travis a message, Send Tommy lair In a message,
Send Candice Owens a message, Send Brett Cooper a message,
Send Matt Walsh a message.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
This is all our district. They want to put a crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Chick in cannot happen. Look, I'm gonna brag on Bucks.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Behalf ere.

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
(14:16):
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,
(14:39):
and executive order because each one can trigger a chain
reaction in the markets worth billions.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Wor Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show, Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. ROBERTA down in
Florida wants to weigh in on the afton Vain take.
Let me just say this. I do think this is
a big cultural battle that's going on right now over
what should you aspire to? Should you aspire to and
(15:49):
what the ideal scenario is. You can do a lot
of different things, but should you aspire to a childless
life of material success some people want that? Or should
you aspire to raise children and try to impart upon
them the wisdom of your time. This apt in Bainchick,
and there are a lot of them in the Democrat
(16:10):
party right now. They actually look with contempt upon mothers. ROBERTA.
You want to weigh in on that you're from Florida.
What was your reaction?
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Well, quite honestly, I tear up when I hear this.
I'm a mother of four. I'm very blessed. I have
four wonderful children. Of course I'm all for you know,
I was raised in the patriarchal I feel blessed that
I was raised that way. I feel blessed that, you know,
I wanted to go on and have a family and
(16:40):
have children. And it just when I hear her talking
and to think that she wants to get into public office,
it's scary. It's very scary. But you know, you everybody
has the right to feel and do it. You know,
I'm not against people that don't want children. I don't
believe everybody should have children, but to go to the
other extreme, and you know, that's why what a tragic
(17:05):
thing that, you know, Charlie Kirk was assassinated because all
he was trying to do was to bring those lost
kids back the other way, you know, like bring them
you know, reel them back in, you know, and and anyway.
That's that's just it. I just I almost want to
say keep it coming, because the crazier they've become, the
(17:28):
more chance I'm hoping that we have to keep the
country going in the right direction.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Well, thank you for the call, ROBERTA. Have a good
Thanksgiving with those four kids. I think there's a difference
between you can choose whether or not you want to
have kids, everybody has that right, and having contempt for
people who have chosen to have children, and then to
go the next step and say I don't want kids,
I want power. I'm sorry. The people that I want
(17:56):
to have power, as a general rule, tend to be
parents and grandparents. Because you're trying to think, that's what
I think about every day, how do I make the
world better for the people who are younger than me,
who are coming along behind me. If you're just nakedly
ambitious for power, you're not going to make the right
(18:17):
choices for the country. And if you're ridiculing people who
are choosing to have children, I don't think you should
be anywhere near Capitol Hill. Heck, I don't think you
should be anywhere near the state House. I think the
people who put her in the State House have actually
failed East Nashville.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
This is on you, morons.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
When the Russia Ukraine War broke out over three years ago,
no one imagined all the destruction, death and hardship. At first,
a lot of nonprofit organizations made Ukraine their priority, rightfully so.
Then on October seventh, twenty twenty three, we saw what
happened when Hamas invaded Israel and killed twelve hundred innocent
(18:55):
Israelis and captured two hundred and fifty hostages. A lot
of you stepped up and fought back to try to
protect the people of Israel, and many of you, including
Buck and me, are still doing that. Join your your

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
(19:39):
early Thanksgiving to you. Before we get into your data,
what is your position on people reclining seats on airplanes?
Speaker 8 (19:48):
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 offul. I never reclined my seat ever.
A sleep stress sending up it like, calm down. If
it's a two hour flight, Yah, Susan, you get set
out the whole time.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I now will agree with every opinion. 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
(20:26):
place next week. Democrats have legitimately put forward 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. I personally cannot allow this to happen.
I am imploring everyone out there to show up to
(20:48):
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 (21:00):
So the district is a district's a compromur Congress of
Mark Green's district. It's a Republican Mark ran one of
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
of Nashville are very liberal, about probably d plus sixty
(21:21):
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 have
(21:42):
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 slivers down to the
(22:03):
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 exerbs of this district. I had 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 not that worried. It would take really
(22:26):
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,
it's not even twenty eighteen, twenty eighteen still as a Republican.
I thought it actually did. Twenty eighteen Marshall black Room
versus Phil Bredstein, who was the governor. Marshall Blackbirom carried
the district yo point five percent. So no, it hasn't
(22:48):
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 and counter it.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
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.
(23:23):
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, sixth,
and seven all have different parts of the Nashville area.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
And so where I lived.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
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 by street. In other words,
it's one of these 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.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
That's legitimately how they sliced it.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
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 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 (24:13):
The heck?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
It was all right, Ryan, when you look obviously this
is one week again, everybody go vote. I can't be
repped by this crazy chick. 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
(24:35):
sign is it some of these primaries? Is there anything
you're 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 (24:52):
Well, I mean, we're starting to see some things about
these early elections. I won, the intensity in which Democrats
are showing up right, the special elections, and 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.
(25:16):
David Shore, 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
(25:36):
the border security issue, it is still the most trusted
issues Republicans have, but it's much lower on the list
of what people care about. The issues of Medicare of
healthcare are making increasingly important and much more trusted among Democrats,
and Democrats are gaining tremendously on issues like the economy,
cost of living, inflation, and taxes and AI which is
(25:58):
the thing that no one's really talking about, ye, but
it's 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. It's not just New Jersey, it's
(26:21):
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 in an
election of the year is probably Michigan, not only because
(26:44):
they have a Democratic primary and a Republican who's very
popular who's running for the election. But the Democratic primary
really pits a Bernie Sanders flash you Zora Mundani type,
rather again a centrist Democrat who has the party backing
and the money for them, the progressive candidate, the Bernie
(27:04):
Senters candidate who's really more like Zora man Dinna than Bernie.
I don't want to say Bernie, but it's like mom,
Donnie Cannet. If he wins, it really increases the Republicans' chances,
and 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 was actually the
Democratic nominee ahead of the election before making any prognostication.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
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.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Four to be greenlit.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
And hold on, this is break hold on, this is
breaking news. Paramount just greenlited. Yeah, 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
(28:07):
Rush Hour movies. This is a buddy cop with a
black guy and an Asian guy. Trump is evidently a
huge fan of the buddy cop genre, and he said,
we got to make a Rush Hour four.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
They have now agreed to make Rush Hour four.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Can you think of any movies that you would like
to see a sequel that you think President Trump should
advocate for.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
Oh god, that's a really tough question. You know, most
of my most of my favorite movies, I don't want
sequels up. So that's it's a hard one, is that
there to say which one should get a sequel? I think, yeah,
it's been done, so they're doing so badly. The worst
is like I love the movie Arthur from nineteen eighty
was deadly Moore, great, great comedy. But they made a
sequel and as was terrible. So there's no point in
(28:53):
making a sequel with you know, his Child or whatever
because it wouldn't be any good. That's a hard thing
to that there and say what should be a sequel? I'd
rather see in a original thing for the first time.
Speaker 7 (29:01):
But I love that.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
There's a new Rush Hour because my first my first
intern I ever had 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 lived. Because of this Rush Hour movie.
(29:22):
So I'm very gung ho on Rush Hour, but I
can't even think I would sit there and say, you
have to make a sequel?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Love I everybody, hold on, sorry, cuts 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
(29:48):
he still ripped? Can he still be the shirtless saxophone player?
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
how awesome they are. I've got one. Is there a play?
(30:10):
I know he's not healthy one hundred percent? 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
(30:31):
he saw them everything.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
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 died, But that I would actually.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
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 8 (30:50):
Twenty years ago. If we haven't watched now, I don't
know what to do play.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
What else Ryan is out there that we should know?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
There was a Back to the Future Broadway show that
it closed, Yeah I did.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
It was awful.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
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 (31:20):
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
(31:40):
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 with a poll specifically
on Hispanics, breaking them down by immigration status citizens naturalized
here I legally or on document or illegal rather, and
(32:02):
they ask them how he's doing on things like deep
mass deportations basically legal immigrants and naturalized Hispanics, and second
ARY's Hispanics are where the entire country is an immigration
which is one of Trump's still his best issues. They're
not swung heavily against him on things like mass deportations.
It's and they don't like some of the mass agents,
(32:22):
but they don't they like the idea of deporting illegal
aliens who are not here. The only thing is it's
the economy. It's the economy that's with thinking him right now.
With all these voters, immigration is not the issue that
is moving them. It is the economy right now.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Last question, another important one, what is your top draft
pick on Thanksgiving meals?
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Is what would you go to first? Your number one
part for food?
Speaker 8 (32:46):
Yeah, I'm not a big Turkey person. I really prefer
him on Thanksgiving and that's probably sacriligious, but I'm not
a huge Turkey person.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
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 pick?
Speaker 4 (33:00):
No?
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Now when I my faeily doesn't drink, so I one
how you make it through by myself? I do eat? Yeah,
I know, I'm I'm I e my calories over drinking them.
I'm not washed. See if I was waspy, I would
be drinking, but I'm athenic, so I eat like that's
the difference if you're a wasp There's no food of Thanksgiving,
It's just different versions of alcohol.
Speaker 1 (33:18):

nineteen eighties vampire movie. Is it a musical, Ali, or no?
Oh god, there's a zero percent chance I'm going to
(37:14):
see it.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
If it's a musical.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
There's one hundred percent chance I'm gonna go see it
if it's not a musical producer. Ali already has her tickets,
by the way, not the tickets. We got to go
