Buck Sexton
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 the midst of travel, Godspeed. Today is the busiest day in advance of Thanksgiving travel. Expectations that around 82 million people will be traveling. 90% of them on the roads be safe, 10% of them in the air be safe, which would be a record number of individuals traveling for Thanksgiving. I will be among them, as 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 many of you probably listening to us right now have begun your travels. So hopefully we can keep you entertained and keep you 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 Melania have just walked to the White House rostrum to begin the process of pardoning the turkeys, a annual tradition. Donald Trump Jr. 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 till a leftist federal judge reverses the turkey's pardon? That is very, very funny. We will give you that incredibly important breaking news. All right, produce. 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 D.C. for the Turkey pardon? Oh, no, I was.
- [05:19]
Producer Ali
I got the official invite last week.
- [05:21]
Buck Sexton
This is real. The White House, they, they, they've reached out to you and said, ali, we Love all the work you do on Clay and Buck. You are invited to the White House for the turkey pardon.
- [05:31]
Producer Ali
Well, they weren't inviting me. They were inviting the show specifically to come to D.C. for the Turkey pardon.
- [05:37]
Buck Sexton
How did I not hear that we had been invited to the turkey pardon? This is gobble and waddle. According to Fox News. This is a big deal. So did we. Do we reject the White House on our invitation to the turkey pardon?
- [05:50]
Producer Ali
I actually did not respond.
- [05:53]
Buck Sexton
This is really funny. How many times have we been invited to the white. Did you tell Buck that we were invited to the turkey pardon?
- [05:58]
Producer Ali
I think I texted you guys last week, or maybe I just texted Greg and Mark.
- [06:03]
Buck Sexton
I don't think we knew. I'm going to have to get Buck. I'm going to text Buck and be like, ali's holding out us.
- [06:07]
Producer Ali
Have we been invited to so many things? And I probably tell you 5%.
- [06:13]
Buck Sexton
How. How I know. I mean, I'm going to have to fire you again. How often are we invited to the White House and we don't hear about it as this is? This happened more than once?
- [06:22]
Producer Ali
Well, if it involves Trump, you always hear about it, but you get invited to a lot of things.
- [06:27]
Buck Sexton
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. Pretty sure Ali doesn't know this. I'm going to be in D.C. next week for the FIFA. The World Cup. They're having the Kennedy Center. Trump is presiding, I believe, with Fox Sports over the World cup soccer draw, where everybody finds out which group they're in. I believe there's 48 World cup teams. Now, for those of you who hate soccer, apologies to start the show this way, but we're gonna have the World cup as part of America's 250th anniversary. There will be the World cup going on this summer all over 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 pardon, 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 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 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. We'll get into that a bit. Our buddy Ryan Gardusky is 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 the 10 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 2024 telling you that the 2024 election was as easy as EBC, economy, border crime. And if you look at in the first year, and I would give President Trump an 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 fact, it was at the end of the 2024 election cycle. Democrats were all screaming, there's no way to fix the border without congressional action. 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 2 or 3 million. It's still 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. ABC the border is fixed Crime. 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 stats. And again, everybody focuses on Chicago, Everybody focuses on D.C. a lot of 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 D.C. to be honest, the mayor of Memphis said, hey, I don't really love this, 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 little about this since the feds and since the state started working together in Memphis. Listen to this. Murders down 50% in Memphis. Assault down 40% in Memphis. Robbery down 60%. 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 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 middle part of the country where I live, where many of you listening to us right now live, and it doesn't get very much attention. And I saw those Memphis numbers and where I live in Nashville, you know, murders are at a 60 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. 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 the 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 in a really unsafe place. 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 bars, we're going to go sing on the stage, karaoke we're going to have an awesome time. They call them the Woo Girls here. I'll play an audio of Afton Bain, 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 are police officers. And it turns out when you 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 as easy as ebc. Trump has 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 ever been. The economy is the challenge as we look forward for 2026. And I think that actually underlines the relationship that you saw between Trump and Mamdani in the Oval Office last week. What's going on there? Why do they have a bro fest? It's because Trump recognizes that the politics of 2026 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 now. Stock market's near record highs. And so those of us who are out there that have 401ks, that have stocks, if you check your stock holdings 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. 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 cost too much in your head. Just things cost what they shouldn't. You know how you have in your head kind of 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 $30, the two of us, on a meal at Subway. In my head, that meal should cost $20. Everything has skyrocketed. I've talked about when I take the Travis boys, my three kids through the Chick Fil, a drive thru and it costs over $50 for us to get Chick Fil A. It's way too much. 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 issue in 2026. 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 2021 and 2022. And the cost of goods skyrocket as quickly as it did. Now, some of y' all out there, you 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 for reelection in 2028, because I think the answer is by 2028, 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 J.D. vance, might be good for Marco Rubio. We'll open up phone lines, 800-282-2882. But again, 2024 was about EBC. It's as easy as EBC. Economy, border crime. Trump has delivered on border, he's delivered on the crime. But the economy is, is now going to be the flashpoint, the cultural litmus test in the midterm in 2026. And Trump's ability to deliver on that issue is going to determine what happens 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. Buck will 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, we're going to be into December.

When disaster strikes, will you be able to reach your loved ones? Rapid Radios delivers peace of mind when it matters most. Hurricane Helene wiped out electricity in parts of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. It's taking a long time to recover from those hardships. I've shared our story about how we were able to stay in contact with loved ones last year during that natural disaster. Being able to stay in touch with family as they navigated through the storm gave us a lot of comfort. There are a lot of testimonials about Rapid Radios like this one from Ms. Stinson. This is just a few words from her full testimonial. She wrote, I was able to check on my elderly parents and my brother immediately. Group talk or private? It's just like the old Nextel. They will program everything to all Rapid Radios before they're shipped to you. I absolutely highly recommend their products with no monthly fees and pre programmed simplicity. Rapid Radios keep you connected when everything else goes dark. Trusted tested legit. Visit Rapid Radios.com today. That's Rapid Radios.com 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 2nd busiest travel day of the year, which makes sense. A lot of people hitting the roads. 90% of you driving 10% 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 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 deal there. That would certainly be a huge geopolitical success story for Trump to layer on with ending the war in Gaza. So that is underway. Big race one week from today in Tennessee. Matt Van Epps is running in the 7th 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 outspending the Republican in this race by at least a 2 to 1 margin and I think it's important. 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 20 points in 2024. 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, that this actual election is taking place and people don't really know it'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 the, of that, 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, she makes AOC seem sane. This is how wild she is. Cut 9 this is Afton Bane saying she hates Nashville. This is in February of 2020. She wants to represent Nashville. This is her on a podcast. Cut nine.
- [26:09]
Producer Ali
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. I hate all of the things that make Nashville apparently in its city to the rest of the country.
- [26:24]
Buck Sexton
But I hate it. Okay, but that doesn't seem ideal. Can we replay that? I don't know that I've ever 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. Listen to it. Listen to it again.
- [26:47]
Producer Ali
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. I hate all of the things that make Nashville apparently in its city to the rest of the country, but I hate it.
- [27:03]
Buck Sexton
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. I, I, I'm just gonna say I'm not a music. I'm basically tone deaf. I know a lot of country music singers. Cause I'm 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 all music singer, at least all the men, they're all huge college football fans. So I just sit around talk college football with them. But this is the kind of arrogance 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. Listen to this. She says women who get married and start families are deep products of patriarchal 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 10.
- [28:08]
Producer Ali
The recurring dream I've had is standing up in a cafeteria full of women. I don't know why I was there or whatever. And saying, I don't want children, I want power. And just screaming it at the top of the 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. You know, it's like the political field hasn't met the challenge of working moms. They really haven't. But also the deeply patriarchal structures that these women are involved with because they've chosen marriage and they've chosen to, to raise children. And I think in the south, it's, it's incredibly difficult to shake those. Especially if, 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.
- [29:07]
Buck Sexton
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. This is why 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 the 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 aspects of trying to get pregnant, of getting pregnant, and then not knowing whether you're going to be able to carry that child all the way. 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 and you look at getting married and having kids and being concerned about where your kids going to school as some sort of failure, this is bonkers. This chick is crazy. Now, I. 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 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 11. This is the chick that they are trying to get Nashville to elect. This is my congressional district. So if you're out there and you're like, well, this. There's not very many national races still to come before 2026. So the amount of money and attention has been legion getting thrown in here. We had Matt Van Epps on yesterday. Tommy Lahren, who works with me at Outkick, is having him on today. Tommy texted me on Sunday. I think it was Saturday night. She was like, 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, today, tomorrow, I'm going to go vote on election Day. My wife works the polls. I got to be careful with that phrasing. She works at the polls. She volunteers to. To help people vote. And so I'm going to be Going on Tuesday to go vote. She'll be working there all day. But a lot of people just don't know because it's a non traditional time to vote. It's December 2nd. 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 Afton Bain, the crazy Democrat, she believes that men can get pregnant. This is cut 11.
- [32:38]
Producer Ali
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 birther, 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 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.

Ryan Gardusky
I.
- [33:19]
Buck Sexton
Like, I want to pull my hair out. This chick should lose 90 to 10 if people show up and actually understand what she's saying. Look, Democrats are trying to steal this race. They are outspending the Republican. This is a Republican district. This is my district. This is going to be my congressperson. I cannot have this crazy chick representing me.
- [33:48]
Whim Sound Advertiser
And I.
- [33:48]
Buck Sexton
This is personal. Wake up. From 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 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. Go vote. 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 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 going to 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 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 is bonkers 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. We'll take some of your calls. 800-282-2882. A lot of you want to weigh in on a variety of different topics. Our buddy Ryan Gardusky 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 20% chance that she wins. Are you kidding me? This is a Trump +20 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 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 sin. Clay Travis a message. Send Clay Travis a message. Send Tommy Lahren a message. Send Candace Owens a message. Send Brett Cooper a message. Send Matt Walsh a message. This is all our district they wanna put a crazy chick in. Cannot happen. Uh, look, I'm gonna brag on Buck's behalf here. He's got a 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 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 D.C. like a radar screen looking for every policy leak, spending bill and executive order because each one can trigger a chain reaction in the markets worth billions. Not theory, it's boots on the ground financial intelligence designed to help you move before the crowd. Right now you can join Money and power for 82% off the regular price.

Before we get into your data, what is your position on people reclining seats on airplanes?
- [38:44]
Ryan Gardusky
Oh, they're awful. I mean it's not that hard to set up straight. Like go sit. Like it's not that bad. It's awful. It's totally off. I never recline my seat ever since I'll sleep stress sitting up. It's like, calm down. If it's a two hour flight, you know, Susan, you could sit up the whole time.
- [39:01]
Buck Sexton
I now will agree with every opinion Ryan Gardusky gives the rest of this interview because he's 1 billion percent right with everything he just said. 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 an absolutely insane woman for the Tennessee 7th 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 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.
- [39:56]
Ryan Gardusky
So the district is a district, it's a former Congress. And Mark Green's district, it's a Republican. Mark Green won it by 21 points. Trump won it by 22 points. It's pretty Republican. There's two basic concentrations of Democratic voters. That's Clarksvill, Tennessee and some suburbs of Nashville. The suburbs of Nashville are very liberal about, you know, probably D plus 60. Almost 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. 19% of the 2024 vote is already voted in the early vote. Right? That's. That's a tremendous amount. About 63,000 ballots have already been cast. Out of the 336,000 that were cast in 20, 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 kind of slivers down to the southern part of Tennessee. The southern part is very, very Republican. And they are having some of the worst turnout so far. So especially the southern area really needs to pick up momentum and come out. But I will say, given that the Republican exurbs of this district had pretty strong turn, 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, a monsoon. The district hasn't voted for a Democrat in a statewide election since 2018. It's been. It's pretty. It's not a. It's not a. It's not a district that. Sorry, not even 2018. 2018, civil Republican. I thought it actually did 2018. Marsha Blackburn versus Phil Bradstein, who was the governor. Marsha Blackburn carried the district by 0.5%. So, no, it hasn't voted for a Democrat and of very, very long time. Nashville is going to be very, very strong about a D + 68 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.
- [41:58]
Buck Sexton
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 2020, they cut Nashville into three different congressional seats. 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 2020. Two, because my district had changed then by street. In other words, 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. 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 22, a lot of people show up to vote straight Republican ticket. In 24, Trump won Tennessee, I don't know, by 35 points or whatever the heck 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 11 months out from 2026. 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? Is there anything you're watching to kind of have your eye on early in 2026? For instance, Texas got a primary early March 2026. When do we start to get a sign on what the tea leaves, what the overall voting marketplace is going to look like?
- [43:48]
Ryan Gardusky
Well, I mean, we're starting to see some things, but these early elections, by 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 SE Tennessee that you're mentioning, which is an R+20 seat, is causing some heartburn among Republicans. David Shore, who is a very brilliant progressive data analyst, he did, he did one of the smartest post 2024 election analysis there were. So he did a mid, midyear, you know, what, 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, 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 health care are making them increasingly important and much more trusted among Democrats. And Democrats are gaining tremendously on issues like the economy, cost of living, inflation and taxes, nai, which is the thing that no one's really talking about yet. 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, important issue, it's definitely going to lead to higher turnout among Democratic voters. So I would sit there and say that the tea leaves have already started to gather. 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 what how the enthusiasm looks. I will say before anyone should get excited, we really have to see where the primaries go and who wins the nominations. For example, most important Senate election of the year is probably Michigan. Not only because 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 slash, you know, Zoram Ghani type rather against a centrist Democrat who has the party backing and the money for them. The progressive candidate, the Bernie Sanders candidate who's really more like Zora Mandani than Bernie. I don't want to say Bernie, but it's like more Maudani candidate. 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 is actually the Democratic nominee ahead of the election before making any prognostication.
- [46:25]
Buck Sexton
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, I'm not kidding about this Sunday night. There was a report from Semaphore that President Trump behind this is so funny. That President Trump behind the scenes. For those of you who don't remember, this is Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. Evan. I'd forgotten. They made three different 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 Rush Hour 4. They have now agreed to make Rush Hour 4. Can you think of any movies that you would like to see a sequel that you think President Trump should advocate for?
- [47:27]
Ryan Gardusky
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 a hard one to sit there and say which one should get a sequel. I think, you know, it's been done. So they're doing it so badly. The worst is like I love the movie Arthur from 1980 with Dudley Moore. Great, great comedy. But they made a sequel, and it was terrible. So there's no point in 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 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 him 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 even. I would sit there and say, you have to make a sequel of.
- [48:24]
Buck Sexton
I want everybody. Hold on. Sorry to cut you. I want everybody to give me your talk back. Our 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 Star. I want to know what happened to the shirtless saxophone player. Is he still ripped? Can he still be the shirtless saxophone player? This is very specific because I told. Told everybody a couple 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. That you grew up watching in the 80s and 90s and having them realize. Realize how awesome they are. I've got one. Is there a play? I know he's not healthy. A hundred percent. Is there a Back to the Future play? Is there. Is there another Back to the Future out there that could make sense? I. 1, 2, and 3. 1 and 2 were amazing. 3 a little bit iffy. 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?
- [49:28]
Ryan Gardusky
I just thought, what was the Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio movie with the Departed? One with just Matt Damon's character who lives? Because I think Caprio dies in the movie, but that I would actually.
- [49:39]
Buck Sexton
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.
- [49:46]
Ryan Gardusky
And 20 years ago, if you haven't watched now, I don't know what to do.
- [49:52]
Buck Sexton
What else Ryan is out there that we should know. There was a Back to the Future Broadway show that it closed. 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 Gardusky. He's with, with a numbers game. What else should we know?
- [50:16]
Ryan Gardusky
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 down, they polled Hispanics. This is right after, this is an Equus poll right after the elections 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 illegally or undocumented or illegal rather. And they asked them how he's doing on things like deep mass deportations, basically legal immigrants and naturalized Hispanics and second generation Hispanics are where the entire country is on immigration, which is one of Trump's still his best issues. They have not swung heavily against him on things like mass deportations. And they don't like some of the masked agents, 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 what's thinking him right now with all these voters. Immigration is not the issue that is moving them. It is the economy right now.

Buck Sexton
Last question. Another important one. What is your top draft pick on Thanksgiving meals? What would you go to first? Your number one for food?
- [51:43]
Ryan Gardusky
Yeah, I'm not, I'm not a big turkey person. I really prefer ham on Thanksgiving and that's probably sacrilegious, but I don't, I'm not a huge turkey person.
- [51:50]
Buck Sexton
I don't think that's a bad idea. I like that you went food because. Were you gonna say alcohol? Was that your first draft pick?
- [51:56]
Ryan Gardusky
No.
- [51:56]
Buck Sexton
Now when I.
- [51:57]
Ryan Gardusky
My family doesn't drink, so I don't.
- [52:00]
Buck Sexton
Know how you make it through by myself.
- [52:01]
Ryan Gardusky
I do eat. Yeah, I know. I'm, I'm, I eat my calories over drinking. I'm not. See, if I was WASPy, I would be drinking, but I'm ethnic, so I eat like that's the difference if you're a wasp. There's no food at Thanksgiving. It's just different versions of alcohol.

Being able to stay in touch with family as they navigated through the storm gave us a lot of comfort. There are a lot of testimonials about Rapid Radios like this one from Ms. Stinson.

Let's have some fun as we roll closer to Thanksgiving with m 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 hospitable trip miserable. Let's have this story is just breaking. This is Jack Posobic who I believe is at turn 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. We're talking about Afton Bain and all that. Reuben Gallego is a senator from Arizona. He tweeted this is leaked again and again. 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 texts go public. Unless it's like the J. Jones stuff where it's like I want my political opponents to be murdered. It's like, okay, this I think may have gotten leaked intentionally by Ruben Gallego's team. Cause it actually makes me like him more so in general anti text leak leakage. But here's what he's saying. He's talking about how the Democrat party has lost its way we look. This is Ruben Gallego, senator from Arizona. According to the Jack Posobic leak, we look 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. Um, now dim women look like dim men and dim men look like women. He's not wrong. Uh, and I it'll be interesting to see how much heat he gets for this. Again. I I think he may have leaked to the 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 Gallego might decide to run for president in 2028. Every Democrat on the planet basically is going to be running for president in 2028. Okay. I have promised that I would get to your calls. A ton of you are waiting. You can also so always hop in the talkback community. Christie, formerly, 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 with us?
- [60:33]
Caller Christie
Can you hear me?
- [60:34]
Buck Sexton
Yeah, we got you.
- [60:35]
Caller Christie
Okay. All right. I lost for a minute. So the job market sucks. I can give you a quick update if you want. The world did yesterday if you checked out LinkedIn because nurses all over the country are pissed because of the requestification from professional to deprofessional. But the reason they did that is because of the loans. Nurses take out so many loans and they take so long to pay back. So there's a lot of misinformation going on out there. And nurses are pissed. That's what's hot.
- [61:06]
Buck Sexton
Are we on? Do you have us on? Do you have us on speaker, Kristen?
- [61:12]
Caller Christie
No, you're on my, you're on my earphones.
- [61:15]
Buck Sexton
Can you, 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. Ok. Yeah, we've got you. Okay, so you wanted to say a lot of women are single. Not by choice, because guys suck.
- [61:31]
Caller Christie
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 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 side to this and guys have to bear some responsibility because there are a lot of single, average looking guys and who, you know, don't have a decent career, whatever, who are holding out for something just unrealistic. And I, I don't know where that came from.
- [62:29]
Buck Sexton
Okay, thank you for the call. I don't know. Look, I, I wrote a lot about this in, in my book and, and I get it because I hear from single women all the time. To be fair, some of you are in your 80s. I bet when you were in your 20s, women were complaining that there were no good men around. Like I, I 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. And the soldier I just killed Hitler with my bare hands. I was fighting the Nazis all over France, all over Germany. And I come back to the United States and all the girls back in the States are like, there's just no good men. We can't. They just beat the Nazis. They're the greatest generation of all time. All right, 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. Has that been a trend for a long time? 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? I. Or may I meet you? I think was what he said. I think because people live on their phones so much, I think a lot of guys out there, and I got three boys, so I certainly understand this world. I think a lot of guys get on their phones and they send like 60 DMs to girls on Instagram and just wait to see who's going to 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 this in the book. If you went back in time to 1962 and you told a single guy in 1962, right? Some of you out there listening were in fact single in 1962. If you said, hey, in the future, in 2025, guys are going to be able to have sex with almost no commitment. You're not even going to have to take girls out to dinner. You're going to be able to just get on your phone, which now is mobile, and you're going to be able to send a message to 60 different girls. You up where 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 with many of them. Would that be a world that single men in 1962 had wanted or a world in 1962 that single women had wanted? My point here, I think a lot of women, through the guise of female empowerment, have actually ended up signing up for what every single man in the 1960s 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 as go girl. This is your world now, girl boss era. I don't really blame men. I mean, I. 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. And they're probably going to clip this and they're going to, you know, they're going to come after me. But you remember the era of shotgun weddings. People are like, oh, you know that guy, he got her pregnant and dad showed up with a shotgun. And now they're getting married, 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 marrying the woman. And the dad's gonna show up and he's gonna shoot you if you don't do it. Because you numb nuts, you put yourself in this position and we're not just gonna make a woman raise a baby by herself. Health. 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 1950s, 1960s. Men had real obligations. And we've created this world where women have been convinced that. That all of their choices actually fulfill every male fantasy from the 1960s and certainly the 1940s and 1930s. 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 should have masculine sex drive. And men are like, why would I? Why would I? 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, Women, Sorry. If you need to share this Clay Travis does birds and the bees. You can clip it and share it with your kids. 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 in their life. Men were Like a machine gun just firing 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, gay dudes just were showing up and banging each other like crazy in there. That doesn't happen in the women's bathroom. 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 and just going to town on each other. It doesn't. 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 aren't. All right, what if you went 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. Men are gonna buy this magazine like crazy. He was right. 1950s, 1960s, the sexual revolution that was created actually is just every male fantasy fulfilled. And women have signed on to it thinking that it's the girl boss era. And guess what? A lot of you are looking around like, like, hey, this is not actually that great for us. Men see us as disposable. They won't commit to us, and as a result, everybody's angry. And by the way, it doesn't actually 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 flowchart, they can't find a girl because the girls all want the exact same guy. I actually disagree with the caller. I think men have lower standards for women than. 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 20 years. I don't think my wife got the 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. It actually makes sense biologically, right? A 5 foot 2, 120 pound dude, sorry. Who's bald? Sorry if that's you right now. I'm not trying to take a personal shot at you. You, most women are 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. Just think about it. I don't hear very many people point it out, but what has been sold as female empowerment is actually every man's sexual Fantasy from the 1950s and 1960s in real life today. And don't even get me started on, you know, these guys go to college campuses now for tailgates. Look at old guys, girls 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, is this actually a good spot? Why can we not get a man to commit? Because he's got a phone in his hand and he can text 60 girls simultaneously. And one of them is going to respond. The buffet is always open. And it's not actually that beneficial for most young women. That's my theory. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm an old guy. I got no idea. I wrote about it some in the book. But in all seriousness, I do think, 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 were the most into women's empowerment, none of them are having kids. It's like the crazy Afton Bane chick. She even looks down on people who get married. You want to save some money? Pure talks great way to save some money.
