Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show podcast. 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. I got the official invite last week. 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 party. Well, they weren't inviting me. They were inviting the show specifically to come to D.C. for the Turkey pardon. How did I not hear that? We have 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? I actually did not respond. 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 party?

Commercial Announcer
I think I texted you guys last week.
- [06:04]
Clay Travis
Or maybe I just texted Greg and Mark. 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. Have we been invited to so many things? And I probably tell you 5%. 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. Has this happened more than once? Well, if it involves Trump, you always hear about it, but you get invited to a lot of things. 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 invite. So that is the President. Gobble and waddle. We would be there. Producer Alley 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 going to 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 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. Ok, 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 ebc, 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 combination. But lots of things happen in the middle part of the country. Where I live, where many of you listening to us right now live and doesn't get very much attention. And I saw those Memphis numbers and where I live in Nashville, you know, murders are at a 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 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. He 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.

Welcome back in Clay TRAVIS BUCK SEXTON SHOW all right, President Trump, as only President Trump can, has pardoned the turkeys. But listen to what he said as part of the pardoning. This just happened at the White House. The invite that, the event that we were invited to that we didn't even know we were invited to. Listen.
- [23:01]
Donald Trump
After a thorough and very rigorous investigation by Pam Bondi and all of the people at Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, the White House counsel's office and the Department of Everything. We have a Department of Everything, you know, that is, I think that's called the White House into a terrible situation caused by a man named Sleepy Joe Biden. He used an auto pen last year for the turkey's pardon. So I have the official duty to determine and I have determined that last year's turkey pardons are totally invalid, as are the pardons of about every other person that was pardoned, other than where's Hunter? No, Hunter's was good. That was the one pardon, Pam. That was good, right? The rest of them are all invalid. I Don't know what the hell you're going to do about that, but that's. Now we're going to take a little of the joking. That is a mess. But they're hereby null and void. The turkeys known as Peach and Blossom last year have been located and they were on their way to be processed. In other words, to be killed. But I have stopped that, that journey and I am officially pardoning them.
- [24:19]
Clay Travis
I mean, come on. Trump even makes the turkey pardon fun. We'll react to that a bit more when we come back. But in the meantime, he said Biden's turkey pardons were auto pinned, probably because Biden doesn't have any energy. Are you dragging right now as Thanksgiving gets closer? Are you going to be the first family member to, to fall asleep on the couch as soon as the meal is over because you don't have the energy that you used to have?

He also said that he was thinking about calling the turkeys Chuck and Nancy, but he didn't want to do that because he did not want to pardon Chuck and Nancy. Here was Trump a few minutes ago.
- [25:39]
Donald Trump
The turkeys being pardoned today go by the names of Gobble and Waddle. When I first saw their pictures, I thought we should send them. Well, I was going to, I shouldn't say this. I was going to call them Chuck and Nancy, but then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them. I would never pardon those two people. I wouldn't pardon them. I wouldn't care what Melania told me, darling. I think it would be a nice thing to do. I won't do it, darling.
- [26:08]
Clay Travis
He also said in more serious news, and this is a very positive, positive story, I hate to get ahead of it because obviously Vladimir Putin is involved on one side, but there are reports out there that Ukraine has agreed to a peace plan. Now, obviously Russia has to agree as well, but I don't think this has gotten enough discussion. Okay, so the way that they solved the situation in Gaza and were able to get a ceasefire and the hostages finally released was they put Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in charge. And they just said, basically, you guys are deal makers. Jared Kushner, I think, gets no credit. He's one of the best assets Trump has had. He's just a deal guy. Jared Kushner, for those of you out there that are video game players, he just bought Electronic Arts. They make the Madden video game. They used to make the FIFA video game. If you got kids, Call of Duty, I believe that's Activision. If you got kids, they play FIFA video games. They play EA video games, almost certainly. But instead of having all these bureaucrats who sit around all day and just have meetings and never get anything done, Trump has got actual dealmakers, guys who sit at the table and say, how do we get to. Yes, Trump is the deal maker in chief. And so they started with Russia, I think, with the recognition that Russia is the most difficult part of this deal. And they sat down secretly in Miami. This is really very funny. I think more of this story should be told. Witkoff and Kushner, who just lived down the street from Buck in Miami, they get the Russians there and they sit down with them and they say, hey, what does a deal need to look like in order to get done from your perspective? And the Russians probably sat there and hemmed and hawed, but eventually they came up with a 28 point plan that would be acceptable to Russia. And then they went to Ukraine and they said to Ukraine, this is the plan that can end the war. And Ukraine says, what? Oh, no, this is totally unacceptable. And they say, okay, what do you need? And my understanding is that they now have a 19 point plan that Ukraine has agreed to. So they got Russia's plan. They actually got Russia to say, what do you want? What does a deal that you would agree to look like to end this war? And then they went to Ukraine and they said, hey, here's Russia's plan. What does a deal to end this war look like to you? Vladimir Zelensky And Zelensky, they come back with a 19 point plan that now Ukraine has agreed to, and now they will go back to Russia. And look, I'm optimistic they're going to get this deal done. And if they do, and again, I'm optimistic. They've been close before. It seems like the first thing you have to figure out in any deal is what makes one side happy and what makes the other side happy. Trump is the mediator in chief here. Some of you probably have been involved in Mediation. Maybe it was a divorce, maybe it was a employment dispute. Maybe you were involved in a big lawsuit. Any of us that have ever been involved in mediation, it is the prelude oftentimes to actual trial. I've been involved in mediations quite a lot in my legal career. You sit, in my experience, in a room, often by yourself. You're with counsel, you're involved in disputes. And a former judge, usually it's a former judge in my experience is going back and forth trying to figure out, how do I bring these two people together. That's basically what Trump is doing right now. That's what he's deputized Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to be able to do. And they got it done in Gaza. I think they're going to get it done in Ukraine. And basically, the outline is this. Russia wants a substantial portion of the territory that they have taken right now. It's not a surprise. Ukraine wants security guarantees. So that is basically what they want, right, in order for this war to end. And it seems like the definition of what a security, What a security protection, what a security guarantee looks like. I'm using quotation marks for those of you watching on video, because it's a term of art. They're not going to get NATO membership, but they are going to get some form of, quote, unquote, security guarantee. And in exchange, Russia is going to get land. Now, the concern of Ukraine, which is a good one, which is a valid one, which is a legitimate one, is, well, as soon as we agree to this peace proposal, Trump's going to leave office and Putin's just going to invade again. So what Ukraine wants is a lasting peace where they are aware of what their land is and they have the ability to defend it, that they have the ability to protect what is theirs. And they don't have to worry that in three years, when we get another weak Democrat in office like Joe Biden, was that Vladimir Putin is not going to decide just again, hey, now's the time to go get the rest of the country. That's a valid. That's a valid concern. That's a valid goal. And so the fact that we are inching closer to a piece there, I know we talked about economy, border crime, border crime directly related to United States, to good old usa. Obviously, the economy is, too. But while doing all of that, Trump is also simultaneously negotiating the largest number of global peace agreements that we've ever seen. And I. I just. I don't know that he has truly elite communicators out there. Making the case of how phenomenal this first year has truly been. I'm being honest with y'.

Clay Travis
And by the way, 800-282-2882, I don't know that we've ever seen a more effective, consequential and transformative first year in office of any president in my life. I, I can't think of anyone that has come in again. I'm 46, so this would go back. I know some of you are like, oh, my God, you're a baby. Others of you are like, you're an old dude now. And I get it. I'm middle aged. This goes back to basically 1980. I don't know that we have ever seen a more successful first year from a president. And that doesn't mean that he's perfect. But when you consider where we were with Joe Biden and where we are today, it is extraordinary what he has managed to do in these first 10 months. He has transformed on a level that we have not seen before. A, an incredible job. Here's more from Trump. By the way, this is pretty funny. This is vintage Trump. He's talking about J.B. pritzker. Violence continues, unfortunately, to plague the city of Chicago. Cut 26. Trump says, I don't like to talk about people being fat. Cut 26.
- [33:54]
Donald Trump
I looked at the various cases, granting mercy, discovering that the terrible trauma that everyone's going through, and I had a little bit of a Pritzker joke. I was going to talk about Pritzker in size, but when I talk about Pritzker, I get angry because he's not letting us do the job. So I'm not going to tell my Pritzker joke. They have a very cute little joke. You know, some speechwriter wrote some joke about his weight, but I would never want to talk about his weight. I don't talk about people being fat. I refuse to talk about the fact that he's a fat slob. I don't mention it.

Clay Travis
I mean, come on. This is at the pardoning ceremony. I don't know that American politics is prepared for when Trump steps off the stage. Just how boring and plodding and inconsequential much of our politics is compared to the Trump warp speed that we have all gotten used to. All right, I'll take some of your calls yesterday. I will maintain my argument that as we prepare to travel, many of you are terrorists in the choices that you are making when you travel. In particular, as I stare directly into this camera and speak quite clearly into this golden microphone, all of you that are going to recline your seats this week as a part of global travel. You're all travel terrorist. You are destroying the knees, the space, the ability for people to travel in peace and comfort. You are airplane travel terrorists. Not the kind who blow things up, but the kind who blow up decency in the friendly skies. I'll put a bunch of you disagree with that, even though I'm completely right. We'll play some of your talk backs there. You can always talk back variety of different topics. Producer Greg will check them out and you can make sure that you are on your way to letting everybody out there know what you think about every topic under the sun. But I want to tell you right now that our friends at birch gold make a tremendous difference. You know, gold has hit record highs this year and one reason it's hit record highs is because we're constantly having to deal with the fact that the currency is being devalued and people want hard physical assets for all time. I was just in the Vatican City and when we were, we were touring, they, they said, hey, you know, back in the day, think about this. Before there was electricity, which I didn't really think about. They said you would be blown away by the amount of gold in so many of the portraits inside of the Vatican. Our tour guide, he said, you know why that might be? He said, think about when you were walking with a torch, when you were walking with a candle. Gold was the universal sign of wealth in the ancient world. But also it would catch the flames and beautifully reflect and illuminate on the walls. I said, I never even really thought about that. The 1500s, the 1600s, actual gold embossed in many of these different wall paintings, in many of the different relics out there. Because gold was the universal sign of wealth. It was something that translated across borders. It was a sign and a value that was acceded to around the world. It still is today and it's why it's hitting record highs. And birch gold can tell you that gold could make sense in your portfolio as well. I've got gold in my portfolio. Do you have gold in your portfolio?

Exciting moment when it comes to keeping our brains healthy. American innovators are cracking the code on Alzheimer's. Real breakthroughs, helping people keep their memories, their independence, their lives. But here's the truth. Previous administration's policies could slow progress down. Our president is working to cut through the bureaucracy. That's where the Market Institute comes in. Their team is leading the fight to cut red tape, empower patients, and unleash innovation. America's got the best doctors, researchers, and entrepreneurs in the world ready to defeat Alzheimer's. They're just asking for the government to work for the people. Join the fight@marketinstitute.org that's marketinstitute.org because when we free the market, we make America healthier. Come back. Rolling through the program here on the Tuesday edition. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. I mentioned that I was going to play some of you terrorist airline flyers reclining your seats, and I'll hit some of those in a moment. But I was just reading during the commercial break. This happened down in Austin, Texas. The world's strongest woman was actually a man. They, I, I can't. This is real. They just had the World's strongest woman competition, and they posted the photos and the videos. It was a huge dude who decided to identify as a woman and had become the world's strongest woman. They just stripped him of his title. Maybe sanity is returning after all. When they discovered that it was actually a dude, I, I can't. Some of these stories, like these headlines. This is from the New York Post. I just shared it. Some of these stories I look at and I say, this, this can't be the world in which we are living. Last night, as I was getting ready for bed, I was watching the, the metal stand and it looked just like the Comedy Central south park episode where the macho man Randy Savage talks about transitioning the character who is winning the women's championships. This was a giant dude. I mean, a monster of a man. He looked like the mountain from Game of Thrones. And he had just won the strongest woman in the world competition in Texas, of all places. And I know some of y' all are going to say, austin, Clay, that ain't Texas. Okay, Still Texas. And to their credit, somehow they didn't know this was a dude. And when they found out, they kicked him to the curb. Oh, man, we got a ton of different really interesting calls. I'm going to hit some of these when we come back. Everybody stick with us, but I want to play the terrorists out there that are trying to defend themselves. Producer Greg I think we have a, B and C people doing the talk back last night trying to defend themselves. You're all travel terrorists. Listen.

Hi Clan Buck, I love your show, but today you really made a faux pas. I gotta call you out on this.

Your economy plus seat for somebody that wants to sit next to a friend.

Back in the chair that I paid for with that functionality? Maybe you don't realize this, but not all seats on the aircraft can recline. And the ones that don't are cheaper.

I don't even know what economy plus is. Buck said that. I don't know all these different airline seats. I fly Southwest Airlines. I am going to be on Southwest Airlines tonight. If you are on a Southwest Airlines fight, this is why I try to sit in the front row. My wife gets mad. She doesn't ever want you have the boarding passes and she never wants to sit in the front row because you can't sit with a laptop or a bag. You have to put it above you because there's no seat back in front of you to put your, you know, backpack or laptop or whatever it is. I sit on the front row when I can because no one can recline directly in front of me there. And if I can't do that, I actually try and profile who are the people that are likely to recline their seats the most. I want to sit in the aisle. I'm not saying I'm a giant, but that's my goal. Your travel terrorist. Cut B, who we got Talk back. I'm going to call you out on on the reclining seats. If I pay for that seat and I want to recline it because I'm in A, I'm on a long flight and it makes me more comfortable. Hey, sorry if it inconveniences you, but that is not my problem. It is in fact your problem. You're a terrorist. Cut C. Airline terrorists here. Hey Clay, lighten up.

Donald Trump
You're not that tall.
- [45:47]
Clay Travis
Just recline your seat and it'll be the same distance as it was before you gone. It's not true. And then I'm inconveniencing someone else. Your choice to inconvenience me puts me in the position of having to to inconvenience someone else. As a civilized non airline terrorist, I try to avoid inconveniencing people even when you are basically sitting in my lap. Even when you have declined your seat. To the point where I can't even move and I might as well be cuddling with you because we're basically sitting in the same seat. You're wrong. I'm right. More reactions, Lots of loaded lines when we come back. Thanks for hanging with us. Tuesday edition Playback. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
