Clay Travis
Welcome in Monday Edition. Happy early Thanksgiving week to all of you. I am Clay Travis. He is Buck Sexton. We will be with you Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of the week, taking you into Thanksgiving. I know that many of you have probably already begun your Thanksgiving travels. You are on the road. You are headed to airport records record number of American travelers expected all time for Thanksgiving this week. So we want all of you to stay safe, but we also want to entertain and inform all of you as we are rolling this week. I'm back from Italy. Amazing time over there. We'll probably have some fun discussing all of that. But Buck, there are a ton of what I would say are pretty significant stories that are out there that have happened in the last 72 hours or so. I think the Trump Mamdani Bro fest happened right after you would have gone off the air on Friday. If I'm remembering the timing correctly. We we need to dive into that. We have got Marjorie Taylor Greene out of kind of nowhere announcing that she was going to be leaving Congress. And we've got a really significant race that is taking place in actually my congressional district in the state of Tennessee. It is the last race that will happen basically before the midterms next year. Matt Van Epps, if you are listening to me in the Nashville area, will be on with us a little bit after the top of the next hour. We're also going to talk with our friend Kaylee McEnany. All that on the way. But Matt Van Epps is running against a crazy left wing. They're calling her the AOC of Tennessee. And we will play some of those cuts. And the biggest challenge there, Buck, is a lot of people are not aware that this election is taking place a week from right after Thanksgiving on December 2nd. So Democrats are really good. Their base always knows when every regularly unscheduled. I was just kind of an oxymoron. But in an unscheduled race is going to happen. A lot of Republicans, you're out there working, you're traveling for Thanksgiving. Early voting is underway in the Tennessee 7th congressional district, but they're spending a ton of money. I watched college football all weekend, Buck. They were running ads throughout the entire day's games. The amount of money the DNC is in the streets knocking on doors a lot. They are gambling, they are hoping that Republicans just don't show up in the measures that usually happen in midterms or certainly in presidential election cycles. This is a Trump +20 district. This is my district. We'll dive into this a bit, but we'll circle back around to it in a moment. Buck, were you as blown away by the Trump Mamdani bro fest as I was, or did you kind of expect that this is what would happen?
- [06:16]
Buck Sexton
I'm just going to say I nailed it. I said this on Friday. I said he's going to be very chummy and friendly and Trump's going to seize the moment. He's going to be very, he's going to be very Trump. Like, he's not going to have anything other than a smile on his face about this because he, I think, gains nothing by coming out guns blazing, so to speak, with mom Donnie, at this stage, why not say he's rooting for New York success? Why not say he's willing to extend a hand? And that way when Mamdani completely messes everything up, Trump can look at him and say, I tried, I offered, I was there for him. But also, Mamdani is good at exactly this. The grip and grin, the smile for the cameras, the I will talk around the issues, but be somewhat charming in his Mamdani way. And so everything, when I watched this on Friday, Kerry and happened right when we went, when I went off the air, you were out Friday and Kerry and I were watching the whole thing and it was exactly, honestly, it was exactly as I thought it would be. It was even pretty funny that the reporters tried to bait Trump into taking some swipes at Mamdani over things that he had said. You know, he called you a fascist. And Trump was like, eh, no big deal. Very Trump.
- [07:34]
Clay Travis
Yeah. He said, I've been called worse. I believe when he was said, hey, you know, he called you a despot and he just kind of shrugged it all off and said, I, I, I don't think this is very significant in terms of, in terms of what was going on there. And look, I, I think the biggest, the biggest thing that is going to come out here is let's play a couple of these cuts, maybe. Here's cut two. Here's Trump saying, we're going to, we have one thing in common. We both want New York City to do very well. Here's cut to.
- [08:09]
Buck Sexton
I wanted to congratulate the mayor. He really ran an incredible race against, you know, a lot of smart people, starting with the early primaries against some very tough people, very smart people. And he beat him and he beat him easily and I congratulated him. And we talked about some things in very strong common like housing and getting housing built and food and prices and the price of oil is coming way down. Anything I do is going to be good for New York. But I just want to congratulate, I think you're going to have hopefully a really great mayor. The better he does, the happier I am. I will say there's no difference in party, there's no difference in anything. And we're going to be helping him to make everybody's dream come true, having a strong and very safe New York. And congratulations, Mr. Mayor. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you. I appreciate it.
- [09:01]
Clay Travis
Now one more thing. I thought this was the funniest part of the whole meeting was when Trump is asked, when Mamdani is asked about calling Trump a fascist, Trump just says, you just go ahead and say yes. And here is what that sounded like. I thought probably the funniest part and for many of you, probably the part of this entire process where you just said they don't believe any of the things they say about Trump and Trump knows that to be true. Here was cut 7 their meeting.
- [09:30]
Commercial Announcer
Clarify your answer to Stephen Nelson. He asked about your comment calling the president a fascist and your answer was.
- [09:38]
Clay Travis
Both President Trump and I have been.
- [09:39]
Commercial Announcer
Clear about our positions and our views. Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
- [09:45]
Buck Sexton
I've spoken about. That's ok. You could just say yes. Okay. It's easier. It's easier than explaining it. I don't mind.
- [09:53]
Clay Travis
I don't mind. You can go ahead and say yes. Okay. So you predicted this buck. A lot of people out there are upset that there was not fireworks between the 2 800-282-2882. Maybe some of New Yorkers wanted it, but I agree with you. I kind of expected them to get along. This is how Trump typically behaves. The Zelinsky sort of situation is actually the rarity as opposed to the, the, the expected outcome.
- [10:21]
Buck Sexton
Well, this is expected, I think, Clay, because what would be the benefit of Trump getting aggressive with Mamdani before he's even taken office. We don't know what he's going to do. In fact, if anything, it would for anyone who is trying to observe this and make a determination about whether Mamdani is in fact a lunatic commie and terrible news for New York or not, for anyone who's still somewhat open minded about how this whole thing is Going to go. Trump jumping the gun and acting like Mamdani's already messed everything up would seem unfair, you know, again to us. We're prepared. We know what's going to happen here. But I'm saying, if you're watching this, saying, well, let's give him a chance, you know, let's see. There was no benefit to Trump being harsh with him. And if anything, I think you could argue it's something of the art of the deal where Trump is opening up the possibility down the line for at least on a few things. Maybe Mamdani will actually be less crazy than anticipated. I wouldn't bet money on it. But if the door is open there, you could see I, I think on immigration, Clay, and this would be my sense of where this is going. I think Momdani is a hard line. Will not. Ice, will not get any cooperation for the nypd. He will speak out against all the deportation stuff. I think that's an absolute unchangeable maniacs hurting people in the streets, you know, clubbing old ladies with lead pipes after they've already been arrested 50, 70, 80 times. Maybe Mamdani's not gonna want to go as far in that direction as some of his rhetoric has led us. That's the only possible silver lining that I could see from Mamdaniism. And Trump is saying, look, if you want to be a big boy and you want to play the right way, I'm here to help.
- [12:06]
Clay Travis
The most significant thing Momdani has done since he won the election, and you know her because you grew up around her. He's capable. We worked together at the nypd.
- [12:15]
Buck Sexton
She was in. She was in counterterrorism division, and I was in intel division. When I said work together, we were in different offices, but technically the same umbrella organization in theory.
- [12:25]
Clay Travis
Jessica Tish is going to remain in control of overall NYPD related issues if the mayor just kind of gets out of the way and lets her do the job. Which is the big question, right? To what extent is he going to allow the policies that are in place right now? Because I do think this is one of the parts of the job that Eric Adams deserves substantial credit for. He has actually managed to reverse much of the crime surge that we saw in the wake of COVID when everybody just decided, oh, it's racist. If we decide to try to put people behind bars or if we actually enforce the law, all of that has come back pretty substantially. And so the question is, is that going to be allowed to continue or is it going to. To be a case where he allows left wingers to decide, for instance that the. That the enforcement of. Of the crime that the arrest of criminals and putting them behind bars and is not going to be allowed to occur. Let me give a. I think I mentioned this on the show before, but in my home city of Nashville, we're on track right now. Buck. For a 60 year low in violent crime. No one is talking about Memphis. Memphis is making. We need to get some people from Memphis on to tell the story there, Buck. The surge of support from federal. And no one is talking about it. It's being transformative to the lives of many people in Memphis.
- [13:52]
Buck Sexton
One of the reasons why Nashville is what it is meaning it's a place with booming real estate and there's a really good feeling about the place. It's like the bachelorette capital of the whole country. What are those things? Those like mobile bars where you're peddling or something?
- [14:08]
Clay Travis
Pedal taverns.
- [14:10]
Buck Sexton
Pedal taverns. Thank you. They got these girls who are all like woo all over Nashville with you know, who let the dogs out and they're drinking beer and they have their. Like. If you haven't been in Nashville, trust.
- [14:20]
Clay Travis
Me, you got to go check this crazy. The number of girls in sundresses and cowboy boots riding around drinking alcohol in the middle of the day. Bachelorette party capital of America. It is. It's because it's so safe that people.
- [14:32]
Buck Sexton
Feel like that's why girls are like, let's get 20 of us there. We can all go out and party. And it's not a scary city. There are other cities where look like people don't do that in New Orleans the way they would have even 20, 30 years ago. You're right. Urban street, all that stuff, it's really changed. You know, people are much more scared in some cities than they used to be anyway. But Nashville is. Is in the right, certainly on the right side of this issue. The Memphis thing I think is fascinating. We should talk more about that. But Clay, I pulled up the Eric Adams numbers. 488 homicides in New York, which was the most since 1996.
- [15:08]
Clay Travis
And that would have been what year?
- [15:10]
Buck Sexton
2021. The BLM that was the BLM year. So that was pre Adams that. That was up and it was up 30% from the year before that. Now it's at a very low overall rate. It was at 386 before that. Adams got it down basically 27%. So the BLM decline, I mean the BLM increase in the murder rate, he brought it back down to where it was, which is a very low rate. So he actually wasn't bad on the crime issue.
- [15:38]
Clay Travis
Yes. Which really shows that he wasn't a Katish. He let her do the job. And that's the question, biggest question I have about Mandani is, is he going to get in the way of success?
- [15:49]
Buck Sexton
I mean, there are some places that have also had declines since the BLM spike was so high that it was hard to get, you know, hard to have another year at quite that level. But a 30% decline is, you know, that's, that's a respectable decline over the course of four years that Adams managed. So for a guy who has like 7% approval rating or something, you know, there are other aspects of the city. It's really the corruption stuff. And I think a lot of that was. Was drummed up by the media deciding, you know, the Turkish Airlines upgrades and stuff. A lot of that was a propaganda campaign against him because he didn't think New York City should be overrun with illegals. He thought that actual New Yorkers should get the benefits of being in New York.
- [16:30]
Clay Travis
Yeah. Look, I wish Eric. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I wish Eric Adams was coming back for a second term. We'll get into some of that. We'll continue to break that down. Maybe some of you want to react and the mtg, a lot of people, Marjorie Taylor Greene didn't see that departure coming. We'll discuss what we thought. I haven't discussed that with Buck. I'm curious what his read on it is. In the meantime, there is some positivity out there. Also, we should talk about what's going on with Ukraine. But Secretary of State Marco Rubio said yesterday the Russia, Ukraine peace talks have been meaningful and productive. Will that 28 point plan laid out by the Trump administration provide a good starting point? We'll see. We do know that the difference between what existed in Gaza before Trump and after Trump is transformative. And we also know that the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, that's the ifcj, is continuing to do what they can to help Jews in Ukraine, particularly the elderly. Through the ifcj, thanks to your donations, you can help bring hope to those in need. Your gift of $25 helps provide a box packed with life saving essentials and that will help feed families and individuals feeling especially ignored and left to fend for themselves.

Clay's in a new studio space, but I don't think what I'm seeing relates to the studio. And in fact, I think there's a special light around his head, sort of like a halo. We the team, we thought maybe after his meeting with the Pope, Clay should have his own intro and theme music. Listen up everybody. Clay, now that you have been blessed by his Holiness the Pope himself in person, what wisdom, what insights do you have to share with all of us here? I've never gotten to meet the Pope. I'm quite jealous. Go ahead, tell me about this.
- [22:37]
Clay Travis
Well, I'm quite godly, as everyone who regularly listens to this program already knew. So this is just a further, we can cut the theme music.
- [22:45]
Buck Sexton
Thanks guys.
- [22:46]
Clay Travis
This is just a further endorsement of that. I, I, I just have to say first of all to ambassador Brian Birch of the Holy See and Tillman Fertitta, who is running, who is the ambassador of Italy. We had dinner with them. They set this all up. And it's rare when you just have an awesome story, which is my law school buddy who now owns the Chicago White Sox, invited the Pope to throw out the first pitch at a proposed new stadium that they're working on. And I think Buck, as a result of us all pulling together and doing this, setting up this meeting, getting this done, he and I talked about this a while back. He said, hey, how should I introduce myself? And I said, well, we should get the Pope to throw out the first pick pitch at your brand new baseball stadium. And now he's conveyed the offer. The Pope has said that he wants to do it. He's a big White Sox fan. And I just think it's a super awesome story regardless of what the background is. The idea, Buck, if I had told you last year, hey, we're going to have an American Pope and he's just going to be a normal dude from the south side of Chicago in many ways and he's going to be a huge sports fan of the White Sox and he's going to show up and throw out the first pitch in a few years at a new stadium. And I got to be a part of trying to help set that up. I mean, that's a ridiculous story. That all came together.

The Holy Father didn't ask for a signed copy of balls.

Clay Travis
Somebody asked if I was going to take the Holy Father a cap. Cap, a copy of balls. And even I, who am shameless when it comes to self promotion, was like, I don't think the Holy Father needs to be getting a copy of balls from me. It's amazing.

Clay Travis
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Ship Show. Okay, I want to give a little bit of a lead up, Buck, because there is a race that is going to happen eight days from now. They are 1 billion percent relying on the fact that lots of Republicans are not going to show up and vote. And this is a race that the White House has gotten involved in. There we don't have a very substantial majority in the House. Democrats coming off of the win in Virginia and the win in New Jersey are pouring money and resources like crazy into this race. It is the Tennessee 7th congressional district. This is a big district. It stretches all the way up to basically Fort Campbell. For many of you out there that are in the military or have served, you know, Fort Campbell goes all the way to the border basically with Kentucky, runs all the way to the border with Alabama on the south side. I'm in this district. They cut Nashville into three different congressional districts. I am in this district. The congressman is retiring. Mark Green. All they, they are trying to pull off a huge upset. And let me give you an idea, Buck. This is a headline right now in the bulwark I'm reading from. This is the. What, what was the initial impetus of the bulwark? It was like were the Trump Republicans who. The anti Trump Republicans like that.
- [27:05]
Buck Sexton
The real, the real Republicans.
- [27:07]
Clay Travis
That was their entire existence for now. They're basically just like all they do is vote for Democrats. Right? I mean they, they basically are a Democrat operative now. This is what they wrote. This is a story up on their site. The 7th Tennessee district is reliably Republican. Trump carried it by 22 percentage points in 24. Green won his last two races by a similar margin. It includes parts of Williamson county, one of the wealthiest counties in the country. The Fort Campbell military base also falls within the district, along with a vast swath of rural farmland, perhaps most tantalizing for Democrats. Listen to this. A number of MAGA firebrands live in or near the district, like conservative sports radio personality Clay Travis, YouTuber Brett Cooper, and right wing podcaster Candace Owens. Imagine as an example, the psychic shock of a Republican emerging victorious in the movie star enclave of Beverly Hills, Tennessee. Seven isn't where the two political parties tend to fight it out, but they have poured tons of money in here. And here's what they're relying on. And we're gonna bring on the congressman in the top of the next hour. They're relying on Republicans not showing up. Buck, you know this. The crazy base of the Democrat Party, the people who have the most fervent Trump derangement syndrome on the planet. They show up for dog catcher races to vote against Trump. They show up for every race, their base. They are going to show up and vote. And they're trying to steal this election to try to diminish Republican control of the House. So we got to show up is.
- [29:02]
Buck Sexton
A big deal because they're going to use this as a, if they can pull this off as a rallying cry for the midterms, they're going to say it's a harbinger for the midterms. This shows where the momentum is.
- [29:15]
Clay Travis
That's exactly right.
- [29:16]
Buck Sexton
This is, and it's a, it's one of these things where even if they get close enough, they're willing to pour all this money into it and all this resource, all these resources and time because they feel like they're playing with house money. They'll get money from the coasts. They'll get the big, big Democrat money will pour in if they can steal a seat from, dare I say, Clay Travis's backyard, my seat, which is, this is what, this is what I'm saying. Like they're going right into your kitchen and they're trying to eat your drumsticks, my friend. They're trying to take it right off your plate and, and you and, and what they said. Brett Cooper, I mean, there's a bunch.
- [29:54]
Clay Travis
Tommy texted me over the weekend, fired up about this because again, the election, you can go early vote right now in Tennessee 7. OK. And if you don't know if this is your district and they're counting on this, too, Fort Campbell, all of you guys who were up there, who are soldiers or who have live in the Clarksville area, it is likely your district all the way down to the border with Alabama. If you live in that range, this is likely your district. If you're in the Franklin area where I live, Brentwood, Nashville, many parts of Nashville, this is your district. It's a little bit confusing, Buck, because even in my neighborhood, they divide it by street. So some people are represented by one congressman, others by another. And it can be literally, it's divided in my neighborhood. So it's sometimes confusing for people to know what district they're in. They're taking advantage of this. If you're not sure, worst case scenario, show up again. This is Mark Green's district. But a lot of you out there, you may not know because the lines, especially in the Nashville area, are street to street in neighborhoods. Worst case scenario, you show up and they say, hey, this is not your district. I just don't. They're trying to take advantage of us.
- [31:09]
Buck Sexton
Yeah, you got to go all out here, my friend, because the Democrat media narrative is going to be not even Clay Travis and Tommy taking shots at.
- [31:20]
Clay Travis
Me already in the article.
- [31:22]
Buck Sexton
Right. But I'm saying if they win, then it's going to be see how deflated MAGA is even These big MAGA names couldn't. Couldn't help pull this off.
- [31:31]
Clay Travis
Right?
- [31:31]
Buck Sexton
So this. This would be like if Republicans were trying to win a congressional seat from the Democrats in Malibu.
- [31:37]
Clay Travis
Yeah, Beverly Hills was what Bull said. I mean, this is our base. Like, we got to show up. I'm fired up about this because you're right. People are going to attack me if this happens. They're going to say, Clay Travis doesn't even live in a Republican district anymore. This is. I mean, that'll be a headline.

Buck Sexton
You got to just, you know, you got to talk to the guy at Peg Leg Porker was my favorite barbecue there. And you got to have, like, a big thing, outdoor thing, a rally. And you got to get everybody to show up, my friend.
- [32:03]
Clay Travis
You got to get the.
- [32:03]
Buck Sexton
You got to get the turnout operation in full swing.
- [32:06]
Clay Travis
Matt Van Epps is going to be on with us at the top of the next hour. I talked to him over the weekend. I'll say it again on the air, but I told him, whatever you want me to do. You want to do a rally, you want to do an event, I will show up. Obviously, getting him on the show is substantial. I've been sharing a bunch of the clips. Buck, this chick is crazy.
- [32:26]
Buck Sexton
Isn't she the one who said she hates Nashville?
- [32:28]
Clay Travis
Yeah.
- [32:28]
Buck Sexton
Isn't that. How do you run if you hate a place? I don't understand this, actually. No, that's what Democrats do. They want power so they can destroy the places they live.
- [32:37]
Clay Travis
But she was on msnbc. I need to pull up the sound bites. Do we have a couple of these things just to kind of give you a sense of how crazy this chick is? Here she was on msnbc, Buck. This is msnbc. She didn't just say she wanted to defund the police. She said she wanted to shut down the Metro Nashville Police Department. She also said she supported people burning down police stations. MSNBC asked her about this. This is MSNBC cut 16.
- [33:07]
Commercial Announcer
You said in those since deleted tweets that the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department should be dissolved. Another cheered on a teachers union saying that defund the police should be a requirement for schools reopening. And another saying, good morning, especially to the 50 of Americans that believe burning down a police station is justified. Do you still stand by those comments? And if not, is there anything you want to clarify? Yeah, I'm not going to engage in cable news talking points.
- [33:35]
Clay Travis
So you don't want to clarify whether.
- [33:37]
Commercial Announcer
You still believe that the police should be defunded?
- [33:40]
Clay Travis
Once again, I don't remember these Tweets. But what I'm saying is, is that.
- [33:45]
Commercial Announcer
I'm not asking if you remember, what is your position today? How's that on this issue? I mean, once again, I'm here to.
- [33:51]
Clay Travis
Talk about my race, which is in literally nine days.
- [33:55]
Buck Sexton
Clay, Clay, this chick is insane. You guys cannot. You cannot allow this to happen. You have to get everybody out.
- [34:03]
Clay Travis
That's MSNBC asking her, do you still support defunding the police? Buck, she cheered on the burning down of police stations. I mean, look, there are Democrats out there where you talk and you're like, man, I don't agree with these perspectives. This chick is. I'm trying to avoid cursing. Crazy. She is absolutely insane. So again, they're counting on their base of crazies. Think about how crazy she is. She won't even walk back saying that she wants to defund the police. I think we listen to this ad too, Buck. She chased ICE agents around in Nashville to try to keep them from being able to do their jobs. I believe this is cut 15. Listen, Afton Bain says I'm a very radical person. So radical.
- [34:50]
Commercial Announcer
Bane thinks rioting is a way for people to express themselves.
- [34:55]
Clay Travis
Worse, Bane went on a midnight joyride harassing ICE officers and state troopers.
- [35:00]
Commercial Announcer
This is great. We've got our girl squad and we're bullying the ICE vehicles and state troopers.
- [35:05]
Clay Travis
So this is like. And it's really scary. Stop, Afton.
- [35:10]
Buck Sexton
Bane.
- [35:11]
Clay Travis
So radical. It's scary. This is real.
- [35:15]
Buck Sexton
Yeah, I don't even. I have never heard. Have you met anyone or heard of anyone before named Afton? I didn't know this was a name.
- [35:22]
Clay Travis
She's a rich kid from East Tennessee who went to rich private schools. She's 35, I think, unmarried. She is the quintessential crazy left wing.
- [35:34]
Buck Sexton
She's a white. A white left wing chick that's been able to support herself in the. The upper, upper echelons of society with money made by other people her entire life and has no idea how the real world actually works and has insane ideas that would destroy civilization. Also known as the base of the Democrat Party. Cool.
- [35:51]
Clay Travis
They're going to show up and vote for her. They're going to show up and vote for her. This chick makes Kamala Harris seem conservative. And Kamala Harris showed up and tried to campaign for her, but she didn't want to be seen with Kamala Harris, which is funny in and of itself because there are a lot of people in Nashville who are not big fans of Kamala Harris. So my point on this, and we're Going to have Congressman Van Epps again. Early voting is going on right now. They are pouring resources into this district like crazy because the insane left wing afton Bain, like 35 year old white women who have lost their minds, they've already voted. They're showing up. And this district, again, it's a Trump district. But they think that Republicans aren't going to show up because it's a December 2nd, it's in the middle of the Thanksgiving holiday. It is not ideal timing.
- [36:48]
Buck Sexton
Are you, are, are you getting Tommy all fired up over this? And Candace lives in this area and they're gonna have.
- [36:53]
Clay Travis
I'm gonna have a rally maybe tomorrow. You're out.
- [36:56]
Buck Sexton
You gotta call the Avengers, buddy.
- [36:57]
Clay Travis
You got.
- [36:58]
Buck Sexton
You cannot allow them to take. You cannot allow them to take this, this congressional seat. This is nuts.
- [37:03]
Clay Travis
No, we got to get everybody together. I mean, this is. I went on Friday with Laura Ingram and talked about it. I mean, this is going to be, I think, a lead story nationwide over the next week. And again, I'm just trying to wake people up because I think a lot of people out there are not aware. I mean, how often do you vote for a congressional seat on December 2?
- [37:24]
Buck Sexton
Well, this is also why Democrats think that they can pull this off, right? Because everyone's going to be in their turkey coma.
- [37:30]
Commercial Announcer
All right?
- [37:30]
Buck Sexton
Too much on Thanksgiving and you might.
- [37:32]
Clay Travis
Be on the road. Some of you are not going to be back for by December 2nd. So if you're listening to me right now, go vote early right now if you're not going to be back. And Buck, the reason they think it is, they looked at the total turnout in the primary and there were only about 5,000 more Republicans who showed up in the primary than Democrats. And so they looked at that and said, wait a minute, if we pour money in here, we can win this thing.
- [37:56]
Buck Sexton
I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna say it. I'm gonna put a marker down here for all of our, all of our Nashville area audience. Clay, you don't go and vote on this thing. No cobbler for you. No cobbler on Thanksgiving. You're cut off from the smash pie.
- [38:09]
Clay Travis
Greatest dessert. Greatest dessert. You don't. You don't deserve it. I. I'm signing on. Co sign.

It's. It's important. All right. This is a busy week. For those working at Birch Gold Group. It's the final week of their offer to provide you with free gold as part of your qualifying purchase. This is not the first year they've made such an offer. Each November as Black Friday approaches. Birch Gold does this. Here are the details. When you convert existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA in gold, birch Gold will send free gold to your home for every $20,000 purchased. The value of gold has gone up some 53% this year. What was once $2,300 an ounce is now over $4,000 for the same ounce of gold. What causes that kind of increase in the price of gold? Global uncertainty from conflicts in the Middle east and Ukraine is one factor. Central banks also are pulling away from the US Dollar as the global reserve currency and purchasing more gold instead. Gold thrives in times of uncertainty. It's one of the reasons why I bought more gold this year. If you're looking to diversify your savings, Birch Gold can help you. Plus now through Friday, November 28th, get free gold with a qualifying purchase. Text My Name Buck to 989898 to claim your eligibility for a free info kit on gold. But your opportunity for free Gold with purchase ends the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, November 28th, so don't wait. It's only a few days away. Text buck to the number 9,898,98 for full details.

- [43:16]
Clay Travis
Yes, but we can talk. Yeah, we can talk at 1:30 certainly about this with Kayleigh McEnany legally.
- [43:22]
Buck Sexton
So we've got a. A judge has dismissed the DOJ cases against James Comey and Letitia James dismissed both cases. Look, we, I've been telling you all along that James Comey there's. If you have a lib judge, if you have a lib anything, a lib on the jury. They're just not going to let him go to prison. He's like a, he's like Fauci to them. He's like a symbol of their political identity. So we'll get into more of the details. But that's, that's a pretty frustrating.
- [43:51]
Clay Travis
Let me just explain exactly what's going on here. Succinctly, the judge says that, that Lindsey Halligan was not appropriately appointed as a U.S. attorney and therefore he is saying that the indictments from the grand jury are invalid as a result of that. And again, this will be appealed. This will continue. But he says that Lindsey Halligan is unlawfully serving in the role. This is super nerdy, but this is going to be appealed. And the question will be it, does Lindsey Halligan have the authority to be acting as the U.S. attorney because she was the presiding attorney who brought these charges and got the indictments from the grand jury. So this is not saying that the underlying indictments are invalid or that there aren't criminal allegations that have been, have been indicted properly. It is saying that the judge, the judge is saying that Halligan didn't have the authority to be able to bring these, bring these charges. So this is really in the weeds. Again, it doesn't go to the legitimacy of the charges themselves. It goes to whether the U.S. attorney who brought the charges was properly vested with the authority to be doing so.
- [45:20]
Buck Sexton
But it also goes to, I think, how much the judge here just wants to make these things go away.
- [45:26]
Clay Travis
Well, totally.
- [45:27]
Buck Sexton
Right. I mean, this is. They're going to throw every procedural block, everything they have at this. I think there's no question. Let's do Sean and Queens calling in. What's going on, Sean? Talk about Trump and Mamdani. I wasn't expecting Trump to be like some rude, you know, you know, whatever in the overall. Mom. Donnie.
- [45:54]
Clay Travis
What I wasn't expecting was for our.
- [45:56]
Buck Sexton
President, a man who I support feverishly to tell me as a New Yorker.
- [46:02]
Clay Travis
That he's going to be a good.
- [46:03]
Buck Sexton
Mayor, knowing he is a Marxist communist. I was not expecting my president to lavish this radical Islamic sympathizer, this anti Semite, this racist, this Marxist communist the.
- [46:20]
Clay Travis
Way he did in the Oval Office.
- [46:22]
Buck Sexton
For the world to witness. He told us us Conservatives might be surprised by the things he's going to do.
- [46:30]
Clay Travis
The man is a Marxist communist.
- [46:32]
Buck Sexton
There is nothing he can do that.
- [46:34]
Clay Travis
I'm going to say, hey, yeah, go, go on, Mom. Donnie, like, what are you talking about, man?
- [46:39]
Buck Sexton
Sean, I think a lot of we're at timeshot. I just say I think a lot of New Yorkers are frustrated, honestly as well, with, with that. But I'll also tell you this. I told you guys, this is how Trump is on the big stage in a big moment. He's going for the glamour, the lights. Be all that Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
