Hey, I'm Clay Travis.

Buck Sexton (3:06)

And I'm Buck Sexton. You know what we're thankful for this year, all of you?

Clay Travis (3:10)

That's right. We have the best radio audience in the country, hands down.

Buck Sexton (3:14)

Sending a big warm and happy Thanksgiving from the Clay and Buck show.

Clay Travis (3:19)

Welcome back in Clay Travis. Buck Sexton show. Buck is traveling up to New York City. We will be in with you tomorrow. I am traveling as well. A lot of you traveling. This is the busiest travel day of the year Sunday, second busiest travel day of the year, which makes sense. A lot of people hitting the roads, 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 too 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 what's happening. So if you live in the Nashville area, if you live in the Franklin Brentwood area, if you live north of town in Clarksville, if you live all the way down to near the border with Alabama, this is a sliver of the of that of that region, and we need you to get out and vote. So here are. And if you're saying to yourself, okay, what could the difference really be? Clay, this chick that the Democrats have nominated, she makes AOC seem sane. This is how wild she is. Cut nine. This is Afton Bain saying she hates Nashville. This is in February of 2020. She wants to represent Nashville. This is her on a podcast. Cut nine.

Afton Bain (6:21)

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 Nashville apparently and its city to the rest of the country that I hate it.

Clay Travis (6:37)

Okay, 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.

Afton Bain (6:59)

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, and its city to the rest of the country that I hate it.

Clay Travis (7:14)

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 every country 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.

Afton Bain (8:20)

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 at the top of my lungs. And where I am now with Seeing the consequences and the ramifications of women having kids and being in the political field and what they're able to achieve because we don't offer. 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 raise children. And I think in the south, it's incredibly difficult to shake those, especially if you've grown up here. And that's all you've been told is the definition of success, the metrics of success, how many kids you have, the square footage of your house and where your kids go to school.

Clay Travis (9:19)

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 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 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 gotta do everything we can to make people aware there's an election going on, but also to hear what she actually believes, because we gotta 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 gonna go vote on election day. My wife works the polls. I gotta be. Be careful with that phrasing. She works at the polls. She volunteers to. To help people vote. And so I'm gonna 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.

Afton Bain (12:50)

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 young women. And I think we have, you know, as. As birther, you know, as women who can give birth. Men and women who can give birth. We 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.

Clay Travis (13:31)

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. And I. 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, I, I can't live in this crazy chick's district for any days at all. I told you yesterday, they're already writing articles saying, sin Clay Travis, a message. Sin 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 want to put a crazy chicken. Cannot happen.

Clay Travis (23:00)

Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Roberta down in Florida wants to weigh in on the Afton Bain take. Let me just say this. I do think this is a big cultural battle that's going on right now over what should you aspire to. Should you aspire to. And look, the ideal scenario is you can do a lot of different things, but should you aspire to a childless life of material success? Some people want that. Or should you aspire to raise children and try to impart upon them the wisdom of your time? This Afton Bain chick, and there are a lot of them in the Democrat party right now, they actually look with contempt upon mothers. Roberta, you want to weigh in on that? You're from Florida. What was your reaction?

Roberta (Caller) (23:51)

Well, quite honestly, I tear up when I hear this. I'm a mother of four. Very blessed. I have four wonderful children. Of course I'm all for, you know, I was raised in the patriarchal. I was blessed. I feel blessed that I was raised that way. I feel blessed that, you know, I wanted to go on and have a family and have children. And it just, when I hear her talking and to think that she wants to get into public office, it's, it's scary. It's very scary. But you know, you, everybody has the right to feel and do it. You know, I'm not against people that don't want children. I don't believe everybody should have children. But to go to the other extreme.

Ryan Gardusky (24:33)

And.

Roberta (Caller) (24:33)

And, you know, that's why. What a tragic thing that, you know, Charlie Kirk was assassinated because all he was trying to do was to bring those lost kids back the other way, you know, like, bring them, you know, reel them back in, you know, and. And anyway, that's. That's just it. I just. I almost want to say keep it coming, because the crazier they've become, the more chance I'm hoping that we have to keep the country going in the right direction.

Clay Travis (25:05)

Well, thank you for the call, Roberta. Have a good Thanksgiving with those four kids. I think there's a difference between you can choose whether or not you want to have kids. Everybody has that right. And having contempt for people who have chosen to have children and then to go the next step and say, I don't want kids. I want power. I'm sorry. The people that I want to have power, as a general rule, tend to be parents and grandparents. Because you're trying to think. That's what I think about every day. How do I make the world better for the people who are younger than me, who are coming along behind me? If you're just nakedly ambitious for power, you're not going to make the right choices for the country. And if you're ridiculing people who are choosing to have children, I don't think you should be anywhere near Capitol Hill. Heck, I don't think you should be anywhere near the State House. I think the people who put her in the State House have actually failed. East Nashville, this is on you, you morons. When the Russia Ukraine war broke out over three years ago, no one imagined all the destruction, death, and hardship. At first, a lot of nonprofit organizations made Ukraine their priority, rightfully so. Then on October 7, 2023, we saw what happened when Hamas invaded Israel and killed 1200 innocent Israelis and captured 250 hostages. A lot of you stepped up and fought back to try to protect the people of Israel. And many of you, including Buck and me, are still doing that. Join your your opportunity now to give@ FellowshipGift.org that's the IFCJ, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Give@ Fellowship gift.org that's fellowshipgift.org welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We are joined by Ryan Gardusky now, our gay data nerd. You can find him in the Clay and Buck podcast network. Ryan, happy early Thanksgiving to you. Before we get into your data, what is your position on people reclining seats on airplanes.

Ryan Gardusky (27:20)

Oh, they're awful. I mean, it's not that hard to set up straight, like, go set. 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. Like, calm down if it's a two hour flight, you know, Susan, you could sit up the whole time.

Clay Travis (27:38)

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. 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 chicken.

Ryan Gardusky (28:32)

So the district is a district. It's 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 Clarksville, Tennessee and some suburbs of Nashville. The suburbs of Nashville are very liberal about, you know, probably D +6DMOs. 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 a tremendous amount. About 63,000 ballots have already been cast out of the 336,000 that were cast in 2024. 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, district runs all the way from the north part of Tennessee, and it 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 turnout, I think it'll be enough to sit there and kind of counter whatever. Clarksville and Nashville sit there and throw at them. I'm not that worried. It would take, really a monsoon. The district hasn't voted for a Democrat in a statewide election since 20. It's been. It's pretty. It's not a. It's not a. It's not a district that. Sorry. In 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 in a 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.

Clay Travis (30:34)

So for people who don't know, because 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 2022 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?

Ryan Gardusky (32:25)

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 they don't necessarily show what the overall basic baseline of the election is going to be, but they do show an enthusiasm. And Democrats certainly have an enthusiasm. That's why the seat in Tennessee that you're mentioning, which is an R plus 20 seat, is causing some heartburn among Republicans. David Shore, who is a very brilliant progressive data analyst, he did one of the smartest post2024 election analysis there were. So he did a middle mid year. 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 becoming increasingly important and much more trusted among Democrats. And Democrats are gaining tremendously on issues like the economy, cost of living, inflation and tax AI, 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 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 these 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 Mandani 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 Mandani candidate. If he wins, it really increases the Republicans chances and Republicans are polling ahead not only for that race but also for the governor's race. So Michigan is really key, but I would like to see who was Actually the Democratic nominee ahead of the election before making any prognostication.

Clay Travis (35:01)

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 gotta make a 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?

Ryan Gardusky (36:03)

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 comed. But they made a sequel as 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 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.

I want everybody. Hold on. Sorry to cut you. I want everybody to give me your talkbacks. 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. Cause I told. Told everybody a couple years ago, Ro. 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?

Ryan Gardusky (38:04)

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 DiCaprio dies in the movie, but that I would actually.

Clay Travis (38:15)

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.

Ryan Gardusky (38:22)

And 20 years ago, if you haven't watched now, I don't know what to do.

Clay Travis (38:28)

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 a numbers game. What else should we know?

Ryan Gardusky (38:52)

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 there and 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 generous Hispanics are where the entire country is in 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 mass 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 sinking him right now with all these voters. Immigration is not the issue that is moving them. It is the economy right now.

Clay Travis (40:07)

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?

Ryan Gardusky (40:18)

Yeah, yeah, I'm not, I'm not a big turkey person. I really prefer ham on Thanksgiving and that's probably sacrilegious, but I'm not a huge turkey person.

Clay Travis (40:26)

I don't think that's a bad idea. I like that you went food because. Were you going to say alcohol? Was that your first draft pick?

Roberta (Caller) (40:32)

No.

Ryan Gardusky (40:32)

Now when I, my family doesn't drink, so I don't know how you make it through by myself. I do eat. Yeah, I know. 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.

Clay Travis (40:51)

Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show we got a lot of people who want to weigh in a variety of different topics topics. Let me kind of dive in here to one of our emailers. I want to make sure that I get this right. Where was this? We had a talk back. A lot of you weighing In Steve from Denver. Oh, let's see. DD Clay, you're like a trans.

Ryan Gardusky (47:33)

I have to accept how you feel.

Clay Travis (47:35)

And live by how you feel. Come on, man. He's talking about seat reclining. I actually think he's completely wrong in the analogy there. You can do whatever you want in your space. You watch any show, you watch any movie. But as soon as you take over MySpace, then you are infringing on my world, right? Like, if you want to put on a dress and you want to wear high heels and you want to dance around and pretend you're a chick, whatever, if that makes you happy and you're a grown man. But as soon as you say, and I get to infringe on your world and win a women's championship, then I'm not for it. So if you want to, you know, like, sit around in your frilly dress and you want to sit in your area and you want to be like, I'm the most beautiful woman in row 64. Whatever, happy for you. As soon as you recline your seat into my space, you're the fake champ chick taking over my world. I'm not having it. You're wrong. I'm right. We're going to take a bunch of your calls. Tons of them in the third hour Tuesday edition of the program. Buck traveling to New York City. He'll be back with me tomorrow on Thanksgiving eve. My thanks to Ryan Gardusky. I guarantee you we're going to be deluged. This is a real story. It's very funny. Rush hour 4 green lit after President Trump said it need to happen. Also, producer Alone Ali tells me that they're making a Broadway show version of the Lost Boys, the iconic 1980s vampire movie. Is it a musical, ally or no? Oh, God. There's a zero percent chance I'm going to see it. If it's a musical, there's a hundred percent chance I'm gonna go see it if it's not a musical. Producer Ali already has her tickets, by the way. Not the tickets. We got to go watch the. The big event at the White House today where the turkeys got spared. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
