The AOC of TN Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District special election and the Democrats’ strategy to flip a deep-red seat. A high-stakes congressional race in Clay calls his home district. Democrats are pouring millions into this special election scheduled for December 2, hoping low Republican turnout during the holiday season will flip a Trump +20 seat. Clay warns that the Democratic candidate, Aftyn Behn, has an extreme record—supporting defunding police, cheering riots, and even chasing ICE agents—while Republicans must mobilize early voting to prevent a major upset. This race could become a national narrative ahead of the midterms, making turnout critical. Vote for Matt Van Epps! A focus on Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District special election, where candidate Matt Van Epps joins the show to discuss early voting deadlines, district confusion, and the stakes of stopping what he calls a “radical left-wing agenda.” Van Epps emphasizes key issues like affordability, inflation, energy independence, and tax cuts, while outlining his vision for supporting veterans, law enforcement, and working families. He also details the district’s geography—from Clarksville and Fort Campbell to Nashville and Franklin—and urges listeners to vote before Thanksgiving or on Election Day, December 2. Our Friend Kayleigh McEnany White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany analyzes recent judicial rulings dismissing cases against Letitia James and James Comey, explaining why these decisions were procedural rather than merit-based and how the Trump administration can refile. McEnany also weighs in on Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation, the GOP’s messaging on affordability, and innovative housing and tax proposals from President Trump’s administration, including no tax on tips and overtime. She highlights Trump’s economic record, contrasting it with Biden-era inflation, and predicts a political boomerang effect in the midterms. Listeners also hear candid insights on family, career balance, and motherhood from McEnany, followed by a lighter segment on the viral “Whispering Angel” rosé controversy involving Clay Travis. The hour closes with audience calls discussing Trump’s strategic approach to New York’s socialist policies, the impact of federal law enforcement in Memphis, and speculation about future Democratic leadership. Clay and Buck tease upcoming analysis on Venezuela, MTG’s political fallout, and Trump’s diplomatic chess moves with global leaders. Clay Meets the Pope Clay shares an exclusive story about his private Vatican tour, meeting the Pope, and exploring historical maps from the Age of Exploration, while Buck reveals his family’s genealogical ties to John Speed, Queen Elizabeth I’s chief cartographer. The conversation shifts to reflections on ancient Rome, the Coliseum’s role in sports history, and critiques of Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations as “philosophy lite,” even noting Bill Clinton’s admiration for the text. Clay contrasts America’s youth with Europe’s deep history, citing experiences in Italy, Greece, and Israel, and thanks ambassadors appointed by the Trump administration for facilitating his trip. Political analysis takes center stage with discussion of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s decision to leave Congress, framed as part of a troubling trend where “crazy” behavior is rewarded in media. The hosts critique social media’s lack of accountability and ego-driven infighting on the right, warning that attention-seeking undermines conservative principles. They praise President Donald Trump for his decisive strike on Iran, arguing it brought stability to the Middle East without American casualties and strengthened the Abraham Accords.
