• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome in to the one week until the midterms play
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and buck spectacular. We appreciate all of you hanging out
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: with us. We particularly love those of you who have
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: already early voted as 33 million people nationwide have early voted.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: And some of the numbers are coming out and they
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: are fantastic. And some of the numbers I'm talking about
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: in the States and some of the numbers are coming out.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: And I'm thinking to myself, That ain't great. So we
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: need as many of you possible to get out and vote.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And if you said, okay, Clay, which states do you
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: think things are going particularly well in? I would point
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and say, boy, there's actually a lot of them. Pennsylvania.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Republicans in Pennsylvania are doing fantastic in the early vote
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: compared to 2022. A lot of states are nearly identical.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: For instance, Maine. is virtually identical to what happened in 2022.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: 33 million early votes out there. Not a surprise. Floridians
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: are doing quite well. If you said to me, Clay,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: where are you apprehensive? Where are you nervous about how...
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: By the way, Arizona, fantastically well compared to what has
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: happened in the past. If you said, Clay, where are
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you really nervous? Man, I would say probably... probably North
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Carolina buck. North Carolina is a, right now, we need
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: every North Carolinian to get out and vote. I would
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: say I am the most apprehensive, the most nervous based
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: on these numbers, what's going on in North Carolina.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Maine looks solid. Florida looks solid.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: There are really good, the numbers in Iowa and Nebraska
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: are very similar. to what they have been in the past,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: suggesting that this whole idea of a blue wave in
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: red states is non-existent, at least based on what the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: data is showing. And again, nationwide, the numbers in 2022
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: compared to the numbers in 2026, not very different at all.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: We are not seeing the so-called blue wave in early votes.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: We need you guys to get out and get your
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: votes in.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Now, Buck, I wasn't expecting I yesterday I did a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: take on the Cheesecake Factory and the fact that Obama
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is out of touch over the way that he chose
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to insult Trump by going after the Cheesecake Factory. And
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: millions of people now have watched my Cheesecake Factory take,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: which I did not expect. Here's a question for you.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You were bragging about having finally gone to the Home Depot.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, no. You're not cornering me on this on live radio.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: The Cheesecake Factory in your life? Have you at any
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: point in time had a meal, had a piece of cheesecake?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been Buck Sexton to the Cheesecake Factory?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Objection. Badgering the witness, Your Honor. Irrelevant. Erroneous. I plead
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the fifth. Okay. I am. So I expected that you probably.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I have never been to the Cheesecake Factory. You have
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: never been to the Cheesecake Factory.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: To Maggiano's Little Italy, which I feel like is just
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: a cheesecake factory with a longer name.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's an interesting take. I am a chain restaurant expert.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I have eaten in– I'm not even– this is certainly
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: not a brag.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think people are like, oh, that's so healthy
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: of you, Clay.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I think I have eaten in every chain restaurant that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: has existed that is popular in America at some point
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in time. So since we're doing the call people out
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: here just for a minute if I can, okay, you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: just finished a nice big fancy house. I'm going to
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: tell you, I haven't seen a Mountain Dew in your
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: hand in a long time. Are you too good for
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the Dew now? Well, this is my wife because she,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: at least in this case, wants me to live longer.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: She said I had to stop drinking soda. So I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: have largely replaced all of my Coke products, all of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: my Pepsi products. I occasionally have a Mountain Dew. I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: now drink Crockett coffee. pretty much exclusively for my caffeine.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I was not a coffee guy. It's way healthier. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: drink coffee straight black. I don't put all the fancy
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: cream and fillings and everything.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Else in it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I only have two or three cups of coffee a day,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: which I'm told is a good number, and it's at CrockettCoffee.com.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So I am all in on coffee. I love coffee now.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I largely replaced sodas.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I should be upset at your
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: jujitsu here for completely... turning that around or proud that
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: you managed to just give it a shout out for
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: America's best coffee, which is Crockett coffee.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: You should go to coffee.com right now. And you should
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: sign up because it is America's only coffee that loves
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: American history as much as you do now.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: That is a good pivot, but let me just say this.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Are we doing Obama? Yeah.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I want to play. Do we have a short version?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I don't need like the full minute of Obama. Do
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: we just have the cheesecake factory line where he's making
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: fun of how Trump has remade the oval office?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Do we just have that? Thirty five seconds. OK, here
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: This is Obama at his rally over the weekend, taking
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a shot at Trump and his decorating style.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you've noticed, but he seems very
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: focused on home renovations.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: He should be on HGTV. Guys building a ballroom that's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: bigger than the White House. It's paved over the Rose Garden.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Put a helicopter pad on the South Lawn. And there's
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: gold everywhere. What's up with the gold?
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: Everything. More gold.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: He's got the White House.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Looking like Saddam Hussein opened a cheesecake factory.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Just gold.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: OK, so, Buck, I am a fan of humor.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And so I don't begrudge people making fun of the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: choices that different political parties have made. Here's where I
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: think Obama is particularly tone deaf here. And I think
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: this is actually a joke written for Obama. This is
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: not an off the cuff line. And the podcast bros,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the Obama Pod Save America podcast bros have all jumped
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: in my mentions after I made fun of Obama and said, actually,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and this is I'm going to look right into the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: camera here.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: You can watch us on YouTube.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Cheesecake Factory is a high-end chain restaurant. Most people, as
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a chain restaurant expert, most people go to Cheesecake Factory
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: for celebratory occasions, not a place that you go to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: all of the time if you are a quote-unquote normal
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: person in America today, right? And everybody out there listening understands.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You might go for a birthday. You might go for
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a graduation. You might go for a significant family event.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But when Obama is making fun of Trump by saying
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: he's got the Oval Office looking like a glitzed-out Cheesecake Factory,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: most people walk into Cheesecake Factory and actually think this
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: is a high-end restaurant. And so it doesn't work because
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you're attacking him for doing something that most normal Americans
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: consider to be high-end.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I think for the first time ever.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I may be in the position of, and I can
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: hear the boos already, somewhat defending Obama on this. Because
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: he didn't say he's making it look like a cheesecake factory.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: He said he's making it look like Saddam Hussein opened
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: up a cheesecake factory today. The modifier there, Clay, we
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: got to be fair. He's making a joke. You like jokes.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I like jokes. He's really not denigrating Cheesecake Factory.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: No, but I see.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I think if he had said he's got Saddam Hussein
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: looking like he's making, you know, like a glitzed out.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Jack in the Box, I think people would have been like, oh,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Jack in the Box is a low end, not trying
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to take a shot, because inevitably one of these guys
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: is going to be like, I own 748 Jack in
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the Boxes, and I love Clay and Buck.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: There goes our Jack in the Box sponsorship right there. Yeah,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: and we just lost them forever.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: If you're going to a lot of fast food restaurants,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you're typically going there because it's a lower cost option
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: than a place like the Cheesecake Factory. If he had said,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if they're still open, If he
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: had said he's making the Oval Office look like a
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Saddam Hussein bedecked Shoney's, I think people out there would
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: have been like, oh, okay, Captain D's, Long John Silver's.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: There's lots of places that I have eaten that I
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: could make a joke where people would say, oh, that's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: low end, and he's trying to make a low end
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: place look high end, which actually looks trashier, right?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: That's the joke he's trying to make. He whiffed. The
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: joke with I.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Think because he thinks cheesecake doesn't know what the average
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: American thinks of cheesecake.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Well, now I can't make fun of him for this
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: because I haven't been to a cheesecake factory. I believe,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: by the way, there's a cheesecake factory near me in
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Miami Beach, which is I have been told by people
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: in the restaurant game here obscenely profitable.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: People love this place. They make money hand over fist.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: This is a true story.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: The last time I was in Miami with Laura, we
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: ate at the Cheesecake Factory in Miami Beach. It was
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: open on that, what's it called? The promenade there where
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: you walk through.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: That's the one up there.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: The one.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: That's a well-known. That's what I'm talking about. That is
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: one of the most profitable per square foot restaurants, I think,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: in all of Miami. Warren and I ate at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Miami Beach Cheesecake Factory on the patio.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I was excited to eat there. Now, what did you get?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: What did you get, Chef Eric? I usually get because I. Well,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: so first of all, the menu at Cheesecake Factory, for
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: those of you like Bach, who have never been. is
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: about 764 pages. I mean, they bring you the menu,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and it's like you're looking at the Bible, all right?
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're like flipping through and everything else. I
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: always try to eat. They have, look, if you put
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the calories on a menu, I love so many different
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: types of food that I will try to eat something
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: that doesn't have a tremendous amount of calories just because
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to avoid being super fat, right? So I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: always get like the skewered medallions. I don't know what
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the official order of it is, but it's like the healthy,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: it's like 450 calories.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: It's really good.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: It's basically steak medallions or whatever they call it on
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a skewer with a bunch of vegetables. I then splurge
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and usually get, I mean, this is very specific, but
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I eat the Cheesecake Factory. The raspberry,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I think it's the raspberry lemonade, which they just bedeck
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: with sugar around the rim of the drink, which probably
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: cancels out the healthy meal that I'm eating, but it's
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: such a good drink. So that's my specific order. Not
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a cheesecake guy. If I were advising Trump, though, Buck,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: we know Besant went. I would go to the Cheesecake Factory.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: If I were Trump this week, because I think Obama
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: put his foot in his mouth a little bit here,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Trump at fast food restaurants is typically best Trump.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I think Trump rolling into.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: A cheesecake factory in Texas today, for instance, would be
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: great opportunity to say, hey, unlike Obama, I want to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: make an America that's so great that everybody can afford
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to eat in the cheesecake factory. It's a great place.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Not a not a cheap place at all to eat.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I want everybody to be able to go here with
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: their families for their birthdays, graduations, great American company.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: And I think it looks great in here. I think
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the decor is fantastic. I would do it if I
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: were Trump.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I think the I agree with you on the political
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: move that it would look good. And it's and by
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: the way, anyone in the Trump base going after something
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Obama said that MAGA will eat that up, eat it
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: up like. An Alfredo chicken from the Cheese Factory. I
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: can tell you, you know what you don't want to
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: know the calories for? Anything Alfredo. Just don't look, guys.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Just don't read the menu on that.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Do you ever look at calories on menus, or am
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I the only person that actually does that?
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: No, I'm over 40. I have to look at calories
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: on menus now.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I like so many different types of food that if
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you tell me one is a 1,500-calorie dish and another
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: is a 600-calorie dish, I'll just pick the 600-calorie dish.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: I actually think it's useful information. One of the sad
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: things you realize as you get older is that cream
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: sauce for pasta and anything with avocado or guacamole is
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: just going to be really calorie-dense.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: We wish it wasn't so, but it is so.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: So you've got to become a salsa person, and you've
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: got to become a.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Marinara sauce.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I was a cream sauce guy all growing up, but now, Clay,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I've entered my marinara phase. where I can only have
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: the squash, tomatoes, and veggies and things because Alfredo is
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: one of the most calorie-dense things you can eat. It's
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: like fettuccine Alfredo, which I'm sure does very well at
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: the Cheesecake Factory. The only thing more calorie-dense?
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Cheesecake.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: All of this is great, by the way. If you
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: want to gain weight, just start eating cheesecake every day.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I promise you, you'll get super fat.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I just got a text from the Trump team asking
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: me to share some information that I'm about to tweet out,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: which is the most football-specific request for a clarification that
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: probably has ever been given for a president.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: You're going to love this.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: So the White House wants everybody to know President Trump
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: is traveling to Texas today. He has a bunch of
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: football players with him for these rallies. He wants everyone
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to understand that Johnny Manziel, who is a big-time Texas
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: A & M star, is appearing in Corpus Christi. He
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: is not traveling to Lubbock, which is where Texas Tech
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: is located. Danny Amendola, who is a former Texas Tech player,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: will be with him in Lubbock. They want you to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: know they aren't taking... a Texas A & M Aggie
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: to Lubbock, Texas. That is like, Buck, I might as
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: well have just read that entire thing in Sanskrit.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: No idea.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: But there are a lot of Texans who just heard that,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and they're like, okay, that's important to clarify. So I'm
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: going to tweet that out, but that is from the
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Trump team that they wanted me to make clear.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Well done.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, and in the meantime, much more seriously than everything
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that we have been talking about, elections going on right
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: now in Israel. And what we're seeing in France over
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the past couple of weekends should serve as a wake-up
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: call to every American. Violence in the streets, synagogue ransacked
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: in Paris, families wondering whether their kids will be safe.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise everywhere in the world.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: And the fellowship is helping Jewish families in France move
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: to Israel, providing resettlement assistance, strengthening security at Jewish institutions.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: They've helped more than 10,000 French Jews make the move
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to Israel since 2015. The organization, International Fellowship of Christians
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and Jews, based in New Jersey, bringing together Christians and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Jews to make sure that people in the Holy Land
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: are safe and people around the world are as well.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: If you want to stand with Israel, you can go
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to give.org. IFCJ.org. That's the word give and the letters IFCJ.org.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: One more time. Give IFCJ.org.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Looking for normal in a world of crazy?
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Clay and Buck have your back.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Welcome back into Clay and Buck. Clay diving deep into
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Cheesecake Gates. We will get back into that as usual.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Cheesecake Factorygate. We will also get back into
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: that shortly. We've got Ennis. I believe that is what
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: we're told now. His name is pronounced as Ennis Cantor,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: also known as Ennis, if you're going to come at
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: it from that angle.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: He's going to be with us.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: And we've got Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas, who I
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: think is going to win, but the Democrats are making
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: a lot of noise about how.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: It's so tight, it's so close.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Clay, one thing to, even USA Today, one thing to
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: put on the radar... Everybody is saying right now, all
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: of the pollsters, all of the aggregates, etc., that every
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: close Senate race is too close to call, basically. They're
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: all a coin flip right now. All the ones that
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: we've been discussing, Texas, Ohio, Maine, Michigan, Iowa, I don't
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: think that's a coin flip. Alaska, all coin flip races.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: And again, all of the data out there, I just
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: ran through some of the states show you that there
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: is not a blue wave. So if you get out
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: an early vote, you get out and vote on Election Day.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: The numbers are likely to be very similar to 2022
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and 2024, which means it's going to come down to.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Less than 50,000 votes, I think, in many of these
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: battleground states. Less than 100K, like we just saw in
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the past couple of election cycles.
• 17:59

• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Buck, you didn't ask what my favorite chain restaurant was.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you, by the way, this is going to
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: be one of the ones where we get deluged and
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: talk back. Remember when I told you how much I
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: loved Buc-ee's and you didn't know Buc-ee's? And then I
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: still would say I would put every dollar that I
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: have into Buc-ee's if I ever heard that they were
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: raising money. I love that place. My taste is the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: middle of America taste. Whatever is popular, I tend to like.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: best chain restaurant in america in my opinion for the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: dollar value not fast food i'm a chick-fil-a guy when
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: it's fast food chick-fil-a is the best fast food restaurant
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: unless another fast food restaurant wants to spend money with
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: us in which case i've long thought that one was
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the best but chick-fil-a for right now because none of
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: them spend money with us texas roadhouse but Texas Roadhouse
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: is the best dollar value of any sit-down chain restaurant.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you've never been to a Texas Roadhouse. I'm
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: going to take you. Ease up on this.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you've never been to stuff. Have you been
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to the Olive Garden? You've been to the Olive Garden.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: You've never been to an Olive Garden?
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: No. No.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I've never been to an Olive Garden. Longhorn Steakhouse? Outback Steakhouse? Yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I've been to Outback. Yeah, yeah. Okay.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Bloomin' Onion, maybe the best dish at a chain restaurant.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Texas Roadhouse, best dollar value chain meal in America. I'm
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: going to take you to a Texas Roadhouse. It is
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: unbelievable how good it is. And for what you pay.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: It like, look, there are super high end steakhouses, you know,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the Ruth's Chris, the Morton's of the world, the bourbon steaks.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I've been to a lot of these chain steakhouses over
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: the years. I travel all over the place.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: But four dollar value, Texas Roadhouse, best value of any
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: chain restaurant, in my opinion.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: And we're going to be deluged.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: You're going to be you're you're going to be it's
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: like you're reading Sanskrit with all the talkbacks and all
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: of the all of the interaction.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Have you been to an Applebee's Chili's?
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: No.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: All right. You win. All right. Uncle, I haven't been
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: to any chain restaurants. OK, I give up. I just
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: love this.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: All right, so we're going to have some fun with this.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: You can take me on if you disagree about Texas Roadhouse,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: but I'm right and you're going to be wrong. A
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: bunch of people want to weigh in. Terry in North Carolina.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I was saying, of the states that break down Democrat
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: or Republican, I am very optimistic about a bunch of states.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Florida just continues to dominate. Go vote, Florida. But North
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Carolina is the one... where if you are listening to
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: us right now and you are a North Carolina Republican,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you need to be flooding the polls. You need to
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: be getting your vote in early. Terry in North Carolina,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: that's the one where Democrats are doing the best of
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: all of the sort of battleground states. North Carolina is
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the one where Democrats are doing the best in the
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: early vote.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Terry, what you got for us?
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Well, Roy Cooper has the name recognition. He was a
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: terrible governor. But he's got the name recognition. And the
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Republicans in North Carolina have not done a good job
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: at all on ads for Watley or getting out, you know,
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: information on him. Cooper's campaign has done a much better
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: job at putting out really negative ads about him, et cetera.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: And so... I can see why his numbers are up.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: He's got the name recognition and he's a good old boy. And,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: you know, I've lived here 30 years and I've definitely
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: seen it getting more blue, more purple. And everybody wants
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: to come here, but then they want to bring their
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: politics here, too. So I think that's part of the problem.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're 100 percent right. And this is
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: where your average North Carolinian is nodding along because, Buck,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you've talked about this. Some states are getting flooded with
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: left wingers who are bringing left wing politics. North Carolina
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: and Georgia, I think, are two examples of that.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Well, let me play that. Have you ever been to Asheville,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: North Carolina, sir? Oh, yes. I remember I flew in
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: after the on a helicopter. I landed.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: But even as a kid going to Pigeon Forge, going
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to Gatlinburg, going into the Smoky Mountains was a trip
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: that your average Tennessee kid made.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, I've been to Asheville. I did not.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: I did not think that they could transport like Northampton,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Massachusetts or Berkeley, California into the middle of North Carolina
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: like that. But they can, apparently, because the actual downtown
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: of Asheville is communist madness.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Communist madness.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: So the fact that there's a Democrat surge in that
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: state is really not that surprising, I think, when you
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: line it up along with some of these these trends.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Some people, they want, and this actually lines up with
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: left-wing thinking, they want access to a more affordable housing
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: market and lower taxes while they still want everybody else
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: to be paying. They still want to be, oh, we
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: have to pay for schools and infrastructure, but I'm going
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: to leave California for Nevada and sort of see what happens.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would also say you see the flow coming
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: down the East Coast, right? People are able to get
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: into North Carolina. They see how nice it is. We've
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: talked about how much of the South there is a
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: huge difference between the people that are actually born and
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: raised there. I'm a born and raised Nashvilleian, which is
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: not very common now. Nashville and the state of Tennessee, Texas,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and Florida are I think have been largely protected so
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: far because of the lack of income tax.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: So if you are a fiscal.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Conservative and you don't want to pay huge tax rates,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: then you bail and you end up in places like Tennessee,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Texas and Florida, Georgia and North Carolina and South Carolina
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: still have state income taxes. And so I don't think
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: they've recruited the same level of conservative voter as as
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: other places have. And as a result, a lot of
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: these transplants are trying to change the culture of the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: state that they have moved into. And I think this
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: is going to turn into a big story going forward.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: And Buck, I would just say this, Roy Cooper is
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: going to, if he wins next week, he is going
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: to surge dramatically. to the top of the list for
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: potential vice presidential candidates.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: It makes a lot of sense. I do not disagree.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I really think the more I've.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Been noodling this one over, I really think that it
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: is extremely hard to see how Democrats nominate a woman
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: for the top of the ticket again. I just think
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: that they've tried this twice, and they've gotten crushed both
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: times pretty decisively.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: They ran, I understand, COVID, mail-in ballots, blah, blah, all
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: that stuff, fine.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: But they ran old, standard, white guy, Democrat guy, and
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: they managed to pull it off. So I think that
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: there will be a little bit of a gender thing
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: for them. But back to the way this is all looking, Clay,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: you're worried about North Carolina.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I don't. I'm just hoping Ohio, all the stuff.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: People are saying and you're seeing is incorrect because that
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: is one that we– there's no excuse.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: North Carolina is tough. You're talking about a few points.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: You're talking about pretty close in the– I think Republicans
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: have a– I'd have to check. I think they have
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: a registration advantage overall, but it's very close either way. Ohio,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Trump won by 11 points. Ohio should be a in-the-bag, we're-good–
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: And they can focus that money and resources on other
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: states that are close. Instead, Ohio is an absolute dogfight
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: And let me say this, too. We don't have the
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: breakdown in Ohio like we do in other states. The
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: states that I'm running through and telling you the numbers
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: that are out there, they show Democrats and Republicans. So,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: by the way, somebody could have been a registered Democrat
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: and voted Republican. Somebody could be a registered Republican and
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: vote Democrat. It doesn't happen that often. But those states
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: break it down by party registration. We also don't know
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: how the independent voters, the non-registered, are breaking. But the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: history is most independents actually lean pretty significantly to one
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: side or the other. And so I think this is a,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: to me, I have shifted from the polls, which I
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: don't trust, to let's actually look at the actual voters
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: showing up. Remember, in 2022, Republicans won the nationwide popular vote.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: That usually whoever wins the House of Representatives wins the
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: nationwide popular vote, even though you have 435 distinct congressional
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: races going on. If we're roughly even on the early
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: vote with 2022, which we are at this date in time,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: that's actually a tremendous sign that we are not seeing
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: a blue wave forming yet, because usually Democrats get out
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: an early vote and mail vote at higher rates than Republicans.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: And so we're seeing a very similar data point to
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: to this overall.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Not really a lot of people talking about the House
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: side of things because it's so hard in the off-year election.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: But the Senate is very much– keeping the Senate is
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: absolutely in play. I still believe we will keep the Senate.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: So I am not a doomer in the least. I'm optimistic.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: And the ones that I'm feeling the best about right
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: now that are close– you gave us the ones you're–
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: the one you're most worried about. The ones that I
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: am the most optimistic about that are contested would be Texas, Maine–
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Trying to think what else. I'm feeling better about Michigan
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: than I have in a while, to be honest with you.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: I thought Michigan was really looking bleak a few weeks ago,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: and now I think Mike Rogers could.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Pull this off.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: But I don't have a, like, I'm not about to
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: throw some money on it, you know. feel like you
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: could still go against this. Here's where I'm very confident. Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: they tried to turn those three states into, oh, they're battlegrounds.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: The early voting is not reflecting that you're seeing some
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: sort of blue wave there. Texas, Alaska, Ohio would be
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: the three that I would point to and say, these
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: are the must-win Texas states. ohio alaska maine i feel
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: good about the numbers in maine uh are not very
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: different than they were in 2022 uh north carolina very
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: nervous about georgia we've just tripped all trying to avoid
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: saying uh georgia is just georgia is a real failure
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: when it comes to the senate side races um We
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: have just, the state of Georgia has just tripped all
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: over itself for about six years in a row. We
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: love Trump, a beautiful, amazing president who's done great things,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: one of the greatest of all time. Some of the
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Georgia stuff has not been optimized, I would say. We've lost,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: because of some of the people that have been pushed
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: into that role, pushed really from D.C., if you will,
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: not really pushed by the people of Georgia so much.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: we've lost three winnable Senate seats in Georgia, or rather
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: should have won Senate seats in Georgia. So that's kind
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: of on us a little bit, not you and me,
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: but on the GOP, on MAGA. We had some very,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: just some candidates that shouldn't have been there. I'm hoping
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: we don't have to have that conversation about Ohio, but
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: I'm certainly concerned about that right now. But people are
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: showing up. That's clear from the data. And there's a
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: real fight underway, and there's enthusiasm on both sides. And
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: we're going to continue to watch it very closely, Clay.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: I'm enthusiastic.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: You need to be safe in your home. We all
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: have our patterns, right? At night, we lock the doors,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: turn out the lights. If you have kids, you check
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: on them just one more time. But what happens if
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: you hear something downstairs? Maybe it's nothing. Maybe it's not.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: When the people you love are counting on you, the
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: last thing you want is uncertainty. That's why you want
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Sabre products at home. Their newest self-defense weapon is called
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: the Ready Fire Home Defense Launcher. It's shaped like a
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: small rifle. with a visible pressure indicator pin that lets
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: you quickly confirm the launcher is pressurized and ready for use.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: No wondering, no second guessing, just added confidence in a
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: high-stress moment when your only concern is protecting your family.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: ReadyFire is a less lethal home defense solution that helps
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: protect families themselves, help families rather protect themselves from unexpected
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: threats up to 175 feet away. You hope that night
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: never comes, but if it does, you need to be prepared.

• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Here today, here tomorrow. Every day for your listening pleasure.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Welcome back into Clay and Buck. We'll be talking to
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Ennis Cantor-Freedom in just a little bit here about, well,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: you know, the whole WNBA situation and how he identifies
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: as a woman and he should be allowed to play.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: They're not letting him. They're being very mean. They're not
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: letting him live his truth, Clay. Amen.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Which is very, very mean. But we'll get to that.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: In the meantime, it's a free-fire zone now.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Light them up.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Linda is taking shots at our man Clay, so she
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: knows she's getting to the front of the line with
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: that one.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Linda.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Hey, Clay.
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: So Texas Roadhouse, all the things that you mentioned are
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: super salty. So after you eat there, it might be
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: good going downtown. But as soon as you get done,
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: your stomach hurts, and all you want to do is
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: drink the ocean because it's so salty. My favorite chain
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: that closed down right after COVID was called Sweet Tomatoes.
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: Have you ever gone to a Sweet Tomatoes?
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I have never been to a Sweet Tomatoes.
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: Have you heard of a Sweet Tomatoes?
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard of Sweet Tomatoes. I don't think we
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: have it in the Nashville area.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: My favorite chain that closed recently was O'Charlie's here. It
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: was a big favorite of mine. But what is great
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: about Sweet Tomatoes?
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: Well, it's a buffet style, but it's all like salads.
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: They have soup and pizza. And I believe they opened
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: up one down in Fort Myers, Florida. But I'm hoping
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: that they bring them back.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I was a big fan of the Ryan's family restaurant
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: back in the day. Do you remember Ryan's? And I also,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: back in the day, the Ponderosa restaurant. was the Ponderosa Steakhouse.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Some of the sizzler people are out there still. I
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: think in all these places. I would put my chain
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: restaurant knowledge up against almost anyone's in America.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Linda. By the way, she was very polite.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: It said on the thing that she was going to
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: tell you the Texas Roadhouse is terrible. So she withheld
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: her fire.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: There a little bit. Texas Roadhouse is amazing. She withheld
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: her fire. Light them up.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Linda didn't really light them up. She kind of painted
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: the target, but then she backed off a little bit.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Steve in New York. What have you got for us, Steve?
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: Hey, guys. Love the show there. Buck, this is possibly
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: for you in particular because you sound like a pasta
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: lover like I am, and I typically have it like
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: three times a week maybe. But if you cook pasta
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: first and cool it off in the fridge and reheat it,
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: it changes a lot of its structure to a starch,
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: which affects your blood sugar a lot less and also
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: has less of a calorie factor. The only thing you've
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: got to do is leave it al dente when you
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: put it in the refrigerator so that it doesn't turn
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: into a mush.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Steve, thank you for calling in.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: I just want to say that actually when I was
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: talking about Alfredo, the problem with the Alfredo is the
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: massive amount of butter and cream that you're eating.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: It's not actually the pasta. It's the sauce.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: And I think Alfredo was actually invented in America.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: It's not even Italian.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I will say this. Italian pasta is healthier. You go
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: to Italy and you eat their pasta there. You will think, oh,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: my goodness, I'm going to put on so much weight.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: And then you're going to come back to the United
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: States and you're going to be blown away by how
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: much pasta you can eat.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: It's healthier. They make it healthier over there.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Well, actually, according to Grok, it was invented in Rome
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: in 1908 by restaurateur Alfredo di Lelio.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: Okay. Okay.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: I had heard that it's not it's not considered like
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: a classic Italian dish, but it is served a lot
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: in the Cheesecake Factory. Do we have Ennis up next, Clay?
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Is that what we do?
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Are you feeling short into our Nashville area studio? He
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: will be the tallest guest that has ever appeared on
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: the program, eclipsing Jesse Kelly from the leaderboard here.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: He will be up with us next. The bravest woman
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: I know.
