“She made them while sitting next to Troy Jackson, who is in a dead even fight in Maine, a state that is a five or six point state in favor typically of Democrat candidates. I think this is going to blow up on her in a bad way through the Troy Jackson campaign because he's on stage sitting next to her while she's saying all this. Now, it may be beneficial to AOC politically to be making these arguments, but I don't think these arguments are beneficial to be made in states where it is right now completely a 50-50 environment.” — Clay Travis on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show “Byron Donalds is going to be the next governor of the state of Florida. I know and like Byron Donalds, I'm excited for him to be the next governor.” — Clay Travis on Byron Donalds, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show “If Roy Cooper wins this open Senate seat, Roy Cooper might be the Biden of 28. Everybody's talking about Andy Beshear, and, oh, he's the governor of Kentucky, and he's Bill Clinton.” — Clay Travis on Roy Cooper, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

Well, here's the other. Maybe not.

Speaker 3

Yeah. Yeah.

…the areas that I think women would be the most vulnerable to rape is when men are allowed into women's private spaces while arguing that they're every bit as much of women as the actual women. The other part here, Buck, is, and I think this is significant, she didn't make these comments campaigning in California or even campaigning in New York or Illinois, someplace that is a deep blue location. She made them while sitting next to Troy Jackson, who is in a dead even fight in Maine, a state that is a five or six point state in favor typically of Democrat candidates. I think this is going to blow up on her in a bad way through the Troy Jackson campaign because he's on stage sitting next to her while she's saying all this. Now, it may be beneficial to AOC politically to be making these arguments, but I don't think these arguments are beneficial to be made in states where it is right now completely a 50-50 environment. And by the way, Buck Sexton of the early vote going on, you will be happy to know that on day five in Florida, Republicans are continuing to extend their lead in the early vote. That is, every single day since day one, there has been a growth in overall Republican turnout. And I would just encourage all of you out there that are getting discouraged, Democrats, I was tweeting about this, and I…

Buck Sexton

All right, credit to the dedicated men and women working with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They're helping vulnerable Jewish residents in France, Ukraine, and Israel. Since day one, some 45 years ago, the IFCJ's primary concern is reaching members of the Jewish faith in…

…so-called propaganda media. They basically only have owners at MSNBC that are committed to far left-wing politics and at the New York Times. Everywhere else is returning to some form of centrism. at least some form of unbiased media coverage. And that I think is supremely important as well. Okay.

Speaker 2

I want to close with this.

Clay Travis

I watch almost nothing other than football during the fall on television. I watch college football and the NFL, watch a ton of it. Last night, I ended up watching with my wife the Mike Tyson documentary that is up on Netflix. I don't even know how many days this Mike Tyson documentary has been up.

Speaker 2

It's fantastic.

Clay Travis

Highly recommend all of you watch this Mike Tyson documentary. I thought it was and is incredibly well done. if you lived through the Tyson era when he was the baddest man on the planet in the 80s and the 90s, as I did, if you had Mike Tyson punch out back in the day, if you remember on those rare…

Am I correct?

…North Carolina, Roy Cooper is a likely Democrat win in North Carolina. Let me and Michael Watley, we want you to go visit for Michael. Vote from Michael Watley. To be fair, North Carolina has typically not polled well for Republicans. and then Republicans end up winning in North Carolina a lot.

Speaker 1

Let me tell you this, Buck.

Clay Travis

If Roy Cooper wins this open Senate seat, Roy Cooper might be the Biden of 28. Everybody's talking about Andy Beshear, and, oh, he's the governor of Kentucky, and he's Bill Clinton.

Buck Sexton

Roy Cooper is way more formidable, Clay, from a far more, I'm not trying to throw any shade at Kentucky, but more important electoral state. Roy Cooper could be the default, the Biden-esque candidate the next time around.

Speaker 1

That's real.

Clay Travis

I'm not hearing anybody talk about that, but if Roy Cooper wins this battleground Senate seat and he can argue, hey, if I run for president, certainly he's a vice presidential candidate, but if he can argue, I'm going to run for president and North Carolinians will vote for me, then that is a hell…
