Hour 1 of today’s Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off with a packed lineup of major political and cultural stories as we head into Thanksgiving week. Clay returns from Italy and shares behind-the-scenes details of his meeting with the Pope, including a surprising plan for the Holy Father to throw out the first pitch at a future Chicago White Sox game.

The hour dives deep into the headline-grabbing Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump and New York City’s incoming mayor, Zohran Mamdani. Clay and Buck analyze Trump’s strategic, upbeat tone during the meeting, highlighting his congratulatory remarks and willingness to work together for a “safe and strong New York.” They discuss why Trump avoided confrontation, the political optics, and what this means for crime policy in America’s largest city. Buck breaks down the role of NYPD leadership under Jessica Tisch and contrasts Eric Adams’ crime reduction record with concerns about Momani’s progressive agenda.

Listeners also get an urgent update on a high-stakes congressional race in Tennessee’s 7th District, which 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.

The hour closes with breaking legal news: a judge dismisses DOJ cases against James Comey and Letitia James on procedural grounds, sparking debate over judicial bias and the future of these indictments.
