Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Podcast. Welcome in everybody Friday edition of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show kicks off right now. Much to discuss, my friends. Latest updates on the economy looking good and trade working out more like Trump said it would than the experts. Remember the experts, quote, unquote, I don't know, what was it about a month ago? The sky is falling. Trump has ruined everything. No, not true. The sky is not falling. And in fact, things are looking great. So probably the greatest. We'll talk about more of that here coming up shortly. Some other things to put on your radar. Supreme Court. You know what? I'm going to dive into this, too. Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration's request to revoke humanitarian parole for over 530,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. And let me say, I think there was a hint about where this was supposed to go and the fact that it's not forever, it's parole, it's not backdoor to status, it's, hey, cuz, we're a nice country. We're gonna let you chill here for a bit because things back home are rough. But eventually you're supposed to go back home, you know, so that's a big, A big part of this. And I think we'll, we'll discuss the, the university fight, by the way, is very much taking, you know, day in and day out. New headlines here, Trump fighting with the schools. And the State Department is now going to be reviewing social media of students at Harvard for anti Semitism. So that's gonna, that's gonna get interesting. And look, some of these things, I want to discuss a strategy that I call, I call skirmishing. And so I'll get back to this in a little bit. Some of these things, I think Trump will prevail at the court. And some of them are also a little more. We'll see. And the ones that are a little more, we'll see, maybe he wins, maybe he doesn't, but it's worth a shot. It's worth a shot. You know, the Democrats, Democrats will do things, and I mean, the president, when it's a Democrat Congress, when Democrats have control, they will do things that they have themselves explicitly admitted as unconstitutional. They'll just do it. All right? Because if it, if it's pursuing their agenda, if it's more, you know, statist lunacy, they're like, let's go for it. You know, how many, how many divisions do you have? Is the attitude right? Or if you're a fan of ancient Rome, what was it Pompey saying, don't quote laws to men with swords. That's kind of the Democrats attitude when they're in charge, like we've got the sword. So guess what? We'll talk about the skirmishing strategy from the Trump side of things later on. We got the Harvard stuff. We've also got Dean Cain joining third hour. You know him from being Superman. And many, I certainly know many of the ladies out there, know many of the ladies out there, know who this guy is from back in the day when he was Superman. We'll, we'll talk about this. Cash Patel, also on the FBI stuff. Look, we have so much show that you just, you're gonna have to strap in cause we got a lot of ground to cover. I'm gonna dive into this economy thing. One second. Just wanna put out a, a shout out. I did a little deep dive on North Korean infiltration of your laptop, meaning any American's laptop and what they can do. Wall Street Journal had a fascinating piece. I go into a deep dive and also some of the background and context on how North Korea operates globally. This one I'm not going to do on the air today. You got to subscribe to the Clay and Buck podcast network where you have all these great podcast hosts. You also have the Buck brief, which is where I put some deep dives now or guests that we have that aren't on the radio show because we have more, you know, we have 20, 30 minutes with them on the podcast side. So go subscribe to Clay and Buck Podcast network. We are growing every month because of you. We have great hosts on there. Carol Markowitz, Tudor Dixon. I always want to say Sean Parnell. He's busy, like being a big, big deal at the Pentagon now. Our friend Dave Rutherford, former Navy seal. So go and check that out. You will love that podcast network. And look for that North Korea episode to drop later today. All right, let's do the economy. Just I want to set the table with this one. And then we'll get into the immigration situation. We'll take a lot of your calls, too. And talk back is working again. I love talkbacks. I love calls, too. I love calls too. But talk backs a lot of fun. So you can. And if you send a talkback that's funny and pokes fun at Clay, we can play it on the air and I can send it to him while he's on vacation with his family. As you know, he's on vacation for the next week. So if you say something funny about flute playing or something like that, we can play it on the air and I can just text it to him be like, hey, big guy, they're still thinking about you. They miss you. Here we go. CNBC's Rick Santelli on the. This is really interesting on trade deficit numbers. This is cut one. Let's hear what Santelli has to say.
- [07:43]
Rick Santelli
This is the trade balance which is a deficit expecting minus 143 billion. Wow. It comes in much, much smaller. Minus 87 billion. And now this follows a 163 that gets converted to 162 billion with a minus sign. The worst since record keeping 1989. Then we cut it in half to 87.6. 87.6 would be the lightest. Now you have to really go back. 87.6 would be the lightest since, wow, September of 23. And this really does underscore how, how the movement of goods and services has really changed due to a variety of tariff related issues.
- [08:26]
Buck Sexton
This is a rebalancing of our trade deficit and it is exactly what Donald Trump has been pushing for all along. And what we've been told is going to lead to catastrophe. Even trying to change it up a little bit. Why is that? Notice how there's a built in assumption. And I'm not just talking about the Trump haters, because with the Trump haters it is, you know, Donald Trump says, hey, what a beautiful day. It's 75 with a nice breeze. And they're like, it's a horrible day. People will die because of the day. You know, they just doesn't matter. They hate him so much. Their identity. Part of the problem of the opposition to Trump is that anti Trumpism is now and has been for a long time an identity that people have. You know, the same way that being concerned about climate change is an identity, it's. Oh, I'm a person who's concerned about climate. Do you know anything about it?
- [09:22]
Dean Cain
No.
- [09:22]
Buck Sexton
Have you thought about it? Really? No. But it's an identity. Being anti Trump is an identity and it's very hard to get people to separate from that because they like all the things that they think it tells others. Right. They like the things that it says about them in the eyes of their peer group, group. So I'm not just talking though about those people because that's, you know, anti. It's Trump Derangement Syndrome. I mean they really. This should be added. I think we'd be on the DSM 6 now, right? The Diagnostic Manual for Psychiatric Disorders. I think we'd be on six. I don't know. Some of you listening are psychiatrists, maybe a couple of you most psychiatrists are incredible. It's the most left wing medical profession. Isn't that interesting number by far psychiatry. Most left wing. You get some great right wing psychiatrists, I'm sure out there, but it's like a 90. It's like being a Republican in Washington D.C. but I think that the Trump derangement syndrome should be added to it because it is impossible to reason with people about anything Trump related. Once they have fallen victim to it, maybe we should feel sorry for them because there's like Trump, it's so horrible. Trump is going to do all the horrible things. Really? What are the horrible things that are happening right now? What is the thing that is happening in this country that we're all supposed to be so horrified about? Immigration laws are being enforced. If they're so horrible, why are they laws? And why have they been supported in a bipartisan fashion for decades and decades? Why didn't the Obama regime get rid of these laws? Because they knew it would be deeply unpopular. So they have to pretend they agree with the law while not enforcing it. That's a whole different thing. But what the economy. Economy's looking great. You know, I feel like Warren Buffett right now because I bought into the dip and I believed, I believed in Elon, I believed in Trump, I believed in the economy when everyone was, oh, it's so terrible. So you sit here though, and you look specifically on tariffs. And this is an area where even people who are more pro Trump on most things but have their, let's say, their misgivings about some things have been saying this is where it's all going to fall apart. This is where he's going to screw up the whole administration. And now it's. Hold on a second. Economy's doing well and the trade deficit is shrinking. The thinking around this has somehow become so zero sum, meaning it's one, it is just the one thing and then that's it. There's no nuance, there's no somehow. We are to believe that the trade deficit that we have is either perfect or does not matter at all. And those things cannot be true. That's not possible. Or it's the same way that when you try to cut any government spending, even though government spending increases year after year. I know, big, beautiful bill. We'll talk more about that as it continues to make its way through the Senate side. But we're led to believe by the forever regime, by the narrative that the amount of government spending that is occurring right now is the perfect amount, unless it's More. If it's. If there's more spending, then that's the perfect amount. But if you try to cut that spending even a little bit, it is dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria cannot have it. Right. So you're familiar with this thinking that is. Is very. A very big part of the narrative, the propaganda that is out there. And of course, you know, logically it's untrue with our trade deficit issue. It somehow we are led to believe that all these other countries that have tariffs against us, which is all of the countries, are doing something that does not benefit them. It is clearly of no benefit to them, and that the way things have shaken out so far is the perfect way for things to be when it comes to trade. Don't touch it. It's like a Swiss watch. It's working exactly as it is supposed to. But that makes no sense. Why is it. Why is it perfect? And why are these other people doing tariffs if it's so dumb and so bad? And why is it such a terrible idea that we would at least match them to some degree on the tariffs that they already have in place so that we can get to more of an equilibrium where we don't just buy stuff, we make stuff. Eventually, if you only buy stuff, you know what happens? You have to just print and print and print and print more money to buy the things because your productivity isn't based in real market action of productivity. You're just, you know, you're printing, you're running there. You know, the money machine goes, brr. You're. That's not a good place for you to be. It's how you get to $37 trillion in debt, I might add, at some level, handling these things in that way, oh, we're the reserve currency. We'll just spend more money. Oh, somebody else will make all of our stuff. Okay, but they have to buy our debt, and they have to keep wanting to buy our debt. And then the tendency is going to be on our side for us to print more money to pay down that debt without the underlying productivity of the making stuff and doing stuff and manufacturing base that we need to sustain the quality of life that our dollars have gotten us used to. So Trump comes along and he sees this, and I mean, here's There's. I know, you know, Warren Buffett now is like, trade deficits are terrible. There's a fascinating video. I mean, I could probably find it from years, maybe 20 years ago, so not that long ago, but like 20 years ago, where he talks about, okay, well, if trade deficits mean nothing, what happens if we have one island that makes all the stuff that lives next to one island that buys all the stuff? And one island just makes stuff. One island just buys stuff. Eventually, the makestuf island owns the Buy Stuff island because the only way that they can afford to keep being the Buy Stuff island is essentially a giant series of IOUs to the Makestuff Island. Now, I know this is, oh, it's all so simple. And it's more complicated than that. We have a bunch. We could put a bunch of econ nerds or trade. The trade people actually are much better. The people who really follow trade are much closer to Trump on this than a lot of the people who are. I'm an economist from such and such, and let me tell you what's going on. Trump understands these basic market forces in the way that somebody who has had to live his life with the ups and downs of them can, and somebody who just wants to be considered smart by the faculty lounge and has never really done this stuff can't. And you're already seeing this start to come to fruition. And I want to also talk about the income number. Something that gets left out of this discussion so often is what, what? We get money from the tariffs. Right. People say, oh, tariffs are a tax. Yeah. But also we get money from them. And the United States was funded almost exclusively by tariffs until the 21st century with the passage of a constitutional amendment for an income tax, which is a whole other conversation that's a constitutional amendment. Might want to take another look at, at some point. Well, we've got. We've got plans. We've got plans. So we'll come back here and talk about the income numbers and then also dive into the end of parole, which is supposed to be temporary, the end of temporary protected status for some foreigners here. And the media hates this, of course, and wants you to be upset about it. But why is it temporary if it's not going to be temporary, meaning not forever? We'll discuss that coming up here. But I was just talking about how we're $36 trillion in debt and Trump is giving us the opportunity to build a great economy or build an even greater economy than we currently have. And he's making a lot of great moves. But I want to think about where your finances are and how you protect your wealth over the next 10 years, the next 20 years. And I was just talking to you about the money machines going and all that. That's going to continue to happen. I hope we can stop this. I don't think we're going to be able to stop this anytime soon. So how do you stop the dollars in your bank account, the money that you're working to save from just being eroded by government policy over time? Gold. Gold. My friends, just look at the price of gold. It has seen an appreciation over the past year of 40% and that's because central banks are continue to buy up large quantities of gold to stabilize their own currencies. Look, this isn't about putting, you know, all, all of the nation's cash into gold. That wouldn't make any sense. No, it's about balancing, taking action now for the long term, hedging against inflation and being prepared. That is my basic thesis about gold. That's why I have been a gold buyer personally since before I even started doing media. I bought my first gold coin. Oh gosh, 2007 or 8 I think now. You know, I remember it was expensive to me at the time and I've just been just. I buy gold, I hold gold. I buy gold, I hold gold. Birch Gold is who I get my gold from.

Welcome back into Clay and Buck. You know, we've got some news out of the FBI that I wanted to handle with former Special agent Nicole Parker, who will be with us in the next hour of the program. Like I said, Dean Cain, formerly Superman or the superhero. Formerly Superman. Great, dude. He'll be with us. Third hour, I think. Does he have a book or does he just want to hang out? It's cool. Superman can fly in anytime. I mean, I'm. What? For whatever reason, he's always welcome. But he's going to be with us. He wants to talk about something I said. Dean, you just, you know, I don't want to make you mad. You got those laser eyes or whatever. And that's. I don't want to get sawed in half. So we'll get into that. Well, something funny, too. Yesterday I was in a grocery store here in Miami beach and the guy talking to me, who's actually the guy who was at the meat Counter. And through our conversation, kind of realized it was Buck Sexton. And he didn't really at first. He's like, wait, really? And then some other guy appeared behind. He was listening in. He goes, oh, no, this is Buck Sexton, actually. And I was like, yeah, I guess. I guess I am. So there we go. Fun down here in Miami, our sponsor, Pure Talk, is focused on recognizing and thanking our military veterans. Right now, a thousand vets will receive a new American flag from Allegiance Flag, courtesy of Pure Talk.

Man, I'm eating this thing. I love these things called a David Bar. I'm just a huge fan. I've been somebody. I'm gluten free because I've got celiac disease. And I've always been looking for kind of the perfect bar that tastes so good and also has the perfect macros. This thing has 28 grams of protein, 150 calories. I'm eating the red velvet flavor. I eat one of these things sometimes two every day. Absolutely love these things. And yeah, I don't know if you've ever tried them. They're, you know, people might say, oh, they're a little pricier than the granola bar I'm used to. It's better. That's. Yeah, I'm just telling you it's better. I absolutely love these things. And you know, not a sponsor reader or anything, but I was just chewing on one. So I wanted you to know why I came in off the break there for a second. This David Bar, just called the David Bar. Absolutely love these things. So here we go. Let's Dive into the immigration situation. Immigration situation at the. Well, interior enforcement's a big thing. And we have the Supreme Court weighing in today, saying that it is, in fact, okay for the Trump administration to revoke humanitarian parole for people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. And this is. It's amazing. The Supreme Court had to weigh in. I want. I want to start from this perspective. This is quite straightforward. This is something that is really good for anybody who believes in the rule of law, which is we say, hey, you can stay here, but at some point, you got to go home. And that a court said at any. At any level, a lower court blocked the administration on this. So. So let's just understand what's really going on here. If you want to see where the. How. How intense the lawfare really is, which is what this. And I guess it's. Maybe he's a judge. Judge fair doesn't sound as cool, but it's judges now, right? It's not just people bringing lawsuits, which is generally. Or bringing charges, which is generally what you think of as lawfare, you know, warfare by law. This is judicial stuff. So, yeah, also lawfare, but it's a. It's a particular flavor of it, you know, because it's really the judges. Because I don't think prosecutors. I don't think you're gonna have a rogue U.S. attorney right now. Be like, I'm gonna lock up the president. I mean, he could try. Good luck with that one, buddy. I don't think Trump is gonna. Gonna brook that nonsense for very long. But the judges, obviously, I have lifetime tenure. Starting to notice a trend. People that have lifetime job security, whether it's a professor or a judge, causes problems. Causes problems. You know, it's good to have to live in the market reality a little bit and. And have to, you know, earn your keep. So this is what's going on here. A judge came in and said that the administration, which has the discretion to offer temporary. Temporary safe haven. The administration was overruled. Overruled by a lower court judge who said, you're not allowed to end this. So this is. Again, I really. I like the simple analogies, and I like to boil things down as much as possible because I think it gives clarity. And I'm just going to tell you, that's what Trump does with these things. He, Trump is the guy who's in the meeting who says, what is really going on here? And how do we make this annoying problem go away? How do we fix it now? Doesn't like to say, oh, well, like to Piggyback off my, off my associate and like, let's have another meeting tomorrow about the meeting. And like, oh, this is a challenging problem. So maybe we could have a study committee, you know, committee on the. No, he says, you know, what is going on here? And let's get this thing solved. And to do that, I think you have to break things down to their, their essence. And this is a bit like if you, if there was a storm, you know, if there was a hurricane, if there was like a, you know, if there were, you know, hurricane in your area. I'm in Miami. So that's something that, you know, is something we think about. There's a hurricane in your area and there's somebody out in the street and they're getting blown around. And you say, hey, hey, you know what? Come, come off the street. Come off the street. I got you. I got you. You know, you got caught in this here, you know, and I'll, I'll give you, you know, some, some food, some water, some safe harbor. And person, let's say the person stays for a few hours and then, and then the storm passes and you go, okay, you're safe. There you go, you know, you know, good luck to you. Go about your way. And the guy goes, no, I don't think so. I don't, I don't like this temporary thing. I think I'm going to stay. You have a guest bedroom. I think I'm just going to make myself cozy here forever. That is what we're talking about here. On an immigration level, the United States says, hey, Venezuela's a mess. We get it. Nicaragua got big problems. We get it. We're going to let you stay here for a while, but you are going to go home at some point. This is not a forever thing. This is not a forever thing. And they're also particularly upset about this right now because we took in 50, 50 white people from South Africa. Oh, my gosh. So ABC, I'm reading the ABC News write up of this. Do you want to know who. Who remember what I said yesterday about how Sotomayor, as much as she is dumb, she knows the only thing she's supposed to know. And she, she is, she's not a smart woman as much as she is supposed to know, or I should say, she's not a smart lawyer. Okay, maybe she's like, you know, smarter than the average person, but she is not a talented or smart lawyer. And not a note, certainly not wise. And I think, you know, pretty limited, but she knows the one thing that The Democrats want her to know which is deliver wins for the team. You're a left wing activist in a judicial robe. Give us what we want. That's why you are there. The law does not matter. And, and, but I think, I think that Katanji Brown Jackson, now you know who the two are voted against is Katanji Brown Jackson also knows that, that her job is not fidelity to the Constitution. And I truly mean this. Her job is whatever it takes to come up with some way to pretend the Constitution matters. Deliver for the left. Deliver for the left. On anything that matters. People say, oh, what about this 90 decision or what about that 9 decision? At some level they have, you know, first of all, those are things where I think there's even a recognition that the facade of judicial interpretation would be entirely gone. They wouldn't even be able to have their defenders in the media with a straight face say, oh yeah, you know, I mean, for example, when Colorado is, doesn't it feel like such a long time ago when Colorado tried to just take Trump off the ballot? And I think that was a 90 in the Supreme Court. They're like, no, you can't, you can't actually just do that. You can't just decide he did a bad thing. He, he can't run for president anymore. There's no, there was no basis in law. People in these states did this. It was Colorado. Right. I'm remembering this. Right. God, so much information has to go through my brain. And then Maine was considering it. Like Maine played footsie with the idea, but I think didn't fully go through with it to take Trump off the ballot. That was a thing. It was 90 but 1. They would realize that actually looks. That is too much. That's too much. They can't play the game. They can't deliver the long term wins. They need to, if it's clear that they're not even pretending. Right. They got to keep, it's like the media with, with objective, you know, with being objective neutrality. Everyone knows CNN's left wing. Everyone knows CNN is a Democrat propaganda outlet. But they, you know, got to keep the pretense going a little bit. A little bit. And then with the Biden dementia cover up, no pretense, full on propagandists. You know, that's. Some people aren't watching. This is, it's a joke. If I was a leftist. Wow. This is an alternate universe. If I was a leftist, I would watch one of these, these like, you know, online maniacs, whatever. Who's like, I'M a socialist, I'm a communist. At least there's honesty there. At least there's honesty there. So I think in this case, here's Ketanji Brown Jackson, by the way, writing on this case, remember, it's an executive power. It is something that the administration, the, the, the Biden administration did and had the authority to do. Half million people is a lot of people, a lot of people to just let hang out in America, right? Half million people. And Trump comes in and what you see and this is a consistent pattern with Democrats, what a Democrat has the power as president to do or his advisers because he's sputtering and you know, drooling his applesauce. But what a Democrat president has the right to do, a Republican president does not have the right to undo even if it falls within executive discretion. Right? So if, if Joe Biden has the, has the right to say yes, Donald Trump doesn't have the right to say no. And you go, well hold on a second, that's not how this works. Oh, according to Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sona Sotomayor, Sonia Sotomayor, that is how it works. Jackson writing in opposition. I love this too. How ABC News, they notice, let me see if they actually cite anything from the. Nope, nope. These are the tells you always have. You have a Supreme Court decision, you have ABC News, a corporate Democrat news outlet that in their write up of this pick nothing from the majority opinion. There's nothing there because they can't have an explanation present in this news article that shows you that only a moron truly could think that this isn't something that the Trump administration's allowed to do. There's, there's no argument here. Jackson, writing in opposition, accused the court's majority of quote, callously undervaluing the devastating consequences of allowing the government to precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million non citizens while their legal claims are pending. If, even if the government is likely to win on the merits in our legal system, success takes time. Jackson wrote, and the stay standards require more than anticipated victory. I would have denied the government's application because its harm related showing is patently insufficient. What, let me tell you, let me break down what's going on here. These people have a temporary right at the discretion of the executive branch to be in the country on humanitarian grounds. They have all these, you know, open borders, ACLU type left wing lunatic legal groups that are trying to find every way possible to keep them here and they want anchor babies happening and they want people, you know, trying whatever they can, work the system, keep them here as long as they can file some frivolous claim, file some. This is what they do. And what you see is the Trump administration's like, no, we're done here. No mas. You have to go. And Catanji Brown Jackson realizes that the scam is up. And so what she says is, it's just so mean. What you're doing is so mean. Because they have other claims. Well, they don't have other claims. If the executive branch has the power to say, you're going home now, now, that's the only claim that matters. And by 7:2, let's be clear, 7:2, the Supreme Court was like, yeah, sorry, you got. She even admits, she even admits that it's likely the government is going to succeed on the merits. But you see, delay is the whole point. Trump and his team see through this. They see the way that the Democrats abuse the system and abuse good faith. And on immigration, they do it more than anywhere else. Oh, these are asylum seekers. No, they're not. I mean, by the way, maybe some of these might be, but I'm talking about in general, the southern border. Oh, these are asylum seekers. No, they are not. Oh, this is about humanitarian concerns. No, it is not. And then on this issue, well, I just don't like what you're doing and so I don't want you to be able to do it. That's not how the law works. Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, that's how left wing activists work, which is exactly what they are. And it could not be more clear.

Lines open 800-28228-8, 2. And send us talkbacks. We're going to discuss here the latest with Harvard and that whole fight because there's new stuff. State Department now going to be scrubbing the social media. It says of or according to the administration of people who have anti Semitic stuff for non Americans here on a student visa. So they're testing out this whole thing like what are the limits of First Amendment protection for a non American on US Soil? Interesting question. And I'll get into my skirmishing theory on this a little bit, which I'll explain. You're like, buck, what is that? I'm like, well, if you stay with me a few minutes, you'll learn something new and interesting. I hope. I think you'll think it's interesting. Jim in Missouri. We got a great call here from Jim in Missouri. Jim, don't let me down. What's up? Hey, Buck, just want to let you guys know you and Claire doing a great job filling those big shoes of rushes. Oh, we're trying, sir. Thank you so much. We appreciate hearing. Right. To my point, having this many extra judges or activist judges is like having that many extra presidents. Yeah, it's by the way, perfectly said. Thank you, Jim. That was what we call a perfect call, by the way. I like you and Clay, you're doing good work. Point 1. And point to an astute observation about the mess that that is currently, the judicial activism and the universal injunctions. Right. So by the way, I'm just putting it out there for any who call in. Love you and Clay, brilliant observation, great call. So any, if you're like wondering what the template is or if you call in and make a, make a Clay flute joke or a Buck, have you gotten any sleep with the baby joke? Those are, those are fine too. But here's the thing. This has to be an area where the Supreme Court weighs in because the damage that, and I really, I mean this as somebody who loves this country so much and that sounds hokey, I get it, but it's really true. The damage that is being done to the judiciary right now. Look at the numbers. More injunctions already against Trump than in four years of Biden, the puppet tyrant, or maybe really the puppet of tyrants, all the little petty tyrants around him. But think about that for a second. Look at the numbers. The numbers don't lie. This is their all in strategy to stop Trump. So we'll take more calls the next hour. We've got. Oh, no, I think we got FBI coming up next, don't we? Is the FBI we got. We got Nicole Parker. Interesting news out of the FBI that I want to share with you. It involves, let's say, political activity, activity in pride, month in the office, and some other things. We're getting Nicole Parker up next. That's going to be a fascinating discussion and, yeah, basically just going to be an amazing show here. Continuing on. So get some Crockett coffee for yourself. Go to crockettcoffee.com for that and come back with us here in a minute.
