VGW Group void where prohibited by law 21/ terms and conditions apply. Welcome everybody to the Monday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show. Clay is out today doing some charity golf. So you are going to be rolling with me, Buck the Buckster. We're gonna have a lot to talk about. And Colby back tomorrow. He's actually down here in South Florida. So we'll be together in studio, which will be fun. Here's where we're going. State Senator Randy Fine of Florida. In the second hour of the program, the Democrats are pouring money into that congressional race, the Florida 6 congressional district. Randy Fine is trying to fight this one out. We'll talk to him about how it's looking and see what they're doing to try to steal that Senate, that congressional seat, that House seat. Just remember, we only have a three seat majority for Republicans in the House right now, so it is a tight one. We've also got our friend Ryan Graduski, third hour, going to join us talking about a few things. A Wisconsin Supreme Court, which we're very much still looking at the election there. And we'll talk about Florida 6. But also Marine Le Pen has just been sentenced to prison and banned from running in the next election in France. There's a broader trend here of populist politicians who go against the globalist agenda and somehow the law is used as a tool against them, abused, of course, as a weapon against them. You know, just sort of like what they tried with Donald Trump. Of course, unsuccessful against Trump, but we will get into some of that. Now. One thing that I've been focused on over the weekend is really looking at all of this insanity around Elon Musk and Tesla. This is now the, the new thing that the left has latched onto. As you know, it was masks and Foushee and the worship of Fauci during COVID And then it became Slava Ukraine and putting Ukrainian flags up and knowing nothing about Ukraine, having no strategy for Ukraine, but thinking you're a really good, wise and brave person for verbally and visually supporting Ukraine for many thousands of miles away. That is something that the left latched onto and became a. Something of a mass, mass delusion or a, I don't know, mass hysteria of sorts. A branding, a personal branding exercise. And now it is hating Tesla and hating Elon Musk, which just goes to show you how quickly the left and the Democrats can be mobilized to some new thing. You know, the new hatred of the moment, the new. The new decision that they are going to go after somebody. So here we have Elon. Now, one thing that I think is so important here about what Elon is doing is it's time limited. He's already said he's only got a few more months of doing this. What he is doing is good for all Americans and it is mathematically necessary. It is mathematically incredibly helpful. And the people who oppose him don't actually want any spending to be cut. They don't want any fraud to be stopped. They don't want the abuse to be discontinued for a whole range of reasons. They like it. Elon sees this as critical. And let's just be clear. All credit due here to Donald Trump as well, for allowing Doge to come into being and for finding somebody who has an incredible skill set for management, for finding the inefficiencies, for tearing apart the books to find the waste, to stop it. I don't think there's anybody better for this job than Elon Musk. And Elon also has an understanding right now of what the stakes are. This is cut four. This is a guy who came to America and has now truly understands and is working toward everything he can do to sustain and save America. Play four.
- [04:36]
Clay Travis
I mean, I worry generally about the strength of America. America is the central column that holds up all of Western civilization. So if you like, if you've got the temple of Western civilization, America is the central column. If that column fails, it's all over. You can't run off to New Zealand or some other place. It's over. So either we strengthen that column and make sure America is strong and will be strong for a long time, or, well, that roof's coming down.
- [05:12]
Buck Sexton
America is the central column that holds up all of Western civilization. He says it is absolutely true. Unfortunately, the closest ideological and national security and economic allies of the United States in Western civilization are either insignificant or rapidly failing countries. Insignificant geopolitically. I don't mean they're not nice countries with nice people. But no one cares what New Zealand really thinks about international affairs. A Small country with there's more sheep than people. I believe that's a true statistic. If not, it was certainly funny when I read it on the Internet. And then you have Great Britain, once a great empire and now rapidly declining and increasingly abandoning Western civilization. The. The original fountain of Western civilization in so many ways. Well, not the original, but the one that passed the torch to us is now abandoning it, which is certainly distressing to see. But what Elon understands is, so go with America, so go with the free world. There is no future in which America has a financial collapse or America ceases to be a dynamic economic and, yes, national security force on the world stage. And other places and other countries are doing just fine that want to also be free. Keep in mind of the $115 trillion, give or take global economy, America counts over 30 trillion of that. So our cool little country America is basically 25 or 30% of all economic output globally. That's a pretty astonishing statistic. And it's why what we're doing now, what Trump is doing, what Elon is doing, trying to fix this, is so very essential, because the ramifications for the rest of humanity truly are enormous. It's not just about us. So many countries, the freedom of navigation on the seas, so much that we take for granted. A economic system that not only allows for individual freedom, but is a prosperity generation miracle. If you look at how much wealth has been created, truly wealth, not. This isn't about status. This isn't about, you know, who's being raised up, who's being raised down. This is across the board, how many people have been taken out of poverty in the last hundred years globally, thanks to America and the system that we perpetuate, that we are the guarantors of. We are the greatest force for good in the history of the world. That is just the truth. We have alleviated more suffering and brought about more happiness and hope than any other political entity, any other polity, any other nation state, group of people in the history of the world. That's a pretty fantastic resume, isn't it? But it's also one that we have an obligation. We have an absolute, sacred obligation to perpetuate. And this is part of what I think is motivating Elon so much right now. And Trump, as we all know, Trump doesn't need all this. The billionaire, he's got a lot of grandkids. He's got lots of energies, got a great swing on the golf course. He's earned the right to just sit back and retire. If you want to know. Instead, he wants to go back into the fight and to do what is necessary to try to fix the ailing American system. And a big part of this is the economics, but also the social and political aspects of it. The falling birth rate in America, we need to have more babies. But globally, in Western civilization, Western European countries, this is a crisis, truly a crisis. Again, one based in numbers. There are things you can have opinions about and then there's math. And the math speaks to the crisis. Clearly, Elon is speaking to this as well. Here he is talking about this is Cut five, how humanity is effectively dying. This was on Fox.
- [09:32]
Clay Travis
The birth rate is very low in almost every country and unless that changes, civilization will disappear. America had the lowest birth rate, I believe, ever. That was last year. Places like Korea, the birth rate is 1/3 replacement rate. So that means in three generations Korea will be 3 or 4% of its current size. And nothing seems to be turning that around. Humanity is dying and people, it's, it's just not something we evolved to react to.
- [10:04]
Buck Sexton
We're talking about real existential challenges for humanity here. When you look at a falling and declining birth rate, this could be, hey, this could have enormous consequences for future generations, whatever's left of future generations. And it will have tremendous, there'll be tremendous upheaval as a result of this too, because you're not going to be able to have the society sustaining themselves the way that they've set up to. And the increasingly beleaguered, smaller, up and coming generations aren't going to want to prop up the gerontocracy. I mean, you're going to see a bunch of huge problems continue to play out. If this is the way we go forward. Elon is trying to tackle this stuff. On the other side of it, I just want to note. So you've got Elon and Trump and they're trying to tackle the debt, they're trying to secure our borders, they're trying to make the government function semi efficiently and appropriately. Elon's also looking at how do these politicians become so rich? I'll come back to that. Some of these politicians are making less than 200 grand a year and yet they're worth 10, 20 million dollars. Let me tell you. Really hard to get the 20 million dollars and you're making 170 grand a year. Unless something else is going on. Elon's looking at that. They don't like that. You'd wonder why would they not? Why would they care? What's wrong? It should be total Trans politicians should be total transparency about their finances. There should be nothing that is hidden from the public. So what's going on? But while Elon and Trump and the right are tackling these very real problems right now, day in and day out, what is the left doing? They're writing swastikas on Teslas, they're lighting Teslas at car dealerships on fire. They're acting out like emotionally unstable maniacs because their team didn't win. And they've been fed all this propaganda and they're unserious people who are sad with their own lives and need something to latch onto. And so you're seeing yet again, this is the difference between Democrats and Republicans playing out in real time. They have become an entirely, and they have been for a long time, but entirely unserious people when it comes to the real challenges that face us and the things that need to be fixed. And really what unites them is hatred of us while we try to fix them. And I don't know how sustainable that is. I don't know where that really goes. But I would also note this. While I told you that 30 trillion of the 115 trillion of the global GDP is America, and I know they're all Trump and his tariffs. It's fine. It's going to be fine. Oh, if it's really that rough, he'll pull the tariffs, but you know, he's negotiating. As they say, let them in. Let the Trump be Trump. Like, they need to just chill about this, but they're not going to. But While we have 30 trillion of 115 trillion of the global economy, you know who's in the number two spot? China, a communist authoritarian state. What happens if we fall? Who. Who becomes the global leader on the economy? Who becomes the most powerful single political entity? It's not the eu, which is just a bunch of squabbling bureaucrats drinking lattes. It's going to be China. So we don't think of this the same way we did during the Cold War. It was us or the evil empire. But we got to fix things. And we have to be the leaders in AI and we have to be the leaders in. In advanced computing and rocketry and all of these things, a lot of which Elon's working on. You start, you see the trend, right? We have to be the ones that are leading in those areas, or else leadership of the world will pass from us to a country that does not share even our most fundamental values and that is founded on a belief system propagated by a true sadist and sociopath, Mao Zedong. So, yeah, there's real challenges right now. Elon Trump, the right Republicans, we're trying to fix them. They're running around keying people's cars because they don't like something that Elon said. Is there anything else that's. That's more front and center for the Democrats right now than hatred of Elon? I would have to say no. And that tells you everything you need to know. So we'll continue to unpack this, we'll look into more of this, but I just think we have to recognize what's really at stake, what we're trying to do and what the other side is trying to do. And these things are not like each other. Something has gone so wrong in the Democrat Party and there is no sign of them fixing it at all right now. Total and utter collapse from a intellectual, moral and ethical perspective. We'll take your calls. We'll get into it. Tax season is here again. Oh, boy. Meaning the majority of us have filed returns, or about to. But what do you do if you have years of missing returns or if you already owe back taxes? Every day you put it off. The likelihood of the IRS seizing your assets, garnishing your paycheck, going after you and your business. If you owe payroll taxes that increases. They might even revoke your passport.

I bet almost the entirety of the 2022, 23 NBA season, all the regular season, then about half the playoffs. And I learned that, I mean, it's probably what I should have expected, but I learned that it's pretty hard. I went on a huge heater at the start of the NBA season where it was up like 70,000 bucks.

Buck Sexton
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. I was telling you that the challenges that Trump and the team are facing right now are substantial by choice. They're going after big stuff. We're not sitting around here arguing whether the top marginal tax rate should be 35 or 37 or whatever. We're looking at the future of this country. And this is a moment and it's not going to last. I a moment where meaningful change can be accomplished that will benefit all Americans. It's not even a partisan agenda. If you want to take the position that Democrats actually want the American economy to continue to function and create sustainable wealth and shared prosperity, I'll leave that as an open question. I mean, you know, I'm going to leave that. Or if you believe that having secured borders and not having, I think on that one, Democrats are even more weak and more obviously false in what they want, what they believe. But here's Trump talking about his first hundred days? This is cut 16. Hit it. I think I'm popular because we've done a great job. I think we've had the best almost.
- [18:55]
Donald Trump
Hundred days of any president. And most people are saying that. And it's an honor.
- [19:02]
Buck Sexton
We're bringing back our country.
- [19:03]
Donald Trump
We're respected as a country again, and we're strongly respected. And people are amazed. I was with some very important people today, and they said that they've never seen a turnaround of a country as fast as this.
- [19:18]
Buck Sexton
Look, it's been a great first couple of months. Trump is doing phenomenally well. His team is excellent. They're on message. They're on. And I would tell you if that wasn't the case, I got heat when I Trump first term. I didn't like some of the picks, some of the people he put into. I didn't like what was going on. He didn't like them either. He fired them. But he's doing a great job so far. Don't let the media do this thing where they just try to create a constant stream of anxiety headlines based on nothing. Oh, he's gonna bomb Iran. Oh, he's gonna, you know, give up Ukraine to Russia. Oh, he's. This is the game that they play. We will bring you the truth and what's really going on here. Two things are certain. Our tax returns are due to weeks from tomorrow. And if you switch your cell phone service to Pure Talk, Moving away from AT&T Verizon or T Mobile, you'll save 50 bucks or more every month. I've relied on Pure Talk cell phone service for years now. Pure Talk only charges $25 a month for unlimited talk text and 5 gigs of data on America's most dependable 5G network. When you put the entire family on a Pure Talk plan, the savings grow. The average size family of four saves more than a thousand dollars a year when they switch to Pure Talk. And with Pure Talk's US Customer service team, you can switch hassle free in as little as 10 minutes. You can even keep your phone and your number. So using your cell phone, now dial £250, say the keywords Clay and Buck to make the switch, and you'll save an additional 50% off your first month. Dial £250, say those keywords Clay and Buck. I'm on PureTalk. I've been on it for years. They're fantastic. £250, say Clay and Buck. Make that switch. Save money today. All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. You would think that the return of the astronauts would be something that would be all over the news everywhere, not just on Fox, not just talked about here. It's being covered. But have you noticed a lack of fanfare around this? And I certainly haven't seen much in the way of thanks from the journalist establishment toward SpaceX and Elon Musk for allowing this to happen. Clearly, Elon Derangement Syndrome is real now. And I think at some level it is because they worry that Trump, because of his age and his term limits. I know, I saw two over the weekend. Trump's going to go for a third term. This is just the left, the Democrats, they need something to just convince them that he's the boogeyman, that he's horrible, that he's a monster. And so, all right, this is the same. Trump's gonna bomb around. Trump's gonna remember when he was gonna start World War III with North Korea. That's what they said, because he was gonna meet with the North Korean dictator. Kim Jong. Kim Jong Il and. Or Kim Jong Un. Sorry, whoops. That's the other one. I believe in North Korea it's considered a necrocracy because technically Kim Il Sung is still like the leader of the party or something. It's crazy over there. I mean, truly makes the Democrats over here look pretty normal by comparison. But we have now a very clear wave of anti Elon derangement. Even in New York City. There was a Tesla store in Manhattan and people were laying on the ground outside, this was just a couple of days ago, holding up signs urging Elon to be well, violence against Elon and more destruction of Tesla property. And these people are insane. These people are insane. But what it goes to is they have decided that they must oppose the people who are trying to do the good things, irrespective of the good things they're doing. Trump said this in his joint address to Congress, and it's so true. No matter what he wants to accomplish, Trump, and I really mean this. A Trump initiative on cancer. Guys, we're going to. We're going to have the best minds in the country. We're going to bring truly the best scientists. The. And we're going to work private sector, public sector. We're going to try to cure as much cancer as we can. Democrats would find ways to have huge problems with that, huge problems with that. And in fact, if he cured cancer, they'd be like, oh, well, what are we going to do with all these old cancer treatments? Now he's putting people out of work. They're insane. They're insane. There's no reasoning with this faction, the Tesla burning faction of the Democrat Party. There's no way to reach them. You can't convince them of anything. It's really a mass mental illness, which I think just comes from watching enough msnbc. Think about it. They'll tell us that, you know, our society is like, fused with white supremacy because of history textbooks or because of our entertainment. They'll tell us that there's so many things in our country that violence comes from video games, whatever it is. But one thing that they really don't ever want you to think about is, wait, where does all this hatred from Elon come from? Right. It's the media. They have convinced people and they have effectively induced manufactured, if you will, some kind of a mass mental illness. And it's. It's insane. It's crazy to watch this play out. Remember, he's trying to fix things that need to be fixed. This is not a fight over whether, you know, a state is going to have abortion illegal except in all, all cases, except for rape and incest or at, you know, six weeks or 12 weeks or something. This is not a contentious Partizan issue currently, or it shouldn't be. It wasn't until someone actually tried to fix it. So, yes, I think there's a lack of fanfare around what's going on with Elon and the. I'm sorry, with the return of the astronauts specifically. And I think also the idea that the Democrats have learned any lessons. I keep seeing this pop up and they don't seem to be changing really anything. And here's an example. Gavin Newsom is going on show after show. He's working on his tan. He's got his shirt four buttons down now, four buttons unbuttoned all the way. I mean, you can see naval. That's how dedicated to being the next President of the United States Gavin Newsom is. I mean, this is a guy who will tell you that he's for the thing that he's actually against while telling you that he's against the thing that he's actually for. And look at you with a big grin and a big smile. The problem is his party is still controlled by lunatics and he can't turn on the lunatics. I don't believe, by the way, that he is one. I don't believe that Gavin Newsom is a true believer. I think he is just an avatar of power in the ruling class. And he'll do whatever, he'll say whatever he'll change whatever. He just wants to be in charge and to be liked by the home team. In his case, the communist Democrat loons. But Bill Maher sat down with him. Bill Maher's going to have dinner with Trump. As you know, he's going in for dinner with Trump. And you know, I'm going to tell you, when I was on Bill's show back in October, I've talked to you about it a bunch because I nailed that show because I spoke all of the truths and told him Trump was going to win the election. And people laughed and I pointed at them and said really? Yeah, Trump won big time, bigly, bigly. As you know. But I tried to tell, and I think this might have been in the overtime segment, which is their digital only segment, but I said, look man, Trump is not a fascist. He's not going to end democracy. Like, you've got to just stop with this stuff. It's just not, it's just silly. It's not. And Bill was like, no, no, no. Trumped arrangement. He had trumped arrangement. He is starting to move a little bit away from that, at least in so much as he's willing to have dinner with Trump. So that's a good thing. But, or whether it's a good thing or not, I leave to you. I mean, I don't think it changes anything. It doesn't do anything, you know, I don't know, be better serve the Trump to have dinner with me. But put that aside. I got a lot of things to say. But Bill Maher had Gavin Newsom on to talk about where things are at the party. And one area where the Democrats have just been, they've been losing and they continue to lose. The American public is not just on the trans stuff, broadly speaking, although that's true, but on the transing of kids and how that is handled vis a vis parents. That's a really sensitive and should be sensitive area. I mean, can you imagine and remember Elon has a trans son. I think it's a female now, but not really female, you know what I mean? A trans female. You know the verbiage here is a guy who thinks he's a girl that happened to one of Elon's children. And Elon has pointed to that as why he has been so red pilled. So this is why I, I think his conversion is, you know, he's like somebody who has fled a communist country that was, he saw all the oppression and destruction and now is a, an ardent anti communist. Let me tell you the Cubans that I know and I know Cuban Americans now, the Cuban Americans that I know who live in South Florida. And I know some, including one who was at the Bay of Pigs. Yeah. Became an American afterwards, obviously. But they hate communism more than anybody. They really hate communism because they've tasted it, they've experienced it and they know and they are, you know, they, they love this country and they are ardent anti communists in all the best possible ways, I think. Elon, unfortunately, had suffered personally from the ravages of wokeness, and that is part of his transformation. That's why it is so powerful, so profound. It's one of the reasons why I trust it so much. His actions, yes, speak louder than any words, but also the origin story here of how this all came together. I don't, I cannot even begin, you know, as you know, I'm supposed to have a child next week. I mean, it's little boy is due next week. It's not like, it's not like I'm scheduling a, you know, a pickup at Costco. Oh, not Costco. Not Costco, sorry. Some other Sam's club. You guys tell me Sam's club is not woke. So sound like I'm scheduling a pickup. Yeah, next week I'm going to get a kid. But yes, no, I think we're due next week. So that's what's supposed to happen. But I haven't even had my son yet or met my son yet officially. And I know that there's nothing that I. There is nothing I would not do to protect my son. I already know that. And I can't imagine what it's like for Elon. I know he's got many children, but I can't imagine what it's like for Elon to look at what was done to his child and understand the ideology behind it and who has pushed this and who. Oh, so he is, he is a true believer in this, in our side now and how important it is. And when Bill Maher challenged Gavin Newsom on the trans rule, specifically in California, affecting kids in school and what the policies are. I want you to listen to this exchange from Bill Maher show this Friday, Play eight.
- [30:30]
Clay Travis
I see today the Trump administration is. They talked about. I don't know if this is true, but they talked about the fact that California had a rule that schools cannot be required to notify parents if their kids in school have changed their gender, their pronouns. That's the kind of thing. Even though it doesn't affect a lot of people. That makes a lot of People go, well, you know what? That's the party without common sense. Now, if that's your state, how are you?
- [31:02]
Donald Trump
I just disagree with that. I mean, the law was you would be fired, a teacher would be fired if a teacher did not report or snitch on a kid talking about their gender identity. I just think that was wrong. I think teachers should teach. I don't think they should be required to turn in kids and by the way, turn in.
- [31:19]
Buck Sexton
We're talking about their parents.
- [31:20]
Clay Travis
How can you snitch?
- [31:21]
Buck Sexton
I don't.
- [31:21]
Clay Travis
The idea of a snitch and a parent to me doesn't compare well, I just, I don't.
- [31:25]
Donald Trump
But what is, what is the job of a teacher? It's to teach. If Johnny's talking about some identity issue or some issue about liking someone of the same sex, is the teacher's job to then report that? By the way, in this law, the teacher can still do that, but they can't be fired if that's not what they do.
- [31:43]
Buck Sexton
So he wants to create a carve out for far left teachers to hide. And by the way, we all know, right, that a teacher who would hide the gender transition from the kid's parents is also a teacher who's probably been really encouraging of this whole idea the whole time, right? What are the chances those two things go together? You know, you start to look at the numbers here, you start to look at the statistics. It's like that head of creative at Disney a couple of years ago when Chris Ruffo, God bless him, was finding the videos of Disney internal meetings. We got the whole Snow White disaster. Just, I mean, the whole thing is a poison apple, right? We got the Disney disaster and you saw there was a woman who was senior creative officer of Disney, I forget what her technical title was, but high up. And she has a trans kid and a pansexual kid or something like that. I got two kids, one's trans, one's pansexual. What are the chances? Well, it comes from mom, obviously, meaning that she's pushed this on her kids as a fashionable ideology that she uses. Almost like she has fashion accessories. Oh, look at me, look at me. I've got these really strange identity, gender identity children. We all know this is what's going on. It's very obvious. But Gavin Newsom is creating this whole. Oh yeah, don't. You don't want them to snitch to the parents. Why wouldn't, why wouldn't the parents know? The parents would be told if there were any number of things that were going on, the parents will be told, you know, if the kid has a fever at school, you're not going to tell them. If the kid all of a sudden says he's a different gender. Would you tell the parents if the kid was starting to say things that might make you think that they're a danger to themselves or others? Well, of course, right? I mean, any ethical teacher would. But you're not going to tell them about this. And he says, well, you can still do it, but you can't be fired for. Well, if there's no action that can be done, clearly a teacher can make the decision to hide this. And I think we all know that the teachers who would make the decision to hide it would be in favor of it. Because any normal person would say, this kid needs mental health assistance asap. Why is this so important? Why am I hitting on this right now? Because Gavin Newsom has changed nothing. He is just trying to put a new coat of paint on a rusted out, beat down car. That's not going to get the American people where they want to go. He is just a used car salesman in the worst sense. I know there's a lot of good used car salesmen out there. Sorry, I feel like that's always unfair. Why used car salesmen? There's some very nice used car salesmen, but he is a too slick for his own good or anyone else's own good. BS artist. There you go. He is a BS artist extraordinaire. So I'm sitting here right now and some of you saw, by the way, I posted a photo with myself and Carrie over the weekend on Instagram. You can go check it out. We were just going for a family dinner and my dad was visiting and all of you are like, oh my gosh, you've actually, like, you really have worked on your fitness. I'm like, yeah, it's been six months of all out. I mean, very, very specific diet. I could talk to you about it. Looking at my macros, I got a fantastic fitness coach who it's just all the above. It's, it's mindset, it's food, it's, it's workouts and yes, it's proper supplementation. And part of my regimen I'm holding right in my hand is chalk daily. I've never, hopefully I'm taking this while I'm doing the ad. Hold on. There we go. I actually just took my chalk daily in real time on radio. You know what's great is that when we have a chalk ad, It's a reminder for me to take my chalk daily because I keep it right here on the desk and it says boost free and total testosterone supports lean muscle mass. I have added about 10 pounds of lean muscle mass and lost about. Now, I'm not saying this is specific to any one thing. There's a lot of things that go into this, but I probably lost about 30 pounds of not lean muscle. So yeah, the regimen is working in proper supplementation is a key part of it.

I bet almost the entirety of the 2022, 23 NBA season, all the regular season, in about half the playoffs. And I learned that, I mean, it's probably what I should have expected, but I learned that it's pretty hard. I went on a huge heater at the start of the NBA season where it was up like 70,000 bucks. I'm like, man, I'm really good at the sports betting stuff. But then, but then things change now.

All right, welcome back in. We were telling you just a few days ago before the weekend got kicked off about the, well, somewhat concerning elections that are coming up in terms of how close they are. Wisconsin Supreme Court election and also here in Florida, my home state, very proud of my home state where the 6 congressional district is in the mix. We have Randy Fine. He's going to be joining us here shortly. He is the Republican running in that district. We'll get the latest update from him. As we know, Trump had had decided that he needed to have Stefanik stay in her current gig. So she is not going to be the U.S. ambassador, United Nations. So that's the level of interest there is in this right now. Here is a talkback, by the way, talkbacks for talkbacks for the show. You go to the iHeart app, which is a fabulous app, and you click on the microphone and you just send us a talk back. This one is AA in Spokane, Washington. Listener Kerry.
