Welcome in. Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show Laughing as I come into our number two. By the way, Buck is in Taiwan. He interviewed the president of Taiwan there. He will have for you on Monday some of those interview segments. I'm laughing as an as I come back in out of break because I shared the Gallup poll about trust in media that a lot of you are reacting to on social media as well. And the comments there are really pretty great. And you guys are giving me a lot of talkbacks, a lot of calls about who you trust. And as I was reading to make sure that I'm updated on all the news during the commercial break, I come across our good friend Jesse Kelly, who many of you are going to hear on 6pm or later versions of the premier radio network. He is down in Houston. He responded to my question of who do you trust to be honest with you and not lie by saying, Jesse Kelly, did I trust me the most? You dead last. So, Jesse Kelly, I've got to respond. I haven't had time yet. But I'm going to say this is exactly the response I would expect from someone who ordered $75 shots at tequila. You know, you know, that's true. We were on, we were in New York City for those of you who may have forgotten and need to understand why you can't trust anything Jesse Kelly says. And we were having a nice, we're on the rooftop, great restaurant, everybody's having drinks, everybody's having a good time. Jesse decides we need a round of tequila shots. A round of tequila shots. I don't know. There were like six of us. I don't know, what should that cost? Seven, eight dollars each. I understand that I'm getting old, but at most, and I'm not talking about a dingy, you know, college bar, because I will, I will tell you this. If you, whatever your financial situation is, if you go into like an SEC college bar for a big game weekend, you will never feel richer than when you order like five beers. What they come back and say, I was, I was out recently and I went to the bar and, you know, it's crowded and last thing I want to do is stand in a crowded bar line. And so, you know, I'll try to buy, I'm an old man now, an unk, as my kids will call me. And so I'll try to get a bucket or some so I don't have to get back in line very fast. And I'll say, hey, you know, give me six Coors Light, six Miller Lights. I'm still not willing to order. Bud Light, whatever it is, an easy bar, you know, tab order. And the last time I did that, the girl came back and she was like, yeah, that'll be $21. And I was like, oh, this I. It's been so long since I went anywhere and somebody charged me something. And I thought, man, that's a lot less than I expected. Do you guys know, you know what I'm talking about? Like, everything costs too much relative to what I think it should cost now because of the Biden inflation, everything just went up like 25 or 30% at least. And so everything you order, it feels like it's way more expensive than it should be. And I think that's the angst and the anger and the being upset. But this was the second time in my life, the first time I was in New York. Producer Ali, you'll probably know where this place was. It was, I think after my first, maybe my second year of law school and my current wife, then girlfriend Laura, we were in New York. I think it was like the. So what's the really fancy hotel in Soho? The Soho House? Is it the Soho? Is that the name of the hotel? The Soho House? Would that be like, you walk in and there's kind of this cool bar and I don't know, it's probably like a 15 story place. I think that's where it is. I heart has a studio near there, right like that Ryan Seacrest used to use the Tribeca Grand. Tribeca grand, that's what it is. Yeah, the Tribeca Grand. Really nice place. Okay. I am 23, I have no money. And I remember I went to the bar in the Tribeca grand to get four beers and I think the bill was like $62, something like that. And I just remember thinking, I'm going to be the first person to ever go bankrupt ordering a round of beers in the history of mankind. I just couldn't believe what it cost at the Tribeca Grand. This same thing happened with Jesse Kelly. We're at, I think it was the Peninsula Hotel. We're on the rooftop. Everybody's having a good time. They bring six shots, $75 each. $75 each. Jesse Kelly ordered shots on my tab at the table. I didn't even know there was a $75 shot drink anywhere on the planet that should come with a gold bar. That should come with stock in the hotel. So when Jesse says he trusts me, the le the least of everybody, I just think it's important for all of you to know that he's balding and also that he's the kind of person who orders $75 shots of tequila. Um, so, Trusted Media, tons of you reacting to that story. Uh, and we're going to continue to take your reactions to that. But I think one reason trusted Media has collapsed is a lot of people in media are charlatans. A lot of people in media are completely dishonest, and they don't have a lot of gratitude. I am every single day. I encourage all of you to think, try to do this, too. Every single day, when I wake up, the first thing I think, before I even reach over and get my phone, before I see whatever the frenzy of the day is, I think, boy, here are two or three things that I are that I am very grateful for. And most time it has to do with my. My boys, my wife, my family, the jobs that I feel very fortunate to have. Before I do anything else, before I get out of bed for about 30 seconds, one minute, I just lay in bed, and I think, hey, here are the things that I am grateful for, because I think gratitude is probably the most underutilized and the most important of all emotions in the world at large. How many people in media do you think are grateful for the jobs that they have? Feel incredibly fortunate to be able to live in this country and make a living saying exactly what we think every single day. When I sit down, I put on my headset for about 10 seconds. I think, boy, this is an incredible privilege. I am so grateful that I get to do what I am doing today every single day for about 10 seconds. I think that when I put the headset on, and I've done that for 20 years, when I did local sports talk radio in Nashville, I remember sitting down thinking, man, I'm getting paid to do this. And I used to get paid nothing to do with this. My first job in radio, I made $0 to do a radio show, and then I got $50 to do a radio show. So I've legitimately done this for no money because I felt so excited to be able to do it. Joy Reid, Rachel Maddow. Do they seem grateful that they get to have media jobs that pay them millions of dollars to say whatever they think? This clip is going viral, and I wanted to share it with you because I do think that in addition to Facts versus Feelings, we were talking about with Ben Shapiro, who I think has done a really good job of making that his hallmark, his calling card, Republicans seem to me in general to be Profoundly thankful and filled with gratitude that we all get to live in this country. Now, I'm not saying that there aren't things every day where you wake up and you think, boy, this has not been a day. This has not been a week. This has been really hard. I'm not saying that it means that there aren't challenges or that you aren't sometimes frustrated and upset about the trajectory of the country. I just mean that as a general rule. Do you feel immense gratitude every day that you wake up for the privilege, for the good fortune that you live in the United States? I do. Warren Buffett has a great example of this, by the way. What are there 7 billion of us? It's really good. Illustrative. I think you could use it with your kids and your grandkids. He says, if you live in the United States today, pretend that every 7 billion people in the entire world were in a jar and you were represented by a marble. And you could reach into that jar of 7 billion people, and you could pull out any other marble. You could end up the Prince of England. You could end up the President of Taiwan who Buck just spoke to. No idea what you might draw as your fate. But he said, you know what? No one in America should ever change their marble. Think about that. We are also fortunate and privileged to live in this country, that no matter whether you are the richest or the poorest person in America Today, your marble, one of 330 million ish marbles, you should never, ever risk putting your marble in and drawing a new one, because the chances that you would end up in a better place and a better position than where you are right now relative to the world at large are very, very slim. And so I was thinking about that when I watched this clip this morning from Joy Reid. And Joy Reid said, this is From March of 2025, when my mom came here from Guyana. She's an immigrant. She realized it was not a land of opportunity for people like us. Cut 28. My father was from the Congo, and my mother was from Guyana. And so they were the immigrants who came here on purpose. And they got the rude awakening. My mother got the rude awakening. Like, oh, it's racist, Terry. That's weird. For some reason, she was talking to me. Why not crush it all? Yeah, tell me this is the land of opportunity, but not for me. So her dad was from Congo and her mom was from Guyana. And they're laughing. Ha ha. This is not the land of opportunity. Not for us. Boy, this is a super racist country. Why didn't you go back? I mean, that's the immediate reaction that I have. If you're not born here and you came to the United States, you could go back to Congo, you could go back to Guyana if you think it's super, super racist place and there's no opportunity for you here. By the way, Joy Reid got to go to Harvard and makes millions of dollars a year in politics just to share her opinion. Why wouldn't you go back? If I had been born in Denmark or South Korea or Botswana and I came to the United States and I got here and I said, boy, I expected it to be a lot better, this sucks. I'd go back to the country I was born in. Wouldn't you? How is the immediate reaction here? Not, boy, that's a tremendous lack of gratitude. How much money do you make, JOY Reed? Millions of dollars a year. You make more money than 99.9% of Americans. You got to go to Harvard, a place that 99.9% of Americans will never be able to attend. You got to do that as a first generation American. Would you have become a multimillionaire in the Congo? Would you have become a multimillionaire in Guyana? Would you have gotten to go to Harvard if you had been born in either of those countries? I think the answer is no. For all of that, where is your gratitude? Where is your thanks for the incredible good fortune that you had to be born in the United States because your parents came here? I don't think she even believes this. I think she's telling a lie. And I think she's telling a lie because Democrats are ungrateful for the country that exists here. And if you are ungrateful for the country that exists here, you have no problem tearing it down. They, at their essence, hate America and are not grateful for the immense gratitude benefits that have been lauded upon us. And I think that really goes to the essence of the two political parties. One party is grateful, the other is not. Now the Republican Party is not perfect. It still has people like Jesse Kelly who buy $75 shots when you could buy a normal cost shot. And then you're not even grateful when somebody like me foots the bill. I mean, really, I'm not saying Republicans are perfect, but there aren't many, very many Joy reads in this party. We come back, we'll take some more of your talkbacks feedbacks. Remember, we're going to be talking with John James, Michigan gubernatorial candidate at the bottom of the hour and he just got called out by the Reverend Al Sharpton. We'll have some fun with that. But in the meantime, this weekend coming up, we are soon going to be on the anniversary of the two year terror attack that happened in Israel on October 7, 2023. And a lot of you, including me, are going to show your support for Israel, the country that was Savagely attacked on October 7, 2023 by putting out flags. This is a nationwide effort to show that everybody out there should have support for the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and the work that they're doing to help honor and remember the day that 1200 Israelis lost their life and 250 more were taking hostages. What they're doing is called Flag of Fellowship. It's organized by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. If you'd like to join millions of Americans across the country standing in solidarity with the victims of the Hamas terror attacks, go to IFCJ.org the flags of fellowship movement open to everyone. Join this powerful and symbolic movement by going to ifcj.org that's ifcj.org stories of freedom, stories of America. Inspirational stories that unite us all. Each day. Spend time with Clay and Buck.

Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We're going to be joined by Jon James here shortly. All right, I got a request for you guys. All right. And I'm open to where you would like for me to make a donation to. So where's the best place to go with This I have got. If you're watching on video, my new book is coming out. It is one month away from being released. It's called Balls. I will post the link on my Twitter feed. It'll be up certainly at Clay and Buck, but you can just type in Clay Travis on Amazon, Barnes and Noble on any of the sites, and it will take you there. I'm in a good spot where there have been times in the past where I wrote books and I needed to sell copies of my book to be able to feed my kids, to be able to pay my mortgage. I'm in a good spot now where I don't have to worry about that. So I am going to donate all of the money that is made from this book to charity. But here's what I want. I want you to guys to give me good idea on what that charity should be. Second part of this, I want you to go, please buy the book. Because I want the arguments that I make in this book to get out as widely as they possibly can. You guys know that I believe best arguments win, but we got to get the best arguments in front of the largest possible audience. The way you do that, this is just full disclosure, is you sell a bunch of books in advance of the book actually being released. So they print a ton of them and they put them in the front of stores. I want this book to be in Hudson bookstores if you're walking through an airport. I want this thing to be in Costco. I want this thing to be in Walmart. The way that happens is we have to sell a ton of them before it's even released. So I'm asking you for a favor. And again, all the proceeds are going to charity. I'm in a great spot. I'm going to post the link on Amazon. Please go buy the book. The book is balls. It's easy. You just type in my name, Clay Travis. It's a fun read, but I think it's an important one. It's about how young men, sports fans, and President Trump won the election and, and how we keep the momentum of that win going forward. Your sons, your grandsons, your granddaughters, your grand. Your daughters. I think they would enjoy it. They might not have been exposed to the arguments that I'm making. I'm asking you to buy them, give it to people. Just type in my name, Clay Travis. I'm going to share it. I want this book to be as widely distributed as possible because I think the arguments are important and I think we are correct. I also know that there are a lot of moving parts out there when it comes to your cell phones, by the way. And that is why you need PureTalk. They can save you up to $1,000 over the course of a entire year. How much difference could that make? We get close to Thanksgiving, we get close to Christmas, we get close to the end of the year. That can make a big difference. I use PureTalk to stay in touch with my family. My 17 year old and my 15 year old have Pure Talk phones. It's what I use to stay in touch with them. I trust Pure Talk for my family. You can trust it for yours as well. You'll save a bundle. They have the same values as you. Here's how you switch. You keep the same phone number, same phone. £250, say Clay and Buck. That's £250 from your phone now say Clay and Buck. Save $1,000 over a year. Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We are joined now by Congressman John James. He's up in Michigan and he represents the Detroit area, which was a bit of a surprise, I guess, according to the Reverend Al Sharpton. Good to have you on, Congressman. For people who don't know that story, I retweeted your video response this morning. What happened there?
- [20:29]
A
Sure. Reverend Al Sharpton, as you know, is a host on the network. Msdnc. I'm sorry, msnbc. And he was talking to one of our progressive socialist candidates for Senate here and he made mention that Michigan hasn't had a black congressman for a while. And that's kind of odd because I think I've been black for the past 44 years. So imagine my surprise when I when I see this clip that one of my friends forwarded it to me saying that there was no black congressman for the state of Michigan. Now, I was raised to believe that regardless of the color of my skin, I would be judged by the content of my character. But sadly, with guys like Al Sharpton, there's only one way to be black. When his party believes that children should be addressed by 15,000 Ways in their gender, this is something that is indicative of how extreme their party has gone, that they are so blinded to reality that they either refuse to acknowledge the representation that is in the state of Michigan and the fact that we are turning away from their lives because everywhere there is Democrat control. In cities across the nation, overwhelmingly African Americans and all peoples, frankly, are suffering. So we are going to combat that in the way that Charlie taught us. We're going to combat that with ideas. We're going to combat that with words. We're going to combat that with better policies. And we are going to make sure that our better policies reach every corner of America to make our streets safer, to make our schools better, to make our jobs have better pay and more of them, to make our housing more affordable and more accessible. These are things that our policies went on. And you see people voting with their feet. So moving from states like New York to states like Florida, moving from states like California to states like Texas. These are the things that people see and they will not be fooled by the race baiters and the haters out there. So I just decided to tell the truth when they lied about us.
- [22:48]
B
We're talking to John James. He's running for governor of Michigan. I just was with you a couple of weeks ago up in Mackinac Island. I've talked about this quite a lot, but my wife's family is all from Michigan. And I said in the speech that I gave that I think Michigan is the most important state in the nation when it comes to what's going to happen in 2026 and what's going to happen in 2028 if Republicans win the governor's race that you're in and also win the state in the 2028 election, we're going to have great leadership. How does that happen? What do you see on the ground right now?
- [23:24]
A
Well, that's exactly right. Michigan is going to be the center of the electoral universe in 2026 for a we have an open governor's seat, we have an open Senate seat, we have a number of competitive House seats, we have a number of competitive seats in our state legislature. We have an open seat for the attorney general, open seat for secretary of state, and there's going to be over $500 million spent in the battleground state of Michigan in 2026. Having a strong pop of ticket, if you're concerned with making sure we hold a majority in Washington D.C. making sure that we have a strong top of ticket running for governor in the state of Michigan in the swing state is the most important thing you can do and I can prove it. When you look at swing states like Pennsylvania and Arizona, if you have a top of ticket that drags down the rest of the ballot, then you lose seats that Republicans should win. Like we lost two Senate seats, one in Arizona, one in Pennsylvania, and up to five House seats in Arizona and Pennsylvania. Contrastingly, you have Lee Zeldin in the last midterm who ran a strong race and he still fell short in New York. And I imagine there are a number of New Yorkers with buyer's remorse for Kathy Hochul at this particular point. But Lee Zeldin ran such a strong race that he pulled six Republicans across the finish line and five in districts that Biden won. And all that did was save the republic. We had such a thin majority in the 118th Congress, the last Congress, because we were able to compete and win in blue and purple seats in blue and purpl states all over the country. And Michigan is one of those places that we need to hold and have pickups. And the best way we can do that is have the strongest top of ticket in Michigan. Right now I am leading the primary by 50 points and I'm the only Republican who's beating the Democrats in the general. We have the Democrat mayor of Detroit who's running as an independent in the general election and he's bleeding more votes than the Democrats. This is a golden opportunity not just for 2026, but guys, we have a presidential election coming up in 2028 and we have a current Secretary of State who's in charge of our elections, who the DOJ is investigating for malfeasance in prior elections. Making sure that we can trust our election results is so important not just for Michigan, but for people all over the country. And then after that we have a census and then controlling, making sure that we have a good census to reapportion that Michigan is going to be the center and this is how we build. I'm old enough to remember when Florida was a swing state and Ohio was a swing state. But because Republicans stepped up, took ownership and began to change policies to make it more favorable for their citizens, they are now red states and they are thriving. And that is what's possible in Michigan. Michigan can not only be the most beautiful, most gritty, most amazing state, but we can also be the most well run state if we choose to pick up and we all get the support for a strong top of ticket and start planning for the future.
- [26:17]
B
We're talking to John James. He represents the 10th congressional district of Michigan right now. You went to West Point. What was that experience like? You also served overseas in Iraq. What was that experience like? For people who do not know your background, give them your bio and let them know how you came to be where you are today.
- [26:39]
A
I came to be where I am today by the grace of God and a mama who would not quit on a boy who was raised in Detroit when she watched a Bunch of other young black men go down the wrong path. She refused to surrender me to the streets. And my father and mother worked hard together to give me the best and my brother and sister the best lives that they could. And I know that since they come from the Jim Crow south, they came to Michigan for opportunities. And I've been exceedingly blessed in my life. And so they taught me that I have to use my blessings to be a blessing to others. That is why I knew that I needed to serve, serve my nation, this great country that has given us so much. No, we're not perfect, but we're the greatest nation that's ever been. And we need to share the good news with anyone who will listen and most who won't. This is what I was able to do. I graduated high school, I went to West Point. I graduated West Point 2004. I became a Ranger qualified Apache pilot and I flew 750 hours combat in Operation Iraqi Freedom. I came back home after that to join my family's business and I was able to help 10x the company top line revenue and add hundreds of jobs in Michigan and around the country. I started a family, beautiful life, three little boys, got a couple master's degrees, and now I'm in Congress. I'm serving the people of the state of Michigan because it's the honor of my life to give back and serve. And that is, that's what animates me. The interesting part about my West Point story. And real quick, my class was the first class to take the oath of affirmation, which means we will complete, we make a promise to complete our obligation in the first hour of the junior year. And we were the first class to make our oath of affirmation knowing that we would go to war. We were sophomores during September 11, and as a result, our class, our West Point class, has taken the most casualties of any academy class since Vietnam. And that is not just direct combat. That's also the unseen scars of war, that's also the suicide, that's also the overdoses. And so when you look at the mental health crisis in this nation, as a congressman now, as a governor later, and as long as there's breath in my lungs, I'm going to commit my life to addressing the scourge of substance use disorders, mental health under service, and making sure that we all have the resources that we need. We are not serving our veterans and we are not serving those who struggle with mental health adequately. Our schools, our hospitals and our jails are not made up. They are not configured to deal with the special needs of folks who are struggling with mental health. So the lessons that I learned at West Point, the lessons that I learned in combat and the things that I've seen serving the state of Michigan are all pushing me to restore hope in the state of Michigan. Restore trust in the state of Michigan. Restore wellness in the state of Michigan. Restore family and family values in the state of Michigan. And also this is important to restore beauty. When God looked down on the earth and he saw things that they were good, he saw things that were operating in the purpose that they were created for. Every plan that we make has to work within its purpose. And then when it's truly good, that's when things are beautiful. When you look at things throughout the course of humanity, we're not just here to eat, sleep, work and die. We are here for a purpose. Men, we are more than just our job. Women, you are more than just a vessel for babies. You are here to bring glory to God and love your neighbors as yourself and make this world a better place. These are all the things that we have the privilege to do in this great country. And we can all do it together in the future with the right leadership.

B
I love all that. For people who are fired up, they can find you where you can go.
- [30:25]
A
To john jamesmi.com where you can find me on all the socials at John James. And I thank you all so much and God bless you all.
- [30:32]
B
Yeah. By the way, one last question. How are the Detroit Lions going to the super bowl this year?
- [30:37]
A
The Detroit Lions are going to super bowl this year and every other year for the rest of my life. Dan Campbell is the best coach that has ever existed on the planet. And you know the best move, he let the Green Bay packers win that first game to take the pressure off his guys. You know what? That's what a great, great coach, you know. So Lions, lions will go 16 1, Super bowl champions and the score will be 74. 0. Lions.
- [31:02]
B
Outstanding stuff. We appreciate the time. It was great to hang out with you up at Mackinac and look forward to talking with you throughout the campaign.
- [31:09]
A
Of course. Thanks a lot. God bless.

That is John James, who is a the Democrats worst nightmare in many ways. I think if you look at what would happen if Republicans could take back control of the governor's mansion in Michigan. Just think about that. Leave aside John James's campaign. I think he made a really good, compelling pitch there. And we're going to talk to some of the other candidates out there as well. But as he said, you've got a big Senate race going on and that could be transformative if that seat were to flip, as it nearly did in 2024. And if you take over the governor's mansion, Democrats are in dire straits because there is a, a real march, I think, for the Republican Party in the state of Michigan. I feel that momentum again because my wife's family is all from there and we are in Michigan on a not pretty regular basis. So I feel like I understand that state a little bit better than than I do others. And that could be a huge difference because again, if you told me right now, hey, Republicans are going to Win Michigan in 2028, I would say, okay, Republicans are going to win the White House. And if you told me Republicans are going to be able to flip a Senate seat in 2026 and win the Governor's mansion, I would feel even better about what's going to happen in 2028. So, again, Michigan is a state I think everybody should be paying attention to to see what happens in all of these competitions. All right, get your pins, get your pads, get your paper. It's winning time now. We have won three out of the last four weeks. You just heard John James say Detroit Lions, they're on a roll. Okay, I want you guys, as I told you, to go to Prize picks. Great American company founded by a University of Georgia grad, now worth billions of dollars. They have got a great app that you can download and when you use code clay, you get $50. When you play, $5. I have given you four picks so far this year. Every Thursday on the program. We've won three times. We're trying to make it four out of five. And here are my picks for this weekend. Three of them are easy. You just go pick more or less. Baker Mayfield, more than one half passing touchdown for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sam Darnold, more than 1/2 passing touchdown for the Seattle Seahawks. And C.J. stroud more than one half passing touchdown for the Houston Texans. Okay, all three of those plus the Tennessee Titans are the worst team in the history of mankind. Unfortunately, they are also my team. They cannot do anything well. They are playing against Arizona this weekend. Cam Ward is going to have less than 179 and a half passing yards. Cam Ward less than 179 and a half passing yards. So Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold and C.J. stroud all to throw touchdown passes. Cam Ward less If we're right there, it pays 2.8x. That means if you put $10 down you would get back $28. You put $100 down, you get back $280. Let's play along. Hopefully we can make it four out of five. Go to prizepix.com my name Clay. When you play $5, all you have to do is click more or less on any athlete. You get $50. That's price picks pricepix.com code clay let's make it four out of five weeks as a winner.

Welcome back in Clay. Travis Buck Sexton Show A lot of feedback continuing to roll in. Let's hit some more of these talkbacks. And again, my request for you. I'm going to hit this couple of times today and then also talk about it tomorrow because we are one month out and I'm told this is when pre orders of books determine whether you end up in the front of stores. You know, this is frustrating. We're pushing uphill in terms of getting attention in bookstores because frankly a lot of big media outlets, they don't like me that much. They don't like you guys that much. They don't want to promote our stuff in the same way. But I think the COVID it's jarring. It's called Balls for a Reason. It's got two big basketballs on the front cover. The goal here is to cut through the noise and make people who may not have seen or heard arguments about why young men should be voting Republican, why sports fans should be voting Republican, why the culture. It matters. Trying to cut through and reach new people. And one of the best ways to do that candidly is if you're walking through an airport and you see a book, we all do judge books by their cover and you think for a minute, wait, what's going on here? And maybe you read this thing and you start to change the way that you think. This is how my brain works all the time. Always evangelizing, always trying to reach new audiences. A lot of you on talkback. Let's see, William from San Diego. Who do you trust in media? WILLIAM FF Yeah, I trusted Rush Limbaugh a lot.

And New Newsmax is pretty good, too. Appreciate that. Let's see. Trent, truck driver. He's in Kansas right now. Here's who he trusts. GG hey, Clay, this is Trent. I'm a truck driver in Kansas. I listen to you guys every day. I trust you and Buck wholeheartedly to give us truthful, accurate, factual information. I listen to other talk radio shows and stuff, but at home, I don't particularly watch news unless there's really something serious going on. I may turn on Fox News, but most of the time I just strictly get my information from you guys. Well, we appreciate that. And we don't take that responsibility and obligation and privilege lightly. As I was talking about, we're grateful every single day to get to talk with all of you and spend three hours with all of you. We got another hour still to come on the Thursday edition. Lots to dive into. Keep hanging with us.
