Welcome in our number three Wednesday edition Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show, a couple of quotes we'll hit you with from President Trump courtesy of Axios. If you are out there and you are wondering what is going on, the latest in Iran quote from President Trump. Anytime I want the war to end, it will end. Also, the war will end soon. There's practically nothing left to target. President Trump on the road right now preparing to have events in both Ohio and Kentucky as primaries near, particularly in Kentucky where I know there's a big battle over the Senate in particular, but also what's going to happen with Congressman Massie. There we head now. I believe she is in Georgia. I know she is on with us to talk about the goings ons in Georgia, one of the chiefs battlegrounds that exist in the country for the midterm where they're going to have John Ossoff, the existing sitting senator, up for reelection and they're determining who the Republicans going to be challenging him. And Marjorie Taylor Green is being replaced in her north Georgia district. That primary I believe just happened yesterday. Ashley Brassfield with us now. Let's start right there. Ashley, thanks for coming on with us. The Marjorie Taylor Greene race is to replace her. They now have Democrat and Republican nominees. How does that look and what can you tell us overall big picture about the state of Georgia?
- [01:36]
C
Yeah. Well, that Marjorie Taylor Greene race that you saw yesterday, the primary happened with the gop, a ton of people in that race. And we saw Trump endorse candidate Clay Fuller come out on top there. Colton Moore was another name that a lot of people were speculating. A state senator in Georgia that's pretty well known that could have came out in that race. It ended up being Clay Fuller, though. And we'll see him go against the Democrat with the last name Harris in that runoff to see who fills that seat. Of course, Marjorie Taylor Greene's district is actually where I'm from in Georgia, so I know it well. And it's very rural area in the northwest part of the state. And so it's I think a GOP stronghold there even without Taylor Greene holding that seat. But like Kentucky, like you were talking about, the state of Georgia is seeing a big Senate race take place, a three way tie right now with Buddy Carter, Mike Collins and Derek Dooley. And it's very similar into that Kentucky race. And what we are just now seeing in the Texas GOP Senate primary where there's going to be a runoff. Texas and Georgia very similar, where they both have that 50% mark that the candidates have to get to in order for there to be no runoff. So that's going to be coming up on May 19th and it's going to be a big race.
- [02:44]
A
Hey, Ashley, it's Buck. Thanks for being here with us. So I know you're covering this. And as you mentioned, it's particularly close to home as your district. You are a Georgian and your district is one of the ones where there'll be quite an interesting matchup playing out. But what can you tell us about the situation of the governor's race at this, at this point? Obviously, Kemp is term limited, right. He can't run again. So you've got a pretty big field here of Republicans and Democrats. Can you, can you break down for us what that's looking like at this stage?
- [03:18]
C
Yeah, well, that governor's race is going to be very intense and I think there is that dynamic. And I've kind of touched on this in my Senate piece of that dynamic between Trump and Kemp and the Trump Trump endorsed candidate here and who the Kemp endorsed candidates are going to be here. Well, at the governor's race, I think you're going to see the lieutenant governor, Burt Jones, get both endorsements from Trump and Kemp on that one. Where it differs in the Senate is that Kemp has already endorsed former football coach at Tennessee Derek Dooley here in this race and Trump has not endorsed a Senate candidate. So that's kind of the differences in the races here. But you see Brad Raffensperger, who's also running for governor, that's a familiar name you might Remember back from 2022. And the attorney general that you know, made the call from the president during the election fraud scandal. So there's a long history of feuds happening in the state of Georgia. As many know, it's a purple state. And so I think it's going to be a battleground. It's kind of been this powder keg that's been waiting kind of to explode and it's been kind of the Southern charm aspect to it where nothing's quite happened yet. But these primaries coming up, I had my eye on it personally. Like we just saw in Texas, it kind of exploded all of a sudden
- [04:20]
A
and we don't know who the Trump guy is. Just to be clear, right, they're still angling for a Trump endorsement in that governor's race on the Republican side?
- [04:29]
C
Yes, I believe so. If not, Bert Jones hasn't gotten it yet. But I think they're Bert Jones is kind of the guy that everybody's looking at. He's, of course, a former football, Georgia football player. And I will say that football characteristic in Georgia seems to play. I mean, we saw Herschel Walker Back in 2022, Burt Jones, I was on the campaign trail back in 2024. He was at the Georgia Tech rally with President Trump on stage. So these are characters that are very familiar. You know, I would say that, you know, when the then the president was in Rome just about two and a half weeks ago, you saw on the stage Barry Loudermilk, Mike Collins and Brian Jack, and those are kind of the key players here in these races. And if you really want to get into the lore and the deep insider knowledge of Georgia, I mean, you can go back to the dynamic with Governor Kemp and Trump and people like Steve Wyckoff, Lindsey Graham, same characters we're kind of seeing in this Iran war stuff, playing those middlemen and making deals in the state. So I think you're going to be seeing more of that possibly as well.
- [05:21]
B
Ashley, this primary is May 19th. I think you can correct me on the exact date that's correct. We just talked yesterday with Michael Watley, who is running in North Carolina, and he said, and I, I can't believe this number, Ashley. He said it might cost $600 million for that Senate race in North Carolina. I would have to think the numbers would be somewhat similar in Georgia because this is why Georgia is so important for people out there who aren't paying attention to the map. It is by far the best chance for Republicans to take back a Democrat seat. And there is no math. If Republicans could win the Senate seat in Georgia, there's basically no math under which the loss of the Senate could occur. Ossoff's a favorite right now, but, but that's why so much attention. I know the governor's race is big, but in terms of national politics, that Senate seat is huge.
- [06:18]
D
Right.
- [06:18]
C
And it's going to be a challenge for Republicans. We've seen that back since 2020 when Leffler and Purdue, you know, were running to replace and, you know, take over those seats. Democrats Raphael Warnock and John Ossoff took them. We saw Raphael Warnock be challenged in 2022, and that was unsuccessful. So it's going to be a real test for the GOP without Trump's name on the ballot, like in 2024 to see if they'll be successful here and, you know, to differentiate the candidates. You have the Kemp endorsed Derek Dooley and he has that governor's endorsement behind him from the start. Nothing from Trump yet. Mike Collins, he's done a great job of getting behind the grassroots support in Georgia, going to I believe, 159 counties and counting. He was also at that From Georgia event not too long ago with Trump on stage. And so while we also have Rep. Ronnie Carter, they Collins and Carter have been Trump allies for a very long time. Derek Dooley was not voting in those earlier elections for Trump, but still has that support from Kemp. I think it's going to be a very interesting dynamic of who can go up against somebody where Jon Ossoff is perceived by a lot of people as still a moderate, even though he might not be to a lot, but also in the state where it's purple, but he also has really great constituent affairs. And that's what I'm hearing from my instate people who live there. So I think it's going to be a very big challenge for the GOP in the state, much like North Carolina is. And if you look at Georgia and North Carolina, the situations are flipped with the count, whether it be with the governors and the senators there. So it's very interesting.
- [07:41]
A
Ashley Brassfield with us from the Daily Caller. And she's in Georgia and she's covering that Georgia election as the primary is coming up here very closely. Ashley, what if you could just refresh my memory. You know, we have to pay attention to a lot of political stories here. I recall Marjorie Taylor Greene was among the most pro Trump Trumpy members of Congress. And then there's been some like falling out, like a pretty big one. What what happened? What was the issue or where, where did this all go? It seems like one of the, the crazier turnabouts I've seen on the Republican side in a while.
- [08:20]
C
Right. It felt like, I think to a lot of people that weren't following closely for a long time as this big explosion that all of a sudden happened. And you know, I think a lot of it left everybody in dismay. But this, I mean, can go back all the way to, you know, when Trump got into office in 2024, who was he picking? And Marjorie Taylor Greene at one rally in South Carolina voiced that she would not mind taking the DHS position. You follow along, she became, you know, a big player in that Doge effort on the Oversight Committee. And I think she started to see some things happening within the Trump administration in those first six months that she wasn't exactly pleased with some policy changes, whether it be immigration, the tariffs that she was heading for a while, but she kind of switched her tune on. And then I do think she wanted to run in that Georgia Senate race. She's made comments about many of the candidates in that race that she's not thrilled about them. So I believe that there was some internal polling shown by the White House to Taylor Greene that showed her being beaten, I guess, the general election with all soft. So I don't think she was pleased with that. And I think that's where things started to take a turn there. She kind of saw where the puck was going and I think the relationship just continued to sour. Especially, you know, she's become this very anti involvement and war type of individual. And then you saw the big explosion take place back in, you know, December, November time period. And she is no longer in Congress. So now we're seeing this special election. But I don't think people understand the full scope of that story. And I think it was a very interesting one to see happen within the first year of the Trump administration from somebody like Taylor Greene, who's been a cheerleader for the president for the last four and a half years.
- [09:50]
A
And has there been any effort to reach out, you know, Brian Kemp, a lot of the Trump base nationwide, I think they've expressed it here on the show and in emails. They're frustrated with Kemp on different things. But Kemp, as I understand it, has been very popular within the state of Georgia. And while he can't run again, is there an effort underway or is there any attempt at a rapprochement between Trump, MAGA and Brian Kemp just for the purposes of making sure that we don't lose a third winnable and really should win Senate seat in the state of Georgia, because it's starting to feel like we got a problem in your home state?
- [10:32]
C
Yeah, well, you thought there would be some Kumbaya after 2024, and it seemed like Kemp got on board. He went on an appearance on Fox News saying he supported the president. But I think it's kind of been this consistent cold war with the governor and the president since then. And you saw this when he decided not to take a run at the Senate in that GOP seat and instead he endorsed Eric Dooley, which I don't think was something that the White House looked fondly upon when he did it. So I'm not sure if it's a total Kumbaya moment quite yet going into 2026, which might need to happen here if the GOP wants to secure the sea in general so it's a matter of time to watch how it goes. I think that people probably need to keep an eye on Governor Kemp for higher aspirations of offices in 2028. We'll see there. But I think that's a strategic move by Kemp on purpose. And it seems like in the state there's big players like the Brian Kemp's, you know, Mike Collins, Buddy Carter's, Derek Dually's, and then even in the governor's race where you're seeing a lot of changing dynamics and the one name that's not there is of course Stacey Abrams anymore. So it's really this inner party war that's happening within the party right now, I'd say.
- [11:36]
B
Yeah, I know a little bit about this, Ashley. Brian Kemp obviously is a wildly popular governor in Georgia, has done a really good job. He believes Derek Dooley is the best pick and he had tried to persuade the Trump White House to also endorse Dooley. Instead, they have so far stayed out of this primary, which is about two months away. And hopefully we can wed the turnout, the vote of Brian Kemp with the passion of Trump supporters, because that might be a hundred it's 100% necessary, I think, to actually manage to win the Senate race. One question for you, Ashley, on the way out, because I know you're a former athlete, if I remember correctly, as we were talking to you, the Iranian women's soccer team, I think the story deserves way more attention than it's getting. A lot of the girls women on that team refused to sing the Iranian national anthem at an event competition in Australia. Six or seven different reports of those members of that team did not want to go back to Iran afterwards because they were terrified of what might happen to them. So Australia granted asylum to them. They have landed in Malaysia. And reports are that most of the women on the team do not want to continue on to Iran because they are terrified of what is going to happen to them when they land. We have a lot of examples of people like Megan Rapinoe, as you well know, Ashley, speaking out aggressively against the United States. Why do you think so many women's athletes that are quick to degrade the United States from soccer in particular, are not speaking out to protect these women that actually put their lives legitimately on the line to speak for freedom in their home country? Feels to me like this story should be way bigger than it is.
- [13:22]
C
Right. Well, it seems to only matter to people like Megan Rapinoe when she's not getting paid enough. In her book is my the way I Look at this. And of course, she's getting on, you know, this cover of Sports Illustrated and magazines like that. But she doesn't care about the global issues like the what these women on the Iranian soccer team are now facing. So I think that's just, you know, first world problems for Megan Rapinoe really not paying attention to this. But it is sad to see women, you know, especially women that are well known like Serena Williams, they haven't speaking spoken out on even, you know, men and women's sports. In fact, they've been more supportive of it, if anything. So I think that's the progressive agenda here being seen playing out within sports. And I think that even in places like Iran, where, yeah, you've seen Kini be, you know, taken out by the United States and Israel, now we have this son taking, you know, his spot in leadership at this point. I think that's going to be a problem for these women going back to the country. And luckily, you know, Australia has granted them a place to stay. But I would be also fearful if I were them. I mean, Iran is not a place that's safe for women. And it's, I think it's interesting that they even have a women's soccer team that they've even been granting that in a place like Iran.
- [14:27]
B
No doubt. I mean, they didn't allow him to even go watch soccer games for multiple generations since the, the Mullis came into power. Hey, we appreciate you, Ashley. Keep up the good work. That battlefield in Georgia is going to be significant when it comes to control of the Senate. And we appreciate the update.
- [14:44]
C
Yeah, thank you guys.
- [14:46]

That's Ashley Brassfield. I want to tell you, born on America's darkest day of 91125 years ago. Tunnel the Towers foundation has been helping America's heroes ever since. Heroes like New York city Fire Department Lt. Edward McDonough Jr. He was a Marine Corps veteran. Lifelong public servant, Edward was on the front lines at ground zero. In the days following 9 11, he cleared debris while serving his city with courage and dedication rose through the ranks of the New York City Fire Department, ultimately becoming a lieutenant and inspiring those around him with leadership and humor. He battled 911 related cancer for more than three years before passing away. He leaves behind his wife Kimberly, their five children. In this 25th anniversary year of 9 11, we continue to see the toll that day is still taking on heroes and their families. Tunnel the Towers honored Edward by paying the McDonough family's mortgage. Help more families like the McDonough's. Your dormit donation Today can provide hope and stability to those who gave everything in service to our communities.

A
We have some very interesting things to talk to you about, including the latest on this on the Save America Act. The Save America act gonna save it. Gonna save America with the act. But first off, also just a quick one here. The economy, CNBC's Rick Santelli Core inflation. Let's talk about this for a second. Cut one, hit it. If we strip out food and energy and come up with the core expected up 2 10. That's exactly where it comes out, up 2 10. Here we go with the year over year numbers and zero progress but not losing any ground. It remains a 2.4 on year over year headline. 2.4 really is to find a lower number, you're going back to April of last year at 2.3. To find a higher number here at December of last year, 2.7. Just to give you some context there. Now in my opinion, the most important number year over year core remains at 2.5%. The economy is, is moving along well. It's not ever going to make everyone happy, but trust me, you'd be hearing a lot more negativity if inflation was still kicking up at 4 or 5, 6% etc. Things are actually in pretty good shape.
- [17:19]
B
What matters is growth rate minus inflation. Inflation is not going up despite what everybody told and the overall performance of the economy is strong, becoming stronger. And so we'll continue to update you on that. We are scheduled to talk with Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama. He's running for governor as well. About the latest on the Save America act and more. We'll see if we can get him or not. Obviously he's a busy guy and we had him scheduled a little bit earlier so we will see if we've got him. But we are scheduled to have him when we come out of this next break. And you know what? The truth is, Buck, I hate to admit this, I'm in danger of no longer being the strongest guy in my household. My 15 year old, he is lifting like crazy. I catch him in the gym all the time and he's starting to bench press some decent amounts of weight. I actually told my wife last night, I was like, I got to hold this kid off. I can't. I've got to stay the strongest Travis male in the household for as long as I can. And if you're battling to remain the strongest man in your household, you got young boys coming up you might want to check out chalk all natural formatted to make sure that your testosterone stays as strong as possible.

This is good at producer Ali mogworthy chalk.com chalk choq.com My name clay free 99 bag of lit powder with the best deal on new subscriptions. That's chalk.com code clay. We are joined now by Senator Tommy Tuberville, the next governor of Alabama. We'll get into a bunch of things with him. But let's go ahead and start with this, senator, because everybody, every day we get asked about the Save America Act. I know you've been in meetings all day on Capitol Hill. People are fired up about the fact that this is not necessarily going to be coming up on the floor. What's the latest and what would you tell our audience to do if they're fired up about this, as most of them are?
- [19:38]
D
Yeah, call your congressman, call your senator. Let everybody know what you feel about the Save America act because it is exactly what it, what it, what it means. We have to save America by making sure our voting is true and effective. You know, when I'm in Alabama, Clay, people ask me, coach, is my vote don't count or is it just a false sense of security? And we want to make sure that people across the country know that their vote counts. Now, we have 15 states in this, in the United States of America that are totally crooked. All the blue states, they want to make sure that they get elected, they elect their officials. But we have to give us some kind of opportunity to make these things as fair as possible because we have no chance. And if we continue to lose to blue states, eventually we're going to lose the White House and they are going to open the border up again. No law and order, give money away right and left, steal from the country, steal from the taxpayers and the country that you and I know will be over with.
- [20:45]
A
Let me ask you, Senator Trebevlitzbach, thanks for being here. Why not get rid of the filibuster if this is really about saving America? Because it feels like this is the game that we end up having to play. United States senators want to do something on the Republican side, But we need 60 votes. We need 60. That's not a constitutional mandate. That's just a self imposed restriction from the Senate. If it is saving America, then why not at least have the discussion about whether this is the time to do that? Because otherwise, aren't we just hoping for a filibuster, a standing filibuster at best?
- [21:19]
D
Well, first of all, you're exactly right. And when the Democrats take over, they're going to do away with the filibuster immediately. So we have talked about 25 or 30 of us have talked to were blue in our face to our colleagues who keep saying, oh, it's about tradition of the Senate. And I tell them, listen, I don't work for the Senate. I work for the people of this country and the people of Alabama. And it's time to understand this country has changed. We are not the same republic that we used to be. We have. The enemy is inside the gates. They are changing our culture, our moral values, changing our religions, just overtaken everything that we're doing. And so now is the time. Don't panic. Let's just bust a filibuster and vote everything in we possibly can under the best president we've ever had and get this country back where it's going again. And do not let them cheat on us in elections again.
- [22:15]
B
Senator Somerville, the other big question we're getting is about how to wind down the war in Iran. And I'm sure you're hearing from some of your constituents. Price of oil and gas a major concern. I know Alabama, like Tennessee, fortunately, still has very low gas prices compared to much of the country. But you may have already talked about this with President Trump. If the president asked for your advice on how to handle the wind down in Iran, what would you tell him?
- [22:44]
D
Well, first of all, he asked me about three or four weeks ago, what do you think, Coach, about? About Iran? I said, well, we've got him as weak he's ever been. They're killing their own people. They have a radical group of people running that government. If we're ever going to make sure that the Middle east is safe to take out all these terrorist groups all across the Middle east and in our country, now, now's the time to do it. And thank goodness, I truly believe it was the right thing to do. We'll never have this opportunity again. Now, this doesn't need to be one of those forever wars, and it won't be. He's going to do what he needs to do and it's going to be over with. And you know, he said Four weeks, five weeks. I don't want to put a time limit on it. Let's do the job right and then get out and turn it over to the people in the Middle east where they can. Whether they got Khomeini's son or whatever, they're going to be so weak that they'll get help from the outside and hopefully turn this thing around. But this is the only way we could do it, guys. We couldn't sit back and let them get a nuclear weapon in the future because it's not like some of these other countries that have nuclear weapons. They have a lot more sense than this. These people live off of death. They preach death. They preach death to America. And we were going to get lit up Israel or somebody was going to get lit up with a nuke if we allowed them to get a nuclear weapon.
- [24:09]
A
Speaking of Senator Tuberville, Senator, so you have, I assume, full faith in President Trump, Secretary of War Hegseth, the immediate team in the White House, Secretary Rubio, to make sure that they know when it's time to bring our, our assets home from overseas or at least to stop the bombing. That's something that you have a high level of confidence in, you'd say 100%.
- [24:34]
D
And I've been in classified hearings, I've been in non classified. I talk to them individually quite often, even the President. And this is not one of those where we're going in to try to build back their country, that we might give them help in some ways to some point. But again, this is not a prolonged fight. We cannot afford to do it. I heard you talk earlier about gas prices, folks. If we can't live a few weeks with higher gas prices to be able to take out one of the most dangerous groups of in the world that want to destroy the United States of America, then something's wrong with us. We have to put up with some high gas prices. But let me tell you this. I was coaching at Texas tech back in 2010, 11, 12, 13, okay? Every year I coach there. I lived right in the middle of the heart of oil company country in the United States of America. Lubbock, Texas oil under Barack Obama was over $110 a barrel the entire time we were there. Nobody complained about it. We're paying $3, $4 a gallon and nobody really complains. Under Barack Obama. Now, couple of weeks, we have a little bit of a high gas price and everybody's panicking. It's not going to happen. This will help not just gas prices go down, but it'll also help us put Chinese to where they should be. And that is a maybe a bigger problem than Iran.
- [25:59]
B
We're talking to Senator Tommy Tuberville, next governor of Alabama. But in the meantime, Senator from Alabama, you had to feel like your worlds were colliding. You just mentioned when you were coaching at Texas Tech. I was up in the White House Friday. Urban Meyer's there. Nick Saban is there. You've got a lot of people talking about the future of college athletics. You know this better than anybody. I just saw Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut chirping at you on the Internet, on social media. What should happen, what's going to happen when it comes to fixing college athletics?
- [26:34]
D
Well, Chris Murphy's for tearing down college athletics. He's trying to unionize that. That's the worst thing we could do. But at the end of the day, he's not even, he's not relevant in this, in this talk. That was a good talk last Friday. I didn't go. I had other things I had, I had to do. But I've had a bill. Y' all known this for three years. I've put together a bill which was really good, but it's all about unionization with the Democrats. We can't get a bill passed. Okay, so, so we're basically talking into the wind when this happens. Only person that can do anything to this is, is Donald Trump. And I've talked to him about this. I'm not into all this antitrust stuff. You know, the commissioners were there. They need more money, this or that, and, and that's fine, but you can't get that passed. Let's talk about reality. Here's what President Trump can do. An executive order for the rest of his term. Okay, folks, you got, when you start your clock in college sports, you got five to play five. That's it. Nobody goes over that. Second thing is you get one transfer, one free transfer without penalty. Now you can transfer again, but you have to go back to the old rule. You transfer, you set a year. We've got to do something about the transfer portal. The money is out of the back. I don't care what kind of money they make because eventually what's going to happen, there's going to be donor fatigue. It can't keep spending this kind of money. You can't do it. And so we've got to get the transfer portal back, put education back into it, get your butt back in class. You're going to make money, that's fine. But you're going to go to class, you're going to keep your grade point up like you used to have to. And if you don't fulfill that requirement of going towards a degree every year in school, then you're going to end up losing your scholarship and you're going to end up losing eligibility. Right now there is no penalty for doing anything other than just going, making money and playing. And what's happening is we're losing fans. And fans are the reason college sports are important because they pay money to go watch these. And they, I'm telling you, they're getting, they're getting fatigued from all this because of non loyalty of the athletes.
- [28:41]
B
Last question for you. And this just came down. You probably knew it was coming. Mark Wayne Mullen, one of your Senate colleagues, is going to have his confirmation hearings to be elevated to run the dhs. What can you tell us about Mark Wayne? And do you presume that those will go fairly smoothly and not only will he get Republican support, but he'll even get, I know Fetterman has already said, hey, I'll be supporting this. He'll even be getting some, I would imagine, Democrat support.
- [29:09]
D
Yeah, perfect choice he'd made. He'd make a great head football coach back in the 70s and 80s. Walking in the room, demand respect, motivate people to do their job. Work ethic is unbelievable. Understands this country, loves this country and he is for America first, not illegal immigration. And so he's going to be perfect and he's going to get quite a few Democrat votes. So he will get, he will get pushed through nomination next week. That probably might be his, his toughest is getting out of committee. Once he gets out of committee, he'll, he'll have plenty of votes to get in. We need somebody hard nose, an offensive line coach, basically go in and say, okay, we're going to put our nose to the grindstone here and we're going to grind and we're going to get this job done. I don't care about being on TV or doing any of that fancy stuff. We're going to be successful in immigration.

If you walk around the Sexton household these days, you'll see a lot of toys on the ground for Ginger and Speed. And they're always fighting over whose toys they are, which is fun. But you'd think maybe Cozy Earth just sponsors our whole house because I walk around in Cozy Earth pants I got Cozy Earth sweatshirts on. We've got Cozy Earth sheets on the bed. I've got a cozy, Cozy Earth blanket, the bubble blanket on the couch. The products they have are just phenomenal. So they're all over our house. I'm talking clothing, bedding, towels, all kinds of stuff. Cozy Earth sheets, towels and bedding are a great place to start. But once you get those and you have that quality, you're probably gonna add maybe even into your first basket when you're buying online. Even more because the products are just so comfortable, so soft. And look, your product is rather, your purchase is totally risk free. You get a 100 day money back guarantee when you get sheets and bedding sets from Cozy Earth in addition to a 10 year warranty. So my recommendation, do what I did. Clay has them too. He's got a lot of rooms in his house, so a lot of sets of cozier sheets. You've just got to go get those sheets. Get a towel set as well. You'll try those out and then you're

B
He has pushed away the mic from Buck right now. But if you go, you can hear a baby. If you are in the mood for baby fun. If you want to see a super cute. What is he, 10 months old now? Ish.
- [32:11]
A
Almost 11.
- [32:12]
B
Almost 11 months old.
- [32:13]
A
11 months old today. I'm sorry, 11 months old today. That's right.

No Doubt it will be. It'll be interesting to follow and you will enjoy it. We need to talk about this tomorrow, Buck. Cause you mentioned it to me and I know we haven't talked about it a great deal. By the way, President Trump speaking at a Ohio pharmaceutical company in Cincinnati right now as he is on the ground in Cincinnati. But Buck, we were talking about this continued fleeing of the west coast by super rich people as property taxes and, and income tax and billionaire taxes and everything else continues to skyrocket. The latest to move to Miami, Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks who started his company out in Seattle probably alongside of Microsoft, I would say Boeing, maybe the two or three biggest, most iconic brands in Seattle. He's bailing on the state as they are now going to be taxing wealthy people at much higher rates in the state. And he's going to Florida also, Buck. They relocated a ton of their employees to Nashville. They're opening a brand new corporate office in Nashville with thousands of people employed there. So Tennessee and Florida to no state income tax states. More and more people every single day deciding that they want to abandon high tax blue states for low tax, well regulated, well run red states.
- [34:15]
A
Yeah, that couldn't be more clear. But I also find that there is some deserved frustration at what I think is an obvious hypocrisy here of people who support policies in blue states and then continue to support them. It's one, it's one thing if you're a convert, if you want to go, if you want to go full elon and be like the left is insane. I get it now, fine, welcome to the family. But people who want to still be giant libs, Seattle style libs and move to Florida so they can enjoy our Floridaness or move to Tennessee to enjoy your Tennessee ness and not admit that our way is better, that these states are better. That's the thing that you know, there should be a mea culpa before they hop on the private jet and come down to the because they've helped fund, I mean look at, look at like Steve Jobs or Steve Jobs widow. Also what's Amazon's ex wife, you know

B
Amazon Bezos, Warren Powell Jobs. If I'm not mistaken, these women are

using other men's money or the money made by men to fund the destruction of western civilization. It's not a good thing. K on the talkbacks is a nice one. Michael who's a trucker in Arizona. Play it.
