Hour two kicks off now. Lines are open. 800-282-2882. As long as you don't tell me to get a haircut, we'll be happy to hear from you. I know those of you on the stream. It's time. The woolly mammoth is running free on top of my head. It is time, but we, we will talk here about anything we've hit today on the show. Also, Russia, Ukraine stuff. You want to weigh in on that, please let us know. The talk Back feature on the app is fantastic. First off, you need the I Heart app. I was walking around. I do, you know, one thing that I'll say as I try not to be, be preachy about the fitness journey that I've gone on because, you know, different people, different times, you know, I wasn't. It's funny, people say, have you gotten all new clothing? And I said, no, I just wear the clothing I used to wear. You know, I got married. I got a little, little, little setting my ways, eating a little too much ice cream. And I got, I injured my knee. And, you know, next thing you know, you're up 30, 35 pounds. It can happen. And it took a year. In one year, I gained 30, 35 pounds. In six months, I've taken it all off. But whether you're trying to lose weight or anything else, I'll just say this walking is amazing. And, and I, I know that sounds like the most obvious thing anybody said it probably long. It's like breathing is good. No, but really, walking should be a daily habit. And I don't mean the use of your Feet to get to where you have to go for work or whatever. I mean, take 20 to 30 minutes a day. Just start with that. And here's the thing. I think if you want to listen to a book on tape, I'm fine with that. Or a podcast like the Clay and Buck show, I'm fine with that. Right. But people walk. They're checking their phones all the time. That's, that kind of takes you out of it. And I mean, I now care. And I walked yesterday for, we just took a walk for an hour and we've already talked about how when the baby comes, our plan and I know we're not going to have any sleep. We're going to be exhausted. Thank you for all this. Thank you for prepping us for that. Trust me, we've, we've been told now by many people you're going to miss getting a good night's sleep. We get it. We're very excited for a little, little baby to be coming here. Baby, Baby James, his name is going to be James. Going to be getting that going soon. But on the side of just walking, I'm telling you, and there's actually a, there's a fitness influencer named Michael Smoke who is great on the higher up. Wellness is his handle. He's always promoting walking. And you know, I've met Michael. He's a really interesting, really good guy. Fantastic in the space of wellness and mentality and everything. And I remember I'd watch these videos where he'd say, you should go walk. And I said, come on, man, of course I'm walking. Well, no, actually I got a step counter and I thought I was walking and I was doing like 2500 steps a day. That's nothing. And not only is it about your health and fitness, but I think that it's something that any, first of all, anyone can, I mean, assuming, you know, you're able bodied people can walk. It's not telling someone to go run six miles a day. It's not telling someone to start deadlifting or something else, you know, something you were all doing, but making time for it. And I also find, you know, actually DJ Shipley, who I'm going to be training with this weekend, is a former Seal Team 6 operator. I'm going to be going up and training with him. Really looking forward to it. My two brothers are coming. He's also a proponent of walking. I saw a video clip of him. He says, you know, go, go out with your wife, walk 20 minutes, no distractions, just with your wife. Just be Together, talk, whatever, be together. Brilliant. It's so true. And I just think that it's something that sometimes the simple things can make such a really big difference. I mean, now I did like 12,000 steps yesterday. I'm trying to get over 10,000, sometimes over 12,000 a day. There's the fitness component of it, but there's also just the. I think it's good for your mental health, I think it's good for your body. I think it's good for if you can go with a spouse or with a loved one or a friend. I try to take calls now for work as much as I can moving. So I don't love zoom calls. But anyway, I try to take if there's anything I can give you from this week. And I know again, it's so, it's such an obvious thing and that's why I credited higher wellness and I, and I sent him a message saying thank you for this, that when you watch people, when someone says, hey, make walking more of a daily habit, your reaction is, I already do. Well, do you though, really? You know, I didn't. Maybe you do, but I'm telling you, and even if it means you have to get in the car and go somewhere that you want to walk, I know some of you are probably, you know, in areas where there's not a lot of walkability. Find the nearest place, go do it. It's. I have. That's the best thing that I've changed over the last six months, other than some of the nutrition and, and weightlifting stuff I've been doing is just, just walking and every day, every day go for a walk and you know, anyway, sorry, end of speech. But I hope that's something that may be helpful for many of you and I, I guarantee you, some of you going to email me and say, why are you wasting your time with this? Talk more about trade deficits. Okay, I'm about to. But some of you will listen to me and, and you will in three months or six months or whenever you'll write into the show or you'll call into the show and you'll say, you know what, you're right. My wife and I started, my husband, I started going for just 30 minute walk every day. We could. You're busy. Stuff happens. Yeah, it's about when you can, but it's about trying to make time for it. And we're more, we're present with each other, we sleep better at night because you know, your body is in this rhythm. I'm telling you that, that's the one. One little free bit of advice on the show this week. I hope some of you take it. The rest of you can make fun of me and say that, you know, you're running super ultra marathons. You don't need anyone telling you about walking. Some of you are going to have a great six month arc on this one and you're going to say, wow, you're really right. So throwing that out there for you. On the other side of things, Democrats see, I told you I was weaving and now I'm back. The other side of things, you got Democrats who realize they got to start to win people over. And Alyssa Slotkin is a Michigan congresswoman and she is the one who gave the, what is it, the response to the joint address to Congress. And you know, she's out there telling everybody, if you want to know what's going on, just understand that the way to win is to insult Trump voters. Play Clip 10 I think there's a feeling in the country, and I often say this, you know, we're, we're about to turn 250 years old, right? We're still pretty young for a country. These are our, like, our angry teenage years, right? We are going through this push and pull where we're happy, we're sad, we want this, we want that. And what do you do when you have a teenager who's threatening themselves and others? You just try to get them through this period alive so that their brain can fully form and you can come back to kind of what, what country? Trump. No, I'm talking about our pendulum swinging. And so for me, I think that this, I don't think there's a single American who feels like this is normal. Yeah, that's so petulant teenager. If you voted for Trump, it's America being not normal. I thought this was an interesting juxtaposition to take. First of all, in my time in government, I missed Ms. Slotkin by a few cubicles and a few months. So we did not, I did not meet, meet her or work with her, but she was in government in the national security side when I was in government in the national security side. And I had friends who worked extensively with her and I will just keep their assessments to myself off the air. But anyway, here is the truth. She's saying that America is acting like a petulant teenager because we elected Donald Trump, as if that there's something irrational about that. This is the rejection of what is clearly happening in the country, which is more and more people waking up to the Clear fact that. That it is Democrats. I know this is like, you know, they say it's our fault, we say it's their fault. But no, no, in this one, it's pretty clear which side of the political aisle is in some kind of a delusion. So. Representative Keith Self, yesterday, in some hearing in Congress, there's a lot of these congressional hearings referred to Representative McBride, Tim McBride, as congressman. Now, before you hear the audio, here's the thing. Representative McBride is a biological male with male genitalia and XY chromosomes and is a man. Now, Representative McBride has grown his hair out long and is. I don't know, maybe doing. I don't know about the hormones or whatever, but, you know, identifies as female. Now. Identifies as female. Well, this is the United States government we're talking about. This is a congressional hearing, and we call men Congressman and woman. Congress. Woman. And Keith Self. Representative. Self. Decided that he was not going to play the game anymore. And this is how it went. This is 11. Play it as the representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride. Thank you, Madam Chair. Ranking Member Keating also. Wonderful. Mr. Chairman, could you repeat your introduction again, please? Yes, it's. It's a. We have set the standard on the floor of the House, and I'm simply. What is that standard? Mr. Chairman, would you repeat what you just said? You introduced a duly elected representative from the United States of America. Please. I will. The representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride. Mr. Chairman, you are out of order. Mr. Chairman, have you no decency? I mean, I've come to know you a little bit, but this is not decent. We will continue this. You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way. This hearing is adjourned. Let's just note this. A member of Congress demanding in a hearing that a number. Another member of Congress, pretend that a man in the room with them is a woman, or else he throws a fit. This is. This issue is not gone. This issue is not some fringe thing. This is the United States Congress. This is the legislative body. This is. And they actually want to play this game. They want to. They. They demand. They're absolutely serious about this. As you know, they have not backed away from this in any ideological sense. There may be a strategic or a tactical retreat with people like Gavin Newsom. He's like, hey, maybe it's an issue of fairness. You know, I. I gotta tell you, I see what Gavin Newsom is doing. I know that Steve Bannon's gonna go on his show, and Bannon, who's a brawler, is just Gonna. Is just gonna, you know, verbally rough him up the whole time. You know, I know, I know how Steve's gonna roll with that. He's gonna, he's gonna just pummel him. But here's the problem. Newsom wants to be pummeled by the right wing right now, and he wants to sit there and take the slings and arrows from the right on his new podcast because he's trying to present himself as an alternative to the crazy Democrats. And this is he. He knows that he can always turn around to the left because Gavin Newsom excels at speaking out of both sides of his mouth. And he'll say, look, guys, you know, I'm, you know, I'm still all about the LGBTQIA plus, plus, minus, minus, plus, you. You know where my heart is, but, you know, I gotta fool the idiots in the Midwest to vote for me for president. You know, that's the game he's playing. So I don't know. I don't know if we really, we should continue to. Because his arguments, it's not like he has any. He's sitting there and he's going to get. He's going to play the. Oh, I'm just so reasonable. I'm just being reasonable. Yeah, you're right. There's been some excesses on my side as part of the creation of a new brand for himself so that he can become the leader of the Democrat party going into 28, be their nominee, win all pretending. And then as soon as he gets in, look what they did with Biden. The whole game with Biden, other than pretending he didn't have dementia, was, hey, this guy, he's been in politics so long. Good old Joe, his Irish charm, he's a devout Catholic. Devout Catholic, really? An abortion extremist in policy his entire career, who wants trans kids to be getting surgery without their parents knowing as a function of White House policy. He's. Oh, he's a, He's a devout Catholic and he's good old Joe from Scranton, you know, riding the choo choo to work. The whole thing was a scam. The whole thing was a scam. And now everyone knows that. So they're. I'm just saying they're preparing with Newsom, they're preparing this scam. And I know I've. I've digressed a little bit from the Sarah McBride. I'm sorry, now it's Tim McBride is Sarah McBride. So I didn't even know. I rather, I was just reading off the sheet here. That's considered dead naming that used to get you kicked off of social media to refer to a person's previous name. Tim. Tim can be Sarah. I, I if he says, hey, you got to call me Sarah, that's my name. You know, fine, you can change your name. You can ask to be called something. You know, I don't think you can ask to be called like superhero, genius, Jesus Christ Superstar or something. There are limits to this. But if you want to change your name to Sarah, you can change your name to Sarah, but you can't change your gender as much or you can't change your sex or whatever, whatever sophistry they want to present on this and good for representative self. It is not disrespectful to call a man a man. It is living in reality. And some people just don't want to play this. A lot of us don't want to play this game anymore. Democrats, you'll notice, have not given it up. Have not given it up. And they don't plan to. What does that tell you about the mindset? What does that tell you about where their parties going? All right, let's talk about sports for a minute here. Clay will be back on Monday with all the sports expertise, but you don't have to wait until Monday to get Prize Picks.

Some of you are pointing out to me, and I. I knew this, but I didn't focus on it right away. In the upcoming Bannon Newsome, sit down for the Newsom podcast. Look, he's. Newsome's very slick. You know, he owns those vineyards. He's got that shirt buttoned way down. Where's Clay when I need him? He's got that shirt buttoned way down. Just stares into the camera. He apparently funded a bust of himself. I saw this recently, I think. Was it Breitbart? Somebody broke the story on this that he quietly used some NGO to fund a bust of Gab. I'm just going to tell you, anybody who chooses to quietly fund a bust of themself, I mean, unless your name is Winston Churchill, and even then, when he was alive. That's a little bit much. That's a little bit much, But I should have known. The libs are, of course, completely freaking out. Bannon, to them is like Voldemort. Bannon terrifies them. I mean, I get it. You know, he's, like I said, he's. He's a brawler on our side. He's not messing around. He's not taking prisoners. Uh, but it's kind of funny that he's going to be sitting down with Gavin Newsom, and you got people like Kinzinger, who. I just feel like he was probably crying when he wrote this. He tweeted out, oh, and he has Slava Ukrainian in his. He actually has that. He actually has Slava Ukrainian. His Twitter bio with Ukraine flag, of course, as one does, American flag, Ukraine flag. Anyway, this is not about learning about other people. This is platforming, authoritarianism. Oh, man, that's so funny. They're all. They're all getting upset that Newsom's going to sit down with Bannon. So, look, it's. It's brilliant marketing. I give. I give. That's. Gavin Newsom is not. Is not dumb. He's not smart on policy, but he's not a dumb guy. And his team, I'm sure, understands marketing very well. A very Holly, very Hollywood savvy. And so having Bannon on, obviously, is going to get attention. It'll be a pretty interesting conversation. I think I can just assume that it's going to be more of what we've already seen. Which is Gavin Newsom saying California is awesome, which it is. And Bannon saying California is horribly governed and you've made a mess of everything. Which is true, right? Two things can be true at once. California can be God's country in so many ways. Beautiful, rich, with natural resources and beauty and a lot of great people and every, you know, and it can also be run by idiot communists. So, you know, that's the, that's the deal.

Open 800-282-2882. Something interesting is going on here. Troubling and interesting. They are really ramping up the hatred of Elon Musk. You're noticing this, right? They've decided and when I say them, the media, sure, but the left also, it seems these days, maybe some of them have exhausted themselves with anti Trump derangement. Because I do think we're entering a phase where we're going to have to coin the phrase Elon Derangement Syndrome. I think we're there. It's already, it's already happening now. It's not as widespread as Trump. It does not have quite the same Trump derangement, doesn't have quite the same virality. Long standing studies on Trump derangement have been done and as we saw in this last election, people have learned a lot. But Elon Derangement syndrome is growing rapidly and it is concerning if only Dr. Fauci was here to tell you to mask up to avoid Elon derangement syndrome. But the droplets carrying Elon syndrome all over the place. With his silly T shirt saying tech support and his electric vehicles, Elon, let's remember, was something of a. I don't know if darling of the left is quite the right way to put it, but he has done more as an entrepreneur for climate change, whether you believe that's a problem or not. I believe climate change is real. I do not believe it's a problem. So that's a whole other thing. Or rather, I'm quite certain it's not a problem, but put that aside. But Elon, with not just the cars that the electric cars, you see, he's made electric cars cool. I saw our friend Sean Hannity just bought a Tesla plaid and Elon gave him a high five on X over that. Yeah, that, that car will smoke in a, in a, what do you call it, a drag race. Like any hot rod you can find. Those cars are crazy fast. Electric cars that, that Tesla makes are way faster than a lot of people realize because they don't use pistons. The electric motor goes right away. I mean, it kind of creates like a G force, like you're in a jet fighter if you hit the accelerator too hard or, you know, a fighter jet. So what Elon has done, though, with the technologies as well of electric cars, batteries, and he's still going, right? Elon is. Elon's got decades left to do the things that he is doing. We're just seeing really, you know, maybe the middle phase of Elon's professional contributions. But this hatred of Elon Musk is nuts. It is nuts. And the stuff that he is doing, remember this is a former, he goes into this fascinating category of red pilled former Democrats. They created this politically minded Elon. It's their fault. That's what the left needs to understand. They did this. He just wanted to, he just wanted to build his rockets and his, you know, his cars and the boring tunnels under the ground and, you know, you got SpaceX, you got Starlink. I mean, it's incredible. Xai, all these different things. He wanted to do that. And the Democrats were like, no, we're insane and we're going to push the indoctrination stuff so hard on the trans issue that one of Elon's kids, he said this. I'm not, I'm not establishing this motive for him. He said that he became red pilled when they transed his kid when one of his sons was. Was transed by, you know, all the. All the therapists and the doctors in the whole system. And he just realized, oh, my gosh, what is the. What does the left become? What does the Democrat Party become? And now they. They despise him. And I mentioned this yesterday. They're lighting Tesla's on fire, which is so crazy that it's. This is the richest guy in the world. So you're going to. You're going to burn someone else's car because it was made by a company that Elon Musk owns, and you think that that's going. What is that going to do? Like, how is this. It's as. It's crazy as during the BLM riots when they would go in and destroy some local convenience store and loot it, say, yeah, this is. This is for Black Lives Matter. It's like, no, it's not. It's just you being a bad person. You know, a lot of people during the BLM riots were just being bad humans. Bad human beings. And anybody who is firebombing a Tesla or a Tesla dealership or all these things you've seen going on, they're being bad humans. But this is coming from the top. The hatred of Elon is coming from the top. Remember his mission? Elon isn't going around in a border Patrol jacket rounding up illegals and, you know, putting them on a little spacecraft to send them somewhere else. No, no, that would be interesting. Elon is focused on something that should be bipartisan. It should be a truly bipartisan thing to get rid of waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending. We. If you ask a Democrat, is the debt a problem? And you have them in a. In a forum where they can't just evade or escape, they'll say, oh, yeah, no, we. We. The debts. The debt's a problem. They'll generally. Not all of them, Some of them can't do basic math. They have no idea. I'm not going to name names. You can name the names. But there are some Democrats who, honestly, you want to talk numbers. They have IQs in, like, the 75 range, and they're still elected to office. Okay, fine. But everybody who's a serious person knows the debt is a problem. Elon is trying to find a way to start to deal with that, to truly finally begin to chip away at it. And it's a huge challenge for us. And it's something that everybody should be saying, thank you for what? Thank you for what you're doing. But instead, you've got you know, Colbert, now I know they're going to say, oh, it's just jokes. No, Colbert is a Democrat propagandist and he learned this, he learned this craft well from the much better version of it, which was the Jon Stewart, the Daily show back in its heyday. Not anymore. Trevor Noah ruined that show, even for Democrats. He's just not funny, you know. Yeah, let's just bring in this like, not funny guy from South Africa to take over the Daily show and lecture us about American politics. Like, that's a great idea. Whoever the executives were in charge of that should all have been fired a long time ago. But here you have Stephen Colbert on his supposed comedy show making a joke. But it's really more of a, it's really meant to be more of an attack. And it's meant to be telling the masses of idiots who still watch this thing. You are to hate Elon. Play 20. This downturn didn't start just yesterday because Tesla stock has plummeted 50% since December. And there's a good reason for that. It's a phenomenon economists call. Everybody hates that guy. Can I just point out you have a room full of people like trained seals, all clapping and all laughing at the decline now, by the way, I mean, I'm, I'm very, you know, I don't give like stock tips on the show. I'm just telling you, like, people who bet against Elon, I think they're, they're nuts. But anyway, they're cheering on the decline of a stock of a company that has done more for the issue of climate change than any other human being alive. Again, I don't think climate change is a. Elon does, though. So I just, you know, he's very smart guy. He. But he worries about it, I think in 100 or 500 year increments. And yeah, I don't know, maybe in 500 years it'll be a big problem. That's why he wants us to be interplanetary in our lifetime. Climate change is not a problem. It's just not right. You look at all the data, people are crazy. I don't want to get into it all now, but he has done more for that problem. So if you're somebody who thinks, as all Democrats who want to be in good standing with the party, it's an existential threat to our species, to our planet, you're going to cheer that a company that is doing more than any, than any Al Gore BS documentary, than any of these NGOs that are just slush funds. For lazy libs to be self aggrandizing and do nothing in the name of the green energy movement. Elon has done more than all of them and they're cheering for his company having a 50% decline in the stock over a period of time. Think, think about that, right? Think about the way that they're being trained. Yeah, he's bad. Hold on. I thought he was saving the planet. Libs 5 years ago Would have said, wow, Elon or the ones who are paying attention, Elon is saving the planet. He's a good guy. He called out Bill Gates publicly for, for being, you know, Bill Gates, which I'm just, you know, I'm not. I'll just say this. I'm not a fan, all right, at all. Not a fan at all in any, in any respect. I won't get into it. But you know, and I know a lot of your. You're shouting all this. I know, but I'm, I don't want to weave too much. I'm weaving back to the center here, to the Elon conversation. Because if you get me talking about Bill Gates and you know, yeah, everybody should eat bugs and look who I'm friends with and you know, don't even, don't even get me there. Bill Gates was shorting massively at one point the Tesla stock, so betting on it going down, which can drive the stock price down. And Elon called him out. He's like, how, how can you be running this huge global philanthropy about climate change and you're worth hundreds of, you know, hundred billion plus dollars. I don't know what Bill Gates, his net worth is now hundreds of billions. And you're trying to make more money by hurting the stock. That's doing more to, you know, Elon called him out for this publicly and he had him. I mean, it's just, he's just. Bill Gates is just a greedy little fraud on that issue. And the whole. Gates found. I know Gates found. See, I touched these issues and you all know and I so many ways. This is the thing people say, how do you do three hours of radio a day? Three hours. Clay and I could do three days at once. I mean, our voices would probably start to give out. But I'm not sure by day three, the show would be quite as good as the first day. I mean, continuously 24 hours. But yeah, there's so much to talk about. So the, the turning of the audience, though, into an anti. That Colbert is doing into an anti Elon chorus just shows you how disingenuous and Gross. These people are Scott Jennings doing, doing freedom and the Lord's work over at cnn. All, all, all credit for Scott doing what he does. It look, it's been great for his career. He's doing a fantastic job. I love, I love seeing good conservatives do well wherever they are. Right. Another important mantra, you know, or in the media business, you can always look at people and say, oh, you know, I think I should be doing that, or I think I'm a, you know, people get very vain and very jealous and whatever. I love seeing our people succeed. And that's why I love having. We had Scott on. I love talking about, oh, this guy's doing great stuff here, that guy or gal's doing great stuff there. Scott's doing great stuff over at cnn. And here he is just pointing out this whole, oh, can we trust Elon thing, which is another media narrative that is as if what, Elon's like a traitor. Oh, is he a Putin puppet? Remember he said Putin can't afford me. True. Is he a Putin puppet as well? Is, Is he a stooge of the Russia? Are we gonna try that game? They did and now they're, they've tried to insinuate, you know, ooh, he's, he can't be trusted. He, he only cares about his checkbook. And you can't have your Social Security number in front of Doge because here's Jennings dealing with that one. Play 19. Elon Musk currently holds a position of trust in our government. He is a top adviser of the president United States. And there's clearly a bunch of people out there who are targeting him and his products specifically. If that's not terrorism, I'm not sure what is. They are terrorizing people who bought it is politically motivated destruction and violence. So by definition, you're starting to get really close, right? If someone is an eco terrorist and they burn down a whole, you know, a whole car lot of SUVs, which they used to do stuff like this and now like everybody's got an suv, so. Oh, almost like fuel efficiency increases and there's more and more technological improvements that are decarbonizing the already existing carbon based infrastructure of our energy economy. That's already been happening. I like to point this out to people, okay? Things have gotten far more efficient and far cleaner on their own through technology. And it will continue to do so because of the efficiency that you get from that and because of the competitive markets that we have. It's not handing. You're not going to fight climate change by Giving Stacey Abrams. $2 billion. That's not going to do it, or whatever it is that her NGO was supposed to be doing. But the stuff, the anti elon stuff, just really shows you that no matter what the problem is, if someone, if Trump or somebody on behalf of Trump is trying to fix it, Democrats don't want that problem solved. They would. They would rather take their ball and go home with it, not let anyone else play. They, they don't want no wins. That's all that matters. Can't have any wins for Trump or his team, whatever the cost. Even if it's climate change, even if it's existential for our species. Takes you right into the mindset, doesn't it? Okay, this week, peace in Israel is fragile. Negotiations between Israel and Hamas continue. But there's not a day that goes by without some incident of violence. With all the situations heating up on the periphery of Israel, Syria up north and the slaughter of Christians, tensions are heightened. Our partner, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, continues to support those in Israel facing the lingering horrors of war and those who are in desperate need right now. This organization helps thousands of Israelis each week. Your ongoing monthly gift of $45 will provide critically needed aid to communities in the north and south parts of the country at a time when there's so much violence and turmoil.

Some people are saying maybe the worst. Some people not fans of Rosie O'Donnell out there. She has announced that she has moved to Ireland in the wake of the Trump election. Let's just have some fun with this one. Play 21 I'm here in Ireland and it's beautiful and warm. Not physically. It's actually quite cold. Moved here on January 15th. It's been pretty wonderful, I have to say. The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming. I'm very grateful in the process of getting my Irish citizenship as I have Irish grandparents and that's what's going on and that's where I've been and what I've been doing. And although I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that's what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12 year old child. And here we are. Wait, so did she, has she officially said that it's because of Trump? This is what we need. We need to know. We need to know, is it, did she move because Trump said because Trump won and, and everyone's assuming this flees us after Trump win. Won't return until it's ok. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Won't return until it's safe for all citizens. Okay. So yeah, it is, it's Trump. It's, it's clearly a Trump. You know, I don't know, Ireland's a nice place. I've never been so I can't speak to it that much. And I will spare you. I do not do a good Irish accent. I think a lot of people think they do, but they don't. But Ireland, it's a place I very much want to go, although from what I understand from friends and family who have spent a lot of time there and I am largely Irish by background, like 75%. Like, like a lot of Americans are. It's very left wing. They are. It's like the Cuba of Europe is what I am told, which is so disappointing. It is very, very left wing. I don't know. I don't mean Cuban American like here in south. I mean Cuba, Cuba, like under Castro. Very, very left wing. So yeah, that's, that's something. So Rosie O'Donnell will fit right in with that, I guess. But I think she's going to come back. I just think that there's a perfect opportunity here for Trump to put a little Vizier video. Rosie, the tariffs are going to be great. We're going to be in a great new place. You should come back to America. But no, he's probably happy she's going to stay in Ireland. One of the longest running feuds. I think that Trump has Trump and Rosie O'Donnell. Look, we're going to dive into the economy and some updates on immigration and much more coming up here in the third hour. So stick around because we are flying through on Clay and buck Today, Famous.
