And I've got a whole bunch of things I want to lay out for you. But Clay is giving me the hand signal because we have a special secret Clay and Buck show hand signals for breaking news. It better be breaking. It better not be about some guy's extension for coaching some league somewhere. What is this breaking news? Not that buck, but I do think this is fairly significant given how close the House majority and minority situation is. Representative Sheila Shurflis McCormick from Florida, a Democrat, has resigned from Congress. She was found guilty of violating more than 20 House ethics rules and faces, this is Bill Malugian's update, faces...

federal charges for stealing millions of dollars in FEMA money. So this is the third resignation from the House in the space of just a few days now. And this is a Democrat seat that is being relinquished. We'll see what else is if there's anybody else that's going to drop out. But I thought that was pretty significant because she had faced a lot of calls to resign. Republican congressman from South Florida has resigned and obviously Eric Swalwell. And one more thing before you dive in. We're waiting. We still don't know. JD Vance has not left. And we don't know if he's going to leave for Pakistan for these talks, whether or not that's going to happen. Let me tell you, if I'm JD Vance, you know what I'm saying? Can we do this via Zoom? Can I speak to the Iranian negotiators with a Zoom call? You know, I would do this. You just made fun of me for saying this is an awful plane flight to have to take all the way to Pakistan. I would be a load to get on that flight. There's a difference between, he's going to, he's flying on Air Force 2 or whatever. He's going to have a nice layout bed. It's going to be way fancier than any of us are going to be, you know, traveling to that part of the world. That said. I'd still rather do a Zoom from the comfort of my own home with these Iranian negotiators who are just going to be playing games. There's not going to be a deal, okay? Trump may say tomorrow we've reached a great deal, and then it will be we're doing a follow-up on the deal in six weeks, which is another way of saying what I've told you all along. It's going to be an agreement to talk more about what the agreement will be. And that is where this is heading. So I think that JD should make the case for this should be a Zoom. Because Islamabad, I'm going to tell you, Uber eats Islamabad, probably not great. I'd rather be in D.C. personally. I would agree with you that the food, I'm not, and we're going to make enemies today. First, New Jersey, now Pakistan. I am not sold that the food would be very good in Pakistan either. And I would not want to get on a flight for 12 or 13 hours, go negotiate for 21. Here's the other thing, Buck. I think you're right. I don't think we're going to get any actual resolution. And so we'll see what transpires, but that's the absolute latest there. I'll say Pakistani food, believe it or not, quite similar to what we think of as Indian food. which they would not want to hear, but... It is true. And Indian food is delicious. So it depends. You just want to get a certain quality of it. That said, I think that your options beyond that cuisine in Islamabad, probably not great. I think Lahore is supposed to be the most sophisticated city in Pakistan, most international. It's on the coast. So I think Lahore, you'd probably get some good stuff. But Islamabad, Islamabad is kind of the Albany of Pakistan.

And I love you, Albany, because we have a great station there, but it's not New York. You know, it's a New York City, I mean. It's not the, it's not the cosmopolitan capital. You just came, that was such a New Yorker move of you to just flying elbow Albany out of nowhere, just obliterated them. I'm going to move on to Kamala Harris here for a second. People in Albany just driving around, having a good day, and then Macho Man Randy Savage off the top rope just leg drops them, flying elbow. They're both the capitals. They're both the capitals. I'm just saying the capital of one, capital of the other. There you go. You're lucky. Your state is a rarity in that most states, wait, actually I don't know if it's most states. A lot of states, the main city is not the capital. Right. Clearly, that's the case. Yeah, everybody wants to come to Nashville, but I do understand that nobody wants to leave Manhattan for Albany. Like there is a lot of people that are not excited necessarily to be departing the center of the country. I've never been to Sacramento. I used to be a big fan of their basketball team, actually, back in the Chris Weber, Vladi DeVos. you know, Mike Bibby days. But when I used to watch the NBA, that team you'll well remember, Buck, was robbed by the officiated. Totally robbed. Yeah. Yeah, by L.A., by Los Angeles Lakers, and an official was totally bought off. The whole thing was a scam. You could tell watching it. It was a scam. It was obvious that it was actually one of those times you yelled, the reps are paid off, and they really were. But Sacramento is not one of the primary cities for California. Anyway, you guys all know this. You've got a lot of different states. This is the situation. So with that all said, let's not talk about. So J.D.'s heading to Islamabad, maybe. Don't you think, though, that the Zoom pitch would be they can do secure video, just so, you know, that's not a hard thing to do. They do this in intelligence world all the time. So don't you think a secure video would be the move here? I do think that... They're making JD go a long way to not come home with the prize. Nonetheless. All right, Kamala Harris. She's probably running. I'd give the very, very long odds that she's not at this point, which is sad for me. I don't know what I was thinking that day. I was just like, I was just trying to be feisty and Clay completely suckered me into this bet that, I mean, yeah, granted, I threw out the bad idea, but you jumped on that right away. You were like, this guy's in, this guy's in it. This guy's selling me Amazon for $5. Like, this is crazy. And so anyway, I'll take my lumps on this one. Kamala Harris here, though. How is she going to be the Democrat? And that's an interesting thing because you would talk about how incompetent as she is and how she's not a good politician. All true. But look at the rest of the field.

I still think Gavin Newsom is going to beat her, and that's really interesting to me because they're both California. They're kind of relying on the same donor base and the same. But here she is giving you a sense of, I think, where some of the Kamala Harris campaign should it happen because it is not 100% yet. It's like 99%. Here it is. Cut one. I think it's okay for us to be a bit transactional too. And to say, I'm going to get mine also. And so don't count on me to be a voter and be the backbone of the Democratic Party. He's talking about black women there as the backbone of the Democrat Party and saying, I'm all get mine addressing in the urban vernacular, if you will. Kamala Harris, the pandering and the transformation that Kamala Harris is going to engage in to being, how would you put it? to be. Kamala Harris is going to run in order to be the nominee, an identity-laden politics campaign, the likes of which you have never seen before. And she's going to argue to this audience of black women, as she is already starting to preview, we have always been treated unfairly. I am your voice. And she's going to say, if. I'm not selected. It is the Democrat Party turning their back on you, the backbone of the Democrat Party. And that is going to be her entire campaign in the primary. And Buck, I think it's going to work. And again, I don't think she's just going to run. I think she's going to win the nomination. And I don't think she's going to win the nomination in a way that makes her a likable candidate for the general election, but she is going to lean on identity politics as the reason why she's entitled to this nomination. She's going to argue. She's already started the argument. She's going to argue. You and I think it's ridiculous. You read the book. She's going to argue the reason she lost is because they threw her into an unwinnable situation after 107 days. Wait for this. Clip it. Producer Allie, save it because you guys are going to say, oh my God, Clay completely called this. She's going to say that she had to do what black women always have to do, pick up the mess that old white guys create. She's going to turn herself into an avatar for black women across America who are given difficult jobs because the leaders that gave them those jobs weren't up to the challenge.

And she's going to say, Joe Biden left me a mess, didn't give me time to clean it up. I only got 107 days. The idea that she wrote that book called 107 days is not a coincidence. And she's going to argue that she's the most qualified. Black women are the base of the Democrat Party. And she has to be the nominee or it's racist and sexist not to pick her. Now. I think it's going to be hard for Democrats to get past her. Here's how they do it. I don't think that you're on. I think that's a, what you're laying out is accurate. I think it's a given. I think there's no question. We already know if she gets far enough what the narrative will be. So you're correct. But I don't think that that's a, you're not out on a limb with that one. Okay. So I think that she will, that will be her argument. How do you rebut it? Okay. If the Democrat Party wants to self-select like they did for Bernie. when they took him out for Hillary, and like they did for everybody else, when they rigged everything for Biden, both in 20 and in 24, they need to find a minority candidate who can cut into Kamala Harris's appeal with black women. Is it Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? I don't know. I think it's the reason she's in a good spot is there is no other. black female candidate that is able to tap into the audience that she already has gained the loyalty of. So one, is there a way, does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez peel any of that away? Can Wes Moore? Cory Booker can't, like it's just never going to happen for him, but is there a minority candidate that can cut into her minority appeal? That's cut one for what they do. Two is Buck, and I keep hammering this, and I'm the only person in America who seems to say it, which primary states are first? If they make South Carolina and Georgia and Tennessee early up in the primary process, Kamala Harris is going to be the nominee. If they suddenly go back and say, we got to go back to New Hampshire and we got to go back to Iowa, it gives other people a chance to get their voices heard. But if they go to states with large black populations in the primary, Kamala Harris is going to be the nominee. I'm just telling you, you can think it's crazy. But a lot of people would have said it was crazy when in 2022, if you had said, hey, Donald Trump's going to win his best victory of all time. in 2024. I think she believes time is on her side. I've also got something else that I've got to say the reporting on this would indicate that Clay was on to something, which I hate to admit, but I cannot tell a lie. You see this stuff about Ron DeSantis? Mm-hmm. You said Supreme Court. I said I don't think he wants Supreme Court. I think he wants to stay in the game. The reporting right now. is, well, it's kind of both are right now in play in the sense that he either wants a top three cabinet job or, which would be War, Department of War, Department of Defense.

Secretary of State or maybe Treasury, some people. AG, that he's very interested in AG, according to this. Oh, no, Axios is saying he's not interested in AG. Oh, okay, I see this headline right now. Sorry, yes. Not interested in AG. That's what was surprising to me. Okay, yes. But is interested possibly in a Supreme Court opening. That I did not see. I thought that he would. So it's not that he wants that as the top choice, but apparently the reporting is that Ron DeSantis is open to the idea, which I will admit is a surprise to me. I thought he would want to be in the political game. No question, no, no fuss, no must. But turns out, at least if you believe this, and this doesn't, you can always. There's the things that the New York Times and Axis report where there's political advantage in lying and you have to be careful. But there's sometimes where they probably just want to report what they're finding because why not? Why not be, you know, there's no penalty for accuracy. That's what you have to remember with the corporate media. If there's no penalty for accuracy, sometimes they tell the truth. Yeah, and also if the reporting corresponds with some things that you or I have experienced, again, Ron DeSantis, and I say this favorably, is a law nerd. He loves reading Supreme Court opinions. He likes to analyze the law. I think I said this one week or two weeks ago. As the Samuel Alito talk, Clarence Thomas, I thought that it was interesting that Molly Hemingway mentioned, you know, John Roberts also over 70 years old, that there would be deep interest potentially in a replacement there. And this interesting part in the Axio story buck is that there is a headline here that specifically references Clarence Thomas. Ron DeSantis and conservative justice Clarence Thomas said, according to a source, almost have a father-son relationship. That would be a hell of a legacy for Trump. Now, I told you, and I think you'd probably sign on this too as well, Buck. It only takes about two more years for Clarence Thomas to be the longest serving justice of all time. I think that matters to him. I don't think he's going to leave before then, if he's healthy. Ron DeSantis would also be a super difficult target for Democrats to try to submarine. He has the intellect. He has the skills. He has the background. He's got a super clean, you know, everything would have come out about him already. There's nothing to hit. They can try to Brett Kavanaugh him, but we would see that coming the same way. Now it would be Brett Kavanaugh Part 2. It's not going to work. So, yeah, I think that that's very, that's very in Clay. I thought that you were off on that one, and I will give you, I will give you the full credit for thinking that that is a possibility. Look, 40 years of Ron DeSantis on the Supreme Court would be an absolute home run for Trump. Yes. We always talk about how would a guy. It was always a good idea from that perspective. I just didn't, I thought Ron still wanted to be president. Like I'm telling this right now, Ted Cruz does not want Supreme Court. Ted Cruz wants to run.

Different thing. That, I think, is very clear to people in that orbit. So Ron, though, maybe wants that Supreme Court seat. Look, we talk so much about what will people do when they actually have lifetime tenure. Ron DeSantis would be Samuel Alito or Thomas. He would have everybody's back for 40 years. Just honestly, he would. Long-term investing is the way to get actually great results. That's just the truth. Long-term thesis for investing is something you want to stick to. And if you're taking the long view, guess what? Gold makes a lot of sense because gold over time has grown in value. In fact, over the last 20 years, the value of gold has increased by 700%. I own gold. And I've bought gold going back for a decade. So look, I wish I had bought more, quite honestly. Birch Gold Group. wants you to look at gold for the long term. And they've just announced their learn and earn precious metals event at Birch Gold Group.

All right, we're going to dive into this Axio story a little bit when we come back because... It begins with President Trump has told confidants Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is begging for a job, including Attorney General. And then Ron DeSantis' source in the same article says he does not want Attorney General. We'll talk about this and more because I do think the decisions Trump is going to have to make on Attorney General. Other places matter a great deal. What I do feel confident about is Ron DeSantis has the energy to be able to do well at a lot of different cabinet positions.

You know, Trump called in to CNBC and some important news was made from what he said about a whole range of things going on. Clay, number two, I will ask you about at some point here, which is just interesting to me, which is Clay, Trump, not Clay. Trump's saying that college sports is it, you know what actually? Explain this. I want you to explain to me what's going on. This is Trump on CNBC. I just want to learn on this one because I have no idea, really. I mean, I guess it's the name and likeness thing at some level, but that's about as much as I understand of it. This is cut, too. This is Trump this morning. Play it. Look what happened with NIL. They destroyed college sports, the court system. Destroyed. So hard to put that one back, Humpty Dumpty, so hard to put that one back together. You know, we had 150 years of... of rulings and everything else, and they had such a great system. It was a scholarship system. You get free college of your good athlete. You get this, you get that. And it took care of every sport. Fencing, not only football. Now it's all football, and the football is bringing down colleges because they're losing. Did you see Penn State lost $500 million last year? Florida State lost $450. Million dollars left. They can't lose that kind of money. They don't make that kind of money. College sports is a disaster right now. You have many people staying in college because they're going to make more money than they would if they went into baseball, major league baseball or the NFL. They can make more money, you know, a seven-year freshman. We have a seven-year freshman. It's crazy.

It is ridiculous to me as an outsider. Some of these things he's talking about, like the seven-year freshman thing and all this nonsense. The guys who are 28 who are playing college athletics now to make money. It's absurd. It's stupid. It makes a mockery of the whole thing. Are his numbers right with the 400 million? What is you talking about? Well, so those numbers, I'm always skeptical of accounting numbers because this is my general position on accounting in general. You give me 10 accountants. 10 different accountants will tell me what I owe for taxes. Like so much of this is infuriating. You know, I'm honestly a flat tax guy, you know, back in the day, one thing I think Steve Forbes got right is we should just be able to have on our, you know, postcard like, hey, everybody pays 12% or whatever the heck it was. But going back to Trump, well, he's right in general direction without me being able to subscribe to the specifics because I haven't read those exact numbers. College sports are broken. And college, it is funny. President Trump is just trying to fix everything simultaneously. He's trying to fix the ballroom at the White House situation. He's trying to build a huge arch. He's trying to fix the situation in Venezuela, in Iran, in Cuba. He's trying to fix the American economy. He's just doing everything all at once. And he's also trying to fix college sports. Here's the easy way to explain it, Buck. There is perpetual college football free agency and college basketball. So we got the NFL draft coming up on Thursday. A lot of people watch it, tens of millions. In college athletics right now, every single player is a free agent every year. And they're making money through NIL, which is name, image, and likeness, which is, you know, if you and I do an advertisement on television, that would be NIL. That would be NIL for a player or a coach as well. What they're getting is pay for play. So we went from, you'll be suspended if you get paid anything for being a college athlete to you can make millions of dollars to play college football and college basketball now. And so his point that I think really kind of brings it home is we have guys suing to be able to stay in college because they'll make more money playing college sports than they will if they go to the pros. Think about how crazy that is. So you've got 19-year-olds on college campuses making millions of dollars. Buck, can you imagine how much. These people are not student athletes. This whole thing is so idiotic. It's so absurd. But, Clay, it has been for, this has been my thing for a long time. A lot of these schools, they're not student athletes, okay? They're mercenaries for sports. They're pretending to go to classes. They're pretending to get an edg Now. I know people are, oh, but what about this person who's like at Stanford and he's a genius? Also, you know, playing on the tennis team. We know what we're talking about here. This whole thing has been a charade. They don't even go to class anymore, Buck, because everything is online. So a lot of these guys used to when I was a kid, when you were a kid, there would be guys who were quote unquote academically ineligible because they hadn't gotten enough credits. Nobody's academically ineligible anymore. And they're going to five schools in five years. Think about how hard is this to transfer.

It's just semi-pro sports using, in a lot of cases for like the state schools, taxpayer-enabled ecosystems and even stadiums to build all this stuff. Because, you know, people talk about the big programs, but yeah, there's thousands of colleges in the country. Yes. And they all have sports teams. So a lot of them are not making, you know, I went to Amherst. UMass Amherst. Nobody was freaking out about what a great football team they had. But they have a giant stadium paid for by the taxpayer. So. This is just, it's finally, some of us have been like shouted at like nerd, getting a wedgy and getting shoved in the locker for talking to this for a long time. I am one of those people. It's just, it's just an observation of what is clear, which is that these things are not what they are pretending to be. In fact, you got coaches making $10 million, but their players get like kicked out of the NCAA forever if they accept a ham sandwich from a booster. It's so stupid. It's absurd. So it's broken. The whole thing is preposterous. And it went to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court said 9-0 that the NCAA basically couldn't restrict competition, and that's where we are. Now, Congress, and I'm going to testify about this, because I could spend, like, I love this. It's super complicated, but I get all in the weeds. I'm going to go testify for this with Jim Jordan in June. I'm scheduled to. But what they need is an antitrust exemption. Because without an antitrust exemption, there's basically no way to put in place rules. So here's a historical analogy for you, Buck, and I've used this. Remember when the Berlin Wall came down and suddenly you could sell nuclear weapons and kidneys in some of these Eastern European countries? They had no guardrails. They went from everything is basically prohibited to be sold outside of the government's sphere. Two, we have absolutely no rules at all. And I'm not kidding. You could buy suddenly they were selling off, you know, factories on that make steel and you could just go buy them and you could sell. I think you could still sell kidneys in Russia. I think. I'm not 100% an expert on that. But. They had all these no rules or regulations at all. They went from purely restricted economic activity to unregulated capitalism. We're in the unregulated capitalism stage of college athletics. It was still illegal to sell nukes, but I see what you're saying, yes. Basically, you could buy a missile. I think you could buy a missile back in the day. It's still illegal, but yes. They were selling them, yes. Like, there's a difference. Anyway, it doesn't matter, but yes. It wasn't actually legal to do everything, but people were doing a lot of stuff. Can you sell kidneys still? I don't know. I think in many different Eastern European countries, they will allow you to sell your kidney. So, I mean, it's, it's illegal here to sell your kidney. Give it away, but you can't sell it. And not that I'm an organ donor expert, but just we have gotten to complete unregulated capitalism. By the way, I tease this just a second ago. The Axio story on Ron DeSantis, it actually says all sorts of interesting things. And now we need to get, well, let's put an invite out to.

uh Ron DeSantis to come on again he may not want to because this story is now out there and it's getting so much attention but the opening paragraph buck actually says i thought you would would be interested president trump has told confidants florida governor Ron DeSantis is quote begging for a job including in the attorney general And it quotes them as saying Ron DeSantis' future was on the menu after the two men had lunch at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami a week ago. Ron was begging me to be AG, Trump told one confidant, who relayed the remark to Axios, said another source. There was a conversation at that lunch. I don't think AG is real, but he's going to be looking for work and Trump likes him. And there is now a quote from Ron DeSantis' team. Some in the media prefer to focus on fake rumors rather than the many accomplishments of Florida's partnership with the Trump administration. The governor looks forward to continuing to work with President Trump on enforcing immigration laws, restoring the Everglades, and helping to reform college athletics because Ron DeSantis is on the board on college athletics. Remember, Trump was thinking about picking Ron DeSantis to replace Pete Hegseth. when it seemed like Pete Hegseth might not get confirmed. This is another part of the quote. Ron DeSantis is 100% not interested in AG, but would be interested in two things, war secretary or Supreme Court, which would be his dream job, said another source familiar. So I just think this is a, put a pen in this. Because Ron DeSantis is term limited out in November buck. And I don't think he's going to go sit on the sidelines for a few years. I think there's a lot of things that he could help this administration doing. And I know every time we mention this, all the Ron DeSantis people that are still mad and they only seem to exist online. And all the Trump people who are still mad online just come and yell at each other in my mentions. But I like to see two successful guys work together for the betterment of the country. So sue me on that one. Total non sequitur for a second, but you see that there's some guy, and it was going viral recently, who's done a linguistic map of all of America, and one of the words that is used to separate what dialect of American English you speak is pin. It's interesting. And you just said pin. So you actually are. A Tennessean, it turns out. And I am some Anglo-Irish Yankee from New York, because we would say pin, and you say pin. What? Let me ask you this. When you are waiting to get tickets. But there's seven different ways that people say that word apparently across the country. Oh, that's super interesting. Pin, yes. Like the pen that I'm, well, I've done now think about how I'm saying it. Yes. When you are waiting to get tickets and you would go to get them, you would be doing what? With there are people in front of you. Waiting? You would be in what? Line. Yeah, but how would you say it? In line. You say you go stand online or in line? Ooh.

Now, see, now you've kind of thrown me. Now, I've got too rattled because you're not thinking about how you would do it. I would say waiting in line. Waiting in line is how. Yeah. A lot of people in the Northeast say they're waiting online. Now, maybe that's starting to change because people go online to get on the internet now, but it is a regional distinction that I noticed when I went away to college. A lot of northeastern kids say, we're going to go wait online instead of in line. Am I crazy on this? Interesting. Hewing up. I mean, producer Greg is just out to launch on so many. He's like, you're like, hey, do you like Coke or Pepsi border? He's like, I'm a big tab guy. You know, he's just all. He's a captain in Space Force in every sense, okay? He's a Space Force guy in a lot of ways. Would you rather have Coke, Sprite? And producer Greg's like, do you have Welch's grape soda? Just, you know, you never have any idea where he's going to come out of. Queuing up for line. Queuing, the cue is a European phrase, producer Greg. I'm pretty sure that very few people use relative. But online and in line, I'm telling you as a thing. And I've noticed the pen. Here's a tip for you, Buck. You're better at linguistics than I am. I can tell immediately if someone is from the South based on how they use the word O in a sentence. And because O drags a little bit if you're Southern in the way that we talk. And even if you don't have much of an accent, I'd be like, oh, you grew up in the South in some way if your O kind of lingers a little bit. Hmm. And I did not know that. Very interesting. By the way, back to Ron DeSantis and the, notice how the framing of this issue is begged. That's, I don't believe that the governor of Florida is begging for anything, but this is, I don't know. This strikes me as. maybe he's going to get something, and they want it to seem like, you know, they're making them kind of go through the little humiliation ritual at the very end here. I don't know. That strikes me as odd. And also, Buck, on the begging, makes me wonder, did somebody leak this to try to tank his ability to get it? Ron has any number of job opportunities and things he could do for plenty of money and be plenty of happy with his wife and kids out. So I don't see begging for any. That strikes me. That's the part of it that smells funky to me, honestly, of all this stuff. So something's up there. I agree. And I got to tell you, we're coming up. We'll take some of your talkbacks and everything else. Tunnel the Towers is the 25th anniversary right now and has such an impactful time. for so many of us, as we're already talking about things that are going to be done around the 25th anniversary of 9-11, that is incredibly impactful with everybody out there at Tunnel the Towers. They're going to be doing so many important events. We're going to be a part of them. We're thankful to have Frank Siller as a part of this team to have been doing so many events for him for the last five years and to stand up for heroes like United States Army Sergeant William McKenna.

William McKenna served two tours in Iraq where he was exposed daily to toxic chemicals from burn pits. Less than a year after returning from his final tour, William lost his life to T-cell lymphoma. He left behind his wife, Dina, and their two daughters. His widow continues to fight tirelessly for veterans exposed to burn pits. In this, the 25th anniversary of 9-11, we're continuing to see the lasting impact that day has on heroes and their families. And you can help more families like the McKinnis by joining us today, making a donation, $11 to amplify the impact that you can have. You can also add a car or land donation. Go to t2t.org.

Welcome back in, Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Buck, a little bit of news, reports that...

Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, and JD Vance are all now at the White House. So the departure for Pakistan seems less likely by the minute. So we will see what is. So the Zoom option is looking more serious. I think Zoom. Could this meeting have been a Zoom instead of in person is something we've all asked? Yes. So that is the absolute latest there. Let me also mention, I know we've talked about it during the course of the program. Virginia, if you are listening to us right now, Virginians get out and vote against this redistricting. It looks like it's going to be close according to forecasts that I see out there. So they're trying to turn Virginia from six to five, which is a rough approximation of how the 2024 presidential election went. to 10 to 1. So we would encourage all of you to get out and vote no all over the state of Virginia. Very good. Let's see. We've got here. Josh from Pennsylvania, he wants to talk about some stuff. This is G. Hey, guys, I got one for you. What do you put your groceries in at the store? Most places, probably a cart where I'm from in Pennsylvania. It's a buggy. And in Massachusetts, it's a carriage. Just thought that was interesting. That's crazy. It's a buggy? Are you one of those, like, Pennsylvania Dutch people that, like, rides around with the horse? I've never heard anyone call it a buggy. The Amish, the Mennonite community, perhaps? By the way, I wanted to clean this up. I said Connecticut had much lower taxes. Evidently, I'm wrong on this. This is producer Greg, who again is the tab soda guy. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania is lower. But I don't... Do very many people live in Pennsylvania and go into New York? I mean, that's not really a thing. Some, but not as much. I was thinking of the... I was, to be clear, thinking of New York to New England. I wasn't including Pennsylvania in that conversation, but you could. Taxes there are a bit better. But, yeah, I still think we got to get a red wave to wash over Connecticut and just take it over as a state. Hostel takeover. Life moves fast.
