Welcome in Wednesday edition, Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. The sun is in fact up after a dark night. And I'm in New York City, and it is certainly a very dark morning in New York City. We will dive into, as you might well imagine, Zohran Mamdani's huge win. The wins in New Jersey and in Virginia for the Democrat candidates. It is the one year anniversary of Trump's big win. And certainly the Democrats who hate Trump, well, they have not stopped hating Trump. And to me, Buck, there are two big takeaways that I have. And then I'm curious whether you co-sign or whether you have different takeaways. And to me, let's start with New York City. This is not an upset. Zohran Mamdani won a majority of the vote in one of the highest turnout elections that New York City has seen in most of the listeners' lives out there. So all of our WOR people, open phone lines, by the way, producer Greg will open them. If all of you Curtis Sliwa people would like to call in and apologize to me for correctly pointing out that he had zero percent chance of winning. And that honestly, I do think if he had dropped out earlier and it had been a Andrew Cuomo against Zohran Mamdani straight up election, I think that Andrew Cuomo may have been able to win. The latest numbers that I saw Buck and less more have come in is that Zohran Mamdani won right around 50.4% of the vote. That is just barely over a majority. And that the rest was split between Curtis Sliwa. And so New York City starting there, what was your take? My biggest take is like, this is what New York wanted.

The polls were all correct. Let's take a moment because we get a lot of, oh, you can't trust the polls. You can't. No, the polls were pretty much spot on. The people that were leading all one and the margins were more or less what was expected. Virginia might have been a little bigger than expected. But look, we lost the governor's mansion in Virginia. We lost a governor. Well, we didn't win the contest for the governor's mansion in New Jersey. We've got a communist mayor of New York City inbound. Clay, I am wearing Soviet Union red today in solidarity with Comrade Zohran Mamdani. But the political consensus, the wisdom of the chattering class, whatever you want to call it, was locked in, correct. And everything that we told you, to be fair, was also correct. None of this. I was hopeful that maybe we would steal something from New Jersey, but we didn't. So it was not a not a strong night. Look, these are very tough races in very tough spaces for not just a Republican, but for sanity. This is like the heart of darkness when you're talking about New York City. You're talking about the northern part of Virginia, which now dominates the state. Clay, I will say, and we're going to get into the demographic data too here. That also completely aligned with what we thought. If you thought some group was going to vote, Zohran Mamdani, they did. By the way, Zohran Mamdani got over 90% of the black vote, something that was not talked about very much in advance of the election. So that was the single strongest demographic for Zohran Mamdani. But there are many young women, millennials. uh... Hispanics, Asians, there's all these breakdowns of the data we'll see. Clay, I think that on the, on, at the biggest level, at the 30,000 foot view, uh, this is a reminder that economics is still the dominant political issue in America, wherever you are. People are worried about prices. They're worried about cost of living. They're worried about their future and their children's future or even their ability to have children because of the future that they see. And the political party that addresses that with more a plum, not just more accuracy, Zohran Mamdani was more fun than the other guys. Yeah, he's a communist. He's going to ruin New York. We all get that, right? But Clay, who was more entertaining? Who was more engaging? Who seemed like he wanted it more? It's not even close. Andrew Cuomo barely showed up. New York City's in trouble. with Zohran Mamdani, but they voted for him for sure. The turnout was huge. Here's what I would say about Virginia and New Jersey. And I think this is where not only do we look at the results, but we have to spin it forward and we have to do it honestly. Trump got more votes in New Jersey and in Virginia last year than either of the winning candidates did, Mikie Sherrill or Abigail Spanberger.

Okay, why do I say that? Yes, it was a presidential election. Yes, it's an off-year election, but that always happens in New Jersey and Virginia. 600,000 Trump voters, Buck, did not show up and vote in both New Jersey and in Virginia. 600,000. Some of you are listening to us right now and you didn't go vote even though we told you to go vote. Shame. What does that mean going forward? The people buck who hate Trump, they show up. Their brains are broken. They will show up at a school board vote because they hate Trump. The people who love Trump, they don't show up when Trump's not on the ballot. And so that is ominous for 2026 and candidly it's ominous for 2028. Which is why I have told you the pivot is coming very soon to Trump's voters won't show up in 28. And they're going to say Trump's voters won't show up in 26. And that is to me the biggest most impactful thing about what happened last night. 600,000 people less showed up in New Jersey and Virginia. It wasn't. that somehow these Democrats won and turned out unbelievable numbers. The numbers in New York City were unbelievable. They were good. I mean, they actually did do a good job of turnout, I think, in New York, particularly, but in New York City. But that's why I said it's two different takes. New York City, they said, we want Zohran Mamdani. He's our guy. We are excited to go to the polls and make this guy the next mayor. You said it's because he's exciting. I mean, I think that he ran. I think you got to give him credit. a great campaign and he delivered based on an awful, awful pitch reality-wise. But in New Jersey and Virginia, the biggest story to me is Trump's people didn't show up. There is a fundamental reality that the GOP is going to have to address. Look, this is an off-year election. This was Democrat home turf really across the board. I mean, Virginia is a purple-blue state. I know we had that nice off-year win before with Glenn Youngkin. Winsome Earle-Sears seems like a wonderful lady and just a very good person, a completely... unmemorable campaign. Not to be mean, I think she's very impressive, and I obviously would have voted for her if I live in Virginia, but just not a campaigner. You know, you can be a good leader, you can be a good decider, but not really a campaigner. Zohran Mamdani is kind of funny, Clay. He's the opposite.

Zohran Mamdani created a show. Zohran Mamdani remembered the lessons of Saul Alinsky. Go back and read rules for radicals, everybody. Alinsky, there is an evil brilliance to so much that is in that book. One of the things is make it fun. Yeah. Make it an activity. Make activism something people want to show up to because they'll feel cool and they'll laugh and they'll be with their friends. And Zohran Mamdani managed to do that. Now, Trump has had that same effect on the right. Trump is both a political and a cultural phenomenon. People show up with their MAGA hats. People show up feeling like they are part of something. The big question for 28, more so even than 26, I think, Clay. is how does the MAGA movement coalesce around an era parent? How does Trump play into that? And this is going to be something we talk a lot about in the next year. But in the meantime, the economy, and that means health care, that means inflation, the cost of rent, the cost of groceries, the cost of everything. You've got to have messaging on this, everyone, or else the commies will be in charge. Here is a funny tweet on this. Because we are going to try to have some humor because sometimes you get your ass kick. Yeah, look, it's all going to be fine. You have to have a little bit of black sense of humor, right? A dark sense of humor. I told my parents, just make sure that go bags are by the front door. I'm here in Florida. If you got to flee, you know where to go. They're fine. Brad Chadlington. I don't know who he is, but I saw this and I thought it was so funny. The richest, whitest, most sheltered girl you know from the wealthiest suburb in the country. is posting a picture of Zohran Mamdani on her story right now, captioned Power to the People from her Soho apartment that's paid for by her wealthy conservative father. There is a lot of truth to this because the more recently you arrived in New York City, I saw a breakdown based on length of time that people have lived in New York City, the more likely you were to vote for Zohran Mamdani. Overwhelming majority. I think it was 82% I saw of people that have gotten to New York City in the last decade. Now, a lot of those are... immigrants, right, which is a whole big discussion in general. But a lot of those people are actually just young college kids, like the girl probably that I just described. Well, we got to slow immigration down in general. There's another conversation that everyone needs to have. If you have the largest city in America with being largely determined, its future being determined by people who have been in America for only a couple of years, that's a problem. That's actually not what you want. No other country would allow that. Yeah. I know that we're simple, we've been brainwashed to believe that that's all, you know, if you just came across the border, even if you're illegal, you're as American as everybody who's ever been here. And even if their family's been here for generations, that is not true.

uh and and we have to have a discussion about that as well we're good we've had a lot of immigration you know we've had a lot of legal immigration a lot of illegal immigration it's time to it's time to tighten up some of these numbers a little bit and let assimilation and americanism and americanizing take place for everybody it can't just be this wide open door and you get people coming here from all over the world who are saying you know what i want communism That's not good. That's not going to help us very much here. By the country went through this before, the city of Chicago in particular, Clay, right around the turn of the 20th century, there were all kinds of commies and socialists and anarchists who were showing up, and it was a real concern then. The biggest issue, I would say, with illegal immigration and immigration now is... Back in the day when we had, you know, where I am right now in New York City, huge Irish populations, huge Italian populations, huge numbers of immigrants, a lot of them still came from a Western civilization culture that recognized that Western civilization, and yes, Christianity, although it might have been Catholic, remember the big battle there was between Protestants and Catholics, there was a common floor of agreement on some level. A lot of people coming now, which is certainly incredibly ironic, are arguing America is an awful place. Oh, and American history is awful. And this will, I think it's even worse, Clay, because there's also, this is a spoil system that people now arrive. And you see this in Minneapolis and you see this in New York and you see this in cities where there is a particularly increasingly obvious tribal, newly arrived political attitude. Yes. Like I have arrived. I'm going to vote as a voting block to dispossess the natives, the ones who have been here. And by the way, to be very clear. That's all Americans. That's white, black, Asian, Latino, but it's people that were born here, people that were raised here, people that are American. There's now the new arrivals that are saying, why do I even have to, why do I even have to conform? Why don't I have to learn English even or do any of this stuff? I'm just going to stay with my voting block here. By the way, if you want to look at a version of this, Sweden, the Netherlands, they've got big problems. People show up and they say, I just want the welfare state, and I'm going to have... uh... nothing to do with your culture and your society now look there's a very complicated broad discussion with a lot of things going on but in new york it is very stark uh... people who are college educated and young who have been brainwashed i will just say it they have been brainwashed they do not know uh... the other problem on this though is They are getting screwed by not having assets because of the inflationary policies of both Democrats and Republicans and the way that we've created a system that unfortunately is intergenerational theft. No one wants to hear that, but it's true. 37 trillion dollars of debt. This is a problem. We do actually have to deal with this. So there's a lot of lessons I think you can take from this, but there's nothing dire here. It's an off-year election.

We expected all these results, Clay. We told people that these results were coming, and a lot of people out there said, I don't believe the polls. Remember Hillary, Clay, you're the reason Slee was going to win when I said, okay, I'll wear a beret for, like, he got seven and a half percent of the vote. Yeah, 7.5% of the vote. I think I could have gotten 7.5% of the vote, honestly. I mean, you know, I think you would have gotten more than 7.5% of the vote. So, you know, a native son of New York formerly of the NYPD, he's got some, he's got decent hair. No beret, but decent hair. Yeah, it was not a good showing for Sleewell. You fled the city just in time, by the way. A lot of people are going to say, buck, you know, got out. I mean, I'm actually, I'm actually closing on a Florida property today, an investment. So it's funny. I've been told we could have some fun with this too. Real estate agents legitimately in Florida and Tennessee and Texas are being flooded with calls right now. I wonder, is that really? I'm going to send some messages out because everybody in Florida has a real estate license. So I'm going to ask some of my buddies here. It is 100% real. Now, people may not act on it, but there's a lot of people waking up in New York this morning saying this is just, they went through COVID. They dealt with all of the things that had to do with Eric Adams, but this is much worse. Home burglaries and invasions are the last thing you want to contend with in your own home. And unfortunately happens more than you'd think about every 30 seconds nationwide. And look, there are some places where we're seeing crime reductions and that's great. And Trump has played a big role in that. But a lot of other places where burglaries are on the rise. And honestly, it can just happen, even in safe neighborhood, safe areas.

Obviously election day results to talk about here. And we're going to dive into more of that. Take a lot of your calls. Let's hear from you in New York, New Jersey, and particularly Virginia voters out there. I want to hear about how it feels for all of you. A little bit of special focus here on the New York City individuals. Because New Jersey's not going to change. Mikie Sherrill, it's going to be business as usual, unfortunately, in the Garden State. That would have been a nice one. There's that. Maybe Jack Ciattarelli should have called in like he was supposed to. I don't know what to tell you. It would have helped. Oh, one thing that was sad for me. You know, there was one spot on the map for Curtis Sliwa. One spot on the map for Curtis Sliwa that was a Curtis Sliwa win. When I went to bed last night, Broad Channel, way out in Brooklyn by Fall Rock Away. The Island of Broad Channel. I went to bed thinking Curtis Sliwa was the king of Broad Channel, Clay.

And then Andrew Cuomo pulled it out of his hands at like three in the morning as the results were being tallied. I felt bad for my man Slee. I was like, at least he's got Broad Channel. We will take your calls and we come back, 800, 282, 282. You can also send your talkback apologies to me for being completely right about everything I said in New York City in the mayor's race, including people who called me mean names.

A lot of you want to weigh in, and we will take a bunch of your calls here. Jason in Houston. Buck, I don't know what the reaction has been among your friends in Florida, but I was tweeting last night. And I saw I just, I'm catching up with Twitter. I saw that you responded to Tommy Laren being upset with me for telling people in New York, hey, come on down to Tennessee, come on down to Texas, come on down to Florida. If you are successful and just fed up with everything around you, Tommy is like, no, we don't want any of these people here. And then you pointed out that Florida has a lot of dangers. And so you wanted everyone to be aware. I'm fine with the sane and decent people of New York who have had enough going to another red state. It's just Florida's gotten a little crowded since I arrived a few years ago, and we have sharks and alligator. So for the safety of all involved, I think go out. There's all this land. I've driven around Nashville. outside the city limits. There's all this land there. Just start building there. You're going to love it. It's going to be great. Let me also point this out more seriously. For any of you out there that have bought into this craziness that Jewish people run the country right now and they make every decision, let me just point this out. The biggest population of Jews in America is in New York City.

And New York City just elected a mayor that hates them. So if the Jewish people were so all powerful, with the help of some Jewish voters, I might add, by the way, substantial. We'll see what that data actually looks like. But Zohran Mamdani won the very heavily Jewish Upper West Side of Manhattan by a lot. Yeah. So, and look, I mean, it's a dark thing to think about, but. 25th anniversary of 9-11, the mayor of New York City is now going to be Muslim. I don't know how those ceremonies are going to go, and certainly there are peace-loving. members of the Muslim community but I think if you had told people in New York in 2001 hey on the 25th anniversary of 9-11 there will be a Muslim mayor of New York City I think a lot of them would have told you that that is crazy in the immediate aftermath of 9-11 I would also point out that it disproves the arguments that Zohran Mamdani used to get elected, which is that New Yorkers are hugely racist and religious bigots. Well, Islamophobic is the one of, which is, as I've always said, 9-11 was one of the greatest testament, the aftermath of 9-11, greatest testaments to the character and tolerance of the American people, because there was no real Islamophobia. Yes. They can talk about like, oh, someone said something mean to somebody with a headscarf. A lot of people say a lot of mean things to people every day for a lot of reasons, okay? That's not a hate crime that we all have to sit around and cry about. But that wasn't even really happening in the way they were pretending. Anyway, not even. This was a class and socialism and Marxism election. It really was more that, I think, than anything in New York City, that than anything else. And then in the Democrat precincts in Virginia, Clay. Look, D.C. is a one industry town government in all its formations and permutations. And the Republicans came in, and they've been cutting jobs, and they've got Doge. And let me tell you, there are a lot of very unhappy. Now, there's really two, just like there's a lot, there's a lot of this in other states, right? There's the Virginia that is essentially overflow from the District of Columbia, which is a big chunk of it. Right. Just a big suburb of D.C. And then there's the Virginia that some of you live in who are listening that's just like red and you're listening to this show and we all get, you know, we all get the vibe, right? Unfortunately, there's so many people in that northern part and the job, the job's cutting and the anxiety over. over the government shutdown, turnout was huge. And that would be very difficult for any Republican to overcome. And we told you that they were using that for their political benefit, and I bet we'll get it into the shutdown sooner rather than later. Jason and Houston, what you got for us? Hey, I just want to promote my city here. I've lived in Houston for 50 years. I love it.

And any of you in New York want to come down here and think you're going to lose something, you're not. We have a world-class symphony, world-class opera, ballet, theater seats. So you, Jason, I appreciate Houston is a great place. You want angry New Yorkers who vote red. You're welcoming them down to the Lone Star State and to Houston in particular. Oh, yeah. Houston's a great place to live. It is so underrated by people who've never been here. I mean, we have so much to offer. We got lots of great restaurants as far as he can not. A lot of people don't know this. You know what the second largest industry in Houston is? No. Energy's the first. Energy makes sense. Rodeo. Medicine. medicine i should have i should have got large you have the m t anderson uh complex thank you for the call is i'm gonna say i i don't want to i'm not trying to offend anybody elsewhere in texas i i'm more a houston person than a dallas person and i've spent a lot of time in the dallas area but i'm i'm houston's more my my scene actually so i i like houston a lot I think the food, when I've gone to restaurants in Houston that Houstonians have said the food's really good, even as a food snob New Yorker, I have to be like, yes, your food is very good. So that's always a big tell for me. Bonnie in Charleston, South Carolina, Bonnie, thanks for listening. What you got for us? Oh, guys, I want to apologize for the women. I just want to apologize. because I watched the statistics. The women are the ones that put Zohran Mamdani over. The women are the ones that put it over in New Jersey and in Virginia. I want to apologize for the stupidity of my gender. Thank you for the call, Bonnie. I wasn't expecting Bonnie to call in from Charleston, South Carolina. Beautiful city there. And just point out what is true. Men voted for... The Republican wins some seers, based on what I've seen, if there were only men voting, Republicans would have won every race. I think also this goes in the silver lining, but also a little bit of the Schadenfreude category for those of you who voted for either Andrew Cuomo or Curtis Sliwa. And I know if you're a Andrew Cuomo voter, you just, it was an anti-Momondani vote, but wasn't enough. Remember, Trump endorsed Andrew Cuomo. What a crazy world we live in at the very at the very 11th. What odds would you have given me on Trump endorsing Andrew Cuomo for any election in the rest of his life in the 2020 when we were in the middle of COVID? Yeah. Would have been quite a stretch. But there we are or there we were. And I would just say, Zohran Mamdani is going to greatly disappoint the people who actually believe that he will deliver on the stuff that he has promised. And that also means that he will not be able to mess things up as badly as some of you are worried he will. That said, he is going to be a very bad mayor, unfortunately. So it's not as bad as people are thinking if they think it's going to be absolutely catastrophic. He's really just going to be, I think, in a lot of ways, de Blasio, but he's taking over with a city that is in more need of help.

and more need of fixing them. When de Blasio took it over, all he had to do is not mess it up. And de Blasio was like, I'm going to mess this up. That's a different situation than Zohran Mamdani now. I think the awful way to contemplate this buck to me is it won't matter. They're not going to, it doesn't even matter if Zohran Mamdani does an awful job. They hate Trump so much that they are willing to live in awfulness. rather than make a choice that would in any way be seen as an acknowledgement that Trump is something other than pure evil. That's when you have gone full woke. I want everyone to understand. This was a lesson for me. This was something that I had to adjust my thinking and understanding of the left Democrat mindset of America clay based on the San Francisco model. where they finally, in the BLM era, right, so 2020, George Floyd happens, they reached the point where it was, so what if your home is being burglarized? Social justice means you can't call the cops because, and I'm just telling you what the argument was, and there were editorials written about this. You can go find them. There was one in particular in the San Francisco Chronicle. You can't call the cops because a person of color is stealing from you because of society. And so you are part of systematic racism if you call the cops. So it's basically you must revel in your suffering. That is where they finally will go. And in New York, they have not suffered enough. They have not seen what happens when you promise fairy tales and put idiots in charge. It's funny because it sounds on its face so patently absurd to say to someone in San Francisco, if a minority robs you, you shouldn't call the police because the minority deserves whatever your property is. And police violence may be visited on them. Oh, well, that's true. That's the other part of it. But this is just a physical direct manifestation of what reparations is, right? It sounds even more ridiculous when you put it in the context of you have possession of property and you give it to someone else based entirely on their past. It's really the robbery is just a physical manifestation, which makes the reparations even more ridiculous. But the government is taking the money instead of an individual in the case of reparations. Tom, in Tampa, what you got? Hey, you're slightly wrong on one thing you said, and I'm going to prove it to you, okay? The Great Rush Limbaugh taught us all that the campaigns live on three words, internal polling data. Everybody said that if Curtis pulled out of the race, those votes would go to Zohran Mamdani. Well, apparently, Curtis had internal polling data data. All right, no put attended.

that indicated that that was not the case. So where you were wrong, Clay, is apparently there was no secret deal to get Curtis Sliwa some sort of job because it didn't matter if he pulled out or stayed in. Hold on. I do think the data reflects. I'm looking at the results right now. Curtis Sliwa got 7.1% of the vote. If he had dropped out. To Andrew Cuomo's percentage, it doesn't come up to enough to win the election. Okay. I think if Curtis Sliwa had dropped out and it had been a head-to-head race, Zohran Mamdani won 50.4% of the race. He barely got over 50%. I think if there had been a head-to-head race, it is more likely that Andrew Cuomo could have, potentially, maybe he wouldn't have, gotten over 50%. With Curtis Sliwa in, Zohran Mamdani won by nearly nine points. It didn't end up being remotely close. Now, people out there, Buck, were calling in and saying, you guys are, or particularly me, you're crazy, Slee was going to win. And so I had fun and said, I'll wear red beret for, I mean, he got 7% of the vote. Well, also, the thing that always made me a little sanguine about this whole thing, and I love New York, and I am not in the, let's just see, let's see how crazy this experiment can get. Let's see what happens when we empty out Arkham on New York City, and the asylum is actually just the city itself. I'm rooting for New York, but Andrew Cuomo is horrible. I mean, this is, Andrew Cuomo isn't a generic Democrat who happened. Andrew Cuomo was a terrible governor. And awful, not just on COVID. I keep banging the table. The crime, the crime policies that Andrew Cuomo push at the state level were the worst things done to New York City on crime. So this is why everyone's saying, oh, but Andrew Cuomo, but Andrew Cuomo, he was terrible, actually. So that was, I felt like we were out of the frying pan, into the fire, even if we got a Andrew Cuomo come from behind, Victor. Here's some fun buck. Roy just emailed me. You and Travis, I think he thinks he's emailing you, but so this is directed at you, Buck. You and Travis did everything you could to short circuit Curtis Sliwa's campaign, except urge people to vote for Mom Kami. And when it became obvious that was what you were doing, you had the unmitigated gall to invite Curtis Sliwa on for a last minute interview. And now you're kissing Mom Kami's ass. F you controlled opposition. You can go to hell before you get an apology. You know what? We're here. We're here to absorb all the frustration of Curtis Sliwa voters because you're our family Curtis Sliwa voters. You're our family. I love you all. Okay. And I know it's a sad, you know, the home team did not win. 7.1% of the vote bucks. Seven point. This is like losing 63 to 3.

Clay is having a little more fun with that than I am. All right. By the way, that's Clay. I'm Buck. I don't know who the Travis thing is that they're sending email in. All right.

Don't miss the moment it becomes history. All right, welcome back into Clay End Buck. We got Danny and Staten Island, the Staten Island, an island of sanity in a sea of madness in this election. Thanks for being with us, Danny. What's going on? What do you want to tell us? You got it, guys. Thanks. I love your show. You guys are great Americans. Thanks for everything you do. Yeah, we expected this, but now that it's here, I mean, I've had bolt feet out the Gulf of Florida for a while now, but now it's all the... Now I just got up to hold my cousin that lives down there in Tampa, and I'm, like, probably going to head down there this weekend and check out some properties. You're doing Gulf Coast? You're going to go Gulf Coast, not Atlantic Coast? I mean, I love the East Coast. I love the East Coast, but I just have a fondness for the West Coast. I just something about it. So this was the, I mean, tipping point. You said you've had, you've been thinking about it for a while. But if Zohran Mamdani had lost, you wouldn't have gone like this to you was just like the straw that breaks the proverbial camels back on New York for you? Pretty much. I'm just, Staten Island, we've always marched to a beat of our own here, as you know, it's a little different than the rest of the four boroughs. You know, we don't even consider ourselves part of yours. Yeah, you guys are Clay and Buckland. Like, I walk around there with my man Joe Borelli, and I feel like the deputy mayor or something. I love you people in Staten Island. Yeah, I mean, I'm born and raised. I mean, I'm a retired fireman. I've been here, you know, my whole life. I'm like probably a fifth generation Staten Islander. I mean, I don't hate it, but I just, you know, the expense is here. I mean, you know, we're still living for paycheck to paycheck here, you know, and what am I getting here? Nothing. Yeah, well, and the problem is, right, we can all agree that that's, thank you so much for calling in Danny, and welcome to Florida. If you do come down here, you're going to love it. I love it. I love you, New Yorkers, too. But the problem play is real. Expenses are very high in New York because of people making bad decisions about redistributive justice and regulation and government intervention and taxation, they're making it all worse. And they just elected somebody who's going to go and triple down in that area. My concern is whatever happens, even if it's bad, you know what they're going to do, Buck. Blank Trump. Yeah, of course. Yeah, we'll talk more about that. Also, the AG race in Virginia, we haven't talked about it. We will because something very upsetting from that one. We'll discuss. Vital doesn't always mean visible.
