And our new podcast, Risky Business, is a show about making better decisions.We're both journalists who moonlight as poker players, and that's the lens we're going to use to approach this entire show.
We're going to be discussing everything from high stakes poker to personal questions.
Like whether I should call a plumber or fix my shower myself.
And of course, we'll be talking about the election, too.
Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
I appreciate all of you hanging out with us on the Monday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton show as we continue to celebrate the big win of Donald Trump and also break down all of the different moving parts associated with the new administration.
We're going to be joined bottom of the hour by Eric Schmidt. Senator from Missouri who says that he is not in the running now for Attorney General.We'll find out what he thinks is likely to happen there.2.30, Riley Gaines.
Of course, these are Eastern Time.We're going to be joined by her.Buck, as I sit with all of you and look at the ongoing counting,
First of all, one thing that I would say Republicans should consider doing in this coming year is mandating that these never-ending counts in elections.
We need federal election law that, to me, mandates that you have to complete the counting in a reasonable time.As I am talking to you right now, Buck, According to the New York Times, only 72% of California votes have actually been counted.
We are now six days since the election, and nearly 30% of the ongoing vote in California is still outstanding.Arizona, 92% in, still to me not acceptable.
Every state that is continuing to count, we are fortunate that Trump won such a landslide victory, but it could still be outstanding that we don't know who the next president of the United States is going to be because Arizona and Nevada have taken forever to actually get their counts in.
With that in mind, Trump is rapidly approaching 75 million votes Kamala Harris sitting right around 71 million votes.The New York Times estimates 94.5% of the vote has been counted.They now have given Trump all 312.
He won all 7 of the battleground states.And the biggest win, as we have been telling you, for a Republican candidate since 1988. And the data on where exactly those votes have come from are starting to become more and more apparent out there.
And I want to play this for you from Harry Enten.
This is CNN's data guru talking about the rise that Trump saw with black voters and Hispanic voters and how it is unprecedented for a Republican presidential candidate to have gotten this level of support cut 12.
Trump gained ground in 49 states and the District of Columbia compared to 2020.I went back through the record books.When was the last time a party gained in so many different places?You have to go all the way back to 1992.
Trump's was the best GOP showing among 18 to 29 year olds in 20 years.You have to go all the way back to 2004.How about among black voters?It was the best performance for Republican candidate for president in 48 years.And among Hispanic voters,
The exit polls only go back since 1972, but Donald Trump's performance on Tuesday was the best for a Republican presidential candidate in exit poll history.
If the 2016 election was about Donald Trump breaking through with white working class voters, this election was about breaking through and going that Democratic coalition and tearing it apart.
Buck, I was reading the Saturday slash Sunday Wall Street Journal, the weekend edition, because they don't have both days, and they said that Trump improved his performance among men 18 to 29 by 14 points.
And so I want to put something out into the cosmos.I'm curious what your reaction to this is, Buck.I was driving home
I went and watched the sports bar, went to watch NFL games, my 14-year-old was in the car next to me, and we were talking about the 2024 election, and he said, Dad, I'll be able to vote in the next election.
And that was, for if you've got a kid around that age, that was like a holy crap moment for me, was I'll have two voting-age sons in the next election. And they both would vote for Trump.
And Buck, in the school that my kid attends, they do sort of a mock election.Trump won, boys only, Trump won 80 to 20 in his school.Their school.I think what we are seeing, and I don't know the Democrats have realized this yet,
is a political realignment with young men, the likes of which we have never seen in any of our lives.My 14 year old, if he could have voted, would have voted Trump.Most of his friends would have.
I think white, black, Asian, Hispanic, young men are breaking Republican in a way that's going to have generational impact.
i think that it's very hard for the democrats to recover when it comes to the brand on this issue let let me give an example clay because this went super viral over the weekend and it goes to exactly uh... what you're talking about on cnn they had a panel okay and there's some guy who uh... he's he's a he's a rabbi who completely loses mind and says it is a
It is a slur to say that boys should not play in girls' sports.And you might say, where's the slur?Like, where is the horrible, boys should not play in girls' sports?Oh, oh, because you're supposed to say trans girls.
should not play in girls sports well i wanna i wanna unpack this with you to second but let everyone should i want you to listen in and remember memorials on bill marshall on the woman next to me was like why are you talking about minorities and women when the topic was working-class men and look at her i said this is why com was going to lose and she did clay this moment on cnn is also why kamala lost so big and will explain why play to
I think there are a lot of families out there who don't believe boys should play girls' sports.
They're not boys.I'm not going to listen to transphobia at this table.I am not going to listen to you call a trans girl a boy.
That's just not how it is.
They're not boys.They're not boys.They're not playing girls' football.I'm not going to sit there and listen to that.
Look, this is a really heated issue, right?And sure, Michael, I know you.I know that you understand that people have different views on this.I think out of respect for Jay, like, let's try to talk about this in a way that is respectful.
OK, so let me rephrase this since I'm being targeted here.
I'm specifically saying that I know that you are not intending to be transphobic.He should know that I'm not.I want to give you an opportunity.
Regular people interpret it.That's not regular people.
That's not regular people.There's no consensus that these are actually boys.
yes there is these are boys you can say whatever you want you can dance around you can call people transphobic you can do all the things the democrats have done clay but they have male genitals they are x y chromosome they are boys and they or men and they are playing in women's sports
this is what it's not just about the transition by the way it's about the mandatory madness the mandatory delusion most people
don't really care what adults do as long as it's not illegal in the privacy of their own lives.Most people.
Some people disagree, but by and large, I don't think most people who vote Trump really care if a dude who's 28 wants to dress up in a skirt and walk around and pretend to be a woman.
As you know, that's really irrelevant now.That's not the trans movement.That's not what they want.I mean, yeah.
That's totally right and I think it's very interesting and actually Dave Chappelle started to point this out in a big way and I think you're starting to see the identity politics of this fray.Think about what gay people asked for.
By and large gay people just said hey we want the freedom to live as gay people and a lot of people said okay that that's fine.
trans people are demanding that you like that guy on that on that show that you acknowledge their lie and live your own life based on it and that this is the at some point inclusion
Becomes exclusion and that is what happens when you have a man Taking a women's championship or a women's trophy and I believe we have the democrat seth molten here Uh saying recently and he's getting ripped to shreds because you're not even allowed to say what he said Which is a position that sure michael the guy on cnn was correct on this is a 910 issue
i know sure michael he's a good guy he's he's a very he's a astute he's he's very uh you know cordial and polite in on on air and the fact that this guy is shouting over him and saying that he's used a slur it's like these are dudes if they were by the way just the notion they have to call them trans girls clay
You just call them girls.There's something different here.I'm sorry.We have to acknowledge reality.But to your point about Seth Moulton, he just let's play.
This is cut.This is this is Democrats are coming to grips with their loss.And Seth Moulton, Democrat congressman, said this.
One of the consensus views that I've been hearing is that kids play sports all the time.Right.I mean, I got little kids who are just on soccer teams and everything, and that's totally normal.It's been fine for generations.
But it's very different when you get to competitive sports at the college level, for example.
And I've heard anecdotes from parents who've reached out to me over the past several days who share these concerns, who think it's just unfair that transgender women or men are able to compete against their daughters.
And so that's the debate that we really have to have.And I think there are some reasonable questions about what's fair from a competitiveness perspective and also what's safe at those levels.
I think he said, and I don't know if we can get this, he also said, I've got two daughters and I don't want them getting run over, I'm paraphrasing him, on the field by a dude.
And again, I'm paraphrasing him, but this is something that is so fundamentally broken that I think a lot of these young boys,
are looking around these young men as they become 18 years old and they say the democrat party is filled with a bunch of people lecturing me about things that i don't believe are true it ties in remember the girl we had call i think her name was maddie from utah saying she had voted for the first time college kid and she was still angry over what had happened because of kovid
I think it's the combination of a lot of these kids, imagine, just think about this.You're playing a sport, you're 16, and suddenly your season gets shut down.You don't get to go to prom.You don't get to even finish your school year.
And you look around and you're like, wait a minute, who were the people that were hectoring me, that were lecturing me, telling me, oh, a man pretending to be a woman is a woman.And, oh, you've gotta have a mask on.
You've gotta play basketball wearing a mask. It's all Democrats.And young men are finally rebelling against this.And Buck, I don't think this is going away.
I think in 28, the young male movement towards Republicans is going to be even more pronounced than it was in 24.And this is important generationally because usually men and women don't become more liberal as they age.
So if you've got 18 and 20 year old men who are saying, I'm all in for Trump, we got to bring back sanity to this country.I don't think when they're 40 buck, they're suddenly going to be saying, hey, you know what?We were wrong.
Turns out dudes pretending to be chicks are chicks.Democrats have a major problem here, and it's getting worse.It's not getting better.
you know when when you have a party that as part of its it's it's fundamental philosophy uh... demands lies from people it really it it has a corrosive effect on a lot of what they believe that that this is the problem right because because it was democrats who were cutting holes in masks so the oval players in flute players in high school
I don't even know how that is supposed to work with COVID, but this was, they were cutting holes in masks so that you could blow on your oboe, that's what they do, and not get COVID, and it was mandatory.
I mean, all these Lib airline attendants or stewardesses or whatever were shouting at me to pull my mask up faster between bites.They were all Democrats who were doing this.
somehow there's something emotionally psychologically that had burrowed deep in the democrat party and made these people nuts it is democrats that say things like it's a slur to say boys shouldn't play girl sports no it's an objective observation of reality and even bill maher and other democrats are saying guys you gotta stop being so crazy okay you've gotta stop and no doubt i'm kinda hoping
I was just going to say, Buck, think about the lecturing and also we should mention the host of that CNN show chastised that Jermichael guy on the argument for even saying that they were not... I mean, this is sure.
Michael is a good man.I'm a Texan right now.Let's see if we get your Michael to join us sometime this week and tell us what it's like to be a sure Michael.You know, we already had one buddy band and Clay's been banned.Sure.
Michael better watch out and not say that a man is a man on CNN or else he might get in a lot of trouble.
I'll text or. or a boy's a boy, a girl's a girl.I know it's crazy, crazy take.Police Sergeant Christopher Fitzgerald of the Temple University Police Department sustained fatal gunshot wounds while attempting to arrest a robbery suspect.
Thanks to caring friends like you, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation was able to provide a mortgage-free home to his wife, Marissa, and their five children in honor of their forever hero.
Christopher's love for law enforcement was inspired by his parents, who both proudly served as Philadelphia police officers. Prior to his premature passing, Christopher was nominated for Temple University Police Department Officer of the Year.
Sadly, it's an award he received posthumously.He'll be remembered by many for his passion and determination to make his own name in life while improving conditions for residents in the surrounding community and Temple University stakeholders.
It's heroes like Christopher who protect and serve our communities and our nation. Help heroes like Christopher and their families.Donate $11 a month to Tunnel of the Towers at T2T.org.That's T, the number two, T.org.

welcome back in the clay and bach i was talking about uh... my friend michael singleton who was on cnn and he he committed the grave sin of saying that a boy is a boy and boy shouldn't playing girls sports because you're not allowed to call them boys it's a slur no it's not actually reality stuff rally to be tough thing for some democrats these days uh... and that includes journals are shorthand for the journalists who are having a tough one here clay because they decided to go all in with
exaggerating as you know trump is a hitler which is both moronic and really offensive as well for anybody who knows anything about hitler the holocaust world war two uh... it's insane it's an unhinged thing uh... but the journals are having a little soul searching moment here maybe are they well here is one of the washington post columnist katherine rampell i am not a democrat sir play for
He just won a mandate from the American people to execute on the program that he laid out in this election.It wasn't particularly close.And I think he ought to put people in place who are going to do it.That's what the people of Alaska are for.
That's not what he ran on.That's not what he ran on.Look at what he said in the past week.He literally said that he was going to exact vengeance.You still don't understand how you lost.He ran on immigration.I'm not a Democrat.He ran on immigration.
Don't say me, Clay.I'm not a Democrat.I'm a journalist.That doesn't work anymore.
Only morons or deluded people believe that.Did that not sound to you, Buck, like Lunchroom, when all the girls at the lunchroom are mad at one guy or something, and the guy's trying to defend himself, and they all just start yapping back at him?
Scott Jennings, let me just say this, he's been on the show.If CNN really cared about trying to go and serve the entire voting public, they would give Scott Jennings his own show.
Because I think he's the most talented TV person that CNN has on right now.
They probably won't, because they'd be afraid of what people might say about it, but I think he would host an actually interesting show on CNN, and if they cared about growing audience, they would do that.
i'm gonna start to think they've got to go back in there you know cracks and knuckles cracks and skulls i don't know i think about have fun with it i'll think about it the markets investors reacted very well the news of president trump's reelection and wall street veterans is no surprise one wall street veteran took notice of a change in some processes made available this past friday he's a guy who knows things that just aren't generally known that's why he's able make moves in the markets for half a century big upside

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show we are joined now by Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt been fighting a lot of battles with big tech he's been on the program several different times.Appreciate you joining us, Senator.
You had some news that came out a little bit earlier today about the Attorney General position, and I saw you tweet about it, but for our audience out there, what have you decided as it pertains to potentially joining Trump's cabinet?
Well, first of all, thanks for the Rick Astley bumper music on the way in.I do appreciate that as a Jim, near and dear to my heart.
Yeah, it was an honor to be considered for the AG position, but I talked to the transition folks and had my name withdrawn from consideration for that really important role, because I think it's important for me to serve up my term in the United States Senate.
President Trump needs you know, actual real America first fighters in the Senate who are going to move this agenda forward.I mean, he got a mandate on Tuesday, but we actually have to deliver on that.
And I think that's the, that's the place for me to go do that.So I'll have a role with, uh, judges picking some judges.Um, and then also once we get back into Congress next year of trying to deliver here.So that's the right place for me.
And again, it was an honor to be considered and mentioned, but, uh, this is the right thing I think right now.
Do you know who the AG might be?Do you give an endorsement as you step out?What do you think about that role and who might get it?
Well, it's an important one in that, you know, there's some names that are out there and I don't want to get too far ahead of the president on any of that, but, uh, I'm always willing to, to sort of weigh in.
And I, and I do intend to, to, to be helpful, um, between now and in January and then beyond.I mean, there's a lot of things to do.There's a lot of important positions.AG is one of them. There's going to be a lot of judges to fill.
That's another thing that a lot of people aren't talking about yet.He's going to have an opportunity again to sort of remake the federal judiciary and continue to put judges who interpret the law as it's written, not how they want it to be.
The people that Joe Biden is picking here now are just activists, many of which have no experience at all, but they just want to deliver the results.And that's really not what it's for.So he's got a, he's got a great opportunity.
I think here, he's going to put together an incredible cabinet.I know that.
What do you think about the possibility of some major appointment, Senator, happening in a recess that is essentially preplanned so that that can happen without the intransigence and the obstruction that Trump faced in 2016 when he was being slowed down and prevented in ways that were
bordering on just absurd to prevent him from getting the people that he wanted in those key roles.
Would you agree that's the way forward, or do you think that with regular order the Democrats will fall in line enough that it won't make that much of a difference and there can be the speeches and the votes and all the rest of it to get through nominations?
I think the recess appointments, he's put that out there, I think it's a good idea.I think we should move forward on it.I also think that if we're pretty clear when we get up there that we've got the numbers, we've got the majority, and we're united,
We can accomplish all these things, and I tell you, the Democrats are good at this when they get these sort of opportunities, and that's exactly what we have to do.
I mean, and President Trump was really clear about what he wants to do, I mean, in addition to the appointments, but we're going to secure the border, we're going to be energy dominant, we're going to have an economy that works for real people and working people,
And we're going to be respected around the world.All of those things can happen.
And by, by the way, the 94 executive orders that Joe Biden undid when president, when they got into office that, you know, turned around all the successes we had at a 45 year low in illegal immigration, when Trump left, I fully expect him coming in and doing that.
The remain in Mexico policy was incredibly effective.I fully anticipate that coming back on board and then whatever we need to backfill legislatively to give them additional authorities, we can do that.
And then on the permitting and on the leasing, a lot of these things can be done when you've got the White House.But I will tell you one thing to sort of look out for.
A lot of those tax cuts that came into play in 2017 for middle class families and small businesses, those all expire at the end of 2025.And so we can move those things, get those permanently extended.And here's the sort of in the weeds.
We can do that by way of a process of reconciliation where you don't need 60 votes. You just need 51 votes in the Senate.And so I think we do that on tax reform.
One of the things that I'm going to advocate for is regulatory reform as well, because there's a lot of budget savings, which is the key, that can come by way of regulatory reform that we ought to have in that in that bill.
So I would anticipate we'll spend a lot of time on that, too, coming back.
We're talking to Senator Eric Schmidt of Missouri.Big decision Wednesday as to who the Senate Majority Leader will be.I believe Wednesday is the vote.There are three known finalists out there, Thune, Cornyn, and Scott.
Have you made your decision about how you will vote?How would you assess the horse race, so to speak, of the Wednesday decision on Senate Majority Leader?
It's hard to know.I'm not sure any of the three of them who I'm talking to all the time Uh, no either actually where the votes are all at.Uh, I think the input that you get from, from, um, folks back home is all good.
Um, but I'm wait, I'm hearing all of them out.And I mean that sincerely, like I'm talking to people literally today, there's a candidate forum tomorrow.What is it?
Monday, tomorrow night, when we get back up there, I think there's a lot of people who still haven't made their mind up.And here's, what's important to me.And this is what I communicate.And I'm just, again, wanting to hear what the response is.
I want an agenda. that is reflective of what the American people want, what they voted for on Tuesday, right?
I will tell you my first two years up there, the biggest disappointment often is that the conversations in Washington are so detached from what people really talk about at home.
Like, you know, when people say the most important thing that we need to do is send another $60 billion to Ukraine, Literally nobody in Missouri has ever told me that.
No, not one person has said, Eric, that's the most important thing you can do when you go up to Washington.But in our lunches, in just sort of that cocoon that people live in, in DC, that is a lot of the conversation.
So I want an agenda that's reflective of what real people want.And also there's some reform.These omnibus bills at midnight where two or three people are writing the bill, people don't read them and you vote them.That has to end.
Like, let's do individual appropriations bills.Let's have real amendments.I think that's what people think we do up there, but a lot of it's kabuki theater and very scripted, and that has to change.
So those are the two things that I'm talking about, you know, with the people who are running.
Do you think that there, Senator, is any appetite for?Well, I'll just say it for deciding that the filibuster as a means to prevent Trump's agenda from being achieved may have to be something that, as Trump would say, you're going to look at.
Well, I think everything's sort of on the table, but I think one of the big concerns, of course, is that the Democrats have run on this specifically if the filibuster is going to pack the court.
you know, to pack the court, add state to the union, federalize elections, and grant amnesty to 15 million people.So I think everything can be on the table.We ought to think about it.But also, if you did it, what would you do?
What are the Democrats willing to do, right?So there's not, I don't think, any real discussion about that right now.But again, I think that moving forward, we have to be able to deliver, I think, for the American people.
Senator, right now, California has only counted about 72% of its overall ballots.You mentioned federal elections.We're fortunate that Trump won by such a substantial majority that the Electoral College wasn't thrown into question.
But Nevada, Arizona, it's taken them forever to count. How do we go back to elections being decided in at least 24 hours?Because it certainly seems to a lot of us like we're going back in time and now count votes slower than we did in the 1800s.
Yeah, my hope, honestly, guys, is that this system, it doesn't help anybody.OK, so just take yourself out of our red and blue jerseys for a minute.Idea that you don't know for a week who won. is insane.It doesn't happen anywhere in the world.
It only furthers the belief in the distrust, right, in our system, and that just has to change.
Now, I think that there are probably some things you can do on the federal level, but as Republicans who sort of adopted this position that this should be, this is a state decision, right, like how you run the elections, the states sort of decide these things,
But what you're starting to see what the Democrats want to do is have federal laws that don't allow you to have voter ID.You know, like those are the sorts of things that they want to do.I don't think even in Democrat states, this is a good thing.
So I think persuasion is a piece of it.I think photo ID, one of the things that we can do on a federal level, which we should do, which is the SAVE Act, which is to make sure that illegal immigrants aren't voting in our elections.
For the people who tell you it's already illegal, you don't need to do anything.Well, it's also illegal to be here illegally, but people do it.
And once you get a driver's license, which you can get as an illegal immigrant, all you got to do at the DMV is just say yes when they ask you, do you want to register to vote?
No one really checks it after that unless there's something crazy that happens.So there are some things we should do. But this wasn't controversial, guys, even just like a decade ago.There was the Carter-Baker Commission.They had ten recommendations.
Many of them were, same day, you know, make sure you have the election results come in that day, have voter ID.If you're going to have mail-in balloting, make sure you have signature verification.
I think that maybe the Democrats, if they learned their lesson, these crazy positions they've taken have been rejected by the American people, and they come back a little bit, but we'll see.
We're talking to Senator Schmidt of Missouri and one more for you, Senator.
It seems like Chuck Schumer is playing some games here, not allowing Dave McCormick, who is clearly, by the vote of the people of Pennsylvania, going to be the next senator from that state.But he's not being invited to orientation by Schumer.
What the heck is going on?
He's being a baby.That's what's going on.Just take the L, move on.The APs called it. I and Mike Lee and some others have offered to escort Mr. McCormick to his orientation if that is necessary.
All of this is just, well, you guys have to understand, and you know, and your listeners probably to some degree, Chuck Schumer is a total control freak.Like, this guy consolidates power and wants to execute it.
He can't handle the fact that he lost, one of his incumbents lost in a state like Pennsylvania, so he's just throwing kind of a temper tantrum. David McCormick has every right to be there.
The people of Pennsylvania deserve to have their senator understand where, like, the bathrooms are and get their letterhead together and start to get, you know, phone lines operating for constituent issues.
So these are the things that you start to do in that orientation, because, you know, I was there two years ago.There's a lot.I mean, it's a new gig.It's a new town.You've got to hire staff, and we want to make sure that he gets off to a good start.
So I'm confident that he'll be there, and if he needs somebody to help him get in the door, I'll be happy to help.
centers may appreciate you sir thanks for being with us architecture one of the takeaways most recent election is the importance of fighting for what we believe in never giving up and doing what we can today today uh... and that is so critical even when it comes to the fight for life my friends it has to be a day-to-day thing it's something that we try to

The House of Representatives, Trump has not only won the popular vote, only won 80% of counties going for Trump from the previous election.
He's going to have a nice Senate majority by a few seats, going to have a House majority to go along with it, almost certainly. and it means that the agenda can be enacted in powerful ways.Take some of your VIP emails here.

Yes, I had pizza, fried oysters, martinis, margaritas, Negronis.I can't celebrate much more.I will have gained five pounds, but it has been fun.Thank you, Clay and Buck.Clay, I celebrated Trump Victory Week out at the shooting range on Saturday.
I had a lot of fun.You, sir, were at a game of the football.What were you doing?
I did.I went to South Carolina Vanderbilt, but it was my 20th law school reunion. So I got to hang out with a lot of people that I hadn't seen legitimately in 20 years.It was cool.
Laura was in my law school class, so she enjoyed, my wife enjoyed being able to see everybody too.And I can't believe that it's been 20 years since I graduated from law school is passed in a flash.And I was talking about earlier, Buck, I also
went and watched with my 14-year-old football games on Sunday at a local sports bar and it's also staggering to me that I have by the time we'll have another election I'll have two adult sons which is just it threw me for a total loop when my 14-year-old I just hadn't done the math was like hey you know dad I'll be able to vote in the next election
And I was just in disbelief by the fact that by 2028, I'll have two adult sons, which is pretty crazy.Indeed.
Patrick writes in, Clay and Buck, love your show and the respect you give all veterans.I can say this for most veterans and active service personnel.We received the best gift honor from our country this Veterans Day.Donald J. Trump. with the big win.
Liam writes, being a Marine, I went to a Veterans Day breakfast.I got to have breakfast with a Navy vet who turned 104 today.Oh, what an honor.He served in the Korean War on a destroyer.We said the Pledge of Allegiance first time in a long time.
And what a simple message for us.One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.Let's hope we get it back.Love the show.Keep up the fight.Liam, thank you for your service.
And can you imagine sitting down with somebody who fought in the Korean War?
Buck, I told you in my neighborhood, 98-year-old went and voted for Trump, fought in World War II.I mean, for you and I who are history buffs, there are so few individuals remaining who served.
And that's why I watched a lot of the D-Day anniversary, 70th anniversary, just from this past June.
But I would imagine if you're of that age and you were able to watch Trump win, the vast, vast majority of veterans who are certainly who fought in World War II and in Korea, I would imagine voted Trump.
And so I think a lot of them in their elderly age probably are super, super excited to think about what's going to happen in January.
Phil, VIP Phil, still basking in the glow, Clay and Buck.As Joe would say, not a joke, true story.Indeed, my friends, it is not a joke and it is a true story that Donald Trump has won a massive victory.But we're going to turn our sights here.
