Welcome in second hour. Clay and Buck kicks off now. We've got a lot of aftermath and after action reporting still coming in. Last week was Victory Week. I hope you enjoyed eating wings with blue cheese late into the night, watching a great movie or out there playing a sport with your family doing

something fun because now the fight is back in action here.

And we're trying to figure out how the Trump team is shaping up as they get going with

the beginning of term two.

Trump 2.0 going to become a reality in January.

And we also have the Democrats trying to

regroup, and they will, to be clear, you know, it's easy to get all wrapped up in the, wow,

what a sweeping victory for Trump. Trump can't run again. Trump now has to do great things

in this next term. I think he will. I'm excited for the

possibilities here, but the Republican Party is going to have to deal with a Democrat party without

Donald Trump at the head of it. No one, I think, has to be reminded. I have very high hopes for

J.D. Vance and as well as others. I think the next generation of

Republican leadership is in a very good place already, and we have a deep bench. I see Democrats

say that on TV, and then I'm like, who's on this bench exactly? It's like, what? Even for their

purposes, forget about whether I agree with them. I'm just like, that person can't win.

Kamala Harris, though, as we know, did not win.

This was an interesting moment on the TV over the weekend.

Kamala Harris's former communications director,

a guy that I worked with briefly at the Hill, Clay,

the Hill.com,

not like on Capitol Hill.

Jamal Simmons, very nice guy and very plugged in guy, I will tell you, knows.
