Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show podcast.

Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.

We go up to Washington, D.C. right now, to the Senate cloak room where Senator Rand Paul,

I wanted to ask you just right out of the top, because I think the last time I saw you was New York

And even in the state of Kentucky, which is a red state, Andy Bashir, who was wrong on virtually

everything, got reelected.
