Show notes

David Horton and Clay discuss the likelihood of a calm transfer of power during and after the November midterm elections. Does anyone believe there will be no allegations of election rigging, of votes by undocumented workers, or charges of election fraud in a few weeks? Time will tell, but Clay and David make a few careful predictions before the election. They also discuss Clay's recent cultural tour of Thomas Jefferson's France — Paris, Dijon, Nimes, the Pont du Gard, and the celebrated Canal du Midi that connects the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. France highly regards Jefferson as one of America's greatest ambassadors. Was the French Revolution in any way a cousin to the American Revolution a little more than a decade earlier? And why was Thomas Jefferson so cheerful about bloody revolution? This episode was recorded on October 17, 2026.
