You're listening to the best of the men back broken.

Hi, Mike. How are you?

Doing great. It's so good to be back on your show. Thank you very much.

You're welcome. So, seriously, I know we have to pick a woman for some unknown reason.

Is this exchange out of the realm of possibility with you?

Well, not at the next 72 hours. That sounds a little hasty.

Okay. All right. So, Mike, I want to talk to you about the vacancy.

What's going on? Ted said that he has concerns of anybody that is nominated,

because we always screw this up. Is there anybody on this short list that you feel is a real home run?

Yeah, look, I think it's going to be an Amy Coney Barrett.

I could be wrong. I don't think I'm going to be. I think it's going to be her.

And I think she would be a fantastic Supreme Court justice.

I think she'll be a textualist and originalist.

She'll be devoted to the cause of constitutional and limited government. That's what we need.

So, who would you compare her to? Who do you think she's going to be more like?

She will be in the mold of her former boss, Justice Scalia.

And in the mold of Justice Alito, my former boss and in the mold of Justice Thomas,

she'll be somewhere in that room. Wait, just as Thomas. Oh, Clarence Thomas.

I was thinking Roberts. I thought you said Roberts there for some.

Oh, no, no.

Yeah, good. Very different story.

It's going to be somewhere between Roberts and Hans Galia.
