from the fox news radio studios in midtown manhattan it's the fastest growing radio talk show

brian kilmead good morning it is not brian kilmead it is your humble correspondent, Griff Jenkins, sitting in for the one and only Brian Kill Me today coming to you from Washington, D.C., in the belly of the beast, if you will, in the swamp. And I'm sitting in the Tony Snow radio show in Washington. I've said this before, but for listeners that have not heard me say it,

it is always not only the greatest honor to be sitting in the Tony Snow Radio Studio,

which is a show that I started with Fox as Tony Snow's producer.

He was a great man, a great radio broadcaster, but also to be in a radio studio because in the 90s I had

started the Oliver North radio show, Common Sense Radio for America, we called it. And I have never

felt more comfortable in any environment than in a radio studio and behind a radio mic. So it is a

great honor, a great privilege to be sitting in for Brian who has the day off.

We can talk about anything and everything under the sun. Just a quick backdrop, though.

I started in radio in the 90s. And I remember in the days of Rush Limbaugh was King, the Great Rush.

And we would listen to it and take our cues sometimes from the direction he would take it.

And he talked about the cuts and trying to rein in government and making our federal government for the American people.

He would find instances of waste, fraud, and abuse, just one single thing that

Elon Musk and Doge has found, and it would be a topic for a week long on Rush, and then on

Sean Hannity's show, and he was rising in the radio ranks, and on Allie's radio show, and then

later even on Tony Snow's show. And it's fascinating now to have been this young kid producing radio at a time when the only people that were really talking about putting America first and doing the things that President Trump and this administration is doing now, to have heard it back then, 25 years ago, and now to see in just the first 100 days of President Trump's second administration, seeing the really dynamic, bold moves, it's quite, but whether you agree with it or not, it is bold and it is going to have

long-lasting impacts on people and all of us that have been around the conservative movement

and conservative radio for years and years. It's something to really sit back and marvel at

to say, wow, they, they actually, someone actually got it done.

It actually happened.

And it's no, no knock on people like Newt Gingrich in the contract with America.

And in those days when, you know, they were trying to do it, but they didn't reign in
