All right, happy Friday. Glad you are with us eight hundred nine four one. Sean, you want to be a part of the program.

By the way, I want to say thanks to rush last night. It was his 31st anniversary and he was on Hannity.

I mean, I'm getting the early numbers were massive in terms of viewership, but more importantly, you know, I said it last night when he started

Linda we know less than 200 talk stations. Talk and news talk is the number one format in all of radio and a lot of it. He's a trailblazer man.

He started at all. You know what I do stand. I said this last night. I said I do seek similarities with Trump and Russian in this regard and rush kind of dismissed that we don't we don't need

To get elected. We don't need 50% of people to for us to be successful and he's right about that. But

being a conservative on radio TV and the qualities that I want now more than ever. And I don't see in Republicans enough.

Is I want people that say what they mean mean what they say. And I want people that you gotta be able if you're gonna jump in this arena.

You have to be able to take a hard punch. You just do if you can't you're in the wrong business.

And so many I'm just gonna stick with Republicans with Democrats are just as bad. They just to get to Washington. Maybe with the greatest intentions and all the great promises.

And then they get hit the first time and it's like they submit

That tap it out and I'm like what happened to you? You know, we know what a perfect example that is is sassy ass over in Nebraska. That guy had so much promise and look at what a jerky's turned out to be.

And frankly, we went to bat for him and I'm embarrassed I went to bat for that guy after what he's done.

And the similarities with Russian Trump are they both have absorbed many many many punches.

And Russian the early years in talk rate just took them all. And it made it easier for guys like me to follow and mark the great one.

Mark Levin and others and there's so many local guys Lars and I can't mention at Joe Pags if I don't mention everybody people get mad at me. I love you all.

And even people that hate me. There's some people in this business. They can't get over the competitive nature of the business. They just hate you. They just whatever.

I want them to succeed if they're if they're gonna be a spoke in the wheel that advances conservatism. I'm in. I don't care what you say about me. I'm not about me.

It's about the country. It's about us. It's about you know, the if you ever see have you ever witnessed somebody get hit as hard as often as Donald Trump.

Well, that was Russian the early days, but the thing is Trump just fights hard every single day. He gives a hundred and fifty percent every single day. The thing I would say to my kids when they were young.

And playing sports is I never said you have to win. Never that never came out of my mouth. But I always wanted two things. I wanted effort. I wanted a full effort.

And a good attitude about it. Win or lose. And you know, it's sports is mirror's life in a lot of ways, especially individual sports.
