Welcome to today's podcast, sponsored by Hillsdale College.

All things Hillsdale at Hillsdale.org.

I encourage you to take advantage of the many free online courses there.

And, of course, I'll listen to the Hillsdale Dialogues, all of them at Hugh for Hillsdale.com or just Google Apple, iTunes, and Hillsdale.

Morning and glory and evening grace from America.

I'm Hugh, and welcome inside the Rel America. I'm Hugh Hewitt.

Welcome inside the Relief Actors Studio inside the Belway.

It's draft day, so I've got my Browns tie on today, and we start with OMB Director of Russ Vote.

Now, not a lot of you will know this.

There's the AG, there's Secretary of State, there's Secretary of Defense, there's Secretary of the Treasury.

Arguably, Director of Vote is more important than all of them

because he holds the purse strings over to OMB, subject of the President's direction.

And our good friend John Campbell, Russ, Vote,

always likes to brag on this show that he knew you were a budget genius

before anyone else did.

Do you want to throw any darts at him?

I always like to throw darts at Campbell whenever possible.

I appreciate John, and those are great kind words.

And I got my Navy Blue tie on for New York Giants draft night tonight,

so I'll be watching it with you.

You know, they're going to draft five right before the Browns.

If they take Caleb Downs, I'll be very, very upset.
