Bang, happy Friday.

Very chippy.

We're getting ready for a huge stand-up event tomorrow night in Springfield, Missouri.

There's a couple tickets left at Fox Across America.com.

And then we go on the road to, my goodness gracious.

We're going to St. Louis.

We're going to Buffalo.

We're going to Des Moines, Iowa, May 2nd.

Omaha, Nebraska, May 9th. Reno, Nevada, May 23rd. Reno, if you're listening on KKFT, KSVL, you know it is lovely this time of year. You know, the pawn shops are just starting to bloom. They've got all that good farm to table meth. I mean, there's a lot to look for. I love Reno. I love Rino. I love Sparks. My favorite steakhouse in the

world is out there. We'll get into that later in the hour. But as we begin, it is with the words of

Iran's leadership is in no better shape.

Desperate and hiding, they've gone underground.

Cowering.

That's what rats do.

Now, to be clear, Iranian leadership did respond to Hegsseth's comments.

Here's a statement.

Oh!

Oh, no, no.
