From the historic campus of Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan, where the good, the true, and the beautiful are taught, nurtured, and honored, this is the Radio Free Hillsdale Hour, bringing the activity and education of the college to listeners across the country.

One way that people who study instruments classify it is how it produces its sound, and that means it's actually a wind instrument.

It looks like a keyboard instrument because that's how the player activates the sound compared to a piano, which might be classified more as a percussion instrument because the hammers are striking strings inside the piano.

This is your host, Scott Bertram. Welcome to the Radio Free Hillsdale Hour, part of the Hillsdale College Podcast Network. That was Dr. Derek

0:56.7

Stoff, Associate Professor of Music here at Hillsdale College. We'll talk with him later on in

1:01.9

today's program about the organ as a musical instrument. First, we're joined by Joe Concha. He's a

1:09.3

Fox News contributor and the author of two bestsellers this past decade. The new one will make it free. It's out now, the greatest comeback ever inside Trump's big, beautiful campaign. Joe, thanks so much for joining us. Thanks for having me. This is an exciting week. And when I heard you guys reached out, I'm like,

1:46.7

I've always wanted to be a part of Hillsdale. Like, can I be like a teacher there? I've always wanted to be a professor. If you'd like to come out, Joe, I know the guy who can arrange that for you. So yeah, we'll talk about it after. Go ahead. The greatest comeback ever is a wonderful walk back through the the Trump campaign, the 2024 presidential campaign. Very early on, I think

about the weaponization of the justice system and taking out your political opponents,

2:13.1

not at the ballot box, but through rogue judges and the type of trials that would exist in Washington,

2:19.6

D.C. and New York, which overwhelmingly are liberal. And once I saw they were trying to go down

2:24.9

that road, and I saw the public's reaction to it, which was to rally around Trump. I'm not saying

2:29.8

everybody did, of course, but certainly he suddenly became the victim. And that's a different kind of

2:35.4

place for Donald Trump to be. So between that and the fact that Joe Biden's brain had turned

2:40.4

to applesau some time ago, right? I mean, we're not talking at that June 27th debate that I was at

2:44.2

in Atlanta, but well before that, like during the 2020 election, we were talking about it on Fox.

2:49.3

And I'm sure you were here too. Those two
