And it did not disappoint. I don't I think that might have been the longest one we've done.

Maybe maybe tie with Stephen Crowder and I have a feeling it's going to do just as well because that episode did really well.

Anyway, she was amazing. We talked about everything. This is a woman who has been through it all. You know came up, spent her career at CBS for you know I think she said 16 or 18 years and was put through the ringer between what she's you know disclosed very publicly and it was a major news event when it happened.

1:42.0

We'll get into that in detail. I don't I have never heard her talk about it in this much detail with anybody to who at 60 minutes sold her up the river and who didn't what she thinks about where we are in terms of the media today what we're going to get into Fauci.

2:54.0

You know it's I mean look at it even happened to Christian right I mean come into the network you know and then get cut down at the knees.

3:06.0
