Sean is out today but he's agreed to call us to talk about this and I think we we have

to start the program.

Sean with acknowledging the fact that we've lost a great one.

Jay by the way thanks thanks for doing the show on your good friend.

You know what's amazing and I'm all these years we did this show together.

Do you know every single conservative friend of mine you included.

Laura Ingraham included Bill Cunningham included.

I mean I can't tell you the number of my friends on my that agree with me politically that

just knew the guy that I knew together that I worked with together.

An amazing human being and you know when we started this show Jay when Fox News went

on the air in October 1996 nobody I mean nobody thought we had a shot.

He the one of us had a lot of TV experience and every single day you know we were working

on really just trying to hold our own and survive in those early years and and the amazing

thing was that even though we had political disagreements he got along with all of my

friends and you know you always say to me you know your friends always treat me better

than my friends treat you and maybe it was a tribute to him over me but he was an amazing

amazing guy. He had a wit a sense of humor a quickness and more importantly I mean he was

he was somebody that loved free speech I'll tell you that we had him when we're privileged

to have him come down and join us at Regent University for a symposium where he was

one of the guests and he was just phenomenal.

I mean this was a guy that loved free speech and did not mind as you said Sean speaking

to an audience that didn't agree with them and they walked away maybe not agreeing certainly
