Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday's with Trey. This is a treat for me. I have long

enjoyed watching and listening to our next guest. In fact, last night when my wife asked me who

was on the podcast and I told her, first words out of her mouth were, I really like him when I'm

sitting there thinking, well, honey, he's on the other team. He's like, he was a democratic

congress, but she didn't care. And to that point, I don't know whether he and I agree, well,

we probably don't agree on every issue or maybe even most, but he does have a persuasive way

about himself. And he does not engage in ad hominin attacks, even though he's in a line of work

that seems to sometimes reward those who do. He's the former congressman from the great state of

Tennessee. And he'd like me as an average sports fan. So with that, welcome, Mr. Harold Ford Jr. How

are you? Brother, thanks for having me. And so your wife, thank you. I'm married into a Republican

family. And my wife has become a little more Democrat, but my in laws remain staunchly

Republican, but they they tolerate me too. So I'm not sure. I mean, I don't know anyone who

follows politics less than my wife does, but I think she does watch when I'm on. So she sees you

on Brett's panel and she sees you when you're kind enough to come on our show. And I

actually think she speaks for a lot of people. They just they like you personally. It is very,

very hard to not like Harold Ford Jr. personally. I tell you, one of the things in politics,

as you know, and first of all, you you're someone that we didn't get a chance to serve together,

but I watched when watch you in Congress and watch how you conducted yourself. And I was not there

at the time. And I thought for one of one of the great treats of being at Fox now is having a chance

to make make new friends and acquaintances. And I always felt like I knew you because we served

in the same place all the way. We're not there together. Meeting you has been a one of the treats

and one of the joys of being at the network. And I think you said it really well. They outside.
