That was running for president and in the polls can call him. Lindsey graham is the only person who took us up on it. I know yeah, everybody gets intoes they president ial campaigns and tighten up. Im not saying youre tightening up. Even a guy i said publicly i was supporting was afraid to call into the show. Donald wasnt. He called in. Yeah. The book is let me im going to let you finish. Yeah, the book is let me finish trump, the kushners, bannon, jersey and the power of in your face politics.
