Technology, and the changing landscape of political talk shows. This is almost an hour and a half. Thank you very much. Good morning. I was just sitting here with ryan kill me kilmeade. The long island guys are well represented here this morning. I work right down the block here, a couple blocks away so it isnt easy john job this morning to come in and say hello. I was looking through some stuff the last couple of days and everyone is talking about radio. It is amazing the amount of negativity no matter what part of the business that you are in. I have in part of wfan since 1987. I have been in the same job since 1989. Kind of warring. Same time, same station. I used had a partner, i lost him about somewhere along the way. I look up and he was gone. I think he is working. I sent out notes. He is doing fine on a different part in doing a baseball show. All you read now is consolidation leads to death clusters, which to me is a dirty word, cut tax nobody has a good word for radio anymore
It is out there. I will not discuss that today. I would like to but i will not. The point is, it is hard now, it is much more fun and i am a big the lever although we have sean and so many people who have done so well and have built really and industries in brilliant businesses doing network radio. My has always been live in local and immediate. I have always liked this small city here as my home turf. I think of it as my home. My point is that it has changed. It is not going to change back.

We want his resignation and not only that, but we know with him gone, his entire legacy will not be gone and we have a lot of work to do beyond him leaving. Everything from the terrible conditions in the jails and human right violations to the racist practices on parole to what he has symbolized and the trend he has set for the entire nation and what he represents for a very rabidly racist, conservative base in arizona and across the country. Many of the people who give him money are across the country, not just in arizona. You would be shocked to see how much money people put in to his campaign. We want him to be gone. We want justice for all his victims in terms of people like jose, like catherine and her parents and the thousands of lives he has devastated. We want tent city shut down. We want an arpaiofree az.
