We'll get rid of him for you.

And then they say, oh, thanks so much.

We're really we're really glad that you did that for us.

It's not like we both faced off against the plague.

He was the one who was trying to kill you off.

I mean, that's so Harry Reid.

You talk about, you know, sort of mutual respect and him or even grudging respect while he's actively trying to kill your career and remove and successfully removing you from the airwaves in Nevada.

Yeah, I'd pay to be a fly on the wall hearing, even if it was just to hear him rip you.

for whatever it is he was going to object to in the book.

Well, John, I would be remiss if I didn't ask you just a couple of closing questions about Nevada.

I mean, you know, Reid famously built a formidable political machine in Nevada that could make or break candidates that, you know, turned Nevada blue for four straight presidential elections, starting with Obama in 2008.

But of course, Nevada went for Trump in 2024.

I got to ask if the if the machine still exists, if Democrats are still drafting off of what Harry Reid did in Nevada or whether they've been able to build something on their own.

Are you sensing any buyer's remorse in Nevada in terms of the vote for Trump in the for the presidency last year?

Yeah.

And I think – I mean, honestly, I think people are going to be reading the book, your book, which, again, is called The Game Changer.

People are going to be looking at that book to think about the nuts and bolts tactics about how Reid was able to do it.

And, I mean, Nevada's changed, but it hasn't changed that much.

And nobody ever mastered its politics the way that he did.

Let me ask you one last question, John.
