Speaker 1: Life Audio.
0:04
Speaker 2: Hey Ainsley, thanks for joining me.
0:06
Speaker 1: Hey Michael, thank you for having me.
0:07
Speaker 2: Angeley Earhart, co host of Fox News Channel Spots at Friends,
0:11
Speaker 2: and hosts of Fox Nations, Ainsley's Bible Study, and the
0:15
Speaker 2: author of the new book America I'm So Glad You
0:18
Speaker 2: Were Born, illustrated of course by Cambarnes Releases Junior Second
0:21
Speaker 2: Thories under Kids. It's a picture book that celebrates America. Ainsley.
0:24
Speaker 2: This is not your first children's book. I've enjoyed others
0:27
Speaker 2: as well. What inspired you to write this book, America
0:30
Speaker 2: I'm So Glad You were born? And why does this
0:31
Speaker 2: message resonate so strongly right now in the nation.
0:35
Speaker 1: Well, it resonates now because we're about to embark on
0:38
Speaker 1: America two fifty our birthday, our anniversary. So we're a
0:42
Speaker 1: young nation two hundred and fifty years ago, just a
0:45
Speaker 1: few generations back, our founding fathers were writing the Declaration
0:49
Speaker 1: of Independence in the Constitution and informing America and fighting
0:52
Speaker 1: for America. So we want to teach our children about
0:56
Speaker 1: our values, our core mission, what their mission was. We
0:59
Speaker 1: want to live by their standards, and this is an
1:02
Speaker 1: opportunity for us to share that with children and teach
1:06
Speaker 1: them all about America and what freedom really means. And
1:09
Speaker 1: the book was inspired because my third children's book was
1:12
Speaker 1: called I'm so Glad you were born. It's something my
1:15
Speaker 1: mom used to say to us on our birthdays, and
1:17
Speaker 1: I no longer have my mom here, and that came
1:19
Speaker 1: out when right before she was dying. So it ended
1:23
Speaker 1: up being being really sweet and very special, and it
1:26
Speaker 1: was successful, and a lot of people love to say
1:29
Speaker 1: that to their children now, which makes me thrilled. Look
1:32
Speaker 1: at my mother's words are living on in the lives
1:34
Speaker 1: of other people. And a birthday is very important, you know,
1:37
Speaker 1: Jesus's birthday was important. All of our birthdays are important
1:40
Speaker 1: because we were created in His image and we have
1:43
Speaker 1: God has a big plan for our lives. And my
1:46
Speaker 1: daughter God blessed me so much the day that she
1:49
Speaker 1: was born, and so on her birthday I always tell her,
1:51
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you were born. In fact, go I
1:52
Speaker 1: tell her that all the time. But then when we
1:55
Speaker 1: were talking about ways to celebrate America two fifty, I thought,
1:59
Speaker 1: what a great way to tell children, we are so
2:02
Speaker 1: glad America was born. So it's called America, I'm so
2:06
Speaker 1: glad you were born. Some of the themes are still
2:09
Speaker 1: in this new book, like bang the drums loudly and
2:12
Speaker 1: blow the brass horn and scream I'm so glad you
2:16
Speaker 1: were born, those kinds of things. But it's children and
2:18
Speaker 1: a parade, and they have their instruments because we used
2:21
Speaker 1: to have dance parties in my apartment with my daughter.
2:24
Speaker 1: We had a big bucket tupperware of all those you know,
2:28
Speaker 1: the tambourines and the drums and all the things that
2:31
Speaker 1: the little children love to play with and the symbols,
2:33
Speaker 1: and we would run around our apartment playing music and
2:36
Speaker 1: having a dance party, and so we wanted to incorporate
2:39
Speaker 1: that in the first book. So that's incorporated in this
2:41
Speaker 1: book as well. And the little Girl, the little girls
2:44
Speaker 1: and the little boys in the book are on the
2:47
Speaker 1: floats and on the parades, and they're because we have
2:49
Speaker 1: memories of doing that when we were little. For Fourth
2:51
Speaker 1: of July at the beach or this one street in
2:54
Speaker 1: South Carolina and Spartanburg. I have great memories of decorating
2:58
Speaker 1: the floats and the cars and at the beach, they
3:02
Speaker 1: everyone gets in the back of pickup trucks. The kids
3:04
Speaker 1: do and they have super soaker guns and everyone lines
3:07
Speaker 1: the streets and then the kids are in the back
3:08
Speaker 1: of the trucks and they shoot all the adults that
3:10
Speaker 1: are sitting in their beach chairs along the side of
3:14
Speaker 1: the street. That happens at a little beach in South Carolina.
3:18
Speaker 1: That's always fun. It's just the blast for the adults too,
3:21
Speaker 1: because it's just cute to see the little kids get
3:23
Speaker 1: so excited. So that's incorporated in the book. The Stars
3:26
Speaker 1: and the Stripes and banging the drums and Land of
3:29
Speaker 1: the Free and Home of the Brave. Their message is
3:32
Speaker 1: about the military and messages of voting, how important it
3:36
Speaker 1: is to vote and have that voice, and to live
3:39
Speaker 1: in a republic. And we don't live under a king.
3:41
Speaker 1: We had to kick the king out and we no
3:43
Speaker 1: longer wanted to be under the king's rule. And so
3:47
Speaker 1: thanks to George Washington and the Continental Army, we are
3:50
Speaker 1: a free nation. Anything can is possible, and all your
3:54
Speaker 1: dreams can come true here.
3:56
Speaker 2: Like you said, it tackles a lot of issues in
3:58
Speaker 2: just a few pages. It emphasizes equality, celebrates freedom of speech,
4:01
Speaker 2: freedom of worship. It also has this line I think
4:04
Speaker 2: is really good. Not everyone has to agree all the time,
4:07
Speaker 2: So share your ideas and I will share mine. Why
4:11
Speaker 2: was that important to include the ability to disagree without
4:14
Speaker 2: you know, being enemies.
4:15
Speaker 1: Well, I'm raising my daughter in New York City and
4:17
Speaker 1: I'm the conservative. So that's the line that's important in
4:21
Speaker 1: this house because we love all of the children, and
4:23
Speaker 1: we love all of their parents, and many of their
4:24
Speaker 1: parents might disagree with me politically. But one of my
4:28
Speaker 1: closest friends at my daughter's school, her daughter's one of
4:30
Speaker 1: my daughter's best friends and her closest friends, and the
4:34
Speaker 1: mom and I disagree, and she always laughs and she says,
4:37
Speaker 1: you know, I never watched Fox News. I watched it
4:39
Speaker 1: this morning, and I did agree with this. I didn't
4:41
Speaker 1: agree with that, but she I remember introducing her my
4:45
Speaker 1: fiances Sean Hannity, who comes on at night and he
4:47
Speaker 1: is very, very vocal about being a conservative. And she
4:51
Speaker 1: met him and she said, I tell all of my
4:53
Speaker 1: liberal friends, he's so nice. Can you believe him? No?
4:56
Speaker 2: Night.
4:57
Speaker 1: So I think the message there is we do we
5:00
Speaker 1: are unified under the red, white and blue, under the
5:02
Speaker 1: stars and stripes, and we are unified in this country
5:05
Speaker 1: it's called the United States of America. So we have
5:09
Speaker 1: much more in common than we don't, and we need
5:11
Speaker 1: to learn to get to a point in our country
5:13
Speaker 1: where we are united and we understand each other's gifts
5:16
Speaker 1: and talents, and we could think differently, but that is
5:19
Speaker 1: ultimately what makes America great.
5:21
Speaker 2: Amen of that, amen of that, it also celebrates the
5:23
Speaker 2: beauty of the country. It's spylights, inventions and opportunities, celebrates soldiers,
5:27
Speaker 2: law enforcement. You said that it also celebrates the diversity
5:30
Speaker 2: of the people. I think that's really good. And of
5:31
Speaker 2: course you live in New York City. You live in
5:33
Speaker 2: a very diverse city. It emphasizes that Americans are of
5:36
Speaker 2: every color and creed. Why was that important? I think
5:40
Speaker 2: probably it's similar to the other answer you gave me.
5:42
Speaker 2: But why was that important to celebrate the diversity in
5:44
Speaker 2: this children's books?
5:45
Speaker 1: Because we're all God's children. And I teach my daughter
5:47
Speaker 1: that she's never heard me single anyone out because of
5:50
Speaker 1: the color of their skin ever, And I mean, I
5:53
Speaker 1: never make a comment about that. I want her to
5:55
Speaker 1: see everybody equally, and I don't even want that to
5:58
Speaker 1: be a big deal. Now there are his street lessons
6:00
Speaker 1: there that I will teach her and we will talk
6:03
Speaker 1: about that. And with we've already talked about the idea
6:07
Speaker 1: we couldn't believe that people actually end slaves, and that
6:10
Speaker 1: they didn't believe that we were equal. But we are,
6:12
Speaker 1: and everyone was created by God, and that's something that's
6:15
Speaker 1: taught in my home. But I think the astronauts. I
6:20
Speaker 1: remember when the artem is two astronauts, when they were
6:22
Speaker 1: interviewed and what they said. I think, to the female,
6:26
Speaker 1: what was it like to be the first female to
6:28
Speaker 1: go farther than anyone else? What was it like to
6:30
Speaker 1: be the first African American to go farther than anyone else?
6:33
Speaker 1: And he said, obviously it's groundbreaking, and obviously I'm so
6:36
Speaker 1: blessed and thankful to be a part of this. But
6:39
Speaker 1: I can't wait for our country to get to a
6:40
Speaker 1: point where that's not even a question, where it's just
6:43
Speaker 1: you're a human being, and you're an American who went
6:45
Speaker 1: farther than anybody else. And that's what my generation longs for.
6:49
Speaker 1: That's definitely what the younger generation longs for. I'm a
6:52
Speaker 1: New Yorker. I have friends of all colors, you know,
6:56
Speaker 1: everyone all different socioeconomic backgrounds, and that's just America. Anything
7:02
Speaker 1: is possible, Anything is possible if you work really hard,
7:05
Speaker 1: and those astronauts are some of the smartest in their class.
7:08
Speaker 1: Their dad moms are so proud of them, and they
7:10
Speaker 1: are Americans. And look what they've done for America. You know,
7:13
Speaker 1: we're winning the space race against China and they did
7:16
Speaker 1: that for us.
7:17
Speaker 2: And that's the did a good job picking pod great astronauts.
7:19
Speaker 2: How badly but inspired. Victor Glover's one of the people
7:21
Speaker 2: you're talking about. He's so inspiring. You've created a book,
7:24
Speaker 2: of course, that appeals to both kids and adults.
7:26
Speaker 1: Yea.
7:26
Speaker 2: I can imagine many, you know a parents reading this
7:29
Speaker 2: book and learning something as they're reading it. What do
7:31
Speaker 2: you hope families take away while they're reading this threat
7:33
Speaker 2: while reading this book.
7:34
Speaker 1: Angsley, I hope that they are able to read the
7:37
Speaker 1: book with their children and realize all the positive aspects
7:41
Speaker 1: of living in this great nation, and that the children
7:44
Speaker 1: walk away feeling very happy and pleased and blessed and
7:47
Speaker 1: grateful to be here in America, and just a reminder
7:50
Speaker 1: that we all need to go back to that childlike
7:52
Speaker 1: faith with you know, Jesus even talks about how special
7:56
Speaker 1: and precious the children are because they have that child
7:58
Speaker 1: like faith and to read a book with your child,
8:00
Speaker 1: there's nothing better. It's you're transported into a different land
8:06
Speaker 1: and their imaginations run wild. And open up all the
8:08
Speaker 1: pictures and sit on each picture for a little bit
8:11
Speaker 1: and let them point out what they love and which
8:13
Speaker 1: child in the pages that they can relate to, because
8:16
Speaker 1: there are children of all walks of life on every
8:18
Speaker 1: single page. And we did that so that we could
8:21
Speaker 1: so that every child, as a child, you're attracted to
8:24
Speaker 1: the child that you can relate to. And so like
8:26
Speaker 1: my daughter picked outfits for the one her character that
8:29
Speaker 1: looks more like her, and she helped with the drawings
8:32
Speaker 1: and helped just with color. She wanted it. She wanted
8:36
Speaker 1: this book for the little girl to grow all older.
8:39
Speaker 1: She said, Mamma, I wouldn't wear that outfit that I
8:41
Speaker 1: wore in the first book. I wouldn't wear that in
8:42
Speaker 1: the second. I'd be like, you know, change it a
8:45
Speaker 1: little bit for her. But I just hope that it
8:48
Speaker 1: brings families together, appreciation for country, appreciation for faith, and
8:54
Speaker 1: that everyone walks away with a smile and at the
8:57
Speaker 1: end of the book that they scream, America, I'm so
8:59
Speaker 1: glad you were born.
9:00
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think this is a book that anybody, anybody
9:02
Speaker 2: that left or I can read this book and appreciate it.
9:05
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything you knoweolo ideological about this book.
9:09
Speaker 2: That's one thing I want to say. The book celebrates faith,
9:11
Speaker 2: freedom of worship. Of course, you've been opened about your
9:13
Speaker 2: own faith, Ainsley, When did your own personal faith become
9:16
Speaker 2: real to you?
9:27
Speaker 1: We always grew up in church, and we went to
9:29
Speaker 1: a formal Episcopal church, and then we moved. We went
9:32
Speaker 1: to a Lutheran church, the church my father grew up in,
9:35
Speaker 1: and every Sunday we had to be in church, even
9:37
Speaker 1: if we spent the night out. Mom and Dad would
9:39
Speaker 1: pick us up on Sunday morning on the way to church,
9:41
Speaker 1: and my friends would come with me or either I
9:43
Speaker 1: had to go with them, so we were always in church.
9:44
Speaker 1: I'm grateful to my parents for laying that foundation. But
9:48
Speaker 1: then when I went to college, I started going to
9:50
Speaker 1: a Baptist church because fifty percent of my sorority, they
9:53
Speaker 1: were really strong Christians. They would invite me to the
9:55
Speaker 1: Bible study and there was free pizza, so that didn't hurt.
9:59
Speaker 1: But I also did all always loved the Lord and
10:01
Speaker 1: had a place for him in my heart. But I
10:03
Speaker 1: think I put him in a certain box, and I
10:05
Speaker 1: would pull him out when I needed him and put
10:06
Speaker 1: him back in, And you know, that was kind of
10:09
Speaker 1: the way. I always loved the Lord and was very faithful,
10:13
Speaker 1: but I wasn't always living the way I needed to live.
10:15
Speaker 1: I was, you know, going out and drinking a lot
10:17
Speaker 1: and living up, you know, like most college students do.
10:20
Speaker 1: And I got so sick of it. And then I
10:22
Speaker 1: watched my friends who weren't doing that. And there was
10:26
Speaker 1: a really cute guy in my class and we used
10:28
Speaker 1: to study together, and he wasn't doing that. His life
10:31
Speaker 1: had changed. He used to be really wild and a
10:33
Speaker 1: big partier, and his life changed, and so I wanted
10:37
Speaker 1: to be like them. And I started going to church
10:39
Speaker 1: and Bible studies and learning more about the Bible and
10:42
Speaker 1: reading the Bible, and they were all so knowledgeable, and
10:45
Speaker 1: I wanted more and more of it. And they took
10:47
Speaker 1: me to a church that had praise and worship music,
10:49
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is awesome, this is like
10:51
Speaker 1: a concert. I've never been to a church like this,
10:54
Speaker 1: or maybe I had with my friend Lindsay. She went
10:56
Speaker 1: to a Baptist church. But I wasn't open to it.
10:59
Speaker 1: I would kind of make fun of it a little bit,
11:01
Speaker 1: which is horrible to say, but I always thought heymns
11:03
Speaker 1: were the proper way to worship. And then in college
11:08
Speaker 1: my life changed. In my mom, I remember her, she
11:11
Speaker 1: was like, you know this church is is this a cult?
11:13
Speaker 1: Is this? I said, no, Mom, this is just how
11:16
Speaker 1: God's feeding me. He feeds you with hems and you
11:19
Speaker 1: feel so close to Him and and that's how you're fed.
11:23
Speaker 1: But I'm fed in this church. And so now i
11:26
Speaker 1: go to an Episcopal church. Sometimes I'll go to a
11:29
Speaker 1: Methodist church. I'll go to a non denominational church. I
11:32
Speaker 1: love a contemporary service. My fiance and I go to
11:35
Speaker 1: an Episcopal church most Sundays. But we also love to
11:39
Speaker 1: watch concerts Michael W. Smith. We love to watch because
11:42
Speaker 1: we've become friends with him over the years and he's
11:44
Speaker 1: just phenomenal and his concerts are with ccwine and are
11:48
Speaker 1: so special to us. And that's just my story. It's
11:52
Speaker 1: it's been great. I don't regret it. I live for
11:54
Speaker 1: the Lord. I know that God's put me in this
11:56
Speaker 1: position at Fox because I'm I'm not afraid to talk
11:59
Speaker 1: about my and I'm bold and I give all the
12:02
Speaker 1: glory to God.
12:03
Speaker 2: How do you stay grounded spiritually while working in this,
12:06
Speaker 2: you know, fast paced, high profile environment. Is that difficult
12:10
Speaker 2: or have you found it easy?
12:12
Speaker 1: You know? I live in a neighborhood where there are
12:16
Speaker 1: a lot of My daughter goes to school with a
12:18
Speaker 1: lot of like minded people. I work at Fox News.
12:22
Speaker 1: A lot of my friends at Fox are conservative, and
12:24
Speaker 1: we're raising our children the same way. All of my friends,
12:27
Speaker 1: my daughter's friends, parents who I'm really close with, we're
12:32
Speaker 1: all raising our kids the same way. We all go
12:34
Speaker 1: to church on Sundays. For the most part. I have
12:37
Speaker 1: an amazing Bible study of women from all over the
12:41
Speaker 1: upper part of the city where I live, and we
12:44
Speaker 1: have children of all different ages. So that's nice because
12:48
Speaker 1: we're not there to necessarily talk about what this teacher
12:51
Speaker 1: said at school, or the amount of homework they're getting,
12:53
Speaker 1: or that this test or whatever. We're really there to
12:56
Speaker 1: talk about the Lord, to read scripture, to unpack scripture,
12:59
Speaker 1: and to pray. We go around the room and we
13:00
Speaker 1: pray for each other and ask for prayer requests. We
13:03
Speaker 1: pray for them throughout the week, and we say a
13:05
Speaker 1: big prayer at the end, and we'll each take a
13:07
Speaker 1: person and we pray for that person, and we're constantly
13:10
Speaker 1: texting each other throughout the week different prayers because many
13:14
Speaker 1: of us have lost our parents, some of them have
13:17
Speaker 1: lost their in laws, some of them have lost one
13:20
Speaker 1: of them lost for sister's husband. I'm from cancer, and
13:23
Speaker 1: all of our children, you know, struggles that our children
13:25
Speaker 1: go through, we share with each other. So I feel
13:28
Speaker 1: like God has really put me in this bubble of Christians,
13:33
Speaker 1: and I try to be kind and polite and speak
13:36
Speaker 1: to everyone in the city that I come across because
13:39
Speaker 1: I want to spread the gospel. I don't want to
13:40
Speaker 1: just hang out with Christians. But I feel very protected
13:44
Speaker 1: in New York, believe it or not, because I wasn't
13:46
Speaker 1: about that. Moving here about.
13:49
Speaker 2: A question for you, perhaps you are, of course co hosts.
13:51
Speaker 2: Fox and Friends airs from six am to nine am
13:54
Speaker 2: every weekday Eastern time. What does a daily schedule look
13:58
Speaker 2: like for you in terms of bad time. I'm in
14:00
Speaker 2: wake at time because most people are getting up around
14:05
Speaker 2: the time. They're looking at you and all your co
14:09
Speaker 2: hosts being you know, ready for the day. So I'm
14:12
Speaker 2: just curious, what is what does a day look like
14:14
Speaker 2: for you?
14:15
Speaker 1: So I wake up at three point thirty in the morning,
14:17
Speaker 1: and I sep four or five alarms on my phone
14:20
Speaker 1: just in case, because I snoozed about two time and
14:24
Speaker 1: I wake up immediately. My daughter loves to sleep with me,
14:27
Speaker 1: so I'm a single mom, and so I let her.
14:30
Speaker 1: Now she's ten years old. I know a lot of
14:32
Speaker 1: doctors would say, don't let her do that, but we
14:34
Speaker 1: read at night and we both go to bed at
14:36
Speaker 1: the same time because I have to get up so early.
14:38
Speaker 1: So it just works for me. I don't have a
14:39
Speaker 1: normal schedule, and I have to do what just works
14:43
Speaker 1: in this house for both of us. If not, I'll
14:44
Speaker 1: end up putting her in her bed falling asleep. I
14:47
Speaker 1: have to take my alarm and everything, my phone, plug
14:49
Speaker 1: it in next to her bed, get my water, get
14:52
Speaker 1: all my studies supplies because I'm studying for Fox and
14:54
Speaker 1: Friends while she's reading her book. So it just works
14:58
Speaker 1: for us. So we fall asleep together around nine o'clock,
15:00
Speaker 1: and then I get up at three thirty. I take
15:03
Speaker 1: I already have all my bags in the bathroom, my
15:05
Speaker 1: clothes in the bathroom, and then I get ready in there,
15:08
Speaker 1: go to work and I'm in the makeup and hair
15:11
Speaker 1: chair at four thirty, do hair and makeup for the
15:14
Speaker 1: next thirty thirty five minutes, and go upstairs. I'm in
15:17
Speaker 1: my office for about fifty minutes by myself. I get
15:20
Speaker 1: dressed in there. I keep all my dresses on my
15:21
Speaker 1: high heels at work and pick out my outfit in
15:25
Speaker 1: the morning, and then sit at my desk and I
15:27
Speaker 1: will study for about forty five minutes of whatever's in
15:31
Speaker 1: our rundown. They give us the list of whoever we're
15:34
Speaker 1: interviewing the night before, so I can prepare those questions
15:37
Speaker 1: and study those questions for about three or four most
15:40
Speaker 1: of us, each of us have about three or four
15:42
Speaker 1: interviews per show, so I'll study those in advance and
15:46
Speaker 1: watch videos on that person or read about that person's story,
15:50
Speaker 1: so I'm ready. In the morning, we get our talking points,
15:52
Speaker 1: which is all ad lib So let's say we're ad
15:56
Speaker 1: libbing about the conflict in Iran. We're ad libing about
16:00
Speaker 1: Turning Point USA, their latest tour, whatever it is. I
16:04
Speaker 1: need to study those topics, and I need to write
16:08
Speaker 1: down on my folder the latest news, because obviously we're
16:11
Speaker 1: in the news business. People are waking up. They want
16:13
Speaker 1: to know what's new, so that when they go to
16:15
Speaker 1: the water cooler. When they go to work, they're prepared
16:16
Speaker 1: and they can talk about it if they're asked about
16:18
Speaker 1: it at work. So I will. My system is I
16:22
Speaker 1: have a Manila folder, old school. I get a lead pencil,
16:25
Speaker 1: this brand that I like, and I'll write at the
16:28
Speaker 1: top ron and I write the latest. I'll write under
16:31
Speaker 1: that in a square, I'll write you know, turning Point USA.
16:35
Speaker 1: And then on the next column I'll write, you know, America,
16:38
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you were born Ainsley's children's book. And
16:41
Speaker 1: then I'll write the top whatever it is. So that
16:43
Speaker 1: that way, when I'm on set with the guys, I
16:44
Speaker 1: put all of the articles that I've read inside that folder.
16:47
Speaker 1: The outside of the folder is like a cheat sheet.
16:49
Speaker 1: It has all of my notes that I want to
16:51
Speaker 1: say on air. And that way, when I'm sitting on
16:53
Speaker 1: the curvy couch with my co anchors of Lawrence on
16:56
Speaker 1: my right and Brian on my left, Lawrence will say
16:59
Speaker 1: something about Iran, I'll look at my folder. I'll say, oh,
17:01
Speaker 1: he didn't say this. I can say that. I'll say that. Brian,
17:04
Speaker 1: I'll say something and that I have one more thing
17:06
Speaker 1: to add. We might toss to a reporter. If the
17:09
Speaker 1: reporter didn't cover everything on my sheet, then I can
17:11
Speaker 1: add that after the reporter. And it's a it's playing tennis,
17:14
Speaker 1: like we're all trying to hit back and forth and balance,
17:16
Speaker 1: you know. We just don't want to dominate the conversation.
17:19
Speaker 1: And sometimes if it's a topic that I really love,
17:23
Speaker 1: they'll let me talk more about that. If it's a
17:25
Speaker 1: topic Brian loves like a run, he loves foreign policy,
17:29
Speaker 1: we'll let him talk more about that. And Lawrence loves
17:33
Speaker 1: to talk about crime, and he loves to talk about
17:35
Speaker 1: faith like I do, and so he'll, you know, he
17:38
Speaker 1: might dominate that, but we just we work really well together.
17:41
Speaker 1: I have fabulous co anchors, and we share sharing you
17:46
Speaker 1: have to share when you have a multi anchor show.
17:50
Speaker 1: And then the show is over at nine and so
17:52
Speaker 1: right now I had an interview at nine thirty. I
17:57
Speaker 1: rushed home. I had an interview at nine thirty for
17:59
Speaker 1: a year show. And now I have this interview and
18:03
Speaker 1: I after that, we'll go catch a flight because I
18:05
Speaker 1: spend my weekends with my fiance, so it's my turn
18:09
Speaker 1: to go visit him. So I'm going to visit hem.
18:12
Speaker 1: And so that's it. That's and then I'll have the
18:14
Speaker 1: week one. That's pretty much my day. Sometimes I'll stay
18:17
Speaker 1: and I'll anchor out Numbered, which is at noon. Sometimes
18:20
Speaker 1: I'll stay to do other shows. Brian sometimes on his
18:24
Speaker 1: weekend show, he'll record certain segments of that at like
