I love to have your strategist. Use a strategist. I think I'm very expensive, but I'm a vegetable. The government tell you when we went into government, my wife and I, with two kids in college, you don't do it for the money. Let me tell you, that was difficult. It's great to have you here. Not only because of your new book above the law, but because of the timing of this book.

2:25.0

You have been a guest host on this show. What was Jeff? Does he know how to switch on his mic? I mean, just doing the board now. I've no idea if you could do that at the same time. So put the headphones on this. My producer is guys. Do you remember how many guests did Matt ask you to book when he hosted for me? It was like 48 million. What was the exact number?

2:44.0

12 or 14 and I now have learned that Jeff didn't even try to book some of them. He ranked him. He's like, okay, Pambondi is she's good. You get to get, you know, Hogan's good. And then you get to about number seven or eight. And they didn't even get contact. I put a fake for my dad in their number. I never got reached out to you. What was our record at CPAC where we only did guests? What was it?

4:04.0

That's why America loves you Matt Whitaker and our listeners, but you are here for a purpose. And that purpose is your new book from my publisher. Just an accident. I told them I knew you and they gave you a contract. Okay, that's how it works in DC. Yeah. It's above the law, the inside story of how the justice department tried to subvert president Trump. It's brand new. Right. You were here two weeks ago. I was able to I was able to flash it. I had just your copy. It was your personal.

4:34.0

I had only copy. Right. And now I have more to share. It's available. People can buy your book now. Yeah. Right after this, I'm going to do a live signing with.

4:45.0

And they ask you questions. Yeah, that's super fun. And so, but so we're going to do that. Premier collectibles.com. If you want to do, you can ask Matt questions while he's doing the signings to you, you can get it done. Super fun. Is that when's that happening?

5:00.0

I'm a clock. Right after right after I leave here. Yeah. Okay. Go to rekt.com. Go to, you know, from your collectibles. I tweeted it. I've also listed. I had, you know, I've been saying, buy it on Amazon, buy it on Amazon. A lot of people push back and said, I don't want to support Jeff Bezos. Yeah. And I said, well, here's five other places. Not only premier collectibles, but Barnes and Noble target, books a million. And Sam's Club has them in all their stores. And so that's exciting. Well done. It's premier collectibles.com. I'm looking at that right now. But just go to Matt's

5:30.0

Twitter feed. It's Matt Walker 46. So Matt Whitaker 46. Let's get to business. I want to talk about the book. I've been given some great, great questions to ask you. But first, I have to discuss the flin case. Since we met just development after development after development. DOJ says the AG bar brings in an outside and not a DC swamp creature, which is exactly why you were such a great acting. AG because you weren't a swamp creature. He, I can't.

6:00.0

I can't remember his name. Jeff Jensen from Jeff. Thank you. Who said, uh, there's no predicate. No crime was committed. These charges should be vacated.
