Yeah I I was on 510 minutes ago when I walk out and one of your partners has told me I was breaking on the wires -- I'm still.

Stunned about it.

A dozen years we were sort of among the first guys out there on the web we used -- back in the old days of instant messenger we would talk.

Joseph and I just want to read something to our viewers directly off the Internet and this is posted on one of his web sites right part TB and it goes like this with a terrible feeling -- pain and loss we announced the passing of -- bright part.

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural cause -- shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

We have lost a husband a father son a brother a dear friend a patriot and -- happy warrior.

Andrew live boldly so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully.

And fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.

And -- recently wrote a new conclusion in a book called righteous indignation.

Quote.

I love fighting back I love finding allies and famously.

I enjoy making enemies.

And now I mean Andrew when I -- those fearless guy I ever knew.

It really is true and he truly loved the fight mean -- one of things we really agreed on it's important be a happy warrior and if you don't like.

Being in the -- get the hell out of the breach and he really liked it and he.

And a one of his favorite pastimes was to re tweak all of the heat the people threw at him because he considered it a badge of honor.

And drove him a little bit you did a minute it was it it was his Wheaties -- that's what he had for breakfast was.

He figured that if you're not taking flak -- if you're taking -- you gotta be over the target.

And in many -- he was.

Have because it was.

He was a true.

Moderate he was the modern conservatives iteration of a 1960s radical he really believe that the edifice of modern American liberalism.

Was corrupt and hypocritical he took.

Deep and profound offense.

-- being called a racist simply because you want to treat everybody the same and because he believed that free market and freedoms.

Where it was the way to go and that really rankled him and he loved turning the tables back on -- enemies sometimes maybe were too much gusto maybe not.

But he loved the fight and what what breaks my heart is his wife Susie and their four kids in -- -- was is.
