PP you know the what the information has but this is one as you can see -- -- -- he was fired up about but.

And -- -- -- you're about to launch a new website with their innocent thing he was working I mean this guy he attracted he's a fighter and a time that we needed fighters right here he came at a perfect time and kind of the conservative movement.

One when did you know.

That does the does Sean Hannity is in the market events in the Russian embassy and the governor Palin's and the congressman Bachmann -- -- these people kind of -- at this time and in your Barbara was on the me attractive fighters and he we spent.

The last two years.

Working on a website that on Sunday night.

You scheduled to -- so he was under the and he wasn't -- he was always he'd he'd left the office I think at 10 o'clock that night last night to go have a -- by -- -- hard he's working 24 hours -- -- -- horrible things being said about -- Rolling -- -- one and -- people on web -- just that you -- one of his closest friends he did have the -- a heart issue a year ago you know -- so laughing -- had -- issues he went to UCLA he was in the hospital for -- days since -- private company.

You know things didn't have to be announced.

Susie and Larry where there that we had a number of doc I'm face -- and he came out with a very specific program he was on medication as you guys know he dropped.

Wait he went on a diet he had a personal trainer he was there -- content to really get in the fit into fighting shape.

And and you're gonna see that -- you know I think this is of a massive heart attack but -- all all the all the rumors are just they're just nonsense let me just show some of the moment -- -- -- -- this one he was introducing Governor Palin -- Madison Tea Party.

-- -- -- The Tea Party has been the most.

He's small.

Beloved why didn't clean up after themselves grew in the history and American protests.

Let me relax your -- you know in the liberate.

The -- -- -- game pitting the eye doctor.

You have no right to lecture us on civility.

And now home nasseria.

Now.

You can -- the -- OK you're trying to divide America class.

Warfare is not on merit again.

That was an under.

You know it in -- on himself as a truth teller.

And that's what he saw his job -- that's who he was.

And you know -- seeking about one I -- -- say about him tonight that hasn't already -- been set over the course of the day and I thought you know.

Whenever we've had revolutionary technologies and America.

The most effective communicators have used that to go over the heads of the left wing press.

And speak directly to the American people Franklin Roosevelt did it with radio in his fireside chats.

Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan did it with television Oval Office addresses right to the American people.

Into bright -- at the dawn of the Internet recognized that this new technology.

Could be used for good he used to talk directly to the American people to tell them the truth -- -- -- wing media would not tell them.

We're gonna talk to Liz Cheney just a couple minutes but one of its first appearances he talked about the dangers of President Obama apologizing.

About America and know what it was first appearances on Hannity.

Secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

I'd just said that America has a lot it still is to blame to a great extent for the violence that's happening.

Overseas and it's not the last tendency to want to apologize.

For everything -- we're to blame for 9/11 we are to blame for the illegal immigration.

We are to blame for for everything these people think that if they go look overseas and apologize for being Americans that the rest of the world are -- like -- Instead they realize that -- push overs and that that were easily targeted because we're gonna give them what they want.

Ironically the president apologize says he's calm things down and of course more people been murdered in Afghanistan as a result of his.

A top aide to the whole Koran burning which we shouldn't have apologize for -- deal.

Have some comments and other examples of -- of the topics he undertook on he's a truth teller -- cut right to the heart of the topic look.

Andrew break -- instead but his spirit is gonna live on in that company.

That that website this going to launch a Sunday night is going to represent what you want is it because it's always it's big Hollywood -- -- -- opportunity now Arnold you're gonna see what Joseph Pollack -- -- marlin -- in the team.
