You know he had he -- he read the newspaper when there was a newspaper strike -- he read the comics to the kids.
So he was just colorful and -- lovable and also he really got things done that's my important thing in his play through because it's the message and it everything I do in the play.
Relates to what's going on our country now.
And that's what they -- -- congressman react to.
-- and the and the people and the he had the amount applause for the lines that are being said.
It's amazing -- reduced in Washington I was just down on Washington with the with congress and did the show for them and and at the end quote submit their comments were tremendous on both sides of the aisle and that's the did the wonderful thing about the -- No matter what side of the aisle you're on you think I'm talking to you.

He doesn't know this yet but that's not but I but I think I will make that offer and -- do that means.
I do I do I do anything tell me what you want to come and I'll arrange everything the heart of the to have a hit Broadway I mean and mean she must be.
One of the hardest things to do is to have a hit Broadway Show you know we've we've talked about television ratings and all -- kind of thing now you know it's then he you know.
A long process sued to have a great hit television show.

It is indeed and unfortunately.
-- crowd which is always influenced by something.
Influenced by 11.
Newspaper.
The review of the New York Times and you don't get that -- you really in trouble which is rather remains.
I want to play last night and an actress walked on stage and at the -- -- applaud that you know.
But as soon as the critic tells tells them she's one wonderful she will get a hand every night.
It's remarkable it's remarkable how this kind of thing works that they like sheep.
As if they're PG file if -- have followed the they followed with -- what if David critic says and they go with -- don't go.
As if that person knows.
Everything you know then.
But does that affect LaGuardia was was quite a showman he would burst into Broadway shows and take over the ban lead and be the -- She had a whole background is fun it was it was -- but that's a little weird we let you go yeah.
He would do those things and he was very friendly with within the theatrical people in fact one of the things is amazing that Abbott & Costello.
They raised millions and millions of dollars in bonds during World War II they were the highest raising the money you could imagine and it's back then.
I mean I think it was like twentieth -- forty million dollars and they -- -- for the war effort.

Running for May have -- the LaGuardia fusion ticket.
Which assays are real -- healing thing and if you can if you can gather both sides of the aisle to listen to you and employed at the same time about the same things.
