in front of your eyes. It's kind of fun to watch.

And you watch him just adding layers to his stack. And as he added layers right in front of you, you watched his career develop while we all watched. And then he got all the way to the Rush Limbaugh qualification and he just did everything right. And every time you see somebody who simply succeeds by doing everything exactly the way it should be done and then it works, that's always good to see because that's very inspiring for anybody who is saying, "How do I succeed?" Well, do it that way. Figure out what set of talents you need to put together and then methodically just go add them and add them and add them until you've got something special, which he did.

Somebody said but he could not win a congressional seat. Boy, that's the loser way to look at it. How much did he learn running for Congress and losing, right? That's the big part of the system too, is they don't all win. I mean, I don't imagine every job he tried to get he got. But somebody says Bongino is not getting Rush's show, but I'm talking about the radio spot, not the show.

Somebody says it would be lonely to not have grandchildren in my big house. Well, what makes you think I won't? I would expect to see some grandchildren running around in this house eventually.

What's your take on the Variety hit piece on Gutfeld? One of the fascinating things about Greg Gutfeld's new show — so now he's competing at that 11 p.m. slot, at least on the East Coast. It runs at 8 p.m. every night on the West Coast. But what's great about it is that because the conservative-leaning world doesn't have as many options as the Democratic-leaning world, the Gutfeld show immediately went to the top of the ratings. They gotta hate that.

Now one of the things that Greg does better than just about anybody is he understands his audience. You'll rarely see somebody who understands his audience as well as he does. And so it's no surprise that his show is successful because he knows his audience and he's been serving them for a long time. And watching the hit pieces is just funny because you know that what's behind them is not so much, "Hey, let us do a public service because the public would really like to see our criticism of the Greg Gutfeld show." It's they're just hit pieces. They're just jealous people who are not as successful.

So when you see somebody who's sort of in that same entertainment-relative business — you know, they're artists or writers — and they're complaining about somebody who's succeeding at the highest level in that same sort of general domain, it doesn't mean anything. It just means there's some losers who are jealous of his success. That's all it is. I wouldn't take any of it too seriously.

Yes, in the comments somebody said this is going on about nothing, and you are right. And so I'm going to end now. I'll see you tomorrow.
