All right, this is going to be a banger of a show today because we are going to be all over the place, and I mean that in a good way. I've got a retired FBI agent coming up at the end of the show. We're going to discuss everything from the Clancy case to FBI reforms to is there a path to save the FBI? You think, well, that's an odd question coming from you. No, but it's a fair question. I've never given you some utopia, Pollyanna-ish answer. Everything's good and fixed. Stop paying attention. No, no, no.

That's not the way a republic works.

Vigilance is the cost of a free society. And I mean daily vigilance. Vigilance by the second.

Things can change like that if we just give up and say everything's good now, no. So that's going to be an interesting interview. Stay tuned for that. I've got my first letters from, I mean, actual letters. I've got one right here. Letters from supporters. I got a letter from a young lady from Florida. We'll address that. And some positive and negative feedback I got in an appearance yesterday in Will Kane Show where I addressed the Lindsay Clancy case. I think you know how I feel about it. One more thing, right in the beginning, just incredible jobs numbers came out today. Almost 3X the jobs numbers three times for the liberals out there. Created that we thought were going to be created. So again, I'm just, I'm sorry, I'm not your guy. If you want constant doom and gloom, my life sucks, everything sucks, it's a black cloud. This is not the show.

This is not the show.

Folks, have you ever had that moment when the check engine light pops on and suddenly you're doing math in your head about what this repair is going to cost for your car? Everything's electronic now, everything's expensive. There's no more like $100 bumper repairs anymore. Everything's thousands of dollars. I've had those moments, you're sitting there on the side of the road, waiting for a tow truck, like what the hell just happened? How much is it going to cost? That's why I like Carshield. I'm happy to have them on board. My listeners love it too. They help protect hardworking Americans with 24-7 roadside assistance, courtesy towing and rental car options.

First, right out of the shoot, it's Feel Good Friday today. The jobs numbers came out today. Jobs are the heartbeat of economy. Work adds value, not just economic value, but moral value. People want to create, human beings want to work and add value. They want to do things. They don't want to sit around and watch freaking Fat Barney episode. Sharing is good. You know what? Share your assets with the world. Share your incredible intellect or your physical skill or your carpentry skills with the world and create. That's what people want to do.

Check this quick clip out. Jobs numbers just broke right before we came on the air. Right, Justin? I'm sitting there.

I'm in the office getting ready. Lucy's in the office today. The lovely Paula just came to pick her up. And I'm like, put this in the show. Here's Rick Santelli, CNBC. Numbers were incredible. Check this out.

Hold on to your seats, folks. Non-farm payrolls for the month of August up 162,000.

That's basically three times what expectations are.
