Speaker 1 (00:30):
All right, Leonard skinnered simple man.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
That can only mean one thing on this radio program,
and that is all things simple man. That means all
things Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly at billoreilly dot com.
Mister O'Reilly, sir, how are you? And welcome back?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Thank you for having me as arrange and I am.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
By the way, Why does this sound of your voice
make me laugh? I can't help it, it just does.
I'm Bill O'Reilly and I'm speaking for the folks, and
here we go, and uh, you just.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Crack me up. You're such a dominant personality.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yes, it's a voice of authority. Hannity.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
All right, So combined between the two of us, how
many years have.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
You been in media?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Fifty?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Okay, so eighty five years combined experience between the two
of us.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
That's a lot of time in media, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And it was time well spent for me and I
think for you as well.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I think that we were well In my case, I
was right there at the at the beginning of new media,
I would argue and talk radio only had two hundred,
two hundred and fifty stations when I started, and now
it's exploded to five thousand it's the top format and radio,
and we're now on nearly seven hundred and fifty stations.
(01:49):
And then we were both there for the beginning of
the Fox News Channel, which I would argue is still
new media, although some people would say, well, you've been
on the air twenty nine years, certainly not legacy media.
That would be a false characterization in my view. But
something is going on here. Bill and I have said,
I said an seven, and I've said it many times
(02:11):
that journalism is dead in America. After this election, I
said legacy media is dead in America also because they
threw everything they had at Donald Trump and they turned
a blind eye and supported law fair and weaponization and
all that I won't repeat at all. And since Donald
Trump's election, Nora o'donald is out at CBS, Chuck Todd
(02:35):
is out at MSDNC, Andrea Mitchell is out there as well.
Lester Holt now moved over to be the face of
the franchise called Dateline, and Lester I found to be
a great guy. I know you work with him. He
was always nice to me when he interviewed me on
The Today Show. And now we have Jim fake News.
(02:56):
Acosta is out Joy Reid is out, Alex Wagner is out,
and I don't wish anybody ill Bill my success. Your
success is not predicated on all the people's failures, so
I'm not dancing on their grave. And you know, for example,
Rachel Maddow went on air and said, this is a
(03:16):
terrible mistake and then implied that there was a racial
component to the firing of Alex Wagner and Joy Reid.
And now MSNBC DNC didn't really care because they now
fired most of her staff.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
My big question, what is going on?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Well, you've come to the right place, Kennedy.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
See this is why you cracked me up. Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I am the last of a breed. I was a
network correspondent at CBS and ABC, CBS under rather at
ABC under Jennings. That was old school, and I covered
stories all over the world that have been eighty six
countries and I amassed an amazing amount of experience doing that.
(04:05):
Covered wars of Berlin, wall coming down, trafficking in Thailand,
you name it, I was there. So what has happened
is that there were three signatures about the news media
in America Watergate, and that changed everything because the Washington
(04:26):
post brought down Nixon the Iraq War, where the media
and mass turned against Bush the younger because while we
did the right thing by deposing Saddam Hussein, the nation
building did not work and Trump. As soon as Trump
(04:47):
gained power, the media basically collectively said, we don't have
to go by the old rules of checking our sources,
of trying to get both sides of the story. We
think he's dangerous, we don't like him, so our missing
changes from reporting to the American people to trying to
(05:10):
destroy Donald Trump. Once you're into the activist realm, which
is where the corporate media is today, then you lose
all journalistic credibility. Now, it took a while for the
folks to catch on, but now they have and it's
(05:31):
all because of Joe Biden. This is fascinating, Hannity. Joe
Biden did such a terrible job that every single American
was affected negatively by him. Yet the corporate media kept
telling all of us what a great job he was doing.
(05:51):
There was no problem with him. And that was the
tipping point into the folks turning again. They hate Trump
cadre of media, and now they're scared. Comcast, NBC, CBS, ABC, Disney.
(06:13):
They're scared because Trump is coming after them, unprecedented in
American history. Teddy Roosevel pretty tough on a press, but
he didn't have TV, didn't have radio. But this has
never happened before. We're the most powerful man in the
world is coming after media corporations. So how about that
(06:37):
for a summation.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't think he's coming after them. He's holding them accountable,
and I think it's it's warranted.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
No, I went through.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I did an interview with the website. It's a sort
of a trade website called Mediaite, and they cover the
news industry. And you know, I don't do many interviews.
I just don't. I don't have time for it. I
don't need it because I have my own platforms and
I just but I wanted to do it, and I
(07:11):
did it. And in the course of this interview, I
kept pointing out certain things. The media never asked Kamala
why she wants to use taxpayer dollars to pay for
sex change operations for convicts and illegal immigrants, or her
running mate wanted free college tuition taxpayer funded college tuition
(07:31):
for illegals. They never asked Kamala Harris about her comments.
We had five hundred and seventy four riots in the
summer of twenty twenty, and when you look at the
coverage of January sixth, compared to the five hundred and
seventy four riots in the summer of twenty twenty, Bill
dozens of Americans died. We had cops, thousands injured, pelted
(07:53):
with bricks, rocks, bottles, molotov cocktails, and we had billions
of property damage, and we had a ton of evidence
and it was mostly ignored. And Kamala said on Stephen Colbert,
they're not going to stop, and they shouldn't stop, and
we're not going to stop. She didn't get asked a
single question on that during the campaign, Bill and that,
(08:13):
to me is a dereliction of duty on their part.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Thoughts, Well, you're pointing out corruption. That's what you're pointing out.
But I disagree with you.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
But it's all it's not just corruption.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Isn't it why they lost why they're losing audience and
people didn't trust them any longer. They were lied to
about the cognitive state, immigration, the economy. You're right, but
also lied to them on other issues.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
There are many other issues, but that's corruption. And when
you have a corruption and the people understand the corruption,
they walk away or they vote you out. But I
disagree with you about Trump, and let me make my
case because it's fascinating story. Trump has an obligation.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
He's coming from you. Of course, it's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Go ahead, yeah, I mean that's why I'm me.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Oh man, you are feeling it to I.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Go all right. Trump is an obligation to basically try
to stop the media corruption. He's the president. He's the president.
If his people, Americans are getting hurt by giant corporations
misleading them and lying to them, the president is an
(09:25):
obligation to try to stop it. Wouldn't you agree?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I agree, and I think especially those were broadcast licenses. Sure,
that is a gift from the people and with it
comes a responsibility right to that.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
So Trump is trying to expose and mitigate the damage
done by these corrupt agencies. He's doing it three way lawsuits,
exposure in the overall office by just calling them out
and not saying access like he did with the AP
(10:03):
because he believed it's not about the Gulf of Mexico
to Golf of Maria. That's just the pretense he believes
that the Associated Press is not an honest, brokele of information.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Well, they're not. I would argue that they're not. I mean,
did they ever.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Agree. I made the case on my broadcast and no
Spin News. I just took their style book and you
can't say illegal alien you can't. There's a million works
things in there and there has no business being in
any kind of a journalistic style book.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Well, I think that the corruption goes even beyond woke.
I mean, we got the Russia hoax right, everyone else
in the media got it wrong, and I had to
work hard for three years to get to the bottom
of that, and we unpeeled every layer of that onion.
And the same with FAISA abuse, and the same with
a weaponized justice system, and the same with a dual
system of justice, not equal justice.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
When they rated Mara a Lago.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
But they didn't go after Joe and Hillary for the
same offense we talked about, you know, all of it.
For example, nobody in the media corrected the false valuation
of judging Goron of eighteen million dollars in maur A Lago.
You and I both know it's worth a billion or more.
It's just the and it sounds crazy, but that's the
prices of Palm Beach, Florida. Insane, but that's that's the price.
(11:25):
And they didn't care about, you know, stacked charges by
Alvin Bragg for a case at legal NDA labeled as
an NDA put together by a lawyer and then turned
into this novel federal legal theory which they had no
authority or jurisdiction, and they stacked thirty four charges on it.
(11:46):
The statute of limitations had run out, but they didn't care.
They just wanted to get Trump. Get Trump.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
That's right. And now because of Biden, people know that
to fix was in and has been in for almost
ten years, so that when Trump goes after the media,
now the media doesn't have any defenders anymore, and they're
losing the court cases and the people aren't behind them,
(12:15):
which is why, getting back to the original premise, NBC
cut loose, MSNBC, MSNBC not part of NBC anymore. They're
not in the same building. They can't use the NBC
reporters and Comcast NBC wants to sell it. If you
want to buy it, you got enough money, you could
buy it. I think Alexander.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Sorrows what do you mean if I have enough money,
I could buy it. You could buy it. You go
buy it.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Well, if it's on sale, I could buy it, but
you could buy you could buy it all sale.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Thanks a lot of Riley Anyway, Why would Why would
I want a failing network to keep going?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Why you did they turn it into a paragon of virtue, Hannity, You.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Put me I think, I think I'm comfortable in my
lane right here. I'm staying with what I know.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
But what I'm saying is is up for sale. Anybody
listening and got a lot of money, and it wouldn't
be a lot. NBC would give you a big sale
on that. And that's why they're firing everybody and booting
everybody out of there, because they want to stream it
down for a sale. CBS is basically surrendered, all right.
They put two guys that nobody ever heard of in
(13:23):
for Norah O'Donnell, and Disney is pretty much giving Trump
everything Trump wants because of the Stepanopolis thing. I mean,
Disney gave Trump seventeen million dollars to build his library
and your backyard, I understand that's where it's going. Trump
Library is going in Hany's backyard. It's how big a
backyard he has.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
It's gonna say, welcome to Hannity's house. To Trump library,
sure that's right next door.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
And then McGee interviews very easy or does walk across
and you short pant, They're already pretty easy and as
much as mar A Lago's not that far away.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
But look, I think that there's a re alignment going
on and if you don't offer your audience truth and
news and information. And I went through this whole thing
in the media. I had interview of all the times
I've been right and the media has been wrong. And
the reason is is because I care to get it right.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Bill, I do. I am. I am political, but I'm
also I believe in truth.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
The foundation of your success is that your audience on
radio and television trust what you say. And I have
the same foundation, so I know it well. But yeah,
we don't work. You do, but not really because you've
been there so long, they're not going to mess with
you at Fox. But I don't work for anybody anymore.
I work for myself.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And I work for Fox. I mean, I have no.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Compunctions about saying that I have, but they do. They
let they have faith in me because I have a
good track record.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah, but they're not gonna mess with you, Annie, I
mean just not. And you're you're in a unique position
because almost everybody else working for the media companies better
do what they're told to do.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
What you were there, you were never told what to do,
and I've never been told what to do, and I
appreciate that freedom and that's not the case in other places.
But mister O'Reilly, it's always enlightening, fun and entertaining. We
appreciate your insightful wisdom and commentary.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Appreciate me on. Thanks, We see you next week.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
All things at O'Reilly a billoreilly dot com. Quick break
right back will continue. So the President Hannah's first cabinet meeting,
as I mentioned earlier today, twenty five members and others
were there.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Elon Musk was there.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Steve Witcoff I noticed was there, and it was pretty
amazing and it's worth running. It's such a dramatic change
from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Let's listen it.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Would you have any.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Questions of Elon while we're on the subject of those,
because we'll finish off with that and if you would
have any questions, please ask you could ask me or
Elon go ahead, please, thank you.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Thank you, and just must I just wanted to ask
you that President Trump put out a truth social today.
You're saying, is that everybody in the Canada was happy
with you?
Speaker 7 (16:09):
I just wondered if that's if you had heard otherwise,
and if you had heard anything about members of the
cabinet who weren't happy with the way things were going,
and if so.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
What are you doing to address those Any dissatisfaction must.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Have left the cabinet speak for. Is anybody unhappy with Alan?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
If you are, well throw them out here.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah. I have a lot of respect for Elan and
that he's doing.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
This, and some disagree a little bit, but I will
tell you, for the most part, I think everyone's not
only happy that the rill so go ahead, Elin great.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
President Trump has put together I think the best hapbinet ever.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Literally so, and I do not give false praise this.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
This is an incredible group of people. I don't think
that such a talented team has actually ever been assembled.
I think it's literally the best cabinet that the country
has ever had, and I think the company should be.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Incredibly appreciative of the people in this room.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Please yeah, President, thank you, mister Musk.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Are about half of the government.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Employees so far appre to have responded to your request
for what they've been doing over the past week. Is
there a timeline in place for next moves for people
being fired and monk? In the American people expect to
see results.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Yes, Well, to be too clear, like the I think
that emailers it's besially interpret it as a performance review,
but actually it was a pulse check review.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Do you have a pass?
Speaker 8 (17:51):
You have a pulse and two neurons, So if you
have a pass in two neurons, you can apply to
an email. This is, you know, I think not a
high bar, is what I'm saying. This is should be
anyone could accomplish this. But what we all trying to
get to the bottom of is we think there are
a number of people on the government payroll who are dead,
(18:13):
which is partly why they can't respond, and and some
people who are not real people like that literally fictional
individuals that are collecting paychecks. All some of these collecting
paychecks on a fictional individual. So we're just literally trying
to figure out all these people real are they alive
and can they right an email? Which I think is
a reasonable expectation for you know, the American public would
(18:34):
have at least that expectation of someone in the public center.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
This is it's not a high bar.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Guys, go ones have responded so far to this email.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Does that mean that the remaining one million or so
federal employees now.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Risk being terminated?
Speaker 7 (18:51):
And is it your understanding and expectation when you post
a directive on X that the cabinet secretaries will follow
that order because several agencies have instructed employees that this
is voluntary or not to respond.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, well, I mean to so.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
I guess it was like last week President encouraged me
via truth social and also via phone call to be
more aggressive. And I was like, okay, you know, yes, sir,
it's president. We will do that. With their president's commander
in chief, I do what the President asked. So and
(19:28):
I said, can we send out an email to everyone
just saying what did you get at last week? And
the President said yes. So it did that, and you know,
we got a partial response. We're going to send another email,
but our goal is not to be capricious or unfair.
It's we want to give people every opportunity to send
(19:49):
an email, and the email could simply be what I'm
working on is too sensitible classified to describe, like literally,
just that would be sufficient.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
You know, I this is just common sense. Hey, what
is your target.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
Number for how many Borders employees you're looking to castle?
Speaker 8 (20:08):
We wish to keep everyone who is doing a job
that is essential and doing that job well. But if
they're if the job is not essential, or they're not
doing a job well, the opposite should not be on
the public perild.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
You'd like to wait a minute.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Wait, wait, I'd like to add that those million people
that haven't responded though, elon.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
They are on the bubble.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
You know, I wouldn't say that we're thrilled about it.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
You know, they haven't responded. Now, maybe they don't exist.
Maybe we're paying people that don't exist. Don't forget. We
just got here. This group just got here. But those
people are on the bubble, as they say, you.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Know, they maybe they're going to be gone, maybe they're
not around, Maybe they have other jobs. Maybe they moved
and they're not where they're supposed to be. A lot
of things could have happened. I wouldn't say that Biden
ran a very tight administration. They spent money like nobody's
ever spent money before, wasted money, the Green new scam,
all of the different things they spent money on. And
(21:10):
you've seen that. You've seen that with some of the
things that I read in speeches. I read them and
people can't believe when I read them. Twenty million here,
thirty million here for you know, a little educational course
so on something circumcision, right, circumcision twenty million dollars to
(21:31):
inform the people of such and such a country on
other things and other things other than that. So, yeah,
those people are right now. We're trying to find out
who those people are that haven't responded. Now, there'll be
some agencies, like Marco has people within state that are
right now doing very classified, very confidential work.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
And we understand that.
Speaker 9 (21:53):
We've talked, and you know, we're being a little more surgical,
and Marco's doing a lot of things himself and some
of the secretaries are whether it be going to them,
We're going to be talking about it today.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
We're going to ask them to do their own doors.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
In other words, they'll look in their group and who
I spoke with Lee Zelden and he thinks he's going
to be cutting sixty five or so percent of the
people from environmental and we're going to speed up the
process too.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
At the same time, you had a lot of people
that weren't doing their job.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
They were just obstructionists, and a lot of people that
didn't exist.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I guess Lee too, you found a lot of.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Empty spots that the people weren't there, they didn't exist.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
And I think education is going to be one of those.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
You go around Washington, you see all these buildings for
the Department of Education.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
We want to move education back to the states where
it belongs.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
Iowa should have education, Indiana should run their own education.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
You're going to see education go way up.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Right now, we're ranked at the very bottom of the list,
but we're at the top of the list in one thing,
the costs for pupil We spend more money per people
than any other country of the world. And yet it's
Denmark and Norway, Sweden, and you hate to say this,
and you know we're going to get along very well
with China, but it's a competitor. At the top of
(23:15):
the list, they're among the top ten usually and they're
a very big country, so we can't use that as
an excuse, right because we're a very big country too.
But we were ranked last time under Biden, we were
ranked forty out of forty. They do the forty certain
nations that they've done for a long time. It seems
to be forty for whatever reason. And we were ranked
(23:37):
number forty. A year ago we were thirty eight, that
we were thirty nine. We hit forty, and so we're
last in that and we're first in court for pupil.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
So I would say that's unacceptable. Lawrence, you have something of.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
A president ley competition, and I know it's early, So
which department are you most impressed with? So what's the
part that you see the most resistance from.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Well, I think both of those questions are a little
bit Well, you're a pretty controversial GUYE.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Look, it's very early right now.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
I think I'm impressed with everybody so far, everybody if
I wasn't in the first month, and some of them
just got here, that just got approved two days ago, right,
But I think I'm very impressed with everybody so far.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I'm very happy with all of the choices.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
I think that Elon has done incredibly with some groups,
and some groups are much easier than it is true.
State is a very difficult situation where right now negotiating
very successfully I think with Russia and with Ukraine, and
we have a lot of countries involved, and we have
to be a little bit careful what we do and
(24:48):
who we're terminating. But Marco is doing that very I
think he's going to be very precise.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
It's going to be we're cutting down government. We're cutting
down the size of government we have to.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
We're bloated, we're sloppy, we have a lot of people
that aren't doing their job.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
We have a lot of people that don't exist. You
look at social Security as an example. I mean, you
have so many people in social.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Security where, if you believe it, they're two hundred years old.
And what we're doing is finding out a check's going
out for that, and as somebody cashing those checks who's
maybe thirty five years old. Okay, so there's a lot
of dishonesty, there's a lot of fraud. But I think
at this moment, I'll take Elon off the spot. I
think that he's impressed. He said it very well better
(25:32):
than I can say that he's impressed with the people
in this room, very impressed, and I am too. And
it's too early to say, but I think everybody's on board.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
They all know we want to balance a budget.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
We want to have a balanced budget within a reasonably
short period of time, meaning maybe by next year or
the year after, but maybe even sooner than that.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
This secure number one issue with the board.
Speaker 11 (25:53):
You just get an information that they are pots off
in the early agents they putting their personal information out there,
these activists and they're just lived in operations and you
got treated.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
On your week. Well, we have activists, that's true.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
A lot of those Yeah, a lot of those activists
are acting illegally, and we'll give that to our Attorney
General and she'll take a look at that very strongly.
But we're also having tremendous support from border patrol from ICE.
The ICE agents have been unbelievable border patrol. Their leadership
at border patrol has been incredible and they're working very well.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
And as you know, and I saw you.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Reporting it this morning, actually we set records on the
least number of illegal aliens coming in migrants coming into
our country that we had that we've had in more
than fifty years. And we did this all within a
period of weeks because we took over a mess.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
The world was pouring in. And remember they.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Were coming in from jails and prisons and mental institutions
and insane asylums, and there were gang members and drug dealers.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Anybody wanted to come in.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
They get and from not just South America, from all
over the world.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
So it's amazing what they've done.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
And Christine and Tom Holman, the job they've done has
been absolutely amazing. We set records for and we want
people to come into our country, by the way, but
they want to come in, they have to come in legally.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
I want that to be really understood.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
We want people in our country, but they have to
come in legally.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Can I follow up that is to President about the
truck old car idea, yeah, yesterday.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
I hope you like it. I wait more information.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
But the question is does this reflect a view on
your part that the American immigration system has never been
properly monetized as you feel should.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Do well, not so much monetized. It hasn't been properly run.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
I get calls from, as an example, companies where they
want to hire the number one student at a school.
A person comes from India, China, Japan, lots of different places,
and they go to Harvard, the Wharton School of Finance,
they go to Yale, they go to all great schools
(28:07):
and they graduate number one in their class and they're
main job offers. But the offer is immediately rescinded because
you have no idea whether or not that person can
stay in the country. I want to be able to
have that person stay in the country. These companies can
go and buy a Gold Card and they can use
it as a matter of recruitment. At the same time,
(28:28):
the company is using that money to pay down debt.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
We're going to pay down a lot of debt with that.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
And I think the gold card is going to be
used by not only for that, they'll be used by companies.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I mean, I could see Apple.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
I've spoken with Tim Cook and by the way, he's
going to make a five hundred billion dollar investment in
the country only because of the results of the election.
And I think because of tariff's he's going to want
to be in the country because of tariffs, because if
you're in the country, there is no tariff. If you're
out of the country, you got to pay tariffs, and
that's going to be a great investment.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
That he's making. I know it's going to be a
great investment.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
But we have to be able to get people in
the country, and we want people that are productive people.
And I will tell you the people that can pay
five minute. They're going to create jobs. They're going to
spend a lot of money on jobs. They're going to
have to pay taxes on that too, So they're going
to be hiring people. They're going to be bringing people
in and companies in. And I don't know, maybe it
(29:23):
will sell like crazy. I happen to think it's going
to sell like crazy. It's a bargain, but we'll go
fairly soon. I think Howard and Scott, a few of
you really are responsible for it. But Howard, if you
want to discuss that for a couple of minutes, I
think i'd like to have you.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
I think it's going to be a very successful.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
Program unmasking the left and holding the right accountable for
their promises.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
America needs Hannity now more than ever ever.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
This is a Sean Hannity show.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Today.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
When we come back, we'll check in with our poster
friend John McLaughlin pull numbers through the roof for Donald
Trump and support for his agenda through the roof as well.
We'll explain next
All right, Leonard skinnered simple man.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
That can only mean one thing on this radio program,
and that is all things simple man. That means all
things Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly at billoreilly dot com.
Mister O'Reilly, sir, how are you? And welcome back?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Thank you for having me as arrange and I am.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
By the way, Why does this sound of your voice
make me laugh? I can't help it, it just does.
I'm Bill O'Reilly and I'm speaking for the folks, and
here we go, and uh, you just.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Crack me up. You're such a dominant personality.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yes, it's a voice of authority. Hannity.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
All right, So combined between the two of us, how
many years have.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
You been in media?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Fifty?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Okay, so eighty five years combined experience between the two
of us.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
That's a lot of time in media, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And it was time well spent for me and I
think for you as well.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I think that we were well In my case, I
was right there at the at the beginning of new media,
I would argue and talk radio only had two hundred,
two hundred and fifty stations when I started, and now
it's exploded to five thousand it's the top format and radio,
and we're now on nearly seven hundred and fifty stations.
(01:49):
And then we were both there for the beginning of
the Fox News Channel, which I would argue is still
new media, although some people would say, well, you've been
on the air twenty nine years, certainly not legacy media.
That would be a false characterization in my view. But
something is going on here. Bill and I have said,
I said an seven, and I've said it many times
(02:11):
that journalism is dead in America. After this election, I
said legacy media is dead in America also because they
threw everything they had at Donald Trump and they turned
a blind eye and supported law fair and weaponization and
all that I won't repeat at all. And since Donald
Trump's election, Nora o'donald is out at CBS, Chuck Todd
(02:35):
is out at MSDNC, Andrea Mitchell is out there as well.
Lester Holt now moved over to be the face of
the franchise called Dateline, and Lester I found to be
a great guy. I know you work with him. He
was always nice to me when he interviewed me on
The Today Show. And now we have Jim fake News.
(02:56):
Acosta is out Joy Reid is out, Alex Wagner is out,
and I don't wish anybody ill Bill my success. Your
success is not predicated on all the people's failures, so
I'm not dancing on their grave. And you know, for example,
Rachel Maddow went on air and said, this is a
(03:16):
terrible mistake and then implied that there was a racial
component to the firing of Alex Wagner and Joy Reid.
And now MSNBC DNC didn't really care because they now
fired most of her staff.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
My big question, what is going on?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Well, you've come to the right place, Kennedy.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
See this is why you cracked me up. Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I am the last of a breed. I was a
network correspondent at CBS and ABC, CBS under rather at
ABC under Jennings. That was old school, and I covered
stories all over the world that have been eighty six
countries and I amassed an amazing amount of experience doing that.
(04:05):
Covered wars of Berlin, wall coming down, trafficking in Thailand,
you name it, I was there. So what has happened
is that there were three signatures about the news media
in America Watergate, and that changed everything because the Washington
(04:26):
post brought down Nixon the Iraq War, where the media
and mass turned against Bush the younger because while we
did the right thing by deposing Saddam Hussein, the nation
building did not work and Trump. As soon as Trump
(04:47):
gained power, the media basically collectively said, we don't have
to go by the old rules of checking our sources,
of trying to get both sides of the story. We
think he's dangerous, we don't like him, so our missing
changes from reporting to the American people to trying to
(05:10):
destroy Donald Trump. Once you're into the activist realm, which
is where the corporate media is today, then you lose
all journalistic credibility. Now, it took a while for the
folks to catch on, but now they have and it's
(05:31):
all because of Joe Biden. This is fascinating, Hannity. Joe
Biden did such a terrible job that every single American
was affected negatively by him. Yet the corporate media kept
telling all of us what a great job he was doing.
(05:51):
There was no problem with him. And that was the
tipping point into the folks turning again. They hate Trump
cadre of media, and now they're scared. Comcast, NBC, CBS, ABC, Disney.
(06:13):
They're scared because Trump is coming after them, unprecedented in
American history. Teddy Roosevel pretty tough on a press, but
he didn't have TV, didn't have radio. But this has
never happened before. We're the most powerful man in the
world is coming after media corporations. So how about that
(06:37):
for a summation.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't think he's coming after them. He's holding them accountable,
and I think it's it's warranted.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
No, I went through.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I did an interview with the website. It's a sort
of a trade website called Mediaite, and they cover the
news industry. And you know, I don't do many interviews.
I just don't. I don't have time for it. I
don't need it because I have my own platforms and
I just but I wanted to do it, and I
(07:11):
did it. And in the course of this interview, I
kept pointing out certain things. The media never asked Kamala
why she wants to use taxpayer dollars to pay for
sex change operations for convicts and illegal immigrants, or her
running mate wanted free college tuition taxpayer funded college tuition
(07:31):
for illegals. They never asked Kamala Harris about her comments.
We had five hundred and seventy four riots in the
summer of twenty twenty, and when you look at the
coverage of January sixth, compared to the five hundred and
seventy four riots in the summer of twenty twenty, Bill
dozens of Americans died. We had cops, thousands injured, pelted
(07:53):
with bricks, rocks, bottles, molotov cocktails, and we had billions
of property damage, and we had a ton of evidence
and it was mostly ignored. And Kamala said on Stephen Colbert,
they're not going to stop, and they shouldn't stop, and
we're not going to stop. She didn't get asked a
single question on that during the campaign, Bill and that,
(08:13):
to me is a dereliction of duty on their part.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Thoughts, Well, you're pointing out corruption. That's what you're pointing out.
But I disagree with you.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
But it's all it's not just corruption.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Isn't it why they lost why they're losing audience and
people didn't trust them any longer. They were lied to
about the cognitive state, immigration, the economy. You're right, but
also lied to them on other issues.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
There are many other issues, but that's corruption. And when
you have a corruption and the people understand the corruption,
they walk away or they vote you out. But I
disagree with you about Trump, and let me make my
case because it's fascinating story. Trump has an obligation.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
He's coming from you. Of course, it's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Go ahead, yeah, I mean that's why I'm me.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Oh man, you are feeling it to I.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Go all right. Trump is an obligation to basically try
to stop the media corruption. He's the president. He's the president.
If his people, Americans are getting hurt by giant corporations
misleading them and lying to them, the president is an
(09:25):
obligation to try to stop it. Wouldn't you agree?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I agree, and I think especially those were broadcast licenses. Sure,
that is a gift from the people and with it
comes a responsibility right to that.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
So Trump is trying to expose and mitigate the damage
done by these corrupt agencies. He's doing it three way lawsuits,
exposure in the overall office by just calling them out
and not saying access like he did with the AP
(10:03):
because he believed it's not about the Gulf of Mexico
to Golf of Maria. That's just the pretense he believes
that the Associated Press is not an honest, brokele of information.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Well, they're not. I would argue that they're not. I mean,
did they ever.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Agree. I made the case on my broadcast and no
Spin News. I just took their style book and you
can't say illegal alien you can't. There's a million works
things in there and there has no business being in
any kind of a journalistic style book.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Well, I think that the corruption goes even beyond woke.
I mean, we got the Russia hoax right, everyone else
in the media got it wrong, and I had to
work hard for three years to get to the bottom
of that, and we unpeeled every layer of that onion.
And the same with FAISA abuse, and the same with
a weaponized justice system, and the same with a dual
system of justice, not equal justice.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
When they rated Mara a Lago.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
But they didn't go after Joe and Hillary for the
same offense we talked about, you know, all of it.
For example, nobody in the media corrected the false valuation
of judging Goron of eighteen million dollars in maur A Lago.
You and I both know it's worth a billion or more.
It's just the and it sounds crazy, but that's the
prices of Palm Beach, Florida. Insane, but that's that's the price.
(11:25):
And they didn't care about, you know, stacked charges by
Alvin Bragg for a case at legal NDA labeled as
an NDA put together by a lawyer and then turned
into this novel federal legal theory which they had no
authority or jurisdiction, and they stacked thirty four charges on it.
(11:46):
The statute of limitations had run out, but they didn't care.
They just wanted to get Trump. Get Trump.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
That's right. And now because of Biden, people know that
to fix was in and has been in for almost
ten years, so that when Trump goes after the media,
now the media doesn't have any defenders anymore, and they're
losing the court cases and the people aren't behind them,
(12:15):
which is why, getting back to the original premise, NBC
cut loose, MSNBC, MSNBC not part of NBC anymore. They're
not in the same building. They can't use the NBC
reporters and Comcast NBC wants to sell it. If you
want to buy it, you got enough money, you could
buy it. I think Alexander.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Sorrows what do you mean if I have enough money,
I could buy it. You could buy it. You go
buy it.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Well, if it's on sale, I could buy it, but
you could buy you could buy it all sale.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Thanks a lot of Riley Anyway, Why would Why would
I want a failing network to keep going?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Why you did they turn it into a paragon of virtue, Hannity, You.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Put me I think, I think I'm comfortable in my
lane right here. I'm staying with what I know.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
But what I'm saying is is up for sale. Anybody
listening and got a lot of money, and it wouldn't
be a lot. NBC would give you a big sale
on that. And that's why they're firing everybody and booting
everybody out of there, because they want to stream it
down for a sale. CBS is basically surrendered, all right.
They put two guys that nobody ever heard of in
(13:23):
for Norah O'Donnell, and Disney is pretty much giving Trump
everything Trump wants because of the Stepanopolis thing. I mean,
Disney gave Trump seventeen million dollars to build his library
and your backyard, I understand that's where it's going. Trump
Library is going in Hany's backyard. It's how big a
backyard he has.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
It's gonna say, welcome to Hannity's house. To Trump library,
sure that's right next door.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
And then McGee interviews very easy or does walk across
and you short pant, They're already pretty easy and as
much as mar A Lago's not that far away.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
But look, I think that there's a re alignment going
on and if you don't offer your audience truth and
news and information. And I went through this whole thing
in the media. I had interview of all the times
I've been right and the media has been wrong. And
the reason is is because I care to get it right.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Bill, I do. I am. I am political, but I'm
also I believe in truth.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
The foundation of your success is that your audience on
radio and television trust what you say. And I have
the same foundation, so I know it well. But yeah,
we don't work. You do, but not really because you've
been there so long, they're not going to mess with
you at Fox. But I don't work for anybody anymore.
I work for myself.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And I work for Fox. I mean, I have no.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Compunctions about saying that I have, but they do. They
let they have faith in me because I have a
good track record.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah, but they're not gonna mess with you, Annie, I
mean just not. And you're you're in a unique position
because almost everybody else working for the media companies better
do what they're told to do.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
What you were there, you were never told what to do,
and I've never been told what to do, and I
appreciate that freedom and that's not the case in other places.
But mister O'Reilly, it's always enlightening, fun and entertaining. We
appreciate your insightful wisdom and commentary.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Appreciate me on. Thanks, We see you next week.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
All things at O'Reilly a billoreilly dot com. Quick break
right back will continue. So the President Hannah's first cabinet meeting,
as I mentioned earlier today, twenty five members and others
were there.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Elon Musk was there.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Steve Witcoff I noticed was there, and it was pretty
amazing and it's worth running. It's such a dramatic change
from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Let's listen it.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Would you have any.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Questions of Elon while we're on the subject of those,
because we'll finish off with that and if you would
have any questions, please ask you could ask me or
Elon go ahead, please, thank you.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Thank you, and just must I just wanted to ask
you that President Trump put out a truth social today.
You're saying, is that everybody in the Canada was happy
with you?
Speaker 7 (16:09):
I just wondered if that's if you had heard otherwise,
and if you had heard anything about members of the
cabinet who weren't happy with the way things were going,
and if so.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
What are you doing to address those Any dissatisfaction must.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Have left the cabinet speak for. Is anybody unhappy with Alan?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
If you are, well throw them out here.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah. I have a lot of respect for Elan and
that he's doing.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
This, and some disagree a little bit, but I will
tell you, for the most part, I think everyone's not
only happy that the rill so go ahead, Elin great.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
President Trump has put together I think the best hapbinet ever.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Literally so, and I do not give false praise this.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
This is an incredible group of people. I don't think
that such a talented team has actually ever been assembled.
I think it's literally the best cabinet that the country
has ever had, and I think the company should be.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Incredibly appreciative of the people in this room.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Please yeah, President, thank you, mister Musk.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Are about half of the government.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Employees so far appre to have responded to your request
for what they've been doing over the past week. Is
there a timeline in place for next moves for people
being fired and monk? In the American people expect to
see results.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Yes, Well, to be too clear, like the I think
that emailers it's besially interpret it as a performance review,
but actually it was a pulse check review.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Do you have a pass?
Speaker 8 (17:51):
You have a pulse and two neurons, So if you
have a pass in two neurons, you can apply to
an email. This is, you know, I think not a
high bar, is what I'm saying. This is should be
anyone could accomplish this. But what we all trying to
get to the bottom of is we think there are
a number of people on the government payroll who are dead,
(18:13):
which is partly why they can't respond, and and some
people who are not real people like that literally fictional
individuals that are collecting paychecks. All some of these collecting
paychecks on a fictional individual. So we're just literally trying
to figure out all these people real are they alive
and can they right an email? Which I think is
a reasonable expectation for you know, the American public would
(18:34):
have at least that expectation of someone in the public center.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
This is it's not a high bar.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Guys, go ones have responded so far to this email.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Does that mean that the remaining one million or so
federal employees now.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Risk being terminated?
Speaker 7 (18:51):
And is it your understanding and expectation when you post
a directive on X that the cabinet secretaries will follow
that order because several agencies have instructed employees that this
is voluntary or not to respond.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, well, I mean to so.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
I guess it was like last week President encouraged me
via truth social and also via phone call to be
more aggressive. And I was like, okay, you know, yes, sir,
it's president. We will do that. With their president's commander
in chief, I do what the President asked. So and
(19:28):
I said, can we send out an email to everyone
just saying what did you get at last week? And
the President said yes. So it did that, and you know,
we got a partial response. We're going to send another email,
but our goal is not to be capricious or unfair.
It's we want to give people every opportunity to send
(19:49):
an email, and the email could simply be what I'm
working on is too sensitible classified to describe, like literally,
just that would be sufficient.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
You know, I this is just common sense. Hey, what
is your target.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
Number for how many Borders employees you're looking to castle?
Speaker 8 (20:08):
We wish to keep everyone who is doing a job
that is essential and doing that job well. But if
they're if the job is not essential, or they're not
doing a job well, the opposite should not be on
the public perild.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
You'd like to wait a minute.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Wait, wait, I'd like to add that those million people
that haven't responded though, elon.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
They are on the bubble.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
You know, I wouldn't say that we're thrilled about it.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
You know, they haven't responded. Now, maybe they don't exist.
Maybe we're paying people that don't exist. Don't forget. We
just got here. This group just got here. But those
people are on the bubble, as they say, you.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Know, they maybe they're going to be gone, maybe they're
not around, Maybe they have other jobs. Maybe they moved
and they're not where they're supposed to be. A lot
of things could have happened. I wouldn't say that Biden
ran a very tight administration. They spent money like nobody's
ever spent money before, wasted money, the Green new scam,
all of the different things they spent money on. And
(21:10):
you've seen that. You've seen that with some of the
things that I read in speeches. I read them and
people can't believe when I read them. Twenty million here,
thirty million here for you know, a little educational course
so on something circumcision, right, circumcision twenty million dollars to
(21:31):
inform the people of such and such a country on
other things and other things other than that. So, yeah,
those people are right now. We're trying to find out
who those people are that haven't responded. Now, there'll be
some agencies, like Marco has people within state that are
right now doing very classified, very confidential work.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
And we understand that.
Speaker 9 (21:53):
We've talked, and you know, we're being a little more surgical,
and Marco's doing a lot of things himself and some
of the secretaries are whether it be going to them,
We're going to be talking about it today.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
We're going to ask them to do their own doors.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
In other words, they'll look in their group and who
I spoke with Lee Zelden and he thinks he's going
to be cutting sixty five or so percent of the
people from environmental and we're going to speed up the
process too.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
At the same time, you had a lot of people
that weren't doing their job.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
They were just obstructionists, and a lot of people that
didn't exist.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I guess Lee too, you found a lot of.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Empty spots that the people weren't there, they didn't exist.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
And I think education is going to be one of those.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
You go around Washington, you see all these buildings for
the Department of Education.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
We want to move education back to the states where
it belongs.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
Iowa should have education, Indiana should run their own education.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
You're going to see education go way up.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Right now, we're ranked at the very bottom of the list,
but we're at the top of the list in one thing,
the costs for pupil We spend more money per people
than any other country of the world. And yet it's
Denmark and Norway, Sweden, and you hate to say this,
and you know we're going to get along very well
with China, but it's a competitor. At the top of
(23:15):
the list, they're among the top ten usually and they're
a very big country, so we can't use that as
an excuse, right because we're a very big country too.
But we were ranked last time under Biden, we were
ranked forty out of forty. They do the forty certain
nations that they've done for a long time. It seems
to be forty for whatever reason. And we were ranked
(23:37):
number forty. A year ago we were thirty eight, that
we were thirty nine. We hit forty, and so we're
last in that and we're first in court for pupil.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
So I would say that's unacceptable. Lawrence, you have something of.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
A president ley competition, and I know it's early, So
which department are you most impressed with? So what's the
part that you see the most resistance from.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Well, I think both of those questions are a little
bit Well, you're a pretty controversial GUYE.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Look, it's very early right now.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
I think I'm impressed with everybody so far, everybody if
I wasn't in the first month, and some of them
just got here, that just got approved two days ago, right,
But I think I'm very impressed with everybody so far.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I'm very happy with all of the choices.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
I think that Elon has done incredibly with some groups,
and some groups are much easier than it is true.
State is a very difficult situation where right now negotiating
very successfully I think with Russia and with Ukraine, and
we have a lot of countries involved, and we have
to be a little bit careful what we do and
(24:48):
who we're terminating. But Marco is doing that very I
think he's going to be very precise.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
It's going to be we're cutting down government. We're cutting
down the size of government we have to.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
We're bloated, we're sloppy, we have a lot of people
that aren't doing their job.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
We have a lot of people that don't exist. You
look at social Security as an example. I mean, you
have so many people in social.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Security where, if you believe it, they're two hundred years old.
And what we're doing is finding out a check's going
out for that, and as somebody cashing those checks who's
maybe thirty five years old. Okay, so there's a lot
of dishonesty, there's a lot of fraud. But I think
at this moment, I'll take Elon off the spot. I
think that he's impressed. He said it very well better
(25:32):
than I can say that he's impressed with the people
in this room, very impressed, and I am too. And
it's too early to say, but I think everybody's on board.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
They all know we want to balance a budget.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
We want to have a balanced budget within a reasonably
short period of time, meaning maybe by next year or
the year after, but maybe even sooner than that.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
This secure number one issue with the board.
Speaker 11 (25:53):
You just get an information that they are pots off
in the early agents they putting their personal information out there,
these activists and they're just lived in operations and you
got treated.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
On your week. Well, we have activists, that's true.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
A lot of those Yeah, a lot of those activists
are acting illegally, and we'll give that to our Attorney
General and she'll take a look at that very strongly.
But we're also having tremendous support from border patrol from ICE.
The ICE agents have been unbelievable border patrol. Their leadership
at border patrol has been incredible and they're working very well.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
And as you know, and I saw you.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Reporting it this morning, actually we set records on the
least number of illegal aliens coming in migrants coming into
our country that we had that we've had in more
than fifty years. And we did this all within a
period of weeks because we took over a mess.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
The world was pouring in. And remember they.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Were coming in from jails and prisons and mental institutions
and insane asylums, and there were gang members and drug dealers.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Anybody wanted to come in.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
They get and from not just South America, from all
over the world.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
So it's amazing what they've done.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
And Christine and Tom Holman, the job they've done has
been absolutely amazing. We set records for and we want
people to come into our country, by the way, but
they want to come in, they have to come in legally.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
I want that to be really understood.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
We want people in our country, but they have to
come in legally.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Can I follow up that is to President about the
truck old car idea, yeah, yesterday.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
I hope you like it. I wait more information.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
But the question is does this reflect a view on
your part that the American immigration system has never been
properly monetized as you feel should.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Do well, not so much monetized. It hasn't been properly run.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
I get calls from, as an example, companies where they
want to hire the number one student at a school.
A person comes from India, China, Japan, lots of different places,
and they go to Harvard, the Wharton School of Finance,
they go to Yale, they go to all great schools
(28:07):
and they graduate number one in their class and they're
main job offers. But the offer is immediately rescinded because
you have no idea whether or not that person can
stay in the country. I want to be able to
have that person stay in the country. These companies can
go and buy a Gold Card and they can use
it as a matter of recruitment. At the same time,
(28:28):
the company is using that money to pay down debt.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
We're going to pay down a lot of debt with that.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
And I think the gold card is going to be
used by not only for that, they'll be used by companies.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I mean, I could see Apple.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
I've spoken with Tim Cook and by the way, he's
going to make a five hundred billion dollar investment in
the country only because of the results of the election.
And I think because of tariff's he's going to want
to be in the country because of tariffs, because if
you're in the country, there is no tariff. If you're
out of the country, you got to pay tariffs, and
that's going to be a great investment.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
That he's making. I know it's going to be a
great investment.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
But we have to be able to get people in
the country, and we want people that are productive people.
And I will tell you the people that can pay
five minute. They're going to create jobs. They're going to
spend a lot of money on jobs. They're going to
have to pay taxes on that too, So they're going
to be hiring people. They're going to be bringing people
in and companies in. And I don't know, maybe it
(29:23):
will sell like crazy. I happen to think it's going
to sell like crazy. It's a bargain, but we'll go
fairly soon. I think Howard and Scott, a few of
you really are responsible for it. But Howard, if you
want to discuss that for a couple of minutes, I
think i'd like to have you.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
I think it's going to be a very successful.
