Speaker 2 (01:43):
All right, Leonard Skinner's simple man.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
That can only mean one thing on this radio program,
and that is all things self proclaimed simple man. That
is all things bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly bill O'Reilly
dot com mist O'Reilly, sir. I'm headed to Alaska. I've
into forty nine out of the fifty states. The state
that I've been most obsessed with is the state of Alaska.
(02:07):
And after the trip that I will be, we'll be
broadcasting from Alaska tomorrow and on Friday, and we'll have
the first interview with President Trump post the Plutin Summit.
But I'm obsessed with shows like Light Below Zero, Deadliest Catch.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Do you like those shows? I love those shows.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I don't have a lot of time to watch those shows, Hanny,
I'm too busy thinking.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But you're too busy.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Okay, you really have never seen the show Deadliest Catch.
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I've been to Alaska three times. Watch out for bears,
that's number one. They just pop up and here's no
When you get there, fall will be underway, so you'll
get some foliage. And if you have time, I know
you're going to be very busy, but it's worth a
(03:00):
quick trip out to Denale to Mount McKinley just to
take a look. But anyway, Alaska is a head eating statement.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Bill.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I'm broadcasting, I'm doing radio and TV, and you think
I'm gonna have time to go on a sightseeing tour.
But let's move on to the bigger issue here. I
want to get to in a second how you will
define success, because I don't think there is any issue
of success or failure for President Trump, and I'll explain
(03:29):
that too in a second. But I love the fact that,
unlike most politicians where they wring their hands and they
have their political advisors and they're calculating the upside and
the downside before they dare do anything big, President Trump
just dives right in and he's not thinking about the
consequences of the outcome. You and I both know him.
(03:51):
We know this man really well. And if this summit
isn't going well, he said he'd know in two minutes
if he thinks he can get a deal, and also
warned that Russia will face very severe consequences if Putin
continues the Ukrainian War after this summit. But here's a guy,
and he's only been back in the second term India, Pakistan, Israel, Iran, Rwanda,
(04:16):
to Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Cambodia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Egyptopia, Ethiopia,
and he put himself in the middle of all of
those piece deals. And you got to give the guy
credit for trying and putting himself out there.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Most politicians won't do that.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Okay, a number of things I think there you well.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You agree with that, right, I mean what other politicians
won't wring their hands, ask their advisors.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
He just dives in. He doesn't care what I.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Wrote today in the messages today, I'm Billowiley dot com.
Is he's artist, working president in modern times, and there's
no doubt about that. But I know the things about
this Alaska chat. So number one, you can't threaten Putin,
and Trump knows that you can't go in and look glad,
(05:10):
if you don't stop murdering women and children, we're going
to break your economy. He can't put it that way,
all right. What you have to do is number one,
say do you think we can reach some common ground here?
And let Putin then spell out Before Trump spells out,
Putin goes first what he believes is possible. Okay, this
(05:33):
is what I will do, or I could do. And remember,
Putin lives in a bubble. He's not in a country
or a sear that has any freedom at all. He
has no descent, he has no press that's going to
backbite him, has none of that. He just lives isolated
and he does what he wants. But at this point
he knows that he is embarrassed President Trump. Putin has
(05:56):
embarrassed Trump because Trump gave him so much benefit of
the death when he came into office in January. Now
that is the key to Putin's reality check. You put
the most important thing for Donald Trump in his life
is his presidential legacy, and that means he wants to
(06:17):
accomplish things to help the country. If he goes to
a meeting and Putin embarrasses him, boyle boy, is going
to be bad for Putin. I'll tell you what. It's
going to really be bad. And I know that for
a fact, but you can't say that to the man.
These are very delicate negotiations, and I expect that Putin
(06:38):
and Trump will go into a room alone. I think
you know this. But when Trump is with Putin, Putin
speaks English. He Putin doesn't speak English in public, but
he does speak English to Trump, and I think there
will be that room encounter and He's going to go
to look, we got to stop this, and you who
(07:00):
have to cooperate in this, We're not going to try
to embarrass you. That's important for Putin, but you're not
going to embarrass us, and so it's up to you.
You're the only guy who can stop it. And that's true.
Putin is the only man who can stop this slaughter.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
So I don't think there's any risk for Trump going
into this. And let me tell you why. Going into
the summit, the President has done three very critical things
that have that I think brought Putin to the table.
Finally he tried the nice route. And it's not his
fault that Putin has no problem, no conscience, and no soul,
and he's vulna killing his men, women and children. This
(07:40):
is Joe Biden's war. President Trump's trying to clean up
his mess. So let's let's let's lay that foundation. Well,
what the President very cleverly has done he put a
fifty percent tariff on India if they import any Russian
oil now, for the whole economy of Russia is based
on energy. He also made a trade deal with the
(08:03):
European Union, and the way that Putin has been able
to fund his war machine is again selling energy to
Western Europe. And as part of that deal, Western Europe
now is going to spend about a trillion dollars buying
our energy, not Putin's energy. That got his attention. Also,
President Trump said, Okay, you're not stopping. You won't stop.
(08:27):
Now he's giving Ukraine an opportunity to buy our weapons.
Unlike Joe Biden, he's not giving Ukraine our weapons. He
doesn't believe in in No for He believes in no
Forever wars. Those three things, to me got Putin's attention
because now the funding of his war machine is in jeopardy.
(08:48):
And I think in terms of the question is going
to be whether or not Putin his territorial demands are
so excessive that there's no opportunity to be a deal,
or if he's unwilling to give Ukraine the ability to
defend itself in the future from a possible third invasion
(09:09):
by Vladimir.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That's my take.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Well, I disagree with you that there isn't a downside
for Trump. There is if he comes back and Putin
because you can't control what Putin's going to say, and
goes back to Moscow and starts to diminish Trump, which
I don't think is going to happen, but it's possible,
and starts to strut around, going, hey, he's not going
(09:33):
to tell me what to do. That'll hurt Trump. So
Trump's got to have Plan B in his pocket very specifically. Now,
you left out a very important equation here, and that's China. China,
I believe is talking back channels to President Trump. I
know that to be true. And that's why there is
an extension. The tariff that was supposed to kick in
(09:56):
today did not kick in. All right. He gave China
ninety more days and there'll be a deal with China
before that time. But China can wreck Vladimir Putin can
destroy him, and I think, but I can't say for
sure that Trump has already negotiated a Putin factor with Beijing.
(10:20):
He's going to drop that at some point. Private lead
of Ladd, because China's future is that.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
How you're afraid of Vladimir your buddy blads that you
call him lad? Are you on a first name bases
with him?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Well, he should fear me you. I hope you read
the chapter in Confronting Evil that comes out September ninth,
because the whole world is going to know what this
guy's all about.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
He's he's he's been KGB evil his entire life.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, but people don't know the extent of it. And
they don't know why, and they don't know how. He
thinks I do, and but I know that Ladd is
a chess player, and he's got to know that Beijing
and Trump are talking, and they're talking about Kim. That
(11:08):
is the most important thing, and that will not be
made public. You can ask Trump about it, but I
don't think he's going to give you very much on it.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
There's a lot of things that go on behind the
scenes that nobody ever knows about. In a situation like
this Bill, there's no doubt about it. And you say
there's a huge downside, the only huge downside will be
the chatter of the you know, punditry class and the
legacy media mob that want him to fail. You know,
(11:38):
I just mentioned a lot of success that he's had
just in this second term alone. He played a big
role in India and Pakistan reaching a piece. He played
a big role in Israel and Iran stop in their
conflict in twelve days. He played a big role in
Rwanda and the Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Cambodia, Armenia, Azerbaijan. Now,
if you want to talk about the ability to embarrass people,
(12:00):
Donald Trump can stand up in two minutes after that
summit starts and say, you know, basically, fu lad your buddy,
and walk out of that room and say you can't
do a deal with him.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
He wants to be Hitler.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
And if he wants to be Hitler, we're going to
arm the Ukrainians and we're going to arm Western Europe.
And if it's game on, I don't care what he
does anymore. So he has power. Also, they both have
power going into this. It's in everyone's best interest. I
don't think either one are going to you know, saber
rattle to that level they both have. They're both nuclear powers.
(12:36):
They don't want to go there. That gives Vladimir strength.
The dumbest thing Ukraine ever did was under Bill Clinton
give up their nuclear weapons. In my view, none of
this would have happened. So regardless, I don't see the
downside the way you do, except for the chatter among
the punditry class and the legacy media. However, whatever happens
(13:01):
on Friday, it either goes great or it's eh, not
so great, or it's going to be laying the foundation
for the future. Because eventually I think we get there.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Okay, I mean, I'm not going to dispute eventually, because
that's likely to happen. But the downside for Trump is
that he's going to have to articulate for Europe and
for Ukraine and for China exactly what happened in this meeting. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Sure, So how would you define success? Because the President
even said, and he had a meeting today with Western
europe leaders, NATO leaders, and Ukraine. How would you Because
I know how this deal is going to go down.
Ukraine is going to have to seed land, especially like
the Dumbas region it was seventy eighty percent Russian national anyway,
(13:55):
land will be swapped, and what Ukraine needs and wants
the most is going to be security guarantees. The best
way to achieve that is for the US to continue
to sell them weapons and the Western Europeans to do
as well, and to also reinforce their armies inside of
Ukraine to prevent a future attack.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
That's how I would define a deal.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Okay, So the definition of success is is a ceasefire
for thirty days and then at the end of that
period of time, there's another meeting, and Ukraine is in
that meeting along with representatives from the EU and lad
Bad evil blad he's back.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
But no, I don't think the two can be in
a room together. I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
All right, well, you whatever, they can work out. One's
in one room, the other's any other room. That's fine
with me. But cease fire for thirty days gives President
Trump a big win, saves thousands of lives as well. Okay,
I think that's doable. You have to understand that. And
(15:02):
this is really now I'm going to go off the
topic a little bit. But did you see me take
apart John Bolton the other night? Did you see that?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I did not see it, but I'm glad you did
because John Bolton's an idiot.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Okay, you need to watch that. Okay, I took him
apart and then I said, you've got to beef with me.
You come right on and you face me. Of course
he can't.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Did he attacked you?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
No, he attracked Trump. He's under he's undermined.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
He's got Trump to derangement syndrome. He's lost it. He's not.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
But there is an important story here. It's not just him.
It's corporations like Comcast that are undermining the security of
the United States. It's not opinion anymore. It's not left
wing right wing anymore. Comcast, one of the most powerful
companies in this country, is undermining American and world security.
(15:59):
Doesn't do and it's clear that they're doing it because
a try.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
How are they doing it? But only have fifteen seconds.
We'll make it quick.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
MSNBC is a now pro propaganda. Anything Trump does is bad.
Everything and anything is bad.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Oh you're just figuring this out. We've known this forever.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
No, but it's at the highest level now you're talking.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, they've absolutely lost it. Listen.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I I do pray for peace for the sake of
the world. I don't want to see more children, pictures
of dead children. I've seen them. I hope we get there.
All things simple, man, Bill O'Reilly or Billoreilly dot com.
Thank you, my friend. Eight hundred and nine four one,
Shawn is a number. You want to be a part
of the program. All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Taz Coco Radio, San Diego. Next, Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Hi, yeah, Hi, John Douglass. You through what you do
for the country. Yeahs The W Show.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Oh, thank you. I'm honored to do it. I'm glad,
glad you called love our friends in San Diego. Also
just sorry you have to pay all the taxes you're
paying indeed.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Indeed, so I just wanted to touch on, you know,
the Putin summon on Friday. I'm just hoping that somebody
is aware that, you know, and they're making that differentiation
between Putin the president and Putin the judoka. I mean,
he's the third highest ranked judo exponent in the world
(17:28):
and as a result, the ideology may they think, you know,
the psyche is totally different. And I'm just hoping that
somebody on outside that's looking at that, because yeah, it's
going to be a bad outcome unless they fully understand
how a judoka manipulates their opponent's massive momentum against like
(17:50):
they do not.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I think there's no doubt Donald Trump knows exactly who
he's dealing with. Hey, he will get a full if
he has I'm sure he's already had it. He has
a full rundown of an assessment of who Vladimir Putin is.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You know, Look, I'll.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Say what he won't say because he's trying to achieve
something here. And if he were to follow in the
Biden path and call him every name in the book.
Then he's not going to get the guy to sit
down and at least discuss the possibility of a ceasefire.
Eventual peace is not going to be any perfect solution.
I blame Biden for all of it. I blame Obama
(18:29):
for all of it. But with that said, it doesn't
mean that he shouldn't try. But what is it in particular?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Now?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I do an eclectic blend of mixed martial arts. I
am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a mixed
martial artist. I don't consider myself one. I have skill.
I have a lot of skill. I've been training for
fifteen years. But it's a blend of krav maga, kempo,
Japanese jiu jitsu, situational street fighting, boxing, sticks, play firearms,
(19:00):
et cetera. And I do a lot of core building,
and I do lift. I don't lift heavy heavy weights.
I did for a while, I don't do that anymore.
But a lot of push up set ups, a lot
of you know, I'll try to stay in shape the
best I can.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
John, you know, those days along going for me. But
I do keep my heat a ground in the judoka
community and at a very high level and let's just
put it this way. It was absolutely no surprise. It
was actually predicted, you know, days before the Trump and
Putin meeting, and this is on both of them that
there would be almost immediate escalation and they absolutely know it.
(19:37):
Now this is the third one. What's interesting and what's
kind of I'm puzzled at is why couldn't agree to
meet on you know, American sort But.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I know the backstory. I don't think I think it
was given to me off the record. There were other
sites that were mentioned, and then Alaska came up out
of the blue.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
He agreed to it.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Here we go, we're off to Anchorage, and it's better
than a couple of the other locations that we're mentioned,
I'll put it that way. But what is it about
judo and the level of skill that he has that
you think Trump needs to be dialed into?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Explain it?
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Well, it's the again, it's the whole ideology of mass
in moment. So it's such a calculated I think people
are rightly touched on this when he mentioned the game
of chess, because the game of chest and you know,
high level judo is there's a lot of similarities. But
I believe that everything is already in play. You know,
Putin fully out understands the outcome. Now why he's making
(20:38):
those escalation, you know, decisions you know globally is beyond me.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
But you know, in the I can tell you why
he's saber rattling in the lead up to it, saying
I can keep this going as long as I want.
There's a reason that Trump this week put a fifty
percent tariff on India if they import Russian oil. There's
a reason that Trump made as part of the European
trade deal a billion, you know, a trillion dollars in
(21:03):
energy that they're going to be buying for US.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
There's a reason that President Trump has said We're going
to sell all the weapons that Ukraine wants. All of
this is posturing on both sides leading.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Up to this.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Yes, and that's obviously where where my concern is, because
you know, we saw two escalations. You know, conventionally they
I don't think Putin's got much more than that in
the conventional realm. But you know, the Judoku community and
they were right on the last two times, they're very
fearful that this might be you know, the third escalation
(21:36):
to the to the unthinkable. So yeah, I'm just hoping
that you know, whoever's there on Friday fully understand the
mind of the judoka how they think. You know, very
few people win against them, so, you know, But then
never undressed to make Trump he's you know, he's certainly
a unique man. It's done everything.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But when you really think about it, Trump has the
least to lose in this whole summit. Europe has a
lot to lose. Ukraine has a lot to lose. Trump,
you know, as far as he's concerned, the only thing
he's risking here is political capital. And but he's doing
it because it's it defines who he is. But he
(22:17):
really does it the only the only thing that's gonna happen.
Worst case scenario, all right, let's let's say Putin tries
to embarrass him on the world stage. Trump will come
back twice as hard ten times is hard and embarrass him,
and Trump wills load up Ukraine with more weapons than
they've ever had in their life, and they're gonna pay
for them. He doesn't want that. I don't want that.
(22:40):
If Putin has any sense, I mean, he's their economy
is in shambles and they they've they've They've won a
certain amount of territory, most of which what they really
said they wanted in the beginning. He probably will end
up with a territorial swap on a lot of that,
and hopefully the Ukrainians will get what they need, which
(23:02):
is assurances and an ability to defend themselves to prevent
a third invasion. I mean so, but Europe has the
most to lose here. Ukraine is the most to lose here.
You know, why isn't Macron, Why isn't Why aren't any
of these Western European countries, Why aren't they risking their
political capital? Europe hasn't stepped up to help Ukraine anywhere
(23:25):
near the level that they should. And it's Trump that
now has caused them to contribute more than double what
they were contributing to NATO for their own national security.
And it's Trump that's building out the next generation of weaponry.
I think that there's it's a moment in time where
(23:46):
you hope that common sense prevails and maybe Putin has
paid a big enough price. Maybe Putin sees that the
funding of his war machine will come to a screeching halt.
This is where Donald Trump has a card That's why
I'm not worried about the media or Democrats and the
short term saying Donald Trump failed because they don't want
(24:08):
him to succeed. And I think in the long term
it works out. But I can't guarantee the short term
gonna be fascinating. I can't honestly, I can't wait till Friday.
I can't wait to talk to the President. I'll sit
down with him immediately after the summit ends, and I'm
looking forward to having that conversation with Eric on Fox. Anyway,
(24:29):
I hope it all works out. But you do raise
good points. There is a martial artist mindset that does
lead to mental toughness and mental strength. And you know,
for example, you have to have a certain mindset to
do what I've been doing for fifteen years, which is
(24:50):
sit there on pain day and get the living crap
beat out of you and allow my sense to punch
me as hard as he can in the stomach until
I drop, or to put out your arms and let
him pound and onto my arms to calcify my arms
with the with the thinking that you can't win a
(25:10):
fight if you can't take a punch, doesn't mean somebody
can't knock you out in one punch. They can. You
gotta be careful. I have some skill anyway, but you
respect your opponent. That's a big part of it. Eight
hundred nine four one sewn the car busy phones. Janet
is in the Great State of Georgia. Janet, how are
you glad you called?
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Hi? John? Thank you for taking my call. Yes, I
was stationed up in Alaska, and you will absolutely love it.
It's a different world up there. Go see some of
it if you can. Go on the Kenai Peninsula, go
fishing at the Russian River, go to Homer and get
King Crab. I mean, it's an awesome state. It really is.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I mean, between you and O'Reilly, I think you guys
think I'm going to have all this spare time to just,
you know, go out and see the sights in Alaska.
I wish I would. I am imagine it's going to
be different. Like a lot of American cities that I've
been to, I mean they're very similar. I mean, most
cities have a McDonald's. Most cities have a Burger King,
most cities have a Wendy's. Most cities have a Kentucky
(26:13):
Fried Chicken. Most cities have a strip mall. Most you know,
there's a lot of similarities in a lot of places
you go.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
There are some differences.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
For example, waffle House and cracker Barrel in the south,
on the west coast of the US, although it's coming
to Nashville and Franklin County. In Tennessee, you have In
and Out Burger. You have you know, my favorite Crown
Burger in Utah. There's certain things about certain cities that
stand out. But I gotta imagine am I wrong in
(26:41):
thinking Anchorage is going to be very different?
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Anchorage is different. You know, it has all the normal
stuff like the lower forty eight, but it's a whole
different breed of people and town. It's really cool. Go
out and talk to the people and see everything. The
sky is going to be different, Everything's going to be
different for you. It's a whole different ballgame.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Well, I'm excited about going. I'm obsessed with Alaska and
it's the only state I haven't meant to. I've been
to all the other forty nine states, and I'm I've
been obsessed with it. You ever watch the show Life
Below zero? Do you ever watch Deadliest Catch?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Yeah, but on the key night Peninsula. There's the Russian
River and it has the salmon fishing and fishermen will
be on one side and bears on the other side.
It is so cool to fish on the Russian River.
You know, it's a whole different ball game. I mean,
there's homer you can go on the spits and get
(27:47):
a king crab and just I mean it's really cool.
You need to take a vacation up there and see
Portage Glacier and.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
You know what, I think it's a great idea. I'd
love to take my family, my kids, and I think
that I think it would be just a different life.
This is probably the time of year to go to
It's about it's going to be about sixty three degrees.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I checked the weather yesterday.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Right, Yeah, it's going to be chillier than Florida, that's
for sure.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
But well, that part is my blood is definitely thin.
My tolerance for cold air is not what it.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Used to be.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yeah, you're going to be a little cold. Just watch
out for the mosquitos and the bugs and stuff because
right now in August they're usually very prevalent up there.
And you know, if you see a moose coming, get
out of its way.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Well, I appreciate the advice. If I see a moose coming,
I'm getting out of the way. Sarah Palin when she
wrote her book, and I think I did the first
interview with her, and she tells this story about how
she went moose hunting with her dad before school, and
her dad I think made her if I remember the
(28:58):
story correctly, don't hold me to this that I think
that her dad made her take a bite of the
eyeball or something crazy, or take out the eyeball of
the moose.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
I'm not I don't know, but yeah, yeah, are you
going to get to see President Trump or anybody while
you're up?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
As soon as he's the summit is over and they finish,
I guess he'll probably do a press conference. Then he's
gonna sit down with me, and we're going to do
the first interview with him.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Oh awesome. Tell him high and tell him America's behind
him and we're behind you too.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I appreciate it, you know what. He knows it, and
I will tell him and I give him so much credit,
as I've been saying all day, because most politicians are
not going to be willing to take the risks that
he's taking, and he is. I mean, O'Reilly's not wrong
in the sense that, Yeah, I mean, the media would
(29:55):
be unmerciful if if something good doesn't come out of it.
But that's not the definition of success for me, and
I don't think it would be the definition of success
for him. But most politicians, they'd wring their hands, they'd
have their advisors, they talk about all the possible downsides
and then probably air on the side of caution and
never even attempt or try. And with all the success
(30:19):
he's had with peace deals up to this point, I
think that it's definitely a risk worth taking. It's sad
to see dead children. Is not going to be a
perfect agreement in this, but if the hostilities come to
an end and an agreement is eventually made, I think
that's progress. Certainly, there's no leader on the world stage
besides him that could even even attempt this, So I
(30:42):
like that he's doing it. Yeah, I agree, all right, Jenny,
love our friends in Georgia. I lived there for four
wonderful years.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
All right, quick freak, we'll come right back. When we
come back, we'll check in with Congressman Byron Donald's we'll
also get your calls in as well. Here's our toll
free number. It's eight hundred and ninety four to one
shown if you want to be a part of the program.
As we continue
Well, we come in to your city.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Wanna way, I again.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Tales and saying you a conscious will be.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Telling and if you want a little banging.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
A yuni, I come along.
Speaker 5 (00:19):
I'm going in to speak to Vladimir Pootin and I'm
gonna be telling him you gotta end this war.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You gotta end it.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
I like Hunless. She's a fun one, but she was
her core consultants.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
You know, we're heavily influenced by very wealthy people. Listen.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
You may say to yourself, well, those aren't the rules.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
There are no reps in this game.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
For the rules. We are gonna win whatever it takes.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Freedom is back in style.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Welcome to the revolution.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Coming.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
To your sea way against talis and saying you a
conscious son.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Sean Hennity show more I'm the scenes, information on freaking
news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
All right, Leonard Skinner's simple man.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
That can only mean one thing on this radio program,
and that is all things self proclaimed simple man. That
is all things bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly bill O'Reilly
dot com mist O'Reilly, sir. I'm headed to Alaska. I've
into forty nine out of the fifty states. The state
that I've been most obsessed with is the state of Alaska.
(02:07):
And after the trip that I will be, we'll be
broadcasting from Alaska tomorrow and on Friday, and we'll have
the first interview with President Trump post the Plutin Summit.
But I'm obsessed with shows like Light Below Zero, Deadliest Catch.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Do you like those shows? I love those shows.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I don't have a lot of time to watch those shows, Hanny,
I'm too busy thinking.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But you're too busy.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Okay, you really have never seen the show Deadliest Catch.
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I've been to Alaska three times. Watch out for bears,
that's number one. They just pop up and here's no
When you get there, fall will be underway, so you'll
get some foliage. And if you have time, I know
you're going to be very busy, but it's worth a
(03:00):
quick trip out to Denale to Mount McKinley just to
take a look. But anyway, Alaska is a head eating statement.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Bill.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I'm broadcasting, I'm doing radio and TV, and you think
I'm gonna have time to go on a sightseeing tour.
But let's move on to the bigger issue here. I
want to get to in a second how you will
define success, because I don't think there is any issue
of success or failure for President Trump, and I'll explain
(03:29):
that too in a second. But I love the fact that,
unlike most politicians where they wring their hands and they
have their political advisors and they're calculating the upside and
the downside before they dare do anything big, President Trump
just dives right in and he's not thinking about the
consequences of the outcome. You and I both know him.
(03:51):
We know this man really well. And if this summit
isn't going well, he said he'd know in two minutes
if he thinks he can get a deal, and also
warned that Russia will face very severe consequences if Putin
continues the Ukrainian War after this summit. But here's a guy,
and he's only been back in the second term India, Pakistan, Israel, Iran, Rwanda,
(04:16):
to Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Cambodia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Egyptopia, Ethiopia,
and he put himself in the middle of all of
those piece deals. And you got to give the guy
credit for trying and putting himself out there.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Most politicians won't do that.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Okay, a number of things I think there you well.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You agree with that, right, I mean what other politicians
won't wring their hands, ask their advisors.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
He just dives in. He doesn't care what I.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Wrote today in the messages today, I'm Billowiley dot com.
Is he's artist, working president in modern times, and there's
no doubt about that. But I know the things about
this Alaska chat. So number one, you can't threaten Putin,
and Trump knows that you can't go in and look glad,
(05:10):
if you don't stop murdering women and children, we're going
to break your economy. He can't put it that way,
all right. What you have to do is number one,
say do you think we can reach some common ground here?
And let Putin then spell out Before Trump spells out,
Putin goes first what he believes is possible. Okay, this
(05:33):
is what I will do, or I could do. And remember,
Putin lives in a bubble. He's not in a country
or a sear that has any freedom at all. He
has no descent, he has no press that's going to
backbite him, has none of that. He just lives isolated
and he does what he wants. But at this point
he knows that he is embarrassed President Trump. Putin has
(05:56):
embarrassed Trump because Trump gave him so much benefit of
the death when he came into office in January. Now
that is the key to Putin's reality check. You put
the most important thing for Donald Trump in his life
is his presidential legacy, and that means he wants to
(06:17):
accomplish things to help the country. If he goes to
a meeting and Putin embarrasses him, boyle boy, is going
to be bad for Putin. I'll tell you what. It's
going to really be bad. And I know that for
a fact, but you can't say that to the man.
These are very delicate negotiations, and I expect that Putin
(06:38):
and Trump will go into a room alone. I think
you know this. But when Trump is with Putin, Putin
speaks English. He Putin doesn't speak English in public, but
he does speak English to Trump, and I think there
will be that room encounter and He's going to go
to look, we got to stop this, and you who
(07:00):
have to cooperate in this, We're not going to try
to embarrass you. That's important for Putin, but you're not
going to embarrass us, and so it's up to you.
You're the only guy who can stop it. And that's true.
Putin is the only man who can stop this slaughter.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
So I don't think there's any risk for Trump going
into this. And let me tell you why. Going into
the summit, the President has done three very critical things
that have that I think brought Putin to the table.
Finally he tried the nice route. And it's not his
fault that Putin has no problem, no conscience, and no soul,
and he's vulna killing his men, women and children. This
(07:40):
is Joe Biden's war. President Trump's trying to clean up
his mess. So let's let's let's lay that foundation. Well,
what the President very cleverly has done he put a
fifty percent tariff on India if they import any Russian
oil now, for the whole economy of Russia is based
on energy. He also made a trade deal with the
(08:03):
European Union, and the way that Putin has been able
to fund his war machine is again selling energy to
Western Europe. And as part of that deal, Western Europe
now is going to spend about a trillion dollars buying
our energy, not Putin's energy. That got his attention. Also,
President Trump said, Okay, you're not stopping. You won't stop.
(08:27):
Now he's giving Ukraine an opportunity to buy our weapons.
Unlike Joe Biden, he's not giving Ukraine our weapons. He
doesn't believe in in No for He believes in no
Forever wars. Those three things, to me got Putin's attention
because now the funding of his war machine is in jeopardy.
(08:48):
And I think in terms of the question is going
to be whether or not Putin his territorial demands are
so excessive that there's no opportunity to be a deal,
or if he's unwilling to give Ukraine the ability to
defend itself in the future from a possible third invasion
(09:09):
by Vladimir.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That's my take.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Well, I disagree with you that there isn't a downside
for Trump. There is if he comes back and Putin
because you can't control what Putin's going to say, and
goes back to Moscow and starts to diminish Trump, which
I don't think is going to happen, but it's possible,
and starts to strut around, going, hey, he's not going
(09:33):
to tell me what to do. That'll hurt Trump. So
Trump's got to have Plan B in his pocket very specifically. Now,
you left out a very important equation here, and that's China. China,
I believe is talking back channels to President Trump. I
know that to be true. And that's why there is
an extension. The tariff that was supposed to kick in
(09:56):
today did not kick in. All right. He gave China
ninety more days and there'll be a deal with China
before that time. But China can wreck Vladimir Putin can
destroy him, and I think, but I can't say for
sure that Trump has already negotiated a Putin factor with Beijing.
(10:20):
He's going to drop that at some point. Private lead
of Ladd, because China's future is that.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
How you're afraid of Vladimir your buddy blads that you
call him lad? Are you on a first name bases
with him?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Well, he should fear me you. I hope you read
the chapter in Confronting Evil that comes out September ninth,
because the whole world is going to know what this
guy's all about.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
He's he's he's been KGB evil his entire life.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, but people don't know the extent of it. And
they don't know why, and they don't know how. He
thinks I do, and but I know that Ladd is
a chess player, and he's got to know that Beijing
and Trump are talking, and they're talking about Kim. That
(11:08):
is the most important thing, and that will not be
made public. You can ask Trump about it, but I
don't think he's going to give you very much on it.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
There's a lot of things that go on behind the
scenes that nobody ever knows about. In a situation like
this Bill, there's no doubt about it. And you say
there's a huge downside, the only huge downside will be
the chatter of the you know, punditry class and the
legacy media mob that want him to fail. You know,
(11:38):
I just mentioned a lot of success that he's had
just in this second term alone. He played a big
role in India and Pakistan reaching a piece. He played
a big role in Israel and Iran stop in their
conflict in twelve days. He played a big role in
Rwanda and the Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Cambodia, Armenia, Azerbaijan. Now,
if you want to talk about the ability to embarrass people,
(12:00):
Donald Trump can stand up in two minutes after that
summit starts and say, you know, basically, fu lad your buddy,
and walk out of that room and say you can't
do a deal with him.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
He wants to be Hitler.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
And if he wants to be Hitler, we're going to
arm the Ukrainians and we're going to arm Western Europe.
And if it's game on, I don't care what he
does anymore. So he has power. Also, they both have
power going into this. It's in everyone's best interest. I
don't think either one are going to you know, saber
rattle to that level they both have. They're both nuclear powers.
(12:36):
They don't want to go there. That gives Vladimir strength.
The dumbest thing Ukraine ever did was under Bill Clinton
give up their nuclear weapons. In my view, none of
this would have happened. So regardless, I don't see the
downside the way you do, except for the chatter among
the punditry class and the legacy media. However, whatever happens
(13:01):
on Friday, it either goes great or it's eh, not
so great, or it's going to be laying the foundation
for the future. Because eventually I think we get there.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Okay, I mean, I'm not going to dispute eventually, because
that's likely to happen. But the downside for Trump is
that he's going to have to articulate for Europe and
for Ukraine and for China exactly what happened in this meeting. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Sure, So how would you define success? Because the President
even said, and he had a meeting today with Western
europe leaders, NATO leaders, and Ukraine. How would you Because
I know how this deal is going to go down.
Ukraine is going to have to seed land, especially like
the Dumbas region it was seventy eighty percent Russian national anyway,
(13:55):
land will be swapped, and what Ukraine needs and wants
the most is going to be security guarantees. The best
way to achieve that is for the US to continue
to sell them weapons and the Western Europeans to do
as well, and to also reinforce their armies inside of
Ukraine to prevent a future attack.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
That's how I would define a deal.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Okay, So the definition of success is is a ceasefire
for thirty days and then at the end of that
period of time, there's another meeting, and Ukraine is in
that meeting along with representatives from the EU and lad
Bad evil blad he's back.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
But no, I don't think the two can be in
a room together. I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
All right, well, you whatever, they can work out. One's
in one room, the other's any other room. That's fine
with me. But cease fire for thirty days gives President
Trump a big win, saves thousands of lives as well. Okay,
I think that's doable. You have to understand that. And
(15:02):
this is really now I'm going to go off the
topic a little bit. But did you see me take
apart John Bolton the other night? Did you see that?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I did not see it, but I'm glad you did
because John Bolton's an idiot.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Okay, you need to watch that. Okay, I took him
apart and then I said, you've got to beef with me.
You come right on and you face me. Of course
he can't.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Did he attacked you?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
No, he attracked Trump. He's under he's undermined.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
He's got Trump to derangement syndrome. He's lost it. He's not.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
But there is an important story here. It's not just him.
It's corporations like Comcast that are undermining the security of
the United States. It's not opinion anymore. It's not left
wing right wing anymore. Comcast, one of the most powerful
companies in this country, is undermining American and world security.
(15:59):
Doesn't do and it's clear that they're doing it because
a try.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
How are they doing it? But only have fifteen seconds.
We'll make it quick.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
MSNBC is a now pro propaganda. Anything Trump does is bad.
Everything and anything is bad.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Oh you're just figuring this out. We've known this forever.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
No, but it's at the highest level now you're talking.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, they've absolutely lost it. Listen.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I I do pray for peace for the sake of
the world. I don't want to see more children, pictures
of dead children. I've seen them. I hope we get there.
All things simple, man, Bill O'Reilly or Billoreilly dot com.
Thank you, my friend. Eight hundred and nine four one,
Shawn is a number. You want to be a part
of the program. All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Taz Coco Radio, San Diego. Next, Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Hi, yeah, Hi, John Douglass. You through what you do
for the country. Yeahs The W Show.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Oh, thank you. I'm honored to do it. I'm glad,
glad you called love our friends in San Diego. Also
just sorry you have to pay all the taxes you're
paying indeed.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Indeed, so I just wanted to touch on, you know,
the Putin summon on Friday. I'm just hoping that somebody
is aware that, you know, and they're making that differentiation
between Putin the president and Putin the judoka. I mean,
he's the third highest ranked judo exponent in the world
(17:28):
and as a result, the ideology may they think, you know,
the psyche is totally different. And I'm just hoping that
somebody on outside that's looking at that, because yeah, it's
going to be a bad outcome unless they fully understand
how a judoka manipulates their opponent's massive momentum against like
(17:50):
they do not.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I think there's no doubt Donald Trump knows exactly who
he's dealing with. Hey, he will get a full if
he has I'm sure he's already had it. He has
a full rundown of an assessment of who Vladimir Putin is.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You know, Look, I'll.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Say what he won't say because he's trying to achieve
something here. And if he were to follow in the
Biden path and call him every name in the book.
Then he's not going to get the guy to sit
down and at least discuss the possibility of a ceasefire.
Eventual peace is not going to be any perfect solution.
I blame Biden for all of it. I blame Obama
(18:29):
for all of it. But with that said, it doesn't
mean that he shouldn't try. But what is it in particular?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Now?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I do an eclectic blend of mixed martial arts. I
am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a mixed
martial artist. I don't consider myself one. I have skill.
I have a lot of skill. I've been training for
fifteen years. But it's a blend of krav maga, kempo,
Japanese jiu jitsu, situational street fighting, boxing, sticks, play firearms,
(19:00):
et cetera. And I do a lot of core building,
and I do lift. I don't lift heavy heavy weights.
I did for a while, I don't do that anymore.
But a lot of push up set ups, a lot
of you know, I'll try to stay in shape the
best I can.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
John, you know, those days along going for me. But
I do keep my heat a ground in the judoka
community and at a very high level and let's just
put it this way. It was absolutely no surprise. It
was actually predicted, you know, days before the Trump and
Putin meeting, and this is on both of them that
there would be almost immediate escalation and they absolutely know it.
(19:37):
Now this is the third one. What's interesting and what's
kind of I'm puzzled at is why couldn't agree to
meet on you know, American sort But.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I know the backstory. I don't think I think it
was given to me off the record. There were other
sites that were mentioned, and then Alaska came up out
of the blue.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
He agreed to it.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Here we go, we're off to Anchorage, and it's better
than a couple of the other locations that we're mentioned,
I'll put it that way. But what is it about
judo and the level of skill that he has that
you think Trump needs to be dialed into?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Explain it?
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Well, it's the again, it's the whole ideology of mass
in moment. So it's such a calculated I think people
are rightly touched on this when he mentioned the game
of chess, because the game of chest and you know,
high level judo is there's a lot of similarities. But
I believe that everything is already in play. You know,
Putin fully out understands the outcome. Now why he's making
(20:38):
those escalation, you know, decisions you know globally is beyond me.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
But you know, in the I can tell you why
he's saber rattling in the lead up to it, saying
I can keep this going as long as I want.
There's a reason that Trump this week put a fifty
percent tariff on India if they import Russian oil. There's
a reason that Trump made as part of the European
trade deal a billion, you know, a trillion dollars in
(21:03):
energy that they're going to be buying for US.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
There's a reason that President Trump has said We're going
to sell all the weapons that Ukraine wants. All of
this is posturing on both sides leading.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Up to this.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Yes, and that's obviously where where my concern is, because
you know, we saw two escalations. You know, conventionally they
I don't think Putin's got much more than that in
the conventional realm. But you know, the Judoku community and
they were right on the last two times, they're very
fearful that this might be you know, the third escalation
(21:36):
to the to the unthinkable. So yeah, I'm just hoping
that you know, whoever's there on Friday fully understand the
mind of the judoka how they think. You know, very
few people win against them, so, you know, But then
never undressed to make Trump he's you know, he's certainly
a unique man. It's done everything.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But when you really think about it, Trump has the
least to lose in this whole summit. Europe has a
lot to lose. Ukraine has a lot to lose. Trump,
you know, as far as he's concerned, the only thing
he's risking here is political capital. And but he's doing
it because it's it defines who he is. But he
(22:17):
really does it the only the only thing that's gonna happen.
Worst case scenario, all right, let's let's say Putin tries
to embarrass him on the world stage. Trump will come
back twice as hard ten times is hard and embarrass him,
and Trump wills load up Ukraine with more weapons than
they've ever had in their life, and they're gonna pay
for them. He doesn't want that. I don't want that.
(22:40):
If Putin has any sense, I mean, he's their economy
is in shambles and they they've they've They've won a
certain amount of territory, most of which what they really
said they wanted in the beginning. He probably will end
up with a territorial swap on a lot of that,
and hopefully the Ukrainians will get what they need, which
(23:02):
is assurances and an ability to defend themselves to prevent
a third invasion. I mean so, but Europe has the
most to lose here. Ukraine is the most to lose here.
You know, why isn't Macron, Why isn't Why aren't any
of these Western European countries, Why aren't they risking their
political capital? Europe hasn't stepped up to help Ukraine anywhere
(23:25):
near the level that they should. And it's Trump that
now has caused them to contribute more than double what
they were contributing to NATO for their own national security.
And it's Trump that's building out the next generation of weaponry.
I think that there's it's a moment in time where
(23:46):
you hope that common sense prevails and maybe Putin has
paid a big enough price. Maybe Putin sees that the
funding of his war machine will come to a screeching halt.
This is where Donald Trump has a card That's why
I'm not worried about the media or Democrats and the
short term saying Donald Trump failed because they don't want
(24:08):
him to succeed. And I think in the long term
it works out. But I can't guarantee the short term
gonna be fascinating. I can't honestly, I can't wait till Friday.
I can't wait to talk to the President. I'll sit
down with him immediately after the summit ends, and I'm
looking forward to having that conversation with Eric on Fox. Anyway,
(24:29):
I hope it all works out. But you do raise
good points. There is a martial artist mindset that does
lead to mental toughness and mental strength. And you know,
for example, you have to have a certain mindset to
do what I've been doing for fifteen years, which is
(24:50):
sit there on pain day and get the living crap
beat out of you and allow my sense to punch
me as hard as he can in the stomach until
I drop, or to put out your arms and let
him pound and onto my arms to calcify my arms
with the with the thinking that you can't win a
(25:10):
fight if you can't take a punch, doesn't mean somebody
can't knock you out in one punch. They can. You
gotta be careful. I have some skill anyway, but you
respect your opponent. That's a big part of it. Eight
hundred nine four one sewn the car busy phones. Janet
is in the Great State of Georgia. Janet, how are
you glad you called?
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Hi? John? Thank you for taking my call. Yes, I
was stationed up in Alaska, and you will absolutely love it.
It's a different world up there. Go see some of
it if you can. Go on the Kenai Peninsula, go
fishing at the Russian River, go to Homer and get
King Crab. I mean, it's an awesome state. It really is.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I mean, between you and O'Reilly, I think you guys
think I'm going to have all this spare time to just,
you know, go out and see the sights in Alaska.
I wish I would. I am imagine it's going to
be different. Like a lot of American cities that I've
been to, I mean they're very similar. I mean, most
cities have a McDonald's. Most cities have a Burger King,
most cities have a Wendy's. Most cities have a Kentucky
(26:13):
Fried Chicken. Most cities have a strip mall. Most you know,
there's a lot of similarities in a lot of places
you go.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
There are some differences.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
For example, waffle House and cracker Barrel in the south,
on the west coast of the US, although it's coming
to Nashville and Franklin County. In Tennessee, you have In
and Out Burger. You have you know, my favorite Crown
Burger in Utah. There's certain things about certain cities that
stand out. But I gotta imagine am I wrong in
(26:41):
thinking Anchorage is going to be very different?
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Anchorage is different. You know, it has all the normal
stuff like the lower forty eight, but it's a whole
different breed of people and town. It's really cool. Go
out and talk to the people and see everything. The
sky is going to be different, Everything's going to be
different for you. It's a whole different ballgame.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Well, I'm excited about going. I'm obsessed with Alaska and
it's the only state I haven't meant to. I've been
to all the other forty nine states, and I'm I've
been obsessed with it. You ever watch the show Life
Below zero? Do you ever watch Deadliest Catch?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Yeah, but on the key night Peninsula. There's the Russian
River and it has the salmon fishing and fishermen will
be on one side and bears on the other side.
It is so cool to fish on the Russian River.
You know, it's a whole different ball game. I mean,
there's homer you can go on the spits and get
(27:47):
a king crab and just I mean it's really cool.
You need to take a vacation up there and see
Portage Glacier and.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
You know what, I think it's a great idea. I'd
love to take my family, my kids, and I think
that I think it would be just a different life.
This is probably the time of year to go to
It's about it's going to be about sixty three degrees.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I checked the weather yesterday.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Right, Yeah, it's going to be chillier than Florida, that's
for sure.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
But well, that part is my blood is definitely thin.
My tolerance for cold air is not what it.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Used to be.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yeah, you're going to be a little cold. Just watch
out for the mosquitos and the bugs and stuff because
right now in August they're usually very prevalent up there.
And you know, if you see a moose coming, get
out of its way.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Well, I appreciate the advice. If I see a moose coming,
I'm getting out of the way. Sarah Palin when she
wrote her book, and I think I did the first
interview with her, and she tells this story about how
she went moose hunting with her dad before school, and
her dad I think made her if I remember the
(28:58):
story correctly, don't hold me to this that I think
that her dad made her take a bite of the
eyeball or something crazy, or take out the eyeball of
the moose.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
I'm not I don't know, but yeah, yeah, are you
going to get to see President Trump or anybody while
you're up?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
As soon as he's the summit is over and they finish,
I guess he'll probably do a press conference. Then he's
gonna sit down with me, and we're going to do
the first interview with him.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Oh awesome. Tell him high and tell him America's behind
him and we're behind you too.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I appreciate it, you know what. He knows it, and
I will tell him and I give him so much credit,
as I've been saying all day, because most politicians are
not going to be willing to take the risks that
he's taking, and he is. I mean, O'Reilly's not wrong
in the sense that, Yeah, I mean, the media would
(29:55):
be unmerciful if if something good doesn't come out of it.
But that's not the definition of success for me, and
I don't think it would be the definition of success
for him. But most politicians, they'd wring their hands, they'd
have their advisors, they talk about all the possible downsides
and then probably air on the side of caution and
never even attempt or try. And with all the success
(30:19):
he's had with peace deals up to this point, I
think that it's definitely a risk worth taking. It's sad
to see dead children. Is not going to be a
perfect agreement in this, but if the hostilities come to
an end and an agreement is eventually made, I think
that's progress. Certainly, there's no leader on the world stage
besides him that could even even attempt this, So I
(30:42):
like that he's doing it. Yeah, I agree, all right, Jenny,
love our friends in Georgia. I lived there for four
wonderful years.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
All right, quick freak, we'll come right back. When we
come back, we'll check in with Congressman Byron Donald's we'll
also get your calls in as well. Here's our toll
free number. It's eight hundred and ninety four to one
shown if you want to be a part of the program.
