That can only 0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:04.880 mean one thing on this radio program, and that is 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:08.680 all things self proclaimed simple man. That means all things 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:12.400 Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly in one place in 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:18.599 the entire universe, which is bill O'Reilly dot com. Mister O'Reilly, sir, 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:21.680 how are you? I know this is your favorite day 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:22.120 of the week. 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.919 Yeah, I'm the same, which is tragic for everyone. No 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:27.160 evolution at all. 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.600 By the way, what the hell is up with you 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:36.239 and Cuomo? I mean, why doesn't Cuomo just listen to 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.479 what you have to say? Why does he feely have 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.760 to debate you because he's not going to win that 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:43.159 debate in my opinion. 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.800 Well thanks for the compliment, I think, but you know 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:52.320 his job is to be a provocateur, challenge You and 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:55.160 I both do that, So I don't have any beef 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.640 in him at all. I mean, I think segment works. 0:00:57.800 --> 0:00:59.400 I know you don't have a beef with them. I 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:04.520 know it's not personal, but you know, actually you know 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:08.040 well people don't know, and we've discussed this on air before, 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.160 is that when we work together at Fox. I mean, 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:12.679 you were kind of a jerk to me and we 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.760 didn't get along, and now we became really good friends, 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.040 you know, since you left, and I've come to really 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.520 understand and admire you. You like to put on this 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.480 tough guy image, but you're not the tough guy you 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:25.240 project to be. You're just not. 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.360 I may have to commit suicide after that comment. 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.000 And the other part of it is nobody knows that 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:39.560 you're actually way more funny than people would expect. You 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.120 are funnier than people know. 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:42.880 Yeah, but that's a low bar. 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.840 That's true. By the way, what is the bar baron Kimmel? 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.120 I mean that that would be a low bar. 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.440 Well, they don't do humor anymore. And we discussed this 0:01:54.600 --> 0:02:01.080 last week, and is that just Kimmel? They just hate 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.760 across the board. And that's what I object to. I 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.920 don't care about the scent to ory mocking politician says 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:13.440 the meanaving in me at all. But when you devote 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:17.240 your whole life to hating, whether it be Jews or 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:22.120 Blacks or Donald Trump, whatever it may be, it's wrong 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:23.440 and it should be. 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.799 Called out, all right, So let me call you out 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.000 on something. So I want to play for you. You know, 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.400 whenever I brought up the issue and You've interviewed Barack 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:36.160 Obama a number of times, and you know you will 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:41.120 say decent things about him, which infuriates me because I 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.600 think it was one of the worst presidents in our lifetime. 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:51.400 I want to play for you him praising Zorn Marxist, Kami, 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:58.400 mom Donnie as an extraordinary talent and then trashing the president. Listen, 0:02:59.080 --> 0:02:59.519 you look. 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.480 At somebody like Mandami, who I think is an extraordinary talent. 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.480 He wants people to be able to afford housing in 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:13.040 New York. Well, you know, I would assume liberals in 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:14.399 New York want the same thing. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.200 That's like spread the wealth around. Remember Joe the Plumber 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.880 back in the day, and Obama said the quiet part 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:26.359 out loud and it became a big controversy because that's 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:31.200 what he's always believed. And now, although he is claiming 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:36.360 that his marriage is apparently suffering somewhat because he feels 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.920 compelled to go out and campaign and be involved in 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.880 politics because of Donald Trump, and his wife apparently's very 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.920 angry at the fact that he does that. 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:51.400 Okay, a couple of things on President Obama. Number one, 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.760 he's always believed in semi socialism. I remember a go 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.760 around I had with him on one of the Super 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:02.760 Bowl interviews where he said, hey, you didn't do that, Bill, 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:07.640 You're not responsible for your success, which I think is 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:12.240 number one, it's insulting. In number two, you know, look, 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.800 if you think Cuba is a great system, then you 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.760 ought to go over and spend a few months there. 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:21.839 And so he's always been in that realm of, yeah, 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:26.039 the government is so responsible for individual success, and you 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.440 owe the government all of this stuff. So thats a 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.080 mindset and he's had the mind So then that's why 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:35.080 it as a gondemn Man Domi. He knows Van Domi 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.960 is dangerous. And this is the second point I want 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.760 to make. What Barack Obama is doing now is trying 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:45.080 to take over the Democratic Party. And I know this 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.800 to be true. So he sees a dearth of leadership. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.520 He sees no one on the horizon who could become 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.400 president in twenty eight, no one on the Democratic side. 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.000 He doesn't have any respect for Kamala Harris at all 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.920 or Joe Biden, never liked them, thought they were buffoons, 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.880 and wants to get away from them. And but he 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.599 wants to be the king maker, whereas that's why you're 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.599 seeing him pop up now taking the shots, and you 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:23.160 know he did Colbert last night. It was ridiculous. It 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:27.040 was just the whole foolish, ridiculous thing. And Colbert goes, well, 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.200 maybe I should run for president. Well maybe you should 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:39.080 self deport to Lithuania. Okay, Colbert. God. So that's what 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:40.840 Barack Obama's agenda is. 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:41.080 Now. 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.320 I don't know anything about his marriage. I would never 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.080 comment on that. We don't do that. You don't do that, 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.719 you know any on O'Reilly one of the two, one 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.200 of the few. I should say that. Don't get into 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.240 the gutter. We don't do this stuff. 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.880 I don't get into it. But it was a comment 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:02.400 that he himself made that you know that Michelle wants 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.040 her husband to ease up on the politics and spend 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.280 more time with her, which I actually would think would 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.400 be a noble goal. And I've never said a bad 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.440 word about their children. As a matter of fact, I've 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.080 complimented them. They seem like good kids, because I think 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.479 it's very hard for children to grow up in the 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:23.880 White House and be under you know, the scrutiny that 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:24.560 comes with that. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.240 Look, whatever's going on between Brock and Michelle Obama is 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:32.839 their business. I have no insight into it, nor do 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.800 I want to intrude into it. And that's why I 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.520 believe I've been successful all these years and you too, 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.680 because we don't get down in the gutter. 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.760 That's not in the gutter. I mean, that's just I'm 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.560 just making an observation based on his comment about that topic. 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.640 You should see the social media on it. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.719 I'm sure it's by the way, social media is cancer. 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.599 It's vile, it's awful. Do you actually read this stuff? 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.920 No, but it's translated to me. I can barely turn 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.760 my cell phone on as far as reading stuff. That 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:13.000 the trend in the United States is away from traditional 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:21.160 linear information flow into this unregulated savage land of social 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:25.760 media where there are terrible things being said, and I 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:26.760 don't want to be a part of it. 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:32.000 You know, it's very interesting, there was Barrett Media recently 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:36.840 did a study about radio and the one format by 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:42.520 far that has retained its audience as talk radio, and 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.520 that people have been loyal to the hosts that they like. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:49.200 And we're now on seven one hundred and sixty stations 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:53.440 in serious exem and you know, we've podcasted and we're 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.680 pretty much everywhere and Vox News channel. You see the 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.920 ratings every day. I mean the number are remarkable, especially 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:06.560 considering the attrition levels in terms of cable watching. But 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.360 people are watching now on YouTube. I went into the 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.280 podcast Spaces, although I didn't name it, we'll do it 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:18.240 live like you did, and I will tell you it's 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:22.240 been a huge success out of the box. And I 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.840 like the idea of people being able to find me 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:29.720 everywhere wherever they are, and then also having the opportunity 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.760 to bring in new people to what it is that 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.520 we do, because I think people want smart, intelligent conversation, 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.040 you know, not this vitriol that people spew every day 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.760 in these conspiracies that people are making their money on. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.680 It's awful. Yeah, I'm doing the same thing that you're doing. 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:50.400 We both have long form now. And the reason is 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.880 that there is a segment, a large segment of the 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.760 population it doesn't want to sit through commercials, doesn't want 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.840 to sit through television programs any longer. My kids never 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:05.040 watched them, and they are attracted. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.480 But Bill, you should insist that they've watched Hannity every 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:09.840 night at nine. I don't get that. 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.960 I have them tied up. They have to watch a tatement. 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.440 I appreciated Bill. I hope they have a their Nielsen 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.240 family at the same time. 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.800 Right, But you know what I'm talking about here. We've 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:29.600 established the Fox News Channel because both Hannity and I 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.600 were at the Genesis, so that we were their first day. 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:38.319 We've established that in the minds of the American public 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:42.600 and the world. But now it's very hard to do that. 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.480 And the only way that these people can get attention 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:49.319 on social media is to say the most outrageous, heinous 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.520 things about other human beings. And it's just not worth it. 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.640 And when I speak to President trumpetized down a little bit. 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.960 You don't need to, you know, make the personal attack 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.200 because you're the president, and the president is elevated just 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.679 by his job, just by the performance. Now he's not 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.080 gonna listen to me, I know, but at least I'm trying. 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:10.880 Well. 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.480 I've had the same conversation with him. You know. The 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.120 way I've said it to him is we don't need 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:20.040 to hear every thought that goes through your head. And 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.440 I think I said it after he made comments about 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:27.040 Rob Reiner after that horrible incident occurred. He made similar 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.439 comments after Muller, but with that said that has been 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.120 the person that's been on the world stage for eleven years. 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.000 And I don't think you're going to change Donald Trump 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.520 and who he is. And I think I think people 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.680 have pretty much come to accept that that's who he is. 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.720 And it's a very fascinating dynamic because he's right in 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.959 a way. You could have never done and accomplish what 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:55.679 he's accomplished, without being bombastic, without being unpredictable, without taking 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.280 on perceived enemies the way he does. He could have 0:10:59.360 --> 0:10:59.959 never done it. 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.240 I've got a question for you, because you recently went 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:07.160 to China. Next week, I will be in China. I'm 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.320 going with the President on his trip to China. Now 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.760 I can't take my own phone. I'm told I can't 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.480 even bring it on the plane, so I'll be using 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.560 a fake phone. What do you call that? A burner phone? 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:20.959 Right now? 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.120 Any advice? So this is what I've been told. And 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.600 I've been told that my room is gonna be bugged, 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.959 that they're gonna they're gonna watch me taking a shower, 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.680 and that I better be on my best behavior, which 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:40.680 I am anyway, And I'm like, why would they care 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:44.120 about me taking a shower? Do you believe that's true. 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.599 Yeah, that's bold. And I'm going to take you a 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.520 video of you taking a shower. There is audio though, 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:54.640 that you're gonna have to negotiate around. And that's part. 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.800 You mean, if I call Bell O'Reilly next week, it's 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:03.280 gonna be what I'm gonna They're going to record every word. 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.480 Well, I'm serious about this. If you were the army, 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.320 first call, because I'll get my boys in there to 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.400 fix your problem, whatever it may be. 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.600 I'm with Donald Trump. I mean, how is it that 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.760 I have to call Bill O'Reilly when I have the 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.280 president that I'm sure is not gonna take off with 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:21.840 me left behind. 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.360 No, but he's busy and I'm not. 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.880 He's busy, You're not busy. So I had a caller 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.640 yesterday say to me begging me not to go, thinking 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.800 that something terrible may happen. I mean, now, look, we're 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.480 on God's time in this world, and whenever God calls 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.320 us home, he calls us home. And I said, well, 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.160 if that happens, please No. I'm very grateful to all 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.040 of you in this audience. I love all of you. 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.200 I'll pray for all of you, and I'm very grateful 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.560 for an undeserved life that you gave me. And I 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.359 have one message, Please keep up the fight in my absence. 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:56.600 That was my message. 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.920 You're going to happen to you in China. The security 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:02.760 apparatus therey so tight that they're not gonna mess around 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.240 any Americans at all or give them a hard time 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:10.160 other than what they usually do, which is surveil you 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:12.959 so for the moment you get in your Mercedes. 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.240 So I'm gonna be in a Mercedes, all right, Bill, 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.920 I appreciate the update. I have no idea what car. 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.720 Usually I'm in a van and it's going to be 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.439 driven by a security guy. Okay, who's gonna tell you 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.640 that he's an uber driver but he's not. But anyway, 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:32.760 their security apparatus is so tight over there that we 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.760 don't have the freedom. They don't have the freedom that 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.040 we have. It could never be at dinner where she 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.800 is in danger of being assassinated in China. Just couldn't happen. 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:43.240 That's how tight they are. 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.880 But at anybody, Well, if you've been trying to get 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.600 an interview with President she, if there's anything you can 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.160 do to help me. Now, I helped you get a 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.120 couple of interviews for your show. If you can help 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.199 me get an interview with President, she'd be a perfect 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:58.400 way to pay me back. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.920 He's not gonna do it. I might be able to 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.520 get you a second in command, and you're right, means 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:09.160 the former ambassador from China to the United States under Trump.

We'll continue straight ahead, 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.800 eight hundred nine one.

Brian, how 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.320 are you glad you called? Sir? 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.760 Yeah, thank you, Sean, thank you for taking my call. 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.080 Well, thank you for checking in and glad you're out there. 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:37.680 What's going on? 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:42.080 Well, I heard your discussion yesterday. You're going to take 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.400 a trip to China, and you just talked to Bill 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:48.400 Rilly about that. You're going to go to China, next week, 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:52.640 and I heard the caller yesterday, you know, just talk 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.880 about how you I don't know that you ought to 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:59.000 be afraid and maybe not go or whatever. But I've 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.600 been to China twice in recent years and it was 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.720 just a great experience, great experience, great people. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:07.280 What brought you to China? Why'd you go? 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:12.520 Well? I went, first of all in twenty eighteen for 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.480 basically sightseeing, and I had Chinese tour guides and all 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:20.120 that stuff. And then in twenty twenty four I went 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.760 there basically to just to let me just say, I 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.800 went there to build relationships, all. 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.160 Right, I mean, are you dealing business with Chinese companies 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:29.880 or what are you doing? 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.840 No? No, no, no, no, I won't go into I 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.160 guess I shouldn't go into a lot of detail about 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:39.240 why I went, but basically just to build relationships and 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.360 had a great time doing that. Great people there. 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:43.520 I mean, did you go to find a bride? I mean, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.480 I don't know. I have no idea how to interpret that. 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:52.720 Well, well, maybe there's different ways, but just to build relationships. 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:54.960 And I wouldn't want to say too much more than 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:59.640 that because I wouldn't want to get my Chinese friends 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.480 there any kind of trouble. 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.760 So it sounds like you want to find a girlfriend. 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.760 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm happily married. 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:11.800 No, I'm glad to hear that. All right. Yes, I'm 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.800 half kidding you, of course, Okay, of course. Look, I'm 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:19.000 not worried about going there. I'm never going to live 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:23.440 my life in fear. I just refuse to. And there 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.480 are people that do live their lives in fear, and 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.080 I think fear can paralyze a lot of people. And 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.080 if you're one of those people, you know, I would 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.680 urge you to look at whatever it is that makes 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:38.439 you fearful or anxious, and you've got to get over it. 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.399 You have got to be in a position in this world, 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:46.200 in this life, and faith actually helps overcome fear. Let 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.760 not your harpy trouble. Be not afraid. I mean, I 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.639 just I put all of my hope in my Lord 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:57.280 and Savior, and I believe that. You know, he's in 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.800 charge of all of our lives, and he's in charge 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.600 of when we live and when we die. And I'm 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.920 not fatalistic about it. I'm just realistic about it. If 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:07.880 he decides it's time for me to go home. I'm 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.880 going home. Nothing I can do about it. By who, 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:15.479 by taking thought, can add one second to their life. 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.720 The Bible says that too, and the answer is we can't. 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.600 Yes, that's exactly right, exactly. 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.720 Yeah, No, I'm looking forward to it. I'm very aware 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:30.359 that the Chinese will likely be spying on me and 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:34.360 everyone else. That's with the president, and I'm not at 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.439 all uncomfortable with that. I had the same situation in 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:42.600 Vietnam and Singapore and Helsinki, and when I was in 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.000 the Gulf States, I know for sure that I was 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:49.160 being watched. And I remember at one point I think 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.240 it was I'm not sure you were on the trip. 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.359 I think it was Vietnam, Linda. Remember we were in 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.360 that weird hotel and everybody that worked in the hotel 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:01.600 was a Chinese spy yep okay, and we knew they 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.280 were Chinese spies. And at one point they I had 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:08.120 my room swept and they found a bug in the room. 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:08.920 Not a bug bug. 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.360 I was with Sarah Carter. We walked on them, We 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:15.160 walked in on them in the room, I know, going 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.360 through her stuff. I was like hello, They're like yeah, sorry, Well, 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.680 we're on our way I'm like, yeah, we're on our way. 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:22.600 Sorry, we didn't mean to leave that bug there. 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.960 We didn't find anything. Have a good night. 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:30.560 Yeah, we have some chocolates for your bed. But I 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.880 knew that that was happening, and they paid very special 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.400 attention to me, and I knew it, so I had 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:38.960 a burner pham. But I gave the president my number, 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:43.080 and at one point I'm outside the hotel and I'm 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:45.919 talking to President Trump and I said, just be aware 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.840 that this is likely being listened to. And if I 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.920 gave you his answer verbatim, you would you would laugh 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:57.440 your ass off. It was so funny. He doesn't care. 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.080 He sent a direct message to the people that were listening. 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.720 Let's put it that way. It was funny, I'll bet anyway, Brian, 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.080 I appreciate it. Is there anything I should see? If 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.399 I have any I doubt I'll have any time to 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:11.440 do sight seeing. Is there anything you'd recommend? 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:16.160 The oh, the terra Cotta Warriors that's in near the 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.360 city of CN but that's in the middle of the country. 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.359 And the Great Wall, of course, I've been to the 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:25.280 Great Wall twice and that's that's a great experience, you. 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:28.040 Know, And I appreciate the call. Thank you, Linda. You're 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.240 going to think this is the strangest thing in the world. 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:36.160 I have an ability to go online and look at 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:40.760 famous sites, and I feel like, in my mind's eye 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:46.240 that I can experience exactly how I would feel if 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:50.560 I was in that space. And I've been to places 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.600 where I've done that before, and then when I get there, 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:58.719 it's exactly how I felt looking at that online. And 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.760 I usually go, you know, for my kid's sake or 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:04.960 for other people in my life that want to go 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:08.119 visit places, and I'm like, it doesn't feel any different 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:10.680 than what I looked at online. Is that terrible? What 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:11.320 is wrong with me? 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:13.679 I don't know that it's terrible. I think it's a 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.360 little strange. I mean, I mean, I know you've been 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:18.800 in Europe. Have you ever been to any like famous 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:22.000 place in Europe and you're standing in it and you go, huh, 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:23.040 that's a little different. 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:29.359 No, really, No, it's exactly as I imagine it in 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:30.400 my mind's high. 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:33.960 Okay, so here's a different example. If you saw a 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:36.880 picture of the ocean, do you think that's the same 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:38.520 as standing on the sand in front of it. 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:41.479 That's a hard question to answer, because I see the 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:42.359 ocean every day. 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:45.119 But that's what I mean, Like, you love the ocean. 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:47.840 So if you were, I don't know, let's say you 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:51.240 were when we were in Alaska, right, You're like Alaska, 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.280 I really miss being home in the ocean, and I said, Oh, 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:56.600 don't worry here, I got a picture fit you right 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:59.639 out there, you go. I mean, that's you know what 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:00.000 I mean. 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.639 I know I would imagine how I would feel if 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:04.680 I was there, but it wouldn't take me away from 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.080 the reality of where I was in the moment, which 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:09.720 is it's freezing cold. You know what, I've been watching 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:12.320 gold Rush. Did you ever watch that show? 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:16.680 Ask Ethan, Uh, yes, I watch it. It's a great show, 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:20.200 very interesting. I think I was going to actually piggyback 0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:23.840 off of Linda. I think that you can't watch those shows, 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:27.680 or Deadliest Catch or you know, Wicked Tuna. If you 0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:30.800 watch those shows, I think for you, it'd probably be 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:35.399 different if you experience in real life the actuals, you 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:36.280 know energy. 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:39.320 I know enough that I admire the guys that are 0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:43.880 in the you know, out at sea in Deadliest Catch, 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.359 by the way, many of them had died. Many people 0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:50.680 on that show have died because it's so dangerous as 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:54.120 they you know, are out there fishing and they they 0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:57.639 go for you know, these big crabs out there, wicked tuna. 0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:00.520 I've been out tuna fishing. I've caught a tune before, 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:05.000
