I gotta 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:48.040 go to Pennsylvania to do it. 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:49.880 I've been telling you to get the hell out of 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:51.559 there forever. You just don't listen to me. 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:56.720 I can. I'm trapped here in New York because no, 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:57.600 you're making. 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:01.320 A decision to stay in New York. Yea, I know 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.400 the perfect house that you can live in. And you 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.839 know what house I'm talking about sure. 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.480 I mean, I'm gonna come down to Florida a few 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.280 times this winter. Listen, I want everybody in Florida and 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.920 all other forty nine states have a nice Christmas. We 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.640 all deserve to have a nice one, and we all 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.760 deserve to kind of de intensify a little bit. So 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.679 what is we do today? 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.920 Well, I have questions for you. First of all, I'm 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:27.520 pissed off. 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.520 I'm pissed off that it seems that these idiots in 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:34.000 Washington didn't learn a single lesson. And you know, now 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:39.240 they're passing this massive omnibus, fifteen hundred page bill, and 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.400 you know, unfortunately Republicans will go along with it because 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.800 they want to get out of town as business as usual. 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.360 Bill included in it as a massive pay raise. I 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.480 don't think they deserve a pay raise, even though they 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.280 haven't gotten one, you know, for you know, I don't know, 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.480 nine years, ten years, whatever it is. It means nothing 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.919 to me until they balance the budget, manage our money better, 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.080 and stop the waste, fraud, and abuse. 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.440 They don't deserve a pay raise. They worked I think 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.200 a grand total of one hundred and. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:10.200 Thirty eight days this year, and you know what, anybody 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.560 would love that kind of gig. And I'm sorry they're 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.600 not looking out for the American people. And this, this 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.239 business as usual has to stop if we're going to 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:20.160 save the country. 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.520 They worked one hundred and thirty eight days. 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:27.080 This year and VAVEK do their jobs and come back 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.600 with massive amounts of cut out of the federal budget, 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.440 then this will be disappearing. So I don't mind these 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.200 people going home. I don't even mind giving them a raise. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.320 Some of them deserve to raise, some of them don't. 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:41.279 Most of them don't. 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.760 You know, And I know the bigger picture is that 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:50.160 Donald Trump is focused in on cutting out the BS 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:54.480 in the budget. Well, worries me is that the Trump 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.720 administration's going to have to pump hundreds of billions of 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:02.400 dollars into the military big time running because it was 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.960 neglected so badly by the Biden administration. 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.160 So that wait a minute, it's even bigger than that bill. 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.919 The money it's going to cost to deport the twelve 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.359 and a half million unvetted illegals, that's going to be expensive. 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.800 It's going to we have to shore up Social Security 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.639 and Medicare because they're headed towards insolvency. Uh, then we 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.399 have a gap of vulnerability like Reagan inherited when when 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.960 he became president and we had planes that couldn't fly, 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.000 ships couldn't go out to sea. All Now China Russia 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:36.120 of hypersonic missile technology, and that is only one area 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.839 of deficiency. And we've got to prepare for the new 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.640 era of modern warfare, which is no longer going to 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.320 be fought on a battlefield, but those wars will be 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.800 fought in air conditioned offices of people that are going 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.680 to be pushing buttons. And we're way behind Bill. Now, 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.720 one last thing and then I'll let you talk. The 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.040 one way we can get money is energy. We have 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.080 an abundance of it, and Donald Trump has planned to 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:05.400 unleash all of that that might and power and wealth, 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.600 and that could be our one big saving grace, along 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.240 with cutting the waste for Auden abuse. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:13.760 What say you, mister O'Reilly? 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.800 Yeah, I listen. I've said that for a year now. 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.520 When you open up annwar another federal land to drilling oil, 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.880 you make a deal with the oil companies that a 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.920 certain percentage of the of the profits go to paying 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.080 down the national debt. That shouldn't be hard. Trump's a 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.480 very good deal maker, should be able to get that 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.760 done fairly quickly. And you're right that actra revenue, but 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.040 it can't be diverted. It's got to get down and 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.760 paying the debt down, and then on the entitlements of 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.840 Social Security and the Medicare and all of that. That's 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.360 got to be carefully thought out. I believe that the 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.200 age of qualification will be raised, but not for people 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.960 who are getting it now, but for the younger people. 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.720 That has to happen. But all of these problems are 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.360 sold to some extent, and you know, we're all optimistic 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:07.080 that Donald Trump understands where we are as a country. 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:11.120 Here's some good news though. The Russian rublel collapsed as 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.520 I predicted it would, and Pruden is in a lot 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.920 of trouble over there, so that's going to de intensify 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:23.960 that threat. China's economy is also going into a massive deficit. 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.600 I don't know if people understand that a good friend 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.039 of mine is over in Beijing right now. I'm not 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.520 going to mention his name, but you would probably know it, 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.400 and the Chinese asked for him to come over. He's 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.840 an American and he teaches at a university because they're 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.359 in serious economic trouble as well. All that works to 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.200 our strength, the American's strength, because our economy is pretty good. 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.440 And I'll tell you the one thing that works to 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.920 us strength is they genuinely fear in a healthy way 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.960 and respect Donald Trump. And I think a lot of 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:01.960 what you see, all the maneuverings and all all of 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.880 these nefarious characters on the world stage, I think they're 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.280 going to be put in check, and they'll be put 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.080 in check very quickly. I got to ask you this question, 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.920 what do you make of the drones that have been 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.880 out there? The lack of urgency, and frankly, I think 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.159 from the beginning we've been flat out lied to because 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:24.280 the first sighting was what the eighteenth of November, and 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.919 you know, here we are. And I just think that 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.120 they knew right from the beginning. 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:28.720 What do you think? 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.080 I don't know. I can't answer that question with any authority. 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.880 What I can tell you it's an outrage and there's 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:42.320 no national security classification involved. If I saw all of 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.440 these things, it hovered over my house and then it said, 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.680 I think O'Reilly lives there. Let's get out of here. 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.360 So they're all over Jersey, a few on Long Island, 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.440 and other people have seen them. But when the folks 0:06:55.640 --> 0:07:01.200 are impacted, all the classified stuff leaves the But here 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.440 is the crux of the story. And this should make 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:08.640 you happy having Joe Biden has fouled this up again again. 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.040 You would think he would try to leave on a 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:17.160 high note. So he's responsible for telling the American people 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:24.120 re deduce. This is him, not some intel guy, not 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:29.880 some senator congressman. Him. You tell us, just like you 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.360 didn't tell us about the border. He has never explained, 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:39.560 Joe Biden, why he opened that border, what was the reason? 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.200 And this is the height of arrogance. And this is 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:48.240 why Americans don't trust their government. And as soon as 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.840 Trump takes the oath of this thing, I think it 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.480 will be we will know shortly what the strone thing is. 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.320 But if we don't, first thing he does is say 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:03.200 this is why the drones up there? And but Biden, 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.840 what is his approval writing down a thirty two percent? 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.840 Now in the latest polo was it you reported it 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:09.440 last night? 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:10.480 Yeah? 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.800 The approval ready, mister O'Reilly, was you know, like in 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.960 the low thirties at this point, and he's upside down 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.600 by thirty points. And this is the thing you want 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.520 to talk about going out with a whimper. And now 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.400 they're talking about all these preemptive pardons on double What 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:28.120 are your thoughts on that they're talking about? Hillary Clinton, 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:34.560 Bennie Thompson, Liz Cheney, Anthony Fauci, other Biden family members, 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:39.280 maybe Joe Biden himself, on top of these horrific you know, 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.520 commutations and pardons that they've delivered. 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:42.280 What are your thoughts? 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.760 Well, I don't think it's going to happen. I think 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:49.880 Biden got really whacked and they weren't expecting it because 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.720 there's really nobody in charge anymore Biden. Do you think 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:57.199 Biden knows who he commuted, what people he gave that 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.560 privilege too? He doesn't. He knows he pardoned his son, 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.920 but he doesn't know. The other is he's not sitting 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.920 there looking at this stuff and quote, a public opinion 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:12.200 is driving him out of office. The luckiest guy is 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:16.920 Jimmy Carter. So, Jimmy Carter was considered the worst modern president, 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:21.760 but Biden has surpassed him by a mile. Joe Biden. 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:22.880 And even though so. 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.960 That's really interesting because you wrote the book Confronting the Presidents. 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.400 It became a New York Times bestseller before the election. 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.840 No spin assessments from Washington to Biden. And you're saying, 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.240 of all the presidents this country has had, it is 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:39.640 your assessment, the historic, the historian part of you, that 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.880 he's the worst president in history. 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:48.559 Second worst. James Buchanan totally booted the Civil War. If 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:52.240 we had had a strong president in eighteen fifty six, 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:57.640 the Civil War probably would have been averted. And that 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.520 was more than a million American dead, the biggest catastrophe 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.480 ever hit the country. Santa just ordered about ten thousand 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.400 copies of Confronting the Presidents. We shipped them up to 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:08.079 the North Pole. 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.559 But do you mean Santa just ordered copies of your book? 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.360 That is so shameless of you to be saying that 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.360 he did not order copies of your book. 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.319 They shout out, what's the matter with you, you grinch? 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.559 I'm not a grinch, mister scrooge. 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.480 I mean, you know you can't get any more shameless 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:28.520 if you're going to use Santa. 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.679 Why, Santa deserves some credit, and he's got good taste 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.800 ordering Confronting the Presidents anyway. 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.720 Good taste, but it's not going to prevent you from 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.920 getting the cold that you rightly deserve this year. 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:46.240 I know I'm fracking myself, So no point before you 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:51.800 start to demean and slander me. Biden is the worst 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.160 modern day president. He's worse than Herbert Hoover and he 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.640 was the depression who couldn't get us out. He's worse 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:05.679 than Johnson, who actually lied about the Vietnam War. Lyndon Johnson, 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.680 how bad is that? 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.920 Biden's worse because what you know, But this gets to 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.560 the heart of the drone issue and the Chinese spy balloon. 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.319 They lied about that bill. They lied about his cognitive state, Billy. 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.200 They lied about inflation being transitory. They flat out lied 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.760 about the border. They lied about never having spoken to 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.880 my son and my brother or anybody for that matter, 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.560 about their foreign business dealings. 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.720 They lied about everything. That's what they do. 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.800 And I will tell you it was refreshing when Trump said, 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.560 can you just tell the American people what is going 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:37.480 on with the drone police? 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.080 Can we just tell them the truth? 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:43.040 And you know what that pointed up that Donald Trump's 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:47.160 not getting the national security briefings and he should be 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.280 getting them. But once again, that's the Biden White House 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:50.920 blocking that. 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.120 But they're doing that with every cabinet official that's coming in. 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.040 And they're also in many ways, and I've listed them. 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.200 I won't repeat it now, but all the ways they've 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:03.520 been sabotaged the incoming administration. One of the biggest ways 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.840 is escalating the conflicts in Europe and in the Middle East. 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.920 But you know, how petty can you get? Is this 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.280 selling off you know, border wall that would be used 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.600 for construction for pennies on the dollar that that doesn't 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:17.600 hurt Donald Trump. 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:21.800 That hurts us, we the people, the folks, Bill, And he's. 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.760 Going to go out people, even the Democrats say good riddance. 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:30.319 Imagine give it ten billion dollars to the Iranians. How 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.520 can you justify that? How could you? 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.840 You can't anybody, how could you buy that? 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:41.440 You absolutely positively cannot. You cannot justify it at all? 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.280 Quick break right back, all things simple man, Bill O'Reilly 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:46.920 on the other side than your calls coming up eight 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:51.080 hundred and ninety four one, Shawn. As we continue, all right, 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.559 we get pining out with all things simple man, Bill O'Reilly, 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.880 All things O'Reilly and Bill O'Reilly dot com. 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.640 So you and I were invited to the Biden Christmas party? 0:12:59.720 --> 0:12:59.840 Right? 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:01.360 Didn't get an invite? Did you get one? 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.720 I didn't get an invite, but may I could probably 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.839 put in a good word for you next year if 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:06.400 you really. 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:06.679 Want to go. 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:08.600 If you go, I'll go. 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.400 But if you go, I'll go. 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.520 You know, Uh, trouble if we go. So no president here. 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.440 We we did once have dinner with Donald Trump, and 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.040 that's going to be in the lock box for the 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:27.800 rest of our lives. And it was the only the 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.240 last thing I'm going to say about this. You were there, Levin? 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:30.680 Was there? 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.920 Another friend of ours who I won't mention is there? Uh? 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:39.720 And Heralda was there? Okay, so who's gone hardcore? Anti Trump? 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:44.000 And the only two people that drink it all at 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.920 the table were me and Heraldo and and they were 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.360 serving wine for dinner. And at one point I looked 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.800 at all of you, I said, you know, if if 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.480 there are five people in this world that definitely need 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.120 to have a drink a day, at least it's you 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.840 five people. And I was so right one of my 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.080 comp when I made that comment, and it was funny. 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.720 Yeah, but what the bigger picture is is that you 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.719 and Roll though need to drink, I. 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.840 Don't need to drink anything. I go plenty of days 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.400 not drinking. I'm not a big drinker, but at least 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.760 but I can have a couple of glasses of wine 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:19.440 or a vodka and whatever. 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.560 Hatty, all right, do you drink? 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:27.280 The better it is for the country, mister O'Reilly, God 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.280 bless you and your family the merriest of Christmas, and 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.280 we will see you in the in the new year, inauguration, 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:35.440 first hundred days. 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.560 It'll be exciting, Thank you, my friend. 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.880 All right, twenty five now, so the top of the hour, 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:41.920 eight hundred nine to fourt one, Shawn our number if 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.120 you want to be a part of the program. 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.200 It's so sad. 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:48.720 And then this time of hope, Hanka Christmas upon us 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.880 and you want peace in the world, and we don't 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:52.280 have it. 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:52.920 You know. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:57.120 Since October third, twenty three, well, Israel the worst attack 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:02.400 terrorist attack, radical Islamic terrorists in their history. And Israel 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.840 has been facing what you can argue is really a 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:09.280 seven front war and they have been taking on more 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.160 fire than any country has ever taken. And they are 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.880 in a fight for their very survival. It has resulted 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.440 in tens and tens of thousands of innocent Israelis that 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.440 have been displaced from their homes. They need food, they 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.880 need water, they need shelter, they need medicine, they need 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:28.040 pretty much all the necessities, and so many families are 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.960 still grieving over the loss of loved ones and enduring 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:36.000 isolation and hunger during the holiday season is not good. 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.560 We have proudly partnered with a wonderful organization. These are 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:44.040 great people, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.960 they're asking you to join us and this holiday season 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:54.840 think about helping to provide Hanukkah Christmas dinners boxes filled 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:59.880 with basic necessities essentials to bring nourishment, warmth, comfort to 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.800 people in need in the middle of the fight for 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.880 their very survival and so many people. Honestly, the government 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.280 can only do so much in a moment like this 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.280 because they're in the middle of protecting their country. Anyway, 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.400 please give the gift of hope and answered prayers this 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:20.560 holiday season.

Help is 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:38.960 on the way, but it's not going to be soon enough. 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:40.480 You know. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.720 It's my last day before I go on my long 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.000 vacation of the year. I'd like to get into Christmas 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.920 spirit a little bit. I'd be negligent if I didn't 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:54.160 thank this audience for what a year it's been. And 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.520 I mean this with all my heart that every single 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:03.440 one of you that that participated this year and made 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:07.840 it important, that understood that the country was kind of 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.840 on the precipice and it was an inflection point and 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.840 that we had to win and it wasn't an option. 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.320 And I know I was asking a lot of many 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.680 of you. You know, there were there were legitimate arguments 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.600 not to resist voting early, voting by mail, and many 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:30.000 of you you did it anyway. And it's not the 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:34.480 perfect system. I'm hoping we can have improvements in our 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.320 voting integrity in our country for the long term I 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:42.000 think we needed. But it was this was historic what 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.600 we all have been able to pull off, and a 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.480 lot of you give me credit, but I give all 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:50.359 of you credit. I'm just one vote, like you, like 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:55.240 you just have one vote. And honestly, it was such 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:59.560 a historic comeback, and I really do believe that we're 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:03.479 going to need your help come January, and Donald Trump's 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:04.800 not going to be able to do it all on 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:09.040 his own. And what he's trying to do is transformational. 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:15.760 He's trying to return America to its constitutional purpose, the 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:19.680 principles of our framers and founders, that is limited government, 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:26.560 greater freedom, eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, while simultaneouitaneously getting 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:31.240 rid of the biggest national security threat we've ever faced. Internally, 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:35.639 we have known terrorists, cartel members, gang members, murderers, rapists, 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:39.080 other violent criminals in the country, drug dealers in the country, 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.640 all let in unvetted by Harris and Biden. Finding them 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:46.159 is going to be an enormous task. The news media, 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.520 I can predict to you, predict to you right now, 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:50.600 is going to be, you know, throwing a hissy fit. 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.640 They're going to be going crazy, Donald Trump. These are 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.640 like internment camps. I pretty much can hear it all. 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:01.560 And it's going to take and fortunately not everybody has 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.120 the spine and in the backbone that Donald Trump has, 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.879 and we are going to have to hold our elected 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.680 officials accountable, and it's frustrating to me. I'd rather just 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.080 kind of have a fun show today and pay calls 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.359 and wish you all the merry Christmas and pray for 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.720 you and your families, and and thank God for the 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.439 greatest gift he gave all of us, liberty, freedom, the 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.440 greatest country God ever gave man. And then we got 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.560 these these guys in Washington doing what they usually do 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:33.720 as if it's you know, business as usual. It's not 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:36.560 business as usual anymore. And it's you know, I think 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.119 Elon Musk goes right say it's criminal what they're doing. 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:43.359 It really is with this this omnibus bill, and a 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.479 lot of Republicans are participating in it, and they you know, 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:50.520 include it in it a pay raise for themselves. Nobody's 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.160 read the fifteen hundred pages because they just got them, 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:59.480 and it's it's just typical Washington swampy behavior. And I'm 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.640 just putting all these Republicans on notice, you better grow 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:05.600 you better grow a spine over the holiday, because we 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.240 need leaders, we need people that are going to do 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:14.760 their job. Our friend Congressman Chip Roy of Texas voicing 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.800 his concern over the latest, you know, fifteen hundred page 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.840 spending bill. Here's what he said yesterday. 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.320 Well, anytime you hear the phrase scrambling an end of 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.480 the year, you should run and hide if you're an 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:29.960 American and you care about pynservatism or reduction of debt 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:33.560 or reduction of deficits, because they never go they never 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:35.359 go together. 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:35.720 Right. 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.640 The problem we've got here is the usual swamp way 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.040 of legislating. And there's always a reason, right, There's always 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:47.760 an excuse. Sometimes there are reasonable concerns, like the disaster 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:51.240 situation for our friends in the southeast, farmers who are 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.919 you know, getting absolutely hosed by the ridiculous policies to 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:59.560 buy the administration, inflation and other geopolitical forces. These are 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:03.199 all real issues. Nobody defeats that. The dispute that I 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:06.439 have is that, as usual, we're just writing blank checks 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:10.920 and then piling on complicated policies on healthcare, on energy, 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:14.360 on any number of issues, buying some boats to put 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:18.240 together a package with what they call four corners negotiations 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:20.840 without a whole lot of you know, real input from 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:22.639 those of us who have to vote on this stuff. 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.840 I mean, he's he's not wrong. I mean, we've got 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:28.679 a multitude of challenges here. We've got you know, he 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:33.719 think about how profound this is. Social security, medicare are 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:37.240 headed towards insolvency. Okay, that's a problem for the country. 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:41.639 We have a gap of vulnerability with our military. We 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:45.399 have we have our you know, top geopolitical foes that 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:49.720 have hypersonic missile technology that we don't have. That would 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:53.600 be China and Russia. We have to prepare technologically for 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.399 the new age of warfare. It's not going to be 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:58.639
