Speaker 1: All right, Leonard skinnerch simple man that can only mean
Speaker 1: one thing on this radio program, and that is all
Speaker 1: things self proclaimed simple man. That means all things Bill O'Reilly,
Speaker 1: all things Bill O'Reilly at billoreilly dot com. This will
Speaker 1: be our last interview before the Christmas holiday home. Mister O'Reilly,
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be scrooge and ba humbug? Are you're
Speaker 1: gonna be generous and kind and loving and celebrate the
Speaker 1: birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus?
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3: You're gonna make me cry at it? You know, generous, kind, loving,
Speaker 3: celebrating the birth. I'm fracking. That's what I'm doing. I'm
Speaker 3: getting as much care as I can because there.
Speaker 2: Are a lot of you deserve it. By the way,
Speaker 2: better go ahead.
Speaker 3: So they've o lord fracking in New York. I gotta
Speaker 3: go to Pennsylvania to do it.
Speaker 2: I've been telling you to get the hell out of
Speaker 2: there forever. You just don't listen to me.
Speaker 3: I can. I'm trapped here in New York because no,
Speaker 3: you're making.
Speaker 1: A decision to stay in New York. Yea, I know
Speaker 1: the perfect house that you can live in. And you
Speaker 1: know what house I'm talking about sure.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm gonna come down to Florida a few
Speaker 3: times this winter. Listen, I want everybody in Florida and
Speaker 3: all other forty nine states have a nice Christmas. We
Speaker 3: all deserve to have a nice one, and we all
Speaker 3: deserve to kind of de intensify a little bit. So
Speaker 3: what is we do today?
Speaker 2: Well, I have questions for you. First of all, I'm
Speaker 2: pissed off.
Speaker 1: I'm pissed off that it seems that these idiots in
Speaker 1: Washington didn't learn a single lesson. And you know, now
Speaker 1: they're passing this massive omnibus, fifteen hundred page bill, and
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately Republicans will go along with it because
Speaker 1: they want to get out of town as business as usual.
Speaker 1: Bill included in it as a massive pay raise. I
Speaker 1: don't think they deserve a pay raise, even though they
Speaker 1: haven't gotten one, you know, for you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: nine years, ten years, whatever it is. It means nothing
Speaker 1: to me until they balance the budget, manage our money better,
Speaker 1: and stop the waste, fraud, and abuse.
Speaker 2: They don't deserve a pay raise. They worked I think
Speaker 2: a grand total of one hundred and.
Speaker 1: Thirty eight days this year, and you know what, anybody
Speaker 1: would love that kind of gig. And I'm sorry they're
Speaker 1: not looking out for the American people. And this, this
Speaker 1: business as usual has to stop if we're going to
Speaker 1: save the country.
Speaker 2: They worked one hundred and thirty eight days.
Speaker 3: This year and VAVEK do their jobs and come back
Speaker 3: with massive amounts of cut out of the federal budget,
Speaker 3: then this will be disappearing. So I don't mind these
Speaker 3: people going home. I don't even mind giving them a raise.
Speaker 3: Some of them deserve to raise, some of them don't.
Speaker 2: Most of them don't.
Speaker 3: You know, And I know the bigger picture is that
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is focused in on cutting out the BS
Speaker 3: in the budget. Well, worries me is that the Trump
Speaker 3: administration's going to have to pump hundreds of billions of
Speaker 3: dollars into the military big time running because it was
Speaker 3: neglected so badly by the Biden administration.
Speaker 2: So that wait a minute, it's even bigger than that bill.
Speaker 1: The money it's going to cost to deport the twelve
Speaker 1: and a half million unvetted illegals, that's going to be expensive.
Speaker 1: It's going to we have to shore up Social Security
Speaker 1: and Medicare because they're headed towards insolvency. Uh, then we
Speaker 1: have a gap of vulnerability like Reagan inherited when when
Speaker 1: he became president and we had planes that couldn't fly,
Speaker 1: ships couldn't go out to sea. All Now China Russia
Speaker 1: of hypersonic missile technology, and that is only one area
Speaker 1: of deficiency. And we've got to prepare for the new
Speaker 1: era of modern warfare, which is no longer going to
Speaker 1: be fought on a battlefield, but those wars will be
Speaker 1: fought in air conditioned offices of people that are going
Speaker 1: to be pushing buttons. And we're way behind Bill. Now,
Speaker 1: one last thing and then I'll let you talk. The
Speaker 1: one way we can get money is energy. We have
Speaker 1: an abundance of it, and Donald Trump has planned to
Speaker 1: unleash all of that that might and power and wealth,
Speaker 1: and that could be our one big saving grace, along
Speaker 1: with cutting the waste for Auden abuse.
Speaker 2: What say you, mister O'Reilly?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I listen. I've said that for a year now.
Speaker 3: When you open up annwar another federal land to drilling oil,
Speaker 3: you make a deal with the oil companies that a
Speaker 3: certain percentage of the of the profits go to paying
Speaker 3: down the national debt. That shouldn't be hard. Trump's a
Speaker 3: very good deal maker, should be able to get that
Speaker 3: done fairly quickly. And you're right that actra revenue, but
Speaker 3: it can't be diverted. It's got to get down and
Speaker 3: paying the debt down, and then on the entitlements of
Speaker 3: Social Security and the Medicare and all of that. That's
Speaker 3: got to be carefully thought out. I believe that the
Speaker 3: age of qualification will be raised, but not for people
Speaker 3: who are getting it now, but for the younger people.
Speaker 3: That has to happen. But all of these problems are
Speaker 3: sold to some extent, and you know, we're all optimistic
Speaker 3: that Donald Trump understands where we are as a country.
Speaker 3: Here's some good news though. The Russian rublel collapsed as
Speaker 3: I predicted it would, and Pruden is in a lot
Speaker 3: of trouble over there, so that's going to de intensify
Speaker 3: that threat. China's economy is also going into a massive deficit.
Speaker 3: I don't know if people understand that a good friend
Speaker 3: of mine is over in Beijing right now. I'm not
Speaker 3: going to mention his name, but you would probably know it,
Speaker 3: and the Chinese asked for him to come over. He's
Speaker 3: an American and he teaches at a university because they're
Speaker 3: in serious economic trouble as well. All that works to
Speaker 3: our strength, the American's strength, because our economy is pretty good.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you the one thing that works to
Speaker 1: us strength is they genuinely fear in a healthy way
Speaker 1: and respect Donald Trump. And I think a lot of
Speaker 1: what you see, all the maneuverings and all all of
Speaker 1: these nefarious characters on the world stage, I think they're
Speaker 1: going to be put in check, and they'll be put
Speaker 1: in check very quickly. I got to ask you this question,
Speaker 1: what do you make of the drones that have been
Speaker 1: out there? The lack of urgency, and frankly, I think
Speaker 1: from the beginning we've been flat out lied to because
Speaker 1: the first sighting was what the eighteenth of November, and
Speaker 1: you know, here we are. And I just think that
Speaker 1: they knew right from the beginning.
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I can't answer that question with any authority.
Speaker 3: What I can tell you it's an outrage and there's
Speaker 3: no national security classification involved. If I saw all of
Speaker 3: these things, it hovered over my house and then it said,
Speaker 3: I think O'Reilly lives there. Let's get out of here.
Speaker 3: So they're all over Jersey, a few on Long Island,
Speaker 3: and other people have seen them. But when the folks
Speaker 3: are impacted, all the classified stuff leaves the But here
Speaker 3: is the crux of the story. And this should make
Speaker 3: you happy having Joe Biden has fouled this up again again.
Speaker 3: You would think he would try to leave on a
Speaker 3: high note. So he's responsible for telling the American people
Speaker 3: re deduce. This is him, not some intel guy, not
Speaker 3: some senator congressman. Him. You tell us, just like you
Speaker 3: didn't tell us about the border. He has never explained,
Speaker 3: Joe Biden, why he opened that border, what was the reason?
Speaker 3: And this is the height of arrogance. And this is
Speaker 3: why Americans don't trust their government. And as soon as
Speaker 3: Trump takes the oath of this thing, I think it
Speaker 3: will be we will know shortly what the strone thing is.
Speaker 3: But if we don't, first thing he does is say
Speaker 3: this is why the drones up there? And but Biden,
Speaker 3: what is his approval writing down a thirty two percent?
Speaker 3: Now in the latest polo was it you reported it
Speaker 3: last night?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: The approval ready, mister O'Reilly, was you know, like in
Speaker 1: the low thirties at this point, and he's upside down
Speaker 1: by thirty points. And this is the thing you want
Speaker 1: to talk about going out with a whimper. And now
Speaker 1: they're talking about all these preemptive pardons on double What
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on that they're talking about? Hillary Clinton,
Speaker 1: Bennie Thompson, Liz Cheney, Anthony Fauci, other Biden family members,
Speaker 1: maybe Joe Biden himself, on top of these horrific you know,
Speaker 1: commutations and pardons that they've delivered.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think it's going to happen. I think
Speaker 3: Biden got really whacked and they weren't expecting it because
Speaker 3: there's really nobody in charge anymore Biden. Do you think
Speaker 3: Biden knows who he commuted, what people he gave that
Speaker 3: privilege too? He doesn't. He knows he pardoned his son,
Speaker 3: but he doesn't know. The other is he's not sitting
Speaker 3: there looking at this stuff and quote, a public opinion
Speaker 3: is driving him out of office. The luckiest guy is
Speaker 3: Jimmy Carter. So, Jimmy Carter was considered the worst modern president,
Speaker 3: but Biden has surpassed him by a mile. Joe Biden.
Speaker 3: And even though so.
Speaker 1: That's really interesting because you wrote the book Confronting the Presidents.
Speaker 1: It became a New York Times bestseller before the election.
Speaker 1: No spin assessments from Washington to Biden. And you're saying,
Speaker 1: of all the presidents this country has had, it is
Speaker 1: your assessment, the historic, the historian part of you, that
Speaker 1: he's the worst president in history.
Speaker 3: Second worst. James Buchanan totally booted the Civil War. If
Speaker 3: we had had a strong president in eighteen fifty six,
Speaker 3: the Civil War probably would have been averted. And that
Speaker 3: was more than a million American dead, the biggest catastrophe
Speaker 3: ever hit the country. Santa just ordered about ten thousand
Speaker 3: copies of Confronting the Presidents. We shipped them up to
Speaker 3: the North Pole.
Speaker 1: But do you mean Santa just ordered copies of your book?
Speaker 1: That is so shameless of you to be saying that
Speaker 1: he did not order copies of your book.
Speaker 3: They shout out, what's the matter with you, you grinch?
Speaker 2: I'm not a grinch, mister scrooge.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you can't get any more shameless
Speaker 1: if you're going to use Santa.
Speaker 3: Why, Santa deserves some credit, and he's got good taste
Speaker 3: ordering Confronting the Presidents anyway.
Speaker 1: Good taste, but it's not going to prevent you from
Speaker 1: getting the cold that you rightly deserve this year.
Speaker 3: I know I'm fracking myself, So no point before you
Speaker 3: start to demean and slander me. Biden is the worst
Speaker 3: modern day president. He's worse than Herbert Hoover and he
Speaker 3: was the depression who couldn't get us out. He's worse
Speaker 3: than Johnson, who actually lied about the Vietnam War. Lyndon Johnson,
Speaker 3: how bad is that?
Speaker 5: Biden's worse because what you know, But this gets to
Speaker 5: the heart of the drone issue and the Chinese spy balloon.
Speaker 1: They lied about that bill. They lied about his cognitive state, Billy.
Speaker 1: They lied about inflation being transitory. They flat out lied
Speaker 1: about the border. They lied about never having spoken to
Speaker 1: my son and my brother or anybody for that matter,
Speaker 1: about their foreign business dealings.
Speaker 2: They lied about everything. That's what they do.
Speaker 1: And I will tell you it was refreshing when Trump said,
Speaker 1: can you just tell the American people what is going
Speaker 1: on with the drone police?
Speaker 2: Can we just tell them the truth?
Speaker 3: And you know what that pointed up that Donald Trump's
Speaker 3: not getting the national security briefings and he should be
Speaker 3: getting them. But once again, that's the Biden White House
Speaker 3: blocking that.
Speaker 1: But they're doing that with every cabinet official that's coming in.
Speaker 1: And they're also in many ways, and I've listed them.
Speaker 1: I won't repeat it now, but all the ways they've
Speaker 1: been sabotaged the incoming administration. One of the biggest ways
Speaker 1: is escalating the conflicts in Europe and in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: But you know, how petty can you get? Is this
Speaker 1: selling off you know, border wall that would be used
Speaker 1: for construction for pennies on the dollar that that doesn't
Speaker 1: hurt Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: That hurts us, we the people, the folks, Bill, And he's.
Speaker 3: Going to go out people, even the Democrats say good riddance.
Speaker 3: Imagine give it ten billion dollars to the Iranians. How
Speaker 3: can you justify that? How could you?
Speaker 2: You can't anybody, how could you buy that?
Speaker 1: You absolutely positively cannot. You cannot justify it at all?
Speaker 1: Quick break right back, all things simple man, Bill O'Reilly
Speaker 1: on the other side than your calls coming up eight
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one, Shawn. As we continue, all right,
Speaker 1: we get pining out with all things simple man, Bill O'Reilly,
Speaker 1: All things O'Reilly and Bill O'Reilly dot com.
Speaker 3: So you and I were invited to the Biden Christmas party?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Didn't get an invite? Did you get one?
Speaker 1: I didn't get an invite, but may I could probably
Speaker 1: put in a good word for you next year if
Speaker 1: you really.
Speaker 2: Want to go.
Speaker 3: If you go, I'll go.
Speaker 2: But if you go, I'll go.
Speaker 3: You know, Uh, trouble if we go. So no president here.
Speaker 1: We we did once have dinner with Donald Trump, and
Speaker 1: that's going to be in the lock box for the
Speaker 1: rest of our lives. And it was the only the
Speaker 1: last thing I'm going to say about this. You were there, Levin?
Speaker 3: Was there?
Speaker 2: Another friend of ours who I won't mention is there? Uh?
Speaker 1: And Heralda was there? Okay, so who's gone hardcore? Anti Trump?
Speaker 1: And the only two people that drink it all at
Speaker 1: the table were me and Heraldo and and they were
Speaker 1: serving wine for dinner. And at one point I looked
Speaker 1: at all of you, I said, you know, if if
Speaker 1: there are five people in this world that definitely need
Speaker 1: to have a drink a day, at least it's you
Speaker 1: five people. And I was so right one of my
Speaker 1: comp when I made that comment, and it was funny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but what the bigger picture is is that you
Speaker 3: and Roll though need to drink, I.
Speaker 1: Don't need to drink anything. I go plenty of days
Speaker 1: not drinking. I'm not a big drinker, but at least
Speaker 1: but I can have a couple of glasses of wine
Speaker 1: or a vodka and whatever.
Speaker 3: Hatty, all right, do you drink?
Speaker 5: The better it is for the country, mister O'Reilly, God
Speaker 5: bless you and your family the merriest of Christmas, and
Speaker 5: we will see you in the in the new year, inauguration,
Speaker 5: first hundred days.
Speaker 2: It'll be exciting, Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 1: All right, twenty five now, so the top of the hour,
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine to fourt one, Shawn our number if
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 2: It's so sad.
Speaker 1: And then this time of hope, Hanka Christmas upon us
Speaker 1: and you want peace in the world, and we don't
Speaker 1: have it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Since October third, twenty three, well, Israel the worst attack
Speaker 1: terrorist attack, radical Islamic terrorists in their history. And Israel
Speaker 1: has been facing what you can argue is really a
Speaker 1: seven front war and they have been taking on more
Speaker 1: fire than any country has ever taken. And they are
Speaker 1: in a fight for their very survival. It has resulted
Speaker 1: in tens and tens of thousands of innocent Israelis that
Speaker 1: have been displaced from their homes. They need food, they
Speaker 1: need water, they need shelter, they need medicine, they need
Speaker 1: pretty much all the necessities, and so many families are
Speaker 1: still grieving over the loss of loved ones and enduring
Speaker 1: isolation and hunger during the holiday season is not good.
Speaker 1: We have proudly partnered with a wonderful organization. These are
Speaker 1: great people, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and
Speaker 1: they're asking you to join us and this holiday season
Speaker 1: think about helping to provide Hanukkah Christmas dinners boxes filled
Speaker 1: with basic necessities essentials to bring nourishment, warmth, comfort to
Speaker 1: people in need in the middle of the fight for
Speaker 1: their very survival and so many people. Honestly, the government
Speaker 1: can only do so much in a moment like this
Speaker 1: because they're in the middle of protecting their country. Anyway,
Speaker 1: please give the gift of hope and answered prayers this
Speaker 1: holiday season. Please go to the IFCJ website at SUPPORTIFCJ
Speaker 1: one word dot org. You can donate there support IFCJ
Speaker 1: dot org or call and make your donation over the phone.
Speaker 1: It's eight eight eight four eight eight I f CJ
Speaker 1: eight eight eight four eight eight if CJ two day
Speaker 1: and you will be helping people in need. Help is
Speaker 1: on the way, but it's not going to be soon enough.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: It's my last day before I go on my long
Speaker 1: vacation of the year. I'd like to get into Christmas
Speaker 1: spirit a little bit. I'd be negligent if I didn't
Speaker 1: thank this audience for what a year it's been. And
Speaker 1: I mean this with all my heart that every single
Speaker 1: one of you that that participated this year and made
Speaker 1: it important, that understood that the country was kind of
Speaker 1: on the precipice and it was an inflection point and
Speaker 1: that we had to win and it wasn't an option.
Speaker 1: And I know I was asking a lot of many
Speaker 1: of you. You know, there were there were legitimate arguments
Speaker 1: not to resist voting early, voting by mail, and many
Speaker 1: of you you did it anyway. And it's not the
Speaker 1: perfect system. I'm hoping we can have improvements in our
Speaker 1: voting integrity in our country for the long term I
Speaker 1: think we needed. But it was this was historic what
Speaker 1: we all have been able to pull off, and a
Speaker 1: lot of you give me credit, but I give all
Speaker 1: of you credit. I'm just one vote, like you, like
Speaker 1: you just have one vote. And honestly, it was such
Speaker 1: a historic comeback, and I really do believe that we're
Speaker 1: going to need your help come January, and Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: not going to be able to do it all on
Speaker 1: his own. And what he's trying to do is transformational.
Speaker 1: He's trying to return America to its constitutional purpose, the
Speaker 1: principles of our framers and founders, that is limited government,
Speaker 1: greater freedom, eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, while simultaneouitaneously getting
Speaker 1: rid of the biggest national security threat we've ever faced. Internally,
Speaker 1: we have known terrorists, cartel members, gang members, murderers, rapists,
Speaker 1: other violent criminals in the country, drug dealers in the country,
Speaker 1: all let in unvetted by Harris and Biden. Finding them
Speaker 1: is going to be an enormous task. The news media,
Speaker 1: I can predict to you, predict to you right now,
Speaker 1: is going to be, you know, throwing a hissy fit.
Speaker 1: They're going to be going crazy, Donald Trump. These are
Speaker 1: like internment camps. I pretty much can hear it all.
Speaker 1: And it's going to take and fortunately not everybody has
Speaker 1: the spine and in the backbone that Donald Trump has,
Speaker 1: and we are going to have to hold our elected
Speaker 1: officials accountable, and it's frustrating to me. I'd rather just
Speaker 1: kind of have a fun show today and pay calls
Speaker 1: and wish you all the merry Christmas and pray for
Speaker 1: you and your families, and and thank God for the
Speaker 1: greatest gift he gave all of us, liberty, freedom, the
Speaker 1: greatest country God ever gave man. And then we got
Speaker 1: these these guys in Washington doing what they usually do
Speaker 1: as if it's you know, business as usual. It's not
Speaker 1: business as usual anymore. And it's you know, I think
Speaker 1: Elon Musk goes right say it's criminal what they're doing.
Speaker 1: It really is with this this omnibus bill, and a
Speaker 1: lot of Republicans are participating in it, and they you know,
Speaker 1: include it in it a pay raise for themselves. Nobody's
Speaker 1: read the fifteen hundred pages because they just got them,
Speaker 1: and it's it's just typical Washington swampy behavior. And I'm
Speaker 1: just putting all these Republicans on notice, you better grow
Speaker 1: you better grow a spine over the holiday, because we
Speaker 1: need leaders, we need people that are going to do
Speaker 1: their job. Our friend Congressman Chip Roy of Texas voicing
Speaker 1: his concern over the latest, you know, fifteen hundred page
Speaker 1: spending bill. Here's what he said yesterday.
Speaker 6: Well, anytime you hear the phrase scrambling an end of
Speaker 6: the year, you should run and hide if you're an
Speaker 6: American and you care about pynservatism or reduction of debt
Speaker 6: or reduction of deficits, because they never go they never
Speaker 6: go together.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 6: The problem we've got here is the usual swamp way
Speaker 6: of legislating. And there's always a reason, right, There's always
Speaker 6: an excuse. Sometimes there are reasonable concerns, like the disaster
Speaker 6: situation for our friends in the southeast, farmers who are
Speaker 6: you know, getting absolutely hosed by the ridiculous policies to
Speaker 6: buy the administration, inflation and other geopolitical forces. These are
Speaker 6: all real issues. Nobody defeats that. The dispute that I
Speaker 6: have is that, as usual, we're just writing blank checks
Speaker 6: and then piling on complicated policies on healthcare, on energy,
Speaker 6: on any number of issues, buying some boats to put
Speaker 6: together a package with what they call four corners negotiations
Speaker 6: without a whole lot of you know, real input from
Speaker 6: those of us who have to vote on this stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's not wrong. I mean, we've got
Speaker 1: a multitude of challenges here. We've got you know, he
Speaker 1: think about how profound this is. Social security, medicare are
Speaker 1: headed towards insolvency. Okay, that's a problem for the country.
Speaker 1: We have a gap of vulnerability with our military. We
Speaker 1: have we have our you know, top geopolitical foes that
Speaker 1: have hypersonic missile technology that we don't have. That would
Speaker 1: be China and Russia. We have to prepare technologically for
Speaker 1: the new age of warfare. It's not going to be
Speaker 1: fought on a battlefield. We're not going to have kids
Speaker 1: like in Iraq going door to door getting blown up
Speaker 1: by IEDs without up armored humvees, which happened in Iraq.
Speaker 1: But it's not going to be fought that way in
Speaker 1: the future, and we're gonna need. Yes, Donald Trump wants
Speaker 1: the biggest iron dome to protect the entire country. If
Speaker 1: he pulls that off, I would argue that probably will
Speaker 1: be the greatest legacy in both his terms. And it
Speaker 1: may happen long after he's gone from this Earth, and
Speaker 1: one day somebody's going to fire nuclear weapons and we're
Speaker 1: going to be able to stop them, and even if
Speaker 1: it's hypersonic, we'll be able to stop them. And that's
Speaker 1: going to cost a lot of money, So we'll spend
Speaker 1: money shoring up social security and medicare. We've got to
Speaker 1: prepare for technologically for modern warfare, which is going to
Speaker 1: be fought in air conditioned offices with people pushing buttons.
Speaker 1: That's going to take a lot of investment, research, technology involved.
Speaker 1: Then we have to get rid of all of these
Speaker 1: criminals that Harris and Biden have allowed in. Hopefully before
Speaker 1: you know, those known terrorists are able to pull off
Speaker 1: a major attack on our homeland. I think the odds
Speaker 1: of that are very very high. I think it's a
Speaker 1: matter of when, not a matter of if. They already
Speaker 1: have Harris and Biden blood on their hands. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've got a lot to accomplish, you know. But with
Speaker 1: all that said, I am grateful to all of you,
Speaker 1: and I did, at different times try to deputize you,
Speaker 1: and so many of you were helpful getting out the
Speaker 1: Kamala files and the Walls files and all the things
Speaker 1: that we thought were important that the American people needed
Speaker 1: to know. And I'm very grateful for that, but we're
Speaker 1: going to be calling upon you again, probably sooner than later.
Speaker 1: And if we really want to take this moment and
Speaker 1: turn it into a transformative moment, it's going to be
Speaker 1: all hands on deck again. You can't just vote and
Speaker 1: then run away and say, Okay, I did my part.
Speaker 1: That's I'm grateful for your part. I'm not minimizing your part,
Speaker 1: but I'm very very clear and also pointing out to you,
Speaker 1: you know, look at you know, did they going to
Speaker 1: walk away today after only working what one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty eight days all year?
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Linda?
Speaker 1: How many days did I try to take off this year?
Speaker 1: That news would break and then I called myself back
Speaker 1: into work?
Speaker 2: Soe many times? Now there's more than seven.
Speaker 7: It was seven times that you actually took off. You
Speaker 7: misunderstand me. So there were many times that I might
Speaker 7: take off and then that never it just never came
Speaker 7: to fruition. Then there were actual times where you're like,
Speaker 7: I'm taking off. We had a guest host, we booked
Speaker 7: a whole show, and then you said, hmm, nope, never
Speaker 7: mind canceled.
Speaker 1: Because there was too much news going on and because
Speaker 1: I'm so dedicated to them. Yeah, and by the way,
Speaker 1: and it does annoy the crap out of you. And
Speaker 1: I understand that, you know, because it then becomes ugh,
Speaker 1: I got to call somebody and tell them, Hey, Hannay's back,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to try to actually take a real
Speaker 1: vacation this time. I don't know if I have no idea,
Speaker 1: if i'll I think you.
Speaker 7: Should go to the career rush away, take a lot
Speaker 7: of vacation, give yourself a forty raise, don't do anything.
Speaker 2: It would miss me too much if I was gone there, Oh.
Speaker 7: My god, I'd miss you. Forget about it. I'd be like,
Speaker 7: who can I yell at? I'd be yelling at myself
Speaker 7: in a Mirror'd be so boring.
Speaker 2: Okay, are you done that? That would be boring.
Speaker 7: I could do this for hours.
Speaker 1: You could do this for hours. So it's it's frustrating.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything we're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: do today to stop this. You know, as they go
Speaker 1: forward with this, and they want to get out of town,
Speaker 1: and they're going to get out of town. But those
Speaker 1: that are coming back to town, and one of the
Speaker 1: first things I hope they do is recind their own
Speaker 1: pay raise. You don't get to vote yourself a pay raise.
Speaker 1: You gotta earn it. The last time we balance the budget,
Speaker 1: it was Neuke Gingrich that was Speaker of the House.
Speaker 1: He was speaker if he balanced the budget for five
Speaker 1: straight years. It's not been balanced since. We have nearly
Speaker 1: forty trillion dollars in debt, and that's what your children
Speaker 1: and grandchildren will inherit from us. Now, we do have
Speaker 1: a solution that is out there, and I think Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is keenly aware of the importance of energy dominance
Speaker 1: that will help bring in massive amounts of revenue that
Speaker 1: will help advance our military and that gap of vulnerability,
Speaker 1: help hire the ice agents and officials to escort these
Speaker 1: people that didn't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignties home.
Speaker 1: Do it you mainly and compassionately. We can save and
Speaker 1: shore up social Security and Medicare. Promises made, promises kept,
Speaker 1: and we can survive without taxing social Security or taxing
Speaker 1: tips or taxing over time. It's about time the people
Speaker 1: that really do make this country great, the hard working
Speaker 1: men and women in this country, get their fair share
Speaker 1: and stop getting slammed by their government, you know, and
Speaker 1: we start rewarding good behavior. Working overtime is great behavior.
Speaker 1: You know what working overtime is. Working overtime to me
Speaker 1: is hey, you know what, You're just doing it for
Speaker 1: your family. Why why does the government get a piece
Speaker 1: of that? They get a piece of everything else. All right, quick, Frank,
Speaker 1: we'll come right back. We'll hit the phones eight hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety four one, Sean as we continue right ahead,
Speaker 1: All right, Don and Lake ronkonkom and next on the
Speaker 1: Sean Hennity Show. I want to issue a very merry Christmas,
Speaker 1: my friend.
Speaker 4: Oh merry Christmas to you, my friend, and to your
Speaker 4: wonderful radio crew and TV assistance, and to your best
Speaker 4: audience as well. But Moshaw and I didn't want to
Speaker 4: thank you so much for another great year of keeping
Speaker 4: me and your audience informed with the truth and fashional opinions.
Speaker 4: It's been a hell of a year. It was a
Speaker 4: crazy election that started with kill Biden ended with Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4: We saw a huge win for Donald trumpet was well deserved.
Speaker 4: But besides the election, you got us through two with
Speaker 4: him on Trump's Life, Uncontrolled Biden, Hanris, Border, out of Control, Climb,
Speaker 4: d Og law Fan, it goes on and on and on,
Speaker 4: and it's a lot of hard work.
Speaker 2: Sean.
Speaker 4: I'm well aware of the hours you put in behind
Speaker 4: a microphone and not behind a microphone, and I just
Speaker 4: wanted to thank you. It's been a great year.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I really owd to thank you
Speaker 1: to you because I get to do what I love.
Speaker 2: It's my passion.
Speaker 1: I've often said, You've heard me say that if I
Speaker 1: wasn't doing this on air, i'd be driving around in.
Speaker 2: A car talking to myself.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't know what that says about me,
Speaker 1: but I'm you know, this was a dream of mine.
Speaker 1: I never thought I'd ever be successful at it, but
Speaker 1: I gave it a shot. God blessed me more than
Speaker 1: I deserve. And you know what, now, God's blessing giving
Speaker 1: America an opportunity to get things straight, and I hope
Speaker 1: we all take advantage of it. But it's an all
Speaker 1: hands on deck moment. Next year is as important as
Speaker 1: this this year. We really have eighteen months to two
Speaker 1: years to get this agenda done. I mean, the more
Speaker 1: we get done, the more quickly we get it done,
Speaker 1: the better off we're all going to be. And so
Speaker 1: it's going to take a lot of pressure, a lot
Speaker 1: of hands on, a lot of phone calls made to Congress.
Speaker 1: You know, get used to congressional phone numbers being given out,
Speaker 1: because I'm going to be giving them out often. I
Speaker 1: have something big plan for my first week back after
Speaker 1: the new year, so stay tuned for that. I don't
Speaker 1: want to say anything right now. And we do have
Speaker 1: the first interview with Donald Trump in the Oval office.
Speaker 1: He did promise me that anyway, don we love you man,
Speaker 1: have a great holiday. All my best to you and
Speaker 1: your family and my friend.
Speaker 4: Going ahead, one more question for you though, Yeah, what
Speaker 4: are your plans for while you're off? Are you? I
Speaker 4: know you can't go skiing snowskiing down in Florida? Do
Speaker 4: you have any plans? I'm going to I'm going to
Speaker 4: go into my workshop, my little workshop, and put some
Speaker 4: stuff together.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you my number one plan is, I want
Speaker 1: to get back, I want to get centered, uh, spent
Speaker 1: time with friends and family, and I want downtime. I
Speaker 1: want to and I want my mind to get free.
Speaker 1: I want to get in that spiritual zone, find God
Speaker 1: and get centered and get a plan together for the
Speaker 1: new year. That's pretty much my plan. Not exciting, but
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's what I need to do
Speaker 1: to be able to be at my best, and that's
Speaker 1: what I plan on doing. And we're I'll work out
Speaker 1: every day too, all right, my friend, God bless you,
