Here. Let's get started. Who's going to win a midterm elections in November in the usa. Vital. And here's why. So President Trump has a very specific agenda. Very specific. He wants to do certain things. And I'll tell you exactly what he wants to do. You know, in his next three years, if he loses the House or the Senate, obviously, or both, that agenda is going to be much more difficult to implement. So be able to do executive orders, but they'll all be challenged in court. Impeachment. I don't think the Democrats are dumb enough to do that again. I mean, the two impeachments that Trump every history book from now until the end of time, we'll just ignore it because it was so stupid. And there's never going to be a conviction of Mr. Trump in the Senate unless new stuff comes out. Okay. About some heinous thing. But there are partisan Democrats who might do this stupid stuff, so that's something too. Okay, so what is my prediction? I can only make the prediction if the vote were held tomorrow.
Bill O'Reilly (1:55)
All right.
Bill O'Reilly (1:56)
Not in November, because so many things are going to happen. The vote were held tomorrow, Democrats would take one, the House of Representatives, and it might be a tie in the Senate, which of course the vice president, J.D. vance, would break. But the momentum is against President Trump right now. Why? Let's run it down. Okay, so the most important thing in this country is people's standard of living. How much money you have and is becoming increasingly difficult to get ahead of the bills. Now. It's if you want to pinpoint fall Covid. Covid caused this. And then Biden came in and spent gazillions of dollars trying to mitigate the damage Covid did to the economy. And that caused all kinds of inflation. And a lot of that inflation has not come down. The overall number has. But food in particular, meat has not. A lot of reasons for that. Insurance. The insurance companies are some of the greediest corporations in the world. The US Insurance companies. Greed, greed, greed. They seized upon Covid to jack every rate up. They Could. And that if there is an earthquake in Southern California, people in Maine are paying for that earthquake. That's the equation now. Yeah, that's what they do. And so insurance, health insurance is the worst because. Up, up, up, up, up, up, up. And then house and car. By the time you get paid any premiums, you're devastated. And then you got to buy the food, and then you got to buy a house now, depending on where you live. Okay, so Americans are going, whoa, got to be some relief. Well, the president has no wage. Price control, power. Can't do that. He can't wave a magic wand and say, hey, bring down a price of steak or burgers, but there are things that he can do. So he flooded his own with oil. And that has brought down in many parts of the country the price at the pump that's working. I don't know about the food chain. I don't know why it's so high. I'm very selective when I buy food. Very selective. Whatever. I'm not overpaying for it. But I don't have to have meat. I can eat fish. Doesn't matter. Doesn't bother me. All right. The second thing is the ice. Undocumented, most people support the removal of migrants who should not be here. The problem is that the government's messaging on this is not great. They don't explain why they're doing what they're doing. That has to improve. And it's damaged the Trump administration right now, particularly among Latinos. And they need a Latino vote. The GOP needs three. All the crazy stuff, you know, enough, enough, enough, enough. We get the Obama thing with this. We got that people exhausted. All right, that hurts. So you got a bunch of stuff that is swirling around. The good stuff isn't reported by the media. So the impression you get is all bad. It's not all these tariffs and everything that could lead could to much higher wages as the jobs become in the manufacturing service, and then you're going to get your tax refund. A lot of money coming into this country in the next few months. We don't know. All right, then we go overseas now. People don't vote. Foreign policy. Americans don't vote. Americans vote emotion. How am I feeling? Do I like this one? Do I not like this is what they vote? They don't know really what's going on. Ukraine, they don't care what's going on in Ukraine. They care that Putin is a madman and killing innocents. Yeah. Care that. They care that Iran is a terrorist sponsor. Yeah. Maduro nobody even heard of him until he got whacked. But nobody's going to vote foreign policy. And it is here where Donald Trump has been most successful. He's reshaping the world, right? So we are going to dominate the Americas, the United States. He's demanding Europe get stronger as a bulwark against Putin. And then he's kind of playing China eye to eye, you know, saying, you're not going to take over the world. You're not going to be the world superpower. We're going to remain that. That's the big picture. For Trump to assert and grow American power. And that's smart, but American. The grocery store trumps Beijing all day long. The average American voter, particularly female, and I know I'm going to get criticized for this, wants calm and wants to be able to pursue a worthwhile life, have enough money and assets to do that. That's it. Calm, financial stability. And right now, both of those areas are swirling around. That will help the Democrats. It doesn't matter that the Democrats don't have much solutions. Doesn't matter that their leadership is almost undefined. People vote motion. So again, vote for Hill tomorrow, the midterm elections. I think President Trump would lose a significant amount of power wherever. Wait till you see the next six months. And that's why you stay with us, not only on the YouTube channel, but on Bill O'Reilly.com where every day we're telling you the truth and we're covering stories that matter to you. All right? And I'll give you tell you one more thing. President Trump watches the newspaper news first when he reviews media every day. Bad Bunny money. Okay, now this story, like almost every other story in this country, is really not being told accurately. I have to confess, I don't care about Bad Bunny. The devious rabbit can do whatever he wants as long as he doesn't break the law. I don't care. I made a terrible prediction in the late 1990s that rap music would not last. I don't think I've ever been more wrong about anything. But I listened to it. I thought, oh, come on, this was the Eminem time. How can people what? We'll get back to Earth, Wind and Fire and the Four Tops and we'll get back to that kind of good song stuff. No. So now rap is enormous. And the money is incredible that people make putting this stuff out. Enter bad money. A Puerto Rican guy worked his way up first in the Latino community. He has 17 Latin Grammy Awards. 17. He's got six overall Grammys. He's put out 17 albums. Whatever. I'm sorry, seven or eight albums. Can't figure it out. But we can figure out that he is sold 124 million albums now. I've sold 24 million books. Bad Bunny is all 124 million albums. Whoa. So this is big dollars here, okay? Enter Apple. Apple wants you to download music from its services. That's what Apple wants you to do. Because there's a lot of money. People don't buy albums anymore. They don't buy 45s. They don't do that. They download music, but they pay for it. And Apple has got a lot of competition. So Apple enters into a deal with the National Football League, whereby Apple will spend $50 million to stage the halftime show at the Super Bowl. Apple's got exclusive rights there, okay? And Apple will also buy throughout the season advertisements and other things. So Apple is investing in the NFL big time. The quid pro quo is Bad Bunny does the super bowl not anything to do with Roc Nation or Jay Z or Beyonce. I mean, do with that. It has to do with, okay, Apple, you're one of our unbelievable sponsors. And if you would like the devious Rabbit, the headline the show at halftime, we'll take it. And that's what happened. Not cultural. The NFL didn't come down and go, oh, we want to gross everybody out. And if you listen to the English translation of Bad Bunny's music, it's just kind of, you know, you don't want kids listening to that. It's the usual rap stuff. The usual, you know, you know what it is, okay? But it wasn't like, yeah, let's have bad Bunnies come in and disrupt traditional America. That's not what happened. That's not the decision. Decision is money. Now. Got a little complicated. When Bad Bunny shows up and gets the Grammy Award and Bad Mouse his country, then the NFL goes, whoa, we can't have that at the halftime show. Remember, this beams out all over the world. And so the Rabbit's people were said told in no uncertain terms, none of that. And the Bad Bunny didn't do it, okay? Now Apple makes a ton of money because people all over the world are getting bad bunnies music, whatever it is, from Apple and other Apple artists. So they're going in there, they're getting familiar with the brand. I estimate Apple make four times the profit, four times than the investment when this thing is all over. I don't have the stats now, but they're colossal. Because, remember, all over the world, particularly in the Spanish speaking world in south and Central America, Luca markets for music, which is why you saw Ricky Martin. These other people in there couldn't get in there fast enough. Final couple of things. Bear Bad Bunny and get paid a dollar. They didn't pay him. They picked up his expenses for moving his crew into Santa Clara, California, rehearsals, hotels, that kind of thing, okay? Because bad Bunnies getting all of this, record sales, album sales. So Bad Bunny goes, I don't need to get paid. I'm going to get paid on this end for this. And the final thing is people who are upset about Bad Bunny. As you can see, I'm not upset about Bad Bunny. I don't particularly like what he does. I'll never consume that kind of information or entertainment. Doesn't mean anything to me. But the ones that scream the loudest against Bad Bunny are kind of doing the same thing because they want people to come to their websites or their cable shows or their publications. They want traditional people to go, ah, I hate this Bad Bunny. And then I'll come in and here Bad Bunny gets smashed. So they're making money from it, too. It's, this is what capitalism is, what America is, okay? You find a way to exploit situations for cash. If you do it legally, there's nothing wrong with that. I mean, I'm not offended when certain commentators go on their social media or their podcasts or their cables and scream about Bad Bunny being bad. What do I care? I know exactly what happened. I broke the story and makes perfect sense to me. This is a country in which we live. But the most strident critics of the devious Rabbit make money themselves criticizing him. So in the end, if you want to think about it this way, kind of everybody wins except the kids who listen to this guy and incorporate what he says into their lives. They don't win, they're the casualties. But otherwise, it's, hey, let's get that Bad Bunny up and running. Ravy Train city.
