That's fair enough.

A
Pretty close. You're watching. Pretty young close. Pretty Uncle Gruber, good talking to my friend. All right, folks, 4 o'. Clock. Oh, you see those lights come on like that? Dow, tough day in the markets. 350 lower in the Dow. 320. I'm sorry, 220 in the Nasdaq. Nasdaq was down 370 at one point. 38. Little bounce back in the S P. Gold took back 15 from a big loss yesterday. Again, gold is up about almost 50% year over year. Oil up a little bit. Crypto kind of floundering. Floundering just trailing off a little bit. There's a lot of selling, a lot of liquidation going on in crypto. All right, as promised, let's get right to this. All right, my next guest, celebrating 50 years in journalism. I said that right. 50 years. He's his own show on Bill O'Reilly.com called the no Spin News News. In his latest book, confronting Evil, Assessing the Worst of the Worst is number one on the New York Times best seller list, making this his 20th number one bestseller book. I don't think there's anyone close. I don't even know who number two would be. Maybe I don't. Bob Woodward. Who knows? Happy to have on Bill O'Reilly. Back to the show. Bill, really good to have you on. Congratulations, my friend. I mean, 20 number one New York Times bestseller. Who is number two? Do you know?
- [01:25]
B
Yeah, it's Woodward. He has 14. So I don't think my record's ever going to be broken. And we're the most successful nonfiction authors in the world. But I appreciate you mentioning bowling. But you know what I appreciate even more? That you wore a shirt for this interview. Thank you very much.
- [01:41]
A
I technically never not worn a shirt. I am wearing long sleeves for this interview. And as you noted, I cover up the tattoos. Deplorable basket of deplorables. I will tell you one thing, though, before we get into this. I do know there's a record that I will never, that I have, that will never be broken. It has something to do with you. There was a time I was asked to host your show. You were, you know, gallivanting around the world somewhere. I was sitting in and I was, yeah, I'm gonna fill in for O'Reilly. And at some point they said, can you do Fox and Friends in the morning? I'm like, geez, three hours of Fox and Friends. I did that. Did Bill O'Reilly. And Hannity was supposed to Be interviewing the would be President Trump somewhere in Detroit somewhere and his shot went down and they said stay in the seat, you gotta do Hannity. I, I'm pretty sure I'm the only human being ever to fill in for Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity on the same day.
- [02:30]
B
I could be wrong, but I think that's probably true. And back then you didn't have any tattoos. So you know, it was a good, it was a good sequence bowling and.
- [02:41]
A
Look how much more fun I am now. Bill, really? So, so 20 number one bestsellers. The worst. Assessing the worst of the worst begs the Is Putin the worst of the worst? Is Mao? Who is the worst of the worst?
- [02:55]
B
Well, the worst mass killer on the planet ever is Mao Zedong. 20 million of his own people went down and there isn't a Chinese person in that country that knows that. You go to Beijing, where I was in May, and there's pictures of Mao all over the place. You can imagine if an American had killed 20 million Americans. I don't think that person's picture would be all over the place. But Mao is the worst. And then it's up to the reader to decide. So we have 15 miscreants in the book, four on the COVID and then in the book 11 more. And each of them, they're evil. What they did maintains to this day. That's a common thread on all of these 15. What they did still influences the world. And it's a harrowing book, but a book that you'll learn an enormous amount about America and the world.
- [03:59]
A
Hitler killed 6 million Jews. He didn't make the COVID did he?
- [04:06]
B
Okay, I lost audio here.
- [04:10]
A
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
- [04:11]
B
I can hear you now. I could not, I could not hear that question.
- [04:15]
A
Okay, in three, two, one. Well, I put the COVID of the book back up. There is Adolf Hitler on the COVID He killed 6 million Jews. And I. Oh, there he is.
- [04:24]
B
There it is.
- [04:25]
A
There you go. Any Americans on that in the book, Bill?
- [04:29]
B
Oh, yeah, there's a slave traders. Two guys who had a business purchasing human beings, brutalizing them and then selling them. They became the richest men in the world by doing that heinous slave trade. And then there are the robber barons, J.P. morgan, Rockefeller, Carnegie, who amassed unbelievable fortunes by exploiting American workers, including children. And Teddy Roosevelt brought them down. I included the robber barons in the book because I wanted to get some heroes in the book too. And Teddy was a real hero there, almost single handedly went after the robber barons and he won. He beat them in the Supreme Court was close. And that turned around all the labor in America, which was horrendous at the beginning of the 19th century.
- [05:28]
A
Well, you got. You have a great book there, Bill, and we will absolutely read it. Quick thought on the New York mayoral race. Mamdani is leading. If Curtis Lewitt drops out, gives Andrew Cuomo a shot, a fighting man's shot. What, what are your thoughts on this? You want Curtis Lever to back out?
- [05:47]
B
I did a commentary today on it on wabc, which is our flagship in New York City. We do radio and television, as you know. And I said it's not my place to request that Curtis Sliwa drop out of the race because I believe he's a sincere man, that he thinks he could run the city better than Cuomo and Mandani. And he's put up himself into the arena, and it's not my place. I did lay out that Mandani will most likely be elected if Curtis does not drop out. So that's the decision that he has to make himself.
- [06:31]
A
What would you prefer? No one's gonna take that.
- [06:34]
B
I mean, I prefer Pauling. I prefer you to be mayor over Mandani. Any. Anybody.
- [06:40]
A
That's a big.
- [06:41]
B
This is a big disaster.
- [06:43]
A
That's a big statement, right?
- [06:46]
B
This is a disaster for the city, the largest city in the country and ahead of the capitalist movement in the world. I mean, this man will go in, will not enforce the law. So you'll have bodies piled up. You won't even be able to get the cops on a 911 call, right? And then there'll be a collapse of the economy as wealthy corporations and wage earners move out. They're going to pay 30, 40% in tax. Nobody's going to do that. Real estate will collapse. It'll be on and on. And this guy's going to get four years.
- [07:21]
A
My God, he's being erased by half the Democrat Party, certainly the socialist wing of the Democrat Party. But okay, so Bill won't ask Curtis Lee to back out. I would. On record, I'm not there anymore. But if I lived in New York or city or the state for that matter, I would be begging Curtis to step aside, let Andrew Cuomo give it a sh. Because anything's better than Mondami. I want to talk with you about this, Bill. I've known you, what, 25 years? 20, 25. 20, 25 years, whatever. I said in for you 200 times on the Bill O'Reilly show at Fox, Knowing you very well, I've never known you to be true MAGA or true America first or really a right winger. But I'm feeling the sense of this relationship. You go to the White House last week. You know, you're becoming. Are you maga?
- [08:11]
B
No, I'm not tied into any political party. I'm a registered independent. I go to the White House as any reporter would. I went to the Charlie Kirk medal ceremony, not as an invitee because I didn't know Mr. Kirk or his family. I went as a reporter, and that's the best way to serve my audience, that I was there. I saw who was there. I saw the interactions. I made headlines because I got, you know, Beck and Waters and Carlson all together in one photo, which will never happen again. And it went on all over the world in 10 minutes, as social media does now. And when any president asks me, and five of them have for advice, I give it to them because I love my country, but I'm not currying favor with any politician, and I never would.
- [09:10]
A
You've said this. He's called you. He calls you. You went to the baseball game. You gave me your book at the baseball game. So you're becoming pretty close. It just feels like you're moving a little further, right than what I've known you. I mean, I've been against terrorists. I don't know where you are. Here's another one. I don't love the idea of blowing narco terrorists out of the water without some sort of, I don't know, let's call it. I'm not sure they deserve due process fully, but I think maybe we could capture them first before we, you know, eliminate them. But just. It's a thought. There's just certain things that are going on. I'm just curious if you find some of the at fault with some of these things.
- [09:50]
B
I want more information about it, but I'm not opposed to designating drug smugglers as terrorists. They're killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. Come on. But when you whack somebody with US Air power, then you should explain to the people why you did it, how you knew they were a threat to this country. In a general way. You don't want to give up national security secrets, but I want more information coming forth. And I think what you're seeing, Bolling, is that the opposition to Donald Trump has become so radicalized, so far left in a danger zone. Mandani. Okay. And others, that my commentary becomes a little bit more forceful, not in support of the White House, but in opposition to what I feel is a much bigger threat. So I don't see President Trump as a threat at all. I don't think he's a king. I don't think he's screwing up. I think that his foreign policy is light years better than Biden or Obama or Bush the Younger or Clinton. I believe that the tariffs, I'm going to give them a fair shot. They may work for the US Economy by changing it into a manufacturing situation where wages are higher. So I don't see Trump as a deficit. If I begin to see him that way, I will certainly report it.
- [11:28]
A
Okay, got it. Very quickly, Bill, I only have about a minute or so. Yeah. I want to ask you this. I've known you a long time. You're a successful author. No one's going to touch your bestseller list. You're very wealthy man. You do. You've done extremely well your whole life. What makes Bill O'Reilly get up and do it every day? I mean, you could easily go off into the sunset, buy a beautiful home somewhere in the Caribbean island, whatever. Why do you do it every day?
- [11:51]
B
Well, number one, I think I have a reason to be here. See, I'm a man of faith. I go to Mass every Sunday. And I think I was put here for a reason. All right? And the reason is to bring as much information as I can to the millions of people who follow me, and that's through radio and television and books, whatever it is. And so if I leave to go to the Caribbean, then what do I accomplish there? I'm a big grape. I just sit down there, you know, it'd be fun. But at this point in my life, I have a vast amount of experience, I think more than any other journalists working with the exception of Brit Hume. And I'm imparting that wisdom bowling to those who would like to hear it. So it's a simple equation. But, you know, it is a burden to do all the stuff I'm doing. I mean, my God, I'm busier now than I was when I was 35. And that's kind of crazy.
- [12:54]
A
That's kind of good, too, Bill. I hope to be as busy as you are when I'm what I. You're substantially further down the road age than my young age of 61 years old. Bill O'Reilly, I love you, brother. I really do. I miss you. And thank you for spending a few minutes on bowling.
- [13:12]
B
Sure. Bowling. And we'll see you down in Florida this winter, I hope.

All right, folks, we're entering the Fourth week of the Schumer shutdown. And folks want to know if. What is the real economic impact of the shutdown. Here to discuss this, Birch Gold group's precious metal specialists. Welcome back. Philip. Patrick. So is there an effect? I mean, I think some of the. The numbers, the releases are. Are being held back. BLS is probably holding things back, but we can get into that. But before we jump into it, massive move down in gold yesterday for one day. Back up today a little bit. But I watched the US Dollar rally, and when the dollar rallies, gold comes off. Point is, I've watched the US Dollar sliding for, I don't know, a decade. It's sure to continue. And I see this as a buying opportunity for gold. What do you say? You may be muted. Philip, Are you muted? No, no, we have them. Okay.
- [16:57]
C
Oh, I'm sorry.
- [16:59]
A
There we go. We got them. There you go. Okay, so. So the. I'll reframe the question. IC gold, that big dip yesterday is as an opportunity to buy because the dollar will continue its slide at some point. What are your thoughts? Yeah, sorry.
- [17:10]
C
Sorry about that. Yeah, you're absolutely correct. So we've seen a slight strengthening in the US Dollar, but people have to remember that's on the back of the worst start to the year for the dollar since the 1970s. So we saw a slight bounce back. I think there's some positive news when it comes to China and trade, which the markets have responded to and obviously strengthened the dollar shorter term. But in my mind, all that's done is created, as you say, a buying opportunity. We never want to see something going up and up and up like gold. Was it done? Almost 15% in a couple of months. So to see some profit taking a small correction down, I think is welcome for investors.
- [17:48]
A
Philip, I just went back in this day. A year ago, gold was $2,750 an ounce. We're talking 4,100. It's like getting a 50% pay bump in your salary in a year. It's been a wonderful. Right. You're going to have these dips. And again, there's no reason that the US Dollar is. Is showing any sign of, you know, continued strength, which means when it weakens, gold goes up.
- [18:09]
C
Yeah, that's exactly correct. Is why central banks around the world are buying it in record quantities. Gold and the dollar inverse. And I think, broadly speaking, there is a structural shift happening. I think I ment I was on. Since the 80s, there's been this belief and an incorrect belief that US government debt and debt in general was risk free. And I think that's been shattered. Global debt to GDP is 245% now and rising. And I think there's a belief now that gold will become again the number two, number one global reserve asset with time.
- [18:44]
A
Does gold compete with crypto or not? So many people say, you know, Gold is a $27 trillion asset. Crypto is about a 2 trillion dollar asset in others. Do I risk people moving into crypto instead of gold when I'm holding gold?
- [18:59]
C
Listen, I think that crypto is going to see some pickup, right? Listen, the dollar is not looking at it as a good store of wealth. And I think people are looking for stores of wealth outside crypto being one of them. The difference with gold, it has an inverse relationship with the dollar. So, you know, if the dollar is going to go down, gold's going to go up. Crypto doesn't have that direct relationship. It may go up, it may go down. So it's not a direct currency hedge, but I think it's going to see some movement on the back of de dollarization as well.
- [19:27]
A
And very quickly. Do we have anything to worry about with the Bureau of Labor Statistics and other government agencies in during the shutdown not releasing data?
- [19:36]
C
Look, it's not a good look. First of all, it doesn't allow the Federal Reserve to make good decisions, which they haven't been for a while. Second of all, it's not a good look for the rest of the world. Don't forget we're going out every single day asking the world, cap in hand, asking for 25 to 30 billion dollars every day in loans. We can't even agree what we're going to spend that money on. It's like me going to a mortgage company and saying I want a loan, but I haven't picked the house yet. It's a bad look at a bad time.
- [20:06]
A
Very good, Mr. Philip Patrick. Great. Birch Gold Group folks. I use them, I love them, I trust them. You should too. Thank you, Philip.
- [20:15]
C
Thank you.
- [20:16]
A
All right, folks, our next guest, our own Rav correspondent, host of Law and Border, Ben Berkram. Ben, you are in a different background scenery a couple seconds. You're in Vermont, but tell us what's over your shoulder.
- [20:30]
D
Yeah, well, that's Canada. If you actually see the, they call it the slash right in between the trees right there, that is the border. If you just follow this fence line down, that is the border of Canada. This gate right here is the only thing that separates me from Canada right now. And that house is actually in Canada. So just gives you an idea. As President Trump has secured our southern border, just showing you the vulnerabilities of our northern border with the threats of jihad, with the threats of cartel. There's a lot going on up here. So I was just riding with border patrol chief of Swanton sector earlier today to uncover some of those and see what other threats we were facing and what President Trump and the team are doing about it.
- [21:10]
A
We have that sound mic, guys, let's roll that with. With the border agent of the Swanton sector, Garcia.
- [21:17]
E
Everything and anything that is crossing illegally in between the ports of entries and trying to sneak into this country is a concern for us. The transnational criminal organizations as well are connected with various associates from that may connect to the southern border, may connect to the coastal border, may connect in ways that are facilitating contraband that's making its way up from Central America into the United States into Canada. So, yes, that is a concern for us as well. And those connections and how that's building what it is that they're doing to exploit the vulnerabilities at the border. We work really well with some of our federal, state, county, local, tribal and international partners to get after those complex organizations.
- [22:15]
A
Fascinating thought here, Ben, is that I think he had said contraband comes through the southern border, makes its way through the United States and heads up north. Boy, that northern border is far less populated than the southern border. How do you, how in the world do you protect the border that size and that vastly remote?
- [22:35]
D
Well, that's the thing. Almost 6,000 miles of border compared to the 2,000 miles of our southern border. It is extremely difficult. And so you've got a combination of factors. The changing terrain. You go from this farmland to forest to swamps to mountains and then Great Lakes in between, as well as the weather. You know, it's starting to get cold. It's going to be minus 20 degrees here very soon. You've got snow. So there's certain areas and it's not like our southern border where you have a road across the entire thing. In fact, most of it has no road. And so the only way to get to it is either by snow machine or four wheel drive or horse or by foot. And so it's extremely difficult. But that's why it's a combination of manpower and technology working together up here. Some of the elements actually help play a part in that, making it more difficult. You know, Obviously, when it's minus 30 degrees harder to get across. But the cartel doesn't care. They send people every part of the year. And so that's, you know, that's one of the things these guys are dealing with. It's not just the drugs and the people that are coming across or the guns that are going north. It's the people that are getting stuck out here and dying of, of hypothermia because the cartel didn't tell them that it's going to be minus 30. They just sent them anyway.
- [23:49]
A
So amazing. Then you're out in these locations and the risk you put yourself at risk. We know Oscar has been literally threatened by the cartels. Cartels are sending people south from Canada as well, not just people moving through, going north. Are we. Are we at risk of having, you know, fentanyl coming in from our northern border as well?
- [24:09]
D
Yeah, absolutely. In fact, the CCP has operations in Canada. They have those operations stretched down into Maine. You've got the cartel, different factions of Sinaloa and other cartels operating in Canada. Some of the traffic is coming through the United States. You have cartel, obviously across the United States. So there's pipelines that go directly from Mexico into the United States, into Canada, but there's also pipelines that go from Canada back down into the United States. Some people flying directly into Canada, getting visas or visa waivers and coming in, and some of the materials coming directly into Canada and then dropping south. So it's a combination, and that's what makes it so difficult. You know, they have trail cams out here. A lot of the farmers have trail cams and they have people going in both directions. So you have illegals going from a US Into Canada, and you have, as well as coming from Canada into the U.S. so the, the dynamics here are different.
- [24:59]
A
I'll tell you what.
- [25:00]
D
Incredibly important. And we talk about the terror threat. One, you know, how many terrorists is too many?
- [25:05]
C
That's.
- [25:05]
D
That's the big concern of folks up here especially.
- [25:08]
A
It's very clear the border. The whole group, people protecting homeland need a lot more money, need a lot more assets, need a lot more human beings. Ben, please stay safe. Brother Ben Burkham. Stay safe.
- [25:21]
D
Will do.
- [25:22]
A
Thank you. Thank you. All right, folks, we'll be back. Two and a half minutes. You know, if only the Democrats cared as much about the needs of everyday Americans as much as they care about the construction of a ballroom of that house right there. Right now. While you worry about the safety of your loved ones and paying your bills, Democrats are losing their minds over President Trump's plan to rebuild a $250 million ballroom in the White House.
- [25:57]
F
I think it's fairly grotesque to begin construction. Just the optics of beginning construction on a grand ballroom at a time when the government is shut down, inflation is still high. I would say the timing is horrible. And look, personally, you know, it was a little shocking to see those images having worked in the White House.
- [26:20]
A
Well, that's Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign senior adviser, by the way. And Hillary also made it clear she's not a fan of the president's White House overhaul, posting this, and I'm quoting Hill Shady right here, quote, it's not his house, it's your house, and he's destroying it. All right, Hillary, let's talk about this a little bit. Like, remember when the Clinton stole stuff from the White House, $28,000 worth of furniture. If I do recall correctly, the year was 2001. George W. Bush had just defeated Al Gore in the infamous hanging chad presidential election from hell. The whole Clinton posse was very upset about how things turned out. And so to drive the point home, Clinton, or at least those working under him, went and ransacked the current White House. The departing Clintons were accused of stealing furniture, vandalizing federal buildings, and leaving a general mess for the Bush team to clean up. The extent of the damage reported in the press was stunning. The Clintons allegedly left behind filthy carpets, slashed computer cords, and trash on the floor. Profane messages had apparently been recorded on answering machines. Graffiti had been painted on the walls, and pornography had been left on computer screens. Not making this stuff up, folks. Again, Hillary Clinton says it's her house. It was her house during that time, too. An extensive amount of stuff was allegedly to have been stolen from everything from furniture to silverware. That's right. They took all the silverware out of the White House ballroom. They stole the silverware. In a jab at the new president, The W keys had been removed from computer keyboards. W right off the keyboards. Which brings us conveniently back to this post. Hillary, respectfully walk away from this one. You should quote, our house is where Bill Clinton made a mockery of the Oval Office with the cigar. I won't go into detail. Use your imagination, Monica Lewinsky. Let's not do this, Hillary, shall we? History and facts are always a massive inconvenience to the Democrat Party, which seems to have the memory of a flea. Or they hope we can't hear or read or see. Hate to disturb their sense of delusion. But renovating the White House is most certainly not exclusive to President Trump. Shall we do this? Just a few examples here. Teddy Roosevelt built the West Wing. Taft added the first Oval Office. FDR added the entire West. I'm sorry, east wing. Beautiful east wing of the east room with an indoor pool for himself, by the way. Nixon added the press room and a bowling alley. You know what they did? They filled up the swimming pool for the press room. That's what they did. I mean, come on. That's right. Oh, how about this one? Barack Obama, he added a basketball court and now they're absolutely breaking down, freaking out over a large, privately funded, by the way, ballroom. But this is far different.
- [29:10]
G
Yeah, painful.
- [29:11]
F
I mean, this is historic structure.
- [29:14]
A
It's his, it's history being torn to shreds. And again, is everybody, I mean, so if somebody wants to, to go into the White House, the next person wants to just knock down all the walls and turn it into a disco. Congress can't do anything. I mean, seriously, you're destroying like one of the most historic structures on the planet. Yeah.
- [29:34]
B
And the cost.
- [29:35]
A
And are we saying that whoever we elect president has the right to destroy, like what, just, just tear things up, tear it to the ground, turn it into something else. You are so dramatic. Joe and Mika can believe that you're doing this. Just a small part of the east wing. It's a privately funded activity right here. Not a taxpayer cent is going to be spent on this. And really it's good for the country. But that doesn't stop them, as you know, who is still bulldozing ahead with building a White House ballroom that no.
- [30:11]
B
One voted for, for, no one asked for.
- [30:14]
F
And once again, it's promises made and promises broken. Disco. You know, I, I, they've wanted a disco in Trumptown for hundreds of years. So I mean, come on, man, this, you don't own that building. That is the people's building. You don't own it. You don't own it.
- [30:39]
A
Take it down. You don't own it.
- [30:44]
F
Behind you.
- [30:45]
A
Another time. Very good. Oh God, please make it stop. Please make them stop singing. Well, actually, it's nothing like that at all. The view. And here's the thing, and I think this is why Democrats can't wrap their tiny little useless brains around this. This is just what happens when people receive money to make renovations or fix something and they actually do it. They fix it. They use the money to fix stuff. I know it's foreign to a party that held power for so many years, claimed to be all about fixing our infrastructure, but actually did nothing at all. Trillion dollars down the tube. Trillion dollar monstrosity of a bill. What was it called again? Build back better. Well, we saw no build no back and definitely no better. Oh, and hey, Joe Biden, what about that bridge you were going to fix lickety split that was destroyed by the boat in Baltimore? Hey, Gavin, how about rebuilding the Pacific Palisades that you received fundraising millions and millions of dollars for but have done absolutely nothing to fix? Trump had to fix it. Oh, how about that Barack Obama? How's that monstrosity? Oops, sorry. I meant presidential library that looks like it was built during the Cold War in the Soviet Union. How's that moving along? I can imagine that Democrats are just totally shocked by seeing people actually do the things they said they were going to do in the money. Using the money that that isn't even taxpayer money and doing it in the timely fashion, also privately funded, no taxpayer dollars going towards the building of that ballroom. So Democrats, especially you, Hillary Clinton, please, for the love of God, go fix something that actually needs fixing or go help someone. Like actually help someone do something or respectfully, please shut the hell up. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes. Alrighty, folks, there it is. White House. I think some NATO leaders are meeting with President Trump in there. He was going to come to the speaker, the microphone, the cameras. I'm not sure if he is or not, but in the meantime, we got a lot to talk about. Man. I pull out that first screen because it's amazing.

And I absolutely thank you for your support. Alrighty, folks. Democrats. Those darn Democrats, right? They've already proven that violence is their preferred method of getting everything and anything.
- [34:08]
F
They Want get this man out of here. Now if that doesn't happen, and we're not promoting it for one second, but if that doesn't happen, there will be violence. And these people had the opportunity to stop it and they didn't.
- [34:30]
A
Oh sure, Karen, whatever you say. Only get this straight. Remove our democratically elected president because you just don't like what he's got to say. Got it. That message of threatening violence, well that comes from the very tip top of the Democrat party. Here's Hakeem Jeffries issuing threats to so called extremists. That's just what they now call MAGA Republicans by the way.
- [34:53]
B
And when it comes to these extremists out there, you better watch how you talk when you talk about me.
- [35:01]
A
That's the extremist out there. Oh wait a minute. The guys who assassinate Charlie Kirk from the left and the guys who tried to take out Trump three times, two, maybe three times from the left, they're not extremists. But us MAGA people are. Just because we like lower taxes and a secure border. Got it Hakeem. Fake Obama. It was also quite the moment when dollar store Obama teaming Obama was forced to watch the President's trolling meme on loop during the CNN interview watch which.
- [35:28]
F
Showed him with a crown flying in a plane bombing the no kings protestors with piles of waste. It's a family program. I'll use that word. House Speaker Mike Johnson says that it's just Trump using social media and, and satire. Satire is the word that he used to make a point. How do you see it?
- [35:52]
B
Well, that video is deeply unserious, deeply unpresidential and deeply un American. But unfortunately it's the type of erratic, extreme behavior that the American people have continued to see from this president and from this administration from the very beginning. And, and of course it's no surprise to us that House Republicans continue to behave as nothing more than reckless rubber stamps for Donald Trump's extreme agenda that's hurting the American people.
- [36:22]
A
What she call it waste. That's poop. Let's call it what it is. That's hilarious. So it's not that Trump is acting like a child, it's he knows how to press their buttons. He gets inside, he lives rent free in the Democrats head. So he does these rats, okay, Sometimes childish things. It just makes them crazy. And he just sits back and watches. Have they all have these freakouts. Jen Psaki circle back. Psaki has always been a lying shill for the Democrat party. And just like her party she's reaching new lows these days. Here she is, trashy and classless as ever, making disgusting and baseless comments about the Second lady of the United States in her marriage to the vp.
- [36:59]
F
I think the little Manchurian candidate, JD Vance, wants to be president more than anything else. I always wonder what's going on in the mind of his wife.
- [37:10]
A
Like, are you okay?
- [37:11]
F
Please blink four times. We'll come over here, we'll, we'll save you. And that he's willing to do anything to get there. And that your whole iteration you just outlined, I mean, he's scarier in certain ways, he's smarter in some ways. And he's young and ambitious and ambitious and agile in the sense that he is a chameleon who makes himself into whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him.
- [37:38]
A
And they don't know. I'm sure she's never met Usha Vance. She's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful lady. Very devoted, very family oriented, as is J.D. it's just disgusting what they do. They just, they, they take shots they know nothing, absolutely nothing about. There is absolutely nothing in Usha Vance and J.D. vance's history that shows that there's any sort of animosity between the two. There's a very loving family. They love their children. It's, it's crazy. These people are, are horrible people. But it was nice, I'll tell you, not having to hear from Corinne Jean Pierre, KJP for a while, wasn't it? And then in announcing that she was writing a book, she made sure to let us all know that she was leaving the Democrat Party. Sure you are. As if anyone cares anyway. But folks, I'm afraid she's back. KJP is back in promoting her tour and she's reminding us of why she was actually the worst White House press secretary in the. Forget modern history in history.
- [38:32]
F
He did, Tim, he did talk about.
- [38:35]
A
He talked way less to the press.
- [38:37]
B
Than Donald Trump does. Way less.
- [38:39]
A
And he wasn't out there at all. He wasn't good off the cuff. He wasn't doing press conferences. Let's just be real.
- [38:44]
B
Like, he didn't do night events.
- [38:46]
F
That's not true. When we talk about the mental acuity. And again, I take this very, very seriously. I never saw anyone who wasn't there. Was he, did he have the questions that I was getting the mental acuity? Was he able to govern? And the man that I saw nearly every day was someone who was engaging, understood policy and was always putting the American people first. And it showed. It Showed.
- [39:16]
G
I'm not.
- [39:16]
F
Guys, I'm being clear. I'm not saying he didn't age, but I'm saying he was there. He was like, really?
- [39:22]
A
It wasn't dementia?
- [39:23]
F
No, no, he wasn't there.
- [39:26]
A
First of all, that's kjp. It doesn't look like kgp. All right, so you know what it is? So she wrote the book, she says she's leaving Democrat Party bs. I'm calling BS on that. She's applying for a job on the View. I will bet you my bottom dollars that she's got an agent already talking to the agents over at ABC trying to get her onto the View. Oh, my goodness. Couldn't. Could it get worse? Could it get worse, putting her on the table? I. I guess it could. Aside from insisting on continuing to lie about Joe Biden's mental decline, I guess he can leave the party, but not the lies. KJP also clearly hasn't left behind her former party's obsession with identity politics.
- [40:04]
F
As a black woman who has walked through the walls of the White House and been part of this party for a very long time, I believe, and this is my personal opinion, that we get forgotten and that, by large part, the Democratic Party does not see us. And for me, as a black woman, as a person who's also lgbtq, I feel as if those communities that I am part of largely get taken for granted.
- [40:34]
A
You know, the worst part of this feels like a year ago, having to listen to that BS nonsense. You know, it's been so refreshing not to have to hear that I'm a racist or I'm a bigot or I'm a homophobe or I'm, you know, against democracy because I'm mad. And they want to bring that back. Are they nuts? Don't see America's moving forward. It wouldn't be a show unless we had millionaires and billionaires. Bernie Sanders in it. He owns three houses and flies private jets around the country while fighting the oligarchs. So that level of hypocrisy already in the works, it's no surprise that Bernie is able to say something like this without even flinching an eye. Meanwhile, in an unprecedented way, and this is scary stuff, he is going after the Attorney General of the State of New York because she did her job. Going after a sitting United States senator, going after the head, former head of the FBI. That is not what America is about. We disagree with each other. That's fine. But we don't throw our opponents in jail. New York, New York. So he's against oligarchs, yet he's got three houses, flies around, private jets. Copy. Typical Democrat hypocrisy. And finally proving that they've learned absolutely nothing about why they lost the last election. Jimmy Kimmel is out and about grooming children again.
- [41:54]
B
Ew.
- [41:57]
A
I'm Christian. Do I scare any of you?
- [42:02]
F
No.
- [42:03]
C
No.
- [42:04]
B
Really.
- [42:05]
F
You just look amazing.
- [42:06]
A
Why would that be scary?
- [42:08]
C
That is so affirming.
- [42:09]
A
Thank you so much.
- [42:09]
C
You guys look amazing, too.
- [42:11]
B
Thank you.
- [42:12]
A
What the hell was that? Why'd I have to watch that? Do we have to? Mad Dog, are you on the horn? Yes, sir. Why do we have to watch that?
- [42:19]
G
That?
- [42:20]
A
I don't know. It's very. I can't unsee that. Gross, Kimmel. Tell you what, let's get out of here. We'll be right back. I just got a text from Brian Glenn, who's in the Oval Office and says it looks like. Like it may not actually happen. Maybe close, as they say to the press for now. So we shall see. In the meantime, Mad the favorite part. Favorite part of the show. It's either talking to my good friend Steve Bannon, who I always learned something from, or we get to hear from you folks. And we haven't done voicemails a lot recently, but we're going to get back to them as we can. Mad Dog, give me a voicemail. Yes, sir. Viewer says the Republicans always talk about Dems.
- [43:37]
G
Yeah, this is Jim from Pennsylvania. You know the Republicans always talking about the Democrats. They ain't no better than the. They ain't no better than the. The Democrats. They wrong they themselves. One can't talk about the other one, so I don't know why. They like they possessed with the Democrats. They possessed with them. And they ain't right themselves. It's a shame. Yeah, they talking about from a damn right there on themselves. They ain't doing right by the American people, so they can't talk about nobody. They ain't doing nothing good for the American people. They doing nothing good for them because they ain't did nothing. Still high. Liquor, still high. Food, still high rent still high. They did nothing on that order. Nothing. So they can't talk about the Democrats. They ain't did nothing for the American people. Everything they did is for the rich.
- [44:28]
A
Go. Let's go. Let's get my. I don't know. Oil prices are down, crime is down in major cities. You can go out to dinner in D.C. the border is being closed. We're not worried about our children being groomed by transsexuals. In the schools or in the streets or in parades anymore. No offense, sir. You sound like you're a Democrat and you have a problem. Where were you for the last four years when all that crap is going on? Just saying. Mad Dog, another one. This viewer is wondering if Zelinsky and Putin are working together.
- [45:03]
G
Time for Eric Bolden. Anyhow. Hi, Eric. This is Art from Illinois. I got a question. Is it just me, or does it seem like Zelinsky and Putin are working together with the Deep State to keep this war going?
- [45:19]
B
I don't know.
- [45:20]
G
It's just a thought.
- [45:21]
A
Well, Art, thank you for the song, Art. But, yeah, it is just you, I think, is like. I think there's like several hundred thousand bodies on both sides. I don't think that they're working together for that. I hate to hate the thought of that. And certainly our two or $300 billion that we've sent to Ukraine already being wasted with Putin working with. I know. I think. I think it's just you, Art. No offense, but thank you for the call. Mad Dog. This viewer doesn't want the government to reopen.
- [45:50]
G
Hey, Eric. This is Nanette from Hob Sound, Florida. I don't want the government to reopen. I don't want it to ever reopen. I am very happy with everything that's happening right now. President Trump is doing an excellent job. We don't need those people, do we? I don't think so, but that's my opinion. You know what they say about opinions. Everybody's got one, so have a great day.
- [46:22]
A
No, they also say something else. Everyone's got one, but. But you're right. I agree with you. Nanette from Florida, I agree with you. I know there are people. You got to get the Social Security payments out. You got to get essential services. We got to feed and pay for our military. But beyond that, find the money and keep essential services up. I. You know what happens to me, I see this, and I know what happens. They fight. The Republicans, Democrats fight, and they agree at some level of increased spending, and then they pat each other on the back and we're going, well, government's open. But all they've done is they've raised the bar, they've raised the amount of spending government has, and it's a new baseline. It never goes down. We talked about this before. When Trump had to spend, I think, a trillion and a half dollars to save the economy from COVID It was supposed to be temporary. It's supposed to go down. Biden took it and made it a base and then added another trillion dollars for infrastructure one time. And that became the new base, folks. They do it on both sides. They pull the wool over our eyes. They pretend they're fighting. They get something together. They act like they're doing us a favor and all they're doing is spending more of our damn money. Shut the damn place down. Look, everything's fine. We've been shut down a month. Everything's fine, right? Stay shut down too long, people might realize, stay the hell shut down. Or start cutting some services that don't need to be essential anymore. Mad Dog, this Vera wants an executive order to whoever deflaces the flag.
- [47:53]
G
Love your show, guy. Hey, we need an executive order. Anybody defaces American flag, burns it, destroys it. One year in prison, you get out. You're an American. You got one year to get out of the United States. If not one year, another year prison.
- [48:10]
A
Interesting. There is one. He did one of those a couple of months ago. In fact, he did that. He did three or four executive orders. He's done hundreds of them, maybe even more than hundreds of them. But here's the thing. We had MTG on saying that she had a couple of. One of those was deflacing, defacing the American flag. Another one was English as the primary language in America. These are executive orders. They were never codified in Congress. And MTG says, we have the House, we have the Senate, we certainly have the House. To vote on a codification, let's do it so that if it goes to the Senate, it passes. There it goes. But they don't do it because MTG claims there are Republicans. Republicans are questionable and no one wants to call them out because when you vote as a member of Congress, your vote is tallied. And there are Republicans who are afraid to vote for some of Trump's SEOs. We have MTG on tomorrow, so we'll ask her about that. But there are executive orders for these. I think you're right, though. There's. It needs to be. It's just. Too many. Too many men and women have died. We've spent too much money and too much blood and treasure. Too many have died defending that flag to just say free speech. At least I'm a free speech advocate. It's a tough one. It's. It's a real tough one. It's a real tough one. I think the. The patriot me says put him in jail. The libertarian free speech person says it's disgusting. But free speech is very, very important in America. Mad Dog, some great great voicemails this time. I don't think we have time to squeeze in another one. Shocking. We got in the whole show.
- [49:39]
G
Oh, God. Hey, Eric. You're my favorite. Eric from the five. It's Holly G from the panhandle. And that caller, tell him to call my pillow. Roll tide.
- [49:50]
A
Roll tide. There you go. Thank you. Thank you. That was a another era, but all good. Warham's coming up next. We'll be back with you.
