Hello, America. We've got a great show for you.
00:00:10.060
We're going to talk a little bit about the MECA and President Trump tweets
00:00:14.640
and try to help the president help himself a little bit,
00:00:19.540
what he should do as president of the United States.
00:00:26.020
but Miley Cyrus is completely ageless and genderless, according to her.
00:00:32.760
The House has passed Kate's Law as part of an illegal immigration crackdown,
00:00:39.200
and some now are saying that is thanks to Bill O'Reilly.
00:00:46.940
He'll be with us in hour number two, hour number three,
00:01:46.420
you might want to pull over to the side of the road.
00:01:52.320
There's three people that haven't pulled over yet.
00:44:59.180
this is this is symbolic of why america is in so
00:45:04.160
much trouble this hates law i i don't uh i don't
00:45:08.220
have a problem with the media ignoring it because i
00:45:10.180
think it has a chance of uh of passing in the senate
00:45:13.600
with uh you know with the media ignoring it i mean
00:45:16.860
the yesterday a couple of things uh happened this
00:45:20.460
week because i think you know unbeknownst to him or
00:45:24.320
uh not coordinated or not thought out this way i think his tweet
00:45:29.120
um really kind of covered the tracks of the republicans in congress
00:45:33.600
to be able to get a couple of things done without the media just harping on it
00:45:37.580
well i mean i'll talk about the tweets in a moment i want to advance this story
00:45:43.320
because again i'm watching uh and reading the coverage of it
00:45:47.320
and they're missing the essential point of what
00:45:50.620
trump is doing and i'll explain in a minute but
00:45:54.460
to get back to uh the country being in trouble and it is
00:45:59.580
it is we have a corrupt media a media that's not seeking the truth
00:46:04.480
everybody in the business knows it we journalists know this
00:46:09.060
all right so the media is not going to help the folks
00:46:12.120
not going to report honestly to your listeners it isn't going to do it
00:46:16.640
that's dangerous secondly we had cowardly politicians
00:46:20.660
who take orders from the likes of nancy pelosi and chuck schumer
00:46:28.380
they are corrupt people all right they are giving orders
00:46:32.420
not to support kate's law not to uh you know to promote anarchy in sanctuary
00:46:38.780
cities they're giving orders to do that and if you don't
00:46:41.960
toe that line they'll punish you in congress by denying you funds to
00:46:46.880
campaign by giving you a hard time by supporting people to run against you in
00:46:51.300
primaries this is corruption the republicans do
00:46:54.660
exactly the same thing look i mean not at the level but not at
00:46:58.540
that level i disagree they don't look at i'll talk to give me one example wait wait back
00:47:03.780
give me one example that's all i'm asking of you today one example of legislation that would help the
00:47:10.880
country that republican leadership have shot down with threats give me one uh yeah health care
00:47:18.400
actually repealing it uh and they have threatened ran paul mike lee uh ted cruz ron johnson they have
00:47:27.200
they have gone after them they have spread lies uh you have uh you have let's see how that plays out
00:47:34.320
let's see how that bill plays out i i'm going to cede your point that there's pressure put upon
00:47:40.240
republicans to vote for this new health care thing but i'm not so sure that's bad for the country
00:47:46.780
that's that that's the delineation line there go ahead how this this uh they that now they've uh
00:47:54.640
you know gone back on their word they're not going to stop the uh mandate and the taxes
00:47:59.420
so i mean we don't know that yet we got to see we got to see what that is if they pull the uh tax
00:48:08.160
cuts out of the bill i will be disappointed well what what does this bill do bill even if it has the
00:48:16.760
tax cuts it how does this help here's here's what i here's what i want to ask i don't want to talk
00:48:22.680
about politics on this what i want to ask is uh do you believe that that the republicans or the
00:48:32.360
democrats are actually serious and have proposed something that will help the regular person
00:48:40.300
get health insurance when their health insurance premiums have gone up 140 percent and it and it also
00:48:49.460
helps the people who don't have health insurance and really need it do you think this bill has done
00:48:56.880
anything to change anything to help those people i can answer that this way if this bill passes it
00:49:04.720
opens the door for another bill right behind it that says health insurance companies can compete
00:49:13.380
nationwide that why don't they do that premiums why don't they do this why don't they do that same
00:49:20.060
time they can because they can't get it through if they put that in the bill they'd have to get 60
00:49:27.580
votes in the senate all right by the senate's arcane rules and and no it is it is because we were not
00:49:35.200
according i mean i'll just i'll just take the word of of ran paul uh mike lee and ted cruz that
00:49:42.880
uh they can uh do these things and it is not uh the senate rules and uh and not the uh if they put
00:49:53.620
if they put um that in the bill that insurance companies can compete nationwide they would need
00:50:00.160
a 60 vote threshold just like they need for kate's law in the senate okay without it they can just do
00:50:08.620
a simple majority in the senate so that's what our research shows i i could be wrong i'm depending
00:50:14.520
on my researchers right so so let me ask you this right on this um ben sass said uh yesterday uh if
00:50:21.480
you can't get this through just repeal and then come back with a better uh you know with a better plan
00:50:28.640
just repeal it i'm not opposed to that right and the president came out today and he tweeted
00:50:33.980
about 20 minutes later we should just repeal it uh why don't we go for that uh but let's see
00:50:41.920
all right um let's see if they do it or not i'm so i'm on your side on that i think the tweet though
00:50:47.140
said uh they should just repeal it because mika brzezinski is and then he put in some bad word
00:50:52.740
did i get that wrong so yeah uh you know i want to take a quick break and then i want to come back
00:50:58.060
uh with this obsession about uh women bleeding from their whatever uh that the the president seems
00:51:04.540
to have uh and and how you view joe and mika i mean uh some are saying that they deserve it the
00:51:14.640

just a second uh and uh and we welcome bill o'reilly from bill o'reilly.com who is now going
00:53:18.860
to share with us his uh his take on the tweeting nonsense uh between uh joe and mika and the president
00:53:28.800
of the united states yesterday the president uh tweeted something that said uh you know they were they
00:53:34.820
were down at mar-a-lago and her face was bleeding from a facelift and uh and they wanted to come for
00:53:42.460
a party and and i said no you got to stay upstairs and it was it was weird uh joe and mika uh responded
00:53:50.020
today with an op-ed and also they stayed they stayed on their tv show uh hoping that maybe somebody would
00:53:57.120
watch it uh and i don't know if anybody did but uh they made a statement and responded today
00:54:03.000
uh saying that that's not true and showed pictures of them at mar-a-lago at the time and she wasn't
00:54:08.760
bleeding from her whatever bill what do you make of this well there's a we got to walk through it step
00:54:15.180
by step um number one um donald trump is way oversensitive to criticism on cable news i i i don't
00:54:26.220
know why um and number two i would submit that 90 of the american population does not know who joe and
00:54:38.160
mika are come on it's not that low there's it's more like 98 don't know all right well i'm i'm being
00:54:47.000
generous and i'm not this isn't a slap this isn't a slap at them no nobody watches msnbc right right
00:54:53.800
they're not they're not household names people don't know they are what they do so that trump
00:55:01.820
in his anger elevated them did them a favor because now a lot of people know at least their names and
00:55:09.620
today they'll get probably record ratings on their program yes so if if the intent was to hurt them
00:55:16.420
he didn't but i don't think that's the intent here i i think and i could be wrong i'm speculating now
00:55:23.400
but i know the players pretty well i think that donald trump and his advisors his close advisors
00:55:30.220
like bannon steve bannon have decided that they're never going to get fair coverage from
00:55:37.920
the american press so that they're going to make the american press the enemy and then next time around
00:55:45.960
they're going to run against the american press as well as whoever the democrats throw up
00:55:51.040
and they're calculating that the american people are so furious with the media and polls show that's
00:55:58.180
true yes that they'll gain they'll gain acceptance the the trump administration will gain acceptance
00:56:06.400
from more americans by being aggressively um aggressively brutal toward the press
00:56:16.680
than they would if they ignored it i think it's a political strategy that they feel that they're
00:56:24.420
going to get votes in the long run by doing this okay so i i i kind of agree with you or at least can
00:56:32.840
see that that is of a real possibility um but how does the president uh win when he's when he's using
00:56:43.420
this as a strategy to uh go against the press how does he win in bringing the country together when
00:56:51.700
he is doing something that most people even some of his supporters are really disgusted by i mean
00:56:59.300
you just don't do that to a woman or anybody you just don't treat people that way and then yesterday
00:57:04.820
the white house came out and said well yes but they start literally yes but joe and mika started it
00:57:10.100
i mean right he's the president number one i i don't i don't think president trump wants to bring
00:57:15.760
the country together because i i think that their calculation the administration's calculation is
00:57:21.540
that's never going to happen no matter what he does so i don't think that's that's a priority or
00:57:26.200
even it or even discussed okay it's basically us against them us against them so let's stop um
00:57:33.580
there and we'll come back and i i want to pick it back up with us against them is that an american
00:57:41.700
thing that we should be doing how do we how do we repair for the next race next the glenbeck program
00:57:54.280
this is the glenbeck program bill o'reilly from billoreilly.com uh is uh on with us he's on with
00:58:07.020
us every friday at this time just to go over the news of the week bill let me let me put two scenarios
00:58:12.140
in front of you and uh and have you help me uh understand where i'm going wrong first of all um
00:58:19.840
if the president was doing strategy is there the possibility when i was in uh roger ale's office
00:58:28.120
one time uh he said to me uh glen you you don't understand how to play the game and i said well i'm
00:58:35.260
not playing a game and he said i understand that but there is there are there are ways to do things
00:58:40.980
and he said for instance do you do you think that al sharpton surprises me and i said
00:58:49.100
i don't know and he said no al and i know each other and i know that i have to give him a pound
00:58:55.500
of flesh from time to time and uh then then he has to then you know we settle for a while and then
00:59:03.120
i need a pound of flesh from him and he gives it to me and we all have dinner and everything is fine
00:59:08.620
first question is there the chance that this between joe and mika and the and the administration
00:59:16.500
is kind of that game where they both think that they are going to win because there's obviously
00:59:24.040
a long time friendship between joe and mika and the president i mean we saw the way they were
00:59:32.100
helping him with the questions when he was doing a debate on msnbc uh and we've seen that they're
00:59:39.580
hanging out in his room they've gone to mar-a-lago he was one of the first people that knew about them
00:59:45.000
getting married is there a possibility that this is a stage show that we're seeing no why
00:59:52.740
um because it's all based on emotion as i said trump reacts emotionally to criticism
00:59:59.420
he doesn't like criticism he won't accept criticism even if it constructed you remember when i uh was
01:00:06.120
covering him in the campaign in the detroit debate the live debate um i went to him after the debate uh for
01:00:14.020
an interview and he said you needed a psychiatrist o'reilly and he was serious i mean and he may be
01:00:19.460
right but he was he was angry with me because i didn't do what he wanted me to do whatever that
01:00:25.680
was i don't even know um so he takes it all personally that's the trump side the other side
01:00:33.340
on uh brzezinski and uh scarborough is ratings okay it's right i agree with that right so they're
01:00:42.820
they're in business uh at msnbc and they know that hating trump is good for business so once that was
01:00:50.660
established they were told hate trump and trump sees that as a betrayal so that he's especially
01:00:58.800
angry with them because as you put accurately as you put it accurately once they were friends so
01:01:05.080
now they're not and and that's what happened okay so so what we have here is the media acting like the
01:01:11.840
media and doing uh their thing for ratings get it understand it not surprised by it we have a president
01:01:19.720
who takes everything very personal uh and reacts emotionally so next question uh what is it what
01:01:29.360
is the age that you have to be to be president is it 35 it's 35 isn't it yeah yes okay so why did the
01:01:37.660
founders say that you needed to be 35 years old to be president of the united states
01:01:41.220
because they wanted a level of maturity so help me out on this 35 years old you should be more mature
01:01:53.320
than they started it or she's bleeding from the face uh how how do we how do we as people um stop this
01:02:07.200
nonsense because the media is not helping they i take it at face value they want ratings so they're
01:02:13.980
not helping and sticking up for the american people which what they're supposed to do is the fourth estate
01:02:18.680
and the president is not mature enough to be president of the united states he's acting like
01:02:25.960
honestly my 13 year old son might act and that's an insult to my 13 year old son i would hope he would
01:02:31.720
act better than this how do we stop this bill you can't i mean you can't so it it's so what happened
01:02:41.940
was that the american people saw eight years of barack obama when you had a president who was passive
01:02:50.400
aggressive who very rarely lashed out but did things um that came out that were not good for the folks and
01:02:59.340
the folks said you know what we're going the other way we don't care if uh this is a flamboyant guy
01:03:05.920
who speaks his mind and tweets his mind we don't care because we believe we got hosed the last eight
01:03:12.740
years by this button down guy who uh was exactly opposite so it was an emotional vote for trump
01:03:19.900
so there's nothing you can do trump's not going to change he's 70 years old twice the age of the
01:03:24.880
presidential requirement he's always been that way he's always going to be that way okay so but
01:03:30.920
what i'm asking calculating that this is not going to hurt him with the folks right so he so that's no
01:03:36.880
different really than what the press is doing they're doing it for ratings he's doing it for votes and
01:03:41.580
popularity uh so he can be re-elected back i know there you go i know i know i know so here's the thing
01:03:48.980
you don't have to go to billoreilly.com for the analysis you just nailed it right so here's what
01:03:55.940
here's what i'm asking you because i don't need to understand i knew that i got that what i'm trying
01:04:02.900
to get to is how do we move forward as a country as parties and as human beings i have right now i have
01:04:12.340
people in my own on my own staff with the blaze that are in this stupid childish childish twitter war
01:04:20.220
and it is so stupid we're supposed to be serving our audience and they've got some i don't even know
01:04:28.980
all the details i just know that a bunch of people are in a twitter war and honestly i'm i'm at the point
01:04:35.600
where i'm going to come back and fire all of them because we have to serve the people get out of your
01:04:42.060
own space and serve the people who who is going to say that if not the president how do we get
01:04:50.520
our somebody happen under a trump administration or i'll submit under any of the people of the
01:04:58.200
democratic party that are lining up to run against him look i said at the beginning of this interview
01:05:02.520
we're talking about kate's law the country's in trouble and it is and and you know i admire you
01:05:07.900
in prager for having your town hall today in los angeles about civility and how people should be
01:05:12.620
able to talk to each other about opposing points of view i think that the more media people that do
01:05:17.220
that the better um the discourse will be but let's be realistic we're living in an age of hate
01:05:23.380
h-a-t-e hate and there's no counter to it because the press is not seeking the truth
01:05:29.420
look i could i could stay here for five hours with you and tell you how i've been attacked over
01:05:34.720
the past 20 years i know okay in brutal ways and so have you and so have you and it's not going to
01:05:42.680
stop because those attacks work they advance ideologues who have no conscience who are trying
01:05:50.160
to gain power they don't care if the country's damaged they don't care if people hate each other
01:05:55.240
they just want either money or power i have been here for a week in in mainly my days are in
01:06:02.760
hollywood i'm spending my my evenings having uh conversations with some of the most brilliant
01:06:08.520
people from silicon valley and uh again i did it last night with a with a guy at dinner with a guy who
01:06:14.640
has uh very little in common with me politically but he sounded exactly like me and said he was
01:06:22.720
concerned again about his side of the aisle and he said i'm just as concerned about my side of the
01:06:29.960
aisle as your side of the aisle we've got to stop this i think the american people are in a different
01:06:37.720
place than both the media and the trump advisors think we're in there is a group of people a large
01:06:45.100
group of people that just want to continue but there i believe is a larger group that if an adult
01:06:51.040
stood up and said knock it off that person would be listened to i'm not sure i'm not sure because
01:07:01.140
there isn't a uniformed way to communicate it's scattered it's balkanized it's all over the place
01:07:09.320
and if you look at the internet where the under 50s live americans under the age of 50 live if you
01:07:15.420
look at that the vicious vile garbage that is on every single commentary line is staggering
01:07:25.640
i can't flexibility in school i know parents are just as brutal as their children i know language
01:07:33.940
is coarsened women are just as bad as men now i mean i know it i know it look so but i can't tell
01:07:41.040
you how many people i can't tell you how many people who are not in the same camp anywhere close
01:07:48.500
to the same camp can't believe they're meeting with me kind of people no i know there are saying
01:07:54.900
to me are saying to me this week quote i can't even watch cnn anymore i just don't i don't believe
01:08:03.540
anybody wow there will be a backlash against certain media property if you can see it i can
01:08:11.060
see it because i follow the ratings you know since i left fox news ratings for fox have gone down
01:08:17.180
substantially yes all right and then you saw it you're going to see the other liberal networks
01:08:22.460
not last night because they'll all capitalize on this crazy tweet thing but they're going to go down
01:08:28.260
you're right but in the individual the american individual is is is now being taught that this
01:08:35.260
kind of hatred is acceptable yes it's acceptable all right and and that's a big big difference i'm a
01:08:42.360
historian i write history i know and not since the civil war not since the civil war has there been such
01:08:49.240
hatred um between and among americans and if this continues to play out this way there will be
01:08:55.620
another civil war let me ask you this i was really disappointed uh to read yesterday that greta van
01:09:02.360
sustern uh was fired um it seems to her surprise um because she had been told over and over again
01:09:11.600
you need more conflict and i never watched her show so i don't know what she was doing over there
01:09:17.660
but it it seems as though nbc is there was a there was some inkling that they might
01:09:25.440
be trying to come back and and and reduce some of the conflict i know that cnn is just is
01:09:32.440
is being told the people there are being told more conflict more conflict more conflict now greta is
01:09:39.360
being fired because she wouldn't follow that is there a chance that anyone on television will say
01:09:46.180
we're not we're going to go the other way no no because ratings are are gathered and greta wasn't
01:09:55.160
doing that well in the numbers and she didn't you know fulfill expectations so nbc moved her out for
01:10:01.480
another ideologue on the left um greta's not a real ideologue you know she's not and she's more of a
01:10:08.980
traditional interviewer so it was just a numbers game with with her and and then it gets back to
01:10:14.780
you know why people do what they do it's either power or money all right power or money and and
01:10:21.920
americans need to know that that that you got to think about who you're watching and who you're
01:10:27.600
electing bill o'reilly from billoreilly.com uh i've got really only a minute and and uh and i don't know
01:10:34.580
how you're going to be able to answer this in a minute but i'm going to give it try to give it a
01:10:37.760
chance when there is a society that has destroyed all of the role models they have taken all of the
01:10:44.900
traditional role models that you know moses and jesus really were the role models and everything we
01:10:50.860
built the west on when we have gotten rid of them and destroyed all role models and there is
01:10:56.580
no one modeling good behavior how does a society survive i don't know i mean i can't that's in a
01:11:04.420
minute i can't possibly answer that you know well your mandate is uh trying to bring people together
01:11:10.020
and trying to have intelligent discussions my mandate is seeking the truth all right we're
01:11:14.700
different uh but we're both trying to help the country in our own way um i don't care about money

i believe don imus may have hours to live uh he's going to be on with us here in a second but
01:14:36.040
there is something seriously wrong with don imus he's been nice in the last two emails to me
01:14:41.780
and it's disturbing uh and we'll talk to don imus about today's news and more next
01:15:13.180
so don imus is uh you know a radio icon uh a radio legend uh and any other word that i could come up
01:15:24.020
with that will make him sound really old um and been a hero of mine since i was a very very very little
01:15:31.680
child and uh uh having him as a and i use this in air quotes friend um has been really remarkable uh
01:15:42.800
because not only can he give a punch he can take a hard punch with all of that being said
01:15:49.660
don and i will exchange emails from time to time and there's rarely a nice word said in either direction
01:15:57.760
i'm very concerned about don because i asked him to be on the show yesterday
01:16:02.260
and he was his typical nasty self and then uh and then he he said how can my wife hear it i'm sorry
01:16:10.980
i i don't know and there was an apology and i thought wow that's maybe maybe that's a secretary
01:16:17.120
kind of writing for him then just a few minutes ago i get a picture of his new puppy dog that he got
01:16:25.880
yesterday and i thought to myself his death must be imminent he must be minutes away from death
01:16:34.300
if he is sending me a picture if i would have ever sent him a picture of my new puppy dog
01:16:40.780
minutes before we went on the air i can guarantee you i would have been beaten in the face for an hour
01:16:47.920
so we're gonna check if he's okay and if he is okay we're gonna beat him in the face
01:16:58.140
i will make a stand i will raise my voice i will hold your hand
01:17:05.780
because we are one i will beat my drum i have made my choice we will overcome
01:17:13.880
because we are one the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment
01:17:24.340
as if it is don imus let's say hello to don imus
01:17:42.040
between one of the great figures in the history of broadcasting
01:18:12.760
i'm very good don and i want to make sure that uh you understand that
01:18:16.980
i may be uh avoiding the language of mockery but
01:18:20.920
i encourage you to engage in the language of mockery
01:18:30.740
i'm okay until i got the picture of your cute little puppy dog
01:19:19.060
so i'm gonna hang out with glenn in the studio with him
01:19:25.660
we're definitely fat but we don't want to be glenn beck i'll tell you that
01:19:32.680
i may i may have to retract some of the urging for you to be
01:19:47.840
this is not the question that i had planned for you
01:19:58.640
she's she told you not to take any of the medicine for cancer
01:20:02.800
she gave you she gave you a diet that she just made up hoping that you would die before you burn through all the cash
01:20:12.780
uh... wyatt imus who goes to rice university big rodeo star here in texas he and my
01:20:20.880
he'll say dad that's why you don't have any friends because you're a prick
01:20:25.260
so no i no i don't know i mean i guess there's some people
01:20:36.280
well we don't hang out together because you know
01:20:41.080
i don't like to go to places where you have to wear a
01:20:44.040
sweater that was given to you by ellen degeneres but
01:20:46.520
that's a love when you're on fox you know you get there at the blackboard
01:20:53.840
those crazy eyes and you're darting all over the room
01:20:59.600
that was the greatest television ever i'm gonna tell you that now
01:21:02.820
you know i tell you don uh our emails between each other is started back in
01:21:10.460
those days and uh strangely i enjoyed all of them uh
01:21:14.940
while while you were telling me things just like that and i know
01:21:19.000
that you did watch the show every day uh and it was great come on man
01:21:23.880
yeah and you watched it for a different reason you watched it because
01:21:33.080
i think you're one i mean not to patronize you're one of the smartest
01:21:41.240
all that crying and going on and then one day you're this and next day you're
01:21:44.740
that and then you're apologizing for this i mean
01:21:48.400
i mean you know you're crazy come on you know i mean come on
01:21:59.620
amen so uh uh so don let's let's talk a little bit about uh uh what's happening
01:22:06.820
with joe and mika and uh the president what what's your take
01:22:31.540
he really is he's a coward and he's a punk he really is and i work with him now and he's
01:22:39.580
can i just hold on just just hold on for just a second i need i need time for the delay
01:22:46.780
what's the matter with the delay what are you on
01:22:50.040
we just know i'm i've had to edit you now live about three times
01:23:05.260
now someone i don't believe i believe she could have said about anything to
01:23:10.000
to me and i wouldn't have responded i don't think he should have either and i like him i voted for him
01:23:20.180
i thought he'd be a lot better president than he's been so far just
01:23:24.420
i don't i mean i just thought i thought well i don't know what i thought
01:23:28.280
so you know but here's the thing that boy's had a bunch of
01:23:35.180
could you imagine what he looks like in the morning
01:23:38.980
big old blousy white t-shirts and he sweats at night
01:23:42.180
and he gets up in the morning and got them big old blubber titties and
01:24:00.060
this is the funniest uh 20 minutes i've ever done on radio and i've had nothing to do with it
01:24:18.540
uh so so don where does the uh where does the country go from here how do we uh how do we stop
01:24:29.960
well that's a good i mean i hate it when i interview people say oh that's a great question
01:24:36.100
i said well if that's a great question why don't you give me a great answer
01:24:39.260
but i don't have one and i you know for the first time
01:24:43.080
that i can remember and all i can remember pretty much go back to wednesday
01:24:48.720
i don't know i mean i i he's kind of i mean it's all up to him he's not a dumb guy
01:24:57.080
and he's uh i mean he doesn't have a real education but he's got great instincts
01:25:02.040
he's got some pretty good ideas he's willing to
01:25:13.240
can sidetrack and he knows what the what the media is going to do there
01:25:17.540
we already know they're all against him i mean come on
01:25:23.480
and i don't see to answer your question where does the country go man i don't know
01:25:27.020
he's got it he's got to get himself together he's not going to be there
01:25:30.760
because they'll get rid of him they'll figure out a way
01:25:33.500
because there's a bunch of people that really run the country anyway if not him
01:25:38.000
and they'll figure out a way to get rid of him so
01:25:40.460
i hope they don't and i think he could i think he could be a true i really do
01:25:45.300
think he could be a terrific president but there's some
01:25:51.420
do what he's got to do suck it up just discipline to run the country
01:25:55.800
you've you've known him for a long time i mean at one point
01:26:11.400
you know i'm only three hours and 20 minutes away from you
01:26:18.520
yeah i would come there and stab you in the neck
01:26:20.940
so uh i do have to may i well i'm not going to ask your permission i'm just going to do it anyway
01:26:30.160
uh i got an uh i got an email from uh don and uh i just want to
01:26:35.960
let's see if i can read on the let's see there's a little picture of your puppy dog
01:26:56.260

01:28:21.060
as the attorney you're gonna have to hire if you don't
01:28:38.080
don i i remember now why we don't have you on the air very often
01:28:51.080
uh and actually the uh the first time we ever met
01:28:54.640
do you know it was it was in 19 i think it was 1983
01:29:32.640
yeah you did and it was a moving touching moment
01:31:18.500
sleeping on a mattress is the best way to try it
01:31:29.520
you'll get 50 dollars off the purchase of your mattress
01:32:19.060
i don't even know how much of that went on the air
01:32:29.780
i don't think we've ever had a funnier segment than that
01:34:10.000
he was looking for a more competitive time slot
01:34:12.680
that was a separate other failure of his radio show
01:34:32.280
until they can figure out how to do the third hour
01:34:58.400
holy cow it's going to take me days to recover from uh
