So after the President Trump gave his press conference yesterday, I asked my staff,
look, monetary action, such as any change from CNN, MSNBC, the network news, no change.
Headline, Trump doesn't rule out using military force against Panama.
Okay. And we explained this yesterday. I'll explain it again. In every negotiation he's ever done. And if you, I chronicle it in the United States of Trump, he opens with a hand grenade, boom, to try to throw the other side off. And he says outrageous stuff. Like Canada's going to be the 51st state, whatever it may be. Okay. That's just a negotiating ploy.
that's not your lead.
If you look at the four years that Donald Trump
was in Oval Office, he didn't start any military action.
He wiped out ISIS because we had to.
But he wasn't invading anywhere, doing anything.
All of this is hyperbole.
That's what he does.
You may not like it.
You may have voted against him because he does it.
But they're not going to change.
He'll get a deal.
in Canada, probably in Greenland, and I know he'll get a deal in Panama to lower the costs
and to get those Chinese people out of there.
I'm not going to invade anywhere, but not the press.
Whoa, no, oh, they're going to put it on.
Oh, God.
All right, two sound bites from CNN. CNN's ratings are so low, historically low.
Okay, I don't know how much longer they can function.
Nobody watches him.
So I said, you know, maybe they'll moderate a little.
One of their main anchors is Caitlin Collins.
She's also the Chief White House correspondent.
This is what she said.
But I do want to say one of the biggest things that stood out to me from that press conference,
from moments when Trump got out there before we even started taking questions,
is the level of anger.
He's really agitated.
Well, we know why.
He made it quite clear a few moments in.
It's two things.
It's his legal issues overall.
But it's the sentencing that he is facing on Friday that so far is still.
Judge Mershahn has denied efforts to delay it?
Now, I watched that press conference.
He didn't seem angry to me.
And if I'm wrong, if you thought he was angry,
bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name and town.
Bill at bill o'Reilly.com.
I didn't see him as I saw he was annoyed
as any human being would be.
All right, but angry?
I thought he was very polite to the reporters
and he was very deliberate in the way he spoke.
I don't see any anger, but I could be wrong.
Maybe I wasn't watching it closely enough.
So set me straight.
Second soundbite I'm going to play with CNN
is their chief national correspondent.
I'm a guy named John King, who hates Trump.
And he's not going to stop hating Trump.
Go.
But there are a lot of lies in there.
That was a trailer.
That was an hour-long trailer for the next.
four years, in that he tells a lot of lies. He hedges, he exaggerates and hypes a lot of things.
But he also made a ton of news there. You're right about the idea that it's posturing,
but the idea that he couldn't rule out using either economic leverage or military force to take
Greenland and the Panama Canal. He says he's going to rename the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of
America. Canada, our closest friend in the world, our neighbor to the north, a giant economic
partner is in the middle of a political crisis right now and he just poured kerosene okay the lies thing
is you know you're going to continue to hear that so king look he's entitled to his opinion
they're paying him for that analysis making a good buck but he's totally off it all right so
trump sends don junior to greenland okay i think greenland basically said look whatever deal you
want, Mr. President, we'll give it to you if you take Don Jr. home. Okay. I mean, come on. We're going to
spend forces to Greenland. And these people should know better. Maybe they don't. Maybe they're
just dumb as a stump. Maybe I doubt it. I've talked to Ms. Collins. She's very smart for a young
woman, I don't know King, but it's absurd. And no matter how low the ratings go, it's not going
to change. I don't think they should be thawting over Trump, but just put stuff into perspective.
The goal of the corporate media now, the anti-Trump media, which is 90% of it, except for Fox
and Newsmax, is to create hysteria in this country about Donald Trump. So I think it made me CNN,
do a little bit more moving into the center, no. They call him a historian. Yeah, okay.
His name is Tim Naftelli. And Tim hates Trump. Hates him, is what he said yesterday.
I just want to make a point about how the world is watching this. No, there are a number of foreign
leaders that came to this inauguration, which was itself unusual. He also invited that the president did,
invited leaders of foreign, conservative, far-right governments.
In a sense, we had the far-right Internacional representative at the inauguration.
So what all Tim didn't tell you is that Donald Trump invited the Chinese communists.
That's pretty far away from far right, isn't it?
It was so, you know, CNN, Jake Tapper and Daniel D.
These two, Abbott and Costello. Remember Abbott and Costello?
One of the funniest movies ever is Abbott and Costello meets Frankenstein.
Anyway, this is Abbott and Costello.
Dale is supposedly allegedly a CNN fact checker
and Tapper is one of the biggest propagandists ever to work in the national media.
Roll it.
Let's bring in Daniel Dale.
And Daniel Dale, I know there's a lot of familiar lies that we're just told,
just told, but bring us up to speed on what you think the biggest ones were.
There were a bunch, Jake.
Yeah, there were a bunch, right?
There's a familiar lives.
It's just now when I see, I get the ratings for everybody, every day, and I just look at
CNN, and it's, you would have eyewitness news, Green Bay, Wisconsin has more viewers
CNN nationwide.
I mean, this is crazy.
I'm making an exaggeration here, but it's close.
And that's why.
Finally, Van Jones, right on.
Go.
Look, I was prepared for shock and awe.
This is just shock and awful as far as I'm concerned.
I mean, if David is 100% right,
this could be interpreted by some people
as a green light for right wing political violence.
Yeah, by some people, what, in the insane insolums there, Van?
I don't know anybody who says, hey, yeah, Donald Trump wants that violence.
CNN, look, I don't relish their failure.
I don't.
MSNBC, I do.
I have to admit it.
They're worse.
But CNN, you're going down a drain.
You've got to have a meeting or a conference or something.
I don't know if it's worth saving at this point, but my God.
Trump has fired 17 inspectors general.
Hysteria in the left-wing media, right?
Okay.
You know how many inspectors generals there are in a federal government?
73.
Anybody report that?
I didn't hear it.
In fact, I had to ask my producer, how many Inspector Generals are there?
I didn't even have it on my initial research, because nobody reported it.
He's 17 are out out of 73.
Does that seem unreasonable to you?
Now, I don't know why they're out, but I can assume it's because they're loons, right?
Isn't it apparent that Donald Trump does not want far-left people in the federal government?
I think that's apparent.
When talk about President Trump creating even more chaos, it amuses him.
It's fun.
It may not be good for the country.
I'd moderate it a little bit, but I understand 100% what President Trump is doing with the shock and awe.
So he's coming in, he's going, look, last time around, the swamp got me.
the first term, I'm going to get the swamp. And I'm going to get them fast. So we have two
things today. The first was executive order about trans women who were born men
competing on an athletic field with gender-born females. And Trump goes down. Not happening.
executive order.
Quote, the order will establish mandates on sex and sports policy,
direct federal agencies, including the Department of Justice,
deterper federal Title IX rules,
as for prohibiting the participation of transgender girls and women in female sports categories, unquote.
Okay. Now, what can the feds do? If you're a private school, they can't do anything.
But if you're a public school and you receive any kind of federal money at all,
Fed's come in and shut the money down, and if you're in violation of the executive order,
you could get prosecuted if you're a principal and you allow it.
That's not going to happen, but it could.
So everybody, oh, you know, the media.
Well, Trump promised to do it.
Roll the tape.
And we will get critical race theory.
transgender insanity the hell out of our schools.
And always remember, this is so easy.
This will be done tomorrow.
We will keep men out of women's sports.
It's over.
So why is anybody surprised?
Now, there's no downside.
for Trump. None. Look at this poll, New York Times poll. All right? Here's a question.
Thinking about transgender female athletes, meaning athletes who were male at birth, but who currently
identifies female, do you think they should or should not be allowed to compete in women's sports?
Should be allowed? 18%. Should not 79%. Common sense says it's wrong. It's wrong.
And 80% of the American people, and that includes, of course, liberal and some far left people.
They know.
So Trump, there's no downside, except in the media, go, ooh.
President Trump provoking his enemies.
Now, keep my phrase in mind, provoking his enemies.
I spoke with President Trump personally about his Gaza vision.
And it was very interesting.
And I don't think it's going to happen because there are too many people in the Middle East who don't want any solutions.
They make money or they gain power off the Jews and the Palestinians and other Arabs hating each other.
Okay, it's an industry.
But Donald Trump, it seemed to me, had a pretty benign vision of what could happen.
And I'll just go over it real quick because you've heard it all.
So he said, look, when you have 2.2 million people without water, without electricity,
or coming back to rat-infested rubble, they're not going to prosper.
Okay, number one, that's true, right?
Across the board, how can you argue with that?
Number two, the only way to reverse that is to rebuild Gaza.
because the real estate on the Mediterranean Sea is very valuable
and could, with security and foresight, be a prosperous place.
That's two.
Two that you cannot argue with.
But in order for that to happen,
that you would have to move the 2.2 for a period of time
into some safe areas in the Middle East.
Okay, right?
Can't have them.
right in the middle of a demolition derby.
Now, is it going to happen?
No.
Is the United States going to take over Gaza?
No.
But the way that Donald Trump puts it gives his enemies adjata.
He goes, yeah, the United States are going,
because the United States could very well supervise this.
We couldn't do it.
have to be done locally, but we could certainly supervise and organize Europe, Middle East
countries to all pitch in and help. We could organize that. So what is wrong with President
Trump's vision? Nothing. He's being benign. I'd like to get Pope Francis on the phone. I think
Pope Francis, go, yeah, it sounds like a good idea to me.
Let's alleviate a little suffering.
Then all of a sudden, it's ethnic cleansing.
It's imperialism because of our dishonest media
and the Democratic Party, which is off the chart, stupid.
And I talked about that with Hannity on this radio show today.
It's on billowellowellie.com.
The Democratic Party is now beyond anything rational.
It's into moronic gibberish.
And I'm not a party guy and I don't think the Republicans are geniuses.
Okay? I'm a registered independent. All right.
Now I'm going to back up what I just said.
Okay? First thing is Donald Trump's initial foray into Gaza.
Go.
The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too.
We'll own it and be responsible for just
dismantling all of the dangerous, unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,
level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out,
create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.
Do a real job, do something different.
Now, as soon as Trump said, we'll take it over, then the nuts come out of the woodwork.
They don't listen to the whole thing.
Okay, so let's run two really insane reactions.
Go.
It is horrific.
It is the definition of ethnic cleansing.
It is part of the culmination of what I view to be genocide of the Palestinian people.
And this is genuinely one of the most horrific humanitarian catastrophes that we've seen in modern history.
In the search for solutions,
We must not make the problem worse.
It is vital to stay true to the bedrock of international law.
It is essential to avoid any form of ethnic cleansing.
Now, the last guy is the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Gutierrez.
He's a moron.
I'm sorry for the personal attack.
But what else?
How else am I going to describe a man?
How else?
There's no other word.
So, you know, bedrock of international law.
There's no international law in Gaza.
Hamas runs it.
Okay?
And ethnic cleansing, they both, Ocasio Cortez, who's just beyond the pale.
And I don't even have to describe.
Heard a year, you know.
But this guy, Gutierrez, he's the U.N. Secretary General.
I mean, come, it's just, it's almost like fifth grade, fourth grade.
You're looking at them going, oh, okay, you know, maybe mommy will pick you up after school.
All right, the final sound by, Democratic Party.
I don't know.
I don't know if they can ever come back in the next 10 years.
So this is Ruben Gallego, the senator, Democratic senator from Arizona.
it. Go. Trump's position on Gaza is absolutely dumb, stupid, and illegal. And the United States
will not be invading Gaza. We will not be occupying Gaza. And for the Republican Party and Trump
to run as the anti-war candidates to suddenly ask for war, you know, shows you the level of
hypocrisy and or lack of leadership that is occurring at the White House. So that guy, we're going
to invite him on a program next week. He won't come on. The guy, what's your solution? I'd love
ask a senator, what's your solution to it?
Putting Trump aside,
you're in charge,
Gaza, you, what do you do?
I can tell you with a hundred percent certainty
he has not one
thought about it because he doesn't
know what it is. He doesn't particularly
care what it is.
He uses Gaza to bash
Trump.
So anyway,
I'm not again, I was going to run
an MSNBC soundbite.
I'm not even going to do it.
If you were watching them or you have any emotion invested in any of those people, then
it, I can't help you.
I can't.
Republicans all love those.
Okay, got to cut wasteful spending, got to slim down a government.
Democrats know where we, nope.
Now, the Democrats don't go, we want wasteful spending.
They can't say that.
Would they oppose any kind of oversight at all?
And if you want to bring down the federal government, oh, no, we can't let anybody go.
Roll a tape.
Yes, they work hard.
Yes, they play by the rules.
Yes, they love their country.
Yes, they cherish their faith.
And yes, they want a fair shot.
What we're seeing coming out of Washington is anything but that.
Every time you hear Doge, the Department of Government Efficiency, you just remember it is the Department of Government evil.
Yeah, it's evil. Oh, that's right. We can't cut any jobs. Can't stop any of the out of control spending.
We got to get more debt. 37 trillion is not enough. It's evil. Let's stop that. You think I'm exaggerating? I'm not.
100% of it is behind keeping the status quo, running up trillions of dollars of debt.
They don't want any reform.
So Trump comes in, and as I said to Hannity on his radio show, which we posted on Bill O'Reilly.com,
if Trump did this on purpose, okay, throughout all of these executive orders and Musk and all of that, just to drive.
the Democratic Party and the hate Trump movement insane.
If he did it on purpose, by design, he's a genius.
Because that's what's happening.
Donald Trump is driving his opposition literally crazy.
Because the American people are not ideological, generally speaking.
They don't want what the Wall Street Journal writer called today a slush fund
for progressive causes with our tax money.
That's insulting to us.
I work hard for my money.
Do I want it going to the Taliban to buy condoms?
No.
Oh, it's evil.
And, oh, no, oversight.
Don't lay off anybody.
Insane.
Now, they hate Alon Musk because Alon Musk is allied with Trump.
They don't know anything about Elon Musk.
The guy puts out electric cars.
That's good for global warming, right?
The left should love him.
We love my lot.
He said, oh, electric cars.
Yay!
No, no pollutants.
Right?
No.
Hate him.
The new strategy from the corporate media against Donald Trump.
Everything that Donald Trump does is evil.
That's the new strategy.
Okay, it used to be he's a clown, he was incompetent, he's a hypocrite, he's it, now he's evil.
And that's what you're going to get from here on out.
And when I was on Hannity's radio program today, I tried to get across to Hannity that the Trump people, including Elon Musk, have got to understand the war that is taking place.
And I don't believe they do.
I don't think that Donald Trump and Elon Musk understand what is happening as far as the presentation of information.
So clearly, if you are fair and have an IQ over 50, you know that Trump is criticizing Ukraine and Zelensky for poor negotiating before the war started.
Again, I'm not endorsing that.
I don't know enough.
But that's Trump's point of view.
Enter the media, who then take what Trump said and characterize it this way.
Roll it.
Tonight, President Trump parroting Russian propaganda as he falsely accuses Ukraine of starting
the war, which began almost three years ago, when Vladimir
Putin's troops invaded Ukraine.
Still to come tonight after extraordinary sacrifice and bloodshed to save their country, Ukraine today, President Trump blamed them for starting the war.
Coming up on Cedar this morning, placing the blame on Ukraine.
Ukraine invaded by Russia. President Trump falsely claiming, though, that Ukraine started the war.
Disgraceful. And Wolf Blitzer has been around long enough to know what he said wasn't true out of context, but he just does what he's told.
So does Cooper and so does the other guy.
That's it.
And it's destroyed Trump.
Trump is evil.
When I'm watching, my anger level goes through the roof.
Because I know how dishonest.
I don't like dishonest people.
I don't like them.
I don't care where they are.
It was so, no context whatsoever.
Falsely accused of that.
Damn, what I'm that blaming you.
So the Wall Street Journal excoriates Trump today on the editorial page saying, look, he's trying
to mainstream this villain.
It's true, he is.
But Trump doesn't believe that this guy is noble, Putin.
He just wants the deal.
And that's part of the process.
He doesn't want to make Putin his personal enemy, Trump.
It's how he negotiates.
Anyway, the media will never tell you the truth, ever about anything involving Donald
Trump.
That's dangerous because it's not just us, it's the whole world.
CNN goes worldwide.
So, the media's reaction was negative to the deal because everything Donald Trump does is bad.
Here are the outlets that criticized Trump over the Mineral Deal.
CNN, ABC News, New York Times, LA Times, MSNBC, Washington Post, Daily Mail, BBC, New York Post editorial board, Financial Times, and Forbes.
That's just a partial list, okay?
And I just play one far left crank.
Go.
But the Trump alternative is a kind of almost gangsterism.
I mean, today we've got this news about the mineral deal, right?
Like, what's in it for me?
What's in it for us?
Give us your mineral.
Give us your treasure or we won't protect you.
That's not what the deal says.
So, I mean, look, I'll deal with MSNBC a little bit later on.
But if you guys, nobody's watching, and I understand.
Now, on News Nation, there was a balanced approach, go.
Suddenly, the United States has a stake in Ukraine surviving as a nation, and given that the war aim, repeatedly announced by Putin, is the extinguishment of the state of Ukraine, this might also be a win for Ukraine.
Of course, it's a win for Ukraine. They're in business with us.
Come on. So, that's the way to report it fairly.
I mean, you, maybe it won't work out.
Maybe Putin won't give a hoot.
I don't know.
But Trump is at least trying.
Okay, he's playing a chess game with Putin.
Now, there is a war between the president and the American press.
You know, we've been over this.
I think we have the best reportage.
And I talked about this on Hannity's radio program.
This is fascinating.
and I hope you listen to it on Bill O'Reilly.com, because we have it posted.
So I disagree with Hannity.
Hannity says that Trump is not trying to seek retribution against the U.S. media.
No, he is.
And Hannity makes his argument.
I make mine.
You can decide who's stronger.
Okay.
He absolutely is.
Trump wants to punish the corrupt American media.
And in my, it's so obvious, okay?
But I'm glad how to disagree
because that makes a better debate.
It makes a better debate.
So today, on true social, here's what Trump says.
Quote, as a president who's being given credit
for having the best opening month
of any president in history, quite naturally,
here come the fake books and stories
with the so-called anonymous or off-the-record quotes.
At some point, I'm going to sue some of these
dishonest authors and book publishers
or even media in general, find out whether or not these anonymous sources even exist,
which they largely do not, unquote.
Now, Trump has already sued ABC, Disney, and he won $17 million for his library.
CBS, 60 Minutes for the Kamala Harris interview, they'll settle with Trump.
And he's got a couple of other lawsuits in play against media operations.
He booted the AP, not giving them access, direct access to him, and on and on and on.
And this is no accident, okay, because all of these media outlets have tried to hurt him.
And now he's the most powerful man in the world, and he's saying, hey, payback time.
It's exactly what's happening.
Is it wrong?
No.
As I told Hannity, if the president sees him.
corruption in the country, whether it, no matter where it is, if you're the president and you
see it, you got to try to do something about it. You're the president. Simple as that, I do it.
