This was a big leak that WikiLeaks published, and it was hacking software developed by the CIA and the FBI that was able to leave fingerprints of other countries. So the CIA could hack our election to make it look like the Russians did it.

When there is this giant narrative, when there is a singular story out there like there is right now about the Russians hacking the election so that Donald Trump would win - when the media is pumping it and the Democrats are quoting the media and the media\'s quoting the Democrats and it\'s just like a giant blanket thrown all over the country - don\'t believe the story. It\'s made up! It is a . I call the daily soap opera.

I was told that I don\'t understand radio, should go into sales and all this. It was only my desire and love for what I wanted to do and what I was doing that kept me plugging away. I never at any time was motivated by an \"I\'ll show them\" attitude. Never was I motivated by, \"I\'ll show them,\" that wasn\'t it. I just loved it. It was what I wanted to do. I was lucky to learn early in life what I wanted to do, and I knew how to define success, even though by the time I\'m 33 I still hadn\'t had any. I was just on the verge of it, and I\'d been working since I was 16.

See, I am the mayor of Realville, and science is not up to a vote. It either is or isn\'t. Whatever it is, it is or isn\'t, but it\'s not up to a vote. Global warming doesn\'t exist because a \"consequences of scientists\" agree. Manmade global warming either is happening or it isn\'t, but it isn\'t up to a vote. But it is being presented to you as a consequences of scientists. Therefore, the science is not settled. Besides that, we all know that it\'s a hoax now. It\'s just some people don\'t want to accept that, but it is.

The Obama legacy is actually disastrous. It features lies, spying on Americans, spying on American reporters. Criminalizing, weaponizing the IRS against certain Americans. Lying to people about their health care plans and their doctors. Lying to people about the cost of health care. Lying to people about how great it was all gonna be. Lying to people about the stimulus, the impact. Lying about economy.

All of these promises and all of these votes to repeal Obamacare since 2010, now when senators have the power to actually do it, they don\'t do it, they can\'t do it. After all these promises, after all these times being elected on the basis of that promise, and yet they obviously don\'t fear the voters in their states nearly as much as they fear something else.

Note the energy with which the media is going after Donald Trump Jr. And there\'s a reason. They want to dirty him up. They want to destroy the guy before he gets started on his own political career. He has an obvious interest in politics. He knows his stuff - and he can sell it and he can be persuasive with it - and he is the exact kind of conservative they want to destroy before he gets started.

I don\'t know if Mika Brzezinski intended to be that honest. She\'s very worried the president intimidating the media is gonna lead to people believing what the president says instead of what the media says, and it\'s the media\'s job to control what people think. She used the word \"control.\" She worries that Donald Trump is acing them on this and her fear is rational, but her philosophy is off course, all wet.

If you draw the entire timeline of humanity from the time humans first trod until today, let\'s just assume that\'s 10 feet on a timeline. My time on that timeline is so small that you couldn\'t point it out. Let\'s say it\'s smaller than a grain of sand, in that whole 10-foot timeline of humanity. And when I lost my hearing, it happened to coincide with human technology advancing to the point that the cochlear implant existed. If I had lost my hearing five years earlier, I would have had to quit my job. I would have lost my career. I\'ve always been kind of in awe of that reality.

The country doesn\'t owe you anything because you\'re an American or especially because you have a college degree. Now, if you think... If you are a college student and you\'ve got a degree and you\'re out there and you can\'t find a job and if you think - if you agree with Obama that the Bush tax cuts ought to sunset - $700 billion ought to be taken out of the private sector and sent to Obama, then you deserve to be out of work for the rest of your life because that $700 billion taken out of the private sector could be used to grow businesses and hire people.

That\'s Donald Trump negotiating position. \"Okay. If we can\'t vote to repeal Obamacare, I\'m standing by and I\'m letting it die. I\'m letting it implode. I\'m gonna let it fail, and it\'s on the Democrats, and I\'ll make sure everybody knows it\'s on the Democrats. I am not gonna own this sucker. It isn\'t mine. I had nothing to do with it. I\'ve engaged in good-faith efforts to fix this and people aren\'t interested.\"

The media is terribly worried that Donald Trump is going to influence people. The media will tell you, I mean, crazy Mika, Ms. Brzezinski, actually said that she worries that Trump may actually end up controlling what people think on jobs and the economy. And it\'s not the president\'s job, it\'s the media\'s job to tell people, to determine people exactly what they think.

You\'re safer not believing what you read in the New York Times. I don\'t care what it\'s about, but certainly that you\'re safer not believing anywhere in the mainstream media the general thrust of this story, that the Russians wanted Donald Trump to win and hacked the Democrats and embarrassed John Podesta and Hillary Clinton and succeeded.

You look at Donald Trump and Ben Carson and you can see the people supporting them are small donors, the people I always call the ones who make the country work. Certainly not rich corporate CEO types, and these are not people that expect some sort of issue oriented payback. They\'re donating because of enthusiasm, ideas. The corporate donors are donating \'cause they want policy in return.

I\'m even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. Like you can major in the mating habits of the Australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... Okay, get a journalism major. Okay, education major, journalism major. Right. Philosophy major, right. Archeology major. I don\'t know, whatever it is. Major in ballroom dance, of course. It doesn\'t replace work. How about a major in film studies? How about a major in black studies? How about a major in women studies? How about a major in home ec? Oops, sorry! No such thing.

I hated being stuck at home doing the student thing. I always wanted to work. And there\'s nothing wrong with it. So you can take what you can get. And, you know, this, \'Well, that\'s beneath me. I have a degree.\' Put it aside for a while because reality is what it is. There are a lot of people having to do a lot of things that they think are beneath them right now because McDonald\'s is not open to make sure you don\'t starve. That\'s your job. Your responsibility to make sure you don\'t starve and your kids don\'t starve and all the rest of it.

Hillary Clinton lost because of who she is, because of her track record of failure, because there\'s no resume, there\'s no record of experience that she\'s good or qualified at anything. She cannot cite any achievements or accomplishments, other than traveling miles and being named after people she wasn\'t named after and being told to go join the dogs by somebody at the Marine Corps. She\'s exposed.

Every third our fourth generation that comes along refuses to accept the way their parents and grandparents are living. They just don\'t want any part of it, and Millennials are doing that in a way. The Millennials, you talk to a lot of their parents, and they don\'t recognize \'em when they compare them to themselves.

Cops, the law\'s the law. You see somebody break it, you\'ve got to be willing to enforce it. And doing that enhances the confrontational aspect of the whole circumstance. The more the confrontational aspect is ratcheted up the more danger is involved. It\'s gutsy work.

There are millions of people fed up with this daily diet of drivel from the Drive-By Media. But the media thinks everybody in America is waiting with bated breath for Trump to be convicted. They\'re totally, totally out of touch. The disconnect between everything going on in Washington and the real country has never been wider.

If Robert Mueller is gonna return after Russian\'s influence investigation and say, \"We looked at everything, and, I\'m sorry, there\'s just nothing here. We did find that Donad Trump flushed his toenails down the toilet in the Oval Office, but we don\'t think there\'s a crime there. Aside from that, nothing happened.\" The left would burn down the White House, unless the investigators are all Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama loyalists.

The American people, when had the chance, three times now have said \"no\" to Hillary Clinton. The Democrats did it in 2008. The Jill Stein recount this year and the American people in 2016. Three times in eight years the American people have looked at Hillary Clinton and said \"no.\"

Trump is an open book. You look at him and all you have to do is listen. He\'ll tell you who he is. He\'ll tell you what he thinks. He\'ll tell you what he\'s thinking about. He\'ll tweet it out, and it will be honest and from his heart.

Seventy-seven percent of the people that have given money to Bernie Sanders are people that have given less than 200 bucks. That\'s a lot of people, folks. That\'s a lot of enthusiasm.

I think the attitude needs to be: We need to defeat Liberals, defeat them, defeat them. Not accommodate them. Not try to persuade them. If they come along of their own volition, fine. We accept them. But they are the epitome of bigotry and prejudice.

Even though Donald Trump has won, even though Hillary Clinton has been vanquished, even though the left has suffered defeat after defeat after defeat, the Drive-By Media is still there, and they\'re still acting as they always do. They are setting the agenda. They are setting the narrative, establishing it, and they are determining what everybody talks about.

The federal government, state governments will not do without that tax revenue from tobacco no matter what. I\'ve always thought it was one of the most contradictory setups that we have, because everything said publicly about the product is intended to besmirch it, impugn it, and do the same thing to the people that use it. And yet here\'s the government scoring, I mean, you want to talk about obscene profits, the government doesn\'t do a damn thing but stick its hand in. The government taxes tobacco at every stage. It taxes tobacco when the farmer\'s thinking about planting it.

I thought, \"What the hell happened with James Comey ? Who did this? I mean, the only people clamoring for this are the Democrats! What the hell?\" My initial reaction was, \"Why do the Democrats get what they want in every damn one of these things?\" Then I had to stop and catch myself. It\'s not just the Democrats. This is the Washington establishment. As I looked at it, digested more, I started reading this universal love and admiration for Robert Mueller. And I started saying, \"Everybody\'s happy with this! This is the most acceptable outcome there could have been\".

Jeff Bezos is on his way to becoming the wealthiest American, and by giving away his product at much reduced prices to food stamp recipients, he\'s building a moat around his life to where the pitchforks and the barbarians will avoid him \'cause they\'ll think he\'s on their side.

Smokers in our culture are hated and despised. Smokers, people look down on \'em, don\'t want anything to do with them. Smokers are really the modern incarnation of evil, and yet smokers, because of all the taxes they are paying, are funding most of the children\'s health care programs the federal government has.
