So who leaves Fox or other networks to work for the new Make America Great Again Channel? Dobbs and Hannity I'm guessing to start.
 
Trump called Condi Rice "a bitch" in 2006.

DONALD TRUMP sounded like he would fire Secretary of State Rice if he got the chance - calling her a "b----" last night during a speech in front of 8,000 people at the Javits Center. Trump, star of "The Apprentice" and a frequent critic of the Bush administration, unleashed his anger at Rice and outgoing Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld during a keynote address at the Learning Annex Real Estate & Wealth Expo. "Condoleezza Rice, she's a lovely woman, but I think she's a b----," Trump said to wild applause. "She goes around to other countries and other nations, negotiates with their leaders, comes back and nothing ever happens.
" Sounding more like a presidential candidate than a real estate mogul, Trump then set his sights on Rumsfeld. "You look at Rumsfeld and we spend $900 million a year, and arms and legs and lives are wasted," Trump said. "You look at all this and you ask what kind of government is this?
" Trump said he didn't attend last night's event to bash the White House, but added, "If you don't have smart people running the government, then good entrepreneurship will get you nowhere.
" Trump's comments were met mainly with cheers, but not everyone in the audience agreed with The Donald's harsh assessment of Rice, whose spokesman could not be reached last night. "It sounds like he's running for president," said Steve Felt, 39, of Maple Shade, N.J. "I was expecting the speech to be about how to get wealthy. I didn't expect a conservative like Trump to talk poorly about a conservative government.

Did anybody ever call Sean Hannity other than the folks from The Ringer?

So close to being able to call the channel MAGIC.

I wouldn't want to be the person who puts together the transcripts of her shows. You could put the words together in the correct sequence, but you couldn't make any sense of it and good luck with choosing the right punctuation.
 
I saw a while back on thefacebook.com that Sean had lost his phone and had a new number

Trump: Europe is terrific place for investment

Trump says Europe is a terrific place for investment -- he recently invested into building a golf course in Scotland.
Trump says Europe is a terrific place for investment -- he recently invested into building a golf course in Scotland.
Editor's note: Donald Trump is an American entrepreneur and one of the world's foremost investors. He is the Chairman and President of The Trump Organization. In this article, Trump discusses solutions to the global financial crisis and Europe as an investment opportunity.

(CNN) -- What has been made clear by current events and financial upheavals since 2008 is that the global economy has become truly that -- global.

The near meltdown we experienced a few years ago made it clear that our economic health depended on dependence on each other to do the right thing.

Davos 2013: New year, same old problems?

We are now closer to having an economic community in the best sense of the term -- we work with each other for the benefit of all.

I think we've all become aware of the fact that our cultures and economics are intertwined. It's a complex mosaic that cannot be approached with a simple formula for the correct pattern to emerge. In many ways, we are in unchartered waters.

The good news, in one respect, is that what is done affects us all. There won't be any winners or losers as this is not a competition. It's a time for working together for the best of all involved. Never before has the phrase "we're all in this together" had more resonance or relevance.

Quest: U.S. economy to dominate Davos 2013

My concern is that the negligence of a few will adversely affect the majority. I've long been a believer in the "look at the solution, not the problem" theory. In this case, the solution is clear. We will have to leave borders behind and go for global unity when it comes to financial stability.

Is this possible? Is this a new frontier? Yes and no. There is the fait accompli strategy -- stay under the radar -- and the passive aggressive strategy, acts of terror used to paralyze and so on -- so the bottom line must be balance. Rationality must rule. There are philosophical approaches to economics. However, at this point, we don't so much need philosophy as we need action. Which way to proceed is the question.

Defterios: Why Egypt's transition from its Arab Spring is so painful

You ask about Europe in crisis as an opportunity for investment. I see the world in crisis at the moment. I'm a firm believer that there are always opportunities whether the markets or up or down, but it requires insight and sometimes creativity to see those opportunities. I have no doubt that the balance we need will be achieved, but it won't happen overnight.

Europe is a tapestry that is dense, colorful and deserving of continued longevity and prosperity. There are many pieces that must be carefully fitted together in order to thrive.

Our challenge is to acknowledge those pieces and to see how they can form a whole that works together well without losing any cultural flavor in the process. It's a combination of preservation along with forward thinking.

Europe is a terrific place for investment. I am proud to have built a great golf course in Scotland after searching throughout Europe for five years for the right location. I've seen many beautiful places.

The future of Europe, as well as the United States, depends on a cohesive global economy. All of us must work toward together toward that very significant common goal.
