“I want to wish you a Happy New Year. I think we’re going to have a great year, that’s first and foremost. As for the past year, we had the best ratings we’ve ever had — Fox and me — that’s because of you, Mr. And Mrs. America. We’re very grateful and blessed to have you, and I’m blessed to be here. I also want to thank the President of the United States, when you look at Central and South America, when you look at the Middle East, when you look at how NATO is stronger and his efforts, with respect to Russia and the Ukraine and so forth, peace through strength. This is a serious statesman, a historic figure, no pacifist, appeaser, isolationist. He is the man of the moment.”
