eye thinking people
Almost everything I do is related to my ability to hire good people. I don't take much of the credit myself. I think I have a good eye.
jobs people rich
I love rich people. Any time I needed a job, I went to a rich person. I like poor people, but they never had a job for me.
als faces foxes
The candidates that can’t face Fox, can’t face al Qaeda.
views media bullshit
Most of the media bullshit you about who they are. We don’t. We’re not programming to conservatives, we’re just not eliminating their point of view.
philosophy fighting socialism
Capitalism works. In the end, socialism imploded on itself. Communism imploded on itself. Ultimately jihadism will implode on itself, if we stay in the fight and stay on offense because failed philosophies don't work, there's no future.
integrity people excellence
You can get people the qualifications; But you can't teach them the qualities they're going to need. You can't teach integrity, a drive for excellence, refusal to quit under pressure. It's too late to build that into people you're going to hire.
thinking people judgment
In general, I think man-on-the- street ads and endorsement spots are having less and less effect on people. The electorate's getting very sophisticated, and they want to make their own judgments.
eras opinion grew
I grew up in the era when Dan Rather hated Richard Nixon. He was a newsman, but you knew what his opinion was.
people might looks
The thing you always have to remember is, you look at people and they might look like a failure but there's often a narrow thing they do very well.
team winning air
I'm very confident in the management team, very confident in the on-air people. That's the whole secret to everything. It's having people who love to work where they're working and want to win.
doctors ugly fats
My doctor told me that I'm old, fat, and ugly, but none of those things is going to kill me immediately.
thinking decision made
I think the worst decision is usually no decision. If you make the wrong decision you can usually course-correct, but if you don't make it, you've already made it, and it's usually the bad one.
mistake fighting winning
Fighting with the media almost always is a mistake. You can't win the argument, the media has the last word, and most times your argument is not justified.
careers people success-in-life
People always describe my successes in life. My successes in life tend to be personal, not career.
