I would be happy if we get a conservative IRS Commissioner and he systematically targets everyone in Hollywood who donated to the Clinton Foundation. That would only be fair.

O'REILLY: I want to know what you're saying. You're the leader of the country.
OBAMA: Absolutely.
O'REILLY: You're saying no corruption, none?
