• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly, how you doing?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I'm okay. Busy morning with the Trump speech and all
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of that stuff. But I'm hanging in. How about you?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I'm good. President pretty much telling off the U.N., Setting
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: them straight, is it going to do any good? Those
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: guys didn't look like they were listening too carefully.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Every nation operates under its own interests, so it's hard
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to rally anybody to do anything. So I don't expect
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: there to be any big changes in NATO or other
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: nations around the world. They'll continue to operate the way
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: they've been operating. I think Donald Trump knows that. That
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: speech that he gave to the UN was basically for
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the American public. Say, look, we have accomplished an amazing
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: amount of things. He reels them off. CNN will now
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: go on the air and say, no, he's lying. You know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the merry-go-round just goes around and around. But his speech
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: today was basically tailored to rally Americans to keep him...
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: in power in the midterms.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but a big part of the speech, Iran is
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: clearly the bully of the Middle East, he said. Iran
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: is the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world, stopping
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: them once and for all. That's a no-brainer. What's the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: argument on that?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: There really isn't any cogent argument, but it's apathy. So
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: there are many nations in the world don't care. whether
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Iran's a chief sponsor of terrorism, as long as the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: terrorism doesn't come to their country. And then with the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: nuke thing, that's theoretical. So they go, well, you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: we don't know. And the left-wing American point of view
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: on Iran is that there was no imminent threat. Imminent.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Dreams like tomorrow. So people believe what they want to believe.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: You don't like Donald Trump, you're not going to like
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the speech, you're not going to like him no matter
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: what he does. But he is laying out a counterattack
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: for the midterms. But overseas, I don't expect Iceland to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: care about what they do in Tehran. They don't.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, but... Now, let's get to the press ban.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It makes sense. I understand what he's saying. But he's
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: never going to win that battle, is he? He's going
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to lose that.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: No, but he doesn't care whether he wins it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: He doesn't?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: He just wanted the statement.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And then the Trump administration saw what happened to the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: AP when they booted them out in February 25, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: nothing happened. So the AP sued... But the federal courts
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: just said, well, we'll get to it maybe in five years.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: And that's the system. So AP is still out on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the streets of D.C. roaming around. They can't go in.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: So Trump goes, hey, I'll do it to these three.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of my peers in the business
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: get angry at me because I wrote a column on
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Sunday on BillO'Reilly.com and said, look, chosen to win the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: spring course i got throw the first amendment on or
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: even called out uh... corruption against the press i saw
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: what the uh... springboard dot um... however you have to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: win or what to do is embarrasses people and he's
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: got enough ammo to do that i mean they suppress
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the news map such as the matter of misleading o'reilly
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and some old which It's impossible because we've been around
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: too long. But they suppress it. So the good economic
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: numbers that Trump cited today in his speech, lowest poverty rate,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: highest affluence rate, CNN didn't even report it. That's a
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: pretty big story, I think, to ignore, wouldn't you say?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Definitely, yeah. So he could go— He could go into
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: court and lay all those out, right? And lay out
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: all the fake.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: News they did broadcast. Yeah, but the judges themselves already know.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So they'll be sitting around. And what the discussion has
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to be is, we know that the American media is corrupt.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: We also know that Jefferson and Monroe and Benjamin Franklin,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: not Monroe, Madison, are And, uh, Benjamin Franklin didn't want
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to corrupt. They want an independent press. They want a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: fair press. And now we don't have one. So are
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: they still entitled to protections? And the answer is the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Supreme court will punt and say, yeah, that's my prediction.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Uh, Bill O'Reilly, uh, uh, president Trump meets with the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: mayor mom, Donnie, uh, um, I know he always thinks
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: he can win over everybody, he can charm everybody, but
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: what else do you think he was hoping to achieve there?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I think that was a play, and I have no
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: evidence to base this on. But I think that was
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a play to help Blakeman beat Hogle. So, Hogle's entire
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: campaign is Trump's the devil, and Blakeman is Satan number two,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: because he likes Trump. That's her whole campaign. So Trump
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: comes in and he portrays himself as a kind of
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: nice guy to Mandami and Mandami supporters hoping to carve
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: out a few anti-Trump votes. Well, he's not that bad.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good strategy or not.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think I would have done it because Mandami
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: is a devil to traditional Republicans. And to kind of
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: legitimize him, even though he is the mayor and he
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: won legitimately, okay, but to give him the status of
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a presidential visit for an hour, I don't know whether
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I would have done that. Yeah.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: So what is Mamdani's reason for meeting with Trump, who's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: supposed to be the devil to him?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: What's the downside for Mamdani? What does he do all day?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what he does. Hey, the president wants
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a command where we'll have little canopies. Okay. What's the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: downside for him? There's no downside for him. Now, you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: might say, well, maybe some of his supporters will get
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: angry that he's even in the same room as President Trump.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: But this is a low... The people behind Mandani, they're
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: not following the news very much. I'm... Hate to be condescending,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: but I believe it's true. So I think he just said, yeah,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I'll pick up some status points. This is Mandani. And
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: my people will forget about it three hours after it happened.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And as they walk through Gracie Mansion, you think the
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: president said to Mandani, you got to fix this place up.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Why not some gold on the walls? Let me give
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you the number of my gold guy.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Apparently, they're going to build a housing project. And again,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: why not cooperate with that? Yeah. So you'll remember during
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: COVID that President Trump cooperated with Andrew Cuomo. Yeah. Remember? Yeah.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And Cuomo's request was bring ships into the Hudson River.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So we can isolate the worst cases. And Trump did.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And how many people use the ships?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Nobody.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: No one. No one. Now, I don't know whether Cuomo
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: forgot about the ships or there weren't enough ambulances to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: get people to the ship. I don't know. The traffic
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: was too bad. But the federal government moved this flotilla up.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Because Cuomo wanted it, Andrew Cuomo, and nobody used it. Wow.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, we're almost out of time. The book, how's
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: the book doing? Bill O'Reilly's new book is fabulous. You've
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: got to read it, Confronting America.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that. We just reordered. When you
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: reorder books and, you know, lots of books, then you're
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: doing well. But it's a whole different game than it
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: used to be when I started the Killing series. Killing
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Lincoln was our... first. And now it's a special interest
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: who's buying the books. So I have to tailor my marketing,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: but I think it's a good book. I mean, if
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you really care about your country and you want problems
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to be solved, we solve them. Now, you can disagree,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and that's part of the fun of the book. You
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: can disagree, oh, this wouldn't work, or I don't think
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that's fair, or whatever. But the problems that we talk
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: about in Confronting America, Something Has to Change, are concerns
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to every one of us, because we have taken a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: turn now in this country. We've got a radical element
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: in this country. that we didn't have maybe five years ago.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: We got it now.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a great book. It takes you through the
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: last few decades. It shows you how we got to
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: where we are. You can order it right now. The
• 10:59
