• 0:13

• 0:33
  Speaker 2: stuff there. Everything's at BillOReilly.com. Bill O'Reilly, how you doing?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I'm dizzy. I have so much work. It's unbelievable. At
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: my age, I should be in a golf cart zipping
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: around the villages. Okay? But nope. I'm fulfilling my obligations.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: How are you, Simone?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I'm good. Hey, now, you were spotted at the White
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: House meeting with President Trump. What was that all about?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got summoned, and it's always good to see
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the White House. Been there under three presidents. You know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: it's amazing coming from Levittown. I thought I would even
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: get to Washington, D.C., much less inside the Oval Office.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: But in a conversation with the president and Secretary of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: State Marco Rubio about Iran, and they asked my opinion.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I gave it to them, as I always do. No spin.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: And I think something's going to happen there. But I've
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: been saying that for a while, so I'm not sure
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: how much credibility I have on the issue.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: You mean something... Before the midterms or after the midterms?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't do the president any good after the midterms,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: politically speaking. So, you know, you've got this terror nation
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: who is basically giving us the finger and saying, we're
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: going to do what we want. They just withdrew from
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the U.N. nuclear treaty. I mean, they're doing everything they
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: can to disrupt the world. Now, the world doesn't care
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: or is too cowardly or whatever it may be, but
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: we fell into this because the Trump administration believed they'd
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: knock Iran out quickly, and that has not happened. But
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: now I think they need to be punished, and I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: suggested knocking out the airport, knocking out all of their
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: ability to ship anything anywhere. And that's pretty much all
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: we can do unless we want to kill civilians, which
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the president does not want to do. Now, the other party,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, wants to surrender to Iran. That's just
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: an outrage. We can't surrender to these barbarians. I mean,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: tomorrow is the anniversary of October 7th. You know that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And who was behind that Hamas attack in Israel? Iran. So,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: which was a surrender to these people? No, that's insane.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Even though you're paying more for gas and food, we
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: just cannot do that and maintain credibility all over the world.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, if we pulled out of there and didn't
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: get anything out of this, Oh boy, would that be
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: a disaster?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, that's a good point. Uh, Hey, uh, Bill O'Reilly.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So you were in the, uh, oval office. You've been
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: there many times, different presidents. So, uh, be honest. The, uh,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Current decor of the Oval Office, the decorating job there,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: it's a little Liberace-ish.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Isn't it? Good line. Good line. I think Liberace would
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: be comfortable, but they've slimmed it down a little bit.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, good.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it got to the point now where they were
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: having antique shows, but now they've slimmed it down. And
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it's magnificent. It really is. And, you know, you get there,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and I've been all over the White House, and President
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Obama took me up to the Lincoln Bedroom and showed
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: me the Gettysburg Address. I mean, it's just staggering for
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a person like me who is closely allied with my country,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: not a political party, but with my country itself. It's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a magnificent building, and it's a privilege for me to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: be invited to go there.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Now, when it comes to Donald Trump, you know him
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: better than anybody. You literally wrote the book on him.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: If you study his career, he keeps getting bigger and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: bigger and bigger. He kept growing and getting bigger and bigger.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: When he leaves the Oval Office, when he leaves the presidency,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: he won't be able to do that anymore. What else
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: can he do in life? It's going to be tough
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: for him. He can't grow anymore.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's going to launch a television network
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of some kind or media something. That's where I see
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: him going. I could be wrong on it, but he's
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: not going to be sitting around, uh, going to the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Poconos every weekend. I mean, that's not going to be happening.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So he's got, uh, a lot of real estate all
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: over the world. You would assume that he will keep
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: up with that. Um, but he's enamored with the media. And, uh,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I think there's a Trump channel now. Nobody knows where
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to find it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: expands on that. Yeah.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Um, Hey, a midterm elections, uh, The Republicans are a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: little behind, but that's not bad, as long as you've
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: got momentum. Can he pull a rabbit out of his
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: hat again this time?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's certainly, if you look at the races individually,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the Republicans aren't that far behind, as you pointed out.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And if the president can get some kind of action
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: going against Iran and convince the American oil companies... to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: take maybe 200% profit a quarter, not 300%. 300% profit
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: on these things. Come on. And so if you can
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: get that and people see that there is an improvement happening,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: then the Republicans will surprise. Because I don't know anybody
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in my circle who wants these radicals to have power.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Do you know anybody? I don't know anybody. And I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: know thousands of people. I don't know anybody who wants
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: these radicals to take over. That's why Hochul's having so
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: much trouble. She's trying to brand Blakeman as Trump-lite and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: all that. But what else does Hochul have? What has
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: she done for the state other than raise taxes and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: make it incredibly difficult for working people to live here?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm waiting for anything, madam. Give me anything.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And so the rational voter, responsible voter goes, oh, I mean,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I like Trump. I mean, I like Blakeman. I don't
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: like this style. I don't know what to do. But
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: is this what you want? Is that what you want?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And the kicker is when I'm doing my debates with
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Cuomo and News Nation or whatever, the people who see
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: it another way, I always ask them, well, what is
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party's plan to drop prices? There is no plan.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: There's no plan. They don't have anything. Zero. Now, the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Republicans don't have anything either. But if the Democratic Party
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: gets power, you're going to see a real fierce movement
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: towards socialism. You know, I don't know whether you noticed
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the riots in France last week with the students burning
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: down all the schools and all that. Yeah. Did you
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: see it? Yeah. It was nasty. That's coming here. That's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: coming here. Because these radical leftists, there's no restraint on
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: them now, particularly if the Democratic Party wins and gets power.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Who's going to restrain them? Chuck Schumer? I mean, I'm
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: saying you can't surrender to terrorists in Iran and you
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: can't elect a party that is going to give you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Abdul Al-Sayed. Is that what you want? And most people
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: just walk away from that debate. They don't engage because
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: they know I'm right.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: If the Democrats lose, are they going to then go
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: totally nuts, even crazier, erratic, or are they going to
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: smarten up and clean up their party?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know about, you know, I don't follow either party,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the internal. There's no leadership in the Democratic Party at all.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: So that's a big vacuum there. So Schumer would be
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: maintaining his position as the leader of the Senate. Schumer's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: not going to do jack. Okay, he's going to sit
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: there until he retires. And once AOC announces that she's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: going to run for the Senate, that's when Schumer will
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: hang it up. So you're not going to get any reform.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party, even if they get whacked, because
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: there's nobody at the top of it to steer that reform.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: On the Republican side, two years of Donald Trump. When
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he leaves, it's a free-for-all. In the meeting that I
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: went to last week in the Oval Office, Secretary of
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: State Rubio was in the meeting. It was the President, Rubio,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and me. And I was impressed. by Rubio. I have
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to tell you. He's got a good grasp of the world,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and he's got a very calm demeanor. I'm not endorsing
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: anybody anywhere, but in the past, I know him a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: little bit, but I hadn't spent as much time as
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I did on Wednesday.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Interesting. Hey, we're out of time, but... I want to
• 10:20
