• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the Sixty Minutes. Steve Kroft, Yeah, that should be an
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: interesting conversation. He's an old time reporter, like I came
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: up the traditional way. He was Obama's go to guy.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: You may remember on sixty Minutes. Knew all the legends,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Mike Wallace and Hewett and all those guys, and you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: know CBS in the news now a lot of changes
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: going on. I'm looking forward to that chat.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: You used to work there at CBS News, and back
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: then it was a kind of a rational, sane place,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: wasn't it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it always intense. I worked for Channel
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: two for two years with Jim Jensen and Ron Smith
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and Warner wool for all those guys, and then I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: got promoted to the National news Dan Rather, who not
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: particularly fond of and covered the wars in Central America
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and the Falklands, things like that. So I was busy there,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But it was I would say it was a traditional
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: place with problems.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well but compared to today's CBS News a little
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: more normal. You think they'll ever get these networks back
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to normal?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: No, it's too expensive. You know. Back when I was there,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: we used to whip around the world first class airfare
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and best hotels and you were like James Bond. Now
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: it's Motel six and it is that Jet Blue on
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: time And the answer is no.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Well, but that's every business, that's most businesses.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but when you were attasked to really
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: do an honest shop covering the news and you don't,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: then there's a problem. And CBS has really gone down.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Now they try to bring it back, and I give
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: them credit for that. I don't know whether it will
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: work or not.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Now, Bill O'Reilly, the great historian, listeners calling in questions
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: for you. Ronald Reagan re election wins forty nine states, unbelievable.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: But what was what was the most successful election ever?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Nobody ever won? Fifty? Did they?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Washington? Nobody dissented? Yeah, and he could have been King
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of America talking about no kings, they could have been
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Washington could have been the king. Boy, they loved him,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and rightly so. There were other landslides, but Reagan wiped
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: out Jimmy Carter because Carter was so inefficient on a
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: par with Joe Biden. You know, Biden was worse because
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of the border. But boy, oh boy, they were both terrible,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and there's been a lot of terrible presidents, but these
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: two were really, really in the forefront of modern times.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Now, Bill, righty, would you give some advice to the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Democrats they want to go after Trump. The kids seem
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: to put their finger on what it is that's bothering them.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: He's not a king. This no king's made no sense.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the problem, because no King's demonstration was really
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: a no solutions demonstration, That's what it was. So we
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: don't like chop okay, I understand, and discent is fine,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and it's a strength of our country. We should be
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: able to protest and responsibly. But if you're gonna hate
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the guy and think he's the worst, then what do
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you have that's better? So the best example is that,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: according to just about every nuclear expert in the world,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Iran was very close to enriching uranium to the level
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: where it could have manufactured a knew very quickly. Well,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: what's the Democratic Party's solution to that? Nothing? Nothing? And
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: what's your solution to controlling immigration? We'll let them all in.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Give him amnesty. And that's Trump's strongest card going into
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the midterms. So you may not like them, and you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: may not support the Youran war, although if you don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: support it, you really should have a reason. Not just
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I hate Trump Trump's war, but what are you replacing
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Trump with? What is a Democratic Congress is going to deliver?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It's going to deliver higher taxes, It's going to try
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to get amnesty for all the millions of a document
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that people that are here, with some exceptions, but you
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: really have to be a miscreant for the Democrats that
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: turn on you. If you're an illegal alien, you really
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: got to be bad. So Trump is on, Okay, is
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: this what you want? And that's why the Democratic Party
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: really they think that they're gonna sweep. But I'm not
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: so sure about that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's months and months and months where anything could happen. So, hey,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: you're a Nasau County resident. Bruce Blakeman, great county executive.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: He's coming up in the police, he's closing the gap
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: with Kathy Hokel. I think he's got a good chance.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I do. He's got to get this funding thing,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and that'll go to federal court if they deny him
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: in Albany the funding because they did make a clerical error,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the Blakeman campaign did. But I don't think you can
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: alter an election financing an election for a clerical era
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that has been corrected. And if the Democrats you know, so, no,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you're not getting any matching funds. I think has to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: go to federal court and Blakeman will win. The problem
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: that Blakeman has is that people in the York don't
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: know him, and it's still to this day. I mean,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you go north of Duchess County, then people don't know
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, and he's got to buy that. He's got
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to get on television and establish himself. The advantage he
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: has is Hopel because Hopel is now tied to Mandami
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and she wants to get away from him, but she's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to do that. And the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: worst it gets in the city, the worse is going
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to get for Hope.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Blakeman could be This could be a very
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Pataki like race. We didn't know him either, but he
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: just looked more genuine, more authentic, and people loved him
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: as they got to know him. So I could see
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that happening here.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, it just depends on New
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: york as tolerance for pain. You know how much pain
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: do we have to experience here with this Democratic one
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: party leadership? And know people are fleeing. Everybody knows that
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the big money is going to south. The budget deficit
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: is insane. Mandami is confused, He's thirty four years old.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: He can't run the city. It's going to get worse
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and worse and worse. He making every mistake you could
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: possibly make he's allying himself with the most radical elements.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: He himself is a communist and he is. You know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: all you have to do is look at the estate
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: tax and what he wants to take away from hard
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: working Americans who save their money and want to pass
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: it along to their family, to their heiress. He wants
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to take it all. Nomin wants to take it all. Yeah,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that's communism. And so the people of New York State,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of them are distracted, a lot of them
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: are poor, and they want the handouts above all else.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And I don't mean to diminish four people, but come on,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: we all know what's going on there. And how much
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: pain do you want to absorb? And you know, I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: hate going into that city now I used to love it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I got to go tomorrow into the city. You know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: it's dirty. I don't feel threatened. I mean, you know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: when I'm walking around, but I'm not walking around late
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: at night. But there's marijuana smoke on every block. You know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: kids got to look at these indignities of people on
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the street doing all this crazy stuff. It's gonna get worse.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: So that's the key question in November. How much pain
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: do you want to absorb to keep the democratic structure
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: in place.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Well, Hey, the Trump Presidential Library, it has been announced
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: it'll be Miami. If this were ten years ago, whenn't
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: you think he want that library in New York. But
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: now he can't do it because of the crazy left
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: wing controlling Yeah.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: If he does it will be indicted for whatever whatever
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: it may be. He got five exits and you need eight.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So it's taken in the federal court. Look, Donald Trump
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: epitomizes New York. He epitomized this the swagger of the city.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I wrote a book called the United States a Trump
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that demonstrated how he did what he did as far
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: as building himself up into this unbelievable real estate colossus
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: when his father didn't want any part of it. The
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: guy is a quintessential New Yorker and now he can't
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: come here. Yeah, there's something wrong about that.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Hey, even though I read in California there's an exodus
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: from there, biggest dropping population have experienced in many, many years.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: So I assume we can blame Gavin Newsom for that. Correct.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Well, I did a specialist week on San Francisco in
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the collapse of it. It's on Bill O'Reilly dot com.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: It's harrowing, absolutely harrowing, and it's mirrored on La La
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: County is not quite as bad as San Francisco yet,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: because San Francisco is a smaller situation than a forty
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: thousand drug addict substance abusers running around causing all kinds
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of problems. They're in a certain area, so you're overwhelmed,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: whereas La County's biggest county in a country. It's spread out,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: but it's the same problem. No law enforcement, none, and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: so when you have that kind of anarchy, people feel
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: afraid because they shouldn't. And if you get in trouble
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: in La County, I don't know where you go. It's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: not the cops. The cops they're good, but the judges
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and the prosecutors won't bring the cases. So forty thousand
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: homeless drug addicts running around San Francisco, it's ruined the city.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: You got to watch that, simone. It's really something. You
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: go to Bill O'Reilly dot com, just punch it right
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: up and there I am in the middle of the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: tenderline district and I'll spell on it out for you.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: It should never happen in America. Something like that should
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: never happen in this country.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Everybody should go to Bill O'Reilly dot com. Make sure
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: you watch the San Francisco special. Also you get the
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: TV show, the column. Make sure you watch the new
• 12:18
