- 0:22Speaker 2: the latest with Lindsay Gram. It's fascinating. Well, we'll talk
- 0:24Speaker 2: about that in a second, of course. The TV show
- 0:27Speaker 2: everything's at Bill O'Reilly dot com. Bill O'Reilly dot com.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly.
- 0:31Speaker 3: How you doing, oh, Manan teb, how about you?
- 0:35Speaker 2: I'm good? Hey. The most interesting I watched was your
- 0:38Speaker 2: new podcast it We'll Do It Live, the latest one
- 0:41Speaker 2: with Lindsey Graham. That was the best explanation of the
- 0:44Speaker 2: Iran war I have ever heard.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Thank you. It's an old fashioned interview, you don't get
- 0:52Speaker 3: many of them anymore, where I went in very surgically,
- 0:57Speaker 3: and we started with the word imminence because that's what
- 1:02Speaker 3: the Trump administration is saying to justify the action that
- 1:07Speaker 3: Iran had an imminent threat with the uranium they hold,
- 1:15Speaker 3: and I thought that Sanator Graham defined it pretty well.
- 1:20Speaker 3: Now you can always not believe him if you don't
- 1:23Speaker 3: want to, and that's what people have a tendency to do.
- 1:26Speaker 3: We did identify him as a hawk. He is, but
- 1:31Speaker 3: he was very convincing to me. And he certainly knows
- 1:36Speaker 3: because he gets the intel just like President Trump, and
- 1:40Speaker 3: he speaks to Trump a couple of times a day.
- 1:45Speaker 3: So if there's ever a guy who knows what the
- 1:48Speaker 3: nuke situation is inside Iran, it's Lindsay Graham.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody's gonna go watch this. It's Bill o'relly's new podcast.
- 1:55Speaker 2: We'll do it live, the Lindsey Graham one. But he explains,
- 2:00Speaker 2: if you're going to use the nuclear material for some
- 2:03Speaker 2: energy of commercial purposes, it's twenty percent, but when you
- 2:06Speaker 2: get it to where they have it's sixty percent. You're
- 2:09Speaker 2: heading towards.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Yeah, And the real kicker on it is that the
- 2:12Speaker 3: Trump administration, in its negotiations before the action, said to Iran,
- 2:19Speaker 3: we'll pay for your nuclear ambitions to power up your country,
- 2:29Speaker 3: so we'll make it happen for you. But Iran basically said, no,
- 2:35Speaker 3: We're going to do what we want to do, and
- 2:37Speaker 3: that's developed a nuclear weapon. So what more does anybody need?
- 2:41Speaker 3: Because if you have a rogue regime, like that a
- 2:46Speaker 3: theocracy that answers to no one, and they have a
- 2:51Speaker 3: nuclear weapon, they can hand that weapon off on a
- 2:56Speaker 3: low level situation and kill a hundreds of thousands of people.
- 3:00Speaker 3: But apparently half of the United States doesn't believe that
- 3:05Speaker 3: or doesn't want to believe it. Yeah, and to me,
- 3:09Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, you don't believe history, you don't believe evil,
- 3:14Speaker 3: you don't believe nukes. What do you believe? And I'll
- 3:18Speaker 3: tell you what they believe. Trump is the evil one
- 3:22Speaker 3: that's driving all of the descent.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Now, they did this with Bush. They hated Bush. In fact,
- 3:28Speaker 2: that's where the term came from, Bush derangement syndrome. But
- 3:33Speaker 2: he was a very formal politician. Trump just rattles their
- 3:36Speaker 2: cage at every turn. So is that all it is?
- 3:38Speaker 2: He just cranks it up like a thousand notches.
- 3:41Speaker 3: Yeah. They don't want to hear any kind of positive
- 3:46Speaker 3: analysis of Donald Trump ever, And so whatever Donald Trump's
- 3:50Speaker 3: involved with is wrong, and the media pushes that out
- 3:56Speaker 3: on a daily basis. So Americans, you don't pay attention,
- 4:00Speaker 3: which about half of us. We live in bubbles, so
- 4:04Speaker 3: we don't pay attention to the news. They don't really
- 4:06Speaker 3: care what happens other than what happens to ourselves. So
- 4:11Speaker 3: they pick up the anti Trump sentiment and then they
- 4:15Speaker 3: form whatever opinion they're going to form it. They don't
- 4:19Speaker 3: know what Iran is. They can't find it on a map.
- 4:23Speaker 3: They don't know what theocracy is. They don't know the
- 4:27Speaker 3: details that Lindsay Graham put out. You know, when you
- 4:30Speaker 3: interview a guy for an hour, which is what the
- 4:34Speaker 3: long form We'll do what live? Does you know he
- 4:40Speaker 3: has to have it together or I'm going to destroy him?
- 4:43Speaker 3: You know that. Yeah, and he falters or he doesn't
- 4:47Speaker 3: have it, I'm going to go in, I don't care
- 4:50Speaker 3: who you are and say, well, it doesn't stack, it
- 4:53Speaker 3: doesn't make any sense. But Graham was very well organized
- 4:57Speaker 3: in this process, and I believe them.
- 5:01Speaker 2: No, you did it perfectly. You wear the tough cross
- 5:03Speaker 2: Examiner and everybody should go watch it. It's We'll do
- 5:06Speaker 2: It Live. Bill O Rilly's latest podcast, watch the one
- 5:08Speaker 2: with Lindsey Graham. Hey, and the other thing I love
- 5:10Speaker 2: about this podcast it's on a It looks like a
- 5:14Speaker 2: TV show on a set, which is great. Everybody does
- 5:16Speaker 2: these podcasts now. They're in a sweater, they're in their basement,
- 5:18Speaker 2: they're in a garage. I don't like that stuff. I
- 5:21Speaker 2: like it the way you did it.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Yeah again, traditional, old school, respectful. There'll be times when
- 5:29Speaker 3: I don't wear a tie, but I'm not going to
- 5:30Speaker 3: look like a bomb and smoke pot during the podcast. Okay,
- 5:35Speaker 3: it's not going to do it. I'm not going to have,
- 5:38Speaker 3: you know, a shot of vodka in between questions. So
- 5:43Speaker 3: I don't care what other people do. I've been in
- 5:45Speaker 3: this business more than fifty years, a big successful on
- 5:48Speaker 3: every single thing we've ever done, because I understand what
- 5:52Speaker 3: the American audience wants in its pursuit of journalism, and
- 6:00Speaker 3: they want honesty and they want authenticity, which is why
- 6:03Speaker 3: you're successful. And that's what I provide.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Hey, explain this to me as the media expert, because
- 6:09Speaker 2: all these consultants, you know, I tell you every these
- 6:11Speaker 2: quick short form, quick quick How come everybody now wants
- 6:15Speaker 2: to hear these long interview these long podcasts? What is
- 6:18Speaker 2: that all about?
- 6:19Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, it's an excellent question, because
- 6:22Speaker 3: I didn't want to do this my younger staff. When
- 6:27Speaker 3: I say younger under thirty five, but all you got
- 6:30Speaker 3: to do this. You got to get in the game,
- 6:32Speaker 3: and because we were doing four nights of a hard
- 6:35Speaker 3: news broadcast, we're doing three nights now and they know
- 6:39Speaker 3: it's been news and one night of the long form,
- 6:42Speaker 3: and I finally surrendered. I said, all right, we'll give
- 6:45Speaker 3: it a shot. And we've done two of them and
- 6:48Speaker 3: they've been fabulous successful, millions of people, and we're dropping
- 6:53Speaker 3: a third on Thursday, which is I'm going to alternate
- 6:59Speaker 3: back and forth. So we got Steve Sharripa on Thursday. Yeah,
- 7:05Speaker 3: and it's very interesting, particularly for New Yorkers, because Sharipa
- 7:09Speaker 3: is a Brooklyn guy who never wanted to be an actor,
- 7:14Speaker 3: he never wanted to be famous, and it was almost
- 7:17Speaker 3: thrust upon him. Fascinating story. And he's a good guy.
- 7:23Speaker 3: I know him personally, So he will drop Sharripa on Thursday.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Oh, that's gonna be great. That's gonna be excellent. So, yeah,
- 7:31Speaker 2: he was he was the entertainment director of the Riviera
- 7:34Speaker 2: Hotel in Las Vegas.
- 7:35Speaker 3: That's right. And before that he was a bouncer in Vegas.
- 7:41Speaker 3: But he's a genuinely good guy and an honest guy.
- 7:44Speaker 3: And I get into a lot of the subtleties of
- 7:49Speaker 3: both the Sopranos and blue Bloods because you had two
- 7:54Speaker 3: classic guys in there, Gandolfini the lead in Sopranos and
- 8:02Speaker 3: sell It the blue Bloods guy. And they were opposite guys,
- 8:07Speaker 3: but they did control the venues they were in and
- 8:12Speaker 3: the way in Sharrippa was in boat programs and really
- 8:15Speaker 3: describes it very, very astutely how these guys make it
- 8:21Speaker 3: to the top and the pressure on them to stay there.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Wow. Sounds fascinating. Well, you can watch this. This will
- 8:27Speaker 2: be the latest podcast. It'll come out Thursday, and make
- 8:30Speaker 2: sure you go watch the Lindsey Graham one. It's the
