  Speaker 1: So called manifesto was a stunning thing to read, mister President.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: quote administration officials, they are targets. And he also wrote this,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: trader to coat my hands with his crimes. What's your reaction.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I was waiting for you to read that because
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I knew you would, because you're you're horrible people. Horrible people. Yeah,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: he did write that, I'm not a rapist. I didn't
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: rape anybody.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, I think he was referring to you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: from some sick person. I got associated with all stuff
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Your friends on the other side of the plate are
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the ones that were involved with let's say Epstein or
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: other things. But I said to myself, you know, I'll
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: do this and you and they'll probably read the manifesto.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: You know it's a sick person. But you should be
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: ashamed of yourself reading that because I'm not any of
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: those things. Excuse me, you shouldn't be reading that. In
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: sixteen minutes. You're a disgrace.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, you're a disgrace. Talking about more O'Donnell
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I did see that. Anna Navarro, another disgrace on the
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: view with those repulsive eggs, says that she can see
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: why people would jump to conclusions that maybe the whole
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: thing was staged because Trump lies. That's what Annaabarro said.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Me and Pharaoh, the actress that was married to Woody Allen,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I guess she said the same thing. I mean, we're
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: surrounded by sick people, very sick. But I wanted to
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: make sure today, the first day back, I put on
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: as many people as possible who were there inside, smart
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: people inside. So I had Brian kill meat on early
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: than Miranda the Vine and as Vanessa Williams one sang,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I save the best for last. He's on every Thursday.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: But my dear friend Bill O'Reilly sent me a picture
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: last night with his son Spencer, who's a very handsome
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: young man, a beautiful picture. So Bill, let me start
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: by saying, thank god you and Spencer are okay. Thank
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: you for hopping on. It will be twice this week.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Thank you for hopping on this morning. Thank you so much.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Well, you're welcome. Spencer's line to me was, Hey, Dad,
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: I didn't know you weld take me to basic training.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Jez, Yeah, I mean I've probably seen that way, you know.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Brian kill Me told me earlier this morning that he
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: was surprised it wasn't more chaotic, and Miranda Devine told
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: me moments ago that it was incredibly chaotic. What was
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the experience for the O'Reillys?
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Well, I was in the back of the room where
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: people enter from an escalator that takes you from the
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: main part of the hotel down to the ballroom, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: I just happen to be standing there and I heard
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: these four pops and they.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Were loud, but you heard the gunshots. Yeah, because people
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: at the front of the room, like you'll meet and
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Devine was sitting by the day is they didn't hear
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: any of that stuff.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Right, And I immediately everybody dove to the floor. In fact,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I looked under the tables. How is it down there, Spence?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: But you know, I'm a journalist. I got to see
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: the story. I can't be it can't be right on
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: the carpet. So the first thing I did was turned
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: toward the gunfire. I didn't know where it was coming from.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: And then I saw the Secret Service guys rush down
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: the aisle. Then I knew what was happening. And it
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: was a marshal by the door who's a fan of
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: mine and that always helps, and he had an earpiece
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: and I said, well, de deuce is going on and
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: he goes, well, some guy upstairs. They neutralized him, but
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: he got off some shots and he wasn't close to
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: the day. See, he couldn't have gotten down there under
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: any circumstances. And so I picked up the story from there.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: I watched his president was evacuated and then a lot
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: of people were on the floor and just took it
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: all in. But I still to this moment can't find
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: out who shot. I know that the perpetrator shot a
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Secret Service guy in the vest, but usually after that
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: said you're dead within a minute, within thirty ticks of
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: the clock. I mean, you shoot a Secret Service agent,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: you got five guns on you, you're dead. So something happened
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: that this guy didn't get killed by the Service, which
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: was up in the lobby where he was, and I
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: don't know what it is. I'll find out.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is the big question. My buddy Johnny Tobacco,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: who hosts Wise Guys on WOSBAS sent out this tweet
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: moments ago, and he said, I don't care if it's
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: send me the bol Gravano or if it's po needle.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: You know, there were eight shots, supposedly eight, and most
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: of those came from Secret servicemen. They were right in
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: front of this guy. It wasn't like they were, you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: a couple of hundred yards away, right in front. How
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: was it possible that this guy, if they're shooting, one
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: of them actually survived.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: How that's a big question. And I don't know. I
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: heard four shots, and so I don't know how many
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: shots are fired or by whom. But that'll come out.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: That information will come out maybe today.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I want to ask you about the Secret
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Service overall, because I sent this to you last night
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: that I texted President Trump. At seven nineteen am yesterday morning,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I texted you Bill. I said, I'm glad you're okay,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: but sad and sickened that you continue to go through this.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: So sorry, but the majority of us love and appreciate you.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Bottom line, stay strong, my friend. Three minutes later, seven
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: to twenty two am, I received the text back from
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: the President of the United States. He said, thanks Sid
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: a rough evening. Secret Service did a great job. President DJT.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: So I asked Paul more earlier. You know, Paul terrific guy,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: twenty two year cop in New York Now on Fox News.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: I said, all this criticism all morning long yesterday Rachel
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Campo's Lawrence Jones about the Secret Service. Yet President Trump
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: was quick in his text to me to thank them.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: And he said, well, listen, the President's always going to
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: thank the cops. That's just his gut reaction. I mean,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: maybe right, because most people I speak to can't figure out,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: even though the guy was not in the room close
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: to the dais how we got as far as he did.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: What are your thoughts?
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Well, it wasn't hard to do that because the guy
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: was staying in the hotel. So you have a hotel
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: full of people, including him in a room, and he
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: took a train cross countries who he had his ordinance
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: with him, and all you gotta do is walk out
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: your door, walk down the stairs, and there's a Secret Service.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: So I don't have any beef with the Secret Service
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: or the marshals or even a local DC cops I
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: think they were stationed where they should have been stationed. Again,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: that guy could not have gotten near the President of
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: the United States, right, there's.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: No way he could have no, no way. It was
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: a stupid plan. Even to think he's gonna run is.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I know he runs, but he passed the President even
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: said he should be in the NFL. He's a very
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: fast runner. But to think he's gonna run past every
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: one of those agents, even if he got to the door,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: there were more. There was a silly plan for a
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: guy that everybody called such a genius. But what are
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: your thoughts about holding events in venues like that?
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't do that again.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was too easy to get in there without
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: scrutiny because we were just so many people mingling in
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: the lobby. There had to be a thousand people there,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: I mean it was. It was crazy and they were
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: they had all of the startered tech set up, but
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: it's just too many people.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Oh you say a thousand people, the actual number inside
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: the room ready for this double twenty one hundred.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they were, and that is added to all
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: the people in the hotel, So it was it was huge.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: And when we went in there, you know, I had
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: to stand there and get my picture taken and all
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: that in front of the correspondence banner. But I noticed
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: there were a lot of ebb and flow, a lot
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: of people walking around, and then there are only a
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: few bathrooms in the place, and then you know, everybody's
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: getting up and going there, and there were lines outside there.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: It was not containable.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Well, lucky, lucky, I mean, imagine, imagine if this guy
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: walked in there and was I don't know that the
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: guys in the Middle East strapped to a vesta, had
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: a bomb with them or a machine gun was able
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: to get through. You know, we're lucky nobody died.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: And yeah, that could have only happened outside. That could
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: not have happened inside because there was so many logistics
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: that you had to go through to get down to
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: the ballroom itself.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Right, right, So that was pretty well. So that was
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: pretty well protected. You saying, at any point, Bill, were
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: you or even Spencer, were you guys nervous? I don't
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: say scared, but maybe you.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Know, Look, I've been doing his fifty years, so I'm
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: been in a lot of precarious positions. But you know,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: my son has never been in a position like and
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: he looked at me, he goes, you know you're the
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: first one they shoot because I'm standing there six foot four.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I didn't hit the ground. And I said, especially my job.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: I mean I have to find out what's happening here.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I can't be you know, running and hiding them. Then
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: it's not what I do. So he understood it, and
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I understood the people who were down on the floor.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you're a civilian, then you're hearing gunshots
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: and they were loud. I mean they you know, if
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: you're in a back part of that ballroom, you heard
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: those distinctly. Up front they didn't, as Miranda said, but boy,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: well I was. You could hear those things very very clearly.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Wow. Interesting. So what do you think happens moving forward?
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Do you think this now gets the ballroom done at
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: the White House? Do you think this is silly but
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: people are talking about it. Do you think that Democrats
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: now will be more inspired to get a deal done
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: in fund the DHS when you consider that those same
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: secret service guys bill that save the President and many
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: of you, all of you on Saturday night, have not
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: been paid in seventy two days. Do you expect anything
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: concrete and practical to come of this.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, I do. I think that'll turn the tie as
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: far as that kind of legislation is concerned, and they'll
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: get paid. But I don't expect the Democratic Party to
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: stop or the president to stop the verbal warfare. I
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: think that'll go on until the president leaves office. And
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: you just played the clip with Norah O'Donnell nor o'donald.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Never should have run that, never should have done that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: That's way beyond a journalism. That's what that is. Gutter
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: snipe stuff.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you, but somebody I agree with you,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: But somebody did say to me this morning. But wait
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: a second, I agree with you on hundred percent. That
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: was lousy. It was up moric. It was gutter snipe,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: and I'm glad President Trump reacted the way he did.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: But just to play double's advocate, Bill, you're a great journalist,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I'm not if that was in the manifesto manifesto. I
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: should say, isn't that their game?
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: No, because he's not verifying that it's in the manifesto
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: the manifesto. All she had to do was say, you know,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: the guys are terrible things about you, right, that haven't
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: been verified, but he obviously hates you. Or what do
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: you think about that? You shun't have to go down
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: the litany of it. You only did that to embarrassing.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Yep, it's true.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: That's the only way that she did. And to be
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: I guess a tough.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Gal keeps doing that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Jeralists don't do that. Yeah, it's a fact based industry.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: You don't take some kind of gossip or a quittle
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: and ram it down somebody that you're.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Gonna want to go over what you just said. He said,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Journalists don't do that. No, that's not true. That used
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: to be the case. Now that's all they do. That's
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: all they do.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: That's true. But I'm still an old school guy. Yeah,
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: it's only one of you new stuff, and I go,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: that's ridiculous.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: You get mad.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: And they edited it, they have to use it. Is
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: there no one at CBS News who knows anything.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: About Well, you know, it's funny you say that because
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: I actually thought Barry Weiss has been doing a good job.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I thought you would stop stuff like this.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Well, she needs to explain why she allowed that.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: In I agree with you, I totally agree. I'd have
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: her on Billwaddy dot Com tonight because I keep touting her.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I swear to you, even at a Holocaust Museum meeting,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: I said, we got Hope, we got Barry Weiss. How
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: does she allowed that nonsense last night?
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, she's not going up against me, right,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: all right, and I gotta do that. So, you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Americans need to know when they're being conned.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: And this was self aggrandizement for Nora o'donald, who I know.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: And I don't have any beef against Nero Donald. Yeah,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, but you don't do that. That's not their right.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: It's not right to do it.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Nope.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: And so Trump was absolutely right in calling her out
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: on it.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: It was fantastic television. I gotta tell you, well, listen,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: thank you for doing this today. I really wanted to
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: talk to you most of all. And you're great, as
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: you always are. And I'm glad you and Spencer are okay.
• 14:45
