Speaker 1: His amazing podcast, Everyone's great. I mean it. I'm not
0:04
Speaker 1: just patronizing Bill. His podcast Will Do It Live is
0:07
Speaker 1: really great and what a writer. S guy of the
0:10
Speaker 1: book on the Presidency evil and he's got a new
0:13
Speaker 1: book coming out around Daniell's birthday late September. Having visited
0:18
Speaker 1: almost ninety countries, I believe the United States offers more
0:22
Speaker 1: opportunity than any other. But I'm not a blind patriot,
0:27
Speaker 1: a person who evaluates life emotionally. I scrutinize, criticize, sometimes lionize.
0:34
Speaker 1: Out of that comes a vivid truth we Americans need
0:40
Speaker 1: to get better. The book is confronting America. What has
0:47
Speaker 1: to change? Bill and Josh Hammer. I just got it yesterday.
0:51
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read it today. I'm being honest.
0:53
Speaker 2: Bill.
0:53
Speaker 1: Looks like an amazing book.
0:56
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Sid, I appreciate it. I've said it
0:59
Speaker 2: out to I don't know, maybe a dozen people that
1:03
Speaker 2: I felt would actually read the book, and then a
1:07
Speaker 2: couple of people that I sent over people to read
1:10
Speaker 2: it to them. So it looks like it's going to
1:17
Speaker 2: open fairly big. You know, advanced sales. We get it's
1:21
Speaker 2: like the movies, and it's a book that basically is
1:26
Speaker 2: gonna tee you off, and you know people are going
1:29
Speaker 2: to get upset, which is okay, but we research it
1:34
Speaker 2: very thoroughly. And then there's a bunch of personal beefs
1:37
Speaker 2: in the book, people who have done me wrong and
1:42
Speaker 2: people who had done things that have hurt the country.
1:46
Speaker 2: Everyone is named everyone. There's no well, I can't tell
1:51
Speaker 2: you who it is.
1:52
Speaker 1: Right, it's even on the it's even on the jacket
1:57
Speaker 1: cover from Donald Trump, Barack Obama, the Clint the Bushes,
2:01
Speaker 1: Paul McCartney, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather,
2:06
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace, Barbara Walters. I can't wait to read this
2:09
Speaker 1: freaking thing. I can't wait.
2:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's a lot in there, and I'm
2:15
Speaker 2: glad I was able to get it down before you know,
2:20
Speaker 2: whatever happened is going to happen. Yeah, but we did
2:26
Speaker 2: need to get better as a country. And it distresses
2:29
Speaker 2: me to see how much angst and hatred and suspicion
2:34
Speaker 2: and all of that. You know, I'll just give you
2:37
Speaker 2: one example. This really bothered me. So this guy also
2:41
Speaker 2: in Renovisenna and Georgie. He attacks Trump and you would
2:48
Speaker 2: expect him to do that. Okay, he's going to do that,
2:52
Speaker 2: But then he goes after a woman named Natalie harp
2:56
Speaker 2: yea and thirty five year old woman. Very nice woman.
3:00
Speaker 2: I've dealt with her for six years, yep. And not
3:04
Speaker 2: a political woman in the sense that, yeah, she has
3:07
Speaker 2: a history conservative, but it's not going out there trying
3:12
Speaker 2: to influence a slash or anything like that. This us
3:15
Speaker 2: off implies that there's an affair, you know, really gutter snipe.
3:23
Speaker 3: Stuff, which I gotta tell you was furthered last night
3:28
Speaker 3: by the repulsive woman filling in for Jimmy Kimmel Rosie
3:33
Speaker 3: O'donnald She did a joke on that last night.
3:35
Speaker 2: Trump and Haunt, Sure, and and I harked him back
3:39
Speaker 2: to when Barack Obama was being hammered by people who
3:44
Speaker 2: said he wasn't born in America. Well, I broke that
3:47
Speaker 2: story that he was because I got the two newspapers
3:51
Speaker 2: in Honolulu who printed the birth announcement on the same day,
3:55
Speaker 2: and we got the original copy. And I just don't
4:00
Speaker 2: this isn't a partisan play if I see something that's
4:03
Speaker 2: not true. But this guy in Georgia and it made
4:08
Speaker 2: social media headline. I said, I'd rather a boot vote
4:10
Speaker 2: for Putin, okay, because this guy is such a gutter snipe.
4:18
Speaker 2: He's such a smear merchant. He doesn't care who he hurts.
4:21
Speaker 2: And I you know, Jaja is an interesting state. But
4:25
Speaker 2: how do you how do you pull a lever for
4:26
Speaker 2: a guy like that? I don't know, But the left
4:28
Speaker 2: wing media don't had any problem with it, because that's
4:33
Speaker 2: what I talked to Cornwall about last night. I talked
4:37
Speaker 2: to her. I said, look, what are you doing? Is
4:39
Speaker 2: what about ism? Well? Trump does, No, we're not talking
4:42
Speaker 2: about Trump. We're talking about a uh, patriotic, thirty five
4:47
Speaker 2: year old woman making a living and and this guy
4:51
Speaker 2: goes in and makes these implications about her, and then
4:56
Speaker 2: it's picked up all over social media and she becomes
4:59
Speaker 2: an object of derision and this is okay, well Trump
5:04
Speaker 2: dog it so wide.
5:05
Speaker 1: Enough of that you're talking about John's Well he does.
5:07
Speaker 1: I know you like him, and it's a good segment
5:09
Speaker 1: when you're around with him, because you do tend to
5:12
Speaker 1: take the audience which believes a lot of the garbage
5:15
Speaker 1: that Chris puts out there, and you correct it. But
5:19
Speaker 1: for example, I saw a clip of him this morning.
5:21
Speaker 1: I couldn't even watch it for some reason. Yeah, Jamel
5:24
Speaker 1: hill On. Now, Jamel hill is a racist. She worked
5:27
Speaker 1: at the ESPN for many years. She's not the Atlantic.
5:30
Speaker 1: All she does is back the black athlete or person
5:35
Speaker 1: and kill the white person. So here's stephen A. Smith,
5:38
Speaker 1: who's been very good to Chris Como by the way,
5:40
Speaker 1: and stephen A comes out and he is critical, critical
5:44
Speaker 1: of people like Jasmine Crockett. He should be, maybe Joy Reid,
5:48
Speaker 1: he should be, and people like Jamel Hill on Chris
5:51
Speaker 1: Cuomo's show, and this idiot who pulled the fire alarm,
5:55
Speaker 1: Jamal Bowman. They're yelling and screaming. How stephen A Smith
6:00
Speaker 1: should never ever, ever criticize a black woman, especially with
6:05
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity on Fox News. What kind of garbage is that?
6:10
Speaker 2: Lord? I like the concept of three Americans with Croomo
6:16
Speaker 2: and stephen A. Okay, and it's a whole dude. When
6:21
Speaker 2: we're on together, all three of us, it's a totally
6:24
Speaker 2: different dynamic. And I understand where CMO's coming from. I
6:29
Speaker 2: don't object to him having an opinion about anything, all right.
6:36
Speaker 2: I never object to that, and that you'll see that
6:39
Speaker 2: in confront of America of the book. I don't object
6:41
Speaker 2: to your opinion. Now, if you're a Jammel Hill and
6:45
Speaker 2: you're trying to hurt people because their skin color is
6:49
Speaker 2: different than yours, I'll object to that, right, But I'm
6:53
Speaker 2: not objecting to well, I think so and so is
6:57
Speaker 2: a good politician, or I've seen so and so should
7:00
Speaker 2: be lucked. I'm not doing that, okay. And Cuomo stays
7:05
Speaker 2: on that side of the line, all right. He doesn't
7:08
Speaker 2: go into this in fact that he didn't attack the situation,
7:17
Speaker 2: but he didn't attack us off. He gave us off
7:19
Speaker 2: a pass. And I'm going no, and then he goes
7:23
Speaker 2: well after me because I said I am consistent. All right.
7:26
Speaker 2: If somebody says Obama was born in Kenya, and I
7:29
Speaker 2: know he was, and I'm gonna say it, okay, and
7:32
Speaker 2: that's it, and that's the way it all should be done.
7:35
Speaker 2: He should be breaking down trying to hurt people. That's
7:38
Speaker 2: the bottom line. They try to hurt people, all right. Personally,
7:44
Speaker 2: they're families that go after them at that level. There's
7:49
Speaker 2: no reason that a Natalie Harp should be the put
7:54
Speaker 2: in a position where people are mocking her because she's
7:59
Speaker 2: working at the White House or an Indian window about
8:04
Speaker 2: her that's wrong. And Cloma did not do that. He
8:10
Speaker 2: did not do that, I want to be very very clear.
8:14
Speaker 2: But he didn't hammer us off. And that was where
8:20
Speaker 2: we got into it.
8:22
Speaker 1: I could see it.
8:23
Speaker 2: So you know, look, I put myself up as a
8:26
Speaker 2: white night sometime and I'm not I make mistakes like
8:29
Speaker 2: everybody else, but I'm not in the business to hurt
8:33
Speaker 2: anyone unless they're hurting you. Okay, that's the caveat. But
8:40
Speaker 2: more and more and more in his country, and this
8:43
Speaker 2: is one of the things that has to change. We
8:46
Speaker 2: are accepting barbaric behavior. We're accepting it, and we shouldn't
8:55
Speaker 2: be a collective nation. Shouldn't.
8:57
Speaker 1: Okay, I agree with that statement. That's right. But here
9:01
Speaker 1: comes the hart part, Bill Owley, how do you change it?
9:06
Speaker 2: Come out? So when I rather vote for Poutin than Also,
9:12
Speaker 2: everybody knows I'm not for okay, but I did it
9:17
Speaker 2: to get headline right, all right, And well you're doing
9:24
Speaker 2: now if you're a moron Wogan others than he's voting
9:29
Speaker 2: for good Okay. You know, we have to be in
9:35
Speaker 2: the media and you do it too, and you you're
9:37
Speaker 2: one of the best at it. We get it caught.
9:43
Speaker 2: We have to get attention to the cause. Okay, so
9:46
Speaker 2: if something is wrong, if you're antisemitic and you're going
9:50
Speaker 2: out trying to hurt Jews, we have to bring attention
9:55
Speaker 2: to that. And the way you do that is to
10:00
Speaker 2: make a provocative statement like you know, putin right or
10:05
Speaker 2: in my case, on my case, and I've been uh
10:08
Speaker 2: banned from Fox News not forever, not forever, call.
10:11
Speaker 1: Them I'm Donnie a terrorist that that grabs people's attention.
10:15
Speaker 2: I never call him a terrorist.
10:16
Speaker 1: I call him a communist, right, I know that that's easier.
10:19
Speaker 1: It's true, they're both true. They're both true, though they're
10:22
Speaker 1: both true. But that's fine. He is a communist. I
10:24
Speaker 1: don't know a sue with that. But you know, I
10:26
Speaker 1: was told just call him a terrorist sympathizer. I'm not
10:29
Speaker 1: doing that because I have a different definition. Listen, if
10:33
Speaker 1: he can redefine the word rape, which he has, if
10:35
Speaker 1: he can redefine the word anti Semitism, which he has,
10:40
Speaker 1: I could redefine terrorists. And in my opinion, you don't
10:43
Speaker 1: got to wear an explosive vest. You don't got to
10:45
Speaker 1: shoot somebody when you share the ideology, when you're friendly
10:49
Speaker 1: with them, when you honor them. When you are one
10:52
Speaker 1: of them, you're a terrorist. So I'm not going to apologize.
10:55
Speaker 1: I never did. And if it means I got to
10:57
Speaker 1: spend six months away from Fox News, I don't want
11:00
Speaker 1: to do that. On Lovebox News. I do. I mean,
11:02
Speaker 1: you know, enjoy going on their programs and it's the
11:04
Speaker 1: only thing I watch outside of you. But I'm not
11:07
Speaker 1: going to apologize for saying something that I meant then
11:10
Speaker 1: and I still mean today.
11:13
Speaker 2: And that's good. That's why you're number one in New
11:15
Speaker 2: York because people might not agree with you, but they
11:20
Speaker 2: know that you are speaking from a place. Will you
11:23
Speaker 2: really believe it? I do. I can't tell you how
11:28
Speaker 2: many broadcasters, famous people. I mentioned two of them, Anderson
11:33
Speaker 2: Cooper and Jane Pauli. They're mentioned in Confronting America. I
11:39
Speaker 2: can't tell you how many of these people to work
11:41
Speaker 2: for the money yep, Okay, So they walk in whatever
11:46
Speaker 2: agency hires, and the agency looks at him and goes,
11:48
Speaker 2: is what we want you to do? I mean, if
11:51
Speaker 2: Arrosi o'donald came out and substituting for kim O and said,
11:55
Speaker 2: you know, I don't think Donald trusts really wrong on everything?
12:01
Speaker 2: She never go back.
12:03
Speaker 1: She'll never be back.
12:04
Speaker 2: There's no way she goes back. So there is all
12:08
Speaker 2: of all of that money involved with it. But the
12:13
Speaker 2: most important thing that you asked the question in the
12:15
Speaker 2: beginning of the interview, what can we do about it?
12:20
Speaker 2: We have to start to call people out. Look. I
12:24
Speaker 2: wrote a columnents on billoilly dot com about when I
12:28
Speaker 2: went to school. This is fifty five years that my
12:32
Speaker 2: parents drove me to Maris College in be Gepsie, New
12:34
Speaker 2: York and pretty much threw me out the window. We'll
12:37
Speaker 2: see in four years. Okay, yeah, I have seen I
12:41
Speaker 2: don't think I've ever seen two human beings more overjoyed
12:46
Speaker 2: than when my used car door opened and there I was.
12:51
Speaker 2: We'll have a good time at college now, and then
12:55
Speaker 2: you're on your own, on your own. Okay, there's no mommy,
13:00
Speaker 2: you know daddy, Nobody in the college look at you twice.
13:05
Speaker 2: Now at the University of Michigan, you don't even get
13:07
Speaker 2: a grade if you're a freshman because oh, there's too
13:12
Speaker 2: much mental health crisis. Well, don't accept somebody who's a nut.
13:17
Speaker 2: What are you doing? Yeah, the person's a loon, And
13:21
Speaker 2: then you know, what are you doing? So there's no
13:25
Speaker 2: grade for the first for the freshman year.
13:28
Speaker 1: Is that true? Yeah, that's not the only throw.
13:31
Speaker 2: My whole column, I said, this is what is developing
13:35
Speaker 2: the soft mentality in America. Terrible where all over the world,
13:41
Speaker 2: including Iran and China, people laughing at us with soft. Okay, ohie,
13:48
Speaker 2: I can't have a grade. I might g indee, I
13:53
Speaker 2: give you an half just for whining. Yeah, okay, And
13:58
Speaker 2: that is absolutely It's not just University of Michigan. It's
14:03
Speaker 2: a lot of college in California. It's coming to New York.
14:05
Speaker 2: You wait and see, you wait and see. No, we
14:10
Speaker 2: can't get great, oh no, oh no. And when this
14:14
Speaker 2: kind of stuff that erodes the culture, you know what,
14:18
Speaker 2: do we want a country a weakling?
14:21
Speaker 1: I mean that really started Bill and you know this
14:24
Speaker 1: better than me with Obama where that the mentality was
14:27
Speaker 1: and I can't stand this. Everyone gets a trophy.
14:31
Speaker 2: What do you mean?
14:31
Speaker 1: Everyone gets a trophy? Now the stars get the trophy,
14:35
Speaker 1: but everyone gets a trophy. That's really been America since Obama.
14:40
Speaker 2: I think, Look, Barack Obama was a down the line
14:46
Speaker 2: liberal and I'm obviously right about him. In this book.
14:49
Speaker 2: Has had a bunch of interactions with mister Obama. One
14:54
Speaker 2: of them was unbelievable and involved Paul McCartney and Bno,
15:02
Speaker 2: it was incredible. Okay, yeah, way do you read this story?
15:07
Speaker 2: All right, he's a down the line liberal guy and
15:12
Speaker 2: he doesn't deviate out of that. How many times have
15:16
Speaker 2: you heard Barack Obama go against the liberal orthodoxy? Never?
15:22
Speaker 1: Never, never, no, all right, and there.
15:25
Speaker 2: Are obviously conservatives on the same plane. There's never going again.
15:30
Speaker 2: You know, they're just not all right, Mister McCollum's the
15:33
Speaker 2: greatest guy in the world. No, he's not. Okay, So
15:40
Speaker 2: what my job is and it's it's amazing when I said,
15:43
Speaker 2: fifty five years ago, my parents dumped me off at
15:46
Speaker 2: Poughkeepsie where it was one hundred and twenty degrees. I
15:49
Speaker 2: thought I was in Saudi Arabia. I can't tell you
15:53
Speaker 2: the appenthy level at that college's like, how are you? Oh,
15:58
Speaker 2: you got a room on the eighteenth? Are you going
16:01
Speaker 2: to kill the rats before I get in there?
16:04
Speaker 1: You know?
16:05
Speaker 2: It was it was Faber remember animal House. This was
16:10
Speaker 2: Faber College. But it served me well. Because I was
16:18
Speaker 2: a working class kid from eleven Town. I had to,
16:21
Speaker 2: you know, get a little bit bigger view of the world. Now,
16:26
Speaker 2: I was in with all other working class kids. Okay,
16:30
Speaker 2: but a lot of them didn't make it, and there
16:33
Speaker 2: was no we're not giving you grades. It was none
16:37
Speaker 2: of that. No, it was like you passed you. You know,
16:42
Speaker 2: it was eight hals. So anyway, look, my job now
16:48
Speaker 2: as an elder statesman, and I can't even believe I'm
16:52
Speaker 2: in that category where I am.
16:53
Speaker 1: Well, you said it, I didn't. You said that, right?
16:58
Speaker 2: My job now is to point out to listeners on
17:03
Speaker 2: WABC people watch my program, newstation, whatever it may be,
17:07
Speaker 2: to point out this gay this is hurting the country. Yep,
17:11
Speaker 2: back to my job.
17:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have the experience and you've seen it all
17:16
Speaker 1: again traveling over ninety countries. This is going to be
17:18
Speaker 1: an amazing book. Bill O'Reilly and Josh Hammer, who's the
17:22
Speaker 1: sweet guy? Like him too? Confronting America? What has to change?
17:27
Speaker 1: This was a hysterical conversation. I can't wait to read
17:30
Speaker 1: this book now, specifically the Obama McCartney's bono chapter. So
17:34
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us are in for a
17:36
Speaker 1: big treat. What is the exact date again, Bill? The
17:38
Speaker 1: book comes.
17:39
Speaker 2: Out September fifteenth.
17:41
Speaker 1: September fifteenth, which is coming very very quickly.
17:45
Speaker 2: Bill with your pre order on bill O'Reilly dot com.
17:48
Speaker 2: We'll get it to you first. But it's going to
17:51
Speaker 2: gender a lot of conversational because there's not a predictable
17:55
Speaker 2: down the line conservative versus liberal book. It's not it's
18:00
Speaker 2: this person's a rat.
18:02
Speaker 1: I love that, but I love that. I love that.
18:04
Speaker 1: So you've got them. You've got from the uh, You've
18:07
Speaker 1: got from the killing stories, so the confronting stories. You've
18:10
Speaker 1: confronted presidents, you've confronted evil, and now you're confunting America.
18:14
Speaker 1: I like that.
18:16
Speaker 2: Well, look, I'm fifty years plus in the business, you know,
18:22
Speaker 2: so I think I've earned the right to do it.
18:25
Speaker 2: And I think that my observations. I don't expect everybody
18:28
Speaker 2: agree with everything. And I say that on the cover
18:31
Speaker 2: of the book. The books are going to tee you
18:33
Speaker 2: off because I'm going to go into you know, things
18:36
Speaker 2: that you think are true, but they're not true. All right,
18:41
Speaker 2: But I want people to to but I want them
18:43
Speaker 2: to do a good natured I want them to you know.
18:47
Speaker 2: I know I'll get attacked, but I'll attack right back.
18:50
Speaker 2: I'm like you. You and I One of the reasons
18:52
Speaker 2: that were friends. Is that where sympatic? I gonn to
18:55
Speaker 2: take any bs to anybody? No, no, okay, no, I
18:59
Speaker 2: mean if you're got to do something bad, Rosenberg and
19:02
Speaker 2: O'Reilly are going to call you Outam.
19:04
Speaker 1: Bottom line, you went for a long day.
19:06
Speaker 2: That's why you're you and I are most successful because
19:09
Speaker 2: it's me. Weasels in the world. We got enough weasels.
19:14
Speaker 2: We need people who are going to stand up and
19:16
Speaker 2: then very very specific and say this is wrong. This
19:20
Speaker 2: is how we gotta fix it.
19:22
Speaker 1: Bill o'reiley, I love you. I couldn't love you more
19:24
Speaker 1: than I do. You're a great, great guest, a terrific
