  Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly is usually on Thursdays, but he's on today.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: This is a treat on a Friday morning to get
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the best ever. He was the best. He still is
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the best. He'll always be the best, whether it's Thursdays or,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: in this case, Friday morning with me, Monday with John
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and Rita. He's got his own amazing website, BillOReilly.com. Great news,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: great stories, great interviews. It's great TV. It just is.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Wonderful author. All those Killing Series books. Now he confronts everybody, Bill.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: He's confronting presidents. He's confronting evil. Lately, he's confronting America.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Does a great job every week with another idiot, Chris Cuomo,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: on News Nation.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Bill.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: And his podcast, Do It Live, is killing it each
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and every week. I love this guy. The best ever,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: my friend Bill O'Reilly. Bill, what the hell happened on
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Well, let's get specific because you've been covering this for,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: this is the third day. I have all the data
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: for you. So I said do a special workup for Rosenberg.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I figured you did.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: What would you like to know? And I will tell you.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Well, listen. We saw J.D. Vance's ridiculous tweet where he
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: found a way to blame Iran and Israel, which, you know, well, listen,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: part of the Iran stuff is true. That's part of
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the affordability crisis. But the truth is, most people in
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the polls that I saw thought that foreign policy, 4%
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: thought foreign policy was the big issue. The bigger issue
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: was affordability at home and, you know, those types of things.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So what was it, do you really think, what was
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: it that killed us on Tuesday? For me, I know
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: exactly what it was. I'm not as smart as you,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: but I know exactly what it was. It was Trump.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I love Trump. I still love Trump. Guess what, America?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Not so much. Democrats hate him, and Republicans are starting
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to hate him. That was it. To me, one word, Trump.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: What about Bill O'Reilly?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: The exit polls say that 40% of the people that
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: voted against the Republicans on Tuesday were angry, angry that
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: they are paying more for the essentials of life when
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: that's not what President Trump promised when he was reelected
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: two years ago. It is simply amazing that Donald Trump
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: got 77 million votes, a record, all right, because people
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: were angry about Joe Biden. one of the worst presidents
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: in history, second worst, okay? And so they were angry
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: at the Democrats, and they voted Trump back. So Trump
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: comes in, and everything's going pretty well. I mean, his vision,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: he's executing his vision. And then the Iran thing comes up. Now,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: it wasn't The Iran war, Americans are sympathetic to the mullahs.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: They don't even know where Iran is. If you gave
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: them a blank map, they'd X Miami Beach. They don't
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: know where Iran is. They don't know the Persian culture.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying it to be mean or supercilious
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: or anything like that. They just don't know. They do
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: know that their utility bills are crazy. Insurance. Crazy. Meanwhile,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the president was not empathetic enough. See, part of politics
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: is showbiz. And Trump knows this better than anyone. I mean,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: he got elected on his skill to communicate with Americans one-on-one.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: But in the pricing... There was no empathy by him
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: or anybody in the Republican Party. Nobody. I mean, Blakeman
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: was probably the best as far as telling people in
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: New York, hey, this shouldn't be happening, and I'll fix it.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: But the anger overwhelmed thought, rational thought. And finally, it's
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: like you have a two-year-old nephew. And the nephew is adorable.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And he's running around. Everybody's patting the nephew on the head. And,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: you know, they're Googling. What are they? But after eight
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: hours of the nephew, you got a bus ticket to Chattanooga.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You can't wait to get home.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: That's what they say about grandparents. I love the fact
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I can go home. Leave the kid with my kid
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and get to go home.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: That happened with Donald Trump.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So are you telling me then, I agree with you,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: but I want you to say it. Are you telling me,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and again, let me make it very clear before you
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: start tweeting that I stabbed Trump in the back. No,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I still love him. I tweeted right away on Tuesday
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: night to put this all on Trump is silly, even
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: though I think most people do. I still love him.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But are you telling me that the United States right
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: now has finally gotten to the real Trump fatigue? And
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: are you telling me that MAGA may be dead?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: No. If the economy were what it was under Trump 1...
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: He would have sailed through. The Republicans would have sailed through.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. So don't you have to end.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Stop this now.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: J.D.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Vance calling out Trump is funny because it was J.D.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: But that's a minor.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. But it was his MOU. It was
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: his MOU that has this war going on an extra
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: three months. Trump, in his heart, wanted to get this
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: done with four months ago. Vance and those other clowns,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: they're the ones who are keeping this going. So if
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you're right and he's going to have the economy of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Trump 1.0, he's got to find a way to end
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: this Iran war very quickly.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Well, it's too late now for his political fortunes. Unfortunately,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: we're going to look at a country in the next
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: two years that is going to be in disarray. And
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the state of New York is tottering on the cliff.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: California is never coming back. It's not part of this
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: country anymore.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: They're gone.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Okay? But New York's close. Very, very close. I agree.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And the unintended consequences, look, I don't know Vance. I
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: interviewed him a couple of times. He doesn't, I don't
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: think that the vice president sees the world the way
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I see the world. But I'm a fair man. And
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: if you're told something, and we don't know what Vance
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: was told, okay, by the president, your boss, you have
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to do it. And that's what happened to Pence. So
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Pence got hammered because he certified the election that Trump
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: said he didn't lose, that it was cheating. And that
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: was the end of Pence. So going forward, I think
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: that there is a bit of opportunism here by J.D. Vance,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and he's starting to signal, oh, yeah, I'm going to run.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not the same guy Trump is because you guys
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: don't like Trump anymore. And I don't like that aspect
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: of politics, and I would never do it myself.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, is that not as– I mean, J.D. Vance
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: is a nobody. He wouldn't even win that Ohio Senate
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: race without Trump, let alone the guy he is now,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a multimillionaire.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And that's something you have to evaluate. That's what they
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: call– a character deficit. And they all have them. Every
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: single politician has them. Really? And you have to evaluate that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Wait a second.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: When you say every politician has them, give me one example.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It probably exists. I'm not going to argue with you.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: You know this game better than I do. But give
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: me one example from Marco Rubio. I haven't seen it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Well, Rubio's job is different, though. See, Rubio's job is
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: is to persuade people to do what Trump wants. That's
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: his job. Right. All right. That's his portfolio, as they say.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: So you're not going to get opinion from Marco Rubio. Look,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: four weeks ago, I was in the Oval Office with
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the Secretary of State and President Trump talking about Iran.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: And President Trump asked me, and I said, you got
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: to hit him. I mean, this was way before any
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: midterms or anybody, you know, I said, you've got to
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: hit them. He showed they're being disrespectful.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Four months ago, we should have done that. That's right.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Right. And, and, and they are putting the United States
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and the whole world in danger. So you have to
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: find a way to punish them. And that's going to
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: require some civilian casualties, which was the thing that Donald
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Trump did not want in that meeting. Rubio did not
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: say a blanking word. Okay? Now, I have a pretty
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: good relationship with Rubio. He didn't say a word because
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: his job was to carry out what President Trump wanted
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to do. The problem was that President Trump does not,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: to this day, know what he wants to do. He changes.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: And Americans got furious. Because, again, they don't care about
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the Iranian conflict per se, but it was the unintended consequences.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And then when you have the Republican Party, look at
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: these candidates. Paxson? Terrible. In Texas? Terrible. And Paxson would
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: have won if not for ICE. All right? The Hispanic
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: voters in Texas turned on the Republican Party because they
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: didn't like it. all of the strife in the streets
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: with ICE. And that was it. If Trump had gotten
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: the same percentage of Hispanic voters in Texas, he would
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: have won the state. And each state has its own story.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham's sister doesn't know anything.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Nah, she should be home on Sunday making cookies for
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the neighbor. She's a sweet lady. They had no right
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: putting her in that role. That was ridiculous.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: But who put her in the role?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Listen, I know. I know.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I didn't love all of these things mounted up. They
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: mounted up and they were when the voter and I'm
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: talking to non-ideological voter went to the poll. He or
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: she was angry, felt betrayed. I didn't sign up for
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: this last time. I didn't vote for this. True. And
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: there are so many millions of Americans who live paycheck
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: to paycheck. And when they get that utility bill tripled.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: It's a killer. It's a killer. I know.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: So that's what happened. You know, it's not a hard analysis. No.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: But the president himself, Trump himself, if you strip out
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: all of the, you know, ancillary stuff, the personal stuff.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: His vision for the country and the world, I believe,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: was good. It was light years better than Obama's and Biden's,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: but now Americans are going to have to pay a price.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: That's why I wanted to come on today and get ready,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: all right, because every single one of us are going
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: to pay a price. And the price is going to
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: come in two packages. The first package in states like
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: New York and probably most other states, your taxes are
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: going to rise.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. Kathy Hochul said she wasn't going to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: waste it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I'm kidding. She wouldn't sign the paper. Do you realize?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And then everybody, all my liberal friends go, just taxes
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: on the rich. And I look at them and I go,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: You're not that dumb. And this is how I talk
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: to my friends. I say, you're not that dumb. Do
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: you realize that Mamdani has put 2,000 speed cameras in
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: New York City? 2,000. That means if you're in an automobile,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: you're being surveilled wherever you go. And those cameras bring
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: in $ 100 million to Ma'am Donnie's treasury. The money is
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: not designated to go anywhere but in his treasury.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Aren't those cameras only by schools and places where we.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: No, they're everywhere. Oh, really?
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding, of course. They're everywhere. They put a camera
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: by our house, Lou, on 136th Street, which is literally
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: by the water. There's nothing there. There's nothing there. They
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: put cameras everywhere.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: If you jaywalk and they hit you on a camera,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: that's $ 200. That's a tax. If you want to go
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: and buy anything in New York State, you are paying
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: what they call a surcharge. Those are taxes that come
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: out of the working people's pockets.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Congestion pricing is a tax. Let's be honest.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Of course it is. Right. So what Mamdani is going
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to do is amass or try to amass an enormous
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: amount slush fund to do all of these projects to
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: redistribute income from hardworking people, all right, to whoever he
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: wants to give it to. This is what communism is.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: You take from the successful and the wealthy, but here
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: you go further because there's not enough Billionaires is Bernie Sanders.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, you know, the definition of
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: rich or wealthy, let me tell you something. I make
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: a lot more money than most people in New York.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I still have paycheck to paycheck. I'm not even close
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: to rich or wealthy. I'm not a seven-figure guy. So
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get clobbered here, okay? If I had
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: a billion or two in the bank, that's one thing.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: If I had 20 million in the bank, no. I
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: don't make seven figures. So they're going to deem me
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: as wealthy, and I'm not. I'm going to get clobbered.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: You're going to get hammered? for as long as the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: communists are running the show in New York City. And
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Blakeman couldn't get through that curtain.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Nobody could.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: And it's shocking because upstate New York, those people, they
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: don't have anything up there, generally speaking. And now you're
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: going to have less.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: The Democratic Party is not going to help you unless
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: you want more food stamps or you want to live
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: in one of these hobbles that they're going to build
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: that are going to be rat infested and nobody's going
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: to repair what goes wrong in those places. And I'm going,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: are you kidding me? I mean, you don't get it.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: No, listen, I brought up the last two governors, Cuomo
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and Hochul, who promised to fix those towns. OK, my
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: mother lives six miles from Monticello. All you have is
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Monticello is a bunch of drug addled, literally people with
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: half a mouth of teeth, high on drugs. There's no
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: jobs there. Every store is shut down. And I can
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: take that to Binghamton, Rochester, Syracuse, Rome, Kingston, all these towns.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Cuomo did nothing. Hochul's done less. And Blake Minstow couldn't win.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: And I don't hear about a least of panic, okay?
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: You sound like an idiot, okay?
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Ridiculous.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Thank you.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you. The truth is, we can't win here right now.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the problem is, Bruce. I must
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: call you. Bill, Republicans, we can't win here right now.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Bottom line. Blakeman's major problem, he had two problems. Number one,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: he couldn't get well-known enough. Because people don't watch television anymore,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: and that's where most of the advertising is. So you're
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: running these spots, and nobody's watching them unless you're 95
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: and don't know how to turn on your cell phone. Okay?
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: And then Blakeman was tied into Trump. And that was
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: enormous in New York.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Enormous.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: That's why he didn't perform as well as Zeldin.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: You know what I said to Mike Lawler yesterday? He
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: came on. He did his first interview with me since
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: he lost. And I said to him, I said, if
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: given the opportunity all over again, because he had that
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: first rally before Blakeman and he had Trump there, the
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: big one with me and Jackson, remember Jackson talking to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the trouble. I said, if you were to do it again,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: would you bring president Trump back to Rockland County? I
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: actually asked him that knowing that he loves Trump and
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I love Trump. And he said he would, but you know,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Trump was attached to him too. And you're telling me
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: in the end, it hurt those guys.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Not as much as Blake.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: No, a hundred percent. You're right.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Yes. You know, and, and, But these guys were caught,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: all right? They were caught because Trump was helping them,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: all right, in the primaries and raised money, and Trump
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: was helping them. So it's hard to be disrespectful. I mean,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: you're a weasel if somebody's helping you, and then you
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: turn on them.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Not just somebody. He's the President of the United States.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And now going forward, in addition to... pain, although
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I think the economy, the consumer-driven economy, is going to
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: be all right. But again, it's not going to help
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: the week-by-week paycheck people. It's not going to help you.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Your circumstance is not going to help you because the
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Democrats are going to gut you of your take-home pay,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: and that drives the economy. Americans buying things, and you
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: can't buy it if you don't have it. And, you know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: when people say, oh, affordability, I look at it, there
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: has not been, since Franklin Roosevelt, one Democratic administration that's
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: cut taxes.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Not one.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: They tell you they do, but then they tax you
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: in the back door. Right. All right?
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: What about the first Clinton administration?
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: No? Yeah, that's true.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Okay? But again... All of the stuff that you needed
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: from local, state, and federal governments, all of the things
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: that you have to have, they mandate that you have
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: a license for this, a license for that, whatever it
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: may be, okay? They tacked on surcharges. But now it's on... See,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are arrogant now. They think that they have
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: a mandate when all i got was uh a victory
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: based on anger that's it could flip really well it's funny.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: You say that we have about two minutes to go
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: but your friend stephen a smith who uh is great
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: with you on television and solomain the god to african-american
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: uh well-known hosts who do a whole bunch of stuff
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: outside of politics, but politics as well, they both said
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: they actually expect, they expect the Democrats to be arrogant,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: over the top, and it's going to cost them the
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: White House in 2028. Smith and Charlemagne both said that.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Well, it depends who the Republicans run. So, you know, look,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: if Donald Trump had held a... nationwide address about early
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: September after Labor Day and said, look, I know what
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: you're going through. I know this Iranian war is hurting
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: you in your wallet. And I am going to resolve that.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: And we're going to do a number of things to
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: restore your money so you can get back to and
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: prosper where we were. Why didn't he do it? Why?
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: He's got the power of the pulpit. You've got to
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: be empathetic. You have to feel the pain of the voter.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, a ballroom, which is needed, absolutely needed, okay,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: and a reflecting pool gets you nothing.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: People are very angry. He was talking about the reflecting
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: pool on Wednesday morning. They're like, are you kidding me?
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: You've got to go where they live. Yeah. You've got
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: to say, I know the American oil companies are gouging you.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I know that. And we're going to take a look
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: at the profiteering laws. That would have scared the hell
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: out of those American oil companies, and those prices would
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: have gone down that night. I agree. But none of
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: that happened. No. The Democrats are good at that. Good
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: at telling you how screwed you are. and it's the
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Republicans' fault, but they're going to fix it. Of course,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: they never fix it. And as I said at the
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: beginning of this chat, New York, very, very shaky now.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I think we're done. I think you're being nice. I
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: think we're done. In fact, I've got Bruce Blakeman on
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: hold right now. He was a guy that could have
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: saved us, as you pointed out two or three times
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: during this conversation. So, Bill O'Reilly, as always, whether it's
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: a Thursday or today on a Friday, What a great conversation.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: You are the best ever. I love you. Thank you
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: so much.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. There is no rumor that we're
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: going to change the state emblem here in New York
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: to the Jets emblem. We're not doing that. When you
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: see that happen, you know it's over.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I got news for you. New York may
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: be bigger losers than the Jets. That's saying a lot,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: by the way, Bill. Bill, I love you. We'll do
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: it again on Thursday.
