  Speaker 1: day he died too. I don't remember exactly, but so
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: there's all Beach Boys for you. Bill O'Reilly was the best.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: He still is the best. He will always be the best,

  Speaker 1: great interviews, great columns every day, a wonderful author, thirteen
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: books in the Killing series. His book on the President's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I think is the best ever. I love Confronting Evil.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: He's got a brand new book coming out again this September.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: You can catch him on News Nation two. There's a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: great job there with the likes of Chris Cuomost, even
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a Smith and others. And of course he's got his
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: new pot cast. He just had Anthony Scaramucci. I'm not
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a big fan, but that's fine. His podcast is great.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I've been on it once myself, and it's called of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: course with the We're Alive here. He is the old
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: time best Bill O'Reilly, Bill, good morning, buddy, how are you?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I'm the same, which is tragic for everyone. You know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: no evolution here.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: No, I don't believe that's true because I know this.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I have seen you now, you and I have gone together.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: You're very generous to a lot of met games, a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: lot you've invited me. I've been to one Nick game
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: with you, but I see you at the Gordon a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Lot at New York Nick Games right by Corey selling
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: there in that second row and with the Knicks one
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: went away from breaking a fifty three year drought. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: can't believe, Bill O'Reilly, that you're the quote unquote same today.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I don't get emotional about this stuff. It was quite
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a game, I'll tell you that. And it's cutting into
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: my sleep time. These games they last at two am,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I know, I mean they never because ABC stacked them
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: with so many commercials for I see another SUV drive
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: off a cliff. I mean, how many of these things
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you got? But anyway, that was a historical game for
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: two reasons, biggest comeback ever and one step closer to
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: getting this championship that New Yorkers will always remember their
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: whole lives. And both are good.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Things, although the city has not afforded itself great If
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you heard Craig Caughton on earlier, but the w Ftony
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: f An afternoon host had Jim Dolan live in studio
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: yesterday and he was very tough. I was happy to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: hear that. On Mom Donnie, he was equally tough. I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: was not happy to hear that on Jessica Tish the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Police Commission. I thought he was a bit unfan when
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it came to her, But either way, you know, he
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: thought the city was doing a really bad job these
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: watch parties and you know, pretty much shutting down all
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of seventh and Eighth Avenue on game nights and screwing
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: local businesses there in the city. And he seemed equally
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: as upset with the way the city is being run
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: as he was excited about his basketball team on the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: precipice of winning a championship. Ike Srope, you heard that,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: but that was Dolan yesterday.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't really understand this. You had your watch
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: parties in Central Park and down Lower Manhattan you had
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: another watch party where seventeen people were arrested. One cop
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: winds up in the hospital.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: That's Brian Park. And that happened on two consecutive watch parties.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so why do we have to have the watch
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: party in a proximity of a president rolling into town?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I don't understand. You want to watch, you go to
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: watch party and the city provided areas. I think the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: cops were happy and relieve that they weren't going to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: have confrontations, and I think did a really good job.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I was there yesterday. I didn't go to the game,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: but I was at Moynihan Hall on Penn Station. We
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: shot a thing with Gene Simmons, The Kiss. Where do
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you see this? He's really something? But anyway, and and yeah,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: there was some inconvenience, but it wasn't anything extraordinary. And
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: you know, we don't want anybody getting hurt. And there
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: are a lot of loons, and if you can isolate
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the loans, you have to isolate them. And some bolows that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Now when the next win, and I believe they will
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the championship, then you're going to have another problem, Big.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: One, Big one, three and a half million people, Yeah,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: three and a half million people in Lower Manhattan, good luck.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then a parade and then so the more
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that the police can organize it so that the loons
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: don't cluster together, the better. I don't know what the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: beef is. I really don't.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Well, the beef is is that, you know, people want
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: these parties. But I'm a New Yorker and I love
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the Knicks, and I love my fellow New Yorkers, but
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: we've embarrassed ourselves Alaska. Now, Craig said, Listen, it's only
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a couple of one, hundreds of thousands and thousands that
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: may be true. That may be true enough people in
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the hospital in the hospital. And also, perception sometimes is
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: more dangerous than reality. And that's what they're showing all
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: over the country, people getting arrested in New York for
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: like Los Angeles, well like Detroit. And we're winning, we're
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: winning basketball games, we're playing for a championship. So to me,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want any further embarrassment for the city that
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I love. You see, the mayor, he doesn't care that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: prick because he's all about chaos. He's all about this
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: type of thing. He loves to see six thousand pro
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Hamaque people running up and down the streets. I actually
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: had tweet last night, mister mayor, this is not Uganda,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: this is not Gaza. In New York City. We don't
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: want to see people getting beat up in the street,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: especially cops. But the mayor, as you know Bill O'Reilly,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: he doesn't.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Care unless it's a soccer game, right the right. So
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: if a Muslim nation advances in the World Cup, he's
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: going to be doing cartwheels out there. You know. I
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: don't know if this is possible, but I would just
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: arrest the mayor for thirty days. Is that possible? The
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: World Cup is over? Have loser the World Cup too.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I know that's built into the soccer culture. But as
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: far as the Knicks are concerned, I mean, they're winning
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: on all fronts now.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Their owners should be delirious with joy. Uh and these
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: little nitpick things. I know, come on, we'll play Championship
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Central Bark and you're not standing on thirty first treet.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I think you can live with that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I think so too. So I got a buddy. His
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: name is Russ Sullivan. He served our country proudly secret service.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: His brothers all live in Breezy Point. They own this
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: really famous roast beef restaurant in Brooklyn Brennand and Carr's brother,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Michael Thomas has run for office. Brian's a cop. I mean,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: they're a great family. And he keeps texting me he's upset.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Why would President Trump continue to do interviews like he
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: did last Sunday with Kristin Walker. Now he know President
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Trump always says yes, he goes on with even Jake Topper.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Topper's a little better than the MS NOW and CNN people,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: but he's also very unpredictable these other people. He knows
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: what he's getting into. Do you think at some point,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Caitlyn Collins still, do you think at some point President
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Trump is gonna say enough is enough? No.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I had a long talk with him about this, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: it was body of the media in general and how
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: it's conducting itself in the USA. And his point of
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: view is that he wants his opinion out there, and
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: he's willing to take the wrath of the people who
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: don't like him in the media to get the opinion
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: out unfiltered. And he believes that the American people had
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: backlashed against the media so much that him just showing
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: up is a win win. It makes some kind of
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: sense because there is a war between the executive branch
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: President Trump and the corporate media, and Trump's winning that war.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: He's winning it. That was my column this week on
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Billoreilly dot com. And if you just look at all
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: of the casualty count in the corporate media, the Americans.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Even if you don't like Donald Trump, you know that
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: these people are trying to hurt him. That is not
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the role of a journalist. So Americans are rebelling. That's
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: a pretty good word. The ratings are low for television news.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: The people who hate Trump, like Scott Pelley, are not
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: there anymore. Colbert, He's just knocking him down one at
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a time. He's winning that war.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Although you know, Pelly was on a news magazine show
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and Colbert was on a will A late night at
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: their tap So one is Joe and Mika going to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: go with some of these other horrible people on actual
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: news networks, Well a.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Lot of them walk the line. See Welker when he
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: walked in, Trump walked in. Wilger could have asked all
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: of those questions and should have, but in a non
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: confrontational way. So I've done more interviews I thank any
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: human being on earth, and when I want something, I'll
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: come in confrontational. I mean, I tell her truth, sure,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: like if you're Barney Frank and you're lying to me,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna come down and the anvil's gonna come down.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: But most of the time I asked the question not
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: for condemnation but for information.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Right now, let me give you a good example of that.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: There are two young girls. Okay, I used to like
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: them both. Now I'm not so sure. I like one
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a lot. One is Rachel Scott. She works for ABC.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: She used to p Olympic David Mewor and Allendsey Davis does.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: But she's a big time reporter and she had a bad,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: bad scrape with President Trump in Chicago when he was
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: running a couple of years ago. You may remember that.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: And the other is Caitlyn Collins.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: In it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: They can ask the same question, the same question, and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: President Trump will not get angry with Rachel Scott. But
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I'll embarrass Caitlyn Collins every time because for some reason,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I know you like her. I don't, and I was
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: fundly with her. I try to help her. I would
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: text her and say, Caitlin, take it easy every now
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and then tell me he looks good. Then cloud him
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: about Iran. But you can't walk in there every time
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and look to fight with this guy at every opportunity.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Rachel and Caitlyn can ask the same question, but Caitlyn's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: in trouble every time because she doesn't get it. You
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: can't be that way every single time.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: And it's answer the fact that he objects to most.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: So what they do, and what MS. Collins does, is yeah,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: they'll do a Trump and then they'll load up the
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: panel with four people who hate Trump and one person
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: who doesn't hate him so much, but who's got cape
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: over his or her mouth. So it's stacked. The deck
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: is stacked, you know when you just turn on CNN
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: or MS or whatever it is and you look at
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the panel, it's stacked against Trump. That stood drives him crazy.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: And the Collins is a show every night that does that.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Rachel doesn't. No, all Rachel has is access to Trump
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: once in a while. And apparently I don't know this
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: to be true because I'm not privy do it.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: She's respectful, No, she is, and I talked to her
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: quite a bit she is the ABC White House correspondent.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure she voted for Trump. I
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: doubt she didn't. But she is respectful and she's even
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: she even likes him. I gotta be honest, And I'm
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: not sure Collins didn't like him not that long ago.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I think when people come into business contact with Trump
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: before it gets ugly, I think you like him.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I got a very interesting personal presentation. Sure, okay, and
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: it works a lot of the time. You know, he's
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: a flatterer, he flatters, and but with Collins, he believes
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: is that she's in business to make him look bad.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: And he's right and she is so I'm sure tonight
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: she's gonna be going on and on. But you know
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: he wants carg Island. He's He's telling you, Ran, I'm
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: warning you now, it's happening tonight, tonight, not sometime in
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the next couple of days, not get ready, tonight. We're
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: gonna hit you very very hard. What does that mean
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: for Iran? What does it mean for Israel? What does
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: it mean for a potential deal which is never gonna
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: happen ever, ever, ever, and if it does, I'm never
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: gonna comply. What does all this mean, all these threats
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: coming from Trump today, Well, I was trying to think of.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: A plan B just her discussion sake. So you know
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: what you just said is true. These molas are not gonna,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: you know, give up their ability to make a nuclear
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: weapon ever there. And they're not gonna cooperate. They're not
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: gonna tell Hamas and has Bulata stand down. They're not
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: gonna do any of that. So then what then what
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: You're in an impasse. They're going to continue their terrible behavior,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: they're threatening behavior, and you're the most powerful man in
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the world and the only leader who gives a fig
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: about this. The others don't care, which is shocking. Okay,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: So what do you do? And you have to basically
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: make it so painful that the country of Iran cannot function, Okay,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: and they're close to doing that. Eighty inflation in Iran,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I means people are having trouble buying bread.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: But they don't care. That's the problem. It's not the regime.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: It's not the regime. Yeah, some of them are struggling
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to go to Afghanistan, but those guys are doing fine.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: They don't care about the civilians that they start to death.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Means nothing. What good is that?
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Folks? The folks in Iran care?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: What are they gonna do?
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: They're not young to feed your children? And this is
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: what I wrote this because there was an overthrow of
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: the Shah, and I wrote about how that happened in
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: confronting evil and so what the uh? What Israel and
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: America try and do is make it almost impossible for
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the malas to function on a day to day basis.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Well, Bill, let's let but let's be practical. Okay, let's
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: say you're right, they make it impossible for the malls
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to function. Let's say the people like you just talked
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: about your hundred percent right, they want to take over
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: what they did back in nineteen seventy nine. Who's gonna
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: arm them? You can't. They already mowed down forty thousand
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: in the streets. They don't have guns. Okay, they're gonna lose.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So are we gonna arm these people? Who's gonna make
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the civilians threatening? Who?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, you're going to general strike, all right,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: So nobody does anything. You're not making any money anyway
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: because eighty percent inflation, you know, right, everything. So you've
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: got a band together and you basically have tell the
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: government nobody's working, nobody's going out of the house, nobody's
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: going to do anything, because we don't want you. You're
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: killing our families. That's how a lot of these insurrections
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: begin with a general strike. Okay, so the people are
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: basically sending a message we don't want this anymore. And
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: then as far as arms are concerned, you're at the
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: mercy of killers. You're right, that's the only reason they're there.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: That would have been overthrown a long time ago. Okay,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: but you have to organize yourself. The people have to
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: organize themselves and say, Okay, we can do this, we
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: can do that. Here's what our strategy is. Now. I
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe they're doing it because there's no reporting
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: coming out of Iran. You can't get anything in and
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: out of there. But what's likely to happen is that
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: the US and Israel are gonna really bomb all the
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: facilities in Iran that get anything to the people. They're
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: he's gonna wipe them all out, all the oil, everything,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: boom boom, boom, boom boom, and then the Iranian people
• 17:24
