  Speaker 2: Well, don't you get him wrapped at the store. Don't
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: you get him?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not rapping. I actually hired people to do that
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: because I can't rap anyway. Even if I could rap,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I can't rap. But you know, it's a crazy time,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: as you know, this is our last shot I think
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: before Christmas. Yeah right, yeah, we're fun.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't decided yet.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Oh last minute kind of.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Guy, definitely always so, well will you be around Christmas?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: You're going away here?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I like to stay in here. You know. That's
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a tradition for my family in Levittown. We had great
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Christmases there when I was growing up. Everybody in the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: neighborhood got together, and it was a much lighter time
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and history than it is now, that's for sure. But
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I kind of extended that and so we'll be on
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Long Island and hopefully everybody will be happy.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, I mean your message of the day. You
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: go to Bill O'Reilly dot com every day there's a
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: message of the day. But you're talking about Trump You've
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: known forever. I've known this guy from millions of years.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I just got used to it. I think you haven't
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: gotten used to it yet because you said I don't
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: understand why he likes to walk on the wild side.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: That's him, that's part of him.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's a calculation that you have to make.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And I think the President made a mistake with the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Rob Ryiner stuff and not so much a Vanity Fair stuff.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: That was just a foolish move. Why bother, Why not
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: give the time to Mark Simon or Bill O'Reilly. You
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: know who's going to give you a fair assessment. Why
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: do you want to go to Vanity Fair out in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Hollywood where they all hate you and you know they're
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: not going to write anything good about you. I don't
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: understand that. But there comes a point, and I know
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: this to be true, where Donald Trump wants his legacy
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and history to be cemented in a positive way. Yeah,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and he has got an amazing story to tell. Nobody's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: ever done what he's done as far as getting elected,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: as far as trying to solve as many problems as
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: he's taken on. He's got a good story tell. But
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: it goes over the cliff with the Rob Reiner stuff,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and that is yes, you're correct, he's playing buoyant. He's
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: going to say he wants to say, and all that
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: has worked for him. It has all worked for him.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: But now he's in a different stage of his life.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to get across when we speak. Now,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you've got to start cementing your legacy, and the first
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: step to that is winning the midterm elections next year.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: If you lose, your legacy is going to be damaged.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, of course, you're one hundred percent right, totally right.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: But again, I've known the guy for millions of years
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: and I've been hearing people say this forever and I
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: can't tell you why, but this is what he does.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: He enjoys it. It's like when you see a normal,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: distinguished guy, and every night he goes out and gets
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: drunk out of his mind. Why does he do it?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, look, Trump likes the action. Yeah, okay,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: he likes just like somebody goes to casino. He's betting
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: fifteen football games. He likes the action, and he knows
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: when he throws something out on social media that the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: next day or two is going to be dominated by
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: what he says, and that engages him. Absolutely true, but
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: there is a selective process. You're can have the action
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: without hurting yourself. And that's what I'm trying to get across.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're right, but I'm you know, It's like I
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: love to watch the football game and then there's a
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: guy next to me who bet fortune on it and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: he's having an art attack during the game. I don't
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: know how you can enjoy that, but there are guys
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: that enjoy that. And that's Trump.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You like it. No, I mean, look, I'm not a psychiatrist.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: All I'm doing is trying to say, look, and this
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: is my whole career, more than fifty years. And you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I was at a media party then. I never go
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to these things, but Dan Abrams through it and he's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a good guy, and so I did go. And you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I'm the icon no, a last man standing five year old,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: fifty years in this business. And the reason I've lasted
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: so long and continue to do well is because I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: want the best for the country. That is what I do.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And I clearly spell out why I say what I say.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: And I think that Donald Trump has been a very
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: good president policy wise, you know. And I understand his
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: anger because the same thing happened to me at a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: much more limited thing. But I've been attacked. You know,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: thirty out of the fifty years, first twenty were being
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a reporter. So I was attack being a reporter once
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I came into the news analysis area. My family, me, everybody,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and you are furious when that happens and bitter, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: that is what Donald Trump is consumed by these people.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Just yesterday, the Grass Leaders Center from Iowa puts out
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that there's no probable cause to raid Marlago for the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: top secret documents. Then they did it anyway, and nobody
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: will be held to account. Well, he drives Trump nuts,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and it should He's a human being. I got a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: list of people that I like to visit and I
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: will't be bringing Christmas presents to him, but I'm a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: little bit more restrained.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Well, but that's you, and you've always done a great show.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: You don't cross the limb. But there I've seen other hosts,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: and you know who some of them are. They've always
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: got to cross the line. They've always got to do
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: something outrageous. They've always got to get in a little trouble.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: They enjoy it, but that's because they don't have anything else.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: They got and die on controversy. That's when they make
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: their money. But Trump's got other stuff and that's when
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: we speak. That's what tried to across to him because
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: he knows that, you know, I wroke in fronting the presidents.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't rank him, but you can clearly
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: see which presidents were successful and which presidents weren't. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: then Trump inherent's the second worst president in our history.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden, all of that mess he has to deal with,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and he's dealt with it pretty effectively. But you really
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: need Rob Reiner. You don't need any You can be
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: in the action without hurting yourself. That is my message.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: That's a good message, but it's not the only guy
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen change maybe Howard Stern, who was, you know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: always getting himself into trouble and then a couple of
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: years ago, decided, I'm going to clean all that up.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be woke, I'm going to be That's the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: only one of those guys I've ever seen switch and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: actually change.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: And I don't think Trump has to change. He just
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: has to modify a little bit. I think it would
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: be bad for him to change because he gets a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: lot done by sheer force of personality, by just his presence.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: So why would you change that. I wouldn't, but you
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you have a selective menu of things that you can
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: tweet about, and when somebody's throat is cut, I don't
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: know if I would go into that precinct.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: No, of course I wouldn't either. But and he should modify,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: but let's not hold our breath waiting for it. I
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: don't think it's good.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Look, it's not my job to be his campaign manager.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not Colonel Tom Parker with help us, Okay. I'm
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: looking out for the country. And he's a strong president
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: who's done a lot of and a lot of Americans
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: will never admit it because they believe what they want
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to believe. But he has. He's brought a lot of
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: different approaches to solving problems and has been successful more
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: than he's not been successful. So you don't want to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: blunt that, I don't think, but creating unnecessary barriers for yourself.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: But you're right. I mean again, I mean I can
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: only do what I can do. I can talk to
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: guys like you. I can do the No Spin News,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I can go on News Nation, I can write my books.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I can't do any more than that. But I am
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I have to tell the truth. I'm compelled to tell it,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and that I think has worked for me.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Well again, you're not wrong, You're not wrong. But it's
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: always going to be this way with him. Hey, by
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the way, Christmas book is a great crit present. You
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: don't have to go in the store and look for
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: a book. Is a perfect present your people.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know from your life. In this very troubling
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: age where evil seems to be overwhelming us, people need
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to know about how it assembles, how it gains power,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and how what you can do as a human being
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a good person to mitigate it. Because as much as
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: evil in a Bondai beach or Brown University. It's in
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: your neighborhood and sometimes in your own family, as the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: reins found out, and when you see it, you can't
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: turn away. That's the theme of the book. But what
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I've done is to save people money, because I know
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: money is tight with the insurance payments you got to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: make and we all have to make, and the food.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I put all my books together, fifteen of them, thirteen Killing,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: two Confronting for a very very reasonable price on Bill
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: O'Reilly dot com. You give those books away as presents,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you will save yourself hundreds of dollars by doing that.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And these books are in demand. People want them. Sound
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: like a tie or something, you know, if you give
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to me a tie, because in a droid of a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: see it again. No, So you know, we're all we
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: can make a lot more money than we make. But
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not in business to do that. I'm in business
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to try, as I said, to make the country a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: little bit better, a little bit more comfortable.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's a great Christmass. You get one book,
