  Speaker 2: America for decades, the number one best selling author nonfiction
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: author in the world for years, and he's got a
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: you know, you can watch the TV show, get the column.

• 0:25

  Speaker 2: Live and check out Bill O'Reilly's YouTube channel. Great content there,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly. How you doing.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty exhausted after that intro, Simone. I didn't know
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I was doing all that.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not only that, you've been in the middle of
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: combat before, and then Saturday night, you're standing in the
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Washington Hilton ballroom. You were right near those gunshots, weren't you.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was right at the back door, and I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: heard those gunshots pretty clearly and looked up the escalator
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: that's the only way down into the ballroom, and I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: knew there was a frank is going on upstairs. But
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: everybody dove under the table. You know, in hindsight, I
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: did not dive under the table. I wish I had
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I would have been there with Wolf Blitzer. Maybe we
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: could have had a chat. And he was deeply embedded
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: under the table. You know, I never for one second
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: thought I was going to hit the carpet. You know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it's a story. You got to see the story. And
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: then it happens so rapidly because after the gunshots couldn't
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: have been more than twenty seconds with the Secret Service
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: con barreling through the doors and down the aisle to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: whisk President Trump away. So I hope everybody enjoyoid themselves
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: under the table.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Well, now, but you were a war correspondent in the
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: middle of the Falkland's battles. You were in the middle
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: covering riots. But so you're a trained war correspondent. But
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: if you're a TV anchor from MS now you've never
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: been through that. So I guess that's why they were
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: under the table. They didn't know what else to do.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I just don't think I'm smart enough to go into
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the table. That's my son said to me, So you're
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: going to get your head balloon off. I said, Look,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I've been trying to do it for fifty years, so anyway,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I don't I'm making fun of the people who hit
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the ground, but they did the right thing. Yeah, you
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: want to get out of the fire zone, But my
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: first instinct is always to cover the story.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, just explained to people that ballroom the way
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: it's set up. The tables are crammed together like you can't. Yeah,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you can barely walk between them. It's tough to get
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: out of that room.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Two thousand people in the ballroom, three thousand people upstairs
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in the hotel rooms, five thousand all together. Nobody can
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: control a crowd like that. Nobody. This was my I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: think sixth dinner that I went to, And you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I never really said, like some people did, well the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: security is this or that. I thought it was pretty
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: well designed. That guy had no chance to get down
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a stairway into the ballroom none, So he's alone, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: he had to know that if he cased the place.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: The news is no way that he was going to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: get down into the main lobby and then get down
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: an escalator. Whether we're eighteen checkpoints with secret Service in
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: US marshals, there's no way it could happen. But he
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: wanted to inject a terrifying scenario. He did.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but would you agree there's no way to ever
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: hold that event in a hotel with people.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: That will never happen again and then also get trumps
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: ballroom billed. Yeah, because it's too risky. Now there's just
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: too many crazy people all over the place, and there
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: are and my theory of social media is responsible for
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: most of that, or much of it, but it's exacerbated
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: by television and you know, crazy idea logs all over
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the place, not just on the left, but that's the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: primary melting pot for them right now.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, with that ballroom, you know, the President says, well,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the East Room, you can only get to one hundred
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and forty. This will do two thousand people. Has he
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: thought about you also have to have parking spaces for
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: two thousand cars. I don't think he thought about that part,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: did he?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Well, are you talking about the White Room at the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: White House? Yeah, now you get there's no parking. You
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: gotta walk it. So you want to go to the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: White Houses, no parking, You get out of your uber
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: or wherever you're going and you walk in. So don't
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to worry about that. There was parking at the hotel
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: underneath it. But I don't believe that was a fact
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that this guy got dropped off from the train station.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: He went from Chicago to DC on the train, got
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: off the train, lugged his gear, checked into the hotel
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a day before, and you know, obviously it was planned out,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: but it was pretty poorly planned out.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: So half an hour after the gunshots, what was going
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: on the bottom? Were people still there? And when did
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you leave?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I left after I couldn't get any more information because
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I had befriended a US marshall who was giving me
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: pretty good information. At the point I went along the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: News Nation, their correspondence were on the air. I didn't
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: want to hot shot it, uh so I gave them
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the info that I had. So I was there, I
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: would say about twenty minutes watching journalist steel wine off
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the table, which they did. They absolutely did. And uh
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: then everybody filed out and the stake and lobster was
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: donated to almost I guess food places, which is which
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: is fine, But the whole thing was surrealed to a
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: lot of people. In fact, they got a follow up
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: call the next day from News Nation and he goes,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: are you're okay? I said, Look, I spent time in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: el Salvador Jungles. This wasn't even close to that. Okay,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I'm fine, but thanks for asking.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's change subjects. Bill O'Reilly. Jimmy Kimmel, you're the
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: chairman of Disney. What would you do? Would you take
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: him off the air?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You know the first time that Kimmel got into this
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: kind of trouble with Charlie Kirk and I cut him
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a little slack, and I was wrong in doing that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: The guy's just a hater. So my question is to Disney,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: not to Jimmy Kimmel. Why is he on the air.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: So if you had a conservative, a right winger every
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: night spouting hate against somebody on the left, you think
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: that person be on the air. No, yeah, okay, So
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I'd like an explanation from Disney why this man is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: on the air. Not funny, not a satirist. He's just
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: there to mean the president in the Office of the Presidency.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: That's all he's there to do. He's got a very
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: small audience, less than two million. Okay, Why is he
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: there for what reason? Disney? I'm asking Disney, and they
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: don't have a reason. I mean, this has hurt their business,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so what the deuce are you doing now. I'm not
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a big censorship guys. You know, people thrown off the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: air because they mock politicians. I mock politicians all the time.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: But this guy is not in business to mock. He's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: in business to hurt.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody put their sponsor list up, and I don't
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: believe in sponsor boycott. You shouldn't do that. But I'm
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: looking at the list. McDonald's chevy. Why are they advertising
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: on a show like that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: They bought Bogue, which in the television industry then don't
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: even know what they're buying. Yeah, they buy prime time,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: they buy late night, they buy mornings. They're not going, oh,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: let's advertise on Jimmy Kimmel. That doesn't happen. However, they
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: know they're on Jimmy Kimmel. The sponsors know, and they
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: don't care. And that's the big thing. Disney does not
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: care about this at all. If it did, Kima would
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: have been, you know, gone into Albuquerque after the Kirk thing.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: They don't care.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, big ceremonies for King Charles Dinners receptions. I
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: see all the Democrats there, Pelosi. What happened to this
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: no kings thing? They're all over slabbering all over King Charles.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: They love the King. I kind of like him. I
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: never met him, but you know, as an Irish Catholic,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: we don't we take a Jim view of the British Royalty,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. But I don't think he's a bad man.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: He's done some good environmental work. I think he's got
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: problems with his kids, as everybody does. So he's over here,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: but he's only here for one reason, and that's to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: patch up the NATO thing with Trump. That's the only
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: reason he's here, and I hope they do. We need
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the UK as our ally.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Hey Bill O'Reilly, you can go to Bill O'Reilly dot com.
