  Speaker 1: to do something that no one else can, and that's

  Speaker 2: And I just love this guy. I can never thank
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: him enough for what he's done for me.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly on this big, big day for me. Let
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: me just start by saying thank you.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Did I miss the Biden testimonial to you?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: You know, I actually have something from Biden that I
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: never play.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: But I didn't get one from Mom Donnie. He has
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: not come through yet, but you've been great.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Well, he's working on it, you know. I'm jealous. I'm,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: you know, the only award I've ever gotten. in New
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: York State was the Your Terrible Award given out by
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: The View. The View gave me the Your Terrible Award. Oh, God.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: They kicked you off.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: You can't get back on that show. And what's funny is.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: No, they won't talk to me anymore.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: And moments ago, our friend Laura Trump was on Fox
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: News talking about Stephen A. Smith, your buddy, who actually
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: was on The View defending President Trump. And the Trump
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: camp is very happy these days with Stephen A. Smith,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: who had dinner, as you know, with Kid Rock. And
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: who else was there? It was Stephen A.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Kid Rock.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, and Bill Maher had dinner with President Trump. at
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the White House a couple of days ago.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Stephen A. told me he enjoyed the hero
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: sandwich very much. And they had some Nathan's, you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: and all that. I'm sure.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: McDonald's, McDonald's. Hey, look, at the end of the day,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Stephen A. can, he's critical of President Trump, Iran, all
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that stuff. He'll never say it like I say it
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: because I'm a sycophant.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I get that. And you're not that way either. You're
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: actually a real journalist. But the truth is, Stephen A.,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: he likes Trump. I'm sorry, I think he does.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I think he respects that Trump is trying... to
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: change America in a way that benefits a lot of people,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and that's never, ever presented to by most of the media.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: In fact, The View, Stephen A., was lucky to get
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: on because they don't put on anyone that says anything
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: good about the President of the United States, which is ridiculous,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: and You know, you put somebody on, you have a
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: lively debate, maybe you use some good humor in all this.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I know it's serious. But these people, the cancel culture
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: and their blackballing, as much as they view, it's not
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: just them, it's the whole network. hierarchy. I used to
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: have no trouble getting on these shows to promote all
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: of my books, which is why we've had 20 number
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: one bestsellers. And Confronting America is not a political book.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: It's here's the problem. Here's how you solve it. I
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: can't get on these shows because I'm fair to Trump.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I'm fair to him. I'm not trying to hurt him.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: But anyway, let's get back to you. So The last
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: time I was at the Rainbow was years ago. And
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: it was funny because Bruce Blakeman's former wife is married
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to Paul McCartney. And Barbara Walters, the late Barbara Walters,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: threw a party for her. And I somehow was invited.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I have no idea because I'm never invited to anything.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So you're telling me in the same room you had
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly, Barbara Walters, Paul McCartney, and Bruce Blakeman's wife.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Yes. So McCartney is the last to arrive. You know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: he's a knight or something. I asked Barbara, I said,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: do I have to wear the helmet? No. When he
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: comes in, I have a little sword, but not a
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: big one. Me too. And I'm Irish, and I'm not
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: calling any Brit, sir. I mean, that's not happening. Not
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: going to happen, no. Right. So anyway, he comes up
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: in the elevator, and he knows who I am, McCartney,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: because he spends a lot of time here in New York,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: out in the East End, and he's more in America
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: than in Britain now. So he comes off the elevator,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: and Barber runs right over and says, Oh, Sir Paul,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: this is Bill O'Reilly. And he goes, McCartney goes, Hi, Phil. Phil.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: He didn't say Phil. He did not say Phil.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, he did. Hi, Phil. Right. Whereupon I look down
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: on him. I'm 6'4, and I go, I'm doing okay, Ringo.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: How are you doing? That's how it started. I thought
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Barbara Walters was going to have to be taken to
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: intensive care.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Well, when you said Ringo, what did he say?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: He didn't say anything.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: That's funny.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's not going to engage in a punk
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: like me. I mean, you know, I was going to
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: tell him I like Jerry and the Pacemakers more than
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the Beatles, but I didn't get around to that.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: What a great reference, Jerry and the pacemaker.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, I love Jerry and the pacemaker. But in
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: my book, Confronting America, What Has to Change, there's a
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: big chapter on McCartney and how he, President Obama, and me,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: your humble correspondent, were involved with this huge project. And
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: it's one of the greatest stories, so I hope people
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: will check it out because it's an important story and
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to show you how things work. So the Rainbow Room
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I have not been to in a while. I'm sorry
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I can't be there today. I've got to tape. whatever
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I do. I don't even know what I do anymore.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: The podcast.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I know you're everywhere.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: It's not a podcast. It's a broadcast. And then I
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: got this and that.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Didn't you tell me in a quiet moment a couple
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: of months ago, you said, Sid, I got to calm
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: down just a little bit. I got to take. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: don't see that happening. When did you mean? What year?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: What year was that? Did you mean like 2030?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: It's just that I have 60 people, six-year-old working for me.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: And we don't do a podcast where people are sitting
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: around smoking pot and sweatshirts. That's not what we're doing.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: That's Joe Rogan. That's not you.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I'm doing news of the day in
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: a way that is very clear. Clarity is everything and
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: very fair. And it's just taken off. There's almost 10
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: years we've been doing this. So I can't be at
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the Rainbow Room, but I would love to be there
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: to cause some kind of ruckus, because everybody's going to
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: be kissing your tuchus. You know that. And I would
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: probably dissent. I'd go, wait, wait, wait.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Slow down.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you really knew this guy, I mean, we'd
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: all be down at Papaya King. If you really knew him.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Well, the good thing is, the good thing is, it's
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: not all about me today. You know, there are seven
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: people getting inducted today. Your friend, Rosanna Scotto, Channel 5.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Good day, New York. Your friend from Channel 7 News,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Bill Ritter. He's going in today.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: And he's a good man.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Nice guy.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: And he's doing good work with Alzheimer's.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt bad for him.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I kill him on the air because of
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: his liberal views, but he's a nice man. And then
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you get four people from places like Glen Paul's in
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Rochester and those places where No one's ever heard of
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: these people, but they're legitimate Hall of Famers from upstate
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: New York. So I'm not the only one. There are
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: seven of us going in today, but, of course, I'm
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the biggest name.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: You know that, Bill.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Right, right. And the reason that this is important is
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: because on all of the other inductees, they will behave accordingly. Right.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: But anything could happen with you. Anything.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Anything.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're so right. You know, you're right.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: So it's, there's a little drama here. Um, I heard
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: that Joy Behar is crashing.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Oh God, no, please. Oh my God. I mean, you
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: happen to pick the one person.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's three of them on that show that
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I really despise her whoopie.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: And, uh, uh, what's the other one? She's actually sunny.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: She's not horrible looking, but she's stupid. But you picked
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the worst of all three, Bill O'Reilly.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: The worst.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: You know, that show used to be kind of fun.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: But now, I don't know. It's all liberal women. I
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: understand that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: They're not just liberal. They're really hateful people.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't like their husband and he doesn't come home.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of that stuff going on there. You know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: you can just tell. It used to be kind of fun.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I'd go over. I would, those were the days where
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Jenny McCarthy was there. Yes. You know, and it wasn't,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: It wasn't this intense, we hate Trump, we hate MAGA people.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Wasn't Barbara Walters still there, too?
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, that was the key. See, Walters was the
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: creator of the program, and when she passed, it just
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: went into chaos.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Even Rosie O'Donnell, that's Liz Hasselbeck, good call, Lewis, but
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: even Rosie O'Donnell at the beginning of that show was,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I know I'm going to sound crazy, almost likable.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Almost. Well, she's a talented comedian, Rosie, but, you know, she...
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, people don't understand. I think they
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: get bitten by advocates of Mamdami. It's like a zombie movie. Yeah.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: So you're a normal person, and all of a sudden
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: you get bitten by Mamdami's friend, and then you turn
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: into these people on The View. Yeah, that's it. Great.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Good screenplay. I'm going to start working on that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: You know, I did mean to ask you this many
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: times because.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: You are the best historical reference that anybody will ever
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: speak to.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: And I mean that. I'm just patronizing you.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: So in all the years that you've done this, this
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: new stuff and covered all these politicians, and there's been
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of really bad ones, is Mamdani the most dangerous,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the worst? Any of those, the biggest? Is he worthy
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of any of that?
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Well, he's certainly the worst as far as New York
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: City is concerned.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: And by the way, that means that you've already put him,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and I agree with you, by the way, I agree
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: with you, you've already put him ahead of a guy
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: that did eight years of damage, Bill de Blasio.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, de Blasio was like John the Baptist. Oh, he's coming.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: He's coming. Watch out. Okay. And de Blasio, he was bad,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: but Mandani is what I call a true believer.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Evil believer.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: And if you look at his eyes, that's always the
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: key to indicating where people are. If you look at
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: his eyes, this is a fanatic. This is a man
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: who wants no part of traditional New York. He's not
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: spreading the news. He's not coming today. He's not singing
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Frank Sinatra songs. Sorry, Episcopal. This is a guy... who
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: wants communism in New York City and in the United States.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: And then you hear, oh, no, blah, blah, blah. And
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: you look at him and you go, if you look
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: at his statements, if a human being says, I want
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: to control the means of production, he is a communist. Yeah. Okay?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: That's what that is. There's no debating it. Oh, I'm
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: a socialist. Oh, yeah. Okay, fine. So by that measure,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Mamdami is going to do everything he can in the
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: next three years, everything he can, to punish achievement. That's
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: the hallmark of communism. You punish those who have been successful.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Punish them. take their things, overtax them, let miscreants run
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: wild so they can get hurt. That is what communists do.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: He fits every single category. So de Blasio would just
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: run around, his wife would tell him, I want some bread.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Go get to the store. And the boss would waddle
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: down to whatever store was closest. That's not Mandami. No.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Would the boss go to the gym?
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: So the question then becomes, and you've been saying for
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: a long time, you know, you don't.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Really know because it's far off. It's not far off,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: but 12 days away. Will Mamdani be celebrating in 12 days?
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: It's a very tough call because so many people, in
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: New York and all across the country don't live in
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the real world anymore. So your parents and my parents,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: they lived in the real world. They accepted the fact
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: that they were going to have to work hard. They
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: were going to have to pay their bills. There was
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: an attitude after we defeated the Axis powers in Japan
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: that America was and remains the world's guideline, and they
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: want to participate in that. That's gone now. It's gone.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: And so you have people going to vote, many of
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: them cajoled to do so, told who to vote for,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: bused to the polls, or their ballot is filled out
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: in advance by someone else. You have all of this
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: in play. Now, just on the merits, I mean, Blakeman
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: has kicked her butt.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm not coming at it from a party point
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: of view at all. I'm coming at it from a
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: journalist's point of view, is that what's your message and
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: how are you delivering it? And when the governor of
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: New York State is confronted with spending $ 8 billion with
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: a B dollars on illegal migrants and has no answer
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: to why that happened or where the blanket money is,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, you've got a huge problem here.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: But here's the bigger problem.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: If you walk in the rainbow room, you walk around
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: and say, how much money did Kathy Hochul allot to
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: foreign nationals who should not be here? People aren't going
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: to know.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: That's the point.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: So you just laid out something that should be enough
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: to be a disqualifier for her to lose. And yet,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: yet she's still winning in most polls. And she's still
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the favorite.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: And odds are. in a state that's three to one Democrat,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: she's going to have a pretty good chance. And you're right.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Bruce is killing her.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And you just said something again that is really rough.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And it's one of many bad things she's done. But
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: yet there's a chance she wins. And when she does win,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: how am I supposed to feel? I know I'm a publican,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: a magum, all those things. But how am I supposed
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to feel living in a state where they continue to
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: vote for people who do nothing but destroy it? How
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: am I supposed to feel?
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Well, you kind of just have to hunker down and
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: do the best you can do and continue to put
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: your message out there. That's all you can do in
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: a democracy. You can't force people to see either way.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: And these polls, the reason these polls are so skewed
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: toward Governor Hochul is because they do take the 3-1
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: registration and pull off that. So Quinnipiac, which is a
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: good school in Connecticut, their polling agency, they don't have 40,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: 50 people in there gathering information. They've got three or
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: four people, and they're going down the voting rolls, and
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: they're seeing most New Yorkers are Democrats, so they poll
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: most New Yorkers that way. So you can't win. But
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I'm going to not predict because I can't do that
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: at this point because I don't know about turnout. But
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you there are a lot of
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: disenchanted New Yorkers, particularly upstate. And not Manhattan. That's a
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: machine in there. Chester Arthur is responsible for that machine.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: If we could dig him up, I would beat him up.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Although I will tell you that the very famous actress...
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: who hates Trump and is a big-time Democrat, big-time, Debra
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Messing has hopped on the Bruce Blakeman train, very public
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: about it, and she says that she's got other Democrat friends.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Who live in Manhattan, the worst of the Libs, the
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: worst of the Dems. They're voting for Bruce.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: And they can't let it be known. Because if they
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: let it be known, they're going to lose work. And
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Messing is all about Israel. That's what tilts her into
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: the Blakeman category because she's fed up with the anti-Semitism
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: that never should have been allowed to foster the way. Remember,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: these are city schools where this stuff is percolating. And
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: it goes right down to third, fourth grade now. So
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: this is a dangerous situation. But I think I agree
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: with you, and you know my legs shake when I
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: say those words. I agree with Sid. My legs shake.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: I have to sit down. That the enthusiasm meter is
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: all Blakeman's way. It's all his way. And so if
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: there are enough people outside of New York City, he'll win.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: But the block, the voting block in New York City,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: the people who want the communism, who want the government
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: to control everything they do, to give them money every
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: month in many, many different forms, to punish achievement, a
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: lot of jealousy. A lot of jealousy. You walk down
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Park Avenue and you're looking at these, you know, silver
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: spooners up there. Don't think that the guy working in,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: you know, the janitorial department, don't think that he's real
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: happy with this. Right.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: No, you're right. He's not. No, you're right.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: You're right. You're always right.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: You've got to do what's best. for your family. It's
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: not best to create a family of dependents. That's not
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: good for the children or your wife or your uncle
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: or anyone. Because there are pathways to succeed in this country,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: or else 20 million illegal aliens took a wrong left
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: heading to Honduras. I thought we were in Texas or
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: El Paso. They ain't going there.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: No, they're not.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Okay? They're coming here. They're coming here.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: It's true. And so all logic and all history... points
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: to the fact that if New Yorkers want to get
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: back to the things that have made New York and
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: city and state strong, they are not going to do
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: it with this communist crew. Now, Hochul's not a communist.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: She's just weak.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she is weak. She's just weak. She's also boring.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: How many times in history have we seen that? Go ahead,
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: do whatever you want. Yeah. You know, she's not going
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: to talk because, oh, I might lose some votes in Elmira.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: You know, when was the last time that Kathy Hochul
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: made a righteous stand on anything? Never. Never. You know,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sitting here. I mean, should I root
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: for the Islanders or the Rangers? I don't know. You know, like, lady,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: just do something.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: You know, but no, she's a machine Democrat. That's what
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: she is. The Cuomo machine, Andrew, all right, picked her
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: out because they thought this woman's not going to cause
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: any trouble. She's going to do exactly what we want
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: her to do. And then, boom, she's the governor.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: And maybe the governor again. Listen, again, I'm going to
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: go back to what I said at the top of
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: this conversation. I I have a lot of people to thank.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. But man, Bill, you're at
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the top of the list. This show started gaining credibility
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and started getting big ratings when you came on this
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: show every week. And I really believe that you are
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the best of all time.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I really believe that. And our relationship, which has now
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: gone above and beyond radio, we're legitimately good friends, which
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: I know is terrifying for you.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Has been a blessing for me. So I celebrate this afternoon.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: With you, Bill O'Reilly, you mean that much to me.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I love you. Thank you so much.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Well, you should be very proud of yourself, number one.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: And I'm just serious now. You should be very proud
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: of yourself for overcoming the obstacles that sometimes are self-induced,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: but you overcame them. But you should know, and I
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: know you're going to cry up there, and I'm going
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: to have to come up with a stick and hit you.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: You should be very proud of your family. Because it
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: ain't easy getting up at 3 in the morning or 2.30
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: or whatever the blank you do and trudge in there
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: to WABC five days a week and do four hours
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: of radio. And your family is about as supportive a
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: family as I've ever seen.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you. They are.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Thank you. They are, and they love you. Danielle does,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: That doesn't matter in the sense that I don't want
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: to get on Danielle's wrong side. That's not a good
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: place to be. You know her well. Right, but there's
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: an extension of people that are very proud of you
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: in this rainbow room thing. And if you don't mind,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: I'd like a little silverware if you can on the
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: way out.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I'll see what I can swipe for you on the
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: way out for sure.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going to silverware something. It'll look great out there
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: in Montauk. Bill, you're great. Hilarious again today.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Funny, informative. You're the absolute best ever. I love you.
