Bill O'Reilly
Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Thank you for tuning in. And we're going to talk about tariffs. Surprised? So even people who don't have stocks and they don't have any skin in the game, they're starting to get a little nervous. And those of us who are invested in our capitalist system, painful it is because it's uncertain. We don't know. We have no control over it. We work hard for our money. We trust the system somewhat. We put our money into companies we feel are going to be prosperous. And then we see the tariff war, which we didn't know was even going to happen, bang us out of nowhere and you're like shell shocked. Even somebody like me who's seen it all, you know, it's annoying. Now the first thing you do when you're annoyed is you blame somebody. Well, it's Trump. He did it and Trump did it. Nobody else. Congress didn't do it. There's nobody inside the Trump administration who could possibly have done it. J.D. vance didn't do it was Trump who did it. He is a true believer. He believes that he is going to win the tariff war and bring a whole new level of prosperity to this country. That's what he believes. He's putting his entire legacy on the line for that. Now, if you watch my daily TV broadcast, the no spin news, I get involved with that. I'm not going to do that here because this analysis is more general and I pick up things that other people might not want to pick up. But I just want to tell you two things. If you are apprehensive about the stock market, that's natural. I think it's going to work out. But I don't know. It's just my feeling that when we saw the EU come in and say, you know, maybe we don't need any tariffs on Monday. That's a good thing right now. Will they carry through? I don't know. You always take the good news, a little bit of good news, push forward. I think it'll work out. If I thought we're going into a depression and stocks are going to fall off the cliff, I tell you, that's What I do. That's why I'm successful. I don't care about political parties. I'm going to tell you what I believe is happening and why I think. But again, it's not in stone. So there was a lot of chatter on the foolish television networks, and they're all foolish to some degree. They really are. But on Fox News, there is a person, I don't know her. Bhatia Ungar Sargon. She is a writer for the Free Press, which is an Internet media company. I've checked it, and it doesn't look like it's ideological like most of these Internet things are. It just looks like they have a bunch of smart people. They do. Doing analysis. But when I heard Ms. Sargon say something, it caught my attention. Roll the tape.

Bhatia Ungar Sargon
It's not just the destruction of the economic vitality of the working class, but there has been a spiritual decimation that has come that a crisis in masculinity. Because we shipped jobs that gave men who work with their hands for a living and rely on brawn and physicality off to other countries to build up their middle class. And then we imported millions and millions of illegals to work in construction, to work in. Yes, manufacturing. What's left here to work in? Landscaping, to work in janitorial services, to work in a whole bunch of jobs that used to give men access to the American dre.

Bill O'Reilly
Well, here's why that's kind of loopy. All right, what she just said. So she's saying that there is an attack on masculinity caused by outside forces in the United States. But the companies that moved abroad taking manufactured jobs, the government, our society, we can't stop them. This is a free country. So if you're making stuff and you can make it for 50% less in El Salvador, you ship down there, Trump, and the government can't go. You can't. All they can do is put tariffs on, which is what they're doing. But it's not like a design to say, hey, we're going to take all the work away from the men. You know, the hand work, the strong work. Who's we? These are individual decisions. That's number one. Okay. Number two, importing. We don't import workers. We allow them to work here if industries need the work. So there is no doubt that American men do not want to do farm work. Generally speaking, they do not. So migrant labor is needed. And the same thing in a lot of other jobs. Americans don't want them. They're low paying. They're Hard, backbreaking, hot, whatever it may be. If you are an articulate person and you go into a landscaping company on Long island, where I live, and you go, hey, Larry, I'd like to work for you for $25 an hour or whatever, I'm fairly articulate and smart. I'll do a good job, and I like the labor. You're going to get hired in two seconds. Two seconds, okay. When can you start? They want you. So it's not like, back door, let's get everybody from Honduras in here illegally. That's not what happened. What happened was that President Biden, for reasons that are still unknown, said, I'm not stopping anybody. You all come. Why? Why did you do that? Created unbelievable chaos, crime, fiscal irresponsibility. And there's Biden. Never, never did he give an answer. But it wasn't like Congress said, yeah, okay, let's get all these people in here. The Democrats didn't oppose it, of course, because they want to be noble. They want a virtue signal. But what that woman on Fox Sargon was basically implying is this is all a big design to drive down masculinity in America. Look, when I hear stuff like that, it's not ideological. It's like, no, masculinity in America is not what it used to be. I think everybody knows that. But what it used to be wasn't so great, okay? A lot of violence attached to it, a lot of unfairness attached to it. This rampant masculinity. It was. Let's tell the truth. And now it's been overcompensated. Now, you know little boys who should be allowed to run around and play guns and cowboys and Indians and everything like that. Now they're. Now, that's wrong. Now you're downgrading masculinity because you're a fool. But it's not by design. I raised my son to be a man, and I know what it takes, and I pass it along and thank God. And I mean that literally. The boy is now a young man and he has, you know. Oh, he's going to do great things in his life, and he understands the virtues of masculinity. There are plenty of them. There's a song by the Four Tops, the Keeper of the Castle. If you've never heard it, it was a minor hit for them. Great group, by the way. Love the Four Tops. Keeper of the Castle. Listen to it. That just nails what masculinity is all about. It had nothing to do with the government or this kind of conspiratorial oh. They brought these people in and they took these jobs out like that. Not what it was about. And if you are really a man, there are rules for that road, okay? There are. And I just. I actually listened to that song last night, Keeper of the Castle by the Four Tops, and they really nailed it. So, anyway, I thought you'd find that a little bit interesting that the tariffs are now being tied to masculinity. I know when I heard it, I went, whoa, that's pretty interesting. But, no, that's not what's happening.
