Date: February 4, 2026
Host: Bill O’Reilly
Special Guest: John McLaughlin (Pollster)

Overview

This episode tackles a collection of political flashpoints, focusing on what O’Reilly frames as failures tied to left-wing governance: deaths tied to policies in NYC and Minneapolis, escalating confrontations between local and federal authorities in Seattle, and the ongoing saga involving the Clintons’ connection to Jeffrey Epstein. There’s also a deep dive into polling data and the difficulties Republicans face ahead of the midterm elections, highlighted in a discussion with GOP pollster John McLaughlin.

Key Discussion Points

1. O’Reilly’s Conversation with President Trump & China “Singham” Money Scandal

• [00:00–04:40] O’Reilly discusses a direct call from President Trump regarding No Spin News reporting that a man named Neville Singham is allegedly funneling money from Shanghai into radical left nonprofit organizations in the U.S., fueling violence in cities like Minneapolis and Portland.
  • O’Reilly admits he normally wouldn’t share internal reporting, but did so because of the seriousness and presidential request:

    “My job is not only to analyze the news honestly...but it’s to look out for you.” (A, 02:05)

  • He asserts this reporting is unique and unchallenged.
• Brief mentions that Iran is “heating up” after a U.S. Navy attack on an Iranian drone, and that international deals (such as India ending its Russian oil purchases) could dramatically impact geopolitics.

2. Deaths in NYC and Minneapolis: Policy Failures, "Death Courtesy of the Left"

• [05:00–09:32] O’Reilly’s “Talking Points Memo” focuses on what he calls “death on the left,” highlighting policy decisions by newly elected mayors and their deadly consequences:
  • NYC:
    • Mayor Ma’am Donnie, aged 34, blamed for 16 deaths (13 by hypothermia) during a record cold snap, due to not forcing the homeless into shelters as past administrations did.
    • He plays the mayor’s response (B, 06:14), dismissing the direct link between policy and deaths, then insults it:

      “That’s just gibberish... Answer the question. Why didn’t you take all these people in?” (A, 06:39)

    • O'Reilly calls it “neglect” if not a crime.
  • Minneapolis:
    • Two deaths (Renee Good and Alex Preddy) happened when locals interfered with ICE activity, which O’Reilly ties directly to city/state officials refusing to back ICE:

      “If Walls and Fry...had done the right and legal thing and provided protection for ICE...the two people who are dead would be alive today.” (A, 07:32)

    • He frames these as typical results in “totalitarian left-wing” places.

3. International Affairs Update

• [10:20–12:30]
  • Briefly covers the U.S.-Colombia relationship, mainly narcotics control, and speculates on a new cooperation on drug trafficking.
  • Emphasizes the major diplomatic impact of India shutting off Russian oil imports (and media’s lack of coverage for “favorable” Trump foreign policy moves).

4. Midterms & The Polling War: Interview with John McLaughlin

• [12:45–22:25]
  • Poll Contradictions:
    • O’Reilly compares dire numbers for Trump in mainstream polls (e.g., Pew: 37% approval) versus far rosier results from GOP-friendly pollster McLaughlin (Trump 50% approval among likely voters).
    • Quote:

      “That is the biggest discrepancy I’ve seen in quite some time.” (A, 14:11)

  • McLaughlin’s View:
    • He blasts Pew and similar polls as structurally biased, oversampling Democrats and underrepresenting Republicans:

      “They’ve been cooking the books...since 2016.” (E, 16:00) “You could be interviewing illegal immigrants for all I know.” (E, 16:44)

    • Says polls of “adults” (not likely voters) are misleading and intentionally drive negative headlines to hurt Trump.
    • Argues only in the later months (September onward) do polls truly reflect midterm realities.
    • Advises GOP to run a contrast campaign, hammering Democrats on public safety and affordability.
  • Immigration Issues:
    • Majority in McLaughlin poll supports deporting criminal migrants (87%), even deporting all migrants (62%).
    • Points out contradiction in voters largely supporting ICE’s core mission, but city officials defunding/ordering against ICE.
  • Healthcare Costs:
    • Rising cost is a threat to both parties, may tilt midterms, especially with insurance spikes impacting voters.

5. Seattle Mayor’s Anti-ICE Directive and Police Pushback

• [22:25–25:13]
  • O’Reilly castigates new Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's directive limiting ICE in the city, calling her an open communist and her order (banning ICE operations on city property and spending $4 million on immigrant support) “unconstitutional.”

    “She wants to terrorize ICE. This is what Katie Wilson, Mayor of Seattle, wants to do.” (A, 23:04)

  • Plays pushback from Mike Solon, President of the Seattle Police Officers Guild:

    “Toothless virtue signaling. Rhetoric like this has already caused two people their lives...The concept of putting two armed law enforcement agencies against each other is ludicrous.” (A, 24:13)

    • O’Reilly praises Solon for refusing to make the police “political pawns” and calls for locals to resist socialist mayors.

6. The Clintons & Epstein Probe—Testimony Scheduled

• [25:14–26:21]
  • Both Clintons are set to testify before a closed-door session investigating the Epstein scandal (Feb 26–27).
  • O’Reilly says Bill Clinton’s social relationship and Hillary’s business ties (via donations to the Clinton Foundation) are the focus.

    “Bill Clinton obviously had a social relationship with Epstein. No doubt about it. What is the extent of it? That’s what they’re going to ask him.” (A, 26:09)

  • Anticipates little concrete information due to partisan leaks.

7. Super Bowl History & Joe Namath Teaser

• [26:22–end]
  • O’Reilly previews his upcoming special with NFL legend Joe Namath, relating Super Bowl III anecdotes.
  • Tone becomes lighter and more personal:

    “I love Namath. I just think he’s the greatest guy. He’s 82. He’s become a very good friend of ours.” (A, 28:34)

  • Ends with a promise of more coverage and social media interaction at the Super Bowl.
