Release Date: July 26, 2025
Host: Bill O'Reilly

1. Epstein Case Developments

Timestamp: [00:22 – 02:00]

The episode begins with Bill O'Reilly discussing the recent sentencing of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate, who was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for sex trafficking in Florida and the Virgin Islands. O’Reilly expresses skepticism about the Justice Department's intentions to re-interview Maxwell, stating:

“She did it. She deserves it. 20 years. So now the Justice Department wants to re-interview her. I don't have any objection to that... But I'm not expecting much here.” (00:28)

He criticizes the Trump administration's efforts to downplay the Epstein story, attributing it to partisan motives aimed at damaging former President Donald Trump. O’Reilly argues for the release of grand jury transcripts to restore public faith in the Justice Department, advocating for transparency by redacting non-criminally involved names.

2. Media Bias and Its Impact on Politics

Timestamp: [02:00 – 16:00]

The core discussion revolves around the alleged left-wing bias in corporate media and its implications for American politics. O’Reilly asserts that Donald Trump has significantly undermined the corporate left-wing media, stating:

“The corporate media has fallen apart and Donald Trump is responsible... One man, Donald Trump, never been done before, never even been close before.” (04:00)

He contends that this shift will have substantial effects on the upcoming elections, as Democrats will no longer have the unyielding support of left-wing media as they did with previous leaders like Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Stephen Colbert's Firing: O’Reilly highlights the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS as a prime example of the media's transformation:

“Colbert is canceled... He doesn’t last till May, by the way... The Colbert show loses 40 million.” (06:08)

He criticizes CBS for financial losses and ideological shifts, suggesting that the network is moving away from liberal programming to more conservative control under Skydance’s ownership.

Impact on Other Networks: The discussion extends to other major networks like NBC and ABC, with O’Reilly asserting:

“There isn't one traditional conservative commentator to be seen on the entire network.” (29:43)

He laments the absence of conservative voices, attributing it to a deliberate cultural shift within these organizations.

3. Predictions on CBS and Corporate Media's Future

Timestamp: [16:00 – 30:00]

O’Reilly forecasts significant changes within CBS and other major networks:

• CBS Acquisition by Skydance: He predicts that Skydance’s acquisition will lead to a purge of liberal voices and the introduction of more conservative commentators. O’Reilly states:

  “There's no difference between CBS, NBC, and ABC. It’s the same across the board.” (29:41)

• Future of The View: O’Reilly speculates on the restructuring of "The View," anticipating the departure of key figures like Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar to realign the show with more conservative viewpoints.

• Corporate Media's Ideological Shift: He criticizes network CEOs for prioritizing ideological conformity over profitability, arguing that this has led to the demise of traditional network television.

4. Insights from Brett Talman and Bernard Goldberg

Timestamp: [12:40 – 36:00]

Brett Talman on the Epstein Case: Brett Talman, a former U.S. attorney and head of the Talman Group, shares his analysis of the Epstein case. He remains pessimistic about the Justice Department’s move to re-interview Maxwell, predicting:

“I think we're going to be underwhelmed if they do release the transcript.” (12:40)

Talman anticipates that the grand jury transcript will primarily focus on Epstein’s and Maxwell’s misconduct without revealing unexpected revelations.

John Brennan, Comey, and Schiff Under Scrutiny: The conversation shifts to other political figures like John Brennan, James Comey, and Adam Schiff. Talman supports O’Reilly's stance that Brennan and Comey may face legal troubles due to their roles in the FBI and CIA, emphasizing the need for grand jury subpoenas to hold them accountable.

“I would, yes, absolutely. I think you're the first one I've heard say this, but right now I would be focusing on Schiff...” (16:45)

Bernard Goldberg on Media Bias: Bernard Goldberg, a former CBS correspondent and author of "Bias," discusses the pervasive liberal bias in corporate media. He recounts the backlash he faced after exposing this bias at CBS, where he was labeled a traitor.

“Bias... was a wake up call. It was a warning shot about liberal bias and the harm it causes.” (28:14)

Goldberg criticizes the lack of diversity of opinions within major networks and predicts that conservative voices like Bill O’Reilly’s are marginalized intentionally. He expresses doubt that current network management will embrace more conservative perspectives under new ownership.

5. Current Political Climate and FBI Leadership

Timestamp: [22:20 – 37:00]

O’Reilly and Talman touch upon the current state of the FBI under Directors Cash Patel and Dan Bongino. Talman praises Patel for improving agent morale and refocusing the FBI on violent crime:

“There's a sense that the agents on the ground feel like someone has their back.” (22:20)

O’Reilly adds that under the new leadership, the FBI has distanced itself from political appointees, enhancing its effectiveness in combating real crime rather than being perceived as politically motivated.

6. Decline of Network Television and Future Outlook

Timestamp: [30:00 – 36:00]

Bernard Goldberg elaborates on the declining influence of traditional network television, reinforcing O’Reilly’s assertion that network news is finished:

“Network television is finished. It is over. It is not coming back.” (27:35)

He criticizes the lack of conservative representation and the entrenched liberal bias, suggesting that networks are unable to attract a diverse range of viewpoints. Goldberg underscores the challenges faced by conservative commentators in gaining airtime within these platforms.

“In everybody's life, there are bad things that happen and we got to deal with them in a fair way... You do the right thing even if it hurts you.” (36:11)
