Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the latest edition of Looking out for you. Let's get started. Less than a month before Mayor Mam Donnie takes over, as I predicted last week, he will move into Gracie Mansion on the Upper east side of Manhattan. Nice place. You know, the communist leadership in Russia, in China, in Cuba, Vietnam, they all live in great places, these guys. So why should mam dummy be any different, Right? So he's stirring it up already after meeting with Donald Trump. They kind of toned it down there. But now he says, hey, I'm going to defy the federal government when there's an ICE raid and I want everybody else to do it, too. Roll the tape.
C
ICE is legally allowed to lie to you, but you have the right to remain silent. If you're being detained, you may always ask, am I free to go? Repeatedly until they answer you. You are legally allowed to film ICE as long as you do not interfere with an arrest.
B
Okay, so Mamdani is going to get himself into big trouble and along with him, us. Because President Trump's not going to put up with this. He going to stop federal grants coming into the U, coming to New York City. And I mean, come on, you don't have to do this, man. Donnie, you should be asking for justice, fighting for justice. That's what you should be doing. Not being a 12 year old thumbing your nose at the most powerful man in the world. That's not smart. In addition, we have the homeless encampments. Do you guys realize that so far this year, 3,676 homeless encampments have been visited by police in New York City? 3,676. About 2,000 were cleaned out. That means the drug addicts had to go someplace else. And when I say drug addicts, that's who's there. Yeah, there are a few mentally ill people. There's no homeless moms and kids in these camps because there are enough shelters in New York City to house them. These are drug addicts who don't want to go into the shelter because you can't use narcotics in the shelter. We all Understanding this, okay, so Mandani is now saying, hey, you know, I'm not knocking down the homeless encampments. That's cruel. I'm going to let them spout. You're going to let them spout? Okay, so that's nearly 4,000 illegal. Because it is encampments in public places that you're going to allow where narcotics are going to be openly used, sold, Desperate people are not going to get any help. They're going to do what they do. Neighborhoods are going to be blighted. You got a house, right? You're in New York City, paid some serious money for the house. All of a sudden you look out your front window, there's 40 drug addicts in your front yard. Is that good? Does sound like a good policy to you? I think that's a bit of an intrusion. I'm not exaggerating. Where do you think these 4,000 homeless encampments are? They're all over the place, depending on where the pushes are. That's how it grows up. Where the drugs are distributed. That's where the homeless people go to get the drugs. Come on. I mean, this is ridiculous. So this Mandami, he continues to live in a world of his own, but he's elected, he's going to serve, and we're going to suffer. So this is just the beginning, believe me. Now, Trump is not going to get involved with the homeless encampments. That's not Hochul should, but she won't, okay? Because she doesn't want to alienate the progressive left that supports Mamdani. But I'll tell you, this time next year, and we got it on tape, the city will be down, I mean, big time. Quality of life. Oh boy, is that going to get hammered. Okay, so I'm keeping an eye on this. You guys know that. I'll have the latest information every day. Good news in the crime situation. New York city just went 12 days without a single homicide. And yesterday that stopped. Sunday it stopped. 38 year old man fatally shot in the Bronx. 12 days, no homicide. First 11 months of this year, 25 fewest shooting incidents and shooting victims in recorded history. So overall murder rate down 47% last month, November, compared to 2024. So what's going on? So usually I'm telling you bad news here about New York City and criminal justice. Why is the violent crime spectrum declining? So we consulted our experts and this is the consensus, very quietly, and that's the key. Commissioner Jessica Tisch has done two things. Number one, targeted gang leaders very quietly because if she did it publicly, the far left city council and all the cranks would have come out and go, you're picking on the gang leaders. You're a racist. She basically said, I want these people off the street. It's not hard to get them off the street. They're carrying guns, they're selling narcotics. They're doing all kinds of things. So they targeted, and they know who these gang guys are. So they arrested and incarcerated a lot of them for serious crimes. That's number one. But she didn't hotshot it. Tish kept it very quiet. The second is that they flooded the zone in the subways. All right? So now you see police on platforms, in the cars themselves, and they're around. And that makes it much harder for the loons, because most of the violence in the subway is caused by mentally ill people. Cop sees a mentally ill guy, they'll detain him. They'll call Bellevue or wherever, and, you know, the mentally ill people will get not sanctioned. They can't hold them for long, but they'll be removed. And so the immediate danger lessens. So that is what has happened, and we're very pleased about that. But now we face a new regime. On Mandani, he's already said, hey, I'm not going to interrupt any of these homeless camps, 4,000 of them. So I'll let anybody do whatever they want in there. You want to use drugs, go ahead. You want to sell drugs, fine. If you are a drug addict, you need to get money to buy your drugs, and the only way you can do it is to sell drugs yourself or steal or prostitute yourself. Got to commit a crime. Can't work. And this is known. Everybody knows this. So Mandami going, yeah, go ahead. Shoplifting. Oh, we're not going to bother with it. So I expect to see these crimes, we call them quality of life crimes, rise, and that's the first step. The violence comes right behind that. But I could be wrong, and I hope I'm wrong. You know, I'm not a Mandani fan. I'm not a socialist. I think the guy is 34 years old, doesn't know anything. I think if I interviewed him, that would be quite apparent, but he'd never sit with me to do that. He got elected because he sold affordability to people who don't have much money, and the city's very expensive. Okay, I got it. But now you got to deal with his policies. His policies are going to be extremely permissive. He's going to allow things that should never be allowed in public and he'll allow them. And that will blunt what? Commissioner Tisch is done and the police are done. Police are not going to be able to answer a lot of calls. They're not going to be able to move anybody off the street. You know, I may said this on Katz and Cosby yesterday. So you buy a house in New York City, all right, that's expensive, and then all of a sudden you look out your front window and there's 10 drug addicts camped out right in front of your house doing all kinds of stuff. And what do you think is going to happen to your property values? What do you think is your quality of life? What if you have kids? You got to walk by that camp. Mandava doesn't care. He thinks you're evil if you're a homeowner. He wants a government to own all the homes. That's what communists want. That's what they do. But anyway, congratulations to the NYPD again, because it's all on them. They did it. They got it down. The violent crime. So we're going to deal with this migrant situation tonight in a different way. So as you know, the left in America vehemently objects to Homeland Security taking into custody, quote, unquote, non violent migrants. All right? And these are priests and nuns and rabbis and ministers. And they're all yelling and Democratic Party and Trump administration fascists and the ICE people and Nazis. And you heard it, you know it. So what's really happening there? Let's put the propaganda aside. Well, the best place to learn about this is Illinois. They have a governor named J.B. pritzker. Very liberal man, okay? And Chicago Cook county is a horrendous crime problem. Rest of the state, not so bad. But Chicago is really out of control. We own, you know, stats of the stats, okay? Murder and murder and murder and, oh, it's going down. Okay, fine, let's sweep up those 30 bodies we had over the weekend. But it's going down. You know the game. So Pritzker basically refusing to cooperate with the federal government. Homeland Security, we're not going to help you. We're not going to hold anybody for you and all of that. So Homeland Security comes out with a press release and it says that under Pritzker, for this year, 2025 so far as 1768 criminal illegal aliens, all right, that have not been turned over to ICE. Five homicides, 141 assaults, 23 burglaries, 24 dangerous drug offenses, 10 predatory sexual offenses, 15 weapons, even though those are the charges against the undocumented people. Pritzker won't hand them over. Okay? So if it were me, see, Trump's too light. He's too light. I find a way to indict Pritzker, I might not win. And I know it would make him a hero in the liberal precincts, but I do it anyway. I'd have the Justice Department go in and say, you know what? You're interfering with federal law. You'd find something. And so we're going to haul you in and we're going to expose what you're doing and all the people that are being hurt because you're doing it. Now, let's address the delineation between violent criminal aliens and peaceful. And there is. But the peaceful aliens who are swept up in these raids are hanging with the violent people. It's not. Homeland Security doesn't have enough personnel. Can't get court orders, can't do that unless there's violence involved or criminality involved. They can't kick in the door of people cutting lawns and drag them out. Okay? Because everybody on American soil is entitled to due process. Even if you're illegal, even if you come here illegally, once you set foot on the United States of America soil, then you have to get due process. So a judge has to sign a deportation owner unless you're caught at the border. The border is different. So if they catch you, they can throw you right back. All. All right. So there are 4,000 aliens accused of crimes in the custody of illinois right now. 4000. That's in addition to the 1700 they wouldn't turn over. And again, these are horrendous people. And they're in jail. And the federal government says, we want them out of jail and delivered to us so we can go deportation. Now, I don't mind that they spend time in jail. Myself, I'd have a special prison, federal prison section for criminal undocumented people. They would be in a special facility. That's what I would do. They keep me there. There's no rush to get you back to Paraguay or wherever you come from. They keep you there. So I get to punish these people. I'm big on that because that is an inhibitor. But Prisca won't hand over the 4,000. So what is this? Federal law is over? Federal law trumps pardon upon state and local laws. That's what the Constitution said. So if you pass a crazy law in your state and the feds go no, then the federal law takes precedent. And Pritzker, I don't care. I'm not cooperating with federal law. You know, jb if I'm attorney general, I'm coming after you with everything I got. Everything I got. I might lose. And again, you would be a hero, because that's what you want. Virtue signaling. What? While people die? Old J.B. oh, yeah. I am such a kind, compassionate man. How many more dead over there in Cook County? Okay, so far, President Trump's been kind of light on this, all right? But I just want to play you one JB PRITZKER soundbite so you get the feel of it. Go.
D
Donald Trump and Kristi Noem and Tom Homan said they were targeting the worst of the worst criminals. They lied. And they continue to lie. 60% of the individuals that ICE has taken in Illinois this year have no criminal convictions of any kind. ICE is running around the loop harassing people for not being white.
B
No. How vile. And 60%, that number is probably right. That means 40% are criminals committing crimes in your state. You don't care. 40% of them. Now, the other 60 who aren't, they're separated out and they get a citation. They're not booted because they have to go through due process. Prince will never tell you that. So in October, this is the last comment President Trump made on Pritzker. Go.
E
We're heading to Chicago because we want to save Chicago. Do you know they had over 4,000 people killed in Chicago? Over a short 4,000 people. And I have to watch this slob of a governor stand up and say that, well, everything's okay. We've got it under control.
B
Yeah. So the headline becomes slob of a governor. And I suggested to President Trump, because I've been speaking to him with regularity, that maybe they don't want to use the slop thing because then the media takes that and makes it the story rather than the 4,000 dead bodies. So, anyway, look, all I want is for Americans to be safe. That's it. J.B. pritzker and others like him are putting us all in danger. All of us. Because we don't live in Chicago. We do live in New York. Hello. Or in la or in Boston or these sanctuary places. We're in danger. No system is perfect, but you have to obey the federal law.

Episode: Looking Out For You – December 14, 2025
Host: Bill O’Reilly
Date: December 14, 2025
In this episode, Bill O’Reilly focuses on recent political developments in New York City and Illinois, particularly the policies of incoming New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker regarding homelessness, law enforcement, and cooperation with federal immigration authorities. O’Reilly argues these progressive approaches are putting public safety and quality of life at risk, and he examines both the effects of current NYPD strategies and the dangers he sees presented by liberal sanctuary policies.
Transition and Attitude:
Mamdani is about to take over as mayor and, according to O’Reilly, is expected to move into the luxurious Gracie Mansion, comparing him sarcastically to leaders of communist countries who live well while espousing populist rhetoric.
“You know, the communist leadership in Russia, in China, in Cuba, Vietnam, they all live in great places, these guys. So why should Mamdani be any different, right?” (00:36, O’Reilly)
Defiance of Federal Authority:
Mamdani recently pledged to defy federal ICE raids and encouraged others to do so as well.
“He says, hey, I'm going to defy the federal government when there's an ICE raid and I want everybody else to do it, too.” (00:52, O’Reilly)
Potential Consequences:
O’Reilly warns that President Trump will respond by limiting federal funding to New York, creating broader risks for city residents.
Statistics & Policy Changes:
O’Reilly cites police interventions in nearly 4,000 homeless encampments this year, noting that a large portion were cleared, but many remain.
“So far this year, 3,676 homeless encampments have been visited by police in New York City… About 2,000 were cleaned out.” (02:21, O’Reilly)
Narcotics and Quality of Life:
He frames these encampments chiefly as drug havens, not shelters for families, arguing that permissive policies encourage crime, lower property values, and degrade neighborhood safety.
"These are drug addicts who don't want to go into the shelter because you can't use narcotics in the shelter. We all understand this, okay?" (03:03, O’Reilly)
Predicted Consequences:
O’Reilly foresees a sharp decline in NYC’s quality of life under Mamdani, predicting a revisit to the topic and suggesting the decline is inevitable unless policies change.
NYPD Commended:
O’Reilly credits Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch’s targeted approach against gang leaders and increased police presence in subways for a notable drop in shootings and homicides.
“Very quietly, Commissioner Jessica Tisch has done two things. Number one, targeted gang leaders very quietly… The second is that they flooded the zone in the subways.” (06:45, O’Reilly)
Caveat:
He warns these gains are fragile and likely to be undone by incoming, more permissive administration policies.
Governor Pritzker’s Refusal to Cooperate with ICE:
O’Reilly shifts to Illinois, outlining Governor J.B. Pritzker’s refusal to assist federal immigration enforcement, allegedly shielding thousands of criminal undocumented immigrants from deportation.
“Homeland Security... says that under Pritzker, for this year, 2025 so far is 1,768 criminal illegal aliens… Pritzker won’t hand them over.” (13:42, O’Reilly)
Federal vs. State Law:
O’Reilly insists that federal law “trumps” (pun intended) state law, and proposes “coming after” Pritzker legally were he in charge.
“I find a way to indict Pritzker… I’d have the Justice Department go in and say, you know what? You’re interfering with federal law...” (14:51, O’Reilly)
Due Process for Migrants:
He clarifies that non-violent undocumented immigrants are entitled to due process; violent or criminal undocumented immigrants should be detained or deported.
“Everybody on American soil is entitled to due process. Even if you’re illegal, even if you come here illegally, once you set foot on the United States of America soil, then you have to get due process.” (15:08, O’Reilly)
Soundbites from Pritzker & Trump:
O’Reilly plays a clip where Pritzker criticizes the Trump administration, claiming ICE targets non-criminals:
“Donald Trump and Kristi Noem and Tom Homan said they were targeting the worst of the worst criminals. They lied. And they continue to lie. 60% of the individuals that ICE has taken in Illinois this year have no criminal convictions of any kind. ICE is running around the loop harassing people for not being white.” (15:59, Pritzker)
O’Reilly’s Response:
He calls this “vile” and asserts that even if 60% are non-criminals, Pritzker is indifferent to the 40% with criminal charges.
“You don’t care. 40% of them. Now, the other 60 who aren’t, they’re separated out and they get a citation. They’re not booted because they have to go through due process.” (16:30, O’Reilly)
Trump on Chicago’s Crisis:
Trump is played calling Pritzker “a slob of a governor,” with O’Reilly suggesting this distracts from the gravity of Chicago’s crime, and he's advised Trump to moderate language for greater focus.
“I suggested to President Trump, because I’ve been speaking to him with regularity, that maybe they don’t want to use the slob thing because then the media takes that and makes it the story rather than the 4,000 dead bodies.” (17:17, O’Reilly)
Bill O’Reilly frames the episode as a warning against what he perceives as naive, dangerous progressive policies in two core arenas: New York City’s approach to homelessness and drug use, and Illinois’ sanctuary state stance toward federal immigration laws. He credits law enforcement for recent reductions in violent crime but predicts increases in quality-of-life offenses and a decline in safety should current policies be enacted unchecked. Through direct criticism, data points, and pointed commentary, O’Reilly keeps the tone urgent and combative, appealing to listeners concerned about crime, property values, and the direction of urban American governance.
