- Opposes war on drugs and US military action against cartels.
- O’Reilly rebukes Paul:
“Mistakes will be made in all wars. But your solution is what? … Millions dead, cartels … and you don’t want them blown out of the Caribbean Sea because you don’t trust US intel. Come on. That’s pretty extreme.” (06:25)

Migration Out of New York and “Flight States” (20:45 – 33:30)
- States like Tennessee, Florida, Ohio, and Louisiana target New York businesses and residents.
- Governors and officials are running ads and public statements to entice migration.
- O’Reilly recounts an anonymous business leader’s plan to move operations to Florida, reflecting general unease with New York’s political direction and high taxes.
- He connects this exodus to policy uncertainty under Governor Hochul and newly elected Mayor Mamdani, whom he labels a “communist.”
- On Mamdani’s ambitions:
“Mandani … is going to try to take everything he can out of everybody who’s making money. And that’s true. He has to … because New York’s in a big deficit now under Adams.”
- On Mamdani’s ambitions:
- Observations about other states: Praises the Carolinas and Florida, scolds Connecticut and Rhode Island for high taxes and left-wing policy missteps.
National Guard, NYPD, and Mayoral Transitions (33:40 – 41:20)
- Concern among New York state officials about rumors of federal troop deployment to NYC to protect ICE agents (“very, very concerned”).
- O’Reilly expresses skepticism about the need for such action—unless public order collapses under Mayor Mamdani’s progressive agenda:
-
“If he cuts the police budget, and there’s crime in the street and blood running everywhere … then I’m going to revise my opinion.” (39:45)
-
- Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch will retain her position under Mamdani, which O’Reilly credits to her reputation and work ethic.
- Speculates her presence might moderate Mandani’s policing stance, “or at least slow down his alleged anti-Semitism.”

- Siena poll summary:
- Chuck Schumer: Only 32% favorable, 55% unfavorable—his “lowest favorability rating in 21 years.”

- Donald Trump: 35% favorable, 61% unfavorable.
- Governor Hochul: Retains a 20-point lead over Elise Stefanik—O’Reilly says a Stefanik win “can be done,” but will be tough.
- Mayor Mamdani: Even split (40% favorable/unfavorable).
- NY State Direction: 39% say “right track,” 45% “wrong track.”
-
“Polls never make any sense. They’re all emotion … but the polls had Mandani winning. He won. So you got to take them seriously ...” (47:10)
Why Did Mamdani Win? Immigration, Poverty, and City Demographics (47:25 – 54:00)
- O’Reilly attributes Mamdani’s victory to half of NYC voters being foreign-born—different values, priorities, and expectations.
-
“My family [has] been in New York since 1868 … [we] have a vision of life that isn’t the same as the Pakistani guy walking next to me on Madison Avenue. That’s not to disparage … But … the life of vision is very different.” (49:20)
-
- Discusses a Robin Hood/Columbia survey on poverty:
- “36% of New Yorkers and 42% of families with children report needing more money to buy food.”

Critique of Progressive Movement: Justice, Faith, Capitalism, Identity (54:10 – 01:10:30)

- Progressives “do not want to punish crime”; he rebuts this using Bernie Sanders and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson as examples.
- Quote from Johnson:
“Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities … the vast majority of them look like me.”
- O’Reilly’s retort:
“Chicago’s murder rate is through the roof … It’s the last line of defense, you moron.” (57:10)

- Faith:
- Claims progressives are generally anti-religion, as “religion threatens state power.”

“Religious people are the problem. No, the religious people are the problem, not the criminals.”
- Capitalism:
- Argues that capitalism provides for the poor far better than socialism.
- Ocasio-Cortez and Ta-Nehisi Coates quote (on billionaires):
“It’s not … that necessarily means that all billionaires are immoral. No, but we shouldn’t have them, shouldn’t allow them.” (01:03:15)

“If you are a progressive … you’re a loon. … But you’re a human being. If you were drowning, I would jump in and try to save you. But your point of view and millions of Americans are embracing this progressive nonsense.” (01:10:11)
