  • Denver: 13 arrests; Portland: 3 significant arrests related to violence.

Notable Commentary:

“Dissent is a hallmark of our nation... This isn’t like an organic protest. This is people who just don’t like the guy.”
— Bill O’Reilly [01:13]

2. Soundbite Breakdown: Protest Voices

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett [03:58]:

• Criticizes Trump for making people feel “hopeless.”
• O’Reilly counters this is an exaggeration, given low unemployment and economic opportunity.

“I don’t know anybody who’s helpless… Who’s helpless? Ms. Crockett doesn’t know who’s helpless. She just throws that out there.”
— Bill O’Reilly [04:19]

Actor John Cusack [04:55]:

• Claims “authoritarians divide and conquer“ and that “masked goons” are abducting people.

“These generalisms... there is a campaign run by Homeland Security... Some are detained, but Cusack says masked goons roaming the street... He’s an open border guy. That’s what he is.”
— Bill O’Reilly [05:31]

Transgender Activist J. Brown [06:48]:

• Criticizes the Trump administration’s “darker vision for America,” government interference with parenting, and doctors being forced to “forego their oaths.”
• O’Reilly calls this “hysteria” and says he’s never seen it in practice.

“I don’t know any families on Long Island where I live that have been ripped apart unless the dad or mom is here illegally...”
— Bill O’Reilly [07:08]

Bill Nye, The Science Guy [07:32]:

• Warns that “the Republic might end” due to government abuses.
• O’Reilly mocks the hyperbole, noting that millions protesting implies freedom, not dictatorship.

“When you got millions of people going out to demonstrate against the president, that kind of looks like freedom in action.”
— Bill O’Reilly [08:15]

3. O’Reilly’s Analysis: “Anti-Trump Hysteria”

(09:00–11:00)

• Asserts that protest rhetoric is overblown and solutions are lacking.

• Challenges listeners to name a major problem solved by the Biden-Harris administration.

  “This kind of hysterical reaction to immigration enforcement... it’s hysterical... Tell me one problem that was solved in four years by the Biden-Harris administration. Just one.”
  — Bill O’Reilly [10:15]

4. NYC Mayoral Race Breakdown

(11:00–19:00)

• Polling Data: Complex race between Mandani, Cuomo, and Sliwa.

  • Mandani leads in multiple polls, especially if Sliwa drops out and consolidates anti-Mandani votes.
  • Sliwa polling at 19%, Cuomo at 29–31% depending on poll.

• Mandani’s Fiscal Promises:

  • Warns Mandani would raise income and corporate taxes, hurting high earners and businesses.
  • Predicts police morale will plummet, leading to greater public safety risks.

• Voting Dynamics:

  • Highlights unique role of foreign-born voters (1.5 million in NYC) — Mandani has strong support (62% among foreign-born).
  • Suggests Cuomo’s only chance is mobilizing African American voter turnout, which seems unlikely.

  “Mandani going to come in with a cleaver… Most people don’t earn $100,000 a year so they don’t care, but they don’t know the unintended consequences.”
  — Bill O’Reilly [13:40]

Notable Quotes:

“I tell my daughter... your check is going to go down because you’re going to raise income taxes... And who you work for, their corporate tax is going to go up big time.”
— Bill O’Reilly [13:20]

“When the police say, ‘you know, this Mandani can go blank himself,’... police are going to respond to this?”
— Bill O’Reilly [14:40]

5. The Sliwa Dilemma & Calls to Drop Out

(17:49–18:56)

• Prominent figures (John Catsimatidis, NY Post) call for Curtis Sliwa to drop out to consolidate the anti-Mandani vote.

• Sliwa refuses, stating trust in the people and his right to run.

  “I trust the people. They'll make the decision. I'm not dropping out.”
  — Curtis Sliwa [18:53]

• O’Reilly respects Sliwa’s patriotism but acknowledges the mathematics are against him.

  “I'm not going to call for Curtis Lee to drop out... If he does, would that be a good thing? Yeah, it probably would be, but that's as far as I'm gonna go.”
  — Bill O’Reilly [18:56]

6. Historical Context and Electoral Machine

(19:00–22:00)

• Reflects on New York City political machines, drawing parallels to Boss Tweed.

• Predicts “the organized machine” will deliver Mandani a victory.

  “My prediction is not a lock. But, you know, I'm pretty good at this, as you know.”
  — Bill O’Reilly [20:15]

7. Additional State Analysis: Nassau County vs NYC

(22:00–23:50)

• Contrasts NYC’s turmoil with Nassau County’s stability under County Executive Bruce Blakeman and police commissioner Patrick Ryder.

• Credits policies for low taxes and crime.

  “Blakeman’s kept the taxes down. The taxes are killing people and the crime is way down.”
  — Bill O’Reilly [23:10]

8. On Political Ignorance and J.B. Pritzker’s Nazi Comparisons

(23:51–29:50)

• O’Reilly lambasts Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker for comparing the Trump administration’s immigration policies to the Nazi regime.

• Dissects Pritzker’s history by drawing distinctions:

  • No major immigration into Germany under the Nazis, “nobody was going to Germany” due to economic collapse.
  • The Holocaust targeted residents, not immigrants.
  • Details his historical research (cites his own books).

• Charges Pritzker and others with “ignorance” and misusing history to attack Trump for political gain.

  “Many of our leaders are dumb. Can I be more blunt? They don’t know anything. They’re charlatans.”
  — Bill O’Reilly [25:53]

  “Pritzker knows nothing about any of this. Nothing. And what he trying to do is to sell the Trump policy of not allowing illegal immigration... with the Nazi policy of stopping immigration. He doesn’t know the difference.”
  — Bill O’Reilly [29:13]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Peaceful Protest Praise:

  “Summing up, the protesters deserve a lot of credit for being peaceful. Dissent is a very important part of our republic. But there’s a lot of hysteria attached to the anti-Trump movement.”
  — Bill O’Reilly [10:43]

• Foreign-Born Voting Block:

  “There are approximately 1, 1.5 million voters born overseas... they are breaking for Mandani, 62 to 31. Foreign born people in New York City are supporting Mandani, 62%.”
  — Bill O’Reilly [20:49]

• Political Machine Legacy:

  “Remember Boss Tweed? Look him up... Ever since he got in and designed this machine, it’s been this way.”
  — Bill O’Reilly [15:53]

• On Ignorance and Politicians:

  “This is what’s happening all over our country... Many of our public servants are just dumb. They just don’t know anything. They don’t know the Constitution. They don’t know what happened in America, how it all evolved.”
  — Bill O’Reilly [29:30]

Tonal Notes

• O’Reilly’s tone is combative yet analytical, priding himself on blunt talk and fact-checking, skeptical of progressive claims, dismissive of protest “hysteria,” and bullish on his election predictions. He often uses personal examples and direct colloquial language (“go blank himself,” “I gotta call it like I see it”).

For listeners seeking O’Reilly’s unfiltered take on American protest culture, NYC politics, and historical comparisons, this episode is classic ‘No Spin’—irreverent, direct, and heavy on critique of “charlatan” politicians and activist hyperbole.
