Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the latest edition of Looking out for you. Let's get started. This week, confronting Evil. My brand new book is out. Hope you consider that. But tonight I want to talk about Tom Hanks, the actor and Donald Trump. So West Point, one of the most prestigious institutions in the world, goes all the way back to the Revolutionary War, great history. They decided to honor Tom Hanks with the Sylvanius thayer award on September 25th. Why? Well, Hanks has been a big military supporter. Okay. Movie, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan. He has done a lot of charity work, produced Band of Brothers, one of the most excellent military shows of all time, served as a national spokesperson for the World War II memorial, led fundraising for the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial. So Hanks has done a lot for the US Military. So he was supposed to be honored. Problem is that Tom Hanks is an avowed liberal, okay. And he's called Donald Trump unfit for office, a gas bag, his usual stuff that the Hollywood people engage in. Trump is a very, I'm sorry, Hanks is a very solid player in the liberal community in la. Okay. He does not George Clooney. He doesn't put it in your face. He's shrewder than that. But he does not like Donald Trump at all. So I'm going to play two sound bites from Mr. Hanks to prove that point, and then I'll give you why West Point canceled the award. So roll tape. Won. Could you play this president of the United States? Oh, I think a lot of people could. Yeah. Yeah. How would you play him? I would probably play him as a very incurious man. And I do it in interpretation, more so than in curious and an unimaginative guy who doesn't see much beyond the next 48 hours. Okay. There's nothing wrong with that. You know, I'd say the same thing about Joe, Joe Biden and Tom Hanks entitled Sport of you. I incurious. Okay. But then that was in 2017. Seven years later, Hanks's rhetoric got a little more Intense. Go. Do you worry about the United States in case there in terms of its commitment to democracy and freedom and everything these people died for? If there's another Trump presidency, I think there's always a reason to be worried about the short term, but I look at the longer term of what is what happened. I think there is a, there is a ongoing look. Our Constitution says we the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union. That journey to a more perfect union has missteps in it and it's a little more political. Okay, so he's worried. Amanpour hates Trump. That was the interviewer there. But again, he's kind of dancing Hanks. But Trump knows it's Spielberg and Katzenberg and Ari Emanuel and the Disney people. He knows they're all arrayed against it. Trump also knows that a conservative actor, a Trump supporter in Hollywood lose jobs. That that's wrong. I don't care about not liking Trump. I know most of these people out there. I don't care whether they like Trump or not. Yeah, I didn't care whether they like Biden or not. Matter to me. If they want to discuss it, I'm happy to do so. Okay, but you're an American. You can decide. But Trump takes it personally. Everybody knows that. Now, Tom Hanks, 69 years old and I met him once. But my friend Dennis Miller is best buds with Tom Hanks and Miller likes him a lot. And you know, so that means something to me because Miller, tough guy and Miller is no liberal. So I'm agnostic on Hanks myself. So here's what. Trump takes it all personally. Okay. Here's what he posted on Truth Social. Our great West Point getting greater all the time, has smartly canceled the award ceremony for actor Tom Hanks. Important move. We don't need destructive woke recipients getting our cherished American awards. Hopefully the Academy Awards and other fake award shows will review their standards and practices in the name of fairness and justice. Watch their dead ratings surge, unquote. So it's a personal beef here because West Point never would have canceled this without President Trump, who's the commander in chief of the military, going, hey, no. And it got pretty far along, okay, until Trump zeroed in on it. So it was supposed to be September 25th. It's been going on for six months. And you know, Hanks is very pleased to get the award, but now he's not getting it. So if I were president, would I have done that if there was a recipient of any award, national award by the military, U.S. military, who didn't like me, who openly criticized me. The answer is no, I would not have done it. I would have allowed Tom Hanks to get the award. If I had a beef with Hanks, I certainly would put that in the social media. So I don't think Donald Trump's wrong for not approving of Donald, of Tom Hanks. Okay, But I would spill the beef out. But then I would say, look, he's done enough good for the military, and he has, if you want to be honest, that I'm not going to interfere with the award. I just wish the guy would come back to reality and see that my administration and the way I am, the commander in chief, benefits the military, because you can make a very good argument about that. Dubai didn't care about the military at all. Nothing. But Trump has put resources into it to protect our men and women who volunteer for service. Yes. Indisputable fact. Now, if you're Tom Hanks who'll never do an interview with anybody like me, you say, well, look, Trump has improved the status of the military, has improved conditions for vets. Part of the big beautiful bill was that he's looking out for them, it looks like. So are you cutting them slack on that? Do you approve of that? That's a question you ask Tom Hanks. But I like to see in American leadership across the board a measure of common sense. And that's the name of my radio program, Common Sense on wabc. I'd like to see. Look, I know he doesn't like me, and I don't like the fact that these liberals in Hollywood do things, in my opinion, that are destructive to my administration in the country. I don't like that. That's fine. That's one of the things I admire about Trump. You know, I interviewed Bush the younger in the middle of the Iraq war when the corporate media was just slashing him, banging him like crazy. Stupid. This, that. I said to him, you know, Mr. President, is there a line that the media is going to cross where you're going to come back at them? And he goes, no, they can say what they want. Then Bush never confronted them, ever. And I didn't think it was weak. I knew why he didn't want to pump them up. But for me, a confrontational man, I admire Trump's, in many instances, his confrontation. If you think something's unfair, if he thinks you're trying to hurt the country, he goes after you. I have no problem with that. It has to be legitimate. And this is a small beef Coming back to Hanks. All right, Hanks is a liberal. Hangs. Hangs with all of the leftists in Hollywood deeply ingrained in that society. So he says what he says, do I want to punish him for that? No, I would. You know, I don't usually do personal beefs on this program, but I got to tell you something about what happened on Saturday night in Island Park, Nassau County, New York. So I was going at a restaurant at a res at 6pm It's a 5 o' clock mass. Sacred Heart Church on Long Beach Road. But the San Geneiro festival was just about to get underway, so Long Beach Road was blocked off. But I want to go to mass because I try to go every Sunday. So I went around and around. Nowhere to park, impossible to park. So I had to park in a neighborhood. And I knew that there was a chance that I would be flagged for illegal parking. There were signs, but you couldn't really make them out what they were. Okay. So I went to church, Italian church. Got out about 10 minutes to 6, walked over. There's a ticket on my car. I knew it. The guy was not a cop. He was slovenly dressed because I saw him and I actually approached him and I said, what are you doing? He goes, oh, I give a ticket to your illegally park. I said, there is nowhere to park. You know, there's a five o' clock mass at Sacred Heart Church. You know, people want to go to that mass, have to park illegally. You know that this is entrapment. The guy gets a piece of every ticket he writes, okay? That's the way these towns operate. So the mayor is a Michael McGinty of Island Park. I haven't called him yet. I probably will. I don't care about the 40 bucks. I care about this entrapment. They did this on purpose. They knew that anybody going in that mass would have to park illegally and they could slap them with a 40 buck ticket. That's wrong. That is absolutely wrong. And the authorities in island park should be ashamed of themselves. Now this is happening not only there, it's happening in a lot of places on Long island now as these towns want to raise revenue. If you go to Sag harbor in Suffolk county, watch yourself. They're just waiting. These people, they're plain clothes cops. They're waiting. They sit in bars and they watch people have more than two drinks. They follow them out to the car. Sag harbor, okay? This is unbelievable what they're doing. So it's wrong. It used to happen in the south all the time. It used to be counties and cities, towns there where you couldn't go because you knew the cops are going to pull you over some. I don't like to see that. I think this is corruption. And talk about corruption. Front page New York Post. Okay, so you've got, According the Post, 63 career criminals terrorizing the New York City subway system. And I give examples. Okay? One guy, Michael Wilson, 36 arrests this year alone. Okay? Kenny Mitchell, 149 total arrests. These guys, nothing happens to him. Nothing. The arrest of the cops, take them. We're talking about assault, robbery, theft, turnstile jumping, everything you can think of. They bring them in, they book them. Judges let them go, they go back out, and they commit a horrendous amount of crimes. Horrendous. Okay? The 63 career criminals the New York Post spotlighted, they have more than 5,000 arrests. 5,000. And they're not in jail. They're not in prison. Anarchy. And I said on SID this morning that if Mandani gets elected, this is going to triple, quadruple. Nobody will be punished. Only the most heinous killers and rapists in this city. Mandani does not want to prosecute crime. Do you think it's bad now? And they give you the stats, oh, we're driving it down. We're driving it down. That's true. But it's still a chronic danger. And you're never going to eliminate all crime. But if you keep letting 63 hardcore criminals out, what do you expect to happen? What do you expect to happen if you vote for Mandani? Crime rate is going to explode. New poll, Siena College outside of Albany. New York Times, no surprise. Mandami up 46%. SLI with 15. Cuomo, 24. Eric Adams, 9. So Adams has no chance. None. He's done, finished, and he'll drop out. I still believe that will happen. That'll help Cuomo a little bit. But head to head in this poll, Mandami beats Cuomo, 48, 44. That's close. Now Mandami is getting hammered all across the board from people like me, all right? Because I see the danger very clearly of this man running the city of New York. Now, I'm going to do this on a national show, but not to the extent that I'm doing it here for you guys that are WABC listeners. So yesterday I was on Katz and Cosby, a very successful program, at five in the afternoon on wabc, and I told the crew that voting for Mandami is in itself an act of evil, because I have my book, Confronting Evil, which comes out today. So it was in context. Now, that's gotten a lot of attention on social media. Let me explain it. Roll the tape. So my thesis to Rosenberg this morning was, look, if you're going to cast a ballot for a man who has outwardly said he does not want to enforce the law, he does not want to incarcerate even violent people because he believes these violent miscreants are forced to commit their crimes because American society is evil. So he himself, as a leader of the largest city in the country, is not going to encourage the city to prosecute, to take these people off the streets. If you are voting for that, casting your ballot, what are you voting for? Because you have to know that philosophy is going to lead to death and pain for thousands of people. Yeah. So it's an act of evil. There's a difference between human beings doing evil because we're all sinners, okay. And being evil. Now, I'm not saying if you vote for Mandami, that you're an evil person. I'm saying the act of pulling that lever for a man who's going to allow violence to spike, and that will lead to, as I said, unbelievable pain and destruction. That act is bad. It's evil, it's wrong. And there's nobody who can refute it. Mandami can't. Because you got to know cause and effect. You don't have to be Nostradamus to know if you're going to take a billion dollars, which is what Mandami wants to do, out of the police budget, that you're going to have more crime, if you're going to call your own police department racist, that those people are going to retire, get another job somewhere else, or sit there in their desk and not work for you, that's what's going to happen. And the criminals are just salivating, just waiting for this and that. Social order. You think homeless drug addicts roaming all over the place, panhandlers everywhere. You know, your kid walking to school, seeing this depravity, think that's going to get better under Mandani? Come on, this is logic. Simple as it can be. It's not complicated. And there's no two sides to the story. Final kicker. It shows you how much New York City has changed. Van Damme could not win Dog catcher, to use a cliche, in Nassau county, in Suffolk county, in most upstate counties, maybe not even in Westchester County. He couldn't win in northern New Jersey, Bergen County, Hudson County. I don't think he could win. He could. He wouldn't win in Southern Connecticut, but in New York City. The voting patterns and the people who live here have changed so much that Mandani is likely to win when he couldn't win anywhere else in proximity to the city. Franken reality. And I don't know what else I can do, but I'm telling you, you vote for that man, that's an evil act. Another poll. Emerson College. That's in Boston. Channel 11, I guess, hired Emerson to do this. Only 600 registered voters. New York City Mayor Mandami, 43%. Cuomo 28. SLI with 10. Adam 7. If the election were just between Cuomo and Mandami, 47 for Zoran, 40% for the governor. Now, everybody thinking Mandami's got it locked. Not me. He's obviously the favorite, but when Adams drops out, I still believe he will, it's going to turn a little bit to Cuomo. Get some votes on that. I don't think Mandami is going to get any votes from the mayor dropping out, but could be wrong. The controversy this week, and we talked about it yesterday, was that I said pulling the lever for Mandami in November is an evil act, and progressives went wild. Whenever you attack the progressive philosophy or what they do, they attack back. And I'm this. I'm not. Okay, fine. I can defend that all day long simply by Mandani's own words. So a billion he wants to take away from the nypd. He wants to let most criminals and Rikers and other city facilities out on the street. Okay. He believes a police department in New York is racist. He doesn't want to enforce quality of life crimes. That means you'd have homeless on your front lawn. You'd have people shooting up heroin in front of your kids, walking to school. No constraints at all. None. Now, what do you think is going to happen if he gets elected? Okay, the criminals are going to run wild. That means more death, more rapes, more assault. And you're voting for that? You're voting for that? You're pulling the lever for Mandani because that's the immediacy of what's going to happen. All his other pie in the sky, grocery store stuff. Rent this. It'll never get done, in my opinion, but even if it did, it's years down the road. Okay, I guess he could make the buses free right away, but I'm not sure he could. They have bills to pay, but the violence will be almost immediate. And again, you vote for that. Guy, that's what you're voting for. Violence, street violence. Putting yourself in danger. It's insane. But it's an evil act. You can't justify it. Now, I know Cuomo is not liked by anybody, and that's a problem with him. Nobody likes Cuomo. They don't like him personally. They don't like what he did in office. They don't like him. And Adams has been a failure. Nine percent, you know, want him reelected. Come on. It's ridiculous. And Curtis is up against it because of the registrations. 5:1 Democrat over Republican. So he'll do well in the only precinct that has Republicans, Staten Island. But you can't overcome the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. Now, I still think that Curtis could win. I don't know how, and it's probably because I want to think that, but I'd vote for him. Somebody said, who would you vote for? I live right outside New York City in Nassau County. I said, if I were a New York City resident, I'd vote for Curtis, because at least Curtis knows what the problem is. You cannot allow violent people to get out and roam the city and commit crimes at will. You can't. And that's what Mandani will do, in addition to destroying the economy. And there'll be a, you know, exodus out of here, and business will go down, restaurants will. Everybody's going to be in a panic. And then that's four years you get to put up with this. And Hogle is as weak a governor as you can possibly get. She's not going to do anything. She has not endorsed Mandani, by the way, and I don't expect her to, because she has to run for reelection the next year. And Mondame, by the time gets to the gubernatorial race, will have destroyed a large segment of the city. But remember, de Blasio got reelected. De Blasio is the worst mayor in New York City history. So this is not some fantasy here. This is evil, because violence is evil. Hello. Approaching. And everybody in New York City should understand what is happening. Charlie Kirk, that's who we're going to talk about. So I am taping this on Thursday, and I just finished watching the View, where all the women who are leftists, some of them radicals, were lamenting what happened to Mr. Kirk. Now, you would expect that Disney ordered them to do it, but I think they do it anyway. I know they did that. Stupid. It's not msnbc, but, you know. Oh, you know, he got killed because he. He was speaking out and he. Well, the View Never invited Charlie Kirk on the program. Never. They don't want to hear what he had to say. They loathed him. When I was at Fox, I was on the View 15 times because Barbara Walters was running it then. Once she left, I never got invited back. They don't want to hear from me. They don't want to hear from anybody who's a non liberal progressive. So it's a coffee clash every day. And MAGA is bad. Trump is Hitler. The devil. The devil, the devil. And then when that kind of rhetoric, incendiary rhetoric, leads to evil. Oh, no, no, no. It's terrible. It's terrible. You're part of it. You're part of it. You're in that machine with Colbert and the rest of the network people. Colbert had no traditional conservative people except Lynn Cheney, Liz Cheney, the whole year, the whole year, all progressive, one after the other after the other after the other. Now he got fired because CBS gets sold to Skydance and they're not going to do that anymore. But that went on for 10 years. It's a banishment. The one view is allowed. One view, the woke view. That's it. If you're not woke and you're not saying that stuff, you're not welcome on any of them. Censorship. But worse than that, the extremists. And I wouldn't put Colbert into that category. He's just, you know, an ill informed entertainer. That's my description. Same thing with the View ladies. I mean, I go on the View, they can't stand up to me. They don't know anything. Come on. It's ridiculous. But all of this and the social media is the worst. I don't even bother. I can't. It's just too destructive to my soul to go on and read people on social media saying, we're happy Charlie Kirk was assassinated. It just pains me so I don't do it. So you know the, the drill, all right? He's 31 years old, very successful, mobilizes traditional and conservative college students. Turning Point USA got a daughter who's three and a son who's one. Those kids will never know their father. The evil person who shot Kirk. He didn't care about them. He doesn't care about anything. He's evil. Evil doesn't care. So I've done about 100 media requests all over the world because my book Confronting Evil is out this week and it deals with this kind of stuff. Putin's on a cover. Ayatollah Khomeini. This is the 24th anniversary of 9, 11. It's all relevant to today. Basically, the book tells you how evil gains strength, how Hitler and Mao and Stalin and rest of them, how they got where they got, who did it, who helped them. We're seeing that in America. And, I mean, I break it down for everybody. So, look, we all know whoever assassinated Charlie Kirk is evil. There's no debate on it. But how about the young woman on the bus in Charlotte? So a judge allowed the alleged murderer out on the street, knowing the judge knew. 14 arrests. One of them for violently beating up his own sister. Could have easily held him because he's schizophrenic. He's saying he's hearing voices. She could have held him. The judge let him out. That judge still sitting there, she could be removed by the judiciary in North Carolina. Haven't removed her. They're enabling evil because what the judge did led to the murder of this young woman. The judge has blood on her hands. No doubt about it. There's no two sides to the story. Knew he was violent, let him out. She killed. He killed the girl. That's all. And she didn't pay a price. Now, I do think she'll be fired subsequently because pressure that I'm putting on others is pretty intense. But there's no rush to get her out of there. No way. About Chicago. 20 years. 20 years. Poor blacks on the south side of Chicago have been murdered by drug gangs and the progressive leadership in Illinois, in Chicago, then nothing about it. Nothing. They can't stop it. They don't want to stop it. It's chaos and dying by the thousands. Federal government says, you know, we'll give you a blanket of protection to bring this down, this killing down. No, Pritzker doesn't want it. Johnson, the mayor doesn't want. No, no, no. Trump's a fascist. Trump's Hitler. We don't want it. Well, how are you going to save the thousands that are being killed every day? Every day there's a scorecard of how many people are shot in the south side of Chicago. How are you going to do it? Oh, well, we need more money. Oh, we need community services. Oh, we need more jobs. Okay, so no acknowledgement that the drug gangs are evil, that they're not going to work in McDonald's, that they have no interest in a community relationship. They want money and are selling drugs to get money, which is evil. And the people caught in the crossfires or who may testify against them or who they don't like or whatever it may be. Boom. Are you going to Do Pritzker. We need more money. It's enabling evil. And the kicker is these people get votes, they get elected in. I'm, I'm sitting there going, look, comes a point where good people have to do something. And that's where we are. That's why I wrote Confronting Evil. All right, you have to start to stand up in your own neighborhood, in your own home, in your family. Now don't put yourself at risk. Can't do that. Charlie Kirk put himself at risk. He knew. I know all of our, the commentators. Oh, we know some nut can take us out. I at one point at Fox had to have security guards living in my house, living in my house. And back then it wasn't nearly the threat level it is now. So when I go around New York City, I gotta have people. I got, you know, we have to call ahead. We have to have a, an orderly process to get from A to B. Gotta do all that. I can't just. But even though I'm cautious, that no guarantee, 200 yards away, high powered rifle, boom, you're gone and nobody can protect you. It's impossible. Free society, miscreants for running wild all over the place. Even in China, totalitarian lockdown society. You got this stuff. Evil's always been with us. So I'm going to sum this up by saying, look, you're hearing all the Charlie Kirk platitudes, and that's a good thing. Man's a martyr, okay? I think he did far more good in this world than bad. Didn't agree with some of his statement, but so what? He didn't agree with some of mine, but he lost his life in pursuit of democracy. And an evil person took his life. And evil is on the rise in the usa, there is no question about it, and around the world. And you need to understand that to protect yourself, to do something about it. And that's right, you got to pick it up. Got to pick up. Confronting evil. Okay, thank you for listening to Looking out for you. Remember to subscribe to my podcast feed.
