Release Date: July 30, 2025
Introduction and Weather Update
Bill O’Reilly opens the episode with a brief weather update, emphasizing the contrasting climates across the United States. He mentions his plan to relocate to eastern Long Island to escape the heat, stating:
"Stand up for your country. Hot here and around the country, especially in the south, about 98 where I live, 100 plus in New York City. Gonna relocate tomorrow out to eastern Long island by the ocean. It's 15 degrees cooler out there than here and there."
[00:35]
Tariff Success Under President Trump
O’Reilly delves into the topic of tariffs, highlighting the financial gains the United States has seen under President Trump's administration. He asserts that the success of these tariffs could be temporary but emphasizes the immediate benefits:
"This year alone, the United States government has generated $125 billion from tariffs. Now that money goes into the U.S. treasury."
[02:15]
He contrasts this with the previous administration, criticizing President Biden for neglecting the trade deficit:
"131% from the same time last year under President Biden, who did not care at all about the trade deficit."
[03:00]
Media Coverage of Tariffs
O’Reilly criticizes the mainstream media for inadequate coverage of the tariff successes. He provides specific examples of how different networks allocated their airtime:
"Last night on the World News Roundups, the evening news on the three networks, here's how much time they gave the Trump tariff... CBS Evening News did its job, four minutes it spent on the tariffs... NBC Nightly News, 35 seconds. ABC 36 seconds."
[05:20]
He further disparages ABC’s focus on weather rather than significant economic news:
"ABC did 3 minutes and 11 seconds on the weather because that's what David Muir does every night. He's a weatherman."
[06:10]
Trump’s Potential China Trade Deal
Turning to international trade, O’Reilly discusses the potential for a trade deal between the U.S. and China, suggesting it could have global economic benefits:
"If Trump can pull off a trade deal with China, that both countries are happy with, the world immediately becomes a safer and more prosperous place."
[07:45]
He anticipates Trump's visit to Beijing in September or October to negotiate this deal, expressing optimism about its success and its impact on Putin's position:
"If it happens, that squeezes Putin."
[08:10]
Gaza Conflict and Trump’s Involvement
O’Reilly addresses the ongoing conflict in Gaza, expressing concern over the humanitarian crisis while placing blame on Hamas:
"Gaza, terrible. Awful. Starving people there, children. It's awful. Hamas is to blame mostly."
[11:00]
He criticizes Israel’s handling of food shipments, attributing the difficulties to both Hamas’s actions and Israeli policies:
"Israel is making it very difficult to get food into Gaza. And then when it gets into Gaza, Hamas steals it and other thugs so it doesn't get to the poor kids."
[12:30]
O’Reilly notes President Trump's involvement, highlighting efforts to alleviate the suffering:
"But Trump now is involved. We'll be getting some good, strong food. We can save a lot of people. I mean, some of those kids are. That's real starvation stuff."
[13:00]
NYC Mass Shooting and Crime Analysis
A significant portion of the episode focuses on a mass shooting in New York City and the broader issues of crime and social order. O’Reilly recounts the tragic event:
"Some nut walks into a building in midtown Manhattan and he kills four people, including a NYPD officer."
[14:00]
He contrasts the extensive coverage of this incident with the lack of attention given to a similar mass shooting in Reno, Nevada:
"At the same time he was doing this, there was a mass shooting in Reno, Nevada. It got no coverage."
[15:20]
Discussion with Rafael A. Mangual
O’Reilly invites Rafael Manguel, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, to discuss the underlying problems contributing to the rise in violent crime in NYC. They address legislative issues, policing, and potential solutions:
"Rafael, do you agree that the current laws in New York are making it difficult to control violent crime?"
[18:00]
Manguel concurs, elaborating on how recent reforms have hindered effective law enforcement:
"The bail reform as well as the two other recent state level reforms... make it impossible to incarcerate..."
[23:05]
They debate the feasibility of reversing these laws and reinvesting in the NYPD to restore social order. O’Reilly suggests that without significant changes, the situation will deteriorate further:
"This city needs about six months of martial law, and that's what it needs."
[27:00]
Closing Thoughts and Final Remarks
In his concluding remarks, O’Reilly touches on international trade tensions, specifically referencing Chinese President Xi Jinping’s attempts to secure deals in Southeast Asia:
"Chinese President Xi Jinping is going to Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia. Those folks have no money at all... Anwar Ibrahim... called a colonialist."
[28:30]
He also shares light-hearted statistics about Americans' ability to perform basic car maintenance, reflecting on societal dependencies:
"43% of Americans say they would leave their romantic partner for $1 million... 57% would quit their jobs immediately if they got a million bucks."
[30:00]
Finally, O’Reilly discusses plans for the upcoming August period, balancing staff breaks with maintaining the news flow:
"We will spot it. I'll give you a heads up... we will not take whole weeks off until the end of August."
[31:00]
He concludes by reaffirming his commitment to providing unfiltered news:
"Our memberships in billorilly.com are amazing. We got like 90% renewals. And I know you guys depend on our information flow because all the other media is lying to you and the right wing media, too."
