Date: December 31, 2025
Host: Bill O’Reilly

Main Theme

Bill O’Reilly leads this special year-end episode by offering his predictions for 2025, focusing on judicial decisions, the changing media landscape, U.S. politics (including New York City’s mayoral race), economic conditions, and global affairs. O’Reilly intertwines analysis with his characteristic no-nonsense tone, highlights the validation of several prior forecasts, and invites discussion on critical policy and cultural changes impacting the country.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Supreme Court Ruling on Judge Shopping (00:32 - 07:49)

• O’Reilly revisits his June prediction that the Supreme Court would act to limit the widespread use of nationwide injunctions by district judges — particularly in the context of partisan legal maneuvers aimed at undermining executive orders.
  • Key Insight: The Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling now restricts judges to ruling within their own jurisdiction rather than stopping federal policy nationwide.
  • O’Reilly’s Take: He criticizes the prior system as “insane” and commends the Court’s move for restoring rational checks and balances.
  • Notable Quote:

    “Some pinhead judge in Sacramento could stop an entire executive order for the entire country. Now, I knew this was insane, and so did you.” (03:26 - O’Reilly)

2. Media Shifts: Stephen Colbert and Network TV (07:49 - 08:15; 08:15 - 12:21)

• Discusses the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show, attributing it to a change in CBS’s ownership and Colbert’s declining relevance and ratings.
  • Reasons for Cancellation: Corporate takeover by Skydance, a more conservative buyer, and $40M yearly losses for Colbert’s show.
  • O’Reilly Draws a Bigger Lesson: Network TV as a whole is “finished”; the media ecosystem is rapidly shifting.
  • On Late Night TV: Briefly recalls his own appearances and compares Colbert’s intent to other hosts.
  • Notable Quote:

    “Colbert, of all of them, he’s my least favorite because he was in it to harm people with whom he disagrees. That’s what he was in it for.” (05:58 - O’Reilly)

3. New York City Politics & Mayoral Race (08:15 - 14:38)

• O’Reilly updates on the NYC mayoral race: Eric Adams drops out as predicted; “ma’am Donnie” (O'Reilly's term for candidate Mandami) surges ahead.
  • Significance: If Mandami, whom O’Reilly describes as a “communist” and “soft on crime,” wins, NYC could face economic and social turmoil—a ripple effect for all of the U.S.
  • Police Union Critique: O’Reilly is frustrated with the lack of vocal police union support in high-profile cases (notably an attack on NYPD officers).
  • Exodus Prediction: Predicts residents and businesses will flee NYC, impacting Florida, Carolinas, and Tennessee due to NYC’s decline.
  • Notable Quotes:

    “If New York City collapses, that will ripple through the entire country because this is the financial center of the country.” (08:33 - O’Reilly)
    “There’s gonna be an exodus out of here.” (12:55 - O’Reilly)

4. Disney Parks: Cost Surge & Business Outlook (10:15 - 12:21)

• Cites dramatic ticket price increases at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, predicting a tough financial year for Disney parks.
  • “Inspire Key” annual pass in Anaheim now $1,900; Florida peak day tickets hit $209.
  • Families will increasingly balk at costs.
  • O’Reilly’s Outlook: Disney parks are pricing out the typical American family.
  • Light Humor: Comments on needing a “rich uncle” for a Disney trip.

5. Crime and Criminal Justice Issues (13:53 - 14:38)

• Co-host Bernard Goldberg joins to discuss broken enforcement in NYC.
  • Cites the case of two NYPD officers attacked, with the accused repeatedly let out on bail and the case delayed 20 times.
  • Argues this is emblematic of a broken system, with direct blame put on Bronx DA Darcel Clark and the broader legislative environment.
  • Notable Exchange:

    E: “You get arrested for assault to a police officer. … Now, five months later, Mr. McCleary gets locked up for an illegal gun... he’s still out. He’s a two time walking indictment.”
    C (O’Reilly): “Right.”
    E: “Walking around our streets. This is broken.” (14:07-14:34)

6. Supreme Court & Tariffs – Economic Stakes (14:38 - 16:50)

• O’Reilly predicts the Supreme Court will uphold the President’s authority to impose tariffs unilaterally. If that power is struck down, he warns of a dramatic stock market plunge.
  • Notable Quote:

    “If the Supreme Court were to rule that the President … does not have the power to impose tariffs without congressional approval, stock market get down 5,000 points in one day...” (14:54 - O’Reilly)

7. Venezuela: Regime Change Forecast (16:50 - 18:08)

  • Warns that while mortgage rates drop, food prices remain stubbornly high.
  • Draws political implications: If food prices fall, Republicans stand to benefit in the coming elections.
  • Recap of 2025 congressional races: Republicans still hold the House majority.
