Introduction and Iran Nuclear Strike Discussion

In the opening segment of the No Spin News Weekend Edition at [00:01], host Bill O’Reilly welcomes Bernard Goldberg from bernardgoldberg.com. The primary focus is on President Donald Trump’s recent military action against Iran's nuclear program. Goldberg clarifies his stance, stating, “I come to my conclusions based on facts. So sometimes I agree with Donald Trump, sometimes I don't. In this case, I'm totally with President Trump” ([00:29]). He emphasizes that Trump's approach was a decisive break from previous presidents' diplomatic strategies, arguing that Iran would not have voluntarily dismantled its nuclear ambitions without strong intervention.

O’Reilly probes whether the action relates to Israel, to which Goldberg responds by highlighting the broader risk assessment, mentioning, “it has to do with risks being weighed against other risks” ([02:06]). The discussion underscores the moral imperative to prevent a Zealot Islamist regime from acquiring nuclear weapons, with Goldberg supporting Trump’s decisive measures as the right course of action.

Isolationism within the Republican Party

The conversation shifts to the growing isolationist sentiment within the Republican Party. O’Reilly points out the paradox of isolationists opposing actions that he views as necessary for national security, questioning, “they don't care whether Iran has a nuclear weapon or not. That's kind of strange, don't you think?” ([03:25]). Goldberg argues that such isolationist views are immoral, equating the progressive wing of the Democratic Party with the isolationist faction of the GOP. He criticizes the mindset that prioritizes "America first" to the extent of disregarding global stability and the inherent risks of empowering hostile nations.

Conversation with Eric Bolling

Transitioning to a dialogue with Eric Bolling from Real America's Voice ([13:39]), the discussion delves deeper into isolationism. Initially opposing the bombing due to concerns over American pilots' safety, Bolling reveals a shift in his perspective after witnessing the precision of the strike. He notes, “If it goes no further, I'm absolutely for it” ([15:38]), acknowledging the effectiveness of Trump’s actions in neutralizing Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

O’Reilly challenges Bolling’s stance by questioning the broader implications of continued isolationism, such as the potential for China to invade Taiwan if Russia succeeds in Ukraine. Bolling maintains that bolstering domestic capacities, like chip production, is more beneficial and aligns with national interests, asserting that involving the U.S. directly in foreign conflicts could escalate into larger wars ([18:08]).

Analysis of MAGA Faction Split

The dialogue highlights a significant split within the MAGA movement. Bolling describes factions within the party, noting, “I think there's a split in MAGA that needs to be 50, 50, maybe 60, 40 in favor of what Trump did” ([22:00]). This internal conflict centers around differing views on foreign intervention and national strategy. O’Reilly expresses uncertainty about the size and influence of the isolationist constituency, suggesting that unintended consequences of Trump’s actions could sway more Republicans towards isolationism ([22:26]).

Congressional Response and Ethics Discussion with Nicole Malliotakis

The episode introduces Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis from New York ([27:15]), who joins O’Reilly to discuss the recent impeachment attempts by Congress members Castron and Cortez against Trump’s Iran action. Malliotakis vehemently criticizes their actions, stating, “they had the nerve to try to impeach the president of the United States” ([27:15]). She underscores the legality of the president’s actions under the War Powers Act, asserting that Trump did not require congressional approval for targeted military strikes.

Malliotakis advocates for holding the impeaching members accountable, referencing past instances of expelling or censoring problematic Congress members. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining military integrity and condemning actions that undermine armed operations, particularly during critical missions ([30:27]).

Political Strategies and Future Projections

O’Reilly touches on the potential political repercussions of recent events, including the impact on future elections. He discusses the challenges within the New York political landscape, particularly concerning mayoral elections dominated by radical candidates. Malliotakis warns of significant economic and social fallout should such candidates prevail, predicting capital flight and declining public safety ([33:30]).

The conversation also touches upon the broader implications of isolationist policies, with O’Reilly highlighting historical failures of isolationism and the necessity for a globally engaged America to prevent chaos and maintain economic stability ([19:17]).

Conclusion and Final Thoughts

As the episode concludes, O’Reilly reiterates the critical nature of holding Congress members accountable for actions that undermine military operations and national security. He emphasizes the need for bipartisan support in addressing these challenges and ensuring that America maintains its stance against totalitarian regimes. The episode wraps up with final remarks on the importance of proactive congressional measures and the ongoing struggle between interventionist and isolationist philosophies within the Republican Party.

Transcript

[Bill O'Reilly]

Welcome to the no Spin News Weekend Edition. Joining us now from North Carolina is the purveyor, bernardgoldberg.com and I checked that out and I am very busy. So bernardgoldberg.com I check in. So you say you support the action, but you're not a big Trump fan, so explain that to me.

[Bernard Goldberg]

It's not that I'm not a big Trump fan. My basis, I'm an opinion journalist now, but like you, I was a hard news journalist for a long time. So I come to my conclusions based on facts. So sometimes I agree with Donald Trump, sometimes I don't. In this case, I'm totally with President Trump. He did the right thing. Iran was never going to voluntarily give up their nuclear program. For decades, they strung one president after another. They strung them along and they pretended that diplomacy was going to lead to Iran, the mullahs, giving up their nuclear dreams and passions. They made one big mistake, Bill. They assumed Donald Trump was like all the other presidents they were dealing with. Donald Trump was different from all the others, and he showed them how different he was on Saturday night. I'm totally with him on this.

[Bill O'Reilly]

So it doesn't have anything to do with Israel and you're Jewish, right?

[Bernard Goldberg]

No, it's, it has. I'll tell you what it has to. No, it doesn't. But I'll tell you what it does have to do with. It has to do with risks being weighed against other risks. So is there a risk that Iran will do something stupid? Is it, is there a risk that they may widen and escalate the war? Yeah, there's a risk. Of course, like you correctly said, if anybody tells you what's coming next, don't listen to them. They don't know what they're talking about.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Right.

[Bernard Goldberg]

But against that risk, Bill, you have to weigh the risk of a, of a country run by zealot Islamist clerics having a nuclear weapon.

[Bill O'Reilly]

And they're haters, and I'm not haters and killers.

[Bernard Goldberg]

And I'm not taking the risk of them having a weapon like that.

[Bill O'Reilly]

They knew about October 7th. They knew that Hamas was going to go over and slaughter those people in the kibbutz. Iran knew. And that was really, I think, what put, put Trump over the line. Yeah, the nuke thing, obviously, you can't allow a rogue regime that is on the record is we're going to kill every Jew we can, and we're going to kill Americans, too, to have a bomb that they might be able to disassemble and give to a terrorist. And Set it off someplace. Now, you and I are simpatico. And I think we've made a very logical case so far where 19 minutes into this broadcast. But then you have the isolationists in the Republican Party who, they don't care whether Iran has a nuclear weapon or not. That's kind of strange, don't you think?

[Bernard Goldberg]

I think it's immoral. I think it's immoral. I find it interesting that the isolationist wing of the Republican Party sounds a lot like the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. But beyond that, how is it moral to say, well, we don't really. They won't put it in these words. I want to be fair to them. They won't say we don't care that they have a nuclear weapon. As a matter of fact, they'll say we don't want them to have a nuclear weapon. But if you're going to be an isolationist, then what you're really saying, what it really comes down to is if they use it against Israel and kills 10 million Jews, Hitler only got 6 million. Not our problem. America first. Not our problem.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But you know, it is our problem because, look, that's just such a sophomore point of view, just on its face. Don't take the Israeli Jew thing out. So if you have a nuclear weapon that goes off on this planet anywhere, there's no, you said civilization back 10 years. Everybody is affected. Everybody.

[Bernard Goldberg]

So this gets back to my point about risk versus risk. They only talk about the risk of a wider war. Fair enough. That is a, that is a concern. But they don't talk about the risk that you just talked about and that I talked about in the column that, that's on my website. They don't talk about the risk of Ayatollah Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini having a nuclear weapon. How could you not. You have to stop that. You have to stop that. And that's what Donald Trump did. And I'll criticize him when I think he does something that's not in his or our best interest. But I'm going to praise him when he does the right thing. And this time he did the right thing.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I'm trying to get inside the mind and I will do this with Bolling tomorrow. Eric Bolling will be on, as I mentioned, of these isolationists, because they're not dumb people. Rand Paul is not a dumb person. Neither is Tucker Carlson or Steve Bannon. They're not. But I think it's a stubbornness now that's set in and they get an Awful lot of attention doing this as well. I think there's an attention factor here.

[Bernard Goldberg]

Well, I understand their concern. It's, it's, it's, it's not just words, it's a philosophy. And the philosophy is we don't want to get involved in other people's problems, other people's problem. As if the United States is, is a bystander in all of this. And, and Iraq is, is weighing on all of this too. You know, it's, we tried to change the landscape of the Mideast once and I don't think that turned out too well.

[Bill O'Reilly]

No, but it's a different situation than Iraq.

[Bernard Goldberg]

But that's hanging over this whole discussion.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But it's, they're using that to make a false equivalency. I mean it's like the Panama invasion compared to World War II, you know, Iraq.

[Bernard Goldberg]

And you know why it's an uncomparison. I'll tell you why. And you know why? Because we're dealing with a nuclear bomb right now.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Right. It's so much more intense. And the Iraq situation was a miscalculation. I mean those people say, oh, the government lied to us about, they knew that Saddam didn't have that. That is so much garbage. Saddam told his generals, all right, that he had the weapons because he wanted to intimidate those generals. And that's what the New York Times reported. And that's why it got out of control. Now, final question for you. When you're, when we're looking at the landscape here. I picked out a few people and I don't like to do this. In my younger days I did it more. But now I'm watching people attack other people personally for money. And this is what they do on social media. They attack people personally, they get more eyeballs and they can sell ads. It's about money, okay? That's why they're doing it. Let's face it, the US economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax Advantage Gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401k tax and penalty free with billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five star reviews and an A from the Better Business Bureau. You can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-3265-5-766 or text BILL to 998-899. Again, that's 866-326-5576 or text BILL To 998-899. She's made up her mind to live.

[Eric Bolling]

Pretty smart, learn to bud Spends a little less and puts more into savings. Keeps the blood pressure low and credit.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Score raises.

[Eric Bolling]

Boring money moves. Make kind of lame songs, but they.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Sound pretty sweet to your wallet. BNC Bank.

[Eric Bolling]

Brilliantly boring since 1865, I think.

[Bill O'Reilly]

When I single out a Chuck Schumer. Am I being too harsh on the senator?

[Bernard Goldberg]

But when you said he's a blanking hypocrite, what word did you mean when you said blanking?

[Bill O'Reilly]

I don't want to shock you. I don't want to shock your sensibilities. Goldberg, since you worked in a CBS newsroom for like, 50 years, you've heard the real word before.

[Bernard Goldberg]

Here's the thing that gets me about Chuck Schumer. He had a perfect score on his SATs before he went to Harvard. He's a bright guy. Yeah. What a wasted use of intellect to become a political hack. That's my take on Chuck Schumer.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I sit there and does he think that guys like me are not going to trace him back to what he did when Obama dropped the bombs on Libya? And you have a totally different position. And then when you ask him about it, he'll never do an interview. He'll never, ever answer those questions. Look, Ocasio Cortez, I said this on Piers Morgan. I went on his show tonight and I said, look, I don't want to be uncharitable to a fellow terrier, so I have a degree from Boston University as well. But she's simply not smart enough to hold the job as a congressperson. She's just not smart enough.

[Bernard Goldberg]

You don't have to be that smart.

[Bill O'Reilly]

No, but she's not smart even at your low bar, okay? She doesn't even reach your low bar. That's the frame of reference that that woman has. Zero. And I had to say it to put it into some kind of perspective. Like, for me to pick on her would be like kicking a little cocker spaniel. It's not fair, Schumer know the matter.

[Bernard Goldberg]

I know how much you dislike cliches, and so do I. I dislike them as much as you do. But here's one. Donald Trump could find a cure for cancer, and she'd be opposed to Donald Trump for finding a cure for cancer. So I don't. Let's not take her that seriously.

[Bill O'Reilly]

No, I agree with that and that's why I didn't. But the other guy from Illinois. But they both should be brought up in front of this. You don't object to that, right? How? Ethics Committee, while we have people in the field, you're doing it.

[Bernard Goldberg]

I don't, I think no matter what your political philosophy, you don't do something that jeopardizes American military forces while they're in the midst of an operation. I don't do that.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I, you know, it's just almost impossible to believe that these people are that stupid that they would do it. They didn't think about it. They just want to run out there and pander their far left base. All right. The website is bernardgoldberg.com it's like billorilly.com except my name is Irish and Goldberg is Jewish. Just put the both names in and then you'll get two good websites. Appreciate it, Bernie. Thanks very much.

[Bernard Goldberg]

Thanks, Bill.

[Bill O'Reilly]

You're listening to the no Spin News Weekend edition. Now, the opposition to Trump's Iranian decision didn't always come from the left. There were some conservative people who didn't like it, and they're isolationist people. One of them is Eric Bolling. I think, I think it. Because I can't quite make out Bolling's point of view. Roll a tape.

[Eric Bolling]

Let's be honest. So MAGA kind of has always believed that Trump was not going to be involved in foreign wars. This is a bit of a, Well, a certain faction of MAGA believes that this is, this is a tough pill to swallow, that we're actually bombing another country, especially because could it lead to World War iii?

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay. So joining us now is the effervescent Eric Bolling from West Palm beach, where he's tanned, locked and loaded.

[Eric Bolling]

He does program and never banal for the year.

[Bill O'Reilly]

And thank God, thank God for that. He does a program bowling on Real America's Voice. So bowling. Are you for or against the bombing? Just yes or no.

[Eric Bolling]

Yes, I am for or against the bombing. Let me explain, if I may. I was against the bombing because I hate the idea of an American pilot in harm's way.

[Bernard Goldberg]

I don't know.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, so you, at first, at first you were against it.

[Eric Bolling]

And I, and, and yeah, and further explained that I was against it because we had complete. Or not we. I'm sorry, I correct myself because Trump did the same thing. Prior to the bombing, Israel had complete control of the airspace over Tehran, over the whole country of Iran. They were getting things done. I loved what they were doing. They were relentless. People were saying, okay, you know, you made your point in Israel. No, no, no. They were going to finish the job. Now did they have the 200 mile into the side of the mountain bunker busters? They didn't at the time. And then the. My side or my brain, this side of my brain would say, okay, we'll sell it to them. Sell Israel the bunker buster bomb. Sell them in the mop. Mop. Train a pilot. I don't care if it takes a month. Train the pilot how to fly it. How's this? Get a dual citizen Israeli American pilot to fly it over. Drop the wouldn't have our fingerprints on.

[Bill O'Reilly]

None of that, none of that would ever happen in any way at all. Because we are the only people in the world that have that technology. We're not going to hand it off to Israel. Okay? And there's not going to be any pilots that are not under under the supervision of the Pentagon. Never, ever going to happen. Now that the bombing, now that the bombing has happened.

[Eric Bolling]

Yes. Yes.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay. Yes.

[Eric Bolling]

Now I look back at so far, we're what, 36 hours out and it looks like a surgical strike. That was precision. It was, as Pete Hegseth tells us, it obliterated the nuclear capability.

[Bill O'Reilly]

We all know that. Are you for it or against it? Now.

[Eric Bolling]

If it goes no further, Bill, I'm absolutely for it and I think it's going to go no further because Air Force One, Marine One, and saying Israel and Iran, they don't know what the f. They're doing. Use the word. And I think he told the world that was one and done. And we're, we're done. And it was, it was, it was magical. It was almost spiritual. I think back to the day Trump was shot in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania. Bill, just bear with me one second. One inch either way. Now, I'm not just saying one inch towards his head would have killed the would be next president, but one inch away from his ear and it wouldn't. Yes, it would have been an assassination attempt. It wouldn't have the, the massive implications it does, but those of if you believe in God, if you believe in a higher power, if you believe in the spirit, whatever you believe in, there's a reason he got hit in the air and not taken out and not missed them completely. And this may be the reason because what he did in the last 36 hours made the world a safer place.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, so now you've evolved on that, but you're still essentially an isolationist and you don't support us funding Zelensky in Ukraine, or am I wrong on that?

[Eric Bolling]

No, you're 100% right.

[Bill O'Reilly]

You don't want any money going to Ukraine, right?

[Eric Bolling]

Correct.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, so if, if we pull out back and Putin takes the whole country, which is what he wants to do, then, you know, China goes to Taiwan, takes that. It's. Is that okay with you?

[Eric Bolling]

I mean, is it okay? I think a smart president would beef up our chip capacity, chip producing capacity in the United States because frankly, Taiwan, the best interest to us in Taiwan is their ability to produce Silicon Valley type chips. If we can up our, our game with Nvidia and the other chip makers, even Taiwan Semiconductor for that matter, I think it's none of our business. If China.

[Bill O'Reilly]

So you let, you let Taiwan go, you let Ukraine go, why would they stop then? Why wouldn't Putin then go to Moldova? Why wouldn't China then move into South Korea and help the nut in North Korea destabilize that? So in isolation is basically saying, look.

[Eric Bolling]

No, that, that's, that's, no, you don't know, may have, have eyes on the prize with further, you know, other countries in Europe.

[Bill O'Reilly]

There's no guarantee of anything other than my eyewitness report when I was in China. And I can tell you the 100% certainty. If Putin's allowed to take over Ukraine, then China will march into Taiwan. That's what will happen 100%. So if you're okay with that, how.

[Eric Bolling]

Will that affect you?

[Bill O'Reilly]

BILL o'reilly how it will affect is it causes chaos in the world. It destabilizes the entire world. When you have two, when you have Two, hey, when you have two totalitarian regimes expanding and taking over, foreign countries invading and taking over, you do not have a safe world. You cannot hide in Idaho and worldwide economy will just be battered. And you think it's bad now the conflicts, where do you see the chaos that those totalitarian nations will cause if not restrained? And this is history bowling. And you can't argue history with me because I'll, you know, I'll dissolve you into pudding. But it's history. All right. Isolationism has never worked, particularly in a society now that's intertwined planet wise.

[Eric Bolling]

I don't necessarily think I'm a total isolationist. I may, I may anti war America first human being, but America is not.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Going to be first. China will be first.

[Eric Bolling]

We still are part of NATO. And I, I've never said.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But you don't want military action.

[Eric Bolling]

Well, if you really don't want Putin to take Ukraine, put them in NATO and then you've opened yourself a whole.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Food'S not going to go.

[Eric Bolling]

Put Ukraine in NATO, put Ukraine and NATO, allow Ukraine to enter.

[Bill O'Reilly]

That would, that would, then that would give justification. If you allowed Ukraine into NATO, that would heighten Putin's justification to the Russian people, to the only people that can stop them at this point. All right, so now you have, you're an isolationist. Bannon is Steve Bannon. Tucker Carlson is. How big do you think that constituency is? What within the Republican Party, the isolationist movement, how big is it?

[Eric Bolling]

You know, I think it was huge until Trump decided to go forth with this. Like I think a lot of we, many of us, I call Steve Bannon the true north of the original Gangster Maga crew. He was the original don of that. And I think until Trump actually went forward in, in Iran with a bombing that split people, then they put people like Tucker, I think Tucker was more, more the hardliner against it. And Steve and, and the Hannity and Mark Levin were very much, very much pushing for Trump to go ahead and.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, where are we now? Now where are we in your opinion?

[Eric Bolling]

I think there's a, there's a, there's a split in MAGA that needs to be 50, 50, maybe 60, 40 in favor of what Trump did, maybe 70, 30 in favor of.

[Bill O'Reilly]

So you don't know. All right, because I don't know either. I mean, I suspect that most Republicans support Trump in this action. Now if it goes south and all of these other things happen, unintended consequences, which Iran is too weak to really make anything happen but say something crazy did happen, then you Would get more people. More would come over to the isolationist movement. All right, last word.

[Eric Bolling]

To do anything aggressive here. They're not too weak to, you know, to fortify and finance their sleeper cells and their, their Houthis and their sleeper cells.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Always going to happen.

[Eric Bolling]

Attack us internally on a smaller basis. Which.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But then that's not because of the bombing. They were. They're already here. They just made a big bus. They just made a big bus in Connecticut. These people were here.

[Eric Bolling]

Of the 2 million Iranians who are in this country, quite a lot, which is great.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Biden let them all in. Biden let them all in. So they're already here. They don't need an excuse. Okay. They're here and they're not here to get a job at 7:11. Last question for you. The final word on this isn't going to be until Trump leaves office. Okay. Because it's not like Iran. They may go away. The army may overthrow them all. Let's hope. But Putin, he's a psychotic. I mean, you're reading my book now. I know Confronting Evil. And when you see how psychotic that man is, that we need a strong leader and there have been accusations that Trump is too soft about Putin. There have been accusations he's too soft on him. So we're never going to have a peaceful world. Last word.

[Eric Bolling]

I 100% agree. By the way, your book is phenomenal. This is the best book.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Thank you.

[Eric Bolling]

I've read. I just started, I received it yesterday, started paging through it last. I started reading it. So I want to just have a little bit of an idea what it's about. It's gripping. It's really, it's your best work so far with the, maybe the exception of you throwing JP Morgan and Rockefeller into the mix with the evil. With the evil people.

[Bill O'Reilly]

They are evil.

[Eric Bolling]

But we'll get back. We could talk about that another time. But it was fascinating how you take people from this man won't be alive at the end of the day or tomorrow. And then you explain why and then you go back to the roots of the evil that's causing so much of the evil in the world. It's fantastic book. Where are we going from here? I would say MAGA needs to, needs to get their self piece together again. Figure it out. And again, hopefully it's done. Hopefully we're finished. Hopefully.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Absolutely.

[Eric Bolling]

Nobody wants to give, give nukes to Iran or hopefully China doesn't give nukes.

[Bill O'Reilly]

They're not going to give nukes.

[Eric Bolling]

May escalate it. And that would that would be bad. But I think right now Donald Trump has proven to the world that. You don't dispute Donald Trump. I dispute his ideas on tariffs. And so far I'm wrong. I didn't think we should attack Iran as of, you know, this day, right now, today.

[Bill O'Reilly]

All right.

[Eric Bolling]

Probably will.

[Bill O'Reilly]

We won't know till the end of.

[Eric Bolling]

The and I hope I'm wrong forever.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay. I'm going to do tariffs now. We won't know till the end of the year. Bowling. Thanks very much, everybody. Check out bowling. All right. On Real America's Voice. And we'll talk again soon. Thanks, Eric. This is the no Spin News WEEKEND edition. So Cassian is a congressman from Illinois. And he and Cortez, while American pilots were still in the mission in the skies, called for the impeachment of Donald Trump on Saturday night. While they were doing that. Now, I researched it. If this had been a declared war, they those two Congress people would have been charged with treason. But you can't charge him with treason. Now what you can do is bring him in front of the House Ethics Committee to explain themselves. Now, as we told you yesterday, the chairman of that committee is Congressman Michael Guest from Mississippi. And when we called him, he was very disrespectful to us, doesn't care about the issue at all. That was pretty shocking to me. I have no idea why this guy doesn't care about this. I do know that the approval rating for Congress is below 20%. And maybe that's one of the reasons why the folks don't think that Congress is proactive in situations like this. So I booked a congressperson who is proactive. Okay. Her name is Nicole Meliotekis and she is a congresswoman from New York. Are you as outraged as I am about Castin and Cortez?

[Nicole Malliotakis]

Well, I'm outraged by the whole bunch, the fact that they not only did that on Saturday night, but that they had the nerve to try to impeach the president of the United States, 79 members simply because he wanted to take away Iran's nuclear capability. I mean, whose side are they on? It really begs the question, what is their intention in being in Congress when they don't want to see us being successful in this mission? And the president did not need any authorization from Congress to do what he did. These were targeted military strikes. This was a threat to the United States, the Middle east, the entire world. And it needed to be eliminated. And the fact that the president took this action, by the way, as so many presidents have done before, without congressional approval, whether it's Republican or Democrat. And President Obama was probably the one who did it the most, quite frankly.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well look, we went over that and the War Powers act clearly says that all Presidents have a 60 day window to use military action in protecting the United States. That's going nowhere. But the fact that these two would have such poor judgment, Castin and you know, Ocasio Cortez, a total loon. I mean this woman is so far out there it's ridiculous. But there's got to be some kind of quality control in the House of Representatives.

[Nicole Malliotakis]

They should certainly be questioned for their role. What, what, what decision making processes they go through that they thought this was a good idea.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I'd like to know.

[Nicole Malliotakis]

So you can bring you very fair assessment.

[Bill O'Reilly]

You could bring an action to the Ethics Committee and say I want to see him in here. And they would have to respect that action. I think if you are and you could get others to do it too, I'm sure did that then I'd have to haul them in.

And I'm not just saying that because I work here. Get [e-mail].

[Nicole Malliotakis]

Yeah, well I think that's a conversation that some of the members are going to be having with the speaker to see what our options are and how we can hold these members accountable. And, and it needs to be addressed because this is actually very serious what occurred here.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Absolutely. You need to send a message, all right. That undermining the American military in a time of when they're on a mission there could be killed. Remember these pilots still in the air. They're still in the air when these two loons did this. And as I said, if we were declared war, they'd be on charges of treason right now. So when you see all of this craziness, because, you know, the body and most Americans watching me right now all over the world, not only Americans, they're going, is, is Congress really effective anymore? Or is it so tribal, is it so divided that there are no standards left because the parties hate each other and Democrats hate Trump and Republicans hate the radicals? Is it beyond repair?

[Nicole Malliotakis]

Look, I think that there is obviously a lot of division, there are a lot of factions, but we've proven to be successful in holding previous members accountable. Whether it was the expulsion of George Santos or whether it be the censorship of multiple members, whether it be Ilhan Omar being removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee for her blatant anti Semitism and anti American actions. Those are just a couple of examples. But what I will say is that even with, even with Bowman, look what happened with him. He pulled the fire alarm and we, we censored him, and then he was voted out as a result of the actions. And I think it was because members of Congress amplified how. What a horrible decision he made in trying to disrupt government seating.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Thank you for giving me those.

[Nicole Malliotakis]

We try to do what we can. I mean, it's always difficult. And obviously, when you have a slow, slim minority majority, as we do, it's hard to get every single Republican to cooperate. But oftentimes we do see bipartisan support for some of these measures.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Let's hope this thing goes to the Ethics Committee. One more question about man Donnie, because you're a New Yorker. So our flagship radio station wabc, and I'm doing a big takeout tonight about how radical this guy is and how destructive he's going to be if he does become mayor. People don't understand, and I'm going to do this right after we say goodbye to you, that only 22% of eligible voters showed up was 100 degrees yesterday. So he's not a lock to be mayor. But I'm going to submit to you that if this guy becomes mayor of New York City, it is over for the city. The flight of capital out of the city will be historic. I mean, people are not going to. Corporations aren't going to pay 14, 15% tax, which is what he. He wants to double the corporate tax now, and he wants a $30 an hour minimum wage. Bodega going to pay 30 bucks an hour. So I wonder what your perspective was on him.

[Nicole Malliotakis]

Well, you'll see capital flee. You'll see residents flee. You will see law enforcement flee. This is somebody who has no respect for enforcement. Sadly, we've seen a lot of anti Semitic actions and words as well. And we are very concerned what this will mean at the, at the core for public safety, for quality of life, for affordability in New York City. And my mother fled a communist country to see somebody who is proud to be a Democrat, socialist, but really is a communist become mayor of the city of New York. An individual who's only been a citizen of this country for, for seven years, to become mayor of the most important economic engine of our nation is very scary. The largest city in the world, by the way, does not have at all the experience to run this city. So there's, there's that as well. So we have to do whatever we can to figure out what the next steps are for Democrats, Independents and Republicans to work together to elect someone who can defeat him. And, and you know, it's interesting to see how the ticket may, may turn out here if Cuomo stays on the ticket, if, if Adam stays on the ticket and you have this three way split perhaps is an opportunity for a Republican to get in even with as little as 30% of the vote. So we need to strategize here and all common sense New Yorkers, regardless of what party you are from, have to figure out what path we're going to take to move forward to elect whoever's going to be the person who can defeat this guy.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah. Even the New York Times says he's too radical. It's crazy. Congresswoman, thanks very much for being a stand up person and let us know if you do decide to do anything with the Ethics Committee because we're very involved with that story, as you know.
