Episode: O'Reilly Update Morning Edition – September 29, 2025

Host: Bill O’Reilly
Date: September 29, 2025

Episode Overview

In this Morning Edition, Bill O’Reilly addresses the persistence of partisan divisions following the 2020 presidential election and critiques the ongoing political antagonism directed at both Joe Biden and Donald Trump. He questions the patriotism of those rooting against the sitting president's success for partisan gain, while reflecting on his own stance during the Biden administration.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Post-2020 Election Allegiances and Allegations

O’Reilly reflects on how many Americans, particularly Biden’s detractors, were "focused on allegations of voter fraud" and maintained the belief that "Donald Trump won."
He comments on the atmosphere:

“You'll remember it was mania. Well, we watched the situation and reported it with precision, not speculation.”
(00:19)

2. O’Reilly’s Critique of President Biden

States a lack of confidence in Biden’s ability from the outset and claims vindication:

“Mr. Biden then assumed office. I had little confidence in his ability and I stated that I was proved correct. Second worst president ever in my estimation.”
(00:29)
Emphasizes he did not wish for Biden to fail as president; rather, he hoped for solutions to major issues:

“I was not rooting for President Biden to fail. I wanted him to bring down prices, to get a ceasefire in Ukraine, to seal the southern border.”
(00:37)
Positioning himself as a patriot, O’Reilly asserts:

“My stance was as an American, to root for the president to solve problems.”
(00:44)

3. Criticism of "Corrupt Media" and Anti-Trump Sentiment

Frames current media coverage as inherently antagonistic toward Donald Trump:

“Many want President Trump to fail at deporting migrant criminals, uncovering wasteful spending, getting Putin to stop killing people.”
(00:49)
Highlights what he sees as destructive partisanship:

“Angry partisans are hammering Donald Trump on every single issue. They want things in America to get worse so he will suffer.”
(00:55)

4. Patriotism vs. Partisan Hatred

O’Reilly draws a clear line between opposition and rooting against the nation’s success:

“I believe that's anti American. No question in my mind. Those haters are rooting against their own country. And that is the truth.”

After Joe Biden was elected president in 2020, many of his detractors, those who voted against him, focused on allegations of voter fraud. They believe Donald Trump won. You'll remember it was mania. Well, we watched the situation and reported it with precision, not speculation. Mr. Biden then assumed office. I had little confidence in his ability and I stated that I was proved correct. Second worst president ever in my estimation. But along the way, I was not rooting for President Biden to fail. I wanted him to bring down prices, to get a ceasefire in Ukraine, to seal the southern border. My stance was as an American, to root for the president to solve problems. Of course, Joe Biden let me down big time today in the corrupt media. Many want President Trump to fail at deporting migrant criminals, uncovering wasteful spending, getting Putin to stop killing people. Angry partisans are hammering Donald Trump on every single issue. They want things in America to get worse so he will suffer. I believe that's anti American. No question in my mind. Those haters are rooting against their own country. And that is the truth.
