Unknown Speaker 1
Hey, I like your new RAV4.
- [00:18]
Unknown Speaker 2
Thanks.
- [00:18]
Bill O'Reilly
Yours too.
- [00:19]
Unknown Speaker 1
What does RAV stand for anyway?
- [00:21]
Unknown Political Commentator
To me, it's the remarkably advanced vehicle.
- [00:24]
Unknown Speaker 1
Really? To me, it's the Runway approved vehicle for its amazing style.
- [00:29]
Bill O'Reilly
What about remarkably adaptable vehicle because of
- [00:31]
Unknown Speaker 1
its versatile cargo space or really admired vehicle.
- [00:34]
Interviewer/Host
Oh, or really awesome vehicle.
- [00:36]
Unknown Speaker 1
It really is the recreational activity vehicle, the stylish 2026 Toyota RAV4 Limited. What's your RAV4?
- [00:48]
Bill O'Reilly
I'm Bill O'Reilly. You're listening to around the World. Let's begin. So you may remember that over super bowl weekend I shot a special in San Francisco, California, where I showed you how out of control the city is. Now, what I mean by that is there is no public safety in the city and there are thousands of miscreants, mostly drug addicts, hardcore drug addicts, roaming around doing mischief. And the city of San Francisco, the state of California, spent billions of dollars trying to get these people in homes. And the people are too afraid to go into the public housing because they get the hell beat out of them by other drug addicts and gang members and whatever. They're easy marks. So everybody has a knife in San Francisco, they don't carry guns. They carry knives. And the people that supply the narcotics are Honduran illegal immigrant gang members. Nothing is being done about any of this. So therefore, if you walk in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, you put yourself at risk. I did it, okay? And it's revolting and it shouldn't be happening in America, but the people of San Francisco allow it to happen by voting for far left people who say, no, we don't want to put anybody in prison. No, we don't want to deal with the drug addiction. We don't want to isolate them. We don't give them force, mandatory rehab. We're not going to do any of that. We're not going to do anything. We're going to let them roll them around. They've been going on for a decade. All right? You remember that. So San Francisco is the apex of liberalism. It's more from just liberalism to progressivism and now communism. All right. Beautiful town, by the way, but ruined, completely ruined. So Nancy Pelosi is retiring. Nancy Pelosi lives in a lavish house in a neighborhood called Pacific Heights, where she's got security. She doesn't have to look at anybody who's sticking a needle in their neck. She didn't have to do that, okay? And to her, it doesn't really matter. If it did matter, she would have done something about it a long time ago. And she didn't. Zero. The guy who's going to run for her seat is named Scott Wiener. He's gay and he's Jewish and Nancy pronounced him her successor because it's a democratic town and Wiener will win. However, there are fanatics in San Francisco who don't like Scott Wiener. Listen to this. Go.
- [03:44]
Protester/Activist
I think your legislation on trans, on trans issues and your legislation specifically protecting queers on a sex offender registry is fantastic. Like, I really applaud you for that and I think you deserve to be here for that. But I think you're leg. I think your, your housing policy, and specifically your housing policy aligning with gimby's, and I think your, your. And I think your policy on the
- [04:17]
Unknown Speaker 2
genocide in Gaza, and I think policy on the genocide in Gaza, it's terrible.
- [04:23]
Bill O'Reilly
I think belong here.
- [04:26]
Unknown Speaker 2
You do not belong here. You do any. Wonderful. You've been wonderful for trans people. You've been terrible. And you've been terrible. You've been terrible. You've been terrible at Gaza. You do not belong here anymore, Scott. And it breaks my heart.
- [04:49]
Bill O'Reilly
So that's what you're going to get with the far left. Shout downs, cancellation threats, and that's the way they do business, okay? Now most Americans, they go blithe through life. They don't know what communism is, what socialism is, what progressivism is. They don't know. Scott Weiner knows. Now, Scott, how do you like it? How do you like it? So they're shouting you down, they're in your face, using obscenities, saying, you got to get out of here. You don't deserve to run. You don't deserve anything. You got to get out because we disagree with your policy on Gaza. This is not democracy. This is mob rule. And now I looked around to try to find, because you have to do that these days, any kind of correspondence on the right where loons come out and threaten people with whom they disagree. Now maybe it's coming, but it hasn't been here so far. Okay, you can say the Capitol on January 6, you can say that was right wing driven and you'd be right. And it was totally inappropriate, you'd be right. But it wasn't a individual thing. It was. We're mad. We Believe that the election was stolen. Whatever we believe. So we're going to break into the Capitol and commit crimes. Okay. So there are problems on both sides, but the left specializes in demonizing anyone with whom they disagree. And I'm the poster boy for that. They try to get me for 20 years. 20 years trumping up stuff, lying about me, attacking my family. I have police at one point in my house overnight because these people would congregate and they would hurt my children and me. And this is mob rule that comes with communism, socialism. That's where it comes with that. So no opposing point of view is tolerated. Scott Wiener, out of here. Okay. You're good on trans issues, guy. Whatever Scott wants. Probably wants government to pay everything or something.
- [07:27]
Unknown Speaker 3
I don't know.
- [07:28]
Bill O'Reilly
I don't care. All right. But once Scott departs from the agenda of the far left, that all the Gazans are innocent and Israel's a fascist nation, the United States is a fascist once. Scott isn't militant enough on that. God, God, you can't be here. No. And the cancellation stuff that started this trend and nobody has effectively canceled the cancelers. Nobody has gone after them because they're very well funded people. This is a Soros money, ACLU money, big money behind them, lawyers behind them. Okay. And so it's hard to refute them. You can do it rhetorically, as I do. And I don't want decent American law abiding people to go out in the streets and do that. I don't want that. If you're participating in mob rule, that is un American, we are seeing plenty of it. When you see that in San Francisco, you know things are out of control. Here's my NewsNation appearance with Leland Vitter.
- [08:57]
Interviewer/Host
Democrats believe Trump is ruining the American dream. Republicans say America is going to become Cuba if the Democrats take over. Bill, have I correctly diagnosed the problem?
- [09:07]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, I'd say you are doing broad strokes because there is a reason that this is all happening. What people don't understand because they're not taught in school anything about civics and history is that 50% half of the colonists want to stay with the King. They didn't like the new vision. They didn't want freedom. They wanted to stay in the comfy arms of the monarchy. That's why there was a war, a long war. And this has happened in the Civil War with slavery, and it happens periodically throughout history of our country. What's different now is a mentality, a feeling, malaise that the country owes us something. The country owes us, okay? And there is A large voter population, mostly in the urban centers, who believe that they believe you owe me rather than I'm buying into the opportunity situation. I'm going to work hard and I'm going to make a life for myself that's better than my parents or whatever. No, no, no, that's too difficult. We don't want to do that. We want it handed to us. And there are a variety of people responsible for that. Craven politicians, terrible parents, schools that are ideological rather than educational. But the combination has grown. This point of view that, hey, come on, where's mine? Let's have it. And that's what the progressives, the communists, because Mandani is a communist. That's what he wants. He wants to control the means of production.
- [11:14]
Interviewer/Host
He's an Islamist. There's also. Yeah, well, he's an Islamist too, and there's an interaction there. Peter Laffin wrote this. Laffin is by no means a fainting heart liberal. Trump had a once in a lifetime opportunity to delegitimize the opposition after 2024 through effective conservative governance and honorable comportment. But he couldn't escape his impulsiveness and he could very well go down as a figure who ushered in socialism in the United States. Is he wrong?
- [11:48]
Bill O'Reilly
Yes. I mean, that's just foolish, that whole statement. What Donald Trump did was he came in to fix problems. He was a deal maker. And the first problem he fixed with a massive 15 million human beings pouring into this country with very little attachment to the country, they don't understand what the capitalism system is. They don't understand the traditions of America. I mean, I'm saying they. There are exceptions, of course.
- [12:21]
Interviewer/Host
So you're talking about the illegal immigrants. Don't.
- [12:24]
Unknown Speaker 3
Yeah.
- [12:25]
Interviewer/Host
Well, what's interesting to me though, is that the people who are voting for the socialists are the white, overeducated, over credentialed, under successful baristas who. Your point? Says they think America owes them something. It was Marco Rubio, the child of immigrants from Cuba, who I think described it best. Take a listen.
- [12:46]
Marco Rubio
My hope for America is what it's always been. I think it's the hope I hope we all share. We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything, where you're not limited by the circumstances of your birthday, by the color of your skin, by your ethnicity. But frankly, it's a place where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential.
- [13:04]
Interviewer/Host
So is that lost now?
- [13:06]
Bill O'Reilly
Well, Rubio is speaking from experience because his parents were thrown out of Cuba and Or his grandparents. But I'll submit to you that California is a perfect example of. What I'm saying is that here's a state, the largest in the country, that has literally been taken over by progressives that use outside methods to win at the ballot box.
- [13:32]
Unknown Speaker 3
All right.
- [13:33]
Bill O'Reilly
Is the biggest fraud I've ever seen in US Electoral history where you can get a driver's license if you're from Guatemala and you're not here legally, and then use the driver's license to register to vote. I mean, come on. So flood the zone.
- [13:54]
Interviewer/Host
Right. I get where the election's coming from, but I'm trying. Going back to these numbers, which I think is amazing, the percentage of people.
- [14:00]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, but those numbers are not like democratic numbers.
- [14:05]
Unknown Speaker 2
Right.
- [14:06]
Interviewer/Host
But 70. Back when you were doing the Factor, when the Factor was in its heyday, 2004, 70% of Americans were very proud. Now that number's at 33. What has happened? And you're saying it's all the fault of Democrats, Correct?
- [14:21]
Bill O'Reilly
Well, it's all coming out of the Democratic Party. The numbers for Republicans are 70% and up. They're proud of their country. So obviously that's the dissenting party, the Democrats. But the numbers of yuppies. We'll bring that word back, who don't want to compete, they pale in comparison to the people who are told they're victims. And that's big in schools. Now you're a victim. The oligarchs. This is Bernie Sanders. They make it impossible for you to succeed in America. America's not a good country because the billionaires get all the money and you don't get anything. That's what they peddle. They're peddling all this stuff. And people who don't understand our culture don't understand how corporations work. They buy it. And that's where the center of this far left movement is. And again, California proves it.
- [15:21]
Interviewer/Host
What's interesting about these numbers, to your point, though, is, is that when. When there's a Democrat in office, the number of Democrats who think they're proud of the country goes up, goes down. When there's a Republican office, among Republicans, the number stays pretty much the same. Republicans are proud of the country regardless of who's in power. But you say it's people who don't understand America. These are the people who are the most virulent advocates for socialism, are often the most educated. And what I'm trying to get at here is how is it that 250 years on this idea of socialism has taken over? Is this you equated it earlier to the revolution when there was a long war, and to the Civil War, when there was a long war. If that's where we're at 250 years in because of socialism, that is a whole different viewpoint of what America is compared to the European tourists who are happy about cheap gas.
- [16:16]
Bill O'Reilly
Well, it's a whole different world. So the world my parents inhabited was Post World War II, and they got through the Depression and nobody was handing anybody anything. They were going to work, and they worked hard. Now you've got social media telling you all kinds of nonsense. You've got derelict schools run by teachers unions that are communist. I mean, you've got powerful forces telling urchins in the classroom, hey, you live in a crummy country. Hey, you don't have a chance. That's what's happening. So we're living in a different world that the baby boomers lived in. We're living in a world of entitlement, and we'll give you stuff, and that's the way to power in this country. That's how you get power. And Sanders is the godfather of this. Bernie Sanders. How many times have you heard him say it?
- [17:08]
Interviewer/Host
Donald Trump, though, promised people a lot of stuff during the election. He's not some massive conservative.
- [17:14]
Bill O'Reilly
No, but he's not a ideologue, either. He's a dealmaker. So he sees a problem like the border and he fixes it. I mean, he's not interested in ideology like Bernie Sanders is. He wants.
- [17:27]
Interviewer/Host
You don't think Trump has any. Trump has nothing, no responsibility here for this lack of patriotic feeling.
- [17:35]
Bill O'Reilly
I think his responsibility is that because of his manner, he's alienated a lot of Americans who simply don't like his presentation. So they don't get beyond that. They can't get beyond it. They don't understand, for example, that going into Iran was a good thing because Iran is evil. And he confronted evil. Trump did. So they can't get beyond Donald Trump's presentation in that way. He loses persuadability. But he's not out there as an ideologue. He doesn't care about that. He cares about racking up victory after victory after victory.
- [18:21]
Interviewer/Host
Yeah, you're right. He's not an ideologue. That's different as compared to most presidents we've had.
- [18:28]
Bill O'Reilly
Here's my weekly appearance with WOR's Marc Simone.
- [18:37]
Marc Simone
Your latest. We'll do it live. Gene Simmons is the guest. He's a brilliant guy, isn't he?
- [18:42]
Historian/Commentator
Yeah. It was very interesting to Talk to him particularly about his mother, who survived a concentration camp in Germany, and how he was shaped by her upbringing. And in my new book, Confronting what Has To Change, parental authority takes center stage. We have so many bad parents in this country. Parents who abandon their children, neglect their children, have crazy points of view, take drugs in front of their children, get drunk. That I thought Simmons really hit it. He said, I never took drugs or drank to excess because I didn't want to break my mother's heart. I thought that was one of the most profound statements I've ever heard from an interview subject of mine. And he was clean the whole time that he was a big rock star for kiss. So it's insights like that we try to give everybody every week. We got Glenn Beck coming up on Thursday. And Beck, as you know, is a very interesting guy to me because you never know where he's going to come down. And we talk about the communism thing, which I believe is a big threat. Some people dissent from that. But I think that this thing could catch fire, this communist thing.
- [20:14]
Marc Simone
Really? Yeah.
- [20:16]
Historian/Commentator
Yeah. I mean, when you have a population. And again, it goes back to parenting, where you expect to be given the keys to the kingdom of life, and then you don't get anybody giving it to you. Then you. You want that? Where's mine? I mean, how come the government's not giving me a house? I. How come they're not babysitting my kids? You know, how come I don't have free health care? And that thing, I think, can grow, and it always turns into totalitarianism.
- [20:53]
Unknown Speaker 3
Always.
- [20:56]
Historian/Commentator
And I'm keeping my eye on it. I just think that this came very quickly into New York City and other places, and it will wreck the social order that we have.
- [21:09]
Marc Simone
So all these voters doing this is the result of bad parenting, bad teachers, bad professors for a couple generations.
- [21:16]
Interviewer/Host
Yeah.
- [21:16]
Unknown Speaker 3
I mean, if you were a kid
- [21:18]
Historian/Commentator
and your parents give you everything and you don't have to work for anything, I'm sure that you work when you were a kid. I started working when I was 10 years old. 10 years old. I was cutting lawns, shoveling snow, doing whatever I could make a buck, okay? And now kids, you never see them there. Snows, Nobody's out there with a shovel. All the migrants are doing the gardening work. Nobody's cutting any lawns. And so when the kids in my town, they all have debit cards, they just running in, getting whatever they want. They don't care how much it costs. And then they get out in the real world where Daddy and Mommy aren't there anymore. And they go, wait, wait, wait, what do you mean? I have to work hard. I have to get up at 7 in the morning. I don't want to do that. So give me, Ma' am Dami, give me, give me what I want. Give me a house. All right, give me. Food is next in New York, by the way, he'll slap so many regulations on grocery stores. The City council of New York City, he tried to make it impossible for them to operate so that the city control the flood of food that comes into eight and a half million people. This is called cooperating. The essentials of life, you know, housing, food, everything, okay? They, they want to take it over. And that's what communism is.
- [22:55]
Marc Simone
Now you're the best selling historian. Have we ever gone through any period like this ever in American history?
- [23:02]
Historian/Commentator
Yeah, a couple of times. And it's interesting you ask that question because in the Revolutionary War, when we were fighting the King of England, George, half the colonists didn't want to, didn't want to fight. They didn't want to do it really. They wanted to stay under this totalitarian king, told them what to do and how to do it, and that was it.
- [23:26]
Unknown Speaker 3
Half of, half of the people that
- [23:28]
Historian/Commentator
lived in North America did not want to fight the British. And then in the Civil War, you had the state seceding. You know, we're not giving up slavery. We don't care what you do. We don't want to be Americans anymore. We'll be, you know, South Americans or whatever. They'll be plantation Americans. And so it's happened before, not to the extent it's happening now, because you have the media driving this, enabling this. I mean this. Kaitlan Collins on CNN the other night said, there's a difference between communism and socialism.
- [24:10]
Unknown Speaker 3
Hey, lady. No, there's not.
- [24:12]
Historian/Commentator
Okay? And if you want to debate me all day long, I'd be happy to sit down on the Marc Simone show and debate you about that. There is no difference. If you're going to limit people's potential, if you are going to tell them what they are going to do, how they are going to live, you can slap a socialist word on that or a communist word.
- [24:33]
Unknown Speaker 3
Trump addressed it yesterday.
- [24:35]
Historian/Commentator
He said, ah, they call themselves democratic socialists because it sounds good. That's exactly right. These are communists. They want to control the means of production. That's what Mandami wants. And he will try everything to make New York City into that kind of a place.
- [24:56]
Marc Simone
So if the media had not gone totally corrupt 10 years ago when Trump showed up. If they were honestly covering all these crazy Democrats, we wouldn't be going through this now, would we?
- [25:06]
Unknown Speaker 3
No.
- [25:08]
Historian/Commentator
And social media is to blame as well. But the corporate media, because they hated Trump so much, because of his demeanor, primarily. But he is a conservative guy in the sense that he puts forth. I don't want anybody sneaking across the border in our country. That's a conservative position. Now, the liberals say, let everybody in. Everybody should come in. Okay? So because the media hates Trump so much, they let his opposition have a free ride. And to this day, that happens. And then they figured out they can make money making that happen, although CNN has failed in that regard. But, you know, the liberal networks and the liberal news presentations, they make some money. 60 Minutes makes money. Not what it used to be, but it makes money. And then on the other side, Fox makes a lot of money by talking to conservative Americans exclusively. Okay? That's what they do. And so the media, which was once mandated to find out the truth and to tell the American people this is really what's happening, does not do that anymore. Yeah.
- [26:30]
Marc Simone
But it's been about 10 years now. That's kind of baked in now. The media is never going to.
- [26:36]
Unknown Speaker 3
Yeah.
- [26:38]
Historian/Commentator
And the only saving grace, to use a cliche, is that operations like mine, which are totally independent. All right. Have prospered. So I was just looking this morning at our balance sheet about our revenue on YouTube. It's amazing so that people who understand that they're being conned on television in particular, newspapers, are gone. But they understand, you know, David Muir is not telling me the truth. I'm not getting the truth from Newsmax or whatever it is. I'm just getting their point of view. They come over to me and they bring advertising dollars and they bring a whole bunch of other things that make me successful. I've been doing this almost 10 years now as an independent broker of the news, and that's the first time in history that has ever happened.
- [27:39]
Marc Simone
Bill O'Reilly, thanks for being with us.
- [27:44]
Bill O'Reilly
Chris Cuomo and I duke it out on News Nation.
- [27:50]
Unknown Political Commentator
The president's profiteering is going to be a big reason why things are going to change. Will it matter in the midterms? You know my take. Let's get a different one from Mr. Bill O'Reilly. Good to see you, sir.
- [28:05]
Bill O'Reilly
Does this mean I have to return my Trump watch?
- [28:09]
Unknown Political Commentator
No, keep it. And those high top Trump sneakers you probably are wearing right now, made in China sneakers. You know, in fairness to you, by the way, when Colmer was making those allegations about Biden, you said show me the proof. And when Comer didn't come forward with the proof, you called it bilge. Good for you. Now when you look at the silence and that nobody's asking the same kinds of questions about Trump, how is it to be understood except as a loyalty play?
- [28:42]
Bill O'Reilly
Depends on what kind of country you want. So the MAGA Trump people feel that what the President is fighting against is infinitely worse than what he's doing in his financial portfolio. It's as simple as that. They see him as the bulwark against these socialist communists, whatever you want to call them. And yeah, I think everybody would agree that this situation shouldn't exist. The only one who can change it, the only body, is Congress. Why haven't they passed a law that constrains federal elected officials from amassing money like Nancy Pelosi? And I'm not a bad behavior pointing to other bad behavior guy. Okay, that's not what I do. But certainly the speaker of the House amassed unbelievable amounts of money and so did Biden. They didn't come up with anything indictable, but he did. And, and the laptop shows you the roadmap to that. But why hasn't Congress said, you know, we don't want to be Warren Harding, we're going to toughen it up and have very strict procedures about presidents and congresspeople and senators and how they invest their money while they're in office.
- [30:07]
Marco Rubio
Why?
- [30:08]
Bill O'Reilly
I don't know why I haven't done that.
- [30:10]
Unknown Political Commentator
Because they're pigs. And that's why you see such an anti incumbent wave. Go pigs. P I G S M ale in Italian. Pigs.
- [30:21]
Bill O'Reilly
All of them.
- [30:22]
Unknown Political Commentator
And here's why. Because when you're sitting in office, look, we both know there are a lot of good men and women who are in there, but we've reached a point where the body is broken. Okay? And that's why you saw Democrats taking out Democrats in New York City. They're throwing incumbents out. And I gotta say, Bill, I'm kind of here for really seems like the body needs to be flushed and you know, to come in with all new people who at least come in with the understanding that you're coming in there to be different than who you replaced.
- [30:54]
Bill O'Reilly
Well, a Tea Party tried that with a little bit of success, but not much. You've got to have a body that is committed to justice and economic justice is part of the equation. So. And you also have to be fair, you left out a whole bunch of stuff that I think is interesting. So we didn't See, his tax return, all we saw were the financial disclosures that he has to make by law, but we didn't see the losses. I understand they're having a hard time in Albania, of all places.
- [31:29]
Larry
The.
- [31:29]
Bill O'Reilly
Trump wanted to take it over, and the Albanians don't want them, or the Albanians are shaking them down or whatever. They're not doing well. So, I mean, it's not all. Okay, the 2.2 billion sounds like a lot, but there are reversals. The worst is the Middle East. I mean, the Gulf states, they're throwing money at everybody, not just President Trump, to get what they want economically. Everybody knows it. Anybody who deals with them knows that.
- [32:03]
Unknown Political Commentator
We've just never seen it like this. We've never seen where the main negotiators, their family or they themselves directly, are getting paid by Arabs. And they're literally, when they're not working for the government, they're going around looking for investment money. We've never seen anything like this, and they're not hiding it well.
- [32:24]
Bill O'Reilly
Are you talking about.
- [32:25]
Unknown Political Commentator
Are you talking about Kushner and Witkoff's side?
- [32:28]
Bill O'Reilly
Are you talking about the Trump kids? So I'm talking about Trump's kids.
- [32:33]
Unknown Political Commentator
They got set up with it. You got to keep it straight. They got set up with the crypto company from the Chinese felon who their father pardoned. That was the. That's what they did. And now they're investing in companies that have government contracts and industries they know nothing about. But Jared Kushner is going around the Arab countries trying to raise investment capital. I wonder why they're giving it to him. He's the guy who's trying to buy the island in Albania. I wonder why they're giving him preferential treatment. I mean, we've never seen anything like this, Bill. It is disgusting.
- [33:03]
Bill O'Reilly
We've seen it before. I can cite U.S. grant and his brother and the Indian Affairs. It's happened before.
- [33:11]
Unknown Political Commentator
Ulysses Grant, hard fix, I know, but it's not just about the real, real criminal. It's not just.
- [33:20]
Bill O'Reilly
Yes, it is. It's all about the.
- [33:21]
Unknown Political Commentator
It's about. But it's about what you. It's about what you decide to be about. Also, you chase after Biden. I was here for it. I was here with Rudy saying, show me the laptop. I reported on all of it. And I think it's disgusting. I just said it again, and I said it 100 times. But I'll do that to both sides. They won't. And that's the problem. And that has to be.
- [33:45]
Bill O'Reilly
I don't know about that. I think critical mass has been reached. Although again, I go back to my central point. The Trump supporters feel that what the President is fighting against is worth the other stuff, the enrichment, the self enrichment. That's the mentality. Okay, we don't like it, but he closed the border. Okay, we don't like it, but he's going to defeat Iran, hopefully. Okay, we don't like it. He's cleaning up a lot of things that we want cleaned up. So it's a balance. What kind of a country do you want? But my amazement comes when you have a Congress that could write a law. Who's going to oppose the law?
- [34:41]
Unknown Speaker 1
Who?
- [34:42]
Bill O'Reilly
Al Capone. Is he still around?
- [34:45]
Unknown Political Commentator
I agree, I agree. But obviously they do. They won't even vote on the law that keeps them from not trading stocks while they're in office. They won't even vote on it. Mike Johnson said that's not fair. They don't make enough money. You got to let them trade. I mean, well, I think they should vote it out, but they, I think they've disqualified themselves.
- [35:06]
Bill O'Reilly
It has to be a blind trust. You don't have to.
- [35:10]
Unknown Political Commentator
I know, but then you start looking at these blind trusts and all of a sudden they're making super savvy investment decisions, their investment advisors. Like, I wonder why. Anyway, I just wanted to tee it up to talk about it because I think it's going to be absolutely on the ballot in the midterms. I think people have had it. I've never seen more people in more different ways this disgusted because remember, it all relates back. Not only are these guys pigs, but they're starving. They're suffering with underemployment. Their businesses are underwater. Hungry pigs. Pigs are you? I appreciate and I wish you a happy birthday as an American Citizen. The Big 250 is this weekend. I'll be seeing you.
- [35:53]
Bill O'Reilly
All right, one more point. Just keep in mind that Central America, not the region, but the central part of our country, and the red states fear communism and radical progressivism more than this. Keep it in mind.
- [36:18]
Unknown Political Commentator
I understand that and we will see. I know those are completely hollow words, but they're always right. And we'll see what it's about in the midterms because I believe change is coming.
- [36:34]
Bill O'Reilly
Please join me and Sid Rosenberg on WABC Radio.
- [36:40]
Larry
Bill, good morning, buddy. How are you?
- [36:43]
Unknown Speaker 3
So you were gone and then I read in the paper that you are in the broadcast hall of fame. Is that correct?
- [36:50]
Unknown Speaker 2
Not yet.
- [36:51]
Larry
I'm being inducted in October, October 22, at the Rainbow Room, and you need to be there. And I'm not just saying this to patronize you and all that, but when I think of people along the way, that got me to this surreal and almost laughable point. I'm going into the hall of Fame. You're one of those people at the very top of the list. So it is happening, Bill. I know it's crazy. I know you can't believe it, but it really is happening.
- [37:17]
Unknown Speaker 3
But I'm jealous. I mean, the only. I think they have a picture of me and Borrelli's on Hempstead, but that's as close to any hall of Fame I've ever gotten.
- [37:29]
Historian/Commentator
What?
- [37:30]
Unknown Speaker 3
So I'm very jealous. But if I can be there, I will be there. I'll be great at the Rainbow Room.
- [37:36]
Larry
Yes.
- [37:38]
Unknown Speaker 3
Your trip to Israel was good, right? Everything worked.
- [37:42]
Larry
It was great. I had the chance to speak with and hang out a bit with Bibi Netanyahu last Sunday, and in fact, that last Sunday.
- [37:49]
Unknown Speaker 3
Let me stop. Let me stop you there. Yeah. When you say you hang out with B.B. netanyahu.
- [37:55]
Larry
That's right.
- [37:56]
Unknown Speaker 3
How does that. How does that happen? You go bowling? Do you help him with his como? What do you do to hang out?
- [38:05]
Larry
Well, in this particular case, he was only at the Waldorf Astoria for a couple of hours. So we did sit, sat next to each other, we talked. We had a couple of good conversations and took a couple of pictures, that type of thing. But I've done what you're talking about. I've gone for dinners, I've gone to a farm. I've gone. I've gone to a winery. I've done all those things in the past with Bibi. But last Sunday, because it was only one venue, it was me, Mike Huckabee, Bibi Netanyahu, Mark Levine. We all hung out together at the Waldorf Astoria. Nice, huh?
- [38:38]
Historian/Commentator
Very swell.
- [38:38]
Unknown Speaker 3
Who picked up the tab for that?
- [38:41]
Larry
Not me. JNS.org
- [38:44]
Unknown Speaker 3
was JDP and crypto.
- [38:48]
Larry
It was. You know, you're funny. You say crypto and you mentioned Bibi, but you know that right now, the liberal media, those lunatic Democrats, all they're talking about is all the money that President Trump and his sons have made in crypto while everybody else is taking a beating. How was that happening?
- [39:10]
Unknown Speaker 3
Because he's in the easy story. I'm in China this week to get people to understand there's the actual story that's happening, and then there the easy story that you can just, you know, slam somebody you don't like. That's you Know, five year old can do that. Now, on the Trump situation, we don't really know the extent of his financial dealings because nobody has seen what the losses were. They've seen what the gains were, but not the losses and not who did what. I understand that he established a trust, a revocable trust. That's complicated, I understand that. But he seems to have followed the guidelines that are in place for the President to do business. And Trump's always been a businessman. Now, maybe he did a Hunter Biden and used connections, that's certainly possible. But these people who are reporting on it, they don't know anything. For example, Jared Kushner, who is Trump's son in law, spent a lot of dough in Albania. Apparently Jared wants to make Albania into Coney Island.
- [40:29]
Larry
Come on.
- [40:30]
Unknown Speaker 3
It's not happening, okay? Not a good idea. The Albanians don't like you, Jared. They don't like anything about you, all right? They'll take your money, you'll never see it again. And we're not going to have Coney island in Albania. But the Trump Organization put a lot of money in there to try to develop that. And so that comes off the top, but it doesn't really matter. The perception is reality. And a perception is that the President of the United States is a grifter and he's using his position to help his family get money. And so that's what these networks do. They don't care what really happened. They're not spending any time investigating. They don't care.
- [41:21]
Larry
Yeah, they really don't. You know, and back to the Iran thing for a second. Similar conversations I had this week with John Katz. Matitis, who's a very bright guy, obviously, and KT McFarlane. They both seem to think we won, we won the war. Everybody else is more like me, which is we've won nothing. We haven't lost anything. I never said we lost the war. You know, maybe we've got, we've got the edge in terms of who's winning, but I'm not near a place at all right now. We're about to say we won this war. What does Bill o' Roddy think?
- [41:54]
Unknown Speaker 3
Well, there's only one yardstick for victory, and that's weapons inspectors going in on a regular basis to monitor the Iranians, the Uranians, trying to make an atom bomb with their enriched uranium.
- [42:14]
Larry
Right? But, but if you believe, but if you believe, forget about Operation Epic Fury. If you believe that Midnight Hammer. And I do believe this, I do believe this. I'm on John's side and KT side, if you believe that Midnight Hammer destroyed their ability for the centrifuges to even use that uranium, then their light years, not light years, but there are ways off from enriching that stuff anyway to make a nuclear bomb. Thanks to Trump.
- [42:40]
Unknown Speaker 3
That may be true, but it's all classified. And from what I'm hearing, the Iranians had a couple of other uranium sites. I'm sure that Warren hit, I'm sure, you know, I had a debate with Chris Cuomo, didn't believe anything about the uranium stuff at all. And, you know, I said, look, you know, every, almost every expert monitors this kind of stuff, concurs that Iran was trying to get, is trying to get a nuclear weapon. This week. They come out and go, hey, we have to have a nuclear weapon because we're going to get attacked. And, you know, now they're saying it themselves, but it's fairly easy to understand. If you don't get that component, then you can't say that this thing was worth it. And that's what the American people are looking for.
- [43:37]
Larry
But then again, you know, John and KT were both very quick to point out all these fantastic economic improvements of Dow Jones over 52s and P up. And, you know, again, they're not talking about interest rates are still high and inflation is still high because all you hear is, well, oil is down to much less than it was under Biden. So there seem to be some economic indicators that may in fact say it was worth it until we get the dust.
- [44:05]
Unknown Speaker 3
Well, it's not enough to win the midterm elections because it's way too complicated. And most Americans judge the administration by how they are prospering individually.
- [44:20]
Marc Simone
Agreed.
- [44:20]
Unknown Speaker 3
Trump was smart when he said to the American oil companies, we know you're gouging and they are okay, so you better bring it down. You better bring them down to $2.50 a gallon. Now, the American oil companies are going to take their sweet time because they're in business to take as much money out of O'Reilly and Sid as they can, but the people know that. And so people evaluate their vote is evaluated by how it is affecting them directly, not macroeconomics. Kate, they could teach a course at the Kennedy School at Harvard and it would be a good course, but that's not going to influence one vote.
- [45:04]
Larry
I agree with you. That's why, you know, people talk about the Dow Jones. I mean, you know, I'm not saying.
- [45:14]
Unknown Speaker 2
Right.
- [45:15]
Larry
It's, it's, by the way, it's a lot more Than half the country. Like I've been saying all week long. Three quarters of the country. Three quarters. If they get to go to one Red Lobster dinner a month, they're doing great. They have no idea what the Dow Jones is.
- [45:28]
Unknown Speaker 3
They're not the investor class.
- [45:30]
Larry
Correct.
- [45:31]
Unknown Speaker 3
So two more points because I know you're tight for time and if you, if you put me on any later, I'm going to be intruding on the boy.
- [45:44]
Larry
I keep telling you, you're doing me, you're doing me a big favor because my 9 o' clock ratings have never been better. Never.
- [45:49]
Unknown Speaker 3
All right? But you know, it's getting later and later and later. I mean, I have to shave twice before I can come on the SIG's radio program. So I'm whining now, but that's okay. So I'm on News Nation. And tomorrow night. Is it tomorrow night? No, today is Thursday. It's tonight. I don't even know when my own stuff is on. Boy, am I delirious. I have a special at 9 o' clock on News Nation about heroes and villains in a revolutionary war. Not the people that you know, okay? The people. And this pertains exactly to today. 50% of the colonists didn't want to leave the king, okay? They wanted to stay. No matter how he abused the colonists, they were not willing to move out of it. And we have a large segment of the population today that boats for, for destructive people. So Cuomo was, last night, was saying, well, you know, the Democrats are going to lock down the midterms. They're going to win the midterms because now we have this money stuff going into Trump, and people aren't going to like that. And I looked at him, I said, what you're not understanding here is that people aren't going to vote, all right? Ideology. They're going to vote in November on who's going to protect them from Mamdani, from aoc, from these loons in the New York congressional delegation. Most Americans know this is bad. And they may not like the way that Donald Trump is conducting himself. I think you could make a point that maybe he modifies a little bit, okay? But the threat from the far left, and they're not socialists, they're communists. Every single one of them wants to control the means of production. Now, again, I mean, I teach yourself in school. People don't know, what does that mean, means of production? You know, is that a band? Aren't they playing with Santana? Means of production? They don't know, but they feel that this malevolency that is rising in the urban centers is not what they want.
- [48:27]
Larry
God, I hope you're right.
- [48:28]
Unknown Speaker 3
There's only one candidate protecting them from that.
- [48:34]
Larry
Who's that?
- [48:35]
Unknown Speaker 3
That puts this election in a totally different context.
- [48:39]
Larry
What if you're wrong? What if America really is ready to make this crazy? It's crazy. It's. It's going to destroy the country.
- [48:47]
Unknown Speaker 3
Can't imagine it. Yeah. I've been to every state, every major city. Once you get out of the big urban areas, which are controlled by the communists, and you're not going to make inroads there. But once you get out.
- [49:02]
Larry
Yeah.
- [49:03]
Unknown Speaker 3
Into the rural and suburban areas. When you go up to see your concert at Bethel Woods. Yeah, yeah. You're going to have a bunch of liberal people up there and fine. But the people who live there don't want Mamdani telling them what they can have.
- [49:20]
Larry
So. I think you're right.
- [49:22]
Unknown Speaker 3
I just want it.
- [49:23]
Larry
Yeah, I think you're right. I'm just. I'm just, you know, the more and more these people win, you know, the primary elections, again, it was just primary, but I believe they're all going to win anyway come ge. Come November. What we saw in Colorado a couple nights ago, I mean, Bill, when Hasan Piker, he's a lowlife, he's a podcast host. He was the one that said to Mamdani originally, America deserved 9, 11. He's out. He's out. He's out on the streets of Denver campaigning. Bill, what is that?
- [49:52]
Unknown Speaker 3
Only 20% of the people are voting. The other 80 are sitting it out because it's a primary.
- [49:58]
Larry
Well, I said this last night. I said. Because the same thing happens when it comes to the G. Unless they're voting for Trump. Republicans, we need we, not you. I know that's not you, but it's me. We need to do a much better job. We bitch, we complain, but we're not voting. 7% voted here last Tuesday. 7% of Democrats, obviously. But are Republicans voting?
- [50:21]
Unknown Speaker 3
They will in Wyoming.
- [50:23]
Larry
Yeah.
- [50:23]
Unknown Speaker 3
And they will in Florida. And I think the guy in Texas is going to get waxed. The guy who thinks he's got eight genders. I mean, you know, it's almost impossible to pass a voter ID law when you have eight genders because you got so many. You know, what do you got? You got a bigger big cardboard thing you bring in. Well, when I was 6, I was here. Now I'm Larry. But I was Shirley, but I didn't like Shirley. So now I'm back To Vinny. I'm Vinny now. And there's the guy voting instructor going, all right, just vote.
- [51:02]
Max Rushton
Right.
- [51:02]
Larry
Get out. Just vote and get out.
- [51:03]
Unknown Speaker 3
Right, right.
- [51:04]
Larry
Well, that's happened. I mean, Bill. But, you know, I got to wrap it up. But I got. You know, no one knows the history of this country on this show more than you do. What has happened? Seriously, what's happened?
- [51:16]
Unknown Speaker 3
What's happened is two things. Number one, terrible education policies. So people don't understand what Communism is. They don't understand. This week is the anniversary of the Korean War, 1950. I don't know what the Korean War is. They don't know why it was fought. They don't know why Vietnam was fought. They don't know what the Cold War was. They don't know anything about Stalin or Marx. They don't know anything.
- [51:38]
Larry
You know, I could prove that to you. My son Gabriel, who loves you, you love him. He goes to high school in New York City. All they teach him about. Bill. I'm not lying. Civil rights and slavery, nothing about World War II, Vietnam, Korea, all the things you just mentioned. They never learn about that stuff ever.
- [51:58]
Unknown Speaker 3
In the Revolutionary war on the 4th of July. Which is why we're doing a special tonight.
- [52:02]
Unknown Speaker 2
Right?
- [52:02]
Unknown Speaker 3
Because people don't know anything about it. But that's what they're teaching in New York City is victimization. They want your son to believe that he is a victim of white men like Trump who are making billions in crypto. That's what they. And that's what the television networks do. The second factor is parents. So the parents are spending all their time on the phone or on a golf course or whatever. They're not sitting their kid down for discussions about their country. It's the 4th of July, 250. Did you talk to your kid about this? All right, does he know anything about it? Does he know the sacrifice and blood and treasure, fellow Americans? No. You know, for freedom? No, no, no. And that's the parental. So the parents delegate all of their responsibility to be a good citizen. All right? And the education system in the urban areas are telling every kid that they're a victim.
- [53:04]
Larry
You're right. Well, you just nailed it.
- [53:06]
Unknown Speaker 3
Why you see this rise? You're seeing this rise because they don't know what the consequences are of not having enough police. They don't know that Mandani wants to control where you live, what you eat. Food is next.
- [53:23]
Historian/Commentator
Yep.
- [53:24]
Unknown Speaker 3
All right. He'll slap so many regulations on the grocery stores because he wants you to buy food from the city. This is what communism is. The central government controls everything. And then the wealth tax is coming. We're going to just seize your private property. We're going to steal it from, from you.
- [53:45]
Larry
My God.
- [53:46]
Unknown Speaker 3
Do you think these kids know that?
- [53:47]
Larry
None of it? No, they don't.
- [53:50]
Unknown Speaker 3
You take their phone and they're going to be upset.
- [53:52]
Larry
Right.
- [53:52]
Unknown Speaker 3
So Mandami will probably leave that for less.
- [53:56]
Larry
Yeah, I got it. I'm going to sit down with my kids because they've asked. They want to know more about 9 11. It's coming up in a couple of months, a 25 year commemoration. They asked. I was on the air that day. Danielle was working right by the Empire State Building. They asked. But these kids, revolutionary war, even 9 11, only 25 years ago, no idea. And for the most part they don't care. And you're right. Education and parents. Bill, you're great.
- [54:20]
Unknown Speaker 2
I love you.
- [54:21]
Larry
Yeah, I know. Have fun out there on Saturday. We'll do it again next week, buddy. Thank you so much.
