Episode Overview

In this episode, Bill O’Reilly takes a wide-ranging look at American and global politics, focusing on the influence of progressive movements in the U.S., racial politics, the Trump presidency’s foreign policy challenges (mainly Iran and China), upcoming international trips, political polarization in families, and the intersection of sports and civic morale. Joined by recurring guests including Sid Rosenberg, Chris Cuomo, and Bhatia, O’Reilly delivers sharp, sometimes combative, commentary while inviting heated debate—particularly over how best to “look out for America” on everything from migration to nuclear threats.

Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Progressive Movement, Race, and Reparations

[00:45–06:27]

• O’Reilly traces the roots of the American progressive movement, comparing it to early 20th-century iterations that aimed to transform capitalism into socialism/communism.
• He argues that race has become a dominant issue for progressives, referencing their push for reparations, DEI initiatives, and social programs for Black Americans.
  • Quote: “The progressives say, look, the whole country is built on slavery. And the black people, black Americans have not been compensated for that horror. We owe them reparations…on and on and on. Never ends.” — Bill O’Reilly [02:14]
• O’Reilly critiques academic commentary, targeting Princeton’s Eddie Glaude for “race hustling” and fueling division.
• Soundbite:
  • Chris Cuomo [guest]: “There is a sense in which there are folks who believe that this country must remain a white republic. And that begins with the diminution of black political power…” [03:55]
  • O’Reilly responds: “I know thousands of people…not one who espouses that…the only organizations I know are the old Klan and the tired far right bigots. But there isn’t a movement on the MAGA side saying put blacks down.” [04:24]
• He comments on gerrymandering’s racial dynamics, emphasizing both parties’ cynicism and court intervention: “You’re not going to redraw congressional districts based on skin color. That’s not happening.” [06:27]

2. Reflections on Trump, Iran, and Middle East Policy

[09:33–11:41 | 24:20–28:49 | 30:19–43:33]

• O’Reilly reveals inside knowledge of planned military action against Iran, delayed due to Gulf allies seeking more negotiation time.
  • Quote: “If this doesn’t work…the last negotiation…there’s going to be a real, real punishing military strike on Iran.” — Bill O’Reilly [11:35]
• He argues Trump’s legacy depends on handling Iran, predicting rapid falls in gas prices if a deal allows weapons inspectors and opens the Straits of Hormuz.
• O’Reilly and Rosenberg concur that Trump waits to avoid civilian casualties, but anticipate “intense military action,” with “tens of thousands” at risk if diplomacy fails.
• The administration’s stance on Iran is debated with Chris Cuomo:
  • Chris Cuomo: “Not a single member of this puppet administration’s intelligence apparatus has come forward with any kind of suggestion that the regime in Iran was weeks away from a nuclear weapon. Not a single word—doesn’t strike you as curious?” [32:22]
  • O’Reilly: “Weapons inspectors out of Austria, US intel people, all…say the enrichment of uranium was going full bore…If they weren’t doing anything, they’d let the inspectors in…” [32:42]
• O’Reilly asserts the urgency, invoking Tom Petty: “He can’t back down now. Got to win it.” [37:00]

3. U.S.–China Relations and Economic Policy

[12:36–15:40 | 24:20–27:51]

• Trump’s trade negotiations with China are scrutinized, particularly over Chinese land purchases in the U.S. O’Reilly dismisses the idea that blocking Chinese farm real estate is “terrible,” calling it a trade-off for larger strategic goals.
  • Quote: “President Trump wants a couple of big things. He’s willing to give up the little things in his mind…What he wants is a partnership for peace and prosperity, a full trade agreement.” — Bill O’Reilly [13:38]
• He remains skeptical that China will truly assist on Iran or Taiwan.
• Both O’Reilly and Rosenberg downplay the “100-year” Chinese strategy narrative, calling them “good at stealing stuff,” but doubtful that they are inherently “so much smarter.”

4. Domestic Politics, Inflation, and the Trump Economy

[15:40–18:02 | 42:02–43:33]

• O’Reilly claims Trump—and his supporters—see Iran as the key to fixing inflation via oil prices, but admits this is wishful thinking.
  • Quote: “People believe what they want to believe. Trump wants to believe that once Iran is neutralized…the American economy is going to really snap back fast.” — Bill O’Reilly [16:33]
• Bhatia challenges whether this will really help ordinary Americans: “You can’t eat the stock market, right?” [16:59]
• Cuomo contends that, despite a thriving market, it’s led by a handful of AI firms, not “Main Street.” O’Reilly insists: “The corporations have not bailed on Trump.” [42:04]
• O’Reilly accuses Democrats of lacking any coherent foreign policy, asserting this will benefit Republicans and Trump in the midterms.

5. The State of the Left, Political Polarization, and Progressivism

[18:24–23:31 | 23:31–24:20 | 29:03–30:07]

• O’Reilly and Rosenberg discuss backlash against “radical left” progressives in the U.S. and the U.K., linking leftward drift to loss of moderate voters.
  • Quote: “Because they’re so radical left, so progressive, that middle of the road Americans of all parties are fearful of them…These are fairly dangerous people.” — Sid Rosenberg [19:19]
• They mock certain progressive policies (e.g., dental care for drug addicts), and critique Andrew Cuomo for shifting his stance based on job security and party pressure.
• The increasing political division within families (e.g., the Baldwin family split) serves as a national microcosm.

6. International Observations & Upcoming Projects

[28:57–30:07 | 53:01–54:38]

• O’Reilly previews upcoming travels to Ireland and London, where he’ll document what he calls a “civil war documentary” on Britain’s struggles with migration.
  • Quote: “Britain is in the middle of a civil war here primarily because of migration.” — Sid Rosenberg [29:33]
• He teases a future 4th of July special on “heroes and villains of the Revolutionary War.”

7. The Power of Sports in Divided Times

[44:17–49:38]

• Discussion turns to sports as a source of civic pride and unity, referencing Rudy Giuliani’s pride in NYC championships as mayor.
• Both O’Reilly and Rosenberg note how sports offer a rare space for civic togetherness, even as political and racial tensions divide the public sphere.
  • Quote: “It's civic pride. It's a unifier…It's far more important than most people believe.” — Sid Rosenberg [46:05]

8. Lighter Moments & Quotes

• Funny exchange with Spike Lee:
  • O’Reilly: “Spike Lee's about 5 foot 2 and I'm 6 foot 4…I make a big show out of looking down…He goes, ‘Hey, O'Reilly, did you find any weapons of mass destruction in here?’” [48:03]
• On soybeans and China trade deals:
  • S. Rosenberg: “We have sold, what, 18 gazillion soybeans to China. Who's getting that money? Where are the soybeans? I want to know where they are.” [50:46]

Tone and Language

O’Reilly maintains a direct, brash, and often confrontational tone, especially when challenging opposing views. The commentary is laced with skepticism toward the left and unapologetic support for strong U.S. foreign policy. Guests and co-hosts match his intensity with humor, sarcasm, and pointed anecdotes.

---

Summary Takeaway

This episode offers a snapshot of the 2026 “No Spin” worldview: America at a crossroads domestically due to radical progressivism and racial politics, under pressure internationally with Iran and China, and searching for unity through sports and shared values. O’Reilly’s persistent skepticism toward progressive ideology, combined with his nuanced take (sometimes surprisingly moderate) on academic freedom and the limits of U.S. global policing, frames a conversation as combative as it is patriotic. The ping-ponging between humor and serious debate—especially with recurring sparring partners—exemplifies the show’s blend of “just the facts,” biting opinion, and talk radio showmanship.

I'm Bill O'Reilly. You're listening to around the World. Let's begin. The progressive movement is an interesting phenomenon. We've seen it before in America in the 1920s and 30s in particular. It basically wants a change, as you probably know, the capitalistic system into a socialist communist system. But along with that goes a lot of social situations, for example, race. So the progressive movement, you have to be of one mind here, believes that the United States is not a noble country because of slavery and other things, Native American land, etc. But it is race today in 2026 that is starting to emerge again because the progressives are in a power precinct as far as the Democratic Party is concerned. So what am I talking about? Skin color. Simple as that. So the progressives say, look, the whole country is built on slavery. And the black people, black Americans have not been compensated for that horror. We owe them reparations, we owe them dei, we owe them favoritism, we owe them social programs. On and on and on and on. Never ends. And if you don't agree with that, you're a racist. Enter a guy named Eddie Gloud. He is a professor at Princeton University, an Ivy League school case in the Department of African American Studies. Now we expect, because I did go to an Ivy League school, you're going to have very liberal people dominating the African American program. And you know you're not going to bring in some conservative to run that program in any college, much less a Ivy League school. This guy goes out of his way to race hustle to basically promote bad feelings between blacks and whites and everybody else. Here's an example go.

[Chris Cuomo]

They don't view us as full citizens.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Right?

[Chris Cuomo]

There are forces at work and MAGA forces at work in this country who have as their aim and end right to put us in our place.

[Bill O'Reilly]

They're designed.

[Chris Cuomo]

Whether it's an assault on dei, whether it's an assault on federal contractors, where it's an assault on college admissions, even Yale medical school, right across the board, and now voting rights. There is a sense in which there are folks who believe that this country must be and must remain a white republic. And that begins with the diminution of black political power. That begins with putting black folk culturally and politically and socially in our place, as it were.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Now, I know thousands of people, thousands. And I don't know one who espouses that the United States be a quote unquote, white republic. Not one. I don't live in rural America. I live in New York City. But I know people from San Diego to Bar Harbor, Maine. I don't know anybody who comes close to that description, but any kind of has found them somewhere. There are no organizations other than the old Ku Klux Klan and the storm front and, you know, these tired far right bigots. But there isn't a progressive movement on the MAGA side that is saying, hey, putting those blacks down, want to deny those blacks their constitutional rights. And now they're using the gerrymandering to say, well, you're denying blacks the right to vote. Both parties are doing that, okay? It's so cynical, so hypocritical. My district, the third in New York was. It was unbelievable what they tried to do here to my district, all right? I live on the North Shore over Long Island. They want to extend that district all the way up into the Bronx so that more minority voters could come in because it's a pretty equal district until that to the Democratic Party. The federal courts threw it out, that attempt as a Democratic attempt, okay? And so the Republicans saw that. Now the Republicans are trying to do it, and the courts basically are consistent. You're not going to redraw congressional districts based on skin color. That's not happening.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Good.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Shouldn't happen, okay? Where people live, people live. But you're not expanding a power base of a political party, in this case the Democrats, by saying, you know, we'll have this district over here, we're going to move it because more African Americans have moved in over there, try to tilt it our way and the Republicans the same way. So we have had a lot of people fleeing, as everybody knows, the blue states. We Got to go somewhere. But if it's based on skin color, no. When it's changing the congressional district because of skin color, now, you can still vote everywhere, although people will deny that President Trump being one of them. He does not believe the election 2020 was a fair vote. And I talked to one of his guys the other day, and he's going, you know, we got a lot of stuff assembled. I said, look, give it to me first. If there's fraud in that election, I will report it very clearly and honestly, what you have found. Okay? But, you know, six years later, we don't have anything. Hey, I'm still waiting. Everybody's waiting. If you got it, show it back to Eddie Glaude. Or, yeah, Giloid. Or I'm sorry, Eddie. Professor, I'm saying your name wrong, and I'm sorry, I mean no disrespect. He went on ms, of course, that's where he lives, and says, quote, we chose a felon. President Trump was more interested in loyalty, who's more interested in retribution, more interested in grift than in democracy. And he chose a felon because we didn't want to elect a black woman. So now Kamala Harris, one of the worst candidates ever, presidential candidates, she didn't. She lost because we didn't want to look. Okay, so what do you do with the professor? You don't do anything with him. Everybody at Princeton knows. They want to take his class. Take his class. I wouldn't fire him. Okay? But I'm not saying that what he's putting out there is helping students. It isn't. It is angering them. It is dividing the races. And the professor should be ashamed of himself. My opinion, bad American, I don't care what color you are. Listen to me as I join News Nation.

[Bhatia]

Are Trump's low approval ratings the result of a messaging problem or a policy problem?

[Bill O'Reilly]

I think it's more policy than messaging. Is very complicated world, dangerous world. And thanks for having me on Bhatia. So in this morning, around 5am, I posted a message on billoriley.com it said military action against Iran was coming. And then about seven hours later, President pulled it. It was all set to go. Because the Gulf, as you pointed out, the Gulf allies said, give us a little more time. Now, how many times have we heard that? We've heard that 20 times. However, when you have human lives on the line, a lot of them, you give the benefit of any doubt. If you have something that might happen, you explore that road. Because if you don't, then you're going to have all these dead civilians. And President Trump doesn't want to kill the Persians. He doesn't want to do that. However, his legacy now is what's in play. I believe that the gas prices will fall very rapidly if Iran signs the agreement, which is very simple. Weapons inspectors in to make sure you don't enrich uranium and you get out of the Straits of Hormuz. It's an international waterway. That's it. That's not hard. Okay. Iran should have done this weeks ago, but they're playing games and they may have to be taught a lesson. So I can't tell you whether the military is going to go in, but I'm going to tell you that that is all set to go. And if this doesn't work, the last negotiation or whatever, there's going to be a real, real punishing military strike on Iran.

[Bhatia]

So I totally agree with you about Iran. I think that's the area where the president honestly has the most leeway. It's a very difficult thing he's trying to achieve. And someone had to do it. Someone had to take the political fall, which this was always going to be. And no other president was willing to do it on China. I just don't understand what is happening here. You know, you constantly hear in the media, Trump's base is going to turn on him over Iran, they're going to turn on him over isra, they're going to turn on him over at Epstein. That was all nonsense. They were never going to turn on him on those things. There are two issues that his base will absolutely turn on him on, and it's immigration if he stops mass deportations, and China if he goes soft on China. This is so important to the base because China is about the American dream for the working class. And I just cannot believe he came back here saying, let's play this, that he thinks it's okay for China to buy up American farmland. Let's have that.

[Bill O'Reilly]

It's not that I love it. You want to see farm prices drop, you want to see farmers lose a lot of money, just take that out of the market.

[Chris Cuomo]

But they've had a lot of land

[Bill O'Reilly]

for a long time. Obama did nothing about it.

[Bhatia]

This is terrible.

[Bill O'Reilly]

No, no, it's not terrible. You gotta understand the Chinese, and I do. I was there this time last year in Beijing. And right before the president visited Beijing got another call from very high ranking government officials. The Chinese will never tell you what they want other than if they're playing to their base, like Taiwan. All Right, that's it. That's just play to your base all day long. But President Trump wants a couple of big things. He's willing to give up the little things in his mind. China buying real estate is a little thing. People may disagree with that. They may disagree with students. Going to universities is a little thing to him. What he wants is a partnership for peace and prosperity, a full trade agreement that makes it difficult for China to be bellicose toward us because their economy depends on our economy. If that ever happens and he wants some help in Iran, he's not going to get the help in Iran. He's not going to get it. I mean, Xi is not going to do any favors for the United States ever. And so she goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll help out, and they're not going to do anything about it. But Trump can negotiate around that by saying, okay, we asked her for help in Iran. You didn't give us the help. You know, don't bring up Taiwan so much, because it's a quid pro quo here. You help us, we'll help you. And the Taiwan thing is never going to be resolved the way that the United States would like it to be as long as she is alive. She wants to be the new Mao. That's what his goal is. Both men are. Have legacy stakes here, but I thought that the meeting last week was a good meeting. And I don't know if China is going to buy soybeans. We hear about soybeans for a year. Okay. I don't know where the beans are, whether the beans are going over there. I don't think about the beans. Okay. So I hear about the soybeans, but they will buy planes and. And they will buy other stuff from us. Not going to. It's not a game changer, but it does forge a relationship. And then when she comes here in September, I understand, perhaps we'll be further down the road with Iran. And if Trump is able to pull that off, his approval rating will go high or, I don't know how high, but Americans will say, you know, the guy did it, because it is an important issue, obviously. Mm.

[Bhatia]

So Trump seems to think that, you know, all inflation is tied to the price of gas, that this spike that we're seeing is going to be completely resolved very quickly, you know, when Iran comes to the table. Do you agree with that? I mean, is that really going to be enough to solve, I mean, 6% inflation and the Pursuit producer price index, 3.8% consumer price index. Americans are really hurting. What can Trump do right now to help them out?

[Bill O'Reilly]

No. Again, once he gets Iran things settled, then we will start to deal with the inflationary oil situation. I think that's a fait accompli. Remember, people believe what they want to believe. And this is what Donald Trump wants to believe. He wants to believe that once Iran is neutralized that the American economy is going to really snap back fast. Inflation will go down. And he points to the stock market, which has not been adversely affected, is not, I mean, so the big money is on Trump. They're riding Trump. Okay? Those stocks people have 401ks and all that. They're doing very, very well. And that means the corporate America and that the investor class is still riding this president.

[Bhatia]

That doesn't help the average person pay for hamburger meat and gas. Right. I mean, they can't, you can't eat the stock market, right?

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah. But I mean, look, it's a very hard thing for working class families to swallow this kind of a rise in prices. And the reality of it is that there's going to be suffering and where always, it seems, the United States is always the one that suffers. NATO's a sitting it out. Everybody's sitting it out because they don't want to have inflation even though they're going to. So we have to do it all. You know, it's not fair. It's not right. But if you're going to let a terrorist state have a nuclear weapon, that's a pretty dangerous play. And I think most Americans, most understand that the danger of that and that if things start to go better than they'll forgive President Trump.

[Bhatia]

I want that to be true. I do worry that, you know, many people feel that giving the Democrats control of the House is also dangerous. Bill O'Reilly, God bless you and protect you. Thank you so much for joining us and for that insight.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Here's my weekly appearance with WOR's Mark Simone.

[Interviewer/Host]

Bill O'Reilly, how you doing?

[Sid Rosenberg]

Hanging tough. Getting ready to go over to Ireland and London and you're gonna be part

[Interviewer/Host]

of the revolution over there. It looks like they've had it with these left wing government types in London.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Like it's almost a civil war over there. So we're doing a special for News Nation about how this could happen and the vast changes. I lived in London for a year when I was college and it's just not even close to being the same city. Almost like New York. I mean, New York isn't there yet, but we're heading down that road.

[Interviewer/Host]

Yeah. So you See, you see the tide turning in London and England. You see it maybe in la, where Republicans are suddenly doing pretty well. You think this is the beginning of the end for the left wing kooks?

[Sid Rosenberg]

It's an interesting question because you would think that the Democratic Party would have some momentum because of the high prices that consumers are paying, but they don't. Because they're so radical left, so progressive, that middle of the road Americans of all parties are fearful of them. So that kind of negates any kind of political advantage they would have on policy, Iran, that kind of thing. Because these are fairly dangerous people. I mean, the guy in Maine, oh my God, this guy is you looking at him and Donnie in New York and on and on and on, and people go, I don't think so. So that changes everything, that's for sure.

[Interviewer/Host]

So that LA mayor Karen Bass, some of the things she's pushing for are so crazy. Left wing.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Yeah. I mean, she wants to give all the drug addicts teeth, dental teeth. I mean, I know I'm a mean guy, but I don't really want to pay for their teeth. Yeah, I just don't want to. Look, if you're a drug addict and you spend all your time trying to get high, you don't contribute to society, you oftentimes do very bad things to get money. And now I'm supposed to pay for your housing, I'm supposed to give you cash, as they do in San Francisco. Now I'm supposed to pay for your dental work. And already I'm paying for their medical situations. And what's their responsibility as an American citizen, as a human being? What do they give back? Nothing. I mean, it's just way out of whack here. But it's taken, taken root.

[Interviewer/Host]

Hey, Bill O'Reilly does a great podcast called We'll Do It Live. The latest episode, you should watch them all. But the latest episode, the guest is Andrew Cuomo. But here's the complaint about Cuomo. He says in there, he says, well, you know, I'm a moderate Democrat. He was the most left wing governor we've ever had with this. No bail, no jail, and close the prisons, let the prisoners. I mean, there's an endless list of stuff that was so far the left. Why does he keep saying he's a moderate Democrat?

[Sid Rosenberg]

Well, it was the last two years that he really took the turn because he wanted to continue in the job and he knew that the progressives were the money people. And he kind of said, all right, I'll be a progressive now before that he wasn't so bad as far as his policies were concerned. Got into big trouble with COVID Everybody knows you can make some excuses for that, but you're right about the bail. And he says, well, it's a poor thing that there were people sitting in Rikers for two years because they couldn't make bail. And then they get on trial, they're acquitted. So that system is not fair. But the problem that you have when you're going to do that is you are going to put dangerous people back on the street because each judge has a sheet. They know what this person has done in the past. And if you have a conviction or a violent tendency, certainly, and you're let out of jail to punch somebody in the face or push him on a railroad track, I mean, they're going to do it again. So, you know, those progressive policies never work. He went into that world for a couple of years and it ruined him because the progressives turned on him. He wasn't progressive enough for them. And so they. They went after him and they got him.

[Interviewer/Host]

Yeah. It's pretty stupid, though, if, you know, if this is what you are, to just switch your politics, just whatever way the wind is blowing.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Yeah. It's not rare. Not rare.

[Interviewer/Host]

Well, it's a great interview. You can watch it. Bill O'Reilly's podcast will do it live. And you got a new one coming out this week.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Yeah, it's. There are four Baldwin brothers.

[Interviewer/Host]

Yeah.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Alec Baldwin, Billy Baldwin, Daniel Baldwin and Stephen Baldwin. And they're all Long island raised, and two of them are conservative and two of them are very liberal. And it's fractured the whole family. Oh. And so we're interviewing Stephen Baldwin about the. And it's not just him and his family, but it's happening all over the country where families are dissolving because of politics and friendships and all kinds of stuff is going by the wayside. And so that should be a pretty interesting interview, particularly framed around the Baldwin boys.

[Interviewer/Host]

Yeah, we'll check that out. Bill O'Reilly's podcast will do it live. Hey, you've been to China, the president's trip. How would you rate it now, looking

[Sid Rosenberg]

back on it, I think it's a successful trip. I don't know what people want. I mean, their expectations are what. These Chinese are tough boys and they're going to do what they want to do, and Donald Trump's not going to stop them. But if you can get some kind of common ground where there's an economic benefit to both countries being friendlier to Each other, then you take it and you know. But I don't. People don't understand China. They don't understand the mentality. The Chinese. I try my best to explain it, but people, oh, why didn't he do this? Why didn't he do that? You know, you just don't do that if you want to have a good relationship or a decent relationship with the second most powerful nation on earth, which of course the United States should want.

[Chris Cuomo]

Yeah.

[Interviewer/Host]

So the President said, when you meet with these Chinese officials, they're dead serious. There's no pleasantries, no small talk. It's all formality. You met with the Chinese officials. Is that the way it is?

[Sid Rosenberg]

Oh, yeah. Nobody's telling jokes. It's not a lot of mercenary M I r, T H. The thing that bothers me about the Chinese is there are two things. Number one, you'll never know what they're thinking. They'll never tell you. It's not like Americans. We just spout off and people know, you know, what our point of view is. It's not like that over there. Nobody does that. So you don't know what they're thinking. And then they make vague promises like, yeah, we'll help you out in with the Iranian conflict. They're not going to help us out. They're not. And I know it, Trump knows it, everybody knows it. Who's in that game? But you know, the Chinese will go, oh, yeah, we'll help you out now, to me, the way to deal with that is to say, look, we want to de invensify this Taiwan thing, want to talk about it, but we're not going to do anything unless you help us with Iran, Then we get into quid pro quo, then something might happen. But just asking the Chinese for a favor, no, that's not the kind of society it is.

[Interviewer/Host]

So they're very formal and they look very smart. But this idea that they're so brilliant, that the Hundred year strategy, are they that much smarter than us?

[Sid Rosenberg]

They're good at stealing stuff, they steal technology from everybody. Are they that smart? I mean, hard to generalize. If you look at the test scores of Chinese, Americans, totally different game. They're the highest test scores among the students of any ethnic group in this country because they work hard and they're, you know, on focus on a goal of success. But are they any smarter than the Irish? Well, maybe I shouldn't ask that question, but I can't generalize about entire races of people. Yeah.

[Interviewer/Host]

Hey, what should the president do? Iran. He's given them a couple more days to negotiate. What do you think?

[Sid Rosenberg]

I think the Iranians are exhausted with all of the postponements that they've received. So it's coming to a head. I wouldn't be surprised if this week you see some pretty intense military action. He doesn't want to kill civilians. The president does not want to kill civilians. That's what's holding it back because tens of thousands of people will die in that, in those bombings. And he doesn't want to do that. Trump. So he's given the mullahs every opportunity while at the same time reinforcing what the United States needs. And I hate to say it, but they we might have to go back in and then blow the hell out of their infrastructure.

[Interviewer/Host]

Hmm. Well, it'll be interesting Now, Bill O'Reilly, you're leaving for Ireland tomorrow?

[Sid Rosenberg]

No, over the weekend.

[Interviewer/Host]

Oh, okay. And you'll be reporting from there on News Nation. We can watch it there.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Yeah, I'm gonna just every two years, a bunch of friends of mine go to a different destination. So there's 25 guys going on this Ireland trip. Everybody wants to go to Ireland because it's just a beautiful place. We went to Malta two years ago. That was interesting. And then after the festivities and we're going to the southern part of Ireland, you know, Ring and Kerry, dingo, all beautiful. Then I'm going over to London to do this civil war documentary. You know, Britain is in the middle of a civil war here primarily because of migration.

[Interviewer/Host]

Yeah.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Now we don't have that problem because we don't have that many Muslims, but they do. So I'm going to report there and it'll be on News Nation. I don't know when. I have a special coming up on the 4th of July about heroes and villains in a revolutionary war. So that'll be the next thing, the special we do. And then I assume they'll run the London thing in August or September.

[Interviewer/Host]

All right, Bill O'Reilly, thanks for being with us.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Chris Cuomo and I duke it out on News Nation.

[Chris Cuomo]

Why now? Why this? Let's ask Bill O'Reilly, thank you for joining us tonight, Big man, how are you understanding this latest proposition from the Trump administration?

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, I think it is more like Venezuela than you think. So I don't think the United States going to go in there shooting it out. And the reason that Venezuela was relatively successful and easy was he had made deals with the generals, and I suspect those deals have been made with the Cuban people, too. People, you know, who run the Armed forces. But I could be wrong. So I believe that you made a mistake when you said that Iran's not a nuclear threat. It is. And I believe that evidence is overwhelming. But Cuba isn't. And Raul Castro deserves what he gets. We all know that. They've been running narcotics through there since 1962. And they're murderers. They're killers. But I can understand a point of view as. Okay, look, we have all of this problem in the Gulf with Iran. We don't know how this is going to work out. Why do we need to do this on Wednesday? You know, can we wait till June? I understand the question. It should be answered by Hagseth, Secretary of War. But what are you going to do? That just puts it into the. We'd like an answer to this question at. Mr. President. So legitimate question.

[Chris Cuomo]

What's next? Congo?

[Bill O'Reilly]

I don't think so, because Ebola. But there's a lot of minerals in Congo. No nonstop flights.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Cuomo.

[Bill O'Reilly]

That's the problem with the Congo.

[Chris Cuomo]

It's.

[Bill O'Reilly]

It's tough to invade there. You got to stop four or five times before you get there.

[Chris Cuomo]

It doesn't. It doesn't strike you as curious that not a single member of this puppet administration's intelligence apparatus has come forward with any kind of suggestion that the regime in Iran was weeks away from having a nuclear weapon. Not a single word doesn't strike you as curious?

[Bill O'Reilly]

No, because I interviewed, as we spoke on this program, the weapons inspectors out of Austria. And I did interview some US intel people, all of whom say that the enrichment of uranium was going full bore. And, yeah, you can say three weeks or eight weeks, but the intent is there for Iran. They don't want to give up whatever nuclear stuff they're doing. If they weren't doing anything, they'd let the inspectors in and all this would go away for them, right? Yeah.

[Chris Cuomo]

That's why you had the jcpoa.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, look, whatever initials you want to use, they won't let allow any weapons inspectors in to see what they are doing. I do trust US Intelligence. I don't think it's a compromised outfit, as some political outfits are. I could be wrong. I was wrong about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. And the reason I was wrong was because Saddam Hussein told his own generals he had them. And then those generals leaked it to the New York Times and put it on page one. And, well, I bought it.

[Chris Cuomo]

That's not what happened.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Of course that's what happened.

[Chris Cuomo]

The Bush administration, the Bush administration lied about there being yellow cake uranium. And there Being weapons of mass destruction.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I don't know about yellow cake.

[Chris Cuomo]

That's how it started. It didn't come through the New York Times. It came through the Bush administration.

[Bill O'Reilly]

If you go back, Mr. Fairbrok is easy for you to do. It was on page one of the New York Times.

[Chris Cuomo]

I'm sure it was.

[Bill O'Reilly]

They had weapons destruction, and it ruined a person, you know, career, the reporter.

[Chris Cuomo]

I'm well aware.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I'm well aware it's ruined because every word I said is true.

[Chris Cuomo]

Well, you think every word you say, that's okay, Cuomo, you want to put

[Bill O'Reilly]

ten grand on it now? I'll prove it.

[Chris Cuomo]

Yes. I'll tell you what. I'll put $100,000 on this proposition that the idea that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction did not start with the New York Times, it started with the Bush administration. And that's why Colin Powell wound up losing his career when he very well could have been a superior president of the United States, because they made it up. They ruined intelligence careers and they lied.

[Bill O'Reilly]

It started with.

[Chris Cuomo]

He may have been saying it, but to blame the New York Times for what the Bush administration did. No, it started with Saddam, I'll give you that. But that's not what we're talking about. And also, it doesn't matter, because it never ends, Bill. We're doing it right now with what's happening in Iran. And I would bet my left eye that if they do something in Cuba, there will also be something we didn't know that they had brewing, that it had to happen right now. And I think the American people are about to show in the midterms, they signed up for a war at home over affordability, over health care, over what's going to happen in the new economy. And that is all being distracted from by these moves. Fair to say.

[Bill O'Reilly]

It's pretty cynical of you to say that U.S. intel is just garbage and, you know, doesn't.

[Chris Cuomo]

No, that's what Trump said.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Accurately.

[Chris Cuomo]

I never said that. That's what Trump said standing in Helsinki next to Vladimir.

[Bill O'Reilly]

You're gonna bet your left eye I

[Chris Cuomo]

watched it in real time.

[Bill O'Reilly]

You're gonna bet your left eye. Okay, this is what you said, that the reason that we're doing the Iran thing is bogus. You think it's bogus?

[Chris Cuomo]

There was no imminent nuclear threat and US Intelligence shouldn't be blamed. They never told Trump that the regime was weeks away from a nuclear weapon. Never happened. They never said it. And that's why even he can't have them come forward and lie about it and say, yes, we did. It was imminent. That's why they're quiet.

[Bill O'Reilly]

All I can tell you is that the reports that Trump get say that now, whether he puts them out publicly, it's up to him. But getting back to Iran, what's likely to happen? There is a military strike within a week. I think he might wait until after Memorial Day, but he has to. Can't back down now. Can't back down. Tom Petty once sang it. Can't back down. And Cuba, you know, do you have to do this now? Is it a diversion possible? You know, you didn't have to announce Raul Castro's warrant today. He could have done it two weeks from now. But does it hurt Trump to announce that? I don't think so. You do. I don't think it's going to hurt him if he can break Iran. If he doesn't break Iran, Donald Trump's legacy is in trouble. I've said it before, and I said in the very beginning, big gamble, got to win it, got to win it.

[Chris Cuomo]

Not too fair to Tom Petty, though. Tom Petty's song was about not backing down from somebody trying to push him off what he believed was important. Nobody was pushing Trump on this. He sought this out. This was a war of choice started by him, which is why they played with the idea of whether it were a war or not. And you and I discussed how absurd that was, and we've moved past that phase. But it's going to end in a deal, right? At some point, it's just under the control of a bunch of despotic zealots who are in control of that process, because only we need it to end. The zealots don't want it to end. The Israelis don't want it to end, only the Americans do.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But there'll be more punishment for the people of Iran if they don't end it. And Trump can't get. There's only one deal, only one. The inspectors go in.

[Sid Rosenberg]

That's it.

[Chris Cuomo]

Yeah, I agree, I agree. But you're dealing with a bunch of crazy zealots who don't care about their people. And President Trump, at least putatively, must care about his people. Although that's becoming a debatable proposition given what we're watching happen at home. And they're, like, trying. This is so. It's just like a. Remember in the comics, you had Superman and then they created this mirror image antihero of him called Bizarro. And it seems to me that Trump is becoming the Bizarro of Reagan's Superman, that he is creating situations that you know, or make America great again, which came from Reagan, as you and I both remember. And the domestic agenda, though, is just being destroyed by him. And I don't understand why. Why doesn't he just take on what's happening?

[Bill O'Reilly]

I think he didn't believe that the Iranian situation would spiral like it has, because he called me up right when they were first going to do this. He goes, military action or deal? I go deal, if you can get it, because you don't want civilians dead in the dust. And he doesn't.

[Chris Cuomo]

You were right.

[Bill O'Reilly]

And he does it. Okay. And then he said, well, look, I made a campaign promise that they're not going to get nukes. Oriental says they are working feverishly on getting nukes, that the uranium enrichment is going very quickly and now we have a chance to negate that. And I said, better on a deal. But if you have to use military and you're convinced that's the truth, then you have to use military, and that's where we are.

[Chris Cuomo]

So it's your fault.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Everything's my fault, Cuomo. You know that. Come on. But, you know, you paint a very bleak picture of the domestic situation in the United States. And the stock market was up another 600 points today. And I keep saying that the corporate titans wouldn't be backing Trump if they didn't believe that he was going to come out on top on all this. Now, it may take a little while, but Trump has run out of. We're going to delay. We're going to delay. He doesn't have any more time, pretty much. I understand.

[Chris Cuomo]

That's interesting.

[Bill O'Reilly]

There are talks going on right now. He says they're close, but we've heard that word close a lot of times. The American people are going, this is time. Just put this to bed. They are going oil stocks.

[Chris Cuomo]

The oil stocks are very sideways. There's tons of volatility there, even amongst the gamblers within those commodities markets. The stock market is up big, we should all understand, because of a handful of AI companies who went with Trump. Four of the seven that are driving 80% of the growth in the stock market index. The S&P 500 is motivated by a handful of companies. Half the companies in The S&P 500 are flatter down.

[Bill O'Reilly]

In my portfolio, in my portfolio, it's

[Chris Cuomo]

not Main street, okay?

[Bill O'Reilly]

It doesn't matter. In my portfolio, I have one AI stock, one. And the portfolio is up very, very big. But the importance of that is the corporations have not bailed on Trump, I'm

[Chris Cuomo]

sure they haven't, too, because he has taken very good care of them. It's the workers I'm worried about.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Ok? I'm worried about them, too. And that's why things have to be resolved. They have to can't wait.

[Chris Cuomo]

Well, I agree. I just, I believe that the fight should be at home. I believe that the fight should have been not with China about whether or not they can open the strait at Hormuz, but how we get production away from Taiwan and why it's here. I don't understand why the Democrats haven't made this their hill to die on.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Because we're going to be the don't care about that. That's why they have no foreign policy.

[Chris Cuomo]

They may wind up, they may wind up finding this opportunity because it's staring them right.

[Bill O'Reilly]

There's nobody, the Democrats have no foreign policy whatsoever. None. Listen to Schumer. Listen to him read off the words of the page. He doesn't have any foreign policy. And that's what's going to save Trump and the G gop if they can be saved in the midterms, is that am I gonna vote for a party that has nothing, you got nothing. And that's listen, the advantage.

[Chris Cuomo]

They have to have something. You're right. They have to have something. And I will again just direct people to history. Ronald Reagan was the beautiful version of Donald Trump. He was an inspirational figure. He kept saying America was great. Trump has been a reductive opposite of that. But in both sets of midterms, Reagan got walloped after his first and second election for the same reason. Well, maybe we're in a more extreme time and an angrier time, but we'll see. And I will be discussing it with you all the way through. Bill O'Reilly, thank you for being on with us tonight.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Please join me and Sid Rosenberg on WABC Radio

[Sid Rosenberg]

Sports Real life, there's a connection between the state of the city and New York State itself and the performance of the sports teams. And the connection is that people feel better about their environment if they think they're on a winner, if they think that they're represented by teams in the, in the arenas that are something special. And I'm a big Jet fan. And I mean, how long have we been waiting for the jets, you know, and, and the Giants now they have a whole new structure. I think Giants will do well.

[Guest or Co-host]

Me, too.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Coming up. But it has to do with everybody, even people who don't follow it. You know, if you, if you're invested in Sports, and your team is doing well, you feel better, you work better, and that is a very important thing in America.

[Guest or Co-host]

Well, I can tell you this. I'll emphasize what you're saying and show you how right you are. You need that. You know that. But Rudy Giuliani, the greatest mayor in the history of this city, one of the finest politicians ever. When you talk to Rudy about being mayor of New York, and we know 9, 11, all that amazing stuff that he did, you know what he's quick to say? Do you know, when I was mayor, we won five championships? The Rangers, the Giants, and the Yankees all won world championships. He says that almost every time. As if, by the way, he's Jim Layrids he had a home run or as if he's, you know, he threw a touchdown pass or Mark Messi and scored a goal. But to your point, he's proud of that because he felt like that was big for his city.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Yeah. It's civic pride. It's a unifier. So when you have a city that's divided, as we do, on a country that's divided along political lines, and you can have any kind of mechanism that bring people together, it's a huge positive, you know, and it's. I don't want to get too wonky about it, but it's far more important than most people believe. And if you live in a place where they never win and, you know, then everybody's making fun of the teams and, you know, that kind of thing.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Now, Mamdani, I don't. I don't know if he understands basketball. I think he's a soccer guy.

[Bill O'Reilly]

He is.

[Guest or Co-host]

But he's always quick to tweet. He's a Met fan, too, Very big Matt fan, but he's very, very quick to tweet. If you go to Twitter seconds after the Knicks win and they've won eight straight playoff games, you're going to see tweets from both Mamdani and Hochul. You're going to see a picture that Mamdani tweeted last week with him and Spike Lee watching a soccer game together in a Williamsburg bar and Arsenal soccer game together. And him screaming on Twitter, let's go, Knicks. As if he knows, Even knows, Bill O'Reilly, who Dave the Busher is.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Yeah. I mean, look, both Spike Lee and Mandani are communists. So I understand it was a Bowden meeting that night, and they went in. Did you ever run into Spike Lee? The guy's hysterical.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Yeah. Did you ever run into him?

[Guest or Co-host]

Yeah. Your opening day you know, I killed him on the air. And every paper wrote about it, everyone. Because he was wearing this pro Palestinian outfit at the NBA All Star Game. So the Post wrote about it, the news, it was everywhere. I know he saw it. I know he did.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah.

[Guest or Co-host]

Opening day, Yankee Stadium. I'm down by the dining room, by the Legends Lounge, who walks over. Spike Lee, puts out his hand, says, hey, good to see you.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Did you check your watch after that? Now I bet I know Lee forever. And Lee had one of the best lines during Iraq War. I was in the men's room at the Garden just freshening up, and he comes walking in, all right? Spike Lee's about 5 foot 2 and I'm 6 foot 4. And I make a big show out of looking down at him, okay? So he looks up at me and he goes, hey, O'Reilly, did you find any weapons of mass destruction in here?

[Guest or Co-host]

Oh, that's funny. Yes, that's funny.

[Sid Rosenberg]

I said, run along, sonny.

[Guest or Co-host]

So you people don't know this, but I do. O'Reilly sits right by the court. I think you're right by my friend Corey Zelnick. So you, you're not far from where Spike Lee, I think he sits on the other side of the scores bench, right by Mike Breen. Right. But you're right there. You'll be on the court at the same time. Will you say hello to Spike Lee

[Sid Rosenberg]

later on I see him, I'll say hello to him, sure. I'm not that kind of guy. Yeah, unless you're threaten or doing something to harm my family.

[Guest or Co-host]

Right.

[Sid Rosenberg]

I say hello to Mr. Met, I'm checking my wallet right? After he gets proximity to me, I'm checking everything, right? Making sure I still have the cross around my neck. You know, these communists that take everything you gotta check.

[Guest or Co-host]

I don't know.

[Sid Rosenberg]

I don't have any animus towards Spike.

[Guest or Co-host]

No, not towards Spike, but I'm not sure that's the case with everyone. I mean, in the final three minutes, if I said to you, Bill O'Reilly, that at the Knickerbocker game tonight, sitting right next to you would be one of the most. And this is a silly hypothesis, but I'll do it anyway. Would be one of the most powerful mullahs from Iran who hates Trump and hates America and wants to continue this war in Iran. Would you say hello to that guy?

[Sid Rosenberg]

I don't think I'd say hello to him. I drag him out to 8th Avenue and go, yo, take care of this guy.

[Guest or Co-host]

There you go, there you go. Because where are we, you know, I have this conversation all morning long with Victoria Coates and others, and you know this better than anybody. It's a, it's a, it's a good question. You know, the strait and regime and the uranium, and here we are. It's another delay, another extension. Trump says, I'm not worried about time, I'm not worried about it. I'll take as long as I have to. Yet in the meantime, the midterms are coming up in a couple of months and there are people nervous about that. What are your thoughts on where we really are in this conflict?

[Sid Rosenberg]

They change from day to day, so you can't really analyze it because of the intel that comes in. So I think there is a better than even chance that the United States will have to take more military action against Iran. But it's not a lock. When you have a situation that's fluid, as they say, when Israeli, nobody in charge on the other side, things can fall into line quickly, and that's what the President is hoping for. He doesn't want to kill civilians in Iran because he knows that unintended consequences is going to ripple out. But on the other hand, most Americans are fed up with this. They're fed up with it, and he's got to resolve it. And not only that, but I'm looking all over Long island for soybeans. I mean, we have sold, what, 18 gazillion soybeans to China. Who's getting that money? Where are the soybeans? I want to know where they are. Okay. All I hear about every time President Trump goes to Beijing is we just sold them more soybeans. Where are the soybeans?

[Guest or Co-host]

I don't know. Listen, one of my favorite movies ever is Trading Places. Eddie Murphy was brilliant in that movie, an all time great film. And all he talked about beginning of that movie was pork bellies. And I don't know where the hell those things are, what those things are either. You know what a pork belly is?

[Sid Rosenberg]

I don't know where the soybeans are. They in the Pacific on their way over. And when they get there, what are the Chinese gonna do with soybeans? We put soy sauce on soybeans. What do you do? I don't know. So there's a lot of complicated stuff here. I would drop the soybeans on the Iranians.

[Guest or Co-host]

Instead of bombs, you mean? And missiles,

[Sid Rosenberg]

soybeans, and say, china made me do this.

[Guest or Co-host]

It's not a bad idea. You should actually text the President. He loves you, takes your advice all the time. Hit him with soybeans. Mr. Potus, you know, he's going to be in New York tomorrow in Rockland county with Mike Lawler. I'm going to be there if you're

[Bill O'Reilly]

going to be there.

[Sid Rosenberg]

You probably in Montauk, but no going to Ireland.

[Guest or Co-host]

Oh, that's tomorrow?

[Sid Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Guest or Co-host]

Oh, my God. You are looking forward to this trip, you and 24 of your craziest friends.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Yeah, I bail them all out.

[Guest or Co-host]

Yeah. I was going to say I'm hoping

[Sid Rosenberg]

the immigration authorities in Ireland are going to allow them in, but that's awesome.

[Guest or Co-host]

So you're all going to meet tomorrow morning at like. Or is it later at Kennedy?

[Sid Rosenberg]

Everybody's got separate flights over to Shannon, and then we'll go down at Killarney, the ring of Kerry Dingle. Beautiful. I mean, you know, if you tour the world and you want to see natural beauty and folks that are nice folks and everything, that's the place to go. And then after we do some R and R down air in Ireland, then I'm going over to London to do a special for News Nation about the civil war between Muslims and the old English, the traditional English people. That is really getting out of control.

[Guest or Co-host]

Out of control. I'm glad you're doing that because I know about it firsthand. Spending as much time as I have the last couple of years in London because of Avis you have with Spencer. That is a very important story. I'm glad you're doing that.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Yeah, we're doing it. And you know me, I'm going right to the source of it. So it'll be an interesting few days. We'll be out of town. But you know, with the cell phones, anybody call anybody and get any score you want. It's not like you're in Bhutan someplace.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Even there.

[Guest or Co-host]

Even.

[Sid Rosenberg]

There you go.

[Guest or Co-host]

I mean, you called me from Beijing a couple of months ago.

[Sid Rosenberg]

You remember that, Right? Right. And so I'm just hoping, look, the United States is doing something noble by trying to protect the world from a terrorist state that I believe is close to developing a nuclear weapon. Now, Chris Cuomo does not believe that. Okay? And people believe what they want to believe. That's what they do. I could be wrong, you know, but if I am wrong, that's not going to be good, okay. For the powers that be, because that's how they're selling this, and I'm buying it. And it makes perfect sense. We've done our research here at the no Spin news and billo reilly.com all the weapons inspectors say they have rich uranium very close. So what are you supposed to do? Allow them to do this?

[Interviewer/Host]

Yeah.

[Guest or Co-host]

Supposed to. Because you're America first and you don't care how many people die in Iran, except they have a nuclear weapon which can kill people on Staten Island. But we don't. We don't think about that. Because Tucker said not to.

[Sid Rosenberg]

Yeah. Or $5 a gas, you know?

[Guest or Co-host]

Right.

[Sid Rosenberg]

And you put your own self interest above the interest of the world.

[Guest or Co-host]

Please.

[Sid Rosenberg]

So that's the way I look at it. And I'm rooting for our country to knock out these heinous mullahs. And I hope it happens.

[Guest or Co-host]

Me, too.

[Sid Rosenberg]

But it gotta happen fairly quickly.

[Guest or Co-host]

Totally agree. Have fun in Ireland and we'll talk next week. Have a safe trip. Okay, pal.

[Sid Rosenberg]

All right. Thank you for having me, Sid.
