Prices and participation may vary. Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the Been News. Wednesday, September 10th, 2025. Stand up for your country. Good initial reception for Confronting Evil. Okay. Streaking up the Amazon charts in a very interesting one hour conversation with Sean Hannity on his radio program today about our responsibility, regular folks to combat evil. And I hope you check it out. We have it posted on our website. And then I wake up this morning and this evil guy right here, Putin, we find out he sent drones and missiles to Poland to try to kill people, innocent people in Poland. This is Putin. Am I surprised? No. I told you from the very beginning about this guy. That's why he's on the COVID of the book. But this is a very serious story and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. So Poland has triggered NATO's Article 4. Prime Minister Donald Tusk reported Russian drones breached Polish airspace during an overnight strike. Okay, so the Kremlin, Putin, he basically said Ukraine did it or some stupid thing like that. I don't know whether Putin did this on purpose or his military is just incompetent. I don't really care. I know that Putin wants to cause as much trouble in the world as he can and he's succeeding. That's what I know. So 19 Russian drones were intercepted by Polish missiles and NATO defense systems. None got through. All right, you see the map that Poland is right on the border of Russia and Ukraine and is in the kill zone, literally. So the upshot of this is that now NATO and America are going to have to confront Putin. They have to. Here's what the NATO secretary General Mark Ruta said. Go. Last night, numerous drones from Russia violated Polish airspace. Our air defenses were activated and successfully assured the defense of NATO territory as they are designed to do. Several allies were involved alongside Poland. This included Polish F16s, Dutch F35s, Italian AWACs, NATO military role, tanker, transport and German patriots. I commend the pilots and all who contributed to this quick and skillful response. Now, President Trump is talking to the Polish president, and we'll have more on that tomorrow. Trump's going to have to say something, but more importantly, he's going to have to do something. Now, I have not Monday morning quarterback Donald Trump on this because I understand the danger that Putin poses because he would use nuclear weapons. It's another reason you need to read Confronting Evil to see just how bad this guy is. He is a psychopath, right? He's worse than he was, far worse than when Trump was dealing with him six years ago, because he has absolute power in Russia. So Russia's got 150 million people. It is the largest landmass on earth, all right? The country is enormous, and Putin has unlimited power. Whenever you give a human being unlimited power, the person goes crazy. And that's one of. You'll see in the book. All right? Leader after leader after leader after. They do absolutely bonkers because there are no restraints. And if you are evil to begin with, that evil just heightens. And that's what's happened to Putin. But I had his number from the very beginning. You will remember a soundbite that went worldwide on February 5, 2017. This was right before the Super Bowl. I interviewed Donald Trump about many things, but zeroed in on Putin. Go. Do you respect Putin? I do respect him. Do you? Why? Well, I respect a lot of people, but that doesn't mean I'm going to get along with him. He's a leader of his country. I say it's better to get along with Russia than not. And if Russia helps us in the fight against isis, which is a major fight, and Islamic terrorism all over the world. Right? Major fight. That's a good thing. Will I get along with him? I have no idea, though. Putin's a killer. A lot of killers. We got a lot of killers. Why you think our country's so innocent? You think our country's so innocent? I don't know of any government leaders that are killers in the. Well, take a look at what we've done, too. We've made a lot of mistakes. All right, so Donald Trump did go into his second term believing he could reason with Vladimir Putin. He didn't lie when he campaigned, said, oh, I'll solve Ukraine wider way. That wasn't a lie. It just was a false perception. Because Putin, as I said, have changed. You need to know, all right, about what the danger is over there, because it could get out of control. And the kicker on this is the Iranians are the same as Putin. There's no level of evil. It's 911 weak. Wouldn't even have 9 11. It never would have occurred at the Ayatollah and taken over. And the Persian people allowed him to. But they didn't have nukes. Trump prevented them from getting nukes. And we'll prove that coming up in this broadcast is a very key thing on 911 week. But I believe that back against the wall, Putin would use nukes. Gotta be very, very careful here. You can't allow them to go any further. This is it, all right? You gotta slap every economic sanction you can on Putin right now, right this week. And you got to send a message that I would mobilize NATO troops, I would mobilize them now into Poland. All right? You got to send a message because that's it. Talking. Not going to do anything. The other thing in confronting evil that you'll learn is Putin's own personal dacha in a Black Sea. I describe it down to a table. This is unbelievable research. And there is something inside that DACA that bolsters my belief that this man would use nuclear weapons. Tactical, you know, he's not going to drop the bomb on New York City. That's impossible. But he could certainly drop low level nukes and cause a nuclear war, because we'd have to reply in kind. And that's a memoir. So we're on it. You're not going to get the truth anywhere else but here. I shouldn't say that. That's too braggadocio. But stay with us. Now, at the same time, Russia's threatening Finland, another new NATO ally. All right, this guy Dmitry Medvedev, just. He's Putin's puppet. Here's what he said. The main thing for the Finnish establishment is not to forget that confrontation with US Russia could lead to the collapse of the Finnish statehood once and for all. Okay, Dimitri, you want to start World War 3? Start messing with Finland. Any NATO country that's attacked by Russia leads to World War iii. Dit. Let's face it, the US Economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

Okay, so for some reason the Qatari leadership allows Hamas big shots to live there under the guise of, well, we're mediating and we're, we're putting up a treaty and all of that. Well, Israel's had enough of that. So they're trying to kill every Hamas leader. This is controversial. The progressives hate Israel. In America and across Western Europe, it's the same thing. And this one, this attack was Israel against gutter, which Trump doesn't want. Okay, and here's Caroline Levitt's statement on the Israeli attack. Go.
- [11:49]
C
This morning the Trump administration was notified by the United States military that is Israel was attacking Hamas, which very unfortunately was located in a section of Doha, the capital of Qatar. Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard and bravely taking risks for with us to broker peace does not advance Israel or America's goals.
- [12:16]
B
No, I believe that Netanyahu did give Trump a heads up. I could be wrong, but I don't think the US Military called up the. I think Trump knew something was up. But remember, we can't control everything Israel does and Israel does overreact. But their goal and stated goal that everybody knows we're going to kill every Hamas leader care where they are. Not justifying, just reporting now There is a movement in the United States and Western Europe to boycott everything Israel. It's not really succeeding, but there are some movie stars and personalities that signed on to it. And here they are. Emma Stone, Susan Sarandon, Alyssa Milano, Deborah Winger, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardin singing Bar Dem Right, Cynthia Nixon, Julie Christie. And these are all left wing progressives. It's no surprise there. Doesn't matter. What does matter is that a lot of the American media sympathizes with Hamas and the Palestinians. They do. And that that matters because then the coverage is skewed and Americans don't get the full picture. Capitalism. So capitalism is a system that provides the most opportunity for the most people on this earth. There is no economic system even close to it. The other alternatives are socialism, communism, fascism. That's what Hitler did. Hitler ran the entire German economy. The Third Reich ran it, but he allowed capitalism. So the companies like Mercedes, Benz, BMW, they were all around Krupp in Germany. They could do and make money, but they had, they had to answer to the government if they did anything government didn't like. That's fascism. Communism is where the government controls every part of the marketplace. You can't do anything. Okay? Now in China, as a communist country, they allow some people to make a lot of money, but that's always the case. But the regular folks, no, socialism is like a little bit not as intense as communism. You don't seize private property, but the government runs the economy. That's what Bernie Sanders and AOC Mandani, that's what they want. Okay? Now capitalism to me has been I personal experience. My God. I got out of Boston university in the mid-70s with a master's in broadcast journalism. I didn't have enough money. And this is literally true. Put gasoline in my car to drive from Boston to Scranton, Pennsylvania, which was my first job. I had to borrow 20 bucks to get a tank full of gas to get out there. I said to general manager of the station WNEP TV in Scranton, I said, look, you'd have to advance me some money to put down an apartment or I'm going to be living under a bridge. You want to want me to live under a bridge? I don't have any money. So I started with zero, nothing, no assets. And I've through hard work and I'm using my God given talents and they are God given, okay? I am now a wealthy individual. Could not have happened in any other system but capitalism. Okay? Now if Bernie Sanders had his way, take 50, 60% of what I have earned through hard work and sacrifice. He'd just take it away and do whatever he wants with it. I can't possibly support it. But there is a new poll, Gallup. Okay. About capitalism. First question off the top of your head. Would you say you have a positive or negative image of each of the following? Capitalism, positive image, 54%, the lowest number ever on a Gallup poll. About capitalism, negative. About capitalism in the United States, 42%. Now this is in four years, down six points. So 20, 21, 60% were positive toward capitalism, socialism. Right now, 39% of Americans in positive view of socialism. You want to give up your economic freedom. Apparently 40% of Americans do. They don't care. Yeah, I'll give up my economic freedom. Staggering to me. Okay, now that was number was four years ago, 38%. So that's stayed pretty much the same. Joining us now from Columbia, South Carolina, capital of the state, is Patrick Brown. He is a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. That's a conservative group think tank based in D.C. why do you think younger Americans in particular are souring on capitalism, which has been proven over and over and over again to be the way to lift yourself from poverty, from working class status into affluence? What has changed?
- [17:33]
D
Well, capitalism definitely has a PR problem. There's no doubt about it. When you look at the polling, the young people today, they do have that hesitancy. They hear capitalism and they think, not the Bill O'Reilly of the 1970s scrapping his way to become who he became, but of a big healthcare CEO, denying coverage to somebody who they saw on social media or trying to get on the ladder themselves and feeling like it's just impossible to, to start a family or buy a house. I think those are some of the concerns that people have. And so when they, when you ask them, do you like capitalism? They're comparing it in their head to some sort of ideal other system. They're not thinking of the Soviet Union or even the high tax rates that, you know, someone like, you know, presumptive mayor of New York, perhaps Mamdani would propose. They're thinking about, well, I would love to have capitalism that works a little bit better for me in my circumstance in life.
- [18:26]
B
But isn't that stupidity? So it takes a while to amass assets. It takes years to do it. You know, when I first started out, I rented an apartment. I didn't have enough money to buy a house. Couldn't put a down payment on a house. I had to buy a used car. Okay. I mean, but I accepted it. That's how you start. And then I put, put off a family because I knew I couldn't afford a family and then try to, you know, stairs up a career. So isn't it stupidity or nayote or something? Now, are these people that dumb? They don't understand that it takes time to build affluence?
- [19:05]
D
I think naivete might be a good word for it. I think you look at the rising age of first. First time people get married is now in their 30s. First time having a kid. It's Rosen. Tremendously, since the early 70s, late 70s, people are delaying these milestones in life much later than they used to. Part of that's because that sense that it's just harder to get on the treadmill maybe than it used to be. Part of it is because we're a richer country now, right. And people are on their phones or watching Netflix and they see, wow, that's a beautiful house. That's my ideal of what a house needs to look like for me to be able to buy it. Well, that's not affordable for, you know, somebody in their 20s. But the, the, the hedonic treadmill keeps pushing us up where.
- [19:44]
B
It's where we. Patrick, wait a minute. Remember that show, Lifestyles that are Rich and Famous with dopey Robin Leach. Remember that? Remember that show? Okay. The same day I saw that show. Oh, look at. I'm out here. I mean, yeah, I'm not an idiot. I mean, I'm 27. I know I can't afford it, but maybe when I'm 40, I can. The unrealistic expectations, not only younger Americans, but a lot across the board that they think that everything's going to work out. Yeah. Bad health companies, bad insurance companies all day long. Would you fight it? That's why I opened up the concierge membership to billorilly.com so when you get hosed, I'll help you fight it. But you can win most of those fights. But if you go to Canada, just socialize medicine, socialize this, socialize that, you want a knee transplant, you can't get one, we'll give you one. Six years from now, you go over to Britain, try to get your teeth fixed in Great Britain, good luck to you.
- [20:56]
D
They might offer you assisted suicide instead. But yeah, definitely a sense where people are not thinking about the real life alternatives. Right again, Canada.
- [21:05]
B
But why aren't they?
- [21:07]
D
They have to pay for it for sure. It's a lot higher tax rates. The government gets way more involved in people's lives than I think even the most die hard supporters of Bernie Sanders would ever want. And so there is some resetting of expectations that I would agree with you, that would be helpful. But also, look, we spend $7 on seniors for every one that we do on kids and families from the federal level, it's fair to say, hey, look, let's think about the ways that we've stacked the deck in favor of long term homeowners. Instead of people getting out, getting just started in life, let's build more housing, make the cost of living more affordable. I think those are some of the political things we can do to kind of tamp down some of this.
- [21:44]
B
All right, but that's local and state. Okay. Capitalism is a global economic system. I don't object to anybody in any state or any county putting up housing that's affordable. I think it's a good thing. Okay. But capitalism itself requires an understanding. And I think the public school system, this is the key to. It doesn't teach that they don't know these kids. They come out with all of this unrealistic expectation that I'm going to have this, I'm going to have that. Why does somebody have it, I don't have it, that kind of a thing. You got to work hard for it. That's why America is a great country. It's built on the backs of the working class who that wanted to move up and was willing to make the sacrifice. These kids just want it handed to them. They're spoiled. And this is what they're taught in school. You deserve this. You don't have it because society's evil. The corrupt, billionaires, that kind of garbage, they're being lied to. But these, these Americans who want socialism and reject capitalism, they want to believe this stuff. It's not based on any reality.
- [23:00]
D
There's definitely an element to that. And there was a law passed in Ohio, I think last year, the year before that actually required high school students to learn the fundamentals of just basic economics. Supply, demand, why these things work the way they do. I think that's a great idea. It would also help if businesses kind of step back from trying to be social justice warriors like we saw during the COVID era where everybody had the flags and the rainbows and the, you know, Black Lives Matter type stuff. I think that also kind of poisons the. Well, what are companies actually for? Are they for delivering services and making life more affordable or are they trying to play cultural influencer? That's probably also some part of the aspect as well.
- [23:37]
B
Yeah. And there are good and bad corporations I have worked for both corporations are rotten, awful, terrible, greedy. And I've also operated in a benign atmosphere. Hey Patrick, we really appreciate your time. Thanks for helping us out. One hopefully we can bring it back. Okay. It's an update on the murder of Irina Rootska in Charlotte. So this is evil. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways.
- [24:10]
A
To tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment of $45 for 3 month plan equivalent to $15 per month required new customer offer for first 3 months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks.
- [24:34]
B
Busy taxes and fees extra.

D
See mintmobile.com recently we asked some people about sharing their New York Times accounts.
- [24:40]
A
I would be very interested in having separate logins for a shared subscription subscription. I'm 35 years old. I still share my parents New York Times subscription.
- [24:50]
B
I think if my teenagers were to have their own logins we could share articles.
- [24:55]
D
It doesn't let us play the same games as each other. I do the crossword, I do the spelling bee. I do the wordle.
- [25:01]
B
Please help.
- [25:02]
A
Having our own accounts would be amazing. My mom could save her own recipes. My friends could save their recipes. I want to get the weekly newsletter.
- [25:10]
B
But they seem to always go to.
- [25:11]
A
My husband and then he doesn't forward them to me. We both love cooking. I'm a 30 minute and under dinner girly. My boyfriend is very elaborate. I think him having his own profile would be great. We love the New York Times and we would love to love it individually.
- [25:26]
D
We heard you introducing the New York Times Family subscription. One subscription, up to four separate logins for anyone in your life.

B
Find out more@nytimes.com family this woman comes here, 23 years old, wants a better life, understands that you can get a better life in USA than you have in Ukraine. And she's murdered by a 34 year old schizophrenic who should have never been out on the street because progressive policies do not want to punish people who are dangerous. And that is the truth. That is the absolute truth. So the judge who really allowed this killer to take Irene his life is named Teresa Stokes. Okay. Now Stokes knew because Brown had been arrested 14 times. Right? There's Stokes. All right. Now she Knew he was dangerous. She knew he was a nut. He was actually saying that something was controlling his body to the police. He had all this testimony to. She let the man out. Blood on her hands. Now, the chief district court judge is Roy Wiggins in North Carolina, and we expect him to remove Judge Stokes from the bench. He has the power to do that. And I'm telling you, Judge Wiggins, if you do not do that, I'm coming after you. Coming after you remove this woman. This evil has to stop. And not only in Charlotte, but all over the United States. Judges have to be removed on notice. Judge Wiggins, I don't want to be disrespectful, but on notice. Media coverage. So Irina was killed on Friday, August 22nd. The following week, the entire week. ABC News, World News Tonight. That's Muir giving weather for almost a half an hour every night. Okay, no coverage. Not NBC Nightly News. No coverage. Tire week. CBS Evening News. No coverage. None. Didn't want to touch it because a black man killed a white woman. That's why the network news ignored the story. So White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt had something to say about that. Go.
- [28:03]
C
This is madness. This monster should have been locked up. And arena should still be alive. But Democrat politicians, liberal judges, and weak prosecutors would rather Virtue Signal than lock up criminals and. And protect their communities. And perhaps most shamefully of all, the majority of the media, many outlets in this room decided that her murder was not worth reporting on originally because it does not fit a preferred narrative.
- [28:29]
B
Absolutely true. And that's how corrupt the US Media is. And that goes along with coverage of Putin, coverage of capitalism. The deterioration in the information that you're getting is stunning, which is why I'm glad you're here listening to me this evening. All right, this Epstein story, look, this is almost impossible to cover this story in a fair way. The facts are these. Epstein is a monster. He admitted suicide. The world is a better place. His associate, Maxwell, 20 years in prison. Should serve every single day of it. Epstein knew a lot of powerful people, including Presidents Clinton and Trump. He knew them. He socialized with them. The Democratic Party desperately wants to link Trump to Epstein in a criminal way. All of that's true. Then you descend into. We don't know what's true anymore.
- [29:33]
D
We.
- [29:33]
B
Wall Street Journal prints a birthday card, 50th birthday card that Donald Trump allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. Okay? And the card is some kind of outline of a woman with Trump's signature on it and a note to Epstein. Trump denies that that is his hand. Says he did not do it. Roll the tape.
- [29:56]
C
The President did not write that letter. He did not sign those documents. He maintains that position, and that position will be argued in court by his lawyers. The President is very confident he is going to win this case.
- [30:07]
B
No, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know, Doc. And I cover it. I can just tell you where the situation is. And with Putin, with the economy, with all of these things happening, Epstein's like 80th on my list. However, not going to ignore it. So we will report the facts. Biden. Now it's becoming increasingly clear the man didn't know what he was doing the entire time he was serving as President. Just the news, which is an excellent reportorial outfit, has gotten documents that say the following. That Biden pardoned more people and issued more executive orders than any other president in history. That Biden used the auto pen, not his personal signature, to do most of that work. Now there is a debate on whether Biden even knew what the pardons were, that somebody else might have done it. And apparently memos indicate that Biden himself threw a lot of this stuff to Vice President Harris, who couldn't sign it legally but could use the auto pen, could order it signed. But the importance of this story is for four years this country was run by a President who did not know what he was doing. And I think the evidence is overwhelming. Yet if he had stayed on that ballot, I mean, Harris lost to Trump, but Biden probably would have gotten 70 million votes. Boy, Iran. There is a report, and this is based on data from the Science and International Security Organization, okay, that says this, quote, the first time in over 15 years, no breakout estimate to Wetman grade uranium is included in our reporting on the International Atomic Energy Agency reports. Iran has no identifiable route to produce weapon grade uranium in a centrifuge plant, unquote. Now, this is just a report. Okay, I think it's true, but I want to think it's true because of the raid, because Trump bombed the facility. What they say for the first time we studied the data. Iran can't get a nuke for 15 years. I want you to remember the reaction after. Okay, the bombing that took place in June. Roll the tape.

Senator Murphy from Connecticut is perhaps the biggest propagandist in the Senate. He's worse than Schiff. He's worse than anybody. But just remember, they said what they said, and now we have a report. People believe what they want to believe. So for the last few years, Harvard, my alma mater, has been the worst college in the country about freedom of speech from its students. Okay? And that means that if you were a student at Harvard and said something, you were punished by your peers, by your teachers, whatever it may be. Harvard was number one out of 257 schools evaluated for the last few years. Harvard is now off the top 10 list. Okay, and here are the worst colleges for freedom of speech, as ranked by the foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. Barnard College, New York City is the worst. And that is a horrible place. And it's associated with the second worst. Columbia University. Indiana University. That's pretty shocking. For University of Washington. 5. Northeastern in Boston. 6. University of California, Davis. 7. Boston College. The Jesuit school, Boston College persecutes students who do not toe the progressive line. You Jesuits. That's a disgrace. A disgrace. New York University. Predictable. Middlebury College in Vermont. Predictable. Loyola University Chicago, another Catholic school. What are you people doing now? Here are the top. Claremont, McKenna, L.A. is the best for freedom of speech. Purdue. University of Chicago. Michigan Tech. University of Colorado, Boulder. Now, you wouldn't expect that to be one of the best. University of North Carolina, Greensboro. Vanderbilt, Tennessee. Okay. Appalachian State, Eastern Kentucky, North Carolina. State. So when you are considering a school for your children or grandchildren, you need to look at this list. You don't want your children or grandchildren terrorized if they practice their freedom of speech. Back with the final thought in a moment. Okay. As I mentioned, we have a special on News Nation tonight, 10pm Eastern. If that's too late to stay up, just DVR it. You're going to want to see this. It's Leland Witter, our pal, okay, interviewing me about my book. And here's a clip. Go.

One of the most interesting parts of Hitler's rise to power, and you write about this, is that he told the German people, this is what I want to do, and then did it. He was elected. What does that say?

B
He wrote a book, Mein Kopf. They put him in jail in 1920s because he was such a threat from the very beginning. He didn't try to disguise his evil. He didn't try to disguise.

D
What does it say that he was then elected to committee?
- [37:48]
B
It says the German people are partially responsible for that whole thing over there. That's what it says. Now, they never got the Nazis, never got a majority vote, but they were high enough to, to win power. So Hitler, look, you got a guy here who was very brave. And we write about that. In World War I, he won the Iron Cross as a corporal. I mean, the guy was not some wallflower bureaucrat, okay? He was robust in his evil. And then he took advantage of number one, the treaty where the Germans lost in World War I that devastated German society. And then the Great Depression where people didn't have anything to eat.

D
Okay, so harsh conditions breed evil.
- [38:37]
B
Always. Always. That is the stair step that all of these maniacs took to gain power. Wasn't it hard for Hitler to amass 40% of the German people voting for him? And the largest ethnic group in the USA are German Americans. A very, very interesting documentary. Again, News Nation tonight, 10pm Eastern. I will also be on Cuomo at 8. There's a report that Charlie Kirk, the conservative commentator, has been shot. So we are compiling information. We will deal with that. I think tonight on News Nation, another evil act, right? Thank you for watching this evening. We'll see you tomorrow.

Hi, my name is Danielle Maltby and I'm an RN based in Chicago. I've always worn figs. Figs has been a huge part of my journey in medicine, and not just because they make the best scrubs, which they do. Trust me. They're a brand that truly shows up for healthcare professionals. When I traveled to western Kenya with the Luala Community alliance, figs donated scrubs for providers working on the ground. Figs are the most comfortable, most stylish scrubs out there, and I've tried every style and every color, so believe me when I say you can't go wrong. My current faves the Rafela jumpsuit and the Salta underscrub. Literally the easiest, comfiest, best looking outfit. Figs come in a ton of colors, styles and sizes, and I hope you check them out. You won't be sorry. And now listeners of this podcast can get 15% off their first order. Head to wherefigs.com and use code FIGSRX at checkout. That's wherefigs.com code FIGSRX.
