Release Date: March 27, 2025

1. National Security Meeting Breach

The episode opens with Bill O’Reilly addressing a significant national security incident involving Mike Walsh, the National Security Adviser. An inadvertent mistake allowed Jeffrey Goldberg, a liberal journalist from The Atlantic, to access a confidential meeting on the Signal app discussing strategies against Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

Bill O'Reilly [04:01]: "It's just...we can't have this again. And if it happens again, people are going to have to get fired."

Roy Gutterman emphasizes the gravity of the breach, questioning how Goldberg's contact information was obtained and advocating for FBI involvement to investigate the lapse.

Roy Gutterman [05:42]: "Goldberg should be interviewed by FBI agents. Right?"

2. Media Bias and Journalism

O’Reilly and Gutterman delve into the role of the media in perpetuating this scandal. They critique the media's handling of the situation, highlighting a Wall Street Journal article by Melissa Korn that attempts to defend Goldberg's credibility despite inaccuracies in his reporting about President Trump.

Roy Gutterman [09:52]: "But Corn is using anonymous sources and saying that Jeffrey Goldberg's reportage for The Atlantic was true and it wasn't."

Gutterman presents evidence disputing Goldberg’s claims, asserting that there is no substantiated proof of Trump referring to fallen World War I soldiers as "losers and suckers." This misrepresentation, according to Gutterman, exemplifies "terrible journalism."

Roy Gutterman [10:22]: "We're finding it out because of me. Did you know that Fast Growing Trees is the biggest online nursery in the USA..."

3. FBI Investigation into Jeffrey Goldberg

The discussion shifts to the appropriate response to the security breach, with Gutterman advocating for a thorough FBI investigation into Goldberg's access to the classified meeting. O’Reilly expresses reservations about law enforcement interfering with journalistic processes.

Bill O'Reilly [15:17]: "Once law enforcement starts tapping into reporters or subpoenaing reporters... it jeopardizes the news gathering process."

Gutterman counters by prioritizing national security over the integrity of the press, stressing the necessity of understanding how such a breach occurred.

Roy Gutterman [15:56]: "I put national security above the process of accumulating facts and information, particularly when terrorism is involved."

4. State of Media and Democracy in America

O’Reilly laments the decline of independent media in the United States, noting the consolidation and closure of local news outlets which he believes endangers democracy.

Bill O’Reilly [16:25]: "We’re in a real crisis now with news deserts around the country."

Gutterman echoes these concerns, highlighting the lack of truly independent voices in mainstream media and the detrimental effect of profit-driven reporting on information quality.

Roy Gutterman [17:06]: "I don't see any independent media in the corporations that are running the shows now on television or radio."

5. President Trump's Executive Order on Elections

A substantial portion of the episode is dedicated to President Donald Trump's Executive Order aimed at reforming election processes across the states. The order includes stringent measures such as:

• Requiring voter ID and proof of citizenship.
• Mandating that mail-in ballots be received by election day.
• Banning foreign nationals from making political donations.

O’Reilly outlines the potential legal challenges, particularly regarding states' autonomy over elections, and emphasizes the administration's focus on safeguarding election integrity.

Bill O'Reilly [22:46]: "Executive order says this, that all people who vote have to provide documentation of citizenship, voter ID."

6. Economic Concerns: Consumer Confidence

The conversation transitions to the state of the economy, referencing a recent consumer confidence survey. The index has dropped by seven points, marking the fourth consecutive monthly decline and the lowest level in twelve years. O’Reilly attributes this downturn to tariffs and stock market volatility, advising listeners to remain calm and avoid panic selling unless holding non-performing investments.

Bill O'Reilly [31:18]: "Don't panic. Don't sell your equities unless you have a bad company, and you know it's bad."

7. Democratic Party Critique

O’Reilly and Gutterman express strong criticisms of the Democratic Party, labeling prominent figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as communists. They argue that the party's policies and rhetoric are extreme and detrimental to American values.

Bill O'Reilly [32:11]: "So why should we be funding this? Let them compete on their own."

Gutterman further criticizes Democratic strategies, highlighting instances of perceived incompetence and manipulation within the party's leadership.

8. Youth Education and Media Consumption

The duo discusses concerns over the current education system, particularly the lack of civics and history education. Gutterman worries that without a solid educational foundation, young Americans may struggle to discern truth from misinformation, ultimately hindering their ability to compete in a globalized society.

Roy Gutterman [18:53]: "Do the younger people that you see every day, do they have the background, historically, information, frame of reference to know what's true and what isn't true?"

9. Historical Reflection on Davy Crockett

In a lighter segment, Gutterman reminisces about the cultural phenomenon of Davy Crockett in the 1950s, contrasting the real historical figure with his Disney portrayal. This reflection serves to underscore the power of media in shaping public perception.

Roy Gutterman [37:19]: "Davy Crockett became a phenomenon. A phenomenon in this country for Disney."

10. Final Thoughts and Upcoming Events

Concluding the episode, O’Reilly promotes an upcoming live show and briefly mentions Stephen A. Smith’s podcast, emphasizing ongoing discussions on political and social issues.

Bill O'Reilly [38:40]: "I hope we knock this out. All right, executive order number one, 100 something. Donald Trump every day."
