Episode: The O'Reilly Morning Edition, March 6, 2026

Date: March 6, 2026

Overview

In this concise morning edition, Bill O’Reilly discusses the divisive reactions among Americans to US military involvement in Iran, expressing shock at those he feels are “rooting against their own country” for political gain. He singles out Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut for strong criticism, highlighting Murphy’s opposition to President Trump’s handling of the Iran situation. Throughout the segment, O’Reilly’s tone is direct, incredulous, and highly critical of partisan politics that, in his view, place political ambition above national welfare.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Alleged Discord Over Iran: Americans Rooting Against the US

O’Reilly frames the episode around his shock (“flabbergasted”) at Americans who, due to their strong dislike for President Trump, apparently want the US to fail in its military situation with Iran.
Quote:

“There are Americans rooting against their own country in the Iranian military action situation. I am just flabbergasted.”
— Bill O'Reilly (00:36)

2. Focus on Senator Chris Murphy

O’Reilly singles out Senator Chris Murphy, labeling him a “fanatical radical leftist” and “absolute Trump hater.”
He finds it “beyond belief” that Murphy represents Connecticut.
O’Reilly quotes a statement he attributes to Murphy, summarizing Murphy’s criticisms of Trump:
- The president is “intentionally tanking our economy.”
- He is “the most corrupt president in the history of our nation.”
- Americans want the president to focus on domestic crises, not “quagmires overseas.”
- The Iran situation “already are becoming deadly to American soldiers” and is “a disaster.”
Quote (Murphy, cited by O’Reilly):

“The president is intentionally tanking our economy. He's the most corrupt president in the history of our nation. Americans want him to focus on a crisis here at home. Instead, he's busy getting us involved in quagmires overseas that already are becoming deadly to American soldiers. This is a disaster.”
— Senator Chris Murphy, quoted by Bill O’Reilly (00:55)

3. O’Reilly’s Interpretation and Critique

O’Reilly claims Murphy “wants a bad outcome for the Trump administration in Iran” so he can politically attack Trump.
He frames this as “putting politics over the welfare of Americans,” arguing the real opponents—the “mullahs”—are “vicious killers.”
Urges someone to “tell Senator Murphy” that those adversaries would harm Americans if they could.
Quote:

“This puts politics over the welfare of Americans because the mullahs are vicious killers and if they could kill you and me, they would. Somebody tell Senator Murphy.”
— Bill O’Reilly (01:18)
