Starting point is 00:00:00 I love this from Bill O'Reilly, the woke nightmare. The media loves them, and Colin Kaepernick would play for them if he could. They're out of the closet and in your face. They're on the march determined to change America into a bright shining beacon of socialism where white men are guilty and everyone else is a victim. And he goes into reparations for everybody. Let's welcome to the program, Bill O'Reilly. Hello, Bill.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Back, you're in D.C., huh? I am in D.C. I gave a speech at CPAC earlier this morning about socialism, and I can't believe, Bill, where we are, I made a list yesterday on the air of all of the things that these socialists and Nancy Pelosi and the people who are running for president, I can't think of something that they haven't wholeheartedly embraced that America has never been for, with reparations being delayed. Yeah, because the media used to criticize people who were loons, and now it doesn't. So you can, that's why I said, they're out of their closet and in your face, because they don't, if you are an extremist, and certainly the progressive movement has gotten to that territory, 10 years ago, you would have been cured, but not anymore. So they can say what they want, do what they want, no criticism from their team, and that's what you're seeing. And I think the media is doing them such a grave disservice.
Starting point is 00:01:40 I mean, you know, the media is in on it. They want it. But they're doing them such a grave disservice because no one is checking them. So I think they believe that they're in touch with the average American. But when you talk about slave reparations, you talk about killing a baby, maybe shortly after birth. You talk about a tax of 70%. You talk about universal health care.
Starting point is 00:02:08 I mean, ending capitalism, the American people are not for that, are they? No, but you're making a mistake in the sense that you think the media supports all this crazy stuff. They don't really support it. of the six companies that are running all of the information flow in America, they don't want socialism. They don't want, Disney doesn't want, Mickey to pay 70% of their ticket receipts at Disney World and Disneyland. They don't want that, okay?
Starting point is 00:02:41 But they have no problem embracing this crew because of Trump. see if trump weren't president if there were another republican who wasn't quite as flamboyant i don't think you would be seeing all this but but because trump's in the white houses has opened the door to madness madness so i'm actually you're right the american people don't want any of this and that's why this is actually helping president trump so i am i am i am uh in a way I'm thrilled that the masks have come off and they finally will just say what they're actually for. I think that's really good. The problem, though, is, Bill, if you're right that this is really about Trump, if Trump loses,
Starting point is 00:03:33 if the economy goes down or if something happens during the election and he does lose this election, we then have a group of politicians. I mean, anyone so far that is announced will take us straight line to social. And if they control the House and the Senate and the White House, they will move on these things. And it's lights out in two years. I can't imagine that happening. I can see Trump losing, but he'd lose to somebody like Biden, not to somebody like Kamala Harris. But you don't think Biden would move that ball?
Starting point is 00:04:13 But I think if you look at the abortion poll, for example, after the craziness, of Andrew Cuomo and the governor of Virginia, it just flipped. Most Americans say, you know, enough. I'm not supporting any of this. And I think that's what you're going to see. And if Trump can discipline himself a little bit more, he's now, you know, really, really getting it now. But just float above it and then run your campaign in a methodical way.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Got a good chance to win. I talked to some leadership of some of the biggest voices out there today, and I don't want to, it was private conversations backstage, and so I don't want to say who said this, but they are concerned that it is going to be nothing but investigations and smears from here on out, and which will weaken people from the ability to be able to actually stand up in fire. fight. Back, I'm going to give you two things that I think you have to pass along to your CPAC pals, all right? Okay. Here's the first thing. And I said this on bill o'Reilly.com last night. If I were President Trump, I would tell all my children and any employee of the Trump organization to take the Fifth Amendment if called in front of Congress.
Starting point is 00:05:39 That is not a fair and impartial body any longer. It is not a court of law, but you can be prosecuted if they can trap you into perjury. Do not say a word. sit there like they did in the Godfather and just say, we're not talking because we don't believe this is a fair proceeding. That'll shut down all of the hysteria off Cohen. Secondly, if CPAC does not organize a countergroup to the boycotters of Move On, Media Matters, Bonner Group, all of these people, they will lose the culture war. They've got to be an organized conservative group that can come out and say to Mercedes-Benz, if you pull your sponsorship because these people are threatening you on the far left,
Starting point is 00:06:35 we're going to tell our people that you're doing it. There has to be a central organization from the conservative side in this country to fight the George Soros-funded groups that are running wild, threatening freedom of speech in this country. I will tell you, Bill, that I will tell you that that is already, I'm beginning to see that already in action. People don't know about it yet, but I see that force already in the late stages of being put together. All right, we're going to take a quick break
Starting point is 00:07:16 and then come back with more Bill O'Reilly and Ted Cruz will be joining us. well back with bill o'reilly of course of bill o'reilly dot com the purveyor of that wonderful site you can subscribe there as well as a author of about 17 million uh new york times number one bestsellers including uh killing the s s the most recent one uh bill i want to get uh your take on the cohen hearings this week because it was a big story this week and i really wanted to go away he is now testified i think more times than he actually had clients in total so do you take anything a value out of what Michael Cohen did in front of Congress?
Starting point is 00:07:54 Not really. The man's out for vengeance. I mean, I think he's weaving a tale that has some truth to some allegations, but certainly it is tainted evidence, and we'll all go away when the Mueller report comes out. So once the Mueller report is released, and that rumor is next week will know something, that'll override Cohen. But as I just told Beck, if the Democrats in the House continue to try to subpoena people to divert away from actually improving the country by passing legislation and wasting
Starting point is 00:08:38 everybody's time with this stuff, this will never end. So all the people on the Trump team have got to say, it's not going to testify. So go ahead, subpoena, we're going to win. of the right to take the fifth and not say anything, and that's what we're going to do. So that would shut that down. But do I think that Michael Cohen has any validity to the country today? No, I don't. What do you think about the way the media has handled this in that, you know, they treated Michael Cohen as, you know, completely untrustworthy, and a man with absolutely no credibility through his, the entire campaign, they mocked him constantly, which I think,
Starting point is 00:09:18 honestly, was the right thing to do, because I never had any faith in Michael Cohen telling the truth about anything. But now he's suddenly the most credible man in America. He's basically George Washington in front of Congress. Can you, I mean, it's almost impossible to, to overestimate how disingenuous this stuff is. But this is not a surprise to anyone that since President Trump took office um they've been trying to get them out of there and you know there's no downside to the democratic party to continue to accuse the president of the united states of anything and everything every day every second every way because they'll just wear people down which is what they want to do let me may i ask you this bill um the one thing that several republican senators
Starting point is 00:10:12 said during his testimony, and I found this so, so interesting, and I'd love to hear your take on this. They kept saying, this is where you start? I mean, you usually start an investigation with somebody credible, somebody big, somebody that has something. He had nothing, and what he did have, he had no credibility to present. So does this say something about what they do have, or don't? In reality? I mean, you've got to feel that Mueller, whatever the Democrats have, Mueller knows about. So that'll be put to bed this time. When we talk a week from today, we may have the scenario about Donald Trump and what he did or did not do.
Starting point is 00:10:59 But I'll tell you this, when I heard the Cohen stuff, and I didn't really take him seriously and wasn't going to pay a lot of time to him. when I heard him say, oh, Trump really didn't want to be president. He was doing this for his brand. Remember that? Remember when he said that? Yes, yes, yes. That's a lie. I mean, I know that personally. I had dozens of conversations with Donald Trump about policy, where he asked me tons of questions. And why would he do that if he didn't care and was just campaigning to be president for his president? France. So let me ask you this. Maybe, maybe, because I believe the truth is somewhere in between. I think Donald Trump would love to be, would have loved to be president, wanted to be
Starting point is 00:11:49 president, ran seriously as president, but also created the counter narrative in his own head that he was also just doing this as a raising of his profile, which would allow him to lose. and I'm not sure if in the end, I mean, he's not delusional. In the end, I'm not sure he thought this was a lock that he was going to win. So I could hear him saying to others, you know, this is a big publicity thing anyway, in his inner circle. So when, and if he did lose, he could say, I never intended on winning anyway. This is a win for us, because that's the kind of world I think that he lives in. Do you think there's any truth to that?
Starting point is 00:12:32 yeah i think that's a look i'm writing a book on them right now you can use that i know how i demand some royalties said that in casual conversation well we don't win look at our brand we're the most successful uh brand in the world now could have said that right but you don't on the night before the election get on a plane and go to michigan when your people have just told you the internal polling in that state shows you could win but you got to get there for a midnight rally, so he gets on plane and, come on. The guy, if you look at his schedule, his campaign schedule, it was twice as that of Hillary Clinton. He worked twice as hard as she did. So all of his stuff is what they call out of context. And in my research of the
Starting point is 00:13:25 Trump history book, 90% of the reportage on Donald Trump is out of the reportage on Donald Trump is out of context, where there may be a truth in a colonel, but they spin it into this big thing. And it's just so dishonest. Look, I'm not in business. The Trump book is not a pro-Trump book. There's stuff in there that people are going to go, whoa, I didn't know he did that. But if you want to be honest, and I do, this guy has not got a break from the media or the Democrat Party once, not once, since he's declared for the presidency.
Starting point is 00:14:09 I want to switch gears on topics here in just a second, Bill. But before we do, can you give us an outline of when the book is coming out? In September. In September. Do you have a title? I'm going to 2,000 words a day, Stu. I got about 40% of it done. Research is churning as it, but it'll be out in September. It'll be really interesting to read a book about Trump that doesn't come from the
Starting point is 00:14:30 I praise at the altar of Donald Trump. or the I can't stand Donald Trump, he's Satan viewpoint. There's never been one. Yeah, I don't think I've ever, I can't think of one. That's for sure. No, there isn't any. All right, and that's going out. And that's what makes this book a bear to write is because when I go into the research,
Starting point is 00:14:48 I can't count on it being true. Can I give you a fast story? Do we have to- Yeah, please. Yeah, you've got a couple minutes. Okay, this will, I think you'd be very interested in to hear this. So, remember that headline, Best Sex I ever had, Marla Maples? Yes, yes. One of the most famous headlines in American journalism history, right?
Starting point is 00:15:08 Mm-hmm. Okay. I tell you exactly where that came from. Really? Exactly. All right? But in order to do that, in order to get the person who is in the room, when that was given to the New York Post, I had to go through 15 different people.
Starting point is 00:15:29 I finally got her. I finally got the woman. Wow. All right? Who heard it? And the stories in the book. But it was unbelievable labyrinth. And the stuff that had been written about that headline was all a bunch of garbage.
Starting point is 00:15:49 But you'll read the truth in the book. Looking forward to it in September from Bill O'Reilly. Bill, we got about one more minute here. Can you give me a minute on North Korea, the breakup of the meeting, as well as Trump's comments on Otto Warmbier, which are getting some criticism. Okay. So Trump's negotiating style is to flatter the person. He wasn't even thinking of poor Otto and his family.
Starting point is 00:16:11 All right? Flatter, flatter, flatter, ingratiate yourself. They'll be more inclined to see my point of view. He does that 100% of the time in negotiations. Okay, number one. Number two, he underestimated the psychosis of Kim Jong-un. He's a psychotic. so he thought he could reason with the man.
Starting point is 00:16:32 The United States put forth a lot of things that would have helped North Korea and Un himself, and Un wouldn't move. Trump learned a lesson. They'll squeeze him with sanctions. Down the line, the Army will probably depose Un, and that's where we are. Does it make you uncomfortable hearing an American president flatter a person like Kim Jong-un? You know, maybe it would if it were anybody but Donald Trump, because I know. know what the guy is doing, he's always done it, and he wants the deal. It's the art of the deal. So if he has to say BS about somebody in a flattering way, he's going to say it.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Just the way he does business. Yeah, and he wrote about that in the art of a deal, art of the deal. I mean, he really... He's been very successful in that kind of a situation, but I feel bad for the Wormier family. Yeah. But I can tell you, wasn't even thinking about that. Yep. Yep. Okay, Bill O'Reilly from... Bill O'Reilly.com. You can be a subscriber there and get his commentary every day, as well as the book coming out in September on Donald Trump. We look forward to it. Bill, thanks so much for coming on today. All right, guys. Thanks.
