I got to tell you, it was so convoluted and all over the place that I'm sitting there and I go, maybe it's me, but I didn't learn one thing, nothing from that interview, and I think the interview ran more than an hour, didn't run that long on TV, but the transcript, you know, there's a lot of stuff that they didn't air. And I'm going, what, what's going on? So it's my job to tell you what's going on, and I will. And I'm not trying to be petty or criticized Noro O'Donnell, the CBS correspondent. I don't want to do that. But I got to be honest. I mean, I'm looking, I'm watching, it's my time, and I'm trying to learn something, and I'm not learning. Now, if you disagree, if you did learn something, I will read your letter tomorrow.

Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, name in town, as always, but Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Could be me, been in the business 50 years, or maybe I'm just way out of touch with, you know, the regular discourse. So the interview is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. I picked out, I'm with five or six short soundbite, short 30 seconds or so,

because I just, the repetition was numbing. It was numbing. And again, I'm not trying to blame anybody here. I'm going to explain what was happening that Donald Trump goes into an interview. And you got to pin him now with specifics. You got to hit him with stuff he's not expecting. Not because you want to gotcha him. All right.

It's because you're not going to get anything if you ask predictable questions. And he gives predictable answers that he's given a hundred times. before he's got all that in and he anticipated there wasn't going to be anything out of the usual okay it was obvious from the very beginning so the government shut down and there's some news today that the feds will start to fund the food stamps shortly specifics not been released but that money is going to start to flow and it should and I'll tell you why in a little while Not to everybody, a lot of fraud in that, but there's a lot of need in that too.

Okay, so we got to be very careful here. But anyway, the shutdown was obviously in place, it's breaking news. Here's what happened. Here's what I can't do. I can't give them a trillion and a half dollars so that they can give welfare to people that came into our country illegally. So that prisoners and that people from mental institutions and people that our drug dealers get vast amounts of money for health care. That I can't do.

What I can do is I can continue to run a great country. We have the best economy we've ever had. All right. So there is some truth to what the president is saying, and I don't care if Chuck Schumer lies all day long. There is money rooted in Democratic states through Medicaid to illegal aliens. All you got to do is look at the budget for the state of Oregon. It's there, right, black and white.

$1.5 million earmarked for undocumented people through Medicaid. That's tax money, that's federal tax money given Oregon by the feds. The Trump is right about that. But overall, it's a complicated situation. But the Republican Party is never going to get. give the Democratic Party a carte blanche to keep rising the costs of Obamacare. And, you know, I wrote a column on bill o'Reilly.com. It's got all the stats.

How when Obamacare was passed, here was the number the congressional budget office said was going to happen. It's way more than that with no end in sight. No, it's going to bankrupt the nation, continue to do this. Publicists are never going to do it. And the Democrats knew that, but tried to ram it through anyway, knowing the government was going to shut down. So Trump is holding firm. There's going to have to be some kind of accommodation made.

I don't know what it is, but I'm still confident that will happen. But I'm going to tell you at the end of the program, I've got to fly this week. I'm not confident that plane is going to get off the ground. All right, the second one was about high prices. Now, this is the most important thing for the Trump administration right now because they have to hold next year in the midterms Congress rule of the table. I inherited the worst inflation in history of our country. We don't have inflation.

We're down to 2% even less than 2%. A couple of items like beef, I'm getting down. But our groceries are down. Health care premiums? I can fix health care. Give them better health care for less money. Obamacare is hurting people. Obamacare was a disaster from day one.

I can fix it and make it good. I'd really rather start with a fresh plate, but if it's required to keep it, we can make it much better. That's a good answer, okay? Because if fiscally, Obama care is out of control. Not that the Democrats care about that. They don't care because they want the government to run health care.

That's the goal. Yes, bankrupt Obamacare. Bankrupt it. And then the feds will have to take over the whole system. You know what that will lead to, and I'll get into this tomorrow. That will lead to a two-tier health care system in America because doctors will just get out and go into concierge treatments. So the wealthy people, the affluent people, will have their private doctor.

They'll pay more for it. And everybody else will be left with physician's assistants and RNs and all of this. Because most of the doctors, they're gone. They're not going to do this. Government-run stuff. It happened in England. If you're wealthy, you're not in a public health system in Great Britain. You're not.

You hired your own doctor. That's exactly what will happen here. that the poor working and the working people get much less in the medical area if the government runs everything. All right. All right. The third one was the most controversial story right now about undocumented migrants and how ICE is tracking them down. Go. Is it your intent to deport people who do not have a criminal record?

We have to start off with a policy. the policy has to be you came into the country illegally, you're going to go out. However, you've also seen you're going to go out, we're going to work with you, and you're going to come back into our country legally, because we have a lot of good people. And we've accepted all of these people because of Biden's open border policy where people would walk in totally unchecked and unvetted, murderers and everybody else. When will you declare mission accomplished on immigration? Well, it takes a long time because, you know, probably I say,

25 million people were led into our country. I'd say 15. But as the president said later on, it doesn't really matter 15, 25. The worst public policy ever in this country was the open border, totally engineered by one man that was President Biden. Can I be any more clear than that? what a dereliction of duty what oh all right some advice for the trump administration here from your humble correspondent a heavy hand when you're not sure of criminality so there's an ice rate you're not sure who you've got. A heavy hand is not what you want. You've got to protect yourself.

Criminal alien, you know, it's a person, then you go. But if it's some woman or a child or something like that who just happens to be in the vicinity lighter touch. Supreme Court and tariffs. Huge story for all of us because it will affect the American economy. Voltaic. What happens to your economic plan if the Supreme Court invalidates your tariffs?

I think our country would be immeasurably hurt. I think our economy will go to hell. Look, because of tariffs, we have the highest stock market we've ever had. Because of tariffs, 401Ks at the highest level, and this is millions and millions of people that we've ever had 401 case. I think it's the most important subject discussed

by the Supreme Court in a hundred years. Maybe because if the Supreme Court were to rule that the President of the United States has not of the power to impose tariffs without congressional approval, stock market could get down 5,000 points in one day. Let's face it, the U.S. economy 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.

It almost has to, because just what Donald Trump said, you will blow up the whole system. That's how reliant we are now on this new trade situation. Okay.

Finally, China, which you know, I am deeply involved with this. Here, Nora O'Donnell, this was good. So most of her questions were predictable, not backed up by

facts. She didn't seem to have command of both sides of the story. She's taking a liberal line. And Ms. O'Donnell is a liberal as I wrote in a message of the day on bill o'Reilly.com. But that's okay. She's not a bad person. She's not corrupt. I know her.

She's not. There's some of them that are horrible. But she's liberal, and she takes that line. But here, she has a very good question about China. Go. Our own intelligence agencies say the Chinese have infiltrated parts of the American power grid and their water systems. They steal American intellectual property and Americans' personal information.

They bought American foreign. How big of a threat is China? It's like everybody else. We're a threat to them too. Many of the things that you say we do to them. Look, this is a very competitive world, especially when it comes to China and the US. And we're always watching them and they're always watching us. In the meantime, I think we get along very well.

And I think we can be bigger, better, and stronger by working with them as opposed to just knocking them out. Good. That's exactly the way I feel. And you've got to get along with these people. All right, summing up, number one, was that a fair assessment of the 60-minute interview? If I'm unfair, I want you to tell me, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. All right?

To me, I didn't learn anything. So, I'm sitting there going, come on. And I'm hoping that I can secure an interview with President Trump before the end of the year. That's my goal. He knows that we would like it. We were supposed to do it. But then he got the Hamas stuff going on and had to go over with the hostages. Now, if I get it, I'm going to really be under pressure, right?

so but boy it'll be interesting and that's the memo joining us now from the city Miranda Devine column is from the New York Post the post post has been 100% against Mamdani from the very beginning miss Devine has a very popular podcast podforce one she interviewed a lot of the Trump administration including the president himself All right, so look, it's all established that you and your newspaper and you hate Mamdani, you don't want him, he's destructive, and all of that. There's an all adage that says you hope for the best, but you plan for the worst. You live in New York City, Miranda.

Have you made any plans or adjustments of what you might do in your life? Should Mamadani become the mayor? Not really. I mean, we've lived through de Blasio when the city, visibly went downhill very quickly. And then, of course, the pandemic when it became like the night of the living dead with a whole lot of zombie drug affected mentally ill people wandering the streets and a whole lot of inmates released from Rikers Island.

And then, of course, we had a whole bunch of illegal migrants placed in hotels all around Midtown. So it's been, you know, pretty willing for the last, well, almost since I. I arrived here back in early 2019. So I think that we're expecting if Mamdani wins, that things will go south slowly. I mean, already the NYPD is a shadow of its former self. You can just tell from the fact that there are so many women, so many small police officers who just stand around reading their phones.

Now, Jessica Tish, who's the very good NYPD commissioner after a series of upheavals, Mamdani was forced into saying that he would probably keep her on, which is one bright spot. She's not going to stay. Well, he knows that she's going to be his foe in the next election. So I don't think he's going to want to keep her on anyway, so I'm sure he'll make life miserable for her.

And, you know, that's the last piece of good news that we have about keeping the NYPD together. And I must say under Eric Adams, things started to look up on the crime front. But, you know, Mamjani is on record. He's pretending now that he didn't really mean it or he's changed his mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, we know that he doesn't want to prosecute criminals because he believes society is at fault, not them. But you say you haven't made any plans or thought about. So I have family members who live in New York City. And I said, look, if this guy comes in within six months, you're going to have a frightening rise of street crime because the people committing the street crime aren't even going to be arrested.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 911 system collapses because there's not enough police now. and the police that are going to stay, many of them will leave, are going to be reactive. They're not going to be aggressive. They're not going to be running out there as fast as they can run out there because he's going to have civilian review boards that are anti-police. And if a cop makes a mistake, all right, defends himself or herself.

He's right in front of the board. And you can sue the cops if you're a thug or anybody. Who's going to do that? No one. So I'm telling my family members, look, you're going to go out at night. You're going to have to go out three or four. You can't go out by yourself. That's number one that's going to happen.

Number two, the garbage isn't going to be picked up. Union people are just going to go, you know, every bit of efficiency, and the city is not efficient, okay, is going to go down because this 34-year-old, he doesn't have organizational capacity to keep it up. It's the largest city in the country, eight and a half million people, all right? And you know it's going to get it worse, the poor. The people who are voting for Mandani are going to get it the worst. They're not actually voting for him. They're voting for Cuomo. Well, you're going to see, though. And young people who are voting for Mamdani. And the majority of York doesn't want. You're going to see immigrants, people born overseas, he's now 50% of the New York City electorate vote for Mandani.

You'll see any exit polling. Okay, they're going to get a board. One million Muslims will, yes, because he's gone out by that vote. As a New York Post columnist, and your beat is the city, do you believe that the people voting for Mamdani are stupid? No, I'll tell you the way I see it. First of all, he's got the Muslim vote locked up because he's appealed to them specifically on identity grounds.

He's gone to, you know, mosques and cuddled up with this radical imam who gave character testimony to the blind sheikh, who was the mastermind of the first World Trade Center bombing. He's made no, he's not even bothered hiding his affinity with radical Islam. So that's number one. And then you've got young people. And, I mean, in a way, I can forgive them for their stupidity because, you know, they haven't been taught in history.

They haven't read your books. They haven't, they've gone to university and been brainwashed. And not only that, as Democrat voters, they have been betrayed. And I don't really blame them for being angry. They look at Washington, D.C. They were lied to about Joe Biden. They see a gerontocracy has taken over their party. establishment. And so it's just natural for them to feel they've been priced out. They have

this pied piper, Mamdani comes along and says to them, you know, sort of taps into their grievance about the party and says, follow me and I will make your life affordable. And he makes these airy promises. There's no way he can fulfill any of them. But they're angry with the establishment. So they're going to go with a generational part. And then you, you've got just the crazy, rich, liberal elite, including a lot of Jews, which, as someone said, is like chickens voting for KFC. But they, you know, are going to vote. The polls show, we've seen interviews with them. I've talked to them. They love Mamdani. And they see him as sort of the antidote to Donald Trump and a reinvigoration of the Democratic Party in the way of the future.

Do you see, and that's a very good analysis you just gave the rest of the nation that doesn't live here, do you see an anti-Trump vote in the New York mayoral situation? Yes, certainly in that liberal boomer demographic, the wealthy elites. You know, Trump derangement is very strong here in New York. And there's a big cohort of conservative voters. and Donald Trump increased his vote last election. And, I mean, every county has turned a little red. And to the point where Elise Stefarnik,

who seems to be running for governor, she may have a chance where Lee Zeldon did not. But still, the majority, I mean, Manhattan or New York City is something like 70% plus Democrat voters. And I would say, you know, and more than half of those are trumped deranged. Yeah, and the younger ones, of course. All right, Miranda, thank you very much.

Nice segment. We appreciate you taking a time. I hope we can talk again soon. Thanks, Bill. Okay. As Miranda reference, the shooting victims in New York City, that's really the crime stat you want to zero in on because the other crime stats are bogus that they're giving you.

But victim is a victim. If you're a shot, that gets recorded. So they're down. pretty big in New York. And the reason they are is because Commissioner Tish, who I don't believe is going to continue if Mandani is the new mayor, has reorganized the violent neighborhood patrolling. So you flood the zone, all right? That's what Trump did in D.C. with the Guard and the U.S. Marshals and the FBI.

There are just certain neighborhoods where all the violence takes place. where you just flood the zone with law enforcement, and boom, the victims are going to go down. Chicago can't figure that out, doesn't care, all right, and that's why you don't have much relief there. But in New York City, crime victims are down this year, fairly big. All right, move to the nation. Again, what happens today, and we will have our analysis tomorrow, is not going to influence the midterms. you know what's better than the one big thing two big things exactly the new iPhone 17 pro on tellus's five year rate plan price lock yep it's the most powerful iPhone ever plus more peace of mind with

First question when it comes, which comes closest to your view, I'm proud to be an American. 64%. Shame to be an American, 36, a high number. I think Trump drives that a little bit on the left.

Would you say the following are better or worse than they were five years ago? Political polarization, better, 16, about the same 26, worse 59. It is obviously worse than it was. Okay. Five years ago, I don't know, but it's worse. Quality of life in America is better now. 24, about the same 23. Worse, 54. That is high prices.

Okay? My local deli raise their price again. They want 14 bucks for a ham and cheese sandwich. Not going to do it. I'll make my own ham and cheese sandwich. I can afford 18 ham and cheese sandwiches, but that's, I'm not going to do it. 14 bucks, maybe four slices a ham and some monster cheese and mustard on a roll.

Come on. And if everybody are like me, then the prices have to come down. Final question, state of the world. Okay, better 20%. About the same 18, worse 62. So kind of a grim poll.

All right. Chicago is worse than New York, but I think New York will get worse. than Chicago, if Mandani wins tomorrow. So there is a suburb called Oak Park. Now listen to this. Halloween night, 500 young people, teenagers gather for a

not a riot. They call it a teen takeover. So the cops here shots. You know, it's kind of predictable. There's no racial element here, by the way. It's a mixed crew. All races.

And they're running down, they run a while, and nobody does anything. There was not one arrest, not one. And you don't think the people in Oak Park were afraid as 500 people, young people. Obviously, a couple have guns, at least. This is Chicago, Cook County. Government shut down. Okay, so day 34.

total delays over the weekend of airliners, almost 17,000 delays, coast to coast, almost 1,000 cancellations. I got to fly to L.A. on Wednesday. I may be hitchhiking. If you see me, pick me up. I'm hitchhiking west. It's bad. It's bad.

Now, I'd appeal to the air traffic controls just for safety. Show up. You'll get your money. You're going to get your money, because this thing will get solved. It's frustrating for everybody. But show up. You know, don't call it sick, and don't do that. Because it's, you know, you don't want to paralyze the entire nation

and put people in physical jeopardy. It's an appeal. Government is stealing from you. How about this? this is incredible there are five cities that have set up secret cameras and dropped speed limits within the city limits so low you can't go that slow they are Washington DC New York City Chicago Philadelphia and San Francisco okay the biggest cities in the country not Los Angeles So here's a scam. In the city limits of New York City, I live here, and D.C., because I saw it first stand in D.C.,

it dropped the speed limit to 20 or 25 miles an hour. You go faster on a bike, all right? So if you don't live in a city, say you're coming from the suburb. You don't know that. So you're there, and you're going 40 maybe, because that's doing. Boom. you get put on a camera, you get a ticket in the mail, could be a hundred, 150 more. Losing of revenue.

Philadelphia, in two years, collected $23 million doing this scam. New York City, two years, $22 million in fines, New York City, stealing money from you and me. All right? Chicago, almost 100 million tickets given out in 2024 last year. A hundred million. So this is what it is. These cities all run big deficits because their finances are out of control. And now they go, how can we take money away from law-abiding people?

I mean, these are people that are speeding. People are going maybe eight miles an hour over the 25. you doing 33, 34, they're going to get you. Horrible. Smart life. New study, Calagon. They sell chairs or something. But what they came up with surveying more than a thousand Americans was that the average American,

I'm sorry, a third, one third of the American population, adult population, sits for more than eight hours a day. So, if you add it up, if you're sitting for more than eight hours a day, and then you sleep seven hours or eight, that's 15 hours, you're on your butt, okay? This is how you die young. That's how you die young. No mobility. You got the human body, you've got to use it.

And you're sitting there and then eating chips and drinking the soda, it's like, just put a little sign on your get a switcher it says i want to die right you got to get up get out move it you don't have to be a fanatic i mean i can't go to the gym for example i don't have to go to the gym and if i went there you know there'd be pandemonian it um and i'd be they'd be shooting me on a video and i all that. So, but I, if I can walk it, I walk it. Okay. Because I know I'm sitting on my butt way too much because I have to do all of this work, which requires me to be seated. Media madness. So this might not seem like a big deal, but it is. Um, cliches have taken over the media, it drive me nuts. Last year, here are the big three. End of the day, deep

dive and full stop how many times you hear these morons on the newscast say this stupid stuff you know what the cliche is now by the way go we're standard of cotton by the way did not by the way steps step outside which is by the way an embarrassment to the country by the way no longer a prince which by the way while americans suffer and tsa workers by the way continue working without Hey. Now, why do you care? Why do I care? Because if you're using cliches, you're not thinking. You're reciting. And that's what 90%, nah, 80% of them do, these news people. They recite. They got stuff rehearsed. Did I think? I'm trying to communicate with you. And by the way, by the way, by the way, oh, geez.

Texas Governor Abbott, Greg Abbott, 67 years old, presides over a very interesting state. I live there for two years in Dallas. And he says that if you are a New Yorker and you move down to Texas, he's going to charge you a tariff. He doesn't say how he's going to do that. And it's unconstitutional governor. Sorry to break it to you, but you can't do it. So if I want to move to Texas or Wyoming or Alaska, nobody can find me for doing that. You can't. I have freedom of movement in this country.

But this is a political play by Abbott. he writes on X, that I'll impose 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from New York City. The post says 23 million views. So he's getting what he wants attention. But again, not going to happen. Blue collar workers. This is a Pew poll. Pew is pretty good.

5,000 blue collars. 5,000. Wow. The finding is that blue collar workers in the USA are less satisfied with their jobs than white collar workers. All right. It's probably because they're not making as much money, generally speaking. Do you think of your current job as blue collar as a career? 33%.

Yes, it's a career. I just had an electrician in today, good guy. All right? It's his career, and he's good. comes in, he fixes the stuff, and he makes a good buck. Stepping son will create. That means you're doing a blue-collar job until a white-collar job comes in. 12, job just gets you by 54.

That's a big number. Should like your work. Job satisfaction, blue-collar workers extremely are satisfied. 43, somewhat, 42, not 2, 15. That's a pretty encouraging number. So it's a lot easier to be a blue-collar worker making a job. decent living and paying $350,000 to go to a college that's going to try to indoctrinate you to be a socialist. But I still think the college experience is worth it. Smart life. The average

American has four close friends. This comes from Talker Research, survey of 2,000 Americans. And that shrinks by one friend every year. Wow. So 70% of the respondents say maintaining a large friend network is harder with age. Not for me. I try, I put in the effort. I answer texts and emails. If you don't answer your texts and emails from people that are your friends or strong acquaintances, you're insulting them. If you ignore that, you're exulting them. Just know that. That's when friendships blow up.

When somebody texts you and you just don't reply, that'll do it. Anyway, top reasons that people don't have a lot of friends, geographical distance, but come on, you've got to be somewhere, can make friends. life transitions political stuff I don't do that

but I know a lot of people get furious with their opposition they don't want to be friends of them anymore lack of time 25 you know now with the cell phones those texting things that's not a good excuse anymore and that's why so friendship is very important

very important you really need people who are going to give you an honest appraisal when you talk to them are going to be loyal to you have your back as the cliche and a lot of people don't value that you know there's a big difference between the east coast and the west coast on this so boss in new york philly you know guy around bill o'reilly dot com i went to first grade with and my trusted friends are the ones that I grew up with in college and high school and you know I have a lot of media friends too

but we on the East Coast more invested in that than the West Coast because a lot of people have moved to the West Coast they don't have the roots that's the reason but friends are important smart life. 30% of Americans, a mostly blue collar, consult with astrologists,

tarot cards, and fortune tellers. About 10,000 adults, Pew Research. Okay. So you got to pay money to have your palm red or the cards, the astrology. I don't know. I've never in a million years, done that. Now, at one time, a friend of mine brought over some mystic guy who would see the future

or whatever. I just sat there. I didn't pay him anything. And it was wrong. I mean, you know, I don't believe in it. But 30% of Americans do. Gender gap, mostly women go in for this. men are too busy betting on sports. And if men could get the astrologist or a tarot, a court person telling who's going to win the game, that would surge. Maldives, you know where that is? Maldives, just south of India.

Beautiful, beautiful place. I have not been, but my friends send me pictures. One of the most expensive places on Earth. They'll bring a lot of money. if you go to the Maldives. They have banned all smoking and tobacco products for anyone 19 years or younger. But you are not allowed to use tobacco on the Maldives, first time anywhere that this has happened. I'd like to go to the Maldives, population 530,000, bunch of islands all over the place. But again, exorbitantly expensive to go there.

all right final thought uh as you know i will be off tomorrow uh in california doing the mar show on hbo that will be friday night 10 p.m um HBO real time at bill marma i'll be on there i've been on there a long time um interesting to see they'll be on the howie mandel's podcast i think howie's hysterical myself. That'll be Tuesday. Also Tuesday, November 11th, 10 p.m. News Nation, a special on American generals for Veterans Day. The best and they're not so good. Here's a clip. Would the guy who showed up as a plea thinking he was the reincarnation of Alexander the Great be happy with this statue? Yes. Patton did have a have a sense. of the dramatic past and believed in reincarnation

and felt that he was some sense of a historic military figure. He wanted to go down in history, and he has, as the ultimate fighting man, the ultimate brave vanquisher of evil. And it occurred to me how very fortunate you are. We crushed the Germans before he got here. Dane, flamboyant, but he was. is committed to his troops, and he's going to make sure that American soldiers know they can win

and have the confidence to do that. But for all his bravado and brilliance, fighting first through North Africa, then Sicily, Patton was equally bad at the political and diplomatic aspects of military leadership. You said Patton, as audacious and tactfully brilliant as he might be, is too unpredictable to be given command of all American ground forces. Right. It was an opinion shared by Patton's boss, Supreme Allied commander, Ike Eisenhower. Eisenhower knows he needs Patton, but he also knows that Patton's totally out of his blank in mind on Thursday and Sunday. Okay, it depends on the day of the week. He's also got Omar Bradley, who Eisenhower really likes, because Bradley was just like him.

So we run down Patton and Pershing World War I, Custer. Civil War generals, modern-day generals, and we rank them. Who's good? Who's bad? And it's a fascinating, fascinating documentary. Again, that will be Tuesday, November 11th, News Nation, 10 p.m. You're going to like it. A lot of it.

And I'm going to tell you the best American general in history was. You'll be surprised. And it's not Eisenhower because he never fought in the battle. Supreme Allied Commander never fought on the battlefield. Anyway, we thank you for watching and listening to this post-election edition of the NoSpin News. Again, I think it's the best analysis, but you let me know. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com name in town. We will see you on Monday, brand new column on Sunday.
