The substance. This balance is not working. And the naked gun. That was awesome. Now that's a mountain of entertainment. Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the latest edition of Looking Out for you. Let's get started.

President Trump is a very activist president. He believes in an overwhelming federal authority. The people who don't like him, particularly the progressive left movement, call him a fascist. They say he's abusing the Constitution. They say he's dangerous to the freedom of this country. And if you know history, there have been a few other presidents like this, Andrew Jackson. Teddy Roosevelt, not as bad as Jackson. When I use the word bad, I mean Jackson was a guy you did not mess with.

All right? He would hurt you. and he used federal power to do a number of things that were controversial. And the folks loved him. He was a populist like Trump, two terms. Teddy understood that the federal government had to get involved with certain situations, even if the Constitution was discouraging that. Okay, enough for the history left.

You can read my books if you really want to know specifics about it. So how we're going to frame this commentary tonight on YouTube is there's a poll by NPR, which I don't trust NPR, that says 47 percent of Americans do not support using federal troops or agents to go to local towns to protect people. They don't want it. 37% do want it. And it shakes down party-wise. Democrats don't.

Republicans do, but most independents don't. They're not on board. Now, my take on it is case-by-case. Right now, there are three cases. Actually, four, if you count, D.C., but D.C. is run by the federal government, so it's not a state versus Fed situation. And D.C. Trump's deployment of the National Guard and Federal Aides' work, driven crime way down, much safer city in a month. And that's beyond any reasonable doubt. Chicago is the big one. So over the past 10 years, going out longer, thousands of African Americans have been killed in the South Side by drug gangs. And the authority of Chicago can't stop it or won't stop it. So they're dead. They're in the cemetery. The families are devastated, and nothing is being done about it.

Now, Donald Trump is what they call law and order president. That's one of his pillars of power. I'm going to enforce the law. I don't buy any of this restorative justice stuff. I don't buy the left wing saying that, you know, crime and society's fault. It's not an individual's fault. Trump is a very basic guy on that level. Always has been, always has been a big law and order guy. So he says, look, I'm not going to allow thousands of people to be murdered while inefficient or incompetent people in Illinois in Chicago stand by and do nothing. I'm going to do something. That goes up against the Constitution because the Constitution clearly states that federal

Troops, National Guard, are not to be used for law enforcement. That is, a local and state concern. So Trump has to get around it, and he has gotten around it this way. He sends in ICE agents first to track down criminal aliens. When those ICE agents are threatened, as they are in many places, he says, I'm sending federal troops in to protect them, and in the case of Portland, Oregon, to protect federal property. That's how he gets around it. See? Okay. This has provoked outrage from a number of people on the left. Now, in Oregon, which is the most radical place in the country,

I believe, I think that's the most radical left state. Portland, Multnomah County, I worked there, It was crazy. Crazy left. And Antifa had a lot of members there in Portland. And they have, as you know, seen damaged federal property. Trump says, you know, not only is a sanctuary city Portland, sanctuary state, Oregon, but they're damaging federal property, and I'm going to stop it. My mom sending in a National Guard, about 300 of them, to Portland, and we're going to protect federal property and ICE agents. Now, the Attorney General of Oregon, Dan Rayfield, is suing Trump. To stop that, will it take. If you really want to public safety, you wouldn't threaten to send in the United States military into any city in the United

States. What you'd do is you'd pick up the phone and you would work towards collaboration and finding out what are the appropriate resources that any community needs. And I know for a fact in talking to cities across Oregon and, frankly, across this country, that if you picked up the phone and you ask, hey, what do you need? What could be helpful? It wouldn't be the United States military. That's for darn sure. Not quite because the city of Memphis is getting National Guard and they want it. So Mr. Rayfield, a leftist, is not quite accurate in his remarks. However, his idea is not a bad one, that perhaps before the action in L.A. or D.C. or Chicago or Portland, that maybe Secretary

of Homeland Security should have gone in there and been the big dog and pony show with the locals and said, look, we want to help. How can we help? Now, you know what the locals are going to say, we want money. Send money, money, money, money, money, money, money. And then they don't do anything with the money. We know what that is. But the debate, well, we're not going to send you money until you tell us what you're going to do. What are you going to do? What are you going to do, Governor Pritzker, to stop all the murders in Chicago. Tell me what you're going to do. Pritzker can't because he's not going to do anything. Oh, we're going to beef up a boy. Yeah, bull. Okay. You know how you do anything. You haven't done anything. By this time,

you're not going to do anything. Now, a guy named Moran Paul, who's the senator for Kentucky, He usually goes against Trump. Not on this one. Go. Portland did not step up and they let their city go, you know, they let it burn, for goodness sakes. And then they let a whole area become the city, you know, these blocks of anarchy where some sort of local thug rule was going on. So I don't know. I think ultimately what's going to happen. And I think some of this is the president showing the politics of Republicans versus Democrats is eventually cities like Chicago,

and Portland are going to give up on Democrats because their people are dying. No, Portland, Chicago are always going to be Democrat, in my opinion, humble opinion. But Portland is out of control. Chicago is out of control. Now, I'm going to play you one more soundbite. When you're in charge of anything, you have a responsibility to fix what isn't working. Listen to Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago. I get so sick and tired of people in this country and in this city that believes that the only thing that you can offer black people and poor people is jails, incarcerations, incarceration, and police officers.

Dr. King said this right here in Chicago, the National Conference on New Politics. What did he say? He said, militarism is a sickness. I am trying to eradicate the sickness from this city and from this country. Okay, that's out of context completely, but Johnson don't want to do anything. Oh, you know, all the cops in course or not, nah, no, no, no, no, I don't remember, he wants to sit social workers try to convince the drug gangs not to slaughter people in the streets. Yeah, that'll work. That'll work. Now, I don't want to be cynical about it, but these people are so incompetent, so out of touch, so ridiculous,

that my responsibility as a journalist, analyst, and historian, is to tell you the truth. Now, there are three of the times, big times, that presidents sent military into states to correct wrongs. 1871 U.S. grant sent the military to South Carolina to defeat, to break, to destroy the Ku Klux Klan. Soldiers marched right in. And they did. They arrested more than 600, and they killed countless numbers of the clan. Broke it until the turn of the 20th century. Okay.

Then in the 50s, President Eisenhower sent troops to Arkansas because the governor there would not obey federal law to integrate the high schools. The troops showed up and said, hey, the governor's name was. There's Orville Phobos, Orville, you're going to let the black kids in. All right? And they did. And then JFK did it twice. 1962 University of Mississippi, that she named Meredith.

Okay. And then in the next year, 63, they went down to Alabama because George Wallace wouldn't let him in. So 30,000 troops, Kennedy ordered in. 30, including paratroopers, showed up. Nobody had a problem. I mean, nobody constitutionally and the racist had a problem, but come on. And that's why Trump will win this.

So Oregon's suing them, Oregon will lose. They'll get somebody to block it. You know how the game goes. But there's precedence for this. And I have to say, particularly in Chicago and Portland, it's out of control. I don't know Memphis that well. And as I said, the governor of Tennessee Lee wants the troops in there to squelotsie drug gangs. But I probably do the same thing.

You want to save lives or not? Simple as that. So Adams is out of the race. I predicted it. It wasn't a hard prediction. We all knew the mayor was running out of money. And as I wrote on bill o'Reilly.com and my message of the day, if you know Eric Adams, you know he's not going to pay his campaign bills. So once the donated money is gone, he's gone. Okay. Now let's be fair to Eric Adams. He did. I would say a C job when you're going F to A, C. In the last year or so, crime got a little bit better because of Tish, the police commissioner,

reorganized. And there were some other minor improvements, but still the city's a mess. It really is a mess. And so New Yorkers wanted a change, obviously. Now, the change that is on the sheet when you go to vote November 4th is Adams, now he's out, Curtis Sliwa, the Republican, former Governor Cuomo, who nobody likes, and Zoharan, and Zoran, let me say his name correctly, please, ma'am Donnie, a communist. Okay. Now, here's a comment, isn't it? Look, you can say I'm exaggerating or I'm doing stuff politically, but it's not true. If you study ma'am Donnie, as I have, he's Fidel Castro light. What Castro did in Cuba in the late 1950s is what ma'am Donnie is doing now. He's promising the people who don't have much money that he will improve their lives, bring down. down costs and all of that. Well, the only way he could possibly do that would buy a massive expenditure, income redistribution, and that means he would have to take money away from

affluent New Yorkers and corporations and give the money to the people who are struggling. Now Castro, that was exactly what he promised, and he didn't do it because everybody's struggling in Cuba. Nobody prospered under the Castro brothers or even now. Cuba's a disaster economically. So Adams

posted an X situation where he said this, Roll it. Despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my re-election campaign. The constant media speculation about

my future and the campaign finance board's decision to withhold millions of dollars have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign. And the reason he didn't get the money is that he didn't poll high enough. He was polling below 10%. So here's what I said on September 4th. So I expect, and I predicted this, as you know, if you listen to this program, that Eric Adams will dropout and will endorse Cuomo and that will happen, I'd say, next two weeks. I miss it by a week,

but I knew. And again, it's not I'm a genius. It was obvious. Donald Trump weighed in and says that Mamdani is the best thing to happen to the Republican Party. And if he's elected and he's not going to get any federal money because he's a fake communist. Now, because he's a communist full of fake promises. Let me quote the president correctly. So he's not getting any federal money, which is not good for New York. Anyway, there you go. I'll have the latest polling. It should be out this week on the race now. I still think Mandani will be in the lead. but it'd be interesting to see if this Adam's resignation cuts it down a bit. It's an article I read today in Westchester real estate.

It's up 15% because people are afraid. Ma'am Donnie is going to be elected, so they're getting out. And if you want to move to Westchester, you'd better have some money because that is an expensive place. Same thing's happening in Nassau, particularly in Westchester. western Nassau County, where I live. Real estate value is going crazy. People are selling their properties in New York City and buying outside the city limits because they know what's coming if Mandami is elected. What's coming is communism. And the city council is worse than he is. So there's no bulwark. Hockel will have to do something, but Hockel is a very weak

governor as you know so mandani did one of the few interviews he doesn't go on any show that would challenge him you're never going to sit with me he's on cnn last night roll the tape this vision of a democratic of democratic socialism it's one that often comes back to what martin luther king said decades ago a vision of call it democracy or call it democratic socialism there must be a better distribution of wealth for all of god's children in this country be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children. Okay, it's not your money. Zoran, it's not your money. You want to distribute my money that I earned and take it away from me. That's what you want to do. That's communism. And, you know, you disguise it.

in this benign way, well, God's children and all that, well, God doesn't really like the communist philosophy because it's totalitarian and deprives people of private property and freedom. So the only way you can do what you say you want to do is to take wealth from those who have it, take it by force, and then give it to those that don't happen. That's what communism is. Now, how are you going to do that?

Well, taxation's number one. Taxes will go way, way up in New York City. And not just your paycheck. I estimate you'll lose between 10 and 18% in your paycheck if you're making decent money. But taxes on every service will go up. parking, Broadway tickets, whatever it may be. Oh, the city's going to, boom, boom, boom. They're going to take as much from the affluent as they can take.

They know that affluent people go to the theater, go to restaurants, have to park their cars in the city, whatever it may be. So wherever affluence is, they're going to slap taxes, a new city levies on everything. And get the money that way. He can't come in and take your stuff. Man, Donnie, can't do that yet, but that's what he wants to do. When you hear Bernie Sanders, another communist say,

oh, we need a wealth tax. A wealth tax is confiscation. That means you've already paid taxes on the money that you used to buy whatever you want to buy. Okay? Well, you have a possession. But Sanders believes that all your possessions should be the property, not of you, but of the federal government. If federal government wants to take a percentage of your possessions, that's what a wealth tax is.

20%, 30%, it can't. That's unconstitutional, by the way, and it would never get passed, but they're going to try to do it. In New York, it's a little bit more immediate than that. It's Mandani wins. He's going to have to generate money. The city owes more than $100 billion now. Can you imagine what this is going to be? And the people who have the money are going to go see you.

Bye. I'm leaving Westchester, Nassau, Palm Beach, Texas, Tennessee, and they're going to leave. And that means the tax receipts from income and investment are going to go. go down. A lot. So I'm just laying it out to you what this guy's all about. Distribution of wealth. He believes that he has the right to take your stuff. Zoran Mamdani, you know, the odds on favor to be the next mayor of New York City, has said now he wants a civilian police board to deal out discipline, not the police commissioner. Okay, so Zoran, let me break it to you.

If that's the case, if the police commissioner loses the power to discipline officers and it goes into the hands of civilians, you're not going to have many police officers. They will all quit because that's insane, as our most of your policies. So my opinion, which is an educated one, is that if this man, Mandani is elected mayor, the body count in New York City will rise dramatically. A lot of death, a lot of murder, a lot of rapes, a lot of bad, bad things will almost immediately surge because Mandami thinks the cops are racist, wants to cut a billion dollars. out of the police budget and doesn't really want to prosecute criminals.

Let's let them out. So, cause and effect, right? So that's number one, anybody living in New York City, your life is going to change if this man becomes mayor. It will be a dangerous, dark city. Garbage pickup, forget it. Rats everywhere, you bet. dingy, horrifying behavior as the kids walk to school, count on it.

And then the fiscal calamity is, you know, I estimate a half million New Yorkers who pay taxes. Affluent people, working people, will leave the city in four years if Mandami is elected. But this New York police thing, because the cops are, as everybody knows, is the last line of defense. They cannot prevent crime in the current climate in New York. They used to be able to do it by stopping fresh, but they knocked that out. And now, heavily patrolled areas, you can prevent crime. But cops are usually reactive. After you get punched in the mouth, maybe they'll respond.

Maybe. Okay, you call 911. You don't know. And it's not a knock on the cops, but they're 10,000 light. New York City Police floor is 10,000 down from where it should be. Mine. That's an army. And then with this crazy stuff, yeah, yeah, we're going to put you, Officer Krumke from Westside Story, in front of a civilian board that hates you.

That hates you, hates your guts. That's who's going to make a decision about your future if you ever get into a controversy. You think any sane cop is going to do that? No, they're going to get other jobs, they're going to retire, whatever it may be. And then how are you going to replace them? With whom? You're already 10,000 down. This is a catastrophe in the making.

And, I mean, unlike Cuba and Mandami models his presentation on Fidel Castro, almost word for word. But unlike Cuba, where there wasn't really a warning because Batista was so corrupt in the 1950s that the people there had had enough and they wanted any, you know, Castro, yeah, he promises he's going to do X, Y, and Z. But now people like me are warning the voters in New York. I don't live in the city. I live just outside the city. Okay. I'm warning you if you vote for this man.

what is going to happen it's going to happen to you okay the odds are that you're going to pay an enormous amount in taxes more than you do now and you better watch your back on on a street the city of new york as it stands today october 2nd owes a hundred and eight billion $108 billion. That's how deep New York City is in debt. The feds pump $10 billion a year into New York for various grants. In addition, the feds had promised $18 billion to the city to build a tunnel under the Hudson River for Amtrak. President Trump has suspended the $18 billion because he doesn't want to give it to a city

that is this out of control. He's citing DEI, but it's really about Manned Donnie. And Trump has said that. You're not getting federal money. You've got a communist running a show in there. Okay. So that's the picture. of fiscal health in New York City.

It's troubling. Now, the city could well go bankrupt. The last bankruptcy, big one, was Puerto Rico, 2017. But in the past, Detroit, Stockton, California, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Jefferson County, Alabama, all have gone bankrupt. So they had to say, can't pay our debts. So everybody who bought a bond, a New York City bond, or invested in New York City infrastructure, you're screwed. Could happen.

Absolutely, because Mandami is going to come in and spend so much money giving stuff to his constituency, and he's going to tax taxes will go up on everything. Every sports ticket you buy, tolls are already going up, they'll go up more, parking, anything that an affluent person would do is going to be taxed more. And the city can just do that. Remember, New York City is one of the few places that has its own income tax. We have a state income tax and a federal income tax, but New York City has another income tax. So you live in a paying three. And that can go up, but it's going to be levies on everything. And then people are going to move out.

The big people, the wealthy people, corporations that are paying a lot of taxes, got it. I estimate $500,000 in four years we'll leave. So this is just a recipe for absolute financial chaos. I'm not even talking about the safety issue. I mean, you know about that. Cops are going to flee. They're retiring. They're going to get jobs elsewhere.

The city's not going to be able to replace those police officers. They're already down 10,000. Mandami is soft on crime. He doesn't want to put people in prison, even violent people. And you're just looking at, No. Safety net here at all for the city. So that's pretty dire, I would say, right? And if you do present any of these facts to people who say they're going to vote for Mandami, they don't care. Why? Why don't they care about their own city? You're not going to get garbage pickup. Rats will be everywhere. It's going to really be a horror show. So why don't they care? They want to blow up everything. These are people who have given up.

They don't believe they can compete. They believe that the system is unfair. It's racist, whatever it may be. And they want to blow it up? And Mandami will help them do that. I guess they figure when you blow it up and collapse it all, then you can start over again. But that's not going to happen.

What's going to happen is just a massive amount of personal pain for people who live in New York City. I don't think there's anybody going to escape it, even the Park Avenue swells with the doorman. I mean, they're going to get hammered every time they walk out on a street. You're going to have a doorman file you around everywhere? You know what the danger level is going to be? I mean, this is a catastrophe that's forming now. This is like Dinkins, the crack wars. My God. I hate to be repetitive, but, you know, this is coming up November 4th, about a month.

And I don't see it. I don't see, you know, Cuomo's running spots, but nobody likes him. And Curtis is going to stay in, it looks like. So my job to tell you the truth, and I just did. Bad Bunny, malevolent rabbit. Going to do the Super Bowl show. February 8th, okay? And it's in California, Santa Clara,

home in San Francisco 49ers. The Bunny guy has been selected to be the halftime entertainment. I don't care. I don't. But it's such a good story. And I'm going to walk you through the story. Okay. And if you'd like to comment on it, you reach me a bill at

Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. So who is Bad Bunny? He's Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio. He's a Puerto Rican, 31 years old. Three-time Grammy winner. He's kind of, you know, well, I'll play a cut from him in a minute. He's been around a while.

In 2020, he was in a Super Bowl show with Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, and he's very popular among a certain crew in the music world. Doesn't sing songs in English. Never had an English song, but he does speak English. So how did Bad Bunny get the gig? Because it's a big. You know, it'll give him millions of millions of dollars worth of publicity. Well, he got it because Jay-Z, a hip-hop impresario, and head of Rock Nation, which is a group, a talent group, he works for the NFL, Jay-Z, and he books all the NFL's entertainment.

Now, Jay-Z, people know him, very wealthy man. He's married to Beyonce. And he's a guy that picks the halftime entertainment and the NFL. Roger Goodell, the commission, they go, okay, buddy it is. So you remember last year was Kendrick Lamar, a rapper. Then it was Usher, Usher's okay, in 24. Rihanna, 23, M&M, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar again, 22, the weekend, 21, weekend's pretty good. And then Jennifer Lopez is here in 20.

So, Jay-Z is the guy, if you want to blame anybody for Bad Bunny, it's him. Now, this is a big cultural event. It goes worldwide. Everybody knows that. And is this good for America? Bad Bunny. I don't think it's bad for America. I mean, most people watching aren't going to be that favorable to the bunny guy, but I don't know if it's a deficit.

But here's some interesting things. He doesn't tour in the United States because he feels frightened. So he issued this statement. This is Bad Bunny, September 11th, this year. Quote, people from the U.S. could come to Puerto Rico to see my show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here or any part of the world. But there was an issue with ICE. Could be outside my concert venue.

And it's something we were talking about and very concerned about. So Bad Bunny won't come to the U.S. to do shows because he's afraid ICE is going to grab them. But Bad Bunny is a citizen of Puerto Rico. which is an American territory why would I just grab them how can they grab them unless bad bunny isn't an actual Puerto Rican but I think he is so the bunny guy is afraid to come here okay I'm laughing because this is so ridiculous I can't believe it all right so that's a little political right but the bunny says he doesn't know much about politics roll a tape and then a couple weeks later you know a big

story coming out of the election was the move of many Latino voters to the right like how did you reconcile those two things in your head when you see the results oh I don't know I don't know what to say I don't know what to believe I don't know anything I just know that there's always be people that going to protect and defend our country and our culture. And that's the people that I want to have around me. Okay. At least he's honest, right? I like the bunny being honest.

I don't know anything. I could reassure you, BB, a little nickname I'm giving them. You can tour in the United States, ICE is not going to bother you. And if they bother you, I'll help you. I'll actually go wherever you are. You call me or become a concierge member of Bill O'Reilly.com and I'll actually go where you are and tell ICE to knock it off, but they're not going to bother you. You don't have to worry about that.

You can tour the United States, make tons of money, particularly after you do the Super Bowl show, because everybody will see you and maybe they want to hear what you're putting out there. If I were the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, who I know pretty well, he's a good guy, I like him, who would I have selected for the Super Bowl show? I have two different scenarios here. The first one is Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Now, McCartney did a Super Bowl show in the past, but if you put those two guys, they're both in their 80s now, and it's the last roundup.

Cardney's actually on tour, but you put them on singing Beatles songs, okay, no wings, but you do, you know, Super Bowl show is about 15 minutes long. You put those two guys on, sing Beatles songs, that's good. That to get eyeballs everywhere, right? McCartney and Starr together, Beatles' songs, halftime Super Bowl show. The second one is Taylor Swift. She's the most successful artist, musical artists in the world. Why wouldn't you put it on?

She's way better than Jennifer Lopez. Okay, come on. And she can get up there in the outfits. And, yeah, I know. She's not as a boyfriend is the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end. But that doesn't have any to do with it. It's an attraction. It's entertainment.

People would watch her. She was very nice to my daughter when we met her on Long Island years ago, Taylor Swift. And that would be big. Why not, Jay-Z? What are you doing here? You got Starr McCartney, you got Taylor Swift, much bigger and I would say more compelling than the guy doesn't record any songs in English. Bad Bunny. So those are my picks, right?

finally uh i didn't watch the i don't watch the rap stuff uh so i didn't see kendrick last year or any of that um but the best super bowl show i ever saw was in miami prince and i don't even like prince okay little red corvette and all that he's okay i like shila e his drummer But I didn't even like Prince. You know, his songs were, all right, 1999, okay. But he was phenomenal. What a showman. What a showman.

And I sat there, and I give everybody a chance. I'm going to give Bad Bunny a chance. Bad Bunny's got like three and a half minutes with me. If he rest my attention, I'll watch the rest. If he does, and I'm gone. But Prince is the best I've ever said. He was so charismatic. He's doing such a great show.

So there is my Super Bowl halftime analysis. I hope you enjoyed it. Disagree. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Keep it clean. Okay, you can write it in Spanish. I speak a little Espaniel.

Um, and a bad bunny. Again, you come to the USA. Anybody hassles you. You let me know. Thank you for listening to Looking Out for you. Remember to subscribe to my podcast feed. Also consider becoming a Bill O'Reilly.com premium member. It will enhance your life.
