But tonight I want to talk about Tom Hanks, the actor, and Donald Trump. So, West Point, one of the most prestigious institutions in the world,

Goes all the way back to the Revolutionary War. Great history. They decided to honor Tom Hanks with the Sylvanus Thayer Award on September 25th. Why? Well, Hanks has been a big military supporter. Okay, movie Forrest Gump, saving Private Ryan. He has done a lot of charity work. Produced Band of Brothers, one of the most excellent military shows.

of all time, served as a national spokesperson for the World War II Memorial, led fundraising for the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial. So Hanks has done a lot for the U.S. military, so he was supposed to be honored. The problem is that Tom Hanks is an avowed liberal, okay? And he's called Donald Trump unfit for office, a gas bag. He's used. He's used. usual stuff that the Hollywood people engage it. Trump is a very, I'm sorry, Hanks is a very solid player in the liberal community in L.A. Okay? He does not George Clooney.

He doesn't put it in your face. He's shrewder than that, but he does not like Donald Trump at all. So I'm going to play two sound bites from Mr. Hanks. Hanks to prove that point, and then I'll give you why West Point canceled the award. So roll tape one. Could you play this president of the United States? Oh, I think a lot of people could. Yeah.

How would you play him? I would probably play him as a very incurious man. And I do it in an interpretation more so than incurious and an unimaginative guy who doesn't seem much beyond the next 48 hours. Okay, there's another wrong with that. You know, I'd say the same thing about Joe Biden and Tom Hanks entitled its point of view. In Curious, okay. But then that was in 2017. Seven years later, Hanks' rhetoric got a little more intense. Go. Do you worry about the United States in case there, in terms of its commitment to democracy and freedom and everything these people died for, if there's another Trump president? I think there's always reason to be worried about the short term, but I look at the longer term of what happened.

I think there is a ongoing, look, our Constitution says we the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union. That journey to a more perfect union has missteps in it. And it's a little more political, okay? So he's worried. Amunpur hates Trump. That was the interviewer there. But again, he's kind of dancing, Hanks. But Trump knows.

It's Spielberg and Katzenberg and Ari Emanuel and the Disney people. He knows. They're all arrayed against it. also knows that a conservative actor, a Trump supporter in Hollywood, lose jobs. That's wrong. I don't care about not liking Trump. I know most of these people out there. I don't care whether they like Trump or not. Okay. I didn't care whether they like Biden or not. It doesn't matter to me. If they want to discuss it, I'm happy to do so. Okay, but you're an American and you can decide. But Trump takes it personally. Everybody knows that. Now, Tom,

Hanks, 69 years old, and I met him once, but my friend Dennis Miller is best buds with Tom Hanks, and Miller likes him a lot, and, you know, so that means something to me, because Miller is a tough guy, and Miller is no liberal. agnostic on Hanks myself. So here's what Trump takes it all personally, okay? Here's what he posted on true social. Our Great West Point, getting greater all the time, has smartly canceled the awards ceremony

and he fractured Tom Hanks. Important move. We don't need destructive, woke recipients getting our cherished American awards. Hopefully the Academy Awards and other, fake award shows, we'll review their standards and practices in the name of fairness and justice, watch their dead ratings surge, unquote. So it's a personal beef here. Because West Point never would have canceled this without President Trump, who's the commander-in-chief of the military,

going, no. And it got pretty far along, okay, until Trump, told Trump, zero. And told Trump, in on it. So it was supposed to be September 25th, been going on for six months. And, you know, Hanks is very pleased to get the award. But now he's not getting it. So if I were president, would I have done that if there was a recipient of any award, national award, by the military, U.S. military, who didn't like me, who openly criticized me? The answer is no. I would not have done it. I would have allowed Tom Hanks, get the award. If I had a beef with Hanks, I certainly would put that in the social media. So I think Donald Trump's wrong for not approving of Donald of Tom Hanks. Okay, but I would

spell the beef out, but then I would say, look, he's done enough good for the military, and he has, if you want to be honest, that I'm not going to interfere with the award, I just wish the guy would come back to reality and see that my administration and the way I am the commander-in-chief benefits the military, because you can make a very good argument about that. So Biden didn't care about the military at all, nothing. But Trump has put resources into it to protect our men and women who volunteer for service. He has.

It's an indisputable fact. Now, if you're Tom Hanks, who'll never do an interview with anybody like me, he said, well, look, Trump has improved the status of the military, has improved conditions for vets. And part of the big beautiful bill was that. He's looking out for them, it looks like. So are you cutting them slack on that? Do you approve of that? That's a question you asked Tom Hanks. But I like to see in American leadership across the board a measure of common sense.

And that's in a of my radio program, Common Sense, on WABC. I'd like to see, look, I know he doesn't like me. And I don't like the fact that these liberals in Hollywood do things, in my opinion, that are destructive to my administration in the country. I don't like that. That's fine. That's one of the things I admire about Trump. You know, I interviewed Bush the Younger in the middle of the Iraq war

when the corporate media was just slashing him, banging him like crazy, stupid this, that. I said to him, you know, Mr. President, is there a line that the media is going to cross? where you're going to come back at them? And he goes, no. They can say what they want. Bush never confronted them, ever. And I didn't think it was weak. I knew why he didn't want to pump them up.

But for me, a confrontational man, I admire Trump's, in many instances, his confrontation. If he thinks something's unfair, if he thinks you're trying to hurt the country, he goes after you. you. I have no problem with that. It has to be legitimate. And this is a small beef coming back to Hanks. All right, Hanks is a liberal. Hanks hangs with all of the leftists in Hollywood, deeply ingrained in that society. So he says what he says. Do I want to punish him for that?

No. I wouldn't. You know, I don't usually do personal beefs on this program, but I got to tell you something about what happened on Saturday night in Island Park, Nassau County, New York. So I was going at a restaurant at a res at 6 p.m. It's a 5 o'clock mass at Sacred Heart. church on Long Beach Road, but the San Giro Festival was just about to get underway, so Long Beach Road was blocked off. But I wanted to go to Mass because I'd try to go every Sunday. So I went around and around nowhere to park, impossible a park. So I had a park in a neighborhood, and I knew that there was a chance that I would be flagged for illegal.

parking. There were signs, but you couldn't really make them out what they were. Okay. So I went to church, Italian church, got out about 10 minutes to six, walked over, there's a ticket on my car. I knew it. The guy was not a cop. He was slovenly dressed because I saw him. And I actually approached him. And I said, what are you doing? He was, oh, give me a ticket. you're illegally parked. I said, there is nowhere to park. You know there's a five o'clock mass at Sacred Heart Church. You know people who want to go to that mass have to park illegally. You know that. This is entrapment. The guy gets a piece of every ticket he writes. Okay, that's the way these towns operate. So the mayor is a Michael McGinty of Island Park. I haven't called him yet. I probably will.

I don't care about the 40 bucks. I care about this entrapment. They did this on purpose. They knew that anybody going in that mass would have to park illegally and they could slap them with a 40-buck ticket. That's wrong. That is absolutely wrong. And the authorities in Island Park should be ashamed of themselves. Now, this is happening not only there.

It's happening in a lot of places on Long Island now, as these towns want to raise rights. revenue. If you go to Sag Harbor in Suffolk County, you watch yourself. They're just waiting these people. They're playing clothes, cops. They're waiting. They sit in bars and they watch people have more than two drinks. They follow them out to the car, Sag Harbor. Okay? This is unbelievable what they're doing. So it's wrong. It used to happen in the South all the time. It used to be counties and cities, towns there where you couldn't go because you knew the cops were going to pull you over something. I don't like to see that. I think this is corruption.

And talk about corruption, front page New York Post. Okay? So you've got, according to Post, 63 career criminals terrorizing the New York City subway system. And they give examples. Okay? One guy, Michael Wilson, 36 arrests this year alone. Okay. Kenny Mitchell, 149 total arrests.

These guys, nothing happens to him. Nothing. The arrests, the cops take them. We're talking about assault, robbery, theft, turnstile jumping, everything you can think of. They bring them in, they book them, judges let them go, they go back out, and they commit a horrendous, amount of crimes. Horrendous. Okay. Are the 63 career criminals in New York Post spotlighted? They have more than 5,000 arrests. Five thousand. And they're not in jail. They're not in prison. Anarchy. And I said on Sid this morning that if Mandani gets elected, this is

going to triple, quadruple. Nobody will be punished. Only the most heinous killers and rapists in this city. Vandani does not want to prosecute crime. Do you think it's bad now? And they give you the stats, oh, we're driving it down, we're driving it down. That's true, but it's still a chronic danger. And you're never going to eliminate all crime, but if you keep letting 63 heart hardcore criminals out. What do you expect to happen? What do you expect to happen if you vote for Mandani? Crime is going to explode. New poll, Siena College, you're outside of Albany, New York Times. No surprise. Mandami up 46 percent, Sleewa 15, Cuomo 24, Eric Adams 9. So Adams is no chance. None. He's done, finished, and he'll drop out. I still believe that will happen. That'll help Cuomo a little bit. But head to head in this poll, Mandami beats Cuomo 4844. That's close. Now, Mandami is getting hammered all across the board from people like me, all right, because I see the danger very clearly of this man running the city of New York. Now, I'm going to do.

this on the national show, but not to the extent that I'm doing it here for you guys that are WABC listeners. So yesterday is on Katz and Cosby a very successful program at 5 in the afternoon on WABC. And I told the crew that voting for Mandami is in itself an act of evil because I have my book, Confronting Evil, which comes out today. So it's in context. Now, that's gotten a lot of attention on social media. And let me explain it. Roll the tape. And so my thesis to Rosenberg this morning was, look, if you're going to cast a ballot for a man

who has outwardly said he does not want to enforce the law, he does not want to incarcerate even violent people because he believes these violent miscreants are forced to commit their crimes because American society is evil. So he himself, as a leader of the largest city in the country, is not going to encourage the city to prosecute to take these people off the streets. If you are voting for that, casting your ballot, what are you voting for? Because you have to know that philosophy is going to lead to death and pain for thousands of people. Yeah. So it's an act of evil. Now, there's a difference between human beings doing evil, because we're all sinners, okay, and being evil.

Now, I'm not saying if you vote for Mandami that you're an evil person. I'm saying the act of pulling that lever for a man who's going to allow violence to spike, and that will lead to, as I said, unbelievable pain and destruction. That act is bad. It's evil. It's wrong. And there's nobody you can refute it.

mandami can't because you've got to know cause and effect you don't have to be nostradamos to know if you're going to take a billion dollars which is what mandami wants to do out of the police budget that you're going to have more crime if you're going to call your own police department racist that those people are going to retire get another job somewhere else or sit there in their desk and not work for you. That's what's going to happen. And the criminals are just salivating, just waiting for this. And that social order, you think homeless drug addicts roaming all over the place, panhandlers everywhere, you know, your kid walking to school, seeing this depravity, think that's going to get better under Mandani? Come on. This is logic, simple,

as it can be. It's not complicated. And there's no two sides to the story. Final kicker. It shows you how much New York City has changed. Vandami could not win dog catcher to use a cliche in Nassau County, in Suffolk County, in most upstate counties, maybe not even in Westchester County. He couldn't win in northern New Jersey, Bergen County. Hudson County, I don't think he could win. he couldn't, he wouldn't win in Southern Connecticut. But in New York City, the voting patterns and the people who live here have changed so much that Mandani is likely to win when he couldn't win anywhere else in proximity to the city. Frightening, reality.

And I don't know what else I can do, but I'm telling you, you vote for that man that's an evil act another poll emerson college that's in boston uh channel 11 i guess hired emerson to do this uh only 600 registered voters new york city mayor um and dame 43 percent quomo 28 slew with 10 adam 7 um if the election were just between quomo and mandami 47 for zoran 40% for the governor now everybody thinking mandami's got it locked not me he's obviously the favorite but when adams drops out i still believe he will it's going to turn a little bit to quomo get some votes on that uh i don't think zan mandami is going to get any votes from the mayor dropping out, but could be wrong. The controversy this week,

and we talked about it yesterday, was that I said pulling the lever for Mandami in November is an evil act. And the progressives went wild. Whenever you attack the progressive philosophy or what they do, they attack back. And I'm this, I'm not. Okay, fine. I can defend that all day long simply by Mandani's own words. So a billion he wants to take away from the NYPD. He wants to let most criminals and Rikers and other city facilities out on the street. Okay. He believes a police department in New York is racist. He doesn't want to enforce quality of life crimes. That means you'd have homeless on your front lawn. You'd have people shooting up heroin in front of your kids walking to school. No constraints at all, none. Now, what do you

think is going to happen if he gets elected? Okay, the criminals are going to run wild. That means more death, more rapes, more assault, and you're voting for that. You're voting for that. You're pulling the lever for mandone. Because that's the immediacy of what's going to happen. All his other pie in sky grocery store stuff, rent this. It'll never get done, in my opinion, but even if it did, years down the road, okay? I guess he could make the buses free right away, but I'm not sure he could. They have bills to pay. But the violence will be almost immediate. And again, you vote for that guy. That's what you're voting for, violence, street violence, putting yourself in danger. It's insane, but it's an evil act. You can't justify it. Now, I know Cuomo is not liked

by anybody, and that's a problem with him. Nobody likes Cuomo. They don't like him personally. They don't like what he did in office. They don't like him. And Adams has been a failure. 9% want him reelected? Come on. It's ridiculous.

And Curtis is up against it because of the registration's 5-1 Democrat over a Republican. So he'll do well in the only precinct that has Republicans, Staten Island, but you can't overcome the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan.

Now, I still think that Curtis could win. I don't know how. And it's probably because I want to think that. But I'd vote for it. Somebody said, who would you vote for? I live right outside New York City in Nassau County. I said, if I were a New York City resident, I'd vote for Curtis. Because at least Curtis knows what the problem is.

You cannot allow violent people to get out. and roam the city and commit crimes and will. You can't. And that's what Mandani will do. In addition to destroying the economy and there'll be, you know, exodus out of here, and business will go down, restaurants, everybody's going to be in a panic. And then that's four years you get to put up with this. And Hogle is as weak a governor as you can possibly get. She's not going to do anything. She has not endorsed Mandani, by the way. and I don't expect her to because she has to run for re-election the next year. And Mandami, by the time, gets to the gubernatorial race,

will have destroyed a large segment of the city. But remember, de Blasio got reelected. De Blasio is the worst mayor in New York City history. So this is not some fantasy here. This is evil because violence is evil. Hello. approaching. And everybody in New York City should understand what is happening. Charlie Kirk, that's who we're going to talk about. So I am taping this on Thursday. And I just

finished watching the view where all the women who are leftists, some of them radicals, were lamenting what happened to mr kirk now you would expect that disney ordered them to do it but i think they do it anyway i know they did that stupid it's not msnbc um but you know oh you know he got killed because he he was speaking out and he blah blah blah blah blah well have you never invited charlie kirk on a program never they don't want to hear what he had to say they loathe them When I was at Fox, I was on a view 15 times because Barbara Walters was running it then. Once she left, I never got invited back.

They don't want to hear from me. They don't want to hear from anybody who's a non-liberal progressive. So it's a coffee clatch every day. And MAGA is bad, Trump is Hitler. The devil, the devil, the devil, the devil. And then when that kind of rhetoric, incendiary rhetoric, Eric leads to evil, oh, no, no, no, it's terrible, it's terrible.

You're part of it. You're part of it. You're in that machine with Colbert and the rest of the network people. Colbert had no traditional conservative people except Lynn Cheney, Liz Cheney. the whole year, the whole year. All progressives, one after the other, after the other, after the other. Now, he got fired because CBS gets sold to Skydance and they're not going to do that anymore. But that went on for 10 years.

It's a banishment. The one view is allowed. One view, the woke view. That's it. If you're not woke and you're not saying that's, stuff, you're not welcome. On any of them. Censorship. But worse than that, the extremists, and I wouldn't put Colbert into that category, he's just, you know, an ill-informed entertainer. That's my description. Same thing with the view, ladies. I mean, I go on

a view. They can't stand up to me. They don't know anything. It's ridiculous. But all of this, and the social media is the worst. I don't even bother. I can't. It's just too destructive to my soul to go on and read people on social media saying we're happy Charlie Kirk was assassinated. It just pains me. So I don't do it. So you know the drill.

all right he's 31 years old very successful mobilizes traditional and conservative college students turning point USA he's got a daughter who's three and a son is one those kids will never know their father the evil person who shot kirk they didn't care about them you didn't care about anything he's evil evil doesn't care so i've done about a hundred media requests all over the world because my book, Confronting Evil, is out this week. And it deals with this kind of stuff. It deals with Putin's on a cover. Ayatollah Khomeini. This is the 24th anniversary of 9-11. It's all relevant to today. Basically, the book tells you how evil gains strength. How Hitler and Mao and Stalin and rest of them. How they got where they got.

Who did it? Who helped them? We're seeing that in America. And I mean, I break it down for everybody. So look, we all know whoever assassinated Charlie Kirk is evil. There's no debate on it. But how about the young woman on a bus in Charlotte? So a judge allowed the alleged murderer out on the street knowing the judge, the judge, knew. Fourteen arrests, one of them for violently beating up his own sister, could have easily held him because he's schizophrenic. He's saying he's hearing voices and on. She could have held him, the judge, let him out. That judge is still sitting there. She could be removed by the judiciary in North Carolina, I haven't removed her.

They're enabling evil because what the judge did led to the murder of this young woman. The judge's blood on her hands. There's no doubt about it. There's no two sides of the story. Knew he was violent. Let him out. She killed. He killed the girl. That's all. And she didn't pay a price. And now I do think she'll be fired.

Subsequently, because of pressure that I'm putting on in others, it's pretty intense. But there's no rush to get her out of there. Mm-mm. No way. About Chicago, 20 years, 20 years, poor blacks on the south side of Chicago have been murdered by drug gangs. And the progressive leadership in Illinois and Chicago has done nothing about it. Nothing. They can't stop it.

they don't want to stop it. It's chaos and dying by the thousands. Federal government says, you know, we'll give you a blanket of protection to bring this down, this killing down. No. Pritzka didn't want it. Johnson, the mayor, doesn't want it. No, no, no. Trump's a fascist. Trump's Hitler. We don't want it. Well, how are you going to save the thousands that are being killed every day? Every day. there's a scorecard of how many people are shot in the south side of Chicago. How are you going to do it? Oh, well, we need more money. Oh, we need community services. Oh, we need more jobs. Okay. So no acknowledgement that the drug gangs are evil, that they're not going to work in McDonald's, that they have no interest in a community

relationship, they want money. And they're selling drugs to get money, which is evil. And the people caught in the crossfires, or who may testify against them, or who they don't like, or whatever it may be. Boom. What are you going to do, Pritzker? No, no, we need more money. It's enabling evil. And the kicker, is these people get votes they get elected in i i'm i'm sitting there going look comes a point where good people have to do something and that's where we are that's why i wrote confronting evil all right you have to start to stand up in your own neighborhood in your own home in your family now don't put yourself at risk

do that. Charlie Kirk put himself at risk. He knew I know all of our, the commentators, oh, we know some nut can take us out. I had one point at Fox had to have security guards living in my house, living in my house. And back then, it wasn't nearly the threat level it is now. So when I go around New York City, I got to have people. I got, you know, we have to call a head, we have to have an orderly process to get for me to be. You got to do all that. I can't just, but even though I'm cautious, no guarantee, 200 yards away, high-powered rifle, boom, you're gone. And nobody's protection. you. It's impossible. A free society. Miscreants are running a while, all over the place.

Even in China, a totalitarian lockdown society, you got this stuff. Evil's always been with us. So, I'm going to sum this up by saying, look, you're hearing all the Charlie Kirk platitudes, and that's a good thing. Man's a martyr. Okay? I think he did far more good in this world than bad. I didn't agree with some of his statement, but so what? He didn't agree with some of mine. But he lost his life in pursuit of democracy. And an evil person took his life. And evil is on the rise in the USA.

There is no question about it and around the world. And you need to understand that to protect yourself to do something about it. And that's not, you got to pick it up. Got to pick up Confronting Evil. Okay. 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.
