Starting point is 00:00:00 Now, I thought I'd lead tonight with a recap of the Black Lives Matter investigations that we've done here on Bill O'Reilly.com. It is amazing, and I'll analyze this in a final thought, that all of the major news organizations have stayed away from really trying to find out what the Black Lives Matter organization really is. Now, why? It's a huge story. BLM has taken on an enormous influence. Everybody knows there's a difference between the slogan and the foundation. The official name is the Black Lives Matter National Foundation. And it is a organization that has millions and millions of dollars at its disposal. Okay, so there are three co-founders, Alicia Garza, Patrice Cullors, and Opal Temetti. They're all self-proclaimed Marxists.
Starting point is 00:01:20 They don't hire, the quote is, myself and Alicia, in particular, are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are superversed on ideological theories. from Patrice Cullors, in an interview with the real news network, whatever that is. So they're Marxists, the three of them, and they are the founders. Now, they have named for tax purposes their organization, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. What a mouthful.
Starting point is 00:01:51 The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation incorporated in Delaware in November 2016. Okay. They are not tax exempt right now. They have applied for it, saying they're a non-profit. This is according to Politifact and ABC News. So people who donate to Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation shouldn't receive a tax write-off on their IRS submissions, but they do. Why do they? Because Black Lives Matter in an amazingly shrewd move as allied with an organization called Thousand Currants, Thousand Currants based in Oakland, Thousandcurrents.org if you want to check them out.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Anyway, Thousand Currants is fiscally sponsoring the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, fiscally sponsoring that. And in a loophole of the tax law, that allows anyone who wants to give Black Lives Matter money a tax write-off. Isn't that shrewd? I didn't know about this.
Starting point is 00:03:13 You didn't know about this because it's never been reported anywhere but here. Okay? It's unbelievable. In addition, in addition, okay, our investigation shows from the statement of thousand currents, they have to put out a financial statement, that 71% of all the millions donated to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, 71% of it goes to either salaries, benefits, or consultants. And consultants can be your mom. to be anybody you want it to be. 71%.
Starting point is 00:03:58 So it's not like they're using the money to help anybody. They're all living large off this. And finally, according to the Washington Times, and we believe the report, George Soros has donated more than $33 million to Black Lives Matter movement since 2000. 2016. Now, I wanted to go over it. In a nutshell, five minutes, you got it. Why isn't this being reported in other places? I'll tell you at the end of the program. So the Marxist mayor of New York City, de Blasio, is going to spend tax dollars on a mural, street mural outside the Trump
Starting point is 00:04:54 tower that says Black Lives Matter. Isn't that nice? All right? So seven Black Lives Matter painted murals. It's going to cost the city, what, $100,000? I'm going to be painted all around a city. I don't want that, but that's what's going to happen. Okay, isn't that nice? Last night on Fox News, the chief of the Black Lives Matter of Greater New York. See, each city has a local chieftain. This guy's name is Hawk Newsom. Here's what he said. I said, if this country, if this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it, all right?
Starting point is 00:05:43 And I could be speaking figuratively. I could be speaking literally as a matter of interpretation. Now, sounds violent to me, even figuratively, sounds violent. Sounds like insurrection. We don't get what we want. It's going to burn it down. So there is a law against insurrection, a federal law. Let me read it to you.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Quote, whoever incites sets on foot, a citizen. or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort there too, shall be fined under this title or in prison not more than 10 years. So what Hawke Newsom said
Starting point is 00:06:31 could be prosecuted. Now, in New York, you'd lose because the judges aren't going to force a law here. I shouldn't say that. That's not fair. The system here doesn't want to to enforce the law. The federal system may be a little bit different. So there is a federal law, there is a harsh punishment if you participate in an insurrection. And by saying we're going to burn it down or destroying public property, monuments, whatever, that's an
Starting point is 00:07:03 insurrection by any definition. So let me give you some examples. We've had this before. In 1794, under the presidency of George Washington, there was the whiskey rebellion in western Pennsylvania. You might have heard about it, but they don't teach history in public schools, so you probably don't know about it. So what happened was that the Washington administration needed money, all right, and it taxed whiskey because colonists like whiskey. There were Americans now, but our tradition is, you know, booze has been popular in the United States. So they put a tax on whiskey. And in Western Pennsylvania, people attacked, physically attacked, the federal tax collectors. That was an insurrection.
Starting point is 00:07:49 So George Washington ordered the Army, put it down, and they did. That was the end of the Whiskey Rebellion. Firing on Fort Sumter, you all know that, outside of Charleston, South Carolina, that started the Civil War. That was an insurrection. Rebel forces, Confederate forces, bombarded the fort. bang, war is on. 1968 race riots and riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. That was an insurrection.
Starting point is 00:08:18 And you ought to look that up because that was a lot worse than what's happening now. And I covered that to some degree as a very young reporter. And now, 2020, the George Floyd protests, you can say that some of it is an insurrection. Now, private citizens don't have any power. So you and I don't have any power to call up the police and say to somebody doing an insurrection. We can't do that. Has to be a federal investigation, and then charges could be lodged, but they very rarely are. In the Whiskey Rebellion, not too many people were punished.
Starting point is 00:09:00 And the same thing on the 68 race rides. They hauled them in, but not a lot of happen. So we are in the middle of, I'd say, a mini-insurrection because most people aren't participating, and I'll put forth that most people, most Americans hate this. They despise these insurrectionists. They don't like Hawk Newsom and his hat,
Starting point is 00:09:27 telling us he's going to burn things down if he doesn't get his way. Most Americans don't like that, of all colors. So now the Trump administration has ordered the U.S. Marshals, which I said, you'll remember, last week, should have been moved into Seattle. But anyway, U.S. margins have been ordered to protect all the federal monuments in the country
Starting point is 00:09:52 and arrest anybody trying to vandalize or to face them. Good. The Marshall's assistant director, Andrew Smith, says that his agency has been prepared to provide federal law enforcement to support the national monuments. Good. Good. The marshals are a good outfit. Donald Trump is formulating in his mind and his campaign people how to harness this in
Starting point is 00:10:27 In his reelection campaign, here's what he said yesterday. The FBI is investigating hundreds of people throughout the country for what they've done to monuments, statues, and even buildings. So we have very strong laws already on the books. We have a law that's 10 years. It's 10 years. That's a long time to have fun one night. I think many of the people that are knocking down these statues don't even have any idea what
Starting point is 00:10:54 the statue is, what it means, who it is. they knock down Grant, when they want to knock down Grant, but when they look at certain now they're looking at Jesus Christ, they're looking at George Washington, they're looking at Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, not going to happen, not going to happen. Well, we'll see. It's easy to say that for any politician, including President Trump. We'll see. But so far, we haven't had any federal charge.
Starting point is 00:11:26 charges about insurrection or monument defacement that I know of. Now, they're having people arrested on a local level. But the locals are just going to kick them out. They're not going to do anything. So if there has been a federal charge, then I'd like to know about it, because I don't know about it right now. Okay? That's the key to this whole thing.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Now, remember, if a protester, any protester, across the state lines with a weapon, or anything that can be used as a weapon, that's a rock, a bottle, empty bottle, okay? That's a federal crime. Now, I told you earlier that the FBI has infiltrated various insurrectionist groups, like Antifa. Now, Black Lives Matter, that's a little bit different
Starting point is 00:12:23 because the movement, all right, one thing, the foundation is one thing. And then the people marching under the banner is another thing. So you can march under Black Lives Matter banner and not be part of their official movement. And that's what Black Lives Matter Foundation wants. They want people to be confused. But I know that federal agents are looking into people crossing state lines to loot and and burn and do things like that. But unless people are prosecuted and arrested and paraded out in a perp walk,
Starting point is 00:13:05 all this rhetoric doesn't mean anything. So I don't want to be a provocateur here. But as an American citizen, I want to see some arrests and some charges. Because certainly damage has been done, right? Let's face it, the U.S. economy is 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
Starting point is 00:13:39 silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401k, tax and penalty-free. With billions and precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-89-89-again. And that's 866-326-5576-5-76 or text bill to 998899. All right, let's bring in Dr. Rashad Ritchie from Atlanta, Georgia. Now, he's an interesting guy, the doctor.
Starting point is 00:14:39 He does a talk show on radio, 7 to 10, on News Talk 1380, W-A-O-K. He's voted Best Talk Show host in Atlanta, and he's not, a crazy left-wing bomb thrower. You're more of an analytical guy. Sympathetic to the African-American cause, of course. All right, so so far, doctor, you've listened to me below V8 now for about 13 minutes, and I actually cut it short because you're on. I could have gone 20. I appreciate that, Bill. Thank you. Did I say anything wrong? Yeah, about 80% of what you say was incorrect. So let's go back to. Be specific. Yeah, I am. I'm going to be very specific. Let's go back to what Black Lives Matter as an organization stands for.
Starting point is 00:15:26 The 20% that I give you, Bill, is the fact that you're right. Black Lives Matter as an organization is different than Black Lives Matter as a movement and also as a campaign slogan to bring attention to the atrocities visited upon black folk by way of what they call and we call state sanctioned violence. So let's go back to the organization. If you go to their website, they have a Who Are We page, Black Lives, matter.com. And on that page, you will find absolutely none of what you just said is part of their platform, what you will find with local chapters and also those who are very vocal about the Black Lives Matter movement, they are for elements like free college reparations, which by the way, they're not fringe elements of the conversation. These are elements within the context of progressive politics in the United States of America. I think when we start to contextualize Black Lives Matter as a separatist organization, we lose the effect of this reality. They are
Starting point is 00:16:30 American citizens first. So while we may disagree with their political ideology and their methodology for allocation of wealth and resources, we must remember that they are nonviolent at their core, they are pro-America and they are also pro-black folks. All right, let me stop you. Let me stop you. If you go, look, the Black Lives Matter website is propaganda. If you go to the Chicago Black Lives Matter website, they clearly spell out. But that's not the national organization.
Starting point is 00:17:05 All right, all right. If you go to the Chicago Black Lives Matter website, they clearly spell out. They want to do away with capitalism. They want to do away with the police. They want to do away with all. But here is the thing that you think about. Did you see one statement coming out of the Black Lives Matter national organization? Remember, this is a loosely, these are coalitions here.
Starting point is 00:17:30 There isn't a headquarters in Washington. There isn't one central president like the NAACP. Did you see one statement coming out of any Black Lives Matter precinct that condemn the looters and the arson? Did you see any? Yeah, I didn't read anything from a Black Lives Matter website, but I did see members of Black Lives Matter. Hold on, Bill. Bill, Bill, Bill, you asked me a question.
Starting point is 00:17:53 You asked me a question. And here's the answer to that question. Right here in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, we had Black Lives Matter protest rallies the whole nine. Right here in this city, I can provide video to your producers after this interview. Members of Black Lives Matter condemned looting, and they condemned those who were not peacefully protesting at major rallies that were caught on local news,
Starting point is 00:18:15 right here in Atlanta, Georgia. So while you're talking about the Chicago chapter, and we're arguing if the Chicago chapter is somehow indicative of the national chapter, what I'm telling you is that based on what we can actually research and find, the members of Black Lives Matter, they are still pro-American and pro-societal change, and they are citizens of this country.
Starting point is 00:18:39 And I think we're losing that conversation. You can't let that conversation get away from you, B. All right. I believe that Black Lives Matter is a radical left organization and being supported by other radical left organizations. That's what I believe. I will challenge you to come up with one statement from a Black Lives Matter official that condemned the fires and the looting. You will not find one. It does not exist.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Individual members are in. Look, there were Black Panther members that said we don't like. the murders that some of our people committed. There were, but there wasn't a repudiation of violence by Huey Newton or Elwidge Cleaver or any of the others. There wasn't, which is why the organization ultimately disbanded. Now, let's go back. Before you move to that next point, Bill, let's go, let's finish this one.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Okay, I also didn't hear any repudiation of looting or stealing from multiple groups, groups that aren't just black cause organizations or black cause groups. I didn't hear individuals speaking out against the death of honor black men and women that were part of some of these more pro-patriot organizations. So while you may point to the silence of the white house from the white house on down doctor repudiated that in very stark ones. They did at one time with George Floyd and they mishandled that supremely. You would have to agree that even the president of the United States has been unable to bring this country together
Starting point is 00:20:13 under a racial pandemic. Barack Obama couldn't either in the aftermath of Ferguson and Baltimore. He couldn't either. So I don't think that's possible. There's too much emotion and passion. But let's advance the conversation now. Do you as a successful African American, do you, okay, do you believe, doctor, that African-Americans should get direct payments from the federal government for their lifetimes?
Starting point is 00:20:42 Hell yeah, absolutely. As a wave for reparations and re-correction for slavery. There you got. Okay, so you believe that. Do you believe that based on skin color, African-Americans should get free health care? I don't think it's just based on skin color. Let's go back to what the matrix is.
Starting point is 00:21:04 No, no, no, no, I'm going to answer the question. Do you want free health care, free health care for African-Americans? Bill, you're not going to frame the debate. with me. I will answer the question if you allow me to. Go ahead. Okay. So here's my answer to that question. It's not just skin color, it's lineage. Lineage. That's why the movement and Senate Bill 1083 and House Bill 40, the movement is about those who are descendants of slaves in America, which means it's not just about skin color, right? That's what the bill said. The bill is not about skin color. The bill is about lineage. Lineage to slavery. All right. So do you believe that
Starting point is 00:21:38 anyone whose ancestors were enslaved should get free health care. I believe they should have a package of reparations. What that looks like could be different based on the assessment and that's why HR 40 is a good bill to study. Health care. Free education,
Starting point is 00:21:54 free college education, open admissions to any college. Would you support that? Well, I support the conversation of reparations. I don't have all of the numbers of what that means. That's why there's a smart guy. You know these things. You know these things have been floated around.
Starting point is 00:22:09 I'm not giving you specific numbers. Yeah, it's been floating around, but the United States of America view has been for reparations. Do you think it's fair? We have given reparations to Japanese. We have given reparations to the Native American. We have somehow skipped reparations. I want to know what you think is fair.
Starting point is 00:22:25 I don't care about the broad thing. I just told you what I think. Reparations is not only a proper conversation to have. It is a proper thing to do. All right. So payments, free health, free college, Open college admissions to any lineage to slavery? Yeah, let's go back to free health care.
Starting point is 00:22:45 I'm actually for free health care, and I'm for a college carve-out for those who are descendants of slaves based on a reparation statute. All right. I'm for that. And let me tell you why I'm for that. I'm for that because the wealth aspect of this nation was in perils based on what happened for two blacks who gave free labor to white. slave owners in this country. There was a generational wealth disconnect. I certainly understand the rationale for the demands, but I will tell you in my humble opinion, and you should know that my ancestors came from Ireland where their very humble farm, two acres was seized by the Crown in London,
Starting point is 00:23:28 forcing them off the land where they starved, and two 16-year-old boys had to be put on a death ship and sent from Galway to Brooklyn. All right? That's what happened to my ancestors. Now, your ancestors should get reparations from that government. Well, they're not going to get reparations, okay? And neither are African Americans. That's not going to happen. And the reason it's not going to happen is because once you start down that road of historical justification for wrongs, it never ends. But more importantly, and I know you're going to, you've considered this point. You may not agree with it, but I know you've considered it. If you do this, you divide Americans, and you can say lineage, you can say them, but you divide them by skin color.
Starting point is 00:24:12 You have a specialized group that is now getting money from the taxpayers, all of the taxpayers, for historical injustices. The current taxpayer may have lost ancestors fighting for the freedom of slaves. They may have lost ancestors doing all kinds of positive things. Not going to go for it, Doc. You're going to divide the nation and you're going to create more racial animus. Let me respond to that. Sure. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Nobody said that when the reparations for Japanese were on the table, for the Japanese were on the table, they actually gave the Japanese reparations. We gave reparations to the Native American. We also have given reparations to those who were. affected impact about the Holocaust, and we didn't even do that, okay? We gave reparations because we were complicit by way of silence and allowance. So when we talk about reparations, remember, the American government is actually full reparations based on this historical connection to give a reparations to all of these other groups. So no, it did not divide
Starting point is 00:25:20 America then, and it would not divide America now. And I disagree with you on your conclusion that it would further separate the men and women who are Americans currently. And here's why. The reason why you have much of the racial disparity and divide and conflict is because of the great disparity and economic realities between the various groups. And it just so happens to connect with skin color and also living conditions. If you are able to lessen that divide,
Starting point is 00:25:48 you also strengthen the connection of all of these racial elements within the United States. The great sin of this country was the introduction of slavery, state sanctioned, government, protected slavery. And until this nation is able to address that, answer it, appropriately allocate resources that should have been there in the first place, you will always have this separation between the races and cultures that you have today. Nick, it's very possible, but the majority of Americans do not see it your way. They don't want to pay for historical
Starting point is 00:26:22 justices. But it's inching up. It's 40 plus percent now. It used to be 18 percent. It's edging up. I appreciate you coming on and after our, and I hope you'll come back. And after our conversation, I'm going to tell you why the inching up is going to stop and stop soon. There's going to be a tremendous backlash. I make a bet with you on that one. Well, look, I don't want bad things to happen in this country, so I would never bet on anything that might be bad. But I will tell you, the defund police made your mistake on the left's part. Bill, can we talk about that just for one minute?
Starting point is 00:26:57 The Anarchy in Seattle, major mistakes. The defund police is a good movement because it doesn't mean to eliminate the police budget. That's not what that movement means. Maybe you think it's good, but no, this is what it is. Let me explain what it means. Just let me explain what it means, Bill. That's all I'm asking. Okay, real quick, the defunding police movement is not taking away the budget of police and is not eliminating the police force. That would be insane.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Defunding police means reimagined what policing is. If you have a city that's spending one-third to one-half of their entire budget on hiring police, that means your city is failing you because they are reacting to crime rather than spending that budget or a chunk of that budget on the conditions that lead to that crime, such as mental health disorders, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and poverty. That is what defund the police means. It doesn't mean take all the money away. It means to reprioritize the budget so that you can address the underlying conditions that lead
Starting point is 00:27:52 to criminality in the first place. There are money, there is money budgeted for that. In fact, in New York City, we had a billion dollars squandered on a social program to improve education, didn't do anything. So I don't think you tie in police money with social money. Well, that's a microcosm, and that should not apply to the rest of the world. If they got it, they got it wrong. We appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Good debate. And we'll talk with you soon, okay? Thank you, Bill. All right. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in.
Starting point is 00:28:52 You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Defund the police? Hey, how's that working? Bill de Blasio, you moron, roll him. This means we know when they're shootings, they beget more shootings. We understand retaliation. We understand gang dynamics. And I've heard from a lot of community leaders that they're increasingly concerned.
Starting point is 00:29:19 So as we try to make sense of all the important issues that have to be addressed in this budget, I think, Marcia, it's really important to remember, you know, job one is always to keep people safe. Sure it is. Job one. You, de Blasio, in office seven years, haven't solved one problem. Not one. I was on with Mark Simone, the New York talker today. And you ought to listen to that, conversation. I asked Simone, who knows New York, as well as anybody, give me one problem Mayor de Blasio has solved in seven years. There aren't any. He's made everything worse. And now he and Dermot Shea, the police commissioner, who's going to be out of there soon, because the cops won't work for him. They disband the street crimes unit. We talked about it yesterday.
Starting point is 00:30:19 yesterday. Why? There's no reason to. They were the undercover detectives in the violent neighborhoods that stopped the violence before it started. They saw the gangbangers coming out with the guns and nailed them before they could shoot anybody. They're gone. And you wonder why crimes up 358 percent in a year? Well, but job one is particularly. protecting people. It is, I have never, in 46 years of reporting and analyzing the news, seen a more incompetent individual in public service than Bill de Blasio. Not only is he a Marxist, he is flat out stupid. He is a dumb man. And New Yorkers elected him. Only 27% voted. I can't vote in New York City because I don't live there.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I live in another county. Okay? But he's there for seven years. He's got one more year to raise the crime at 1,000 percent. So defund the police means bodies in the street. In the minority neighborhoods, Black Lives Matter. Do we all get it? Well, I'll tell you a guy who does get.
Starting point is 00:31:48 former football great Herschel Walker. He tweeted on June 17th, quote, I have an idea for all these people who don't want any police. I'd love to meet with American Airlines, Delta, Southwest, and make a deal to fly them to countries that don't have police. I want them to be happy, unquote. Herschel Walker joins us now from Dallas, Texas. So you are at odds with many African-Americans who support the defund the police movement.
Starting point is 00:32:27 How did that happen? Well, it happened through truth. Truth is this country was built on laws. And do we have a long ways to go? Yes, we do. But do we do it this way? No, we don't. And I believe in the police.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I believe in the laws. And I think my father, who was born in the South with racism, told his kids to respect the police, but also educated his kids to go out and become lawyers and doctors. And you change things within the system. You don't go out and fight the system because who live by the sword would definitely die by the sword. Okay. Now, in your life, you have been fabulously successful. and it has been because of your talent and hard work, University of Georgia, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, you're a football legend.
Starting point is 00:33:25 But before you got there, when you were a younger person, a kid, did the cops hassle you? Well, they didn't hassle me when I was a little kid. They hassled my father. but today, you know, I have some police officers that may hassle me, but that's only a few. And that's why I support the police because, you know, they're bad everywhere. And, you know, 99.9% of the police are very good people. They're out defending this country.
Starting point is 00:33:59 I support the military. I support the flag. And what's sad is because I disagree with some of my African-American friends and some of my Caucasian friends today. I'm in called a name. I'm in called all this. And I'm saying that's what's so beautiful about America is I have a right to choose. But they want to take that right from me. No, they want to demonize you if you disagree with them. Now, your dad, you said your dad was
Starting point is 00:34:25 hassled, right? How did he handle that? And what did he say to you about it? Well, he had four boys and three girls. He got a bunch of grandkids today. He told us to be respectful. But he also educated us to say yes sir and no sir and uh you know obeyed law and you know and he always said let me do the the dirty work let him handle the dirty work and and what i mean by that is i wanted to be a police officer you know a lot of people don't know i want to go to the fbi i spent a little time at the academy there in quantico just training and i spent some time at the police academy doing some different things and and defunding the police was a terrible idea maybe they didn't mean defunding the police and they may have meant something else,
Starting point is 00:35:07 but my thing is I want most people that is unhappy with the United States to go to a country that has no laws that do or has a police department that is ran by the government that I want them to be happy because this is the United States of America. And I think we got to remember that.
Starting point is 00:35:27 You know, I'm sad that they're destroying all these monument, these, you know, most of the young kids today don't even know what those monument are. They don't know what they stood for. You know, I asked some of the kids, you know, do you know about the Civil War? And they know the South and the North Fall and all. They don't really know a lot of this. And, you know, all this racism.
Starting point is 00:35:45 I'll tell you one of the worst racist thing I ever heard, and I know about racism because I grew up there. One of the worst racist thing I've ever heard is I heard Senator Kamala Harris called Joe Biden the racist in a debate. And then the thing I knew is then she going to be his running mate. as vice president because he now think he should elect a black woman to be his running mate. I think that's racist because why don't you elect someone that is great for the job? Don't put no one in because that black. That's the problem we have today. You win things by the merit of who you are, not by the color of your skin.
Starting point is 00:36:28 And that's what I preach all the time. People don't want to hear it. We've come a long ways. You know, I heard a debate the other day with my great Ms. Owens, and people ask her, why do you like that statement President Trump made Make America Great Again? And they said, oh, why? Did he like what it was years ago? And I'm like, that's not what the statement mean.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Make America Great Again mean that it's better than it was during my Martin Luther King days. It better than it was during my father days. It is even better when I was a little boy. It's better today than it was. and I was a little boy. It is up to me to make it even better for my kids. You know, will I ever see totally, totally equality? No, I may not, but I'm going to strive to get it.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Well, if you compare us to most of the other countries in the world, we certainly compete on trying. Most Americans are trying. You're always going to have bad people. I admire your father, by the way. We have great people here. Yeah, I know. One of the people here, everybody's trying, and it's sad that now because you try and people don't like what you say you call a racist.
Starting point is 00:37:40 So everybody get all nervous about that. But don't worry about that, Herschel. It is absolutely. The important people respect you. Always remember, the important people respect you. The gutter snipes. This was a funny beer. I honestly don't care because the truth hurts because, yeah, I'm a Christian, you know, and I'm not telling anyone who to believe in.
Starting point is 00:38:00 I love the Lord Jesus. but people would take the Bible and interpret out of the Bible what they want to interpret because they want to be happy and they want to be happy with whatever they'll do it. But I said the truth is the truth
Starting point is 00:38:11 whether you like it or not. You know, one of the things that I like about this president today and people say, I've known President Trump, you know, I've known since 1980. You play for him when he owned in New Jersey generals.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Here's my first boss. He's one of my best friends. I've known forever. But one thing I know about him, this man helped fund the historical black colleges when people that's been in the Senate
Starting point is 00:38:36 Joe Biden has been in the Senate he's been a vice president for years not one time did they ever do that this person here helped to you know reform the prison system as anyone did that no they didn't do that
Starting point is 00:38:52 so it's not what someone says it's the deeds that they do now I got one more question for you the national football leaves on a bad track, you know that, the peer pressure now to kneel on every team, and you saw what happened at Drew Brees, is going to alienate many, many fans. So the fans are going to be angry with the league. I don't think they're even going to play the national anthem when the players are on the field. They'll probably do it when they're in the locker room.
Starting point is 00:39:21 But you know there's going to be, you know, signals and this, that, and the other thing. This is going to be a rough season for the National Football League. Do you agree? I totally disagree. And let me tell you, I disagree with Drew Brees. I disagree with Drew Brees because when I first heard his statement, I didn't think he said anything wrong because he said, you know, I'm standing because of my father, I think he said my father, my grandfather fought in a war. And that was his family. And he and I said, but he's not being insensitive to the African-American players. What he needs to do is talk to them, I understand what's going on with them and say, you know, I understand what's happening. And I'm going to.
Starting point is 00:40:00 support you as well. But, you know, I still want to stand for the flight. I think for the commissioner to now say, oh, you know, I may have made a mistake. You know, that's, no, you didn't make a mistake. What you're doing now is caving in the pressure. Well, that's what I mean. I think there's going to be trouble in the NFL this fall with the, and even in the teams, the teams are going to be divided in a locker room about certain things. It's not going to be good. Listen, Herschel, we really appreciate it. We're going to have you back. I hope you'll come back. I think you're very gutsy guy to put out that tweet and take the heat. But you're a patriot. I've always known that. I've always, I don't know you, but I've watched you from afar. You've always been a patriot,
Starting point is 00:40:40 and I really appreciate you coming on today. No, I thank you so much. Thank you for having me home. Okay. All right. Let's get a little mail going on here. Lisa, concierge member, thank you, Lisa. To make it clear every time someone donates the Black Lives Matter, 71% of that donation goes to the three co-founders. That's what we found out. 71% is used by the three ladies who founded it and some of that money goes to consultants and all that. Read my column. It's very instructive. Donna, I believe that Americans are not racist. Some are, Donna, come on. I mean, they're racist in every society. Some are. And they have to be confronted in some way.
Starting point is 00:41:30 WC. I just spent 30 years in elementary education in California. You're right, Bill. With your views on schools, they absolutely ignore the poorest performing students. Can't do that. You know, I can afford tutors for my kids, but the poor kids can't. We've got to redesign the public school system here. They absolutely have to do it. Sandy, psychological evaluation of police cadets is a great idea.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Sadly, Democratic Party will not. will not do that. No, they're using it as a political. The police reform is a political issue. I don't think they want to solve the problem. I don't think they want to solve the race problem either. I want to keep it going. So people get angry and vote out Trump.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Tom Stichwa, Fayetteville, Georgia just reported here in Atlanta that traffic stops are down 90%. Surprise, no. Police are going to, you know, police have had it. The revenue, they know the city needs a revenue. They're not going to write the tickets. It's happening everywhere. Donna Cook, El Cajon, California.
Starting point is 00:42:33 This has been an amazing week of podcast, Bill. You presented so much important information no one else is talking about. That's why we're here. Nobody else is going to tell you this stuff. You read my column on the Black Lives Matter Organization. You're not getting that anywhere else. Donna Walton, Nacadoches, Texas. New format is excellent.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Thank you. I appreciate the additional time. The reason BLM segments have been done. so enlightening. Bob Wolf, the Villages, just mentioned the Villages. Just gave my youngest son in Illinois a subscription of Bill O'Reilly.com for his birthday. Yes, that's what we have to do. Now get them the stickers. Stand up for your country. Again, go to our store, order the stickers. Let's get a million of them out on the streets. All right. Word of the day when writing to us not be at troglodyte. Final thought in a moment? Right back. All right, here's the final thought of the day.
Starting point is 00:43:25 You may remember that the movie Killing Jesus Off My Book was a little controversial because I hired a Muslim Lebanese guy to play Jesus. Roll it. God, speaking of me. Yes. Because until this day, while I'm a man of strong belief, I've worked at trade. A carpenter. Nothing more. What is prophesied?
Starting point is 00:43:55 Cannot be denied. The cup will be raised to your lips, Jesus. That's why. Okay, now I did that because Jesus was Semitic. His lineage, and back to David, were all Middle Eastern people. And so I hired a guy that looked like Jesus. Now, according to Rasmus and Paul, a third of black Americans believe that a white Jesus, should be removed from churches. No, no, that's wrong.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Jesus is universal. It doesn't matter what color he is. All right, he was a man. That's what killing Jesus is all about. You learn about the man. But there aren't snapshots of him, no portraits of him. So however you imagine Jesus is fine. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:44:50 All right, it's what Jesus did. in preaching Christianity, love your neighbor, to the whole world. We'll see you tomorrow.
