Here to talk about this and much more, Bill O'Reilly, Bill O'Reilly.com.
He's written 15 books, all of them, number one bestsellers, pretty amazing.
And you have a book on Donald Trump coming out entitled The United States of Trump sometime in the fall, right?
September 17th, it looks like, Hannity.
If I can bang this thing out by the end of May.
So I got about 60, 65%.
You know, people don't know you like I do.
This is you.
Oh, September 17th, Hannity.
You know, people don't know you the way I know you now.
Yes.
And it's like, I mean, people ask me about you all the time now because you come on pretty regularly.
And I'm like, I'm like, no, no, no.
He's just tough, but he's not that tough.
He thinks he's tough.
Everybody on Long Island calls everybody by their last name because it's dignity in the last name.
Guys, and you know this.
I mean, he was brought up in Long Island.
He'd go out.
Hey, how you do?
Go ahead. Look at Smitty over there. Hey, Goldberg. What are you up to?
And it's like Linda grew up in Philly. Like, Linda, for example, for a bill, will you please say coffee?
Just so he can hear you. Coffee.
Coffee. Say talk radio.
Talk radio.
Say Singapore.
Singapore. I mean, it's like, and you cannot get it out of people. Anyway.
No, each region, I mean, I used to talk like this.
How did I?
Today, I was like John Travolta, Saturday Night Fever, because my father was from Brooklyn.
So it was mine.
Where was your father in Brooklyn from?
Mine was from Bed Stuy, and he grew up absolutely, you know, piss poor.
He had nothing.
Yeah, my father was on Flatbush Avenue, West Street, in the Irish ghetto.
My grandfather was a Brooklyn cop.
And, you know, look, we were raised in this, in this, let's just let it fly, no PC environment.
which has led to the success that you've had, and I've had,
because people want straight talk.
We stand on their shoulders, Bill.
I mean, when I think of the suffering of my grandparents,
yeah, it's some, but go ahead, tell your story.
I want to hear.
No, I just, and it ties into which you were just talking about,
socialism on Levittown, Long Island,
but nobody had anything.
However, they were willing to work for it.
So my father said, you go in a college.
All right. You're going. There's no debate about it. You're going because if you go, you're going to be able to compete better in the United States of America. So I went to college. And it was a mobility that was driven by hard work and self-reliance. Was it not? I mean, that's the environment. Bill, my parents didn't have money for me for college, but I had worked in, I mean, every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, when I started working as a dishwasher by hand, no machine, and then a cook, and then a
boy waiter.
I mean, my father would come in in the middle of the night.
I'd come home at 12 after two St. Paulie girls fly home on my bicycle.
And no, seriously.
And then my father, when I really made money to borrow, would take 80% of it.
I'm like, where's my money?
Give me my money.
And he was putting it all away for me, which, by the way, ended up sending me to college for the years that I went.
You know, I painted houses in the summertime.
And we all did. We all worked. But today, it's a different thing because there's a sense of entitlement and victimhood.
I mean, so we're all victims, right? There's a new poll out today. And I like this poll. It's a gallop poll.
It said, do you believe in America is have and have nots? And the majority of Americans say, no, we don't believe that.
That if you're born into a circumstance where you don't have a lot of money, you can work your way out of that.
all right it is possible if you get educated and you're honest to rise up and it is
it absolutely is in this country and the false narrative that these people are throwing
out on the progressive left that no no no the government has to do it for you you can't
do it you're not capable of doing it it's so arrogant and to give these people power
it's frightening it's really a frightening scenario to give the far left power in
America. I mentioned not abortion, but infanticide. Or, you know, if the baby's delivered and
will keep the baby comfortable and then the mother can kill the baby, I mean, that would be an
individual soul living and breathing on its own, as the Virginia governor said. But think of what
they're proposing. And look at this through the prism of your parents and your grandparents,
my parents, my grandparents, all four grandparents came from Ireland to the turn of the last
century. You know, now they want a 70% top marginal rate for individuals, 90% top corporate rate,
and it's going to be guaranteed jobs, guaranteed vacation, guaranteed retirement, guaranteed health
care, daycare, guaranteed literally nursery school through college. Now, when you ask them how
we're going to pay for that, especially without oil and gas, the lifeblood of our economy, they really
can't answer, can they? Sure they can. They just won't. They're going to confiscate property.
What are you doing in the no spin zone? They're going to steal everything. Yeah, they're going to
confiscate your property. That's the wealth tax. And everybody knows it. That's what they do in
socialist countries. They confiscate your stuff that you've already paid taxes on, that you've worked
hard to earn. And they're going to take it. Because that's the only way you could possibly
fulfill all these
pipe dreams. A pipe dream
comes from the opium pipe
that, of course, you're seeing hallucinations
when you take opium that aren't true.
That's what they're peddling.
But these people believe it. That's a scary thing.
Ocasio-Cortez
believes what she says.
Sanders, I'm not so sure. I mean, I think
this is just a big reality show for Bernie Sanders.
I don't think so.
I could be wrong, but he can't be that dense.
No, I think he's that dense.
I believe that.
I don't know. He's been around. He's a Brooklyn guy. He went up to Vermont. He's a calculator. He's got a big house on Lake Champlain. He doesn't live the life of the socialist. He spouts all his stuff because he knows he gets some attention. I'm not so sure that he's a true believer like many of the others are. I know that 80% of the Democratic field for president are not true believers. It's all opposing. And the one who wouldn't cooperate with any of it is Biden. And you see what's happening to Biden.
The playbook comes out.
I wrote a column called Biden Year Time on Bill O'Reilly.com.
I hope everybody goes in to read it.
It's free.
And it basically lays out that the progressives don't want Biden, and they're going to destroy him.
And this is how they do it.
Well, it's deeper.
Biden, we just had on John Solomon, and Biden's son was flying all over the world.
I've had Peter Schweitzer on.
And as we dig deeper into Biden, beyond the whole creepy, I don't like people.
getting in my personal space. I hate it. And I don't like people that just feel that they're
entitled to go rub somebody in the back of their neck and offer them a massage. And I'll let all
other people decide what they're comfortable with. And now four people have come out against them.
I believe in due process. So I have no idea what's true or not. Let me go back to this
wealth tax thing, though. Fifteen European countries have tried it. All but four got rid of it.
I can guarantee you, if we go to a 70% top marginal rate and a 90% corporate rate,
that collapses the economy.
In a year, it's over.
In one year.
Guaranteed.
Look, I recommend to everybody who wants to really know what the truth is.
You know, the truth is important, even though the mainstream media in America does not seek it any longer, the truth is important.
There are two American cities, and Chicago will be the third now that they've allowed.
this mayor who is very, very far left, but there are two American cities that are totally
run by far left progressives. San Francisco and Seattle, they're both falling apart.
I mean, and I mean falling apart visually. You can walk down the street and see what the
philosophy of the government will take care of you leads to, because the government won't
take care of you. All right, you have to take care of yourself. And if you can't, you're going
to fail, whether you're in a communist nation, a socialist nation, or capitalist nation.
You go to Seattle, you go to San Francisco, and you look and see, is this what you want?
I bet all over the country like you have.
It's going to be critical mass here in America.
People are going to have to make a decision to rise up against this pernicious movement
and to speak out against it.
Stay right there.
Bill O'Reilly is with us, Bill O'Reilly.com.
I want to ask you when we get back about the desire to get rid of the old.
electoral college and the impact that would have on the country.
All right, as we continue, Bill O'Reilly is our guest, Bill O'Reilly.com, if you want to get his
columns and the latest on what he's writing every day.
All right, let me ask this.
So now you have Beto, Bozo, Robert Francis.
You've got Elizabeth Warren who wants the wealth tax.
You got Kamala that doesn't want any private health insurance.
But they all seem to agree on these two things.
Get rid of and abolish the electoral college and stack the Supreme Court.
The Electoral College, if you abolish that, that would mean New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, Oregon, will decide the president every year, every four years.
Yeah, the Electoral College is a con, and their founding fathers were very wise because they knew at the time the Constitution was drawn up that New York, Boston, and Philadelphia dominated the country, and you just couldn't have people elected from three cities.
and that's why the Electoral College came into being.
Now, it's California, New York, Texas, and Florida, and Illinois, those five states.
So if you can turn them all red, the conservatives would win.
If you turn them all blue, the liberals would win.
Five states out of 50.
Now, what this immigration border thing is all about, and again, no one will tell you this,
but this is the truth, is to turn Texas blue.
And if you look at the Beto O'Rourke, Ted Cruz, Cruz won by about 200,000 votes.
Not a lot.
And if you look at the precincts in Texas, considered a conservative state, all of the precincts dominated by Hispanic Americans vote Democrat, all of them.
And if they can flood the zone into Texas, the progressives by an open border policy and chain migration, you can turn Texas.
So, Florida has been turned.
Now, Florida is a battleground state.
That is what is going on with the immigration.
Turn the states blue.
And then when you get that, get rid of the electoral college,
and we can elect a president, we, the progressive left, based on five states.
That's what's happening.
Pretty chilling.
And my guess would be that a lot of the other states that are red are not going to want to remain in the United States,
which, by the way, are framers in their infinite wisdom predicted as well.
