Let's begin. So I'm a big football fan. I play college ball. And I follow the NFL most of all. And there's a guy named Aaron Rogers, Hall of Fame quarterback. And I think it's like 42 years old. Yeah, 42 years old. And he's still playing with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

So Rogers is a conservative individual. He's a little out there from time to time. He'll go on these sports chat shows and shake it on up. He's not a wild man, but he's one of the few professional athletes who will speak his mind and gets away with it. There aren't too many Hall of Fame quarterbacks floating around. So anyway, Aaron Rogers, for whatever reason, playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers now, decided to get involved with the Anthony Fauci controversy. Roll the tape. Like that absolute coward, Tony Foucher.

Absolute coward. Are you kidding me? Yeah, 111 times. You got a pardon and you're in front of you pleaded over 100. times at the White House? What are you scared of, Tony? I thought you were the science. Yeah, yeah. I thought you were, I am science and you get up there and he can't answer a question. Yeah. What are we doing? And how much time did the network spend to that? How much time did they spend on my responses every week, on my vaccination status, on Taylor and Travis's wedding?

Did they do even a minute? Did they do even a minute on Tony Fauci? No, I don't think I've heard anything. I bet they didn't. Yeah, they did. But they covered for him. So when Fauci testified last week, in front of the Senate subcommittee, he did, indeed, as Rogers said, took the Fifth Amendment, even though he has a pardon granted by President Biden. But that doesn't matter. Fauci has a right to take the fifth in any kind of official proceeding. And I'm a little bit surprised he did that. I thought his ego would kind of trump it and he'd want to explain himself because he wrote stuff in a private diary that was different than what he was telling we the people.

So let's have a little explanation here, Anthony. But no, his lawyer said, you're in trouble. Don't make it worse. Don't say anything. And that's what Fauci did. Now, back to Aaron Rogers. I think he reflects the majority of the American public, but not the media. So they covered for Fauci.

What does that mean? So a story like that has legs. That means that the initial story breaks, and Fauci takes a fifth, and then the press supposedly is to swing into action to figure out exactly, what Fauci did, what he said, how he said it, what his involvement was with the Wuhan lab. The press would pick all that up because here's a guy that was in the middle of COVID, and now he's taking a Fifth Amendment. So let's find out what he did, right?

That's what the press used to do. no longer. And the reason is that most of the television media and newspapers as well, but TV, CNN, networks, you know, MS, whatever it is, they were big Fauci supporters. They were big government lockdown people. And the science to science, the science, you know, how many times do we hear that was so boring? I was in the middle of that. I got my COVID shot, and I didn't get COVID.

I don't know what was in the COVID shot. I know that Eli Lilly, a big farmhouse, developed it at the behest of President Trump. Operation Warped Speed. And there were enough people outside of Anthony Fauci saying, this is a way to protect you and your family. Now, my daughter got COVID and my son got it. I did not get it. They were vaccinated.

So I'm sitting there going, what the deuce is going on? And I don't know. I'm not a chemist. I'm not someone who can analyze a vaccine. A man must know his limitations, as Clint Eastwood. once said. However, I thought that people should make up their own minds. Particularly when I saw in Europe that the country's there, most of them liberal, were opening the schools because the data, the science, said that COVID is not easily spread among children. So while we were locked down here,

the European kids went to school. That is a fact, and that caught my attention. So these countries like Finland or Switzerland, they're not going to put their own kids in danger. All right, so they did their own analysis. They weren't listening to Anthony Fauci. That was purely an American situation. So that was one big thing.

And then the other thing about Wuhan and Fauci's involvement, pumping almost $700,000 of tax money into the Wuhan lab before COVID broke out of the Wuhan lab, that was a little sketch. Was it not? It didn't matter to the liberal press. Now, why, this is the key question for Aaron Rogers and everybody else. Why would the left-wing press invest itself, with Tony Foucher. Remember, Trump brought him out, and here's why. The progressive movement and arch-liberals in the USA believe that we, the people, aren't smart enough or ethical enough, or anything enough, to run our own lives. So a giant colossus government has to tell us what to do, when to do it, what we can have, what we can't have. They will provide.

This is Mamdani all day long. The collectivism, the soft collectivism. The government will dictate how we all live. That's what happened in the Revolutionary War. What the King said, that was how the colonists lived. And the college said, you know, why we have had nothing? It is. But the communist movement today, I don't care about the king of the Revolutionate War, they want power. And so you are seeing this rise of the Mammondonis, the Bernie Sanders. Sanders is the most dangerous man in the country, Ocasio Cortez, and all these other people who are running for office, some of them successfully. Okay, they want to call all the shots.

That is called totalitarianism. That is what communist leads to everywhere. So Aaron Rogers may not know all this. He obviously doesn't like Fauci. He stated his case, and I'm happy to hear it. Most athletes will not do that because the reign of terror that comes down on them, if they oppose the liberal point of view, is pretty significant. It's like Aaron Rogers doesn't care much.

Here's my News Nation appearance with Leland Vitter. Bill, very simply, is warning about socialism, yelling about socialism enough for Republicans? It gives them an advantage, particularly if the Iran war doesn't get settled. And that's a big one. So if somehow President Trump can pull a victory out of the hat in the Middle East, that will change all the polling. And then he's putting pressure the president is on the oil companies that drop prices at the pump right now, which they probably will once this Iran thing gets wrapped.

So I tell everybody, look, you got three months here, a lot of stuff. is going to happen. And if you're buying into dopy polls now, they really are not going to mean much. You say dopey polls. So what does mean something right now if it's not how the American people say they feel? Well, it has to do with individual races.

So it's a good question you're asking. Most of these polls, if you stack them up against the presidential outcome, last time around. We're so far off. It was laughable. I use a polling outfit called Atlas out of Brazil.

And they were by far in a way the most accurate. Anyway, the problem the Democrats have is not a perception, but a reality. So you had Bernie Sanders over the weekend. Bernie Sanders is a dangerous man.

He's dangerous. He is a full-fledged communist totalitarian. So he's running around, and his headline in his speeches was that the government, the Democratic Party, will control child care. Now, I went to China a year ago. The Chinese government controls child care. Parents don't have much say in how their children are raised. Okay, they don't. The children go to school, they do what the government tells them to do.

That is what Bernie Sanders wants to impose on the United States. He'll never come out and say it clearly. but the big, giant, totalitarian state is what Sanders and his crew wants. Bill, I think you're making my point, though, right? Because we're going to pull down a soundbite. We're planning on playing it later on our show from Bernie Sanders about the establishment being out of touch. We're going to get to that when the control room can bring it to us.

But you're making my point. I'm asking you about what Republicans have to run on, and you're talking about Bernie Sanders and China and your visit over there. Well, that's because that's the big thing Republicans have to run on. Okay. That's the big thing they have to run on. So here's Bernie Sanders. Take a listen.

And you've heard a lot of people say that if you're not going to just kind of fit in nicely with the Democratic establishment, you shouldn't be a Democrat. Well, maybe the converse is true. Maybe the Democratic establishment should begin to understand they are way, way out of touch. Yes. with where the American people are. You and I are an agreement that what Sanders and what others in the Democratic Party

are talking about is dangerous, and it is also completely predictable where it ends. Go visit Cuba, go visit Moscow, where Sanders went in honeymoon, go visit China, whatever you want. We know how socialism ends. My question to you is this. Scaring people about what happens

if you vote for the other side didn't work for Democrats in 2024. People were angry about costs. You and I talked about how angry people were because things cost too much and they felt like Joe Biden and Democrats didn't care about people like them. So why is the same thing going to work for Republicans?

I don't know if it will work. I didn't predict it would work. I'm telling you that's their main issue now. So that's what they have. American do not. want a totalitarian communist government. They don't want it. Now, tomorrow and I had in the election, the nut in Michigan will probably win. But the turnout will be low. And it'll be true believers in the socialist, communist cause. And they'll throw him in. The Republicans

are overjoyed with this. As Trump said earlier, they believe Rogers will wax this guy because he's so crazy. So you believe that poll? He's so extreme. And I believe it too. No, I don't believe the poll. I know the state of Michigan. It is a divided state. But I don't believe they want communism in that state. I could be wrong. No, I think, look,

we don't know where this goes. But you're making an excellent point, which is that the American people don't want totalitarianism. They don't want communism. That is really, in effect, what a lot of these people say to a certain extent they want. The flip side of that is there is a lot of people who will come back and say Medicaid for all or Medicare for all, single payer health care, not totalitarian. How about giving a credit for people to be able to afford daycare for their kids, not totalitarian? that the hype from Republicans, the warnings, the dire warnings that you and others are issuing,

they just don't see. Well, I can't make them see what socialized medicine has done to the U.K. It's destroyed their medical system. It destroyed it. It is awful. And we will have, in a few weeks, on News Nation, the proof of that. Okay? I know.

You went to the... So Great Britain, right, we're going to do a special on News Nation, and Great Britain bought into the universal health care, and it's destroyed the quality of health care in Great Britain. They cannot carry it out. And that's a nation of what, 90 million, and we got 350 here? Oh, come on. And it's not about child care, Leland. Okay? That's what Sanders wants. It's about the government telling the children what to think, how to behave, circumventing the traditional parenting,

because the communists know that out in the heartland, those people are never going to buy into the communist movement, ever. get the kids. And it's happened in colleges, American colleges, very fine institutions, have collapsed under the weight of progressive politics. So don't say it's not possible. Bernie Sanders has got to be the happiest guy in the country. He never thought he would get this far. He never thought he'd get this far. So, again, I'm trying to understand.

where this is going to show up that you're saying. Ohio, Sherrod Brown leads John Houston, 48, 45. North Carolina, Roy Cooper, 53, Michael Watley, 44. Texas, James Tala Rico, 45, Ken Paxton, up 40. That is setting up for a situation where the American people are angry and are willing to vote for anybody other than, a Republican. You do analysis. Are you saying the only hope that Donald Trump has is wrapping up the war in Iran somehow, which seems unlikely right now, given the state of play, and that gas prices go down?

What has to happen for President Trump and his legacy is a victory over Iran, number one. Number two, lower prices for food and fuel will follow that victory, giving the regular folks some relief. I don't know how much. And then Trump himself, who's going to Michigan tomorrow, is going to have to campaign like hell to get the people's attention that you may not like us, but the other side, will destroy your well-being. So you think... And it will. So you think Trump with a 35% approval rating

is a net positive on the campaign trail in swing states? If he gets the win in Iran and the lower prices that should follow, that approval rating will go up quickly. And then he becomes a victorious wartime president. Is he intentionally sort of playing along the war in Iran in order to... have a victory closer to the midterms?

No. If he could get out of that thing now, tonight, he would. So he stopped. My own words haunt me. So in February, I talked to the president, just him and me. I said, this is the biggest gamble you have ever taken in your entire life, messing around with these people. They're irrational.

they are like the militants in Japan and World War II, in Germany in World War II, they're not going to surrender. It's going to be exceedingly difficult, and you can't count on the Persians to overthrow them. So my words haunt me because it's exactly how it came down. Yep. And you said those exact same words on this program as well. And now, as you point out, six months in, 90 days to go until the midterms, Bill O'Reilly. Thank you very much. Here's my weekly appearance with W.O.R.'s Mark Simone. Great podcast. The last episode was Dr. Oz. Fascinating conversation.

And I love the two of you talking about Fauci. Do you think that's it for Fauci? He's in hiding. He hasn't done any TV since those hearings. You think that means he knows? reputation is shot. He's not coming back. The story then advances to who the people were in the media

that propped him up and why did they do it? And we have come to the conclusion that the left-wing media, they don't have anything invested in Anthony Fauci. Remember that Trump was the guy who first

gave Fauci the forum but what they do want, and you'll see that played out tonight in Michigan in the primary vote there, is that the progressive left, and that is a lot of the mainstream media nowadays, and that's just crazy to me, but it's the way it's evolved in this country. They want a bigger government. They want a government that tells all of us what to do, when to do it, what we can have, what we can't have, And Fauci was a symbol of that.

So you've got to stand five feet apart. You can't go to school. You can't go to church. You've got to wear 18 masks. Whatever it may be. The left loved that, loved it. Because it took the decision-making out of the hands of the individual and gave it to the state, which is what socialism, communism, is all about.

Yeah, you're right. So for the first time, the government took total control of everybody's lives. It was a perfect situation. But they love to build up these gods, create these kings, Fauci. They did it with Cuomo for a while during the pandemic, Governor Cuomo. But they always picked the wrong guy. Don't they realize that? No, they don't.

They'll never realize anything. because this is so fascinating because you know you and I think I've been in the business longer than anybody else in New York City, Simone and O'Reilly. So it's a hybrid and I'll give you a really good example. So when Fauci went in and embarrassed himself, and he did, and the far left that supported him by taking the Fifth Amendment, the next day, the dictum. came down from the corporate people who run the networks. Okay, we run them.

And it said, go light on Fauci. Now, if you're sitting there on any network program and you are an anchor or a pundit and you disobey, you're done. Finished. Okay? So they all step in line. And that includes on the right as well, because this happens in conservative precincts, too. Yeah.

And you cannot defy your masters, your corporate masters, because your paycheck will stop. They'll find a way to get you. And so when you get that kind of a situation where the news presenters, as they call them in Great Britain, Are mercenaries first? Mercenaries. Then all sentence of fairness and looking out for the folks disappears. And that's what has happened across the board, not just with Anthony Fauci, but across the board in this country. Yeah.

I like the idea, though, getting these guys in front of a committee, put them on trial. How about Jack Smith? How about Comey trying that next? Yeah, the embarrassment of factor is pretty high. Smith is now the next in line. He'll do the same thing now. I mean, there was a reason that Biden pardoned all these guys. So the Biden didn't know what was going on.

He didn't even know who they were. But the auto pen or whatever they used to do the pardons, the Biden staff knew, as the Trump staff knows, that once their guy left office, that the opposition is going to come after him. So you're going to see when Donald Trump's last few weeks in office, he's going to issue blanket pardons to his family members to all kinds of people. Yeah.

Because exactly he knows that once he's out of there, they're going to come after his machine, and he's going to afford them a level of protection, I believe. Yeah. Hey, Bill O'Reilly, would you agree that Joe Biden is out of it? Obama kind of hides it. He's not really very public. Would you agree that right now Bernie Sanders is like the leader publicly of the Democratic Party, the strongest voice?

Oh, he's the most dangerous man in the country by far. You must be reading my mind or my script, Simone. That's my lead tonight on the no-spin news. That's my lead story. Wow. that Bernie Sanders, Senator from Vermont, Little State, who was up into recently considered a crank, a crackpot, is now the leader of the progressive movement in America. He's got to be deliriously happy. He never in his whole life thought this would happen. Sanders never thought that he would get where he is today. He's always been a communist, always.

And he came out of Brooklyn. Like a lot of hippies did, he marched on up to Vermont where it's cheap to live, establish a power base, and said, okay, I'll be a communist, nobody will pay attention to me. All we have up here are cows. And now he is the most powerful person in the Democratic Party. He's a kingmaker. And, you know, they say Ocas and Cortez and all these. these other nuts, they need him.

It's like Trump with the Republican Party. Even now, when Trump is kind of wavering, and I hope this harangued Iran stuff goes his way, he's still by far the most powerful person in Republican Party. Bernie Sanders is the most powerful person, Democratic Party. But every time the Democrats go way too far the left, we've seen it historically, they always lose in the end.

So this is not going to end well for them, is it? I don't think it will, but I am also very wary of how tech social media and AI has changed the way Americans, how Americans assimilate information. So it's in three sentences now. So you don't have to take a course anymore. I mean, the mail I get is stunning. It's absolutely stunning. And I get a lot of it.

Cross the board, YouTube, and Bill O'Reilly.com, all of that. And it pours in 24-7. And I got to tell you, 75% of the people who write to me, and most of them are good people, don't know what is going on in this country. They actually believe that you can prosecute someone for being a communist. Why isn't Bernie Sanders in jail? Why aren't they prosecuted? For what?

He's a perfect right to be a communist under our constitution. They don't know that. And so there's a shift, a profound shift in understanding how the American government works. And that is going to have a real deleterious effect in the future, because you're going to be able to con people. You know, Lincoln said you can fool some people some at a time, but not all the time or whatever he said. Well, now you can feel younger people in particular all the time, all the time. Just put it out and keep saying it over and over and over and they're going to buy it.

And that's a different scenario. But I don't believe that the American, the average working person wants a big government to live. their life for them. I do not believe they do that. And once they get on to the mandamis of the world and the people who are trying desperately to take away individualism, you heard a quote, the brutal individualism next to the cuddly, warm, filling of collectivism, right? And I'm saying on myself, my God, they don't even try to hide it anymore. They're not even trying to hide it. and there are enough people that are putting some of these loons in office. Well, Bill O'Reilly, we're out of time.

But, hey, the podcast is great. You should watch Bill O'Reilly's podcast. We'll do it live. Who do you got a new guest coming up this week? Ben Shapiro. Oh, very good. Very smart guy. So we'll drop him on Thursday.

And this is a fascinating story because he was once the darling. of the right wing on the media. And now he's involved in all kinds of this is warfair. So we get the bottom of it. Well, watch that episode when it comes out Thursday. But take a look at all the episodes that are out there. We'll do it live, Bill O'Reilly's podcast. Bill O'Reilly, thanks for being with us.

Chris Cuomo and I duke it out on News Nation. Good to have you. Bill, last night, Dr. El-Sayed wins in Michigan. His platform becomes this call and response that he does every time he speaks. Get money out of politics, put money in people's pockets, pass Medicare for all. And he says, I am a capitalist, and I care about Michigan. And he beat the Democratic incumbent that they were pushing on him from the House to run for Senate. He was outspent eight to one.

He still won. You say he's a gift to Mike Rogers. How? Well, because the Republicans will coalesce around Rogers, they're not going to be a lot of dissent. And that party will, there will be dissent in the Democratic precincts. Look, politicians say what they want to say. You know that. If you look back at El Saeed's previous statements about the border, about the police, it's clear the man is a radical progressive. Now, whether he's a communist or socialist, doesn't matter much to me.

He's a danger, in my opinion, to public safety. I don't care what he says. You can say anything you want if you're a politician. But what he is put out there is certainly as radical as it gets, open borders. My God. Did he not see the Spanish thing? He says he's not in favor of open borders. He says he's in favor of abolishing ISIS currently constructed because they're violating the law.

But I've got to correct the record for the audience, right? Because he doesn't say open borders. So when you say open borders, oh my gosh. You know, I don't. The record has to correct what you're saying. No, the record has changed five times. I mean, if that were the basis, there'd be a lot of lawmakers that aren't in office.

And I don't know that it's changed five times with El Salle. I don't do. I know you don't. I know you don't because we know why you don't. You don't do what about. I wouldn't if I were you either. I know you don't. Okay.

And you'd be smart not to because it's an infantile. way to analyze the news. No, it's a way to hide from who's the president. Go ahead. Okay, now, let me make a couple of points. I'll say it started as a very, very radical person, and then he kind of morphed into not so radical. So to say and take it face value, what he's saying now is a leap of faith to use a

cliche. But it doesn't really matter, does it? because the Democratic Party, as you pointed out, doesn't like him. They don't want him. They don't want people like him. Whether he's a true radical or not, it is just spoiling the whole Democratic message. So you have to assume, and African-American votes will be big on this, I have to assume that the Democratic Party is going to fight among itself, while the Republican Party is not.

They're going to coalesce around them. They're going to demonize them. They're going to say, this is Bernie Sanders Light. That's what they'll do. And that will drive people to the poll. Now, who wins? A lot of outside money will come in, a lot. And it's up to people to evaluate the histories of Rogers and Al Say,

that's what you have to evaluate what they have said in the past. and then make a determination because politicians will tell you anything you want to hear, Cuomo, and you know that. Look, I mean, if it were a veracity contest, our elections would come out very differently than they have in the near past. What I'm saying is,

I don't think that that analysis makes sense in the general. It makes sense in the primary. But now the Democrats, you just saw, everyone who ran against them was standing behind El Cayed. The party says they're fully with him. now. And you can see that as hypocritical. You can see that as whatever you want to see it. But in the general, they have a registration advantage. It's a Democratic seat, right? Peters is abandoning the seat, right? The sitting senator. And Mike Rogers is not exactly

a new and shiny thing. He is a MAGA, you know, establishment guy. Look, I don't know much about Rogers, but I do know that the polls, the latest polls say. And they've got him either tied or within one of El Saeed. Or up. Or up. Or up. Or up. But remember, El Saeed has been getting his ass kicked by his own party.

Now that's going to change. Now they're not going to say the same things. That will continue. That will continue. Why? Because the smart Democrats don't want to be tied to Bernie Sanders's progressive, communist, socialist, whatever you want to label it, movement. They don't.

Well, he says he's a capitalist, but they'd rather lose a Senate seat. They'd rather lose a Senate seat. There's a lot of people going to stay home. And the African-American vote, which I'm studying now, they progressives do very poorly, even in New York City and do as well, nearly as well as they thought they would, with Mandani. I don't know why exactly, but we're looking at it. But when you have a divided party against a party that is together, that is an advantage for the party that is together.

Yeah, I just, I don't know that your assumption is right, but you're right. Being divided is harder than being united. I agree with you in a bipartisan system. What I'm saying is it's one thing in the primary. Look, we see this all the time, which is in the primary we hate each other, but then when it's against the other guys, especially in this toxic to some that our party politics is we got to come together because the last thing we want is, you know, as Democrats would say, is another Trumper, especially in a blue seat.

So I don't understand that motivation. Then I will enlighten you. Please. There hasn't been in my lifetime a movement as radical as a Bernie Sanders led progressive movement. This took me by surprise. I'm two years ago, if you were to say, hey, they're going to be a big communist element and it's going to get traction. I went away.

What are you talking about? But who's a communist? Who's a communist? Who's a communist? The means of production is what people like Mamdami want to control. All you got to do is look it up, okay? The means of production. They wants to control that.

He's making his drive to control it. He's the mayor of New York City. he has done nothing to take away private property. He's taxing, he's doing other things that he said he was going to do when he was running. But this socialist thing, let alone communism, there's not a communist country in the face of the planet. I know you don't buy it. It's a boogeyman. It's quite clear you don't buy it.

People believe what they want to believe. But he's frozen rents in New York City. That's the first step. Now he wants grocery stores to undercut other grocery stores. The guy is called classic Marxist person. Yesterday, it was amazing because Bernie Sanders. But he's the mayor of New York City. He's not the entire party, right?

I mean, it's like you can have a guy who is out there. But you asked. And the people where he ran wanted him. No, but I'm saying that why do you think that that's going to, I know, but why do you think that that will affect all democratic races, one mayor? because it's basically a radical movement. When a Bernie Sanders is the most dangerous man in the country, he goes out and says,

you know, we want to control children. Okay? We want to control children. And you're going, okay, that's what they do in every communist country. So what that means is universe. He said it yesterday. Universal child care.

What universal child care is is you take the tyke at age four or five. He goes through a system of left-wing academia. He comes out into Columbia University and presto. You've got a little replicant running around spouting Bernie Sanders stuff. You sound like a red scare guy from 1955.

I get your theory of the case. We'll see how it plays out and we'll see it together. Thank you for being with us. Please join me and Sid Rosenberg on WabC Radio. So right now, Rand Paul and Ron Johnson and all these guys are on the hill making this very impassioned argument that they should hold Tony Fauci in contempt. What do you think happens, if anything, with this Rand Paul attempt? I don't know. Because there's no real reason other than to expose Fauci as a charlatan and a deceiver to chase him around.

And, you know, this has been done by Congress. We have so many more important things to deal with here. I think Fauci's through, although maybe you can tell me this. So I'm looking for advice from Sid, which is never a good thing. Never. No. I agree. Why are liberal people continuing to stick up for Anthony Fauci?

Now, I got my theory, but I'm saying, look, the guy deceived you. why are you still touting him as some kind of hero? And they do on television. You see it. I'm going, what do you have to do in this country to get through to people that, you know, I'm not a good guy that I did all this because I wanted to be vain, glorious, word of the day. And that's exactly what he wanted to be.

And now I'm exposed, and I have to embarrass myself and embarrass the government, and embarrass everybody. And you're still sticking up for me. Wait a second. You're telling me that the same people who will never utter the name Lake and Riley or the thousands, thousands. That's a real number, bill,

of innocent people slaughtered by illegals in this country. They'll never say that name, but they'll say pretty and good a million times over in their attempt to abolish ice. You mean the same people that referred to President Trump as a Nazi and a pedophile? You mean those people? Those?

Yeah, but those, I understand the activism and I understand the viciousness. This is the same thing. Same thing. Same thing. But when you are exposed and when you see before your eyes what a fraud this Fauci was, and then it was delighting in his fraudness, I don't know how you can have supper with Jay Tapper once, twice? Twice.

Would you get hypnotized before you went in there? But what these people are saying, because I've got the same curiosity that you've got, and I don't get it either, okay? What they're saying is there's nothing in those diaries that's incriminating enough to tell you that Fauci was killing people. Was he being dishonest? Sure. Did he love the attention?

Sure. But the Republicans, they're taking it a step further. front of this guy as a murderer. He didn't do that. He was trying to find answers, just like everybody else was, during a very scary time. That's what they say. It's pathetic,

but that's what they say. But his own diaries contradict that. Do they completely? Almost. I mean, I'll give you one very vivid example. So Fauci didn't know what

the origin of COVID was. So he consulted, and this is according to his own diary, he consulted about a dozen experts all over the world, and overwhelmingly it came back that this had to be a weaponized virus in Wuhan, China, that somehow wind out with $650,000 of U.S. tax money. Okay? Now, He actually was told that directly by more than one person. He didn't want that out because he knew that that 650 was going to come back at him. So he continued the charade. No, two bats got together in some cave. Oh, come on.

So when you have vivid exam, then you go on CNN or wherever, and you have these people sitting around getting paid, said, oh, no, he's not so bad. Yeah, he's bad. He's bad. That's bad. Okay? And the lack of outrage, I think Americans got to stop and step out of this ideology and say, look,

when we're hosed, when you screw us on our kids, because you're sending kids back to school, you're denying kids' school, I should say. They don't have to be denied. They're going to school in Germany and Sweden. Okay. Then you have to get angry and leave the ideology on the shelf. You would think and hope, but they're not. They're actually asking right now the Democrats to table the contempt vote because they don't want to see their good buddy.

Tony Fauci, get into trouble. It really is grotesque. All right, Bill, here it is. This is, in my opinion, the audio of the day. And it speaks to a very, what I think is a very scary story. I'd probably ask you this before, but it's worth asking again, let me first place. what I believe is the audio of the day, President Trump talking about the latest winner in Michigan. And you do that. You go through squalor and add the word again, filth, crime, death, destruction, embarrassment.

You lose your home. You lose your apartment. And that's where the communist will take us 100%. When I watch Abdul, he's full of shit. This guy hates Jews. Somebody said, oh, that's a little strong. No, he hates Jews, and he hates Israel. Abdul El-Sead. Can you believe this? Abdul El-Said, lovely gentleman. He's a man of hate.

And now he's going around saying, no, I love everybody. He doesn't love everybody. Put him in office. You're going to find out what he loves. He doesn't love Israel. He doesn't love Jewish people. He hates him. He hates him with a passion that burns in his heart

and there's not a freaking thing he can do about it. There's not a thing he can do about it because he hates him. See, that 63 seconds is exactly why I love and adore my friend. He is my friend and yours too. President Trump, a great, but on a bigger note, El-Sayed wins and he tells people one story and they buy it. He's another one, another one of these communists, Jew-hating communists winning somewhere in this country, how scary is that for Bill O'Reilly?

I'm not scared of this guy or the others that are under this banner, but I am afraid of the growing ignorance of the American public. That really is disturbing. There's a lot of that in my book, confronting America what has to change, which is out in September around Daniel's birthday. Okay? That really bothers me because a guy like I said, he's going to lose to Rogers. So he's not going to be a senator. Roger will wax them in Michigan because there's just too many questions about this guy. I raised them last night on News Nation.

They weren't answered, of course. and there'll be a deflection. No, he's not that bad. And there's no, he's changed his mind. And don't believe any of that. There is a hardcore communist element to the Democratic Party. Again, step out, step out of your ideology and just see it because it is there and it is provable.

But the American people, the people who voted for us, A.N., what's wrong with them? that's what really bothers me. What is wrong with you? I'm expecting these crazy people to step up because this is their time. This is their moment. Bernie Sanders is the most deliriously happy person on Earth. He never thought he'd get close to the power that he had.

I know. He did think he ran for president a couple of times. And he was actually winning. Everybody ignored him and laughed at him. Well, and not initially he actually made some noise in that Hillary Clinton year. But yeah, but it was never as serious. No, no, no, I know.

The money. No, I know. You didn't, you know. But my question to you is answer your own question, if you would, because you're a very smart guy. The smartest guy, I know. I'm not just patronizing. I mean that. Why are these people doing this, these voters?

I think there are two things going on here. One is among the younger voters, 35 down in America, that they are so cynical and detached from the system, the political system. They just don't want anything to do with it. So they're kind of like destroyers. They go, okay, if Mandami is going to blow things up, I'll vote for Mandami. There's a little bit of that in the Trump vote because the rank and file Democrats, Republicans, I should say, they were shocked that so many Republicans dumped Jeff Bush and the others, Tom Cruz and Rubio and went for a populist with no political experience, but they were fed up. The conservative movement was fed up.

They wanted a populist leader. It's the same thing on the other side. They're fed up, and for different reasons. Oh, they're fed up with people like Chuck Schumer. That's what they're fed up. Yes, they want free stuff, all right? And they don't want to talk about it. I don't know why.

All right. And that's what it is. If you took all the free stuff away, how many votes you think Bandami would have gotten? But listen, and I do get some free stuff because I'm famous and so to you. But on a serious note, you know what I met, Danielle? I met her in economics class. It's a true story.

You mentioned Danielle's birthday, the next book coming out. I met her an economics class in college. I had this wonderful Australian professor. He since died of a brain tumor. And I remember I was half drunk. I was sitting there so many years ago, you know? And the first thing he said, the very first thing he said he wrote it on the blackboard was, there is no free lunch.

First thing he said, economics class. I would imagine teachers still say the same thing or professors, whether it's Michigan or Rutgers or Seton Hall. So that's the first thing you learn in economics 101. Why would these morons who vote for people like El Sayed and Mamdani believe they really can get free stuff? because there's another sentence that has been added to that. Oh, there has? Yeah.

There is no free lunch unless you're a victim. Ah, that's brilliant, Bill O'Reilly. Brilliant! It's true. What the Democrat and liberal progressive movement is selling is you don't have a chance. You can't live in a nice house. You can't get a good job because the billionaire is, are going to prevent it.

Some insane thing like that. Right. There's no accident that Bernie Sanders never goes on any form that would challenge him. Because he can't answer the question. So all he is, is a one-trick pony that gets out there and fosters discontent among younger people.

He's also living a complete lie because he's the one saying that you take money away from rich people. And Bernie Sanders, if you don't know this, I know most of you do, he's very rich, very. Yeah, and if you look into that,

how he got rich, because his wife brought in the big dome, it's pretty sorted. What happened up there in Vermont? Oh, really? I was not a legitimate thing, my opinion. Now, the second aspect to the why people vote for Said and Mandami is they're stupid. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. These are stupid people. I really don't want to insult any of Sid's audience about.

30% of whom are stupid. Not my audience. No, no, no, my audience, and vote from Mom Donia, I can promise you that. But Cuomo's audience, that I can't promise you. Honestly. The dumb people are at sports radio. But I walk out, everybody knows me, in the world,

not just in the United States. And I'm nice to be, but they want to picture, or they want me to sign something. I'll be happy to do that. But I always ask them questions. about where they're from and what they do for living, whatever they may be. And it used to be that cogent answers were easy to get. Now, not so easy to get.

And then they're, you know, people. Give me an example. Give me an example of this because I find this fascinating. So they walk up, you'll build a raleigh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you ask, give me an example of a question you may ask, and now the answer that you're not going to get. Okay. So I'm walking around out on East and Long Island where I am right now. And somebody would come up and whatever they, you know, if they're polite and respectful, you know, be happy to.

So I'll say to them, what do you do for a living? Mostly men, because, you know, women and got the little kids and what are you doing for living? Well, I'm this first. I work here. I say, you got any trouble meeting your mortgage? You got any trouble feeding you? Now we have food, self, deficiency, you know, whatever crazy thing it is. And the answer comes across, no.

Yeah. I said, well, then, you know, what is your friends that vote contrary to you, the way you might, why they think they can't get a house or food or what, what's going on? Never an answer. Never an answer. Right. Okay. Right.

And it's like a glaze goes over their eyes. Right. Because people are now starting to create their own worlds on their phones and computers. So you don't have to go into the real world. You don't have to confront what's true and what isn't true. You don't have to seek any knowledge. All you do is hold up this screen and you can then create whatever you want to create. Yeah.

That is really having a tremendous impact. on how the USA votes. And they're susceptible to propaganda, though. If you don't know anything, you'll buy anything, right? That's Lincoln. I've said something like that. You'll buy anything. And I don't know. I'll find out.

There's enough vehicles where you can take your phone and actually learn something from it. But no, I want to play Terminator Aid or whatever they're doing. And that kind of disturbs me because I'm seeing the population dumbing down. I see it too. It's unfortunate, but I see it too. And not just the games you're talking about. I mean, I podcasts, people out there that have no right talking for three or four hours out of time

because they're also stupid and hateful and they don't really know anything. And they're trying to make money. They're trying to make money. And they're getting millions of people to buy into. of their nonsense. Seriously. Yeah, for about 20 minutes. It's not something.

I don't know. I want to see. I got Ben Shapiro. We're dropping him today. I love Ben Shapiro. He's great. But he's a bad guy. But he's genocidal.

What's wrong with you, Bill? He's genocidal. What's the matter with you? So Shapiro comes on the program. And I don't live in this world. I don't live in his internet world. But I'm aware of it. And I know the effect it has on my children,

on my friends, and I understand that. So I was happening to get Shapiro on, so he could define what the deuce he actually does. What do you do? And it's funny, but it's also clarifying. What did he say? Then we run down all the feuds. Yeah, is that a lot.

Fudes, feuds equate into money. Right. So I'm running down Candace Owens. I'm running down Tucker Claus, and I'm running down Megan Kelly. And I'm not disparaging them. I'm saying to Shapiro, why are you fighting with this person? What's the genesis of this? And it's so fascinating to me because, again, I don't live in that world.

Right, right, right. Okay. Yeah. But you're absolutely right. People get caught up up to their eyebrows in this stuff. I know. I know. Now, look, Shapiro takes it a step further because forget about his feuds with Tucker or Candice or those morons.

You know that a couple of weeks ago, Iran put out a bunch of pictures and they actually put red bullets, you know, the bullseye in the middle of people's foreheads. It was a couple days before Lindsey Graham died. That's why there was all that controversy who really killed Lindsay. And President Trump is on that list. and Laurel Lumer and Marco Rubio, not J.D. Vance. How about that? But Ben Shapiro is on that list of people that Iran wants to assassinate. So, for what it's worth, he's gone next level, Bill.

That's a big deal. When a country wants to him. Obviously, he's an Orthodox Jew who is loyal to Israel. Yeah. I don't see him as a threat. No. No. No.

I was happy to talk to him. Did he do it here? Did he come up from Boko Raton and do it in your studios? No, we did it remote. Okay, he's in Florida. Yeah. But, you know, my younger staff members are really jazzed. To me, I've interviewed everybody in the world except the Pope who's dodging me,

and I keep sending him a letter to luck. I'm really a good Catholic. You've got to give me an interview. But I learned a lot from Shapiro in the way how things work. Yeah. and what the point of view is. But it has absolutely addicted millions of people all over the world. And when you are side-shadowed by any addiction,

and you know this better than anybody on the planet, you lose all perspective. Yep, it's true. No, you're 100% right. I can't wait to watch Ben Shapiro. He's at Israel First guy like Levine and Rosenberg and all those horrible Jews. Your podcast is great. I get so, I mean, every week,

Are you doing more than one a week? I feel like I'm seeing bases on there like twice a week. No, we only do one a week. I'm going to be in the grave soon if I don't stop. Oh, you really do got to take some time off. I know. Yeah, I mean, I'm doing the NOSPN News, and that is a news broadcast, so that takes a lot of time.

Then we do it live. And then we do radio or commentary for you and 300 other stations. And so I'm sending myself, you know, I'm going to be in a jar somewhere. No, God forbid. On News Nation, too. You're doing TV with Chris Cuomo, too? Every week. Yeah, that's kind of easy.

News Nation makes it easy for me to do that. Oh, good, okay. Although the angst that I have to suffer. You're the best. Bill O'Reilly, this was another fascinating and great, amazing conversation. Seriously, enjoy the beach. Take a little time for yourself. We'll do it again next week.
