The Hulu original series Furious is coming to Disney Plus, starring Emmy Rossum. Furious follows FBI agent Alice Black on the hunt for a mysterious and calculating serial killer. Both walk their own paths toward justice, and as their lives start to intertwine, the line between right and wrong begins to blur. Don't miss the three-episode premiere of the Hulu original series Furious on July 27th, only on Hulu on Disney Plus. O'Reilly, you're listening to Around the World. Let's begin. Paramount, the entertainment company, is buying Warner Brothers, the entertainment company. Okay? And it's a big deal. It's like more

than $100 billion or whatever. And the Justice Department has okayed the sale, saying it's not a monopoly. It can go through. And so Warner Brothers will evaporate. Now Warner Brothers puts out CBS News, CNN, mostly a liberal corporation. Paramount is run by the Ellisons who are not liberal. So this is causing a lot of trouble. Now, you have heard in the past, I'm sure, people say, oh, no, CNN and NBC and ABC News. They're not liberal.

No, no, no, they're not fair. Now, if you believe that, we could do the bridge analogy, okay? But, come on. I mean, believe what you see and hear. So 12 states are furious and they're suing for antitrust violations. They don't want this sale. They're pointing to the Clayton Act, which says that states can have relief when they believe a merger threatens competition. Okay, but anybody can believe anything.

and the Justice Department has the power, federal law, Trump's state law, even in civil matters, to do this. So these states, these liberal states, are going to lose, in my opinion. All right, California is the lead on it. We all know what the state. California, New York, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington. other than Nevada, which is kind of a split situation, they're all left-wing states. And the attorneys general decide who they're going to sue and what they're not going to sue. So I got a kick out of now the indignation on the left, which is a stranglehold over television.

You know, you know that, Kimmel and Colbert and all the news agencies, and I mean all of them, except for Fox. Now, oh, no, no, no, no, we can't have this sale. The worst of the worst is Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut. Don't. But the biggest problem is that this is a nightmare for free speech, because the Ellison family, which is going to run Paramount and Warner Brothers, which includes both CBS and CNN, have made it clear that they are going to to do whatever Trump wants? Well, number one, nobody's made it clear they're going to do whatever Trump wants. And Murphy couldn't back that up in a second.

And number two, free speech, Senator, free speech. We have run down the statistics that show, prove that a conservative author, pundit, movie maker, anybody not liberal cannot get on CNN and CBS News. They're banned. Free speech? What a crock. Okay? But this is the propaganda game.

Oh, free speech. Like, you have it now? You don't. Maybe Paramount under the Ellisons will book across the board, which is what they should do, which is what I did for more than 20 years on Fox. You don't see too many liberals on Fox anymore, but when I was there, we had liberals every day because we wanted that spirited debate. And this is worse. So you remember this guy, Jim Acosta, who got booted out of CNN. He was too radical for CNN, this guy, Acosta. Roll him.

I can only report to you what I see with my own eyes, an assault on our freedom of speech and the free press in America by the most powerful man in the world, who is taking us all down the road of Putin or China-style state-dominated or state-controlled media in this country, owned by the oligarchs in service to Trump and MAGA, all in the name of special treatment for the wealthiest Americans at the expense of everyone else. Ladies and gentlemen, the news does not belong to the oligarchs. It belongs to us. Yes, sure. Number one, the oligarchs run Hollywood. Hey, Jim, hello. They run it. Top to bottom.

The left wing oligarchs run Hollywood. What are you talking about? It's so, and this whole thing is, Oh, oh, MAGA, oh, Trump did it. Now, is it true that Donald Trump wants a media that's kinder to him? Yes. Wouldn't you? Every day the hate Trumpers like Acosta and Murphy come out, and they have forums all over the place.

I call up ABC News, Good Morning America. I say, hey, I've got a big book coming out. I'll probably break number one confronting America, what has to change. Can you book me on GMA? There's no way. Even though I've been on that program before this progressive propaganda wave many times, and they always got high ratings. Now?

There's no way. That's freedom of speech? Yeah, the oligarchs are controlling, but they're controlling it from your side. Acosta, so dishonest. And that's what really rankles me. Now, this case is being heard in the Northern District of California, which means that they'll rule against Paramount because that's where the court is and that's what they do. It's a liberal situation. But then on appeal, it'll come back and it'll be federal law supersedes state law. So this merger will go forward.

And just as a kicker, you still don't believe me, all right, here are the people that have already left. Paula Reid, she quit CNN to join MS. Now, she was supposed to be a reporter. What are you doing? Stephanie Elam, same thing. Raphael Solomon, same thing. All quit CNN going over to liberal networks.

Scott Pelly, Sharon Alphonsey, Cecilia Vega, they were fired because they were biased. And Anderson Cooper says he didn't want to work for them? Good. Good. Don't. So we all know what the game is. And this is a very interesting case and we will follow it. Here's my News Nation appearance with Leland Vittert. Today, Trump posted a clip from my May interview with Bill O'Reilly.

Wiley then warned Republicans need to stay close to Trump. If you think that you can cut loose the most charismatic populist president in the last 50 years, you're crazy. You can't. And if you try, you're going to get slaughtered. Why do you think the president reposted that clip of you today? What message was he trying to send? Well, he knows how brilliant I am and wants to be associated with that brilliance, you know. What I said is absolutely true. It's going to be a very close midterm election bet machine or not. And that if you are in a Republican precinct and you go against a still popular leader, you'll lose.

That's just analysis. It's not partisanship. So you think Susan Collins, for example, in Maine should get a lot closer to Donald Trump? I'm not sure about Ms. Collins. That's a totally unique situation in Maine, particularly with the shooting from ICE up there. That's a crazy situation. But on a standard voting scenario, you stick with the winner. And so that was the message that I put out there, and apparently the president liked it.

Do you believe, as I do, that Thursday's speech is about trying to press. pressure the Senate to pass the SAVE Act and dot, dot, dot, why spend political capital on something that's not going to happen? It's a good question. I have to see what he's got. And it's not fair to analyze something we don't know. So if the president has really hard information that Russia, and that's what we're talking about, got into our electoral system and influenced the vote no matter how they did it, And nation needs to hone in on that. That's not just a frivolity.

Now, knowing Donald Trump, he can deal with six or seven other issues, which I think he's going to have to, particularly Iran, as that heats up over there. And then there's the affordability, which I wrote a column on pillo Riley.com. I hope you're read it. And he should read all my columns. Yeah, I do. Okay. I have an email alert for them, Bill. But I want to get back to this, okay?

Because you investigated the 20- No, no, no, let me make my point. Affordability, we just heard it on Cuomo show. He brings on a guy who wrote a book. Cuomo asks a logical question. How do you deal with affordability? The guy totally, totally avoids the question. Dodgers a question.

Because he doesn't have anything. The Democrats don't have anything. no solutions. Now, if Trump takes the time on, is it tomorrow night or Thursday night? Thursday night. Okay. Takes the time to explain affordability and what his administration is doing, that would be a good thing for the president to do. So he's got affordability, he's got Iran, and he's got Russia poking around in our vote. You can cover those three things, and I hope he does. Okay, so you investigated the 2020 claims by President Trump six years ago.

You lost a lot of viewers and subscribers to Bill O'Reilly.com because you didn't believe him. He said the evidence isn't there. I questioned Trump's claims during the 2020 elections because I didn't see the evidence and wasn't being provided. I was invited not to return to my job because of it. What evidence would there need to be to make just politically relitigating something that is terrible for Republicans to talk about worth it? Well, Putin did this, Putin did that. Arizona was impacted this way. Michigan was impacted that way.

Specific, specific, specific. Now, look, back in 20, I didn't know. have subpoena power, I don't have it now. So my investigation is dependent upon people who are on the scene like William Barr, the Attorney General at the time. So I'm in the leaning on him to guide me into an area of yes or no, if it's yes, how big is it? We also checked in with the Supreme Court Justice Alito, who was in Pennsylvania overseeing this. Now, Barr and Alito, both honest men in my opinion, didn't have enough to present it to the Justice Department. That's the fact. Yep. But maybe now

there's more. So what's wrong with hearing the more? I'm not, it's a question whether it's right or wrong or anything else to hear it. I'm thinking from a political standpoint, every time Donald Trump brings up 2020, it is harmful to Republicans because every Republican is forced to answer for it by the media. Fair or not, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Again, what needs to be there to make it worth it to re-litigate this? Hard evidence that Russia did X, Y, and Z, and it paid off for Biden. Do you think Fox News gets their $787 million back? No, because that's a totally different story. I know. Okay, look, you're an honest journalist, I'm an honest journalist. We did our best to find out the level of voter fraud accusations. We don't have subpoena power. We can't go into state records. But in my estimation, and I believe yours, we came to the conclusion in the public arena there was not enough to challenge this election. Now, that could change on Thursday night.

No, it certainly could. It certainly could. This appears to be tied to this last-ditch effort to pass the SAVE Act. And President Trump, when talking about Lindsey Graham, I'm going to get your thought on that in a second, said that this was the most important thing to Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham was a pragmatist. He knew the votes weren't there in the Senate. They're not there. Why keep pushing for this if it's not what Trump will blame a midterm loss on? Republicans lose.

He says, look, it's not me. It is the fact that the Senate did not pass the SAVE Act. They weren't Trumpy enough. It's Republicans' fault. Because it's passionate on his part. It enveloped him. And he believes it 100% that there was vote of fraud. It's not like a policy.

This is personal, like in the Godfather. Okay? It's business, not personal, Sonny. This is personal to him. Yep. And always has been. I mean, it drove him nuts to lose to Biden. He does not believe that that election was fair.

So psychologically, I understand, if you're going to get new information, you put it out. You put it out there. All right. I want to get you on Lindsey Graham, because I think both you and I had a lot of respect for him. They have disagreed or agreed, but a lot of respect for him. Here is part of your interview with Lindsey Graham, one of the last before he died.

Does it know anything? Well, have you seen that across the board? Here's what I've seen. When I first started this business, you got rewarded for, problem solving. And, you know, sort of knowing what you're talking about. All the energy now is to loud. Not knowledgeable, just loud.

I was her talking, him talking about AOC. President Trump, who I know you speak to a lot, I think he feels like he lost a real friend and ally here. Well, he did. He liked Graham. Graham would play miniature golf with them or whatever they're doing out there. I don't know what they're doing. You always got a dog golf.

Why do you always have to dog golf? I have many reasons, but I don't want to waste time on it now. The windmill confuses me. He trusted, Trump trusted Lindsey Graham, and Trump does not trust many elected politicians. That was number one. Now, what's interesting about that interview, it was the last extensive interview that Senator Graham gave, is that Senator Graham's passions were built around the nobility of America, that we must use hard power to right wrongs, like I wrote, in confronting

evil. And you can see the whole interview on Bill O'Reilly.com. We have the whole thing. It's 45 minutes long. And he has never wavered from that, Lindsey Graham. He basically says, I'm a hard power guy. If there's something wrong in the world, something niche. needs to be corrected, we're the only one's going to do it. Now, there is a soft power crew

led by Barack Obama who see it the opposite way, but that's a good debate to have. And Graham, I was on a phone call, I guess I shouldn't even say this, but I was on a phone call with Graham and the president, all right, about a year ago, I think. And they were talking about Putin and Ukraine. And Ukraine obsessed Lindsey Graham. I didn't say much on our call. My job isn't to butt in. My job is to assess information.

Trump listened to what Senator Graham said, but he didn't buy it. So it wasn't like Graham would come in there and say, hey, Mr. President, you got to do this, and Trump would jump up and do it. That's not what that relationship

was built on. Trump wanted to hear the hard power point of view. There was nobody better at advocating for his position, what you said, the nobility of America, than Lindsey Graham. Bill, thank you as always. Great to have you. Here's my weekly appearance with WOR's Mark Simone. Bill O'Reilly, how you doing?

Good. Cindy Adams gave me a nice review on confronting America. what has to change. The woman is an amazing, I think she's 95, isn't she? 95 years old? Still goes out every night? Still running around town at 95? Pretty good. That's probably why she's 95.

But anyway, I have to write her a note. It was a very nice review of confronting America out September 15th. Can pre-order on Bill O'Reilly.com. It's going to be a big book because, It's surprising, you know, and I give solutions, unlike most politicians and pundits. I say, here's a problem. Here's what we have to do to solve it. And that you don't see that very much anymore.

Yeah. Hey, we were talking about this earlier. About 10 years ago, the news media went totally corrupt and totally slanted. I mean, it was always a little slant, but then it just went totally nuts. They just don't cover anything bad about any Democrat ever. And if there is something bad, most people don't get to hear it. about it. You've been in that business all your life. How do you ever fix that? You can fix it. It's not going to be quickly. So it happened because of Trump himself,

and it's an interesting evolution. So in the beginning, the media laughed at Donald Trump. The apprentice guy and a guy with the hair and a guy running around. He's got no chance. and Jeff Bush will kick his butt, and then they had the debate, and Trump just destroyed the Republican competition, made them look foolish by running as a populist and saying to the American people, look, you want to over these guys? They're not going to help you. I will. And the public bought it. Once the turn, once the polls started to turn in Trump's favor, the news media goes, no, we can't have that because he's not in anybody's pocket. See, that's the key thing that WOR listeners have to understand.

The media wants politicians dependent on it. So you've got to bow down before Fox News or the New York Times or CNN, and you've got to pretty much do what they want. And Trump had no interest in doing that at all. I don't even think he thought about it. He thought he was going to get a fair shake. I told him very early on. He said, there's no way a guy like you outside the system.

He's coming in and shake things up. It's going to get a fair play. They're going to try to hurt you and your family, and that's what happened. Yeah, so I guess in the minds of most mainstream media, they felt Trump was so evil, we'll do whatever we have to do to stop them. Correct. And they even printed that in the New York Times. There was an article.

Forget the guy's name, but he's been around a long time. I haven't seen him lately. And it said, look, the rules of journalism. And at one time, there were rules. They don't apply to Donald Trump. Okay, so we're going to just do advocacy. And our advocacy, he's bad. You can't vote for him.

And we're going to try to hurt him. and they put it, Coulford, that was the guy's name, Paul Coulford, C-O-L-F-O-R-D. Newsday. He wrote it in the paper. And all of the others, television networks, followed that lead with the exception of Fox, which said, no, we can make money liking Trump. So we can make money liking him. So we're going to like him. The others said we can make money hating him, this is his television, so I hate him.

And that's how it all about. Now, to unravel all of that need very strong leadership. You can't get the government involved because the government's going to try to use the media for its own purposes. Let's be honest. But you need strong leadership at the top of these media companies. And unfortunately, most of these people are money men. All he cares is profit, profit, profit. profit, that's all they care about.

They don't care about the country. The one thing that's different now is the social media where I live, okay? Because nobody can control me. I run my own corporations. And we do put forth an honest presentation. Yeah. So, but they kind of got used to this business model of being totally slanted, totally. And they've, they used it on Trump, but now they use it to protect Platner.

They use it to protect Mom Donnie. it's too widespread now to ever stop, isn't it? Yeah, but I don't know if it's hopeless, but the media as it stands, and that's going to change now, with the Paramount merger and CNN is going to, they're going to wipe out all their primetime people are going to be gone.

CBS is not what it used to be in the sense that they have managers going over every word, every word that these correspondents say because they knew it was so far out of control. So I'm not hopeless about it. Okay. But the reason that the left-wing press wants to prop up a guy like Platner in Maine is because they hate Republicans. Republicans are now attached to Trump, the MAGA movement. So they want Democrats to win all the races, even if it's Mamdani.

They want them to win. Hey, let's talk about Lindsay Graham. Your podcast, we'll do it live. A lot of episodes out now, great episodes. The Lindsay Graham one was fascinating. It was a brilliant guy. Yeah, it was the last extensive interview he did. And, you know, it was just lucky that I got it.

And it's 45 minutes about Iran and the big picture there. And that still has not gone President Trump's way, Iran. Now, I'm still hoping, because it's better for the world if Iran goes down, and I mean goes down. So I'm still hoping that that will happen. But Graham laid out a pretty persuasive case that, look, this country for 50 years has been sanctioning terrorism and, what, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed.

including U.S. service people in Iran, by Iran. I wrote about that and killed killing the killers. And how in the first administration, Trump tracked down Soleimani and they destroyed ISIS and they being, Obama was part of that. He doesn't get any credit for it, but Obama was part of that. Obama made mistakes, but rectified and then threw a lot of stuff at these terrorism, but always behind the curtain was Iran. And so enough's enough, right?

You would think that the nuclear weapon thing, and here's a kicker on this. So I was debating on television, a bunch of people, lefties, all of them, say, Iran didn't have capacity to build a nuclear weapon. And I go, how do you know? every intelligence report that the United States and Israel have, and NATO as well, says that the mullahs are very close to enriching uranium and building a bomb, everyone. And now we find out, okay, that the mullahs admit it.

They admit it. And there are satellite pictures showing the blue, the uranium mines underground rebuilding. Now, then you don't hear anything. Then you hear no silence from the left who made the erroneous claim in the first place, an absurd claim, because how would they know? How would you know? There's nobody in Iran.

There's no reporting there. That's why it's so hard to get information out of there. Yeah. But you know how Trump works? They like to say he's got no plan. It's chaos. But, you know, Trump will just jump in, course correct constantly until he figures it out. In the end, it should be okay, shouldn't it?

I don't know. You know, he doesn't want to kill civilians, and it would kill, I know, if we really go after the infrastructure of Iran, I assume it to be 50,000 civilians laying in the street. No. He doesn't want that on his resume. No. And that's the only thing that's like. holding up the Muller's, that he, he, the president of the United States has not gone in

to just wreck the Iranian. That means you could make a cell phone call. You have a hard time going to the market to get food. I mean, you used to are devastating that place, like the United States did to Japan and the allies did to Germany. That's how you end the conflicts like this. But Trump does not want to. do it and I'm not criticizing the president.

He's been very honest with me about it. He doesn't wrong 50,000 dead civilians. Well, I wish you had more time, but we don't. But Bill O'Reilly's, you should get his latest book. It's a wonderful book. Great review today from Cindy Adams. The book is called Confronting America. You can order it right now, pre-order it.

Thanks for having me, Simone. I always enjoy talking to you. Listen to me as I join News Nation. Vice President J.D. Vance went on Joe Rogan's podcast today, and Joe pressed him on Israel's influence on the U.S. Vance is trying to clear the air here and, you know, tell him about what's happening behind the scenes and shut down the narrative that Israel pushed the U.S. into this war. But where did this narrative come from in the first place? It's always been there. The Israeli lobby, they call it, in D.C., where you live, live. And certain presidents have close relationship with Israel. Barack Obama did not, but Bush,

the younger, you know, did. So all I can tell you is that nobody pushes Donald Trump into anything. And I had a long conversation with the president when the hostages, negotiations were going on with Hamas. And it was clear to me that, yes, Israel pressured Donald Trump to do certain things, but Trump wasn't going to do anything unless he felt it was best for America. I think that this latest thing is because Mossad got information and you reported it, I reported it, that all the mollas would be in the same place at the same time. Right. That's the key. I think that was the end of February. This is the key. Right. And so Trump called the Pentagon in and his intel people in and said, okay, if that's true, and we can get them all at once, we could break the country,

maybe they'll rise up and overthrow the scyocracy. So that's what happened. But that's not a push. That's more of a, here's the information. We have an opportunity. And President Trump took the opportunity. At the same time, I said this was the biggest risk he had ever taken in his life, because I knew that it wasn't going to come down in an easy fashion. But what about the narrative, too, on the Israel issue that this is Israel's war, the United States has no interest here, and the president should have never taken the risk that you talk about? I mean, I could go on and on and on about the history of the Iranian regime, the hundreds of Americans they have killed, the hundreds of U.S. troops they've maimed in Iraq.

But where does that come from? I mean, this idea that this is just something the president is doing at the behest of Israel is completely detached from reality. Well, it's an ignorant view. I wrote a book called Killing the Killers, which chronicle Donald Trump and Barack Obama's attempts

to break the cycle of terrorism in the Middle East, which was and is funded by Iran. So both presidents agree, We have to try to stop this. And then the element of uranium enrichment as a bit of urgency. So anybody that says, and people have, I mean, I've debated them on television. Oh, Iran is enabled to develop a nuclear weapon.

You're looking at them and you go, that goes against every single intelligence assessment in the world, pretty much, in the world. Yeah. But you somehow, you punt it on. television, you know that Iran can't enrich Iranian to a degree that a bomb could be created? How do you know that? But the Iranians are saying they were doing it, too, at the same time, and they were openly saying they were doing it.

But we have to be skeptical of everything the Iranians say. True. But anyway, the point of the matter is that people say stuff, they can't back it up. They believe what they want to believe. and the Democratic Party, almost 100%, believe that Donald Trump got us into a bad situation with Iran and that Israel helped do that.

Democrats are again trying to make headlines by vilifying ICE. You had the president reversing a decision by DHS today to stop traffic stops. Those are now back in play. Chuck Schumer is starting to shut down the government again ahead of the midterm elections for the sake of funding ICE.

Why is it that they continue to use this as a way to get at the president when the majority of Americans support deporting violent criminals and Democrats have a problem with not being able to say we're going to stand up for American citizens over criminality who has entered the country illegally? Well, you're doing two questions.

You're doing a macro and a micro. So the five people who have been killed, let's see, two, yeah, five now. That's not a good look. Of course. It's just not. Okay. But there's a lot of other stuff ICE is doing and the media is focusing on those few cases rather than the thousands of people they're taking...

You don't have an honest media in the country and that's just the way it is. So you got to deal with reality. Now, if I were President Trump, I would not have stopped the order to, you know, go lighter on the car chases. I wouldn't have done that. have done that. I would have said, we'll have a decision for you in 10 days, and then explain a decision. Because you're correct, most Americans don't want this chaos that was 100% caused by the Democratic Party. Now, they'll remember that. The voter in November will remember that. But Maine, for example, it was almost a lock Susan Collins, the Republican would win

after this nut, platinum was exposed. But now with the dead migrant, all right, now it's back in play. Well, definitely by demand. And by, you know, they're doing that on purpose. You know that. You know, this is very strategic. They're organized.

We've covered the ICE riots outside of the facilities live. I mean, these people show up when they're told, they leave when they're told they're being paid. This is obviously all by design. But people believe it. Okay, so you have to always keep, you may know how this is structured, and I know, but people believe what they want to believe. And that is an advantage to the Democrats. If this didn't happen, trust me on this, Susan Collins would have walked away with a victory here.

Now, how long it lasts? I don't know. Right. But President Trump should show as much compassion as possible in this, but still do his job, but still get rid of criminal aliens. Look, I'll give you a story, Katie. I don't know whether you've covered it or not. But this Tim Walsh, who ran from Vice President. We definitely covered it. Allowing this Laotian child rapist to stay in Minnesota?

Yeah. I mean, the Republicans should run with that all day long. That's insane. That's terrifying. Yeah, it was smart for Rubio to jump on that and get the guy out of the country and deport him. I mean, that was the smart move. But it didn't, see, I didn't know about it until yesterday that Rubio intervened. Rubio should have been out there 10 seconds after the guy was on the plane.

You mean, this is a war of public relations now in addition to reality. Yeah, no, that's absolutely true. It was reported this week that HHS is walking back a pledge to block Medicare and Medicaid funding for hospitals that provide irreversible, you know, gender, transgender surgeries and hormone treatment for children. What do you think is behind that walk back? It seemed like a pretty easy sell to the public to go through with that. I don't know. I'm not involved in that Washington merry-go-round. So I don't know who's behind this or what the agenda is.

I do know there's big money on the progressive side, you know, trying to get as many benefits as possible into this trans arena. For me, I don't know. Okay, I don't want to see anybody unhappy or brutalized. I don't. But this is not an issue that should be in the forefront of anybody's thinking. If these people need help, let's give them help. But, you know, to formalize legislation around it, oh, my God.

Well, it's in the medical schools. It's another self-inflicted wound. And the medical community and in doctors offices, there's this doctor telling Congress that it's not just women who can get pregnant. Listen. Of course, the vast majority of pregnancies are in women. have absolutely no problem with using the word pregnant women. I use it myself.

Has a non-biological woman ever had a baby? A transgender person can. That's not a biological woman. The vast majority of women can have babies. I mean, only women can have babies, well. And medical professionals are testifying in front of Congress and the congressional record about this and acting like that's normal. Right.

I don't know any trans women with babies. So let's parade them on out if that's true. Look, again, this is just hurts the Democratic Party. It puts the nut label on them. That's the strongest thing the Republicans have going for it right now, is that you may not like us, but they're so much worse. And that's where we are. But again, things are going to change.

Well, President Joe Biden is back. he's coming out with a new book about his time in office. His son Hunter, who's been all over the place, was asked about President Trump in a recent interview. What do you make of Joe's book coming out in November just two weeks after the midterm elections? Well, it was supposed to come out in September, but it isn't. Do you know why? Well, I think that Democrats probably don't want Joe Biden taking up all the oxygen on the campaign trail and reminding everybody of what was as they're trying to win back power. That's a very good answer, but the answer is my book's coming out September 15. Oh, there you go, even more importantly. Confronting America what has to change.

And now the publishing industry is in such contraction, okay, that publishers go, we can't have our product up against the product we know is going to kick its butt. What do you make of Hunter Biden now doing this kind of, you know, no pun intended rehab tour of himself and also trying to get ahead of his dad's book, in and out there, trying to get some good PR, dropping a few F bombs along the way. I would tell him to go fuck his fucking self. That's what I would tell him. And please leave. I mean, like, I can be civil and I can tell you like, oh, listen, he's a president.

I don't want him going to be pissed off. I mean, you know, like it's the President of the United States. Well, obviously, wouldn't you want to have a constructive... That. This man has tried to torture me for 10 years. He says this shit he says about my dad. I'm a Christian. I'm willing to forgive Hunter Biden if he asks for forgiveness.

I want forgiveness for myself. I think Hunter Biden is a P-O-T-R-O-O-N. I think he is amusing. to us in the media who are looking for something to do on Thursday because the guy has no control over himself at all. He'll say anything.

I don't know if he'll do anything, but I wish he'd pay attention to his little daughter more than run around spout and propaganda. And I'm saying that to Hunter Biden as man a man here. You know, maybe you want to spend a little time with your daughter, okay, rather than doing all his nonsense.

Yeah, getting a family to acknowledge her would be a good start. So good advice. And of course, we will be watching for your book, Bill. Thank you for being here. We appreciate it. Always good to talk to you. Please join me and Sid Rosenberg on WabC. Radio. Bill, the talk today is this interview that Joe Rogan, I think, is overrated.

But he makes a lot of money, and he's got a lot of listeners. So I've got to give him the respect he deserves. But I watch him. I just don't get it. Either way, he had the vice president on yesterday for three hours. J.D. Vance was there for three hours. I played a couple of clips this morning, particularly where he talks about Israel and Jeffrey Epstein. It was with the Mossad and the CIA. I gather you saw it. Any opinion on J.D. Vance yesterday? Well, look, Vance has a different point of view than Trump, and people should understand that that's a healthy thing because you don't want just lock step. but for me, when I watch the vice president,

I'm not seeing a lot of frame of reference. What does that mean? So when you're going to talk about a very serious thing with the American people, you have to bring them some kind of stuff or wisdom they don't know. You can't do the social media, you can't do the pundings of the propaganda. and I think that the vice president lives in the world of social media.

And that, to me, is if he's going to run for president, going to hurt him. Whereas Rubio, his main rival is much more worldly. He much more in tune with problem solving than Vance. Vance is more of a theoretician. So the Rogan thing, I'm with you. I could never get on the program. I don't care to do three hours, even with you. I'm full of sleep.

I'm sorry. I'm taking a nap, all right? So within, you know, an hour and a half, two hours, I'm out. I'm asleep, and I don't know what you use. But just sit there for three hours, I'm sorry. And Rogan doesn't like me anyway. I don't know why. Maybe because I don't have a tattoo.

I don't know. I'll get a tattoo. One of the temporary ones the kids get where you peel off. because Rogan sells some books, you know. He does. It's worth going on there, but not for three hours, in my opinion. So I didn't learn anything much from, I didn't see the whole interview, but the clips of Rogan Vance.

Did you learn anything? No, no, I've heard the Jeffrey Epstein Mossad CIA thing from various people and podcasters forever. And, you know, the fact that there's this. money out there that's going against Vance and trying to embarrass them every day and trying to kill the Iran deal. I've heard all these things mostly, mostly from people who I deem anti-Semitic podcasters. So nothing shocked me yesterday. And for him to say that, oh, people think I'm run by Tucker Carlson, like Trump is run by

BB, you bet your ass I think that. And you just said it. J.D. Bance lives in the social media slash podcast the world, and you cannot do that if you're the vice president of the United States. We asked him two weeks ago to come on with me on an interview thing, and they were rude to us. His people were rude to us. Really? Really?

Yeah. And now I had had him on, I don't know, six months ago. And the interview was good because I pinned them down. You know, if you're going to say stuff to me, you've got to be able to back it up. You know that. I don't believe, and we, O'Reilly and Rosenberg depart here, I don't believe that Tucker Carlson runs J.D. Vance. I don't.

I don't think he's access. I don't think they talk a lot. But Vance is aware of that movement. He's aware of it. And I'm not going to say that Vance does anything in his presentation to pander to it, but he certainly hasn't criticized it. So to me, as a journalist, when I hear these things about Israel or whatever it may be, I'm going to challenge that. I'm going to say, how do you know that? Or what are you bringing to the table that we don't know?

And then usually you get silenced, and that's why a lot of politicians from both parties will not come on with me. Because they know, I'm not going to just let them say what they want to say. They're going to have to back it up. 100%, which every interviewer should do, but that's why you're the best ever. You know, you mentioned Israel. Bebe was on this show Monday. He was terrific.

And he called in, he called in. I didn't book him because his people contacted me and said he wants to say nice things about Lindsey Graham, like most people do. I mean, there's a lot of folks out there too that hate him. He's a warmonger and he loves Israel and he loves Ukraine. Bill O'Reilly, how did you feel about Lindsey Graham? I did the last extensive interview with him on we'll do it live. It's up on Bill O'Reilly.com, 45 minutes. And that was the beginning of the Iranian conflict.

So it was just a couple of months ago? Yeah, the last one. You know, he did a couple of pops with people, but they were short. This was 45 minutes. And I grilled them, as I do with everybody, about motive, intense, determination. And from the very beginning, my posture was that this is the right thing to do for the world by trying to disarm a terrorist state, Iran. It's the right thing to do.

However, it was Donald Trump's. It is Donald Trump's biggest gamble in his whole life. Because you're dealing with a subset of power that answers to no one and who, that government, they are basically lunatics. They believe that Rosenberg and O'Reilly don't have the right to live because we're not Wahhabist Muslim. That's true. Yeah. That's what they believe.

Not easy, yes. We don't have the right to live, not go to the deli. We should be in the ground because we don't think Allah is whispering in our ear every night, kill every non-earned. Muslim you can't. Kill the infidels. Right. The infidels is the word they is. So how insane is that?

And then when you get up to a level where you can develop a weapon that can literally wipe out a half million people and you sit there and do nothing as the Biden administration did, okay, that gets problematic. But to solve the problem is very, very difficult.

You have to go to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden. You have to go into these precincts where the United States and its allies killed millions of civilians. And by the way, you don't have to kill millions here. But, but, and you're the history guy, not me, did those bombings and killings in Germany and Japan? not lead, thank God, eventually to the end of World War II? Yes, it was the greater good that America, because we drove everything, okay, it was the greater good that was accomplished. Because how many times did we give Hitler and Tojo opportunities to surrender? And it's the same day with the Mullets.

How many times do we give them? How many deals did Trump say at? Too many. Right. And they will not stop. So the right thing to do is to make them stop. But it's not that easy. And President Trump, and I know this because I've spoken to him directly about it, all right, doesn't want to kill 50,000 Persians.

Which is honorable, and he really does feel that way because he's a good man. But you can't, but, but, but, like, it's not phony. No, no, that's him. He doesn't want to kill 50,000 Persians, including school girls, which is what it would take to break the country. Oh, that's it then. Where we broke Japan and Germany. Germany.

That's it, though. You don't start a book not to finish. You don't start a job, not to finish. You start the game, the game ends. So he started this, which is great. We both agree he had to do it. But because you're a nice guy, you can't not finish it. There needs to be a finish.

And the only finish is to damage. Look, that's all true, but we don't know because we don't have classified information. All right. And these people go on television and radio and say they know what's happening over there. That's ridiculous. There isn't one reporter. You can't. quarter telling the world what's happening in Iran, you've got a bullet in your head within five

hours. So there isn't any reputage out of there. We don't know. But you would assume that the Pentagon has a plan to bring Iran down. And that plan will probably just be, we're going to have to waste all of your resources, waste, destroy, and you're going to have trouble getting food in there. And that's not our fault. That's your government's fault. So you can do what you want to do, but I think that's where Trump is going with this. He's going to break the infrastructure of the country so they can't even get food in. That's what it looks like to me. But I don't get a daily briefing. I should. Yeah, you should.

You can take vances and just give it to me. I would love that. I would vote for that right now. I really would. I want Bill O'Reilly to be the vice president of the United States moving forward. How about that? That's my guy. I can't take that job.

It'd have to be a top job because I just, I'm not a good order shaker. Well, that's true. That's true. You're right. But that again, only Trump would give you orders, and you can figure out a way around that. You'd be the much better guy for that position than he would be. I mean, let's be honest. Because I just, I just want to see this thing come to an end one way or the other.

I mean, it's just a mess. It's just a mess. And I think the Persians do, too. Of course. It's just they don't have the courage to overthrow their government. No, don't say they don't have the courage. They don't have the guns, okay? No, they don't have the courage.

They're not the guns. You walk in the street, you get shot down. 50,000 they killed. You want to see courage? Let the Americans. let us go there and arm these people. Then we'll see courage. Well, you can't arm them.

Okay, so you expect people to walk in the street just to get shot? Here's what I expect, the American Revolution. Okay? So if you study the American Revolution in, you know, 250 years this year, the colonists didn't have the guns. We didn't have any gun manufacturing plants here, all right? But we said we're throwing his king out, and we're willing to give up our lives to do it,

and we're going to use every measure to get these Brits back on their own island, get out of here, and that's going to cost us hundreds of thousands of lives, and that's exactly what happened. So we had the courage to fight for our freedom. We stated what our freedoms were in the Declaration of Independence, and then we had the courage to fight for that against the most powerful military in the world, the British. And we want.

And so you can't tell me that 90 million Persians going on a work stoppage, okay, not showing up, not cooperating in a passive way, can't damage that government. They can. They don't have

the guts to do it. All right? And that's the truth. You can overthrow tyrannical regimes. I wrote about this in confronting evil. You mentioned it in the league. Because the exact same thing happened with the Shah of Iran. The people rose up against him. But let me ask you this. You're right. You're right. And people are going to run and get them. It's not going to happen. That's not going to happen. But I would ask you as a history guy talking about the Shah, that was 1979, okay?

So you're talking about 47 years ago, okay, when this thing started. Are you telling you telling me the Iranians are the same because I'm going to posit to you that they're more ruthless, more murderous, and more brutal now than 47 years ago. They make the Shah, the Mullahs make the Shah look like Pee Wee Herman. Right. Okay. So these people have no chance. For the people of Iran to go on a track that makes it impossible for the revolutionary guard to govern.

Okay. I like the idea. If nobody does anything, all right, they stay in their homes, they eat their whatever they have left. Yeah. Because you're not going to have it for long, okay? Then the whole structure starts to wobble. True. Okay? You don't have to do it militarily.

You can do it by passive means if you understand what happened. I mean, the shot was gunning down people like crazy trying to keep his power base there. but they were so fed up with him that they were willing at that point in the Persians to take the chance to get him out of and they did and but they put in somebody worse right and that's where we are that's where you are final 60 seconds that was a great walk history lesson right there bill like no one could do nobody better than you nobody final 60 seconds have you been able to convince Chris Cuomo that Mamdani is in fact a communist.

No, not yet, but he knows. Come on, Bill. Look, we differ, because I know you both. And you're interesting guys. Let's put it that way. But Cuomo, what he's doing is playing to a group.

You don't play to a group. No. Okay? So sit and friends is wide open. and form. You know, you got to have a conservative bent somewhere. But that's not what you're selling. No. All right.

No. But Cuomo, because of his position on News Nation, is selling a liberal view of the country. There's nothing wrong with that. My job is to go in and challenge that liberal view. Yeah, but here's the thing. whether it was CNN or even now at News Nation, where he does have the best ratings there, but that's like saying you want a beauty contest in the Lepro Colony.

How is it? He doesn't get ratings. So this liberal stance of his, and you're right, he does do it, because Katie Papplitch comes on two hours later, and you two guys are great together this week, too. She's not liberal. So there's nothing in the News Nation doctrine,

like CNN that says you have to be liberal. It's not like he's getting big ratings. Why is he doing it? Because that's his comfort zone. Got it. Yep. You're right. You know, if you know, I knew Mario Cuomo.

Okay? I didn't know him well, but I covered him, and I knew him. And I can see the passage down to both Andrew and Chris of Mario Cuomo's point of view. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

And it was a far different time in America. It was much more detente. There was much more reasonableness. There wasn't a pressure to speak to the choir so much as there is now. But I can see it. I can see almost everything. So when I get on there and I go to Cuomo, which is absolutely 100% true, that Mamdani is a communist because he's trying to control the means of production in New York City.

All right? And then Cuomo so he isn't a communist. I'm just looking at him like, do you not understand? And that makes a good segment. Of course. That's great. That's a good television. It is good.

Yes, I agree. Okay. I watch it. My job is to be a provocative guy, but to bring in the fact that we have a mayor of the largest city in the country who wants to run everybody's life right down to what kind of shoes you wear. That's true. Okay. And if that's okay with you, all right, fine. it's not illegal, but certainly the man is a communist.

He is a communist. I mean, to the... And that's it. That's it, to the definition. He'd be in the dictionary. Right, right? I mean, he's after the housing. He's got the housing.

He's after the food. I think Cassamette's going to have a mugged. He's after the food. He's after the transportation. He's got cameras on every corner. every blank in corner in that city you got a camera and if you spit on the sidewalk

you get a $100 ticket what do you think that is that's what they do in Beijing which you know because exactly the same you were there not that long ago in Beijing actually and I believe you did it you saw it you saw it you spent on the street you got a line in Beijing

you do anything the government doesn't like you're charged with crimes against the people yeah okay That's everything. Bill, you are so magnificent and so great. I love you so much. Thank you.
