Starting point is 00:00:25 We'd love to talk, business. When WestJet first took flight in 1996, the vibes were a bit different. People thought denim on denim was peak fashion, inline skates were everywhere, and two out of three women rocked, the Rachel. While those things stayed in the 90s, one thing that hasn't is that fuzzy feeling you get when WestJet welcomes you on board. Here's to WestJetting since 96. Travel back in time with us and actually travel with us at westjet.com slash 30 years. Bill O'Reilly here, let's get started. This story about Governor Sarah Huckabee in Arkansas caught my attention.
Starting point is 00:01:10 So you may have heard about it. She was in Little Rock, the capital of the state, and she went to a restaurant called the croissant something. I can't say it for lunch. And they gave her a hard time. Here's what the governor said on Fox. Go. Unfortunately, I was there with two other moms. And as you know, as well as anybody, Sean, the battle in this country is no longer between the left versus the right. It's the normal versus the crazy.
Starting point is 00:01:46 I think the law would be on your side. It doesn't sound like you're thinking about it, but maybe you should. I mean, they're not allowed to discriminate, are they? You know, I think the market will take care of this on its own. And again, my place is to hold my head high, continue to treat people with kindness, show the great side of our state, ignore the nastiness. Okay, she was talking about a lawsuit against this restaurant, the croissant something in Little Rock. So if she did, if the governor did decide to sue, would she win? No.
Starting point is 00:02:27 That's the simple answer to that. She would not win. Now, this was disrespectful, absolutely, to the governor of Arkansas, and the restaurant did it for political reasons. There's no doubt about it. That's what they did. They allowed her to have the meal. She was there for about 75 minutes. She had her detail, security detail, as all governors do.
Starting point is 00:02:56 and then at the end of 75 minutes, the owner came over and said, hey, you're making people uncomfortable, you've got to leave. Now, in the state of Arkansas, businesses may refuse service for rude, disruptive, or unsafe behavior. That certainly wasn't in play here. And they cannot discriminate on race or color, national origin, religion, sex, age, veteran, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity. Doesn't say anything about politics there. Okay? So that's a flaw in the law.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Now, one of the customers in the restaurant kind of sided with the rudeness. Go. And I think there was a situation to where maybe a miscommunication, a misunderstanding of that time limit, and if it exceeded that time limit, then the owners can say something, right? Well, that's the owner's excuse that they wanted to boot the governor of the state
Starting point is 00:03:59 and her two companions out because they had finished their meal and paid and they needed the table. Nobody does that. Nobody does. No rational person does that. She's the governor. She's in your restaurant. That's good publicity for you.
Starting point is 00:04:18 This was purely about immigration. They don't like immigration, the owners of this restaurant. They don't want any enforcement. Huckabee Sanders is pro-ice. And that's what happened. That's the truth. So you can make up any excuse you want. But in a court of law, the discriminatory situation, you know, they're going back and forth.
Starting point is 00:04:47 The croissontory. Croissantery, I don't know it. Okay. Now, if I'm in Little Rock, I'm not going at that restaurant, obviously. And they'll lose business because Arkansas is a red state. And most people want immigration enforcement. They're going to buy this. And they don't want their governor treated like this. So she's right. Huckabee Sanders, that the market will take care of this. But the essential question is, can you get booted out of a public place because you're a conservative or a liberal or a libertarian or whatever you are. Now, if you're booted because you're Catholic or Jewish or Protestant or Muslim, you can sue. If you're trans, you can sue. But if you just hold an opinion, you lose. Because it's not there under the law as far as the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. It should be there. This is what I'm doing this commentary for. Now, I don't want it in the Constitution,
Starting point is 00:06:10 but I do want states to make their laws more fair. And say, if you're an establishment in, say, New Hampshire or Oregon or New Mexico, and you are treated in a discriminatory way, asked to leave, or not seated, because of an opinion you have uttered, should be able to sue. Doesn't that make sense to you? Because if not, we don't really have free of speech, do we? So if everybody can, I you, pardon a pun, because you believe a certain thing that you're constitutionally entitled to believe, even if you're a communist. So you're a communist. You're a Mamdani.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Mandami walks into a New York City restaurant. The restaurant goes, oh, I don't serve communists here. Now, Mandami would say, I'm a Muslim, so he'd have a lawsuit all day long, because that's what he'd make it about. But if it was just a communist, like de Blasio, okay, you can't. I think that is a violation of our rights. You should not be held accountable in a destructive way for your belief system as long as you're not imposing it. Now, if Huckabee Sanders had made a political speech inside the restaurant saying, I love ice,
Starting point is 00:07:47 Then the guy would have said a matter and say, look, you can't do that here. Because this is not the right form, and you're disturbing the customers, the customers are all this. But she didn't. She just went in for a cruel slum or whatever they have. This is purely a malicious thing. So the states, all 50 of them, should have laws that say your opinions are protected, not only in the First Amendment, but from any state action that may harm you or embarrass you. I know it's a little squishy, but you can word it to protect people's political points of view or other points of view.
Starting point is 00:08:36 So if there's somebody who doesn't want trans guys playing soccer against women and as a restaurant said, I'm sorry when I'm serving you, that person should have a legal avenue. Right? I think I'm right. The issue of the American people is a fascinating one to me, because we're in the middle of a cultural change, Leland. And the change is there are millions and millions and millions of us who don't give a wick about their country, about the world, about any. but what they do every day. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:22 It is an unbelievably selfish era. Again, driven by this, where you can create your own world. We've never had this before. And you'll remember, if you read my book Killing Patton, that as far as regime change is concerned, even at the end, in 1945, when the Russians were coming in from the East, coming in from the east, the allies are coming in from the west to defeat Hitler. The German people did not rise up against Hitler.
Starting point is 00:09:56 No, and you made that point in the column. The SS would mow them down. The SS would have shot them dead. Right, as would the Iranian or the Islam. And that's what you're seeing in Iran. Right, as with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. But it's important that you understand. No, I get it, Bill.
Starting point is 00:10:13 This is the question. You wrote the book Confronting Evil. In each one of those chapters, evil ended when the regime was taken down, right? Evil continued in the Soviet Union even after Stalin died. So two questions. Has there ever been a time that making a deal with evil worked out? Yes. There have been times when you make a deal knowing then, well, there were a lot of deals made
Starting point is 00:10:46 before World War 2 that postponed the Armageddon. Okay? Neville Chamberlain. Wait, wait, hold on. You're going to sit here and tell me Chamberlain at Munich was a success? The word success never entered my mind. It postponed
Starting point is 00:11:06 the arm conflict. Okay? And made the armed conflict work. This is what I believe is in play now. This is what I believe is in play. Listen to me. Take notes. it is becoming apparent to the Trump administration that they are not going to be able to change the regime
Starting point is 00:11:27 unless you throw 10,000 ground troops into Iran, which is never going to happen. So the thinking is we'll make a deal, the deal will encompass inspectors going in to see that they aren't enriching uranium, no ballistic missiles. and a bunch of other things in return for a lightning up of the economic sanctions against rent. We'll make a deal and hope that the regime, we don't even know what it is now or who's talking. We have no idea who the leadership is. You're saying we're saying we, hold on, hold on, hold on. This is an old-fashioned interview, Bill. You're saying we don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:13 You're saying President Trump and the American intelligence apparatus doesn't know who the regime is? I'm saying that we the people don't know. There is no identifiable person. So we should trust that President Trump is going to make a deal with a regime that is evil, that chants death to America. And
Starting point is 00:12:31 we should somehow accept whatever they promise so that they can go back to get stronger and blackmail us again? Again, Chamberlain at Munich was a disaster. Why would we want to why would we repeat that? I wouldn't, because you didn't let me finish the final point.
Starting point is 00:12:47 The hope is that the Iranian regime is in such disarray that after the ceasefire and Hormuz opens, which be part of it, the Persians will rise up and throw out this weakened government because that's how weak it is. That is the hope now. It's changed a little bit. All right?
Starting point is 00:13:09 Now, I wouldn't recommend that any American agree with anything that Donald Trump says. Why would you do that? You have to be skeptical. of every single administration. But you've got to use your mind and see what's in front of you. What's in front of you is not good news for Iran on any front. But hold on the best news for Iran now.
Starting point is 00:13:34 It's not good news for that country. Right. But if you want the Persians to rise up as the Israelis are working on right now, and I'm going to give you the last 60 seconds, you said the hope is once there is a ceasefire, Once whatever regime elements are left over is able to reconstitute and get more weapons from the Chinese and sell more oil and get strong. No, that would be part of the deal? Oh, and they're going to live up to that deal? Come on.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Look, if you've got inspectors going in there looking at all their arms components, including uranium, and they, like Saddam Hussein did, say no, then you resume military action. in a harder way. Okay? But the original deal is on the hope that the country is so damaged, and it is, that the people will then rise up and chuck these people out. Right. So why not keep bombing and give the people some kind of cover? Because of the economy and China.
Starting point is 00:14:38 China is a big player here. 80% of all Iranian oil is sold to China. 80% China needs oil. It gets it from Putin. It gets it from Iran. Now, I believe there's a backdoor deal being manufactured now between the Trump administration and Beijing about oil. You haven't heard China say much about Iran. But China's in there.
Starting point is 00:15:03 And China does not want all the oil refineries bombed in Iran if it can't replace that oil. No, it's still once you get. It's enormous. Agreed. So there's a lot of components. There is that. A lot of stuff swirling around. Bill, I got to run.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Okay. The most interesting I watched was your new podcast. We'll do it live. The latest one with Lindsay Graham. That was the best explanation of the Iran war I have ever heard. Thank you. It's an old-fashioned interview. You don't get many of them anymore.
Starting point is 00:15:44 where I went in very surgically, and we started with the word imminent, because that's what the Trump administration is saying to justify the action, that Iran had an imminent threat with the uranium they hold. And I thought that Senator Graham defined it pretty well. Now, you can always not believe him if you don't want to, and that's what people have a tendency to do. We did identify him as a hawk. He is.
Starting point is 00:16:21 But he was very convincing to me. And he certainly knows because he gets the intel, just like President Trump. And he speaks to Trump a couple of times a day. So if there's ever a guy who knows what the nuke situation is inside Iran, it's Lindsay Graham. Yeah, everybody's going to go watch this. Bill O'Reilly's new podcast, we'll do it live, the Lindsay Graham one. But he explains, if you're going to use the nuclear material for some energy or commercial
Starting point is 00:16:55 purposes, it's 20 percent. But when you get it to, where'd they have it, it's 60 percent? You're heading towards what happens. Yeah, and the real kicker on it is that the Trump administration in its negotiations before the action said to Iran, we'll pay for your nuclear. ambition for up your country. So we'll make it happen for you, but Iran basically said, no, we're going to do what we want to do, and that's develop a nuclear weapon. So what more does anybody need? Because if you have a rogue regime like that, a theocracy that answers to no one,
Starting point is 00:17:40 and they have a nuclear weapon, they can hand that weapon off on a low-level situation and kill hundreds of thousands of people. But apparently, half of the United States doesn't believe that or doesn't want to believe it. And to me, it's like, okay, you don't believe history, you don't believe evil, you don't believe nukes, what do you believe?
Starting point is 00:18:08 and I'll tell you what they believe. Trump is the evil one. That's driving all of the dissent. Now, they did this with Bush. They hated Bush. In fact, that's where the term came from, Bush derangement syndrome. But he was a very formal politician.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Trump just rattles their cage at every turn. So is that all it is? He just cranks it up like a thousand notches. Yeah, they're positive analysis of Donald Trump, ever. And so whatever Donald Trump's involved, with is wrong. And the media on a daily basis. So Americans who don't pay attention, which about half of us, we live in bubbles, we don't pay attention to the news. I don't really care what happens other than what happens to ourselves. So they pick up the anti-Trump sentiment,
Starting point is 00:19:06 and then they form whatever opinion they're going to form. But they don't know what Iran is. They can't find it on a map. They don't know what theocracy is. They don't know the details that Lindsay Graham put out. You know, when you interview a guy for an hour, which is what the long form will do what live does, you know, he has to have it together or I'm going to destroy him. You know, Tad.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yeah. If he falters or he doesn't have it, I'm going to go in. I don't care who you are. and say, well, it doesn't stack. It doesn't make any sense. But Graham was very well organized in a thought process. And I believe him. No, you did it perfectly.
Starting point is 00:19:53 You were the tough cross-examiner, and everybody should go watch it. It's, we'll do it live, Bill O'Reilly's latest podcast. Watch the one with Lindsay Graham. Hey, and the other thing I love about this podcast, it looks like a TV show on a set, which is great. Everybody does these podcasts. Now, they're in a sweater, they're in their basement, they're in a garage. I don't like that stuff. I like it the way you did it.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah, again, traditional, old school, respectful. There'll be times when I don't wear a tie, but I'm not going to look like a bum and smoke pot during the podcast. Okay, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to have, you know, a shot of vodka in between questions. So I don't care what other people do. I've been in this business more than 50 years. I've been successful on every single thing we've ever done.
Starting point is 00:20:42 because I understand what the American audience wants in its pursuit of journalism, and they want honesty, and they want authenticity, which is why you're successful. And that's what I provide. Hey, explain this to me as the media expert, because all these consultants, you know, we're telling you, well, everything's quick, short form, quick, quick. How come everybody now wants to hear these long interviews, these long podcasts? What is that all about? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:11 I mean, that's an excellent question, because I didn't want to do this. My younger staff, when I say younger under 35, they all, you've got to do this, you've got to get in the game. Because we were doing four nights of a hard news broadcast. We're doing three nights now in the No Spin News and one night of the long form. And I finally surrendered. I said, all right, we'll give it a shot. And we've done two of them. and they've been fabulous, successful, millions of people.
Starting point is 00:21:42 And we're dropping a third on Thursday, which is, I'm going to alternate back and forth. So we got Steve Sharipa on Thursday. Oh, I love him. Yeah. And it's very interesting, particularly for New Yorkers, because Sharpa is a Brooklyn guy who never wanted to be an actor. He never wanted to be famous. and it was almost thrust upon him. Fascinating story.
Starting point is 00:22:13 And he's a good guy. I know him personally. So we'll drop Sharipa on Thursday. Oh, that's going to be great. That's going to be excellent. So, yeah, he was the entertainment director of the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas. That's right. And before that, he was a bouncer in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:22:31 But he's a genuinely good guy and an honest guy. and I get into a lot of the subtleties of both the Sopranos and Blue Bloods, because you had two classic guys in there, Gandalfini, the lead in Sopranos, and Seleck, the Blue Bloods guy. And they were opposite guys, but they did control the venues they were in. It was in both programs and really describes it very, very, very, astutely how these guys make it to the top and the pressure on them to stay there. Wow.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Sounds fascinating. Well, you can watch this. This will be the latest podcast. It'll come out Thursday. And make sure you go watch the Lindsay Graham one. It's the best explanation of why we're in Iran. You just go to YouTube, right, and watch it there? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:30 It's easiest is Bill O'Reilly.com because it's just that big thing. And just pop it with your finger and then it appears. It's free. You know, all of the podcast stuff is free. But it is a phenomenon in America that people now have the patience. I mean, it's not in Texas. Rogan, it's three hours. How can you sit there for that?
Starting point is 00:23:57 You know, an hour is my limit. I need a milkshake after that. Bill O'Reilly, thanks for being with us. I talked to the president last night late, and here's what I know, Cuomo. So the United States would like to have a dialogue with Iran, but they don't know who to talk to. There's no clear leader anywhere. I mean, Omar, the tentmaker, could show up to have the dialogue. They'd like to do it in Pakistan.
Starting point is 00:24:33 They have Whitkoff and Kush are ready to go. And they'd like to start dialogue to get the things that the United States feel are necessary for world peace. So that's the American component. The chaos on the other side is undefined. There's no reporting on the ground. Nobody knows really where these people are. They're all hiding. A lot of them have been assassinated.
Starting point is 00:25:00 So it's very hard to quantify what they're doing. The Revolutionary Guard is pretty much in control of hurling. missiles and drones in the Straits of Hormuz. They're going to run out of ordnance soon. And then you have the China factor, which is huge, because President Trump doesn't want to eliminate the oil from Iran to China, particularly when he's going there in the middle of May. So it's a very complicated thing. This simplistic garbage that you hear on television news in America is insulting. The administration is now waiting to see if it can get the deal that it wants, and that's where we are. Look, I mean, that's a better read than what we're
Starting point is 00:25:52 getting from the president, because the president says, oh, yeah, we're negotiating. He said the other day, we've got the right people that we're talking to there now. I haven't heard anybody else who's involved with the negotiations suggest that. They suggest what you did, which is they don't really know what the state of play is on that side. But I'll tell you, you know, you say this is the misinformation, the spin. Well, you know, what goes around comes around in politics. And the president is no stranger to exaggerating things that happen for his own effect. And now we're in a position where I don't think it's fair what Senator Federman just said, that Democrats choose to believe the regime instead of the I don't think that's true from the interviews that I'm doing, but we know the regime is a bunch of
Starting point is 00:26:36 liars, Bill. Here's my question to you. Can you really say to the American people, you can believe President Trump? You've got to be skeptical of every administration. They're going to put forth what they want the American people to digest. This has been going on since Thomas Jefferson and John Adams who's slugging it out. I don't understand the narrative people being so naive about this. You're wrong about Schumer.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Schumer had an opportunity to say, look, we backed the U.S. military, wouldn't do it. And I'd love to see Schumer on the Cuomo show. You know him? He won't come on. Why won't he come on? Why? Because they choose safe harbors, just like a lot of the Republicans. No.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Why come on here and get slapped around when you can go get a pat on the back? He's a coward. That's why I won't come on. He's a coward. And he's directly responsible for the TSA people not being paid. Because he knows that judicial warrants for every undocumented taken into custody are possible. None of judges in a country couldn't do it. He knows it.
Starting point is 00:27:46 He's a coward. It's him. And he's the most powerful guy in the Democratic Party. Now, whether people will remember in November, I don't know. But it's a disgrace. Schumer is a coward. And if he's not going to come on a Cuomo show, I mean, all right, I, MS, whatever it is, nobody takes that seriously. Why don't you just go on Daffy Duck? I mean, nobody in the world is taking that thing seriously. That's just an arm of the Democratic Party and the progressive
Starting point is 00:28:18 movement. And that's where Chuck goes. Chuck has no people stick to their own. The Republicans are the same No, no, no, no, they're not. You can get Republican people to come on. I get them on all the time. I grill Lindsay Nelson. Yeah, you can't. Yeah. Meadow announced it.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Lindsay Graham. You know, I grill everybody and they still, come on, not everybody, not everybody, but Schumer is the leader of the Democratic Party. He's a coward. That's it. I just think it's the path of least resistance. I think they're all pack animals now. And I think that, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:53 We have a real confidence problem. We have a real trust problem. Is Schumer to blame for the shutdown? Yeah. But did the president pull a deal off the table that the Republicans wanted to make? Hold that. Yeah. Did you trust Barack Obama what he was saying?
Starting point is 00:29:12 Did you trust George, Hillary Bush? I'll tell you what. Yes and yes. Trust but verify? Skeptical, as you say? Absolutely. But do I know I was being lied to on a regular basis with Obama? No.
Starting point is 00:29:27 With George W. Bush, no. With Bill Clinton, no. With George H.W. Bush, no. With President Donald Trump? You have a president. Absolutely. Okay. Double standard because you're a Democrat.
Starting point is 00:29:42 You have a Democrat president. I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Democrat. I can keep you a doctor. Yes, you are. I'm not a Democrat. There's a difference between being a home. Hold on, Bill, there's a different, no.
Starting point is 00:29:53 First of all, I have only been a registered Democrat to vote for my brother or father. Okay? I'm telling you, Bill, you're not even close on this. But that's not what matters. Well, it matters if you're going to make a false organization. But here's what I'm saying. You were raised in a home where your father was a Democratic governor of New York. I was raised by a guy.
Starting point is 00:30:10 If you like your doctor. I was raised by a guy who made you look like an atheist. I was raised by a guy who made you look like an atheist, Bill. All right. He made you look like a doctor. I love that's a pansy atheist. But that's who raised me and taught me what you believe and what you don't believe.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Here's what I'm saying. I don't give a damn about party politics. What I care about is this. You can keep your doctor if you want your doctor. He was wrong and didn't understand the implications of his own bill. Oh, it's wrong. Shame on him and he paid for it. There's a difference between being wrong and lying.
Starting point is 00:30:41 You told me two weeks for the war. We're now on week five. You were wrong. That's not a lie. You were wrong. Now, if you knew it wasn't going to be. And now we're in week five. Not you.
Starting point is 00:30:53 I'm saying, for example, if you say two weeks for the war, which the president said, now it's been five, is that a lie? I don't think so. I think he was wrong. I don't think he knew what he was getting into. A lie is they're desperate for a deal. A lie is we already won. Those are lies, Bill.
Starting point is 00:31:11 They're lies. No, they're not. And it's ridiculous to make that assertion. Already won can be defined. A million ways. You just heard Senator Federman say that the military aspect of this conflict has been clear in the destruction of Iran. So you can go in and say, we won the war.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Now we're trying to win the economic peace, which is different, okay? The regime's still in place. Lie, lie, lie, lie. Look, how many times did you hear Cheney and Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction? How many times did you hear that? Okay, well, the U.S. Intel has put forth by Colin Powell. Is Colin Powell a liar? Was he a liar?
Starting point is 00:31:58 No. Okay, he's the guy that put it forth. Okay, you're cherry picking. That's what you're doing. You're cherry picking people. You don't like their liars, but if I like them, they're just misled. Come on. No.
Starting point is 00:32:13 No, it's not even a close call. I'm telling you, did Colin Powell, look, if you're asking me whether or not Everybody in power has lied. Of course, every human being lies. The question is how often, how predictably, and to what degree? And if you want to put Trump on equal footing with every other president, fine, you will never find a lot of company in that position. I analyze each situation as it unfold.
Starting point is 00:32:40 No, I analyze each situation as it unfolds. Okay. So right now where we are is the United States would like. to make a deal with Iran. I agree. They can at this point because nobody knows who's in charge there. A deal will happen. Trump did do the right thing by going in there and emasculating their offensive capabilities, Iran.
Starting point is 00:33:06 I don't know if it'll work out in history, but he did the right thing. War is complicated. I don't think he's waking up in a morning and morning. You know, I'm going to lie to Cuomo today. I'm going to lie. That's not what he does. If you don't think he's allowed, that's fine. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:33:20 You don't have to think that. No, a lie means that you wake up and you say, here's the truth, but here's what I'm going to say, which is opposite to truth. It's not what Trump does. Yeah. Not what he does. Okay? All right. Now, San Francisco, you want lives?
Starting point is 00:33:39 Ho, ho. That city has collapsed, social. And no one in power will admit it. There's a lie because you can see it with your eyes. One startling fat quamomone, and you didn't know, because I didn't know it, until I was in the tenderloin talking to the drug addicts themselves. You know who sells narcotics down here in San Francisco and in Oakland? Honduran drug gangs who are here illegally. You know who protects them?
Starting point is 00:34:09 The sanctuary laws of San Francisco and California. They strut around, armed to the teeth, okay, knowing that no one on the federal level can bother them, okay, because the state and the city won't cooperate, as almost every state does with joint task force, California won't do it. So Honduran drug gangs in this country illegally are fueling a massive fentanyl crisis that has destroyed the city of San Francisco, and the mayor knows it, and the governor knows it, and Pelosi knows it, and Kamala Harris knows it and they never did anything about it. How about that for a headline? I think it's a damning headline and that's why San Francisco's been getting crushed and
Starting point is 00:34:59 Newsom has such a big burden to try to make it as the Democratic nominee. It was once the most beautiful city in the country. I used to love to go there. Now little children watch drug addicts inject themselves with needles in their neck as they walk to school. Now Hondurans here are illegally cut off people's hands with machetes if they don't pay their drug debts. Okay? This isn't about narcotics. This is about massive violence. Meanwhile, two miles away, Nancy Pelosi is living in an $8 million house guarded by security. So she doesn't have to experience any of it. You have been tremendous with this whole Iran conflict. And The country is pretty much even, depending on the week.
Starting point is 00:35:54 I think last week, 424 in favor. I think this week it dropped again. I don't know. But I've been on board with this from the very beginning, and not just because I'm Jewish and Israel. Stop with that. That is so anti-Semitic. I believe it's about America first.
Starting point is 00:36:09 I do. Are you still as high on this effort a week later on this Thursday as you were last week? Well, here's a situation, and then you can evaluate where I am. So the military aspect of this is over already, and the United States and Israel won. The offensive capability of Iran has been downgraded to the extent that they're not going to be able to attack anybody on a routine basis going into the future. What's left is the uranium, and these mullers are so insane that they don't want to be. give it up? Now, eventually they're going to have to give it up because Trump cannot back away from that. Everybody should understand this. It has to be, and weapons inspectors going in, no uranium.
Starting point is 00:37:07 That's it. There's no other negotiation there. Everything else you can work it out. But the problem is, there's no leadership now in Iran. Who's in charge? You know, if they have a negotiation, what is Omar, the tentmaker, going to show up? Who's showing up? I mean, trying to call. Well, on line one, well, he's dead. Line two, deceased. Line three, we haven't seen him in four weeks.
Starting point is 00:37:34 You know, they have no leadership. There's no cogent message. United States is ready to go. I talked to President Trump on Tuesday night extensively. They're ready to go because Trump understands. He's got to get this done, and the economy's got to snap back in order to win the midterms. Right. I mean, this isn't complicated stuff.
Starting point is 00:37:57 No. But at the same time, he did the right thing. And anybody who says he didn't do the right thing, just doesn't know history, and they don't know the danger of nuclear weapons. They just don't know it. Or don't care. And there are a segment of people who just don't care. They don't care. They don't care.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Right. And they believe Tucker Carlson, that anti-Semite moron, and they just don't care. these other people. But, you know, one interesting fact here, maybe not fact, but it comes from Trump, it's fact. He says, we're talking to Iran. They say, no, no, no, we're not talking. He's lying. I believe Trump. We're talking to Iran. They want to settle this. We want to stop it. So the question is, if there's really nobody to talk to, like I'm hearing that Vance and Rubio basically taking over for Whitkoff and Kushner, if there's nobody to talk to, then who makes a decision in Iran to do what's... Trump says is going to happen, which is they're going to fold.
Starting point is 00:38:53 I don't know. The story about Vance and Rubio is not true. I came out of a newspaper called a Guardian, which is very bad paper. Yeah. It is Whitkoff and Cushner, and they're ready to go to Islamabad. It's all set up. But who is there I'm going to send? I don't know. I don't know what President Trump knows. Right. They're trying to get, you know, some kind of semibus. of organization. But what the hope is is they'll sign the deal and Iran will be so weak, their own people will overthrow them. That's what the hope is. But it's not going to be a regime
Starting point is 00:39:32 change situation now because the American public doesn't want infantry going into Iran. And I'm with that. You cannot put those American soldiers on the ground there. Agreed. Because there are so many terrorists in the country, going to have an Iraq situation, which you don't obviously want. 100%. Well said. Let me move it back to America. You heard me talk about Gorman on the way in. I don't know how anybody, Bill, I'm sorry. I know I'm in the bag for Trump. I know how anybody could vote for a Democrat. This young girl takes a walk on the beach to see the northern lights. And this guy may have been trying to make a gang some initiation. We don't know exactly the
Starting point is 00:40:15 motive, but he takes a gun and he shoots her in the back. He murders her. He murders her. And somehow the mayor, who's a bad guy just like Mom Donnie, maybe not as bad as Mom Donnie, but close. And the governor, they're making it about Trump. They're making it about immigration reform. I mean, can you take a day off? You've got a dead young girl. Can you take a day off from being an asshole, Bill? Is that too much to ask? Look, as long as the voters in Chicago don't care, and you can walk down. the street, you can drive the Dan Ryan Expressway into town,
Starting point is 00:40:54 park your car, and walk around and mention this young woman's name, the loyal student who's now dead. And I will tell you that 80% of people don't even know who she is. Terrible. This doesn't have to happen,
Starting point is 00:41:09 but the politicians are allowing it to happen because they don't care. And people have a hard time believing that. But there's venality and there is a apathy at the part of many American politicians, and it goes to both parties at some point, where it doesn't matter if the girl's dead or not. Pritzker is the worst governor in a country, but he's been that way for years, and he's still
Starting point is 00:41:36 vote for him. Right. There's no excuse for it. And so as long as that happens, all you can do, responsible journalists and responsible people in the media is pointed out time after time after time. and maybe it'll get through down the road, but it's certainly not getting through yet. No, I mean, she still wins here.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Kathy Hockel, my dear friend, our friend, Bruce Blakman, running against her. She still wins. Gavin Newsom still wins. These aren't bad politicians. I know you spent some time with Gavin on that San Francisco trip, but they're the absolute worst. You know, you can really date it back to San Francisco, for me at least, Bill, because I'm not the historian that you are.
Starting point is 00:42:15 These crimes of illegals murdering beautiful people. Kate Steinley, I remember that blonde, beautiful face on the pier in San Francisco like it was yesterday. You can date that back to San Francisco. Sure. And Kate's law was killed by Senator McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky. They were all set to vote, straight up, down vote, in the Senate on it, and he killed it. Because he didn't like a punk named O'Reilly, write up legislation, which I did. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:46 So, look, there's corruption, but it always comes back to the people, just like in Iran. How much are you Persians going to take over there? I mean, what has to happen before you say enough? You did it with the Shah. If you were in confronting evil, we walked through how the Shah got decapitated over there, and it's exactly the same thing. So when are you going to get out there? And I know they're afraid and all that, but there are ways you can do things.
Starting point is 00:43:16 like this and boot these guys out. Why does America have to do everything? You know? And then the cowardly Europeans and, oh, it just goes on and on and on and on. But when you come down to it, it comes down to selfishness. I want power. I want money. I don't want to pay attention. I want to be on my phone all day long. I don't want to have to hear about these terrible things. And it's all personal selfishness. If you get involved, you're You know what's right and wrong. There's not two sides to this story. No.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Trump did the right thing in Iran. You can't let these bad people have a nuclear weapon, and they can hand off to some terrorists and blow the hell out of any city they want. You can't. You just can't do that. And then you give the historical things about Germany and about Mao and about all these other stuff, and the people's eyes glaze over. They don't want to pay attention.
Starting point is 00:44:14 It's not fun. Yeah. You're right. Okay? Yeah. I mean, oh, it's so discouraging to me. But anyway, I want everybody to watch that tonight. Nine o'clock News Nation on a Riley's special, old-time reporting.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I don't see that much anymore. I'm there right in the middle of it. One headline. The drug trafficking in San Francisco is controlled by Honduran gangs who are here illegally and are protected by the state of California. You will jump up and down when, when you hear how bad this is. Yeah, I believe it.
Starting point is 00:44:49 And while you're at it, while we're promoting in the last minute or two, stuff to watch from Bill O'Reilly, a quarter of the corner of my eye yesterday, our mutual friend, Bobby Baccarat from the Sopranos and Anthony from Blue Bludge with Rosanna Scotto, talking about the Garden of Dreams.
