I really feel sorry for Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica. I just can't imagine the suffering with the children and all of that that this woman has endured. Now, she continues with the Kirk legacy and the organization. and she gives out speeches and things she's actively involved with social media. And that's a good thing.

Carrie is on what her husband Charlie Kirk was doing. I came across the Soundbite, and I don't live on social media. We do use YouTube a lot because of the information flow. But I'm not in there for... analytical purposes. Information is what I need. But I saw a soundbite from Erica Kirk that I want to bring to your attention. Roll it. During an act of shooting, these journalists are using their phones to find moments to capture for clips. They were so concerned about getting a video in a room with an active shooter that they could have accidentally and quite literally filmed themselves being shot. Many of those people have become so desensitized that fight or flight became secondary to the opportunity of putting themselves into the story, which ironically breaks the number one rule of journalism.

And while we may have big problems with illegal immigration in this country, I have to tell you we have an even bigger problem when it comes to this systemic indoctrination and radicalization of our own citizens. This is what got my husband killed. This is what has led to three legitimate attempts on President Trump's life. Very interesting comments. So Ms. Kirk was there, and she was up in, toward the dais in the room, huge room, 2,000 people. She was up where the president's cabinet were. I was in transit going to my chair when the shooting broke out and told you all about that. I heard four very loud shots.

Subsequently, we learned there were five. And I looked around and had a U.S. Marshal standing there and got the story very quickly. I did not hit the ground, whereas almost everybody around me did. They're under the tables. Okay. So maybe down where she was, there wasn't that much of a reaction. I don't know. I couldn't see it. It's too far away from it. I do know that Wolf Blitzer was under a table and apparently he thought somebody was after him. I don't know. It was insane. But I didn't go down because I had to see the story. I had to get the story. And I did. All right, and I gave it to News Nation.

Their correspondence were there and they had it live, I don't know, within a minute. That's my job. There wasn't any self-aggrandizement involved in it at all. And my son actually scolded me, he goes, well, you could be, could have got your head blown off. And I said, you know, this isn't a first time. That could have happened. But my job is when I'm in a zone where there is a.

major story happening. I have to see the story. I can't be ducking. And that's my philosophy. I could be wrong. And I'm not criticizing Erica Kirk for saying that these people become so desensitized. They want to put themselves in a story. I did not see it that way. I thought they was scared and then when the Secret Service ran into the room which is only about how to be 45 seconds after the shots they were in there okay running down the aisle toward the president so I didn't see that the press was macho in it up you know wanting to find out what happened I I saw them under the table most of them and some of them were quivering not going to name any names, why would I do that? Okay. But the second point that Erica Kirk makes is the more

important point, the indoctrination and radicalization of our own citizens. That's happening, particularly among younger people with not much life experience. And it's happening because of social media, whereby when I was coming up, even due to the O'Reilly factor, you didn't have this, cacophony tower of babble on your machine, on your device. This industry has only developed the last

five years where you get these crazy pundits saying this crazy stuff and they all yell at each other and they're trying to make money and get attention. That's new. So when I was reporting for ABC and CBS and then subsequently analyzing for Fox, my job was I had to deal with the facts. And if I didn't, if I made stuff up, it wasn't, and I didn't, of course.

But there were people who did, and they got it. Woodshed time. Okay? Now you can make up anything you want and throw it on out there and engulgulble people or lazy people. Oh, look at this. It was a conspiracy. The three assassination attempts were a conspiracy. That's out there.

people are peddling that along with a whole bunch of other crazy conspiracy stuff and the weakest among us mentally emotionally the weakest absorb it and this nut from California who ran down into a lobby

with a loaded weapon under some delusion he could get to the president and I've said this before, there's no way this man could have been near the president the way that whole thing was structured in D.C. There's no way. Anybody would have known that. All you had to do is just stroll right through the lobby.

And he could have because he was staying at the hotel. And you can see, I'll never get down there. But he did it anyway. And he writes this loopy manifesto trying to justify what he did, okay, before the action. This guy's a loon. And I mean that literally. Now, was he incited by social media? Good chance.

The people, the guy who killed Charlie Kirk's, Charlie Kirk, I think he was incited, absolutely think it was. And Trump is Trump. So I disagree with Erica, who I don't not know. But I'm disagreeing with her in a holistic way that the journalists were trying to insert themselves in the story. They were scared, most of them. But I agree with her that the radicalization of people in America is on the rise because of irresponsible media, both social and traditional. Here's my News Nation appearance with Leland Vitter.

said this in the tease to our segment tonight. I said, can Trump afford to restart the war? Or can he not afford to restart the war? Can he afford not to restart it? Which one is it? Well, it's both. Because if there's an opportunity to nail this thing down so that the mullahs allow weapons inspectors in to examine the uranium,

and ballistic missiles, which is what has to be in any treaty. The other things will fall into place. Now, to get them there is very difficult, exceedingly difficult. And I said at the beginning of this, and you remember it, biggest gamble, President Trump's ever taken his entire life on anything. Yeah. Because it's not like Venezuela. It's not like other countries.

Theocracy, it's fascism. They don't care whether they live or die or their people live or die. However, they don't really have a lot of resources left, the Iranians. But are they going to go down, pardon the pun, with the ship? Are they going to do that? That's what the president is waiting to see whether they will at least give the world a break. And I just, you can't call it. You just can't call it.

No, look, I think the way they're trying to sell this is interesting. Kelly's reporting was fantastic. Marco Rubio Pete Hegseth both briefing tomorrow and an appearance by President Trump. And every time he sort of says, hey, look, it's short, gas prices are going to come down. We'll put some of the prices that we were all experiencing up on the screen. At this point for public opinion, does it matter what Trump and the administration say, or does it really only matter how Americans feel every day economically? It matters to 50% of the country.

50% of the country, according to the polling, if good news is delivered, will accept the good news. And overall, they understand why the conflict is happening. The other half hates Trump or they're Democrats and they want power in the midterms. They have a lot of other agendas swirling around there. So about half the country is still listening to the president in his cabinet, I think. Okay. Half the country. You can win an election with half the country. In terms of that, though, GOP leaning independence, 73% in term one, now down to only 53% in term two. Now, you make the point that that could bounce back if we get good news.

The other way to try to get it to bounce back is to remind people of how much worse it could. be, say, under Joe Biden, which is where part of Trump's team has gone. Take a listen. Judge Field prices have gone up. This story was not written because of the Iran War. This story was written years ago because of what Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, people to judge. The withholding by the Biden vegans of literally millions, millions of acres of grazing land. The last administration, moving cattle, doing everything they could to basically eviscerate the cattle industry. This is just more of the mess we inherited from the Biden administration. Bill, whether they're right or whether they're wrong, the irony, of course, is this was the

same argument made by Democrats in 2022. None of these problems were Joe Biden's fault, and they may not have been. But the American people held them responsible. Is there any reason to think they're going to do something different with Donald Trump? No, that's not going to work. It's never worked. If you look back at administrations that got into trouble, Lyndon Johnson, Vietnam, Carter with Iran, Nixon, you can blame anybody you want, but they're going to hold you the voters accountable because you're the president of the United States. That's it. So going back to how bad the Democrats are and poor Biden's leadership was, not going to get you

any votes. What will is if there is a victory and then the oil prices go down quickly, which both are very possible, and I'm rooting for both. That'll help. But if you're going to go back to history, that's not going to do it, in my opinion. My humble opinion, here, Leland. Yeah, we know of many things you're noted for your humility, Bill. I think about what Cuomo said the last hour. You can argue with him about this on Wednesday, but he said, you know, he's for America winning, and America winning is winning the war against Iran, putting the mullahs in their place, reopening the straight, getting some kind of result when it comes to the nuclear material and the like. The question's going to be for Republicans, though,

how quickly that happens. The timeline clearly is why we're seeing this pressure and action by President Trump. That said, yours and my former colleague at Foxx, news, Carl Rove, made the point that Republicans at some point are going to have to make a choice between sticking by the president and acknowledging the pain of the American people. Take a listen. They've got to show they have another act, not just vote for me because of what I've done, but vote for me because of what I want to do? Here's the agenda that I'm going to work hard for in my next term. And that agenda has to come from them. Can't be given from the leadership, can't come from the president, it has to come from them.

Is there room for Republicans to move away from Trump? No. That's the answer to that question. No. He's the ship. Carl's wrong? You're either going to sail with it or go down with it. What Roe is talking about is that he wants the individual people running for office in

November to be better campaigners, to connect with the voters in an emotional way. And of course, that would be best for the Republican Party if that were. were to happen. But 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. You say he's charismatic and populace. There's nobody who is, I think, a better or loves the presidency more than Donald Trump does, no more accessible president that I've ever covered or known of. But he keeps minimizing the war. He calls it a minimum. War? Take a listen.

Like, we have a war right now, and we're to, like, what, six weeks? They said, what's taking so long? We were in Vietnam 19 years. Our country's booming now, despite the fact that we're in a, I call it a mini-war, because that's all they are. Last 30 seconds, Bill, should he be calling it a mini-war? Doesn't matter. What the president says? It doesn't matter? No, it doesn't matter if he calls it a mini-war. War, mini-weets or mini-whatever, mini-me, it doesn't matter.

The only thing that matters is victory, number one, and then the fruits of that victory, which would be a relief on all prices. They would go down. Yeah, that's what we have. Descriptions of what's happening in the Persian Gulf, even the Straits of Hormuz, most Americans have no idea what you're talking about. Bill O'Reilly, thank you. very much. Here's my weekly

appearance with W.O.R.'s Mark Simone. So your latest, we'll do it live. The guest is Sid Rosenberg. That's amazing you landed, Sid. You know, he's a very shy guy. Doesn't usually like a lot of attention, but you got him, huh?

Yeah, I had to stand on his front lawn and demand that he come out to do. We'll do it live. It worked out very well. He's got a very compelling story for everybody, almost committed suicide at one point, and, you know, storm back and taking control of himself, which is going to hear that, that we could do that. That's parliamentary coming up on Thursday.

Yeah, great guy. And, yeah, so take a listen to it. We'll do it live as the podcast. Just go to billowrilly.com. You can get the link there. Barack Obama, who was all forgotten about, is suddenly all around. Why is he back? What is he up to? Must be a kingmaker for the Democratic Party in 2008.

He's still very actively involved in, like to dump the whole. Barack Obama, say it. Maybe if I'd grill, he might be able to save it a little bit. So, you mean it's going down the shoot by going so far to the crazy left, and he wants to pull it back to the center? It's actually more than that. You know, that's the prevailing wisdom. them that the progressives are taking it over and they want the trans guys playing with the

women on the soccer field or whatever it may be. But it's really more than that. Segment in the Democratic Party, not a noble nation. They seem to pay their bills because make $300,000 a year, they're not. Barack Obama's that began with momentum. And he sees this as a disaster because most Americans are not going to subscribe to this, I believe than the rest of the country and we have a god but ma'm downy believes we are not a noble nation that he can while he's in office Obama sees that as dangerous that's fascinating but you know

who one of the worst was at that was uh Michelle Obama so if Barack couldn't cure his own wife how's he going to cure the Democratic Party well I don't know I'll tell you that Michelle Obama's all emotion yeah and Barack Obama's all times it was emotion driven it was emotion driven When Barack Obama makes a mistake that comes out to hurt him like the guns and Bibles line, you know, the guns and Bible people. Yeah. Well, when you want to get something done, an emotional person isn't the right choice. And an intellectual is usually kind of useless.

So I know. Yeah, but Barack Obama's got cachet in the Democratic Party far more than anyone else. Yeah, that's interesting. So, but you know, as the first black president, here's the guy. who really could have helped really heal the nation. And in many ways, he didn't. It was, he wasn't successful at that. They all get trapped, including President Trump.

They all get trapped in trying to please their most fervent supporters. And stepping back and say, look, this is my role in history. This is what I want to do for the country is what I want, equation comes in, but they're up against the establishment, because the establishment, because the establishment, establishment problems here. It's not the individual America. Of us are hardworking people with a pretty good vision. I live in down the street.

Bill O'Reilly, when you want to think or get something done, you'll probably go in your office, close the door, you're all alone. But you've been in the White House. The president never really alone. There's a thousand people coming and going. There's a million assistance. How hard is it to think straight when you're sitting there in the White House? Well, he's got to, he's wandering around up there all night,

in his second floor residence. Every time I speak to President Trump, he's very clear and cogent on what he wants to do. He's not foggy like Biden, and he's not equivocating like even Ronald Reagan did sometimes. You know, and a border would be a great example of a, he didn't think it out, know how to get there. Yeah. And that's, I could have been on yours, this is the biggest gamble that Donald Trump's ever taken in his life. anything. The mullers who do not care whether there

are people live or die. Then you're putting them into a category that's almost impossible to deal with. If somebody doesn't care now, they could rebuild their country. All they have to do is with the weapons inspectors, and they wouldn't even do that.

Yeah. Well, he's not a politician. He's a billionaire entrepreneur, and those guys, you know, they'll go way out in the limb, they'll take a gamble, they'll pull the trigger on an idea. But they also know how to bob and weave and in the middle of chaos, figure out a way out. So don't you think it'll all end well? I don't know.

He doesn't have much time now because $5 a gallon of gas is coming by Memorial Day. I don't care about Iran anymore. Yeah. Bill O'Reilly, what is Marco Rubio doing going to see the Pope? What's that all about? That's Dayton. It doesn't do anybody any good to have a... feud between the Pope and the President and then Maloney, the Prime Minister of it, you know,

came down on the side of the Pope. She almost had to in Italy. And Rubio is a very good negotiator. Make everybody friends again. And I think he's going to be successful in doing that. Oh, that's interesting. Can we do that with you and Gavin Newsom? Are you guys surprised? Yeah, anytime. You know, I, in San Francisco, we demanded I get fired off the Jimmy Kimmel. stuff. Hypocrisy in the media. Let me just tell you a quick one, WOL, this might be

interested in. It was a savage murder out here on Long Island over the weekend. A mother of three and another woman, knifed to death by an El Salvadoran migrant. That's what the editorial policy of the paper is.

Kind of news coverage. More, because a lot of times it's just, this don't tell you about it. So with Donald Trump and in Iran, I don't know how that's going to come out. Yeah, but Newsday's always been very slanted, very to the left. Yeah, but that's

really egregious. Yeah. I mean, really. A mother of three stabbed to death, and then the guy stabs another woman to death, and you don't cover it? Yeah, because it's an illegal... You've been around a long time, Simone. Yeah.

I mean, he goes... But that's how... Bill O'Reilly, thanks for being with us. Listen to me, as I join News Nation. We're going to get to a lot, but first we have to ask you about the breaking news tonight that Jeffrey Epstein allegedly left a suicide note. It was released by a federal judge. His cellmate, who is named Nicholas Tartaglione, said that he found the note in July 2019

after Mr. Epstein was found responsive. I think it's strange that we're seeing it come out now, but what say you? I'm not a conspiracy guy, Katie, as you know. If the note has been validated by the courts, it shows a narcissist not repentant for anything, and that's the mark of a narcissist. But I don't think this has much to do with the case itself, except in a conspiracy realm. That somebody killed them, they marched in there. whatever, you're going to hear that the note is a fraud.

I don't know. But it's hard for an analyst who doesn't have access to all of this stuff to make any really coging comments on it. Yeah, like you said, it's an official court document that was released by a judge. So they probably went through some kind of verification process. Let's get to now more urgent matters that are happening right now. The war in Iran, of course. President Trump seems to be at a crossroads.

Either he's going to make a deal with the regime or go back and try. try to finish the job militarily. They're looking for a diplomatic solution. You know the president very well. Are you hearing anything about what he wants to do? No, because it changes every hour on the hour. Basically, he's got reporters that are working for him with Koff and Kushner. And they're briefing him on what the reaction is from the Iranians they have access to. But every hour on the hour, it changes. changes. President Trump has got to understand. He's a smart man, the growing anger in the United States. And people, $5 a gallon, they don't really understand this Iran stuff anyway. Very complicated.

And so the president knows he's got to move on it or the midterms are lost. So that's where we are. But what about the argument that midterms may be, A, may not be lost, but B, that they were lost anyway, so he should finish the job that he started, and he keeps saying we'll get a nuclear-free Iran in return for some short-term pain here, something that we've been wanting to do for years as a legacy item. Well, it's a valid point. So if there is a Pentagon strategy that would eliminate the mullahs from enriching uranium, then I'm all for it.

Every American should be for it. Do you think that- Wait, what kind of moron are you if your gas problem overtakes the threat of a nuclear device? However, once you hear over and over and over and over something that turns out to be delayed, then people get angry. They're starting to get annoyed. And that's what's happening. Yeah, we know Americans like decisive action, which is why it was so impressive. The president decided to take these actions in the first place. But do you actually think that the Iranians are willing to make a good faith diplomatic agreement here?

I mean, just given what we've known about the deals of the past and how they've cheated their way through the system forever, can we really trust that we're at the end of the road here and that we wouldn't just be back where we are in 10 years? No. You can't trust Iran to do anything. But you can live to fight another day. And if this thing continues to hurdle, I wouldn't say it's out of control. I mean, I think the Pentagon knows what its options are. I don't get the debrief, so I don't know. But the growing anger of Americans not understanding what's happening because it changes so often.

that is a political calculation. It has to be taken into account. It's not all about just bombing the hell out of somebody. It's about making sure that we get what the president promised. That is, Iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon. That is the key to all of this. Let's move back to where we were a couple of weekends ago. We were both at the White House correspondence dinner when, of course, that armed man tried to storm into the ballroom.

His goal was to assassinate President Donald Trump. He's been charged with that. He also wanted to go after a number of his cabinet officials. There's a new DHS report that shows that the Ron War may have been a motive for the suspects. What do you make of that? Of course. I mean, all anti-Trump propaganda, the hatred directed toward the man, affects mentally unstable people. and I think that's what this guy in California is.

All right. It just gives them a justification to do heinous things. And they, well, I'm virtuous. I'm a virtuous guy. Because I believe this or I believe that. You know, they live in crazy worlds that they manufacture through the Internet and things like that. But of course. But I'm not going to tell you, nobody could, that if there weren't any,

action in Iran, this guy wouldn't have done the same thing. He's unstable. Right, he hates Trump. We ought to run, Bill, but I want to ask you about Ted Turner. Of course, the media mogul, he was famous for founding networks like CNN, passed away at the age of 87. You didn't always agree with him, but you were able to sit down with him for some great debates over the years.

Let's take a look at one of those. Is America a good country? Not the great country. Are we exploitative overseas? Is the war on terrorism largely our fault? No, I wouldn't say largely, but I think if we stopped bombing people and sent doctors and scientists and engineers around the world that we'd make a lot more progress and we wouldn't have near as much terrorism in the world as we do. I think bombing just makes people angry and they want to bomb you back. Well, I think they bombed us first.

I'm not apologizing for my political views. I've come to them after a lot of careful thought and study and research. And I consider myself a progressive, not a liberal. Bill, your thoughts on the progressive, Ted Turner. I kind of like Turner. Did a lot of good things environmentally, bought up a lot of land for protection out West. He made perhaps the biggest mistake in broadcast history. you're a little girl, Katie.

1996, Fox News comes on the air, and I was there, and Turner was trying to keep his off the air in New York City, particularly, used every bit of power he had to keep Fox News off the air. He didn't want the competition for CNN. And then when we broke through that, thanks to Rudy Giuliani, the mayor, he said, I don't care. squash them like a bug. That's a quote. I got to tell you inside the main players at Fox News, we took note of that.

I bet you did. That was a big, big motivator. Yeah. And subsequently, bright-ass history turned around, and FNC crushed them. Yes. So that Mr. Turner,

respect them. Eighty-seven years old. had a good life, but he did make one huge mistake in the media. Well, I guess nobody's perfect, right? Bill O'Reilly, thank you so much to joining us. Great to see you, and thanks for your thoughts about Ted Turner. Please join me

and Sid Rosenberg on Wab WABC Radio. He's got this new podcast, so do it live, which I was honored, I really was, to be a guest of his, very surreal for me. About last week, it dropped a week ago today. It's

doing big, big numbers. over 100,000 last I checked this morning, big numbers. So Bill O'Reilly, the best of all time and still the best. Thank you again for having me on the podcast, and it looks like at least numbers-wise, it may have paid off. Yeah, I mean, you're a big, big shot now. You're a burger. You're a big shot.

You're funny. You remember the Billy Joel song? That's you. No, I was nervous. I was like, I was like, I can't. get killed by Janine Piro or Rob Schneider or Steve Shapiro or Lindsay Graham. I got it at least, Shapiro, I should say. I got to at least be competitive.

So I was, as you know, I called you once or twice. I was actually checking the numbers every day. Yeah, but you have a very good story to tell. We called it. And, you know, on a number of different levels. So I appreciate you doing it. Now we got Chaz, Pellman Terry. He drops today.

Nice. And he's got some very interesting. stories nobody's ever heard about his climb from the Bronx to prominence. Do you realize his show, a Bronx tale, and I don't know if you've seen it, but it's brilliant, it really is. I have many times. 37 years. That long.

Wow. That show has been viable. Yeah. And he's going to London to do it in Lester Square do the show. Oh, wow. And I go, why would people in London, want to care about a Bronx Italian guy, you know, trying to write the ship. It's got that quality about it.

And he's a good guy, you know, and Chas. He's a good guy. Love him. And, you know, because of that show, there was a great movie with him and De Niro. There was an amazing Broadway show. Yeah. And, see, De Niro doesn't, he doesn't run around on a movie set, so with his crazy philosophy. And Chaz is the first guy that told me that.

He doesn't try to impose his nutty view of life, De Niro's. Yeah, well, let me stop it for a second. But the reason why is because a bronze tale was made long before Donald Trump was president. And even the staunchest of Democrats were not retarded like they are now. That all came with President Trump. That's when De Niro lost his mind. Yeah, but he was really far out there before. Trump came on the scene as far as his view of how the country should run.

So anyway, I noted your conversation with Stephen A. He's making a few mistakes, and I hope he's listening now, because it's my job in life to make sure that you, Stephen A, and Cuomo are all in positions to succeed. And sometimes you wander off the path of success. And I have to drag you back on. I'm like a Boy Scout. So unlike sports, politics does not have a last game approach in the sense that it doesn't matter what you did in the last game.

It doesn't matter at all. What matters is what you're doing now to win the game today that you're playing. So, yeah, you got two home runs on Monday. nobody cares about that on Wednesday. Not the same in politics. So what President Trump is facing now is that he's got to do two things. Number one, bring the Iranian situation to a successful conclusion. Now, no matter what he does, the Trump haters are going to say it's a lousy deal and he blew it.

But most Americans aren't under that banner. If he gets a treaty or whatever they want to call it and says weapons inspectors are going to get in there and we're going to blunt this nuclear ambition, that's a win. Let me stop. Let me stop a second. Because I agree with the first part, okay. But again, what I keep popping on, because you're saying it's a win, is time matters. It does matter. No, but listen to me.

So that's a win. Now, whether the campaign to get there was worth the win, they call it a Pyrrhic victory. Okay? Yeah, okay, we won, but it wasn't worth the price. That's what Trump has to calculate, and that's why it's such a difficult situation now for him. So is it fair then, even if you love Trump like I do, to worry a, about the last portion you just mentioned, that it's taking too long or that it costs too much, or all of those things.

And that's what he's keeping him up at night. So he knows he's got five months to convince the American people that his administration is better for them. And he's got a big advantage because the Democrats are ridiculous. And so there aren't people clamoring for any Democratic politician. and in the House and Senate runs, it's the same thing. So all of these people tie themselves to progressive policies, which have turned out to be disasters across the boards.

There's really nothing to root for there. But if Trump gets his victory, then you definitely will see the economy just explode in a good way. So the oil price will go down, inflation will go down, All of these things will happen because they're artificially pumped up. Also, not real. This is just, well, we're charging $5 a gallon because Iran, you know, is doing X.

And so Trump does have, he can get momentum to swing into November. So for Stephen in Israel, they're wax, and they're not coming back. And that's a tough bet. That is a very tough bet. But he's got to win it soon because he's growing anger, and anger is hard to dissipate. So people are going, look, I don't understand this anywhere, and they don't. Okay. And now I've got to pay all this money, and Trump told me he's going to do no foreign wars.

That's all they can think about. And they repeat it over and over and over and over. So Trump knows you've got to get out of there. And that brings you back to my initial point, and you'll remember this. I said, when this started began, and I also had a conversation with the president about it, this is your biggest gamble ever. This is a ring thing because not like Venezuela. It's not even like China. I mean, these people have nothing to lose.

They don't care whether their own people die or starve. It's like the Chinese in 1949. Maloney-Tum killed 10 million of their own people. He did not care. It's the same mentality. So you're not dealing with somebody who wants a deal, not make a deal. You could force them. And I notice a French aircraft carrier, the only one they have.

I think it's named the Crusoe, is now going to the Persian Gulf. So behind the scenes, Trump's making progress in uniting somewhat, and we'll see how the Pope conversation goes, the world against Iran, which is a key. The Pope conversation has become interesting, too, because now Marco Rubio got involved and is trying to, I guess, broker peace. And that's the best guy to have involved. Yeah, you don't want Hegseth over there, you know, throwing water on the Pope. That's not good.

We don't want that. No, we don't. No, we don't. So this overwhelming, really his theme, Stephen A, was that, in his mind at least, and he's still nicks first, but he's a smart guy, very smart. In his mind, at least, the Republicans have already lost the midterms. And it wasn't just Iran. He talked a lot, Bill O'Reilly, about something you've actually criticized before, and that is the president's decorum. Was he overstating that?

I don't think that anybody who voted for Donald Trump really cares about the decorum issue. How could they? So he's run three times, and he had 77 million voters the last time around, waxing Kamala. I don't think one of those people gives a hoot about is decorum, because they all know that he's bombastic. That's why he's where he is. Right. So why would that factor in now? Are you just figuring it out?

Is the guy belicose sometimes? Right. You just get that? Come on. I know. It's stupid. Hey, let me ask you this. If Ken Griffin called you today, and he should because you're a very respectful guy,

very successful guy. One of the great New Yorkers who are in line up all the great New Yorkers, you're right there at the top bill. And he said, listen, man, this $6 billion, this mayor is really a jerk. He put my life in danger. He did a video in front of my house. And there are cities like Miami, which Bill O'Reilly, you know very well. That'll be gracious. And they want the money there.

And why am I going to waste my time with this guy? He's $5.4 billion in the hole. And for some reason, he feels a need to embarrass me. What should I do? What would Bill O'Reilly say? I'd say move. Wow. You know, I mean, Memdami is not going to change.

Like Trump. Not going to change. He's a communist. He's like Mr. Met. You know, we got a, we got a, idea, and he's communists. I think of Philly fanatics are communists, but I'm not sure.

So, you know, look, Griffin's standing there, and he's got an enormous operation, and when you have enormous wealth and resources, you can pick and choose where you want to be. All right? That's America. And so why would you got some guy yelling outside your window, we hate you, you capitalist pig?

Okay, well, you can hate me from afar. Go down and make my money. It's the same money. Yeah. And, you know, maybe you'll wise up someday. So, but I don't, I'm not, you know, handages on me all the time about moving out of New York. I can't move out of New York for family. It's annoying.

And business and all that. But even if I could move out in New York, I don't really want to move out in New York. I mean, this is my legacy here. This is the home team where I am. Now, I'm a different city. I'm in Nassau County in Suffolk, so I'm not dealing with the city craziness. But I don't want to flee the state, and that's what makes me angry about the leadership from Albany into New York City, because they don't care whether I leave.

They want you to leave. What do you mean? They're encouraging. They're actually... Cappia Hockel actually said, get on a plane. Absolutely. I stand corrected. They'd love to have me out of here, okay?

Because I'm a capitalist pig. Right. You know, somehow we flash back to 1968. Unreal. You know, I'm X, Y, and Z, and you're successful, so you're evil. I mean, that's the kind of mentality these people bring. Unreal. Yeah, you're a success.

It's terrible. So one more being that you are from Nassau County, your Nassau County Executive, Bruce Blakman, was in the Oval Office with President Trump for 90 minutes yesterday, and they discussed a variety of issues. He's gotten overwhelming endorsements from President Trump in his race against Kathy Hokel. And look, he was gaining quite a bit. Now he's down three points this week. To me, it's like radio ratings. I take it easy. Don't make yourself crazy every day and every week. comes out eventually. But, you know, the ratings for this week, at least, for Blakeman, he's down three points. He's now down 16. What are your real thoughts on his possibility of winning that race? Well, he could win the race, but he's got to get better known. If you look at the polling,

most of New Yorkers don't know who he is. And that's going to take money to go and visit every county and to, you know, store up the potential voters. And you say, look, this is what I've done because I can attest it. And this is no politics involved with this, nothing. But it was a very good job in Nassau County. And you know me. I mean, I'm pretty critical. Yep.

And as far as crime is concerned, as protecting people, looking out to what the best case scenario is for workers. And he's done a very good job here. But people in Mohawk, in, you know, the Finger Lakes, see, we, New Yorkers, we think this is like, why? This is the Yukon, right? The Finger Lakes in Alaska. We have no idea where they are, okay?

They don't know, Blakeman. All right, and he's got to get known. Because this is what could put him over the top. He's got to fight the city vote. And the city, I wouldn't spend a day in there if I were him. You're not going to get, you'll get Staten Island, but you're not going to get the other boroughs because the poor people want stuff, and stuff comes from the communists, and Mandan is a communist.

That's what it is. You just nailed it. You just nailed it exactly right. And he does do his fair share of travel up. there. I think it's understated what he does. But to your point, because I love the guy, Nome did some of the couple

of days ago where they asked people on the streets about Bruce they didn't know. So if that's an issue in Brooklyn or Manhattan, that's got to be a major issue in Utica or Rochester. Right, and it's hard to travel by covered wagon up there.

It takes a long time. And, you know, it's been a lot. Oh, God. Oh, is that the Uri Canal? In the way. And it's beautiful. You said earlier in the program,

Saratoga, you know, New York State's a beautiful state. Yeah, yeah. I mean, but you've got some people there, you know, living in Lean 2s in the Adirondacks, and it's hard for them to get the message. It is rough. Yeah. Monticello's not great either.
