Reese knows a thing or two about great combinations. Chocolate and peanut butter, obviously, but there's more than one way to Reese's. From indulgent Reese's big cups with caramel to crunchy Reese's pieces and Reese's miniatures, there's a delicious Reese's for every mood. It's the same combo you love, just with more ways to enjoy it. So whether you're snacking, sharing, or just treating yourself, nothing else is Reese's.

I'm Bill O'Reilly. You're listening to Around the World. Let's begin. You would think that the Democratic Party, which has certainly a shot to take back Congress in November of the midterms, would moderate a little bit. Think that they would say, you know what, the crazy progressives, the communists, the socialists, the trans people, all of this, the let out of jail, criminal people, we're going to tempt them down. No, that's not happening. And the leader of the PAC is Bernie Sanders, but he's so old now that he's not the force he used to be. So Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now the face of the socialist movement.

I believe the woman's a communist. I don't know if she knows the difference between socialism and communism. I'm sorry to be super-silly is here, word of the day, but I'm not thinking we're dealing with a PhD. in political science, even though the congresswoman and I attended Boston University, obviously not at the same time. Anyway, she's speaking at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics a few days ago, and here's what she says. America was founded.

You look at Thomas Jefferson writing to Madison in revolt of British aristocracy. The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time. And we were declaring independence from such an extreme marriage of wealth and power in the state that the voices of everyday people did not exist. Well, that is just a D. That's a D in any history class. And the only reason she gets a D is that she shows up. Number one, there were no billionaires, Congresswoman.

The king controlled all the wealth in Great Britain. There's no billionaires. There were lords. There were landowners, no billionaires. So the king told everybody what they could and could not have, kind of like you. All right, you're a queen. That's what the king did. George. And then this statement that the everyday people's voice did not exist. Well, obviously,

we won the Revolutionary War because the farmers and the merchants and the regular folks said, enough of this, we don't want to be told what to do. We don't want to be told by a government what we can and cannot have. Okay? That's why. I think that's a voice, and they rose up, half of them. Half of the columnists didn't want to divorce themselves from the crown. But half did and were successful, as everyone, with the exception of AOC, knows. So now she's peddling this nonsense as, oh, there were all these billionaires, and they crushed the voice of the people. people, and that's what we were fighting against in the revolution.

That is so crazy, I can't even tell you. The only name she got right were Jefferson and Madison, who would have scorned her, by the way, because they wanted the pursuit of happiness. They didn't want the government interfering in how you live your life. Okay, so then she's on something called It's Open, which is a podcast, and she's she continues her socialism touts. Go. There's a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned, right? You can't earn a billion dollars.

That's right. You just can't earn that. That's exactly correct. You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws. You can pay people less than what they're worth.

But you can't earn that, right? And so you have to create a myth that, since you didn't earn that, you have to create a myth of earning it. Again, Twilight's own time. So earn it, billions of dollars. Yeah, you can't go out and be a union person and earn a billion or even a million dollars.

What you can do though is if you find diamonds in your backyard that are worth an extreme amount of money, if you're lucky, then you can incorporate and form businesses. And those businesses, whatever product they're selling or servicing, They are the earner, but you're running them. And that's how the bean is, as Bernie Sanders would say, get the billions. They form corporations and they have a product that they invented, or somebody invented it, and they bought it or whatever it may be, and then they market the product to 350 million Americans who want the product, Apple or something like that, and then they become billionaires.

But this woman is no blank and clue of how corporations work or how macroeconomics work, doesn't know anything. Now, she calls herself a Democratic Socialist. What is the definition of that? Well, you go to the Oxford Reference Dictionary, and it says that Democratic Socialists are committed to overthrowing capitalism as an economic model while maintaining a commitment to political democracy. Okay, so they want to overthrow the system that allows people to accumulate wealth, which is,

of course, unconstitutional because the government has no right to do that. If you want to accumulate wealth, you can try. Now, the government's going to take a big chunk of it in taxes, okay, and try to prevent you from amassing a fortune. But if you've got a product, as I said, you'll overcome that. So Cortez is a communist. It wants overthrow capitalism. And it's really what communism is.

And the other stuff is just totalitarian methods. She says, no, no, no, I want people to vote. I don't want them to have a Putin or China system where they're told what to do. I want them to vote. Well, that's nice of it, right? So anyway, look, this is the radical progressive movement. And I thought it was going to be tamped down because most Americans are not comfortable with this, that huge government intrusion.

but it's alive and well. Here's my News Nation appearance with Leland Vitterk. Confronting evil, both confronting Iran and confronting China. The Chinese, we take a live look at Beijing. The famous saying goes, write the symbol for crisis as both danger and opportunity. Is it fair to say that Trump's presidency is in crisis at this point? I don't think that's fair. I don't think there's a crisis going on.

There might be a crisis come Halloween when the midterm vote is a few days away, but right now it's complicated as the cliche goes. So I talked to the president yesterday, and I did so because the Chinese, you may remember, I was in Beijing a year ago. I was hosted by the Pollard Bureau. They wanted to ask me questions about President Trump, and I answered them. But I had to debrief the president coming and going, and that's what I did yesterday. I mean, I'm in a unique position, as you probably know, of being a journalist, but I'm also kind of a diplomat. I don't know how this even happened. But if I'm going to do a call, which is said for tomorrow, with the Chinese, I've got to let the chief executive know that's happening.

So that was the impetus of me talking to President Trump, who was in pretty good spirits. He believes that he will prevail. But it's easier said than done. That's the second cliche I've used. Because there's a whole bunch of stuff. Let me give you an example. So one of the things the United States wants from Xi is cooperation to bankrupt Iran. Because Iran sells so much oil to the Chinese, and part of the deal is, we'll sell it to you.

The United States has an overabundance of oil. We'll sell it to you. You don't buy it from Iran. And once that deal is even announced, they'll have to surrender because they'll collapse. The economy will collapse, which is true. The problem with that deal is that in order for Xi to do it, he's going to want Taiwan. He's going to want all protections for Taiwan to disappear. That's how this stuff goes.

And it's very brutal because the United States can't really walk away from Taiwan. We've been protecting it since 19, what, 46, 47. And that would be a huge victory for China if the U.S. said, we don't really care about Taiwan anymore. That would send signals all over the world. So you can see how complicated this is for the president. Now, I don't know any inside baseball what he's going to bring to the negotiations. Two days isn't a long time.

So I assume they'll set the table for a longer. chat, but it'll have to be sometime this summer. Right. So, Bill, I think you're right that the Chinese would demand a very high price to bankrupt Iran. But you think about this in a different sense. The Iranians and the Chinese both use the same playbook. They both stroke Trump's ego. They both tell him that he's the one who can make a deal. They both offer him these imaginary big wins. And then they turn around and don't deliver on any of them. When is Trump both with Iran and with China going to have to demand that all of these flowery promises are met with good actions or there is serious consequences that no one seems to be

scared of? Well, with Iran, it's easy because there's really two things that are verifiable. Number one, you have to let the weapons inspectors in to see what you're doing with your uranium. Okay? And number two, you've got to get out of the streets of Hormuz. Nobody can control it. Yeah, the Iranians been playing Trump along for weeks now. At what point does he look weak by not extracting a price for them making him look silly? I don't think he's making them look silly. I think that the American people have expectations of victory seated by President Trump. But he doesn't want to kill civilians. And Trump doesn't want to kill civilians. He could do it.

He and Israel could go in and just wipe out all the communication centers in the entire country. Oh, come on, Bill. You're saying about it's a false choice here. You're saying about a false choice here between killing a bunch of civilians and continuing the war or starting to prosecute the Iranians in a forceful way. There's a big gulf between those two things. But I want to stick on this phone call that you had with President Trump. he's in good spirits. What does he feel like he needs right now

to get a win that changes the narrative for the American people? Well, he needs the Iranians to do those two things I just mentioned. Well, they've said they're not going to. Get out of the streets. How do you know? What are you missed to do you?

No, because Trump just told us the Iranians said they weren't going to do anything, and that's what their proposal was that he called garbage. They weren't going to give up the uranium the enriched uranium and they weren't going to reopen the strait. They wanted to control it.

Yeah, that's what came in today, what's going to come in tomorrow. So that's the plan, is you see what the Iranians come back with? No, I don't know what the plan is, but the threat of military obliteration certainly is there for Iran.

But Trump doesn't want to kill all those people. And that's what's holding them back from that. I think that in Iowa would go in tomorrow and kill them all. And maybe that's being unfair, but I believe he would. Trump doesn't want to do that. Trump's playing the game of everything changes every day, which is true. So if you can get Xi on board to help out by pressuring the mullahs to do these two things, then Trump wins this. All right.

But then you got Taiwan, what's he going to do about Taiwan? And then you got AI, artificial intelligence, the Chinese are ripping off the world, not just the United States, stealing AI stuff. Now there you can't control it. China's going to do what it wants. It doesn't care what you think. Well, so when China sees Trump draw these red lines day after day after day with Iran

and not follow through, you don't think that emboldens them? How is Trump, in your phone call with him, going to let the Chinese know that there's going to be consequences for their actions? But this has been going on for three years because of Putin. So nobody went in, NATO didn't go in, the United States didn't go in, and push Putin back, because they didn't want to start World War III. So this isn't new, and this is the way diplomacy works, that I assume President Trump will state a state, She, look, the clock's ticking, and if these people continue to do this, we're just going to blow him off the face of the earth. Now, whether she believes that or not, I don't know. I'll get a little taste of it tomorrow when I talk to the Chinese guys.

Yeah, you think the Chinese fear Trump? Fear him? Yeah. I think they fear him economically because they are going down to shoot on their export economy. So, yeah, I think they fear that if they can't sell their goods to the United States and around the world, they got 1.5 billion people to feed every day. That's a daunting task, let's put it that way. All right. Bill, thank you.

Here's my weekly appearance with WOR's Mark Simone. Hey, I love Chess Palmy and Terry. That was a great name. Thank you. Thank you. Not afraid to say that he's not a left-wing cook. He doesn't fear Hollywood. That's pretty good, isn't it?

Most of the actors that have reached, I'd say, 40, 45 years old because of their life experience, have kind of walked away from the madness on the left. Some of them have liberal sensibilities, but they're not activists like the younger guys are, because the younger people in show business understand that the more anti-Trump they are, the more jobs will come their way. Yeah. It's like a transaction. And we see that in music, too, that knit with Rod Stewart said some very inappropriate things the other day.

Well, guess is going out on a summer tour, and the tickets aren't really selling. Yeah. That would be Rod Stewart. So he's trying the Bruce model. Yeah, well, Springsteen. I'm taking the drifters. But the ones that are on the margin, no. You're seeing a lot.

Hey, Bill O'Reilly, the president goes to China. Later today, he leaves for the trip. You have just recently been to China, so you know everything he's in for. First of all, how bad is the plane ride? Well, not the greatest. You've got to bring some books and stuff to amuse you. In fact, in 15 minutes after I get off the Marks' mon show, I'm having a Zoom call with some of the Politburo over in China at their request.

How at the last stand is before Trump leave. And I did talk to the president on Sunday on this stuff, because I'm in a very unique position. I'm a journalist, but somehow I got dragged into diplomacy. So I did call on and told him. that this call was set for today. And that'll be interesting to see what the Chinese have on their mind. Now, just tell us some things like when you're over there, security-wise.

You can't bring your phone because they'll embed stuff in it, right? Yeah, you've got to bring a burner phone. You can't use your regular phone. You're being surveilled 24-7 if you're a person of note from America, that's for sure. Call me up. I'm not going to tell you who it is, and said, hey, I hear they take pictures of you in the shower. I said, number one, nobody wants a picture of you in the shower. And number two, I wouldn't worry about it.

They'll tap your phone, and they'll probably have a listening device. Nobody's falling you around with a camera. Oh, but they will have a microphone in your hotel room. The odds are. I did the James Bond thing in there, and I looked all over the place that I didn't find it. anything. But that James Bond, that was like in the 60s. Nowadays, it's so tiny.

You wouldn't even be able to spot it. Yeah, I mean, and they can do all kinds of things through walls and windows. And you have to assume you're being surveil. It was funny when I got picked up over there at the airport, Mercedes, and the guy, and he was there to listen and, you know, make sure we got where we were supposed to go. Yeah. So when you meet with Chinese officials, what is your impression of them? Totally untrustworthy, totally devious?

No, no, no. They come across the politest people in the world. A book with last May, the guys will talk to today, they speak English. Yeah. Very different. There are a few menacing guys in there, the director of security. That's, you know, the big guy, put it. If you're a Uyghur, you're in trouble, you know, he can incarcerate anybody wants.

Yeah, those are kind of menacing guys. Most of them are very, very polite. They'll never let you know what they are thinking. Yeah. If you were to negotiate with them and get something from them, is there any guarantee it'll happen? They're known for never, ever living by any negotiation. No, but that's all over the world.

So you get the best deal you can get, and then you get an enforcement clause, and that's all you can do. Yeah. Because you can't force you want them to do. You try to make it very, and that's what Trump is in his negotiations saying, look, this is going to benefit you a lot if you help us out with the friends over there. The United States could use a bad ban. These are they could destroy, and that's not good for China.

Okay, so if he says, help us and China says, all right, we'll help you with Iran. Now they see how much it bothers them, so they whisper to Iran. Hey, keep it up. You're really driving them nuts. What are we doing? Maybe. But it's more likely to be, we help you, Mr. President, then we want you to, that's more likely to happen.

Something that plays well, and of course. There's a lot of people worried about safety over there or that poisoned as food or something. How safe is he over there? Listen, compared to New York City, a couple of months. And no lawyer, because they can arrest you for anything and everything. thing. Hey, now Bill O'Reilly, you were there, aside from whatever

business you were doing there, did you say to yourself, what a wonderful place. I'd love to come back here. Well, you know, truly, you got the Great War, and then you had, you know, a bunch of stuff that as a journal, my son, you said the lead, he goes, no. In America,

you can, you know, forgive it a try. Not in China. They tell you what to do. Well, interesting stuff. Hey, here in New York, you've got you got these anti-Semitic protesters. They're terrorizing people at a synagogue. It had happened again last night. He got a mayor that never says a word about it.

It doesn't do anything. Have you ever seen anything like this in New York? No, I've never seen a man in office as radical as Mam Dani. He's the most radical elected official I've ever seen. You guys are flat-out communist. He despises Israel, thinks it's a fascist state. But as the great historian, we'll get through these four years, won't we? Oh, yeah.

But it's going to be a lot of people in the draconian rules that they're going to put into place. A lot of people lose. I mean, you could lose. If you're making a lot of money, you're an entrepreneur, so you own your own business, your own restaurant, whatever it may be, you can lose half million dollars in four years. City will take it. Yeah. Well, no, go ahead.

Finish it. He's a communist. for it because the people who voted for man, eat money. Thanks for being with us. Chris Cuomo and I duke it out on News Nation. They can't have a duke their weapon. I don't think about... Let's bring in Bill O'Reilly.

I don't think about the American financial situation. I just think about the regime not having a nuke. Vote for Republicans in the midterms. What kind of message is that, Bill O'Reilly? Well, number one, I enjoyed your full... I am Elmer Gantry rambling here in the beginning of the program. I hope you heard it. I hope you take it to heart because you need to live the message I was delivering.

And that's what Elmer Gantry told me that I need to devote my life to something. I was going for Norman Beale. Bird Lancaster was Elmer. Anyway, look, I'm here and I'm not. really interested in the trivia of this. I did talk to the Chinese today. Your producers should have informed you of that at noon. What did the Chinese say to you, Bill? I have some pretty good information. So number one, there will be discussions about China

helping the United States with Iran, to tamp Iran down. That's number one. But in return, the Chinese are going to want something, and that will center around Taiwan. Not a handover or anything like that, but maybe the beginning of a discussion about Taiwan. Do you like that trade? Yeah, I think it's good for us. 2049 is the 100th anniversary of the evil Mao Zey Tung's takeover of China, and they want, they being the Apollo Bureau, want the Chinese flag flying over that island nation. Now, whether that happens or not, who knows.

It's a long way out. But there's room for discussion about a number of things with Taiwan, and the Chinese at this point are just trying to get into the room. Now, as far as America is concerned, what do you expect Donald Trump to say? The truth. He's not going to say, oh, yeah, I'm weak. I see the prices going up, so I'm going to sell out my original concept of denying Iran. nukes. That wasn't the original

concept. The original concept was America First. The original concept was prices are everything and they have to come down and I remember you pounding that mantra to great effect all through the campaign and then as soon as he got elected remember what the message was. Bringing prices down is hard.

That was his original cell. Not Iran can't have a nuke. He never said that during the campaign. That wasn't a big thing. Now it is. This is history. This evolved. So you're a president of the United States, Cuomo, and you have Intel coming in from the CIA, the NSA, and Mossad. It says these people, the Iranians, are very close to getting a nuclear weapon.

That wasn't the intelligence he got? I think, yes, it was. Well, we just had the U.S. intelligence agencies put out information that they were not weeks away from having a nuclear weapon, just like Grassy from the IAEA. HegS. either made that up or got it wrong. No, it's a Reuters report. That's what you were citing last week, which was totally phony. Oh, really?

How do you know? The Wall Street Journal, because the Wall Street Journal citing the Institute for Science and International Security, whereas Reuters cited nothing just anonymous sources. The headline was, U.S. Israeli strikes set back Iran's ability to build nuclear weapon. The headline of Reuters that you jumped on was Iran no further from nuclear weapon than before war. Where it is is not a legitimate news agency. It's a partisan news agency that hates Trump.

But the Wall Street Journal is is a fair broker. The Wall Street Journal, no, it's what you think it is. But the Wall Street Journal is a fair broker. And the American intelligence agencies have said nothing about this. So odd in the Trump era, Bill, don't you think that something said that's not true

and he doesn't have them speak up and correct it? How do you explain that? Well, listen, the American intelligence agencies and Mosai, and Netanyahu confirmed it, I mean, I know you don't consider him a valid source, was that within weeks of getting enriched uranium, okay? So, the U.S. I agree with that.

I agree with that. So if you're a president. There's just a difference between having weapons-grade uranium and having a weapon. That's all. It's not me making this up. It's called, you know, it's called nuclear physics. Okay, fine. So if you're a president, and this is what you're presented with, and you're presented

with a scenario where you can take out the top terrorist leadership of the country, most presidents, not all, would do that. Okay? So that is not something that's from outer space or a diversion of anything else. Now, the problem is there are unintended consequences, and that's inflation. That's angry voters, because they don't like this. They don't know about what the danger is. They know about their wallet's shrinking.

And that's reality. It is. So President Trump is gambling that he can turn it around, all right, and that all the prices will come down quickly if he can negate the Iranian government. So he goes to China. He asks China for help. This is not going to be made public, of course. China will say either yes or no.

But it's in China's best interest because if you're... know anything about the country. What they value above all else is order. They don't want disorder. It's bad for business. They don't want whomews. They don't want any of this. And I understand that President Trump is going to offer China an alternative oil buy. So they'll be able to buy from the United States rather than Iran. That's a great idea. That's a great idea. Okay. No question about that.

All of that. Much better than the come-builder manufacturing factories here. I hope that's not true. I don't care about the factories, but there was a reason 16 CEOs went on this trip, and that is to negotiate the beginnings of a major, major trade deal with the United States. That's why they were on the plane. But anyway, what we're looking at here is another. gamble by the biggest presidential gambler of all time, Donald Trump. If he wins and the Iranians do pull back and the economy does, you know, explode in a positive way, that's going to mean

a lot in the midterms. One more thing that I saw on News Nation last night, it was shocking. So this guy Moulton, the congressman from Massachusetts-Cams-on News Nation, and he says, oh, we already had a deal. Barack Obama had a deal. We already had a nuke deal. We didn't do this. Barack Obama had negotiated a nuke deal, and they weren't going to develop nukes. Well, if that were true, which it isn't, okay, why wouldn't the Mullahs then agree to

weapons inspections? If they don't have it, if they never did it, if they abided by the law. what Obama wanted, why wouldn't they let you in to take a look? I mean, it was so, I'm sitting there going, are you crazy? And the answer is, of course. Do you hear a lot of people who are knowledgeable about the nature of the JCPOA, which, by the way, had a huge benefit over where we are right now? Right now we're alone with the regime's biggest enemy, which is the IDF. And then you had the P5 plus one who had signed onto it that could enforce snap sanctions, leverage their relationships. So just,

on the face of that one facet of it, it was far superior to where we are right now. But do you believe that all of the experts who say, well, if we had stayed in that, we wouldn't be in this situation right now because at least you had something and they wouldn't have been able to enrich the uranium the way they did only after Trump walked out of the deal? Do you say they're all wrong? Who's going to stop them from enriching? He was in weapons inspectors are not allowed in. So who's going to stop him?

Then why hadn't they enriched the uranium until after he walked out of the deal? I don't know the timeline about enriching uranium. I know that they were doing it when these intel reports came into the president's desk. I talked to the president on Sunday, by the way. I'm not name-dropping. I just want people to know I know what I'm talking about. Well, you mean that you're talking to him. That doesn't mean that you have better handle of the facts, just because you're talking to the president.

Okay, look. I mean, come on. Cuomo, I have to do my job, okay? And if you don't want to believe it, you don't have to believe it. I'm just reporting what is said and what makes sense. All right? Donald Trump is not a self-destructive man. He's not going to blow up the Republican Party in his own administration by doing something that's not necessary.

There was no reason to do that. All right? So I am saying that it looks like there is a reason. reason to do it. Now, whether he can get anything done with a genocidal regime like Iran, I don't know. I don't know. And then Yahoo doesn't know. And the Chinese are sitting over there, again, I'll reiterate this point because it's an important point, going, why'd you do it? That's a Chinese view. Why bother with these people? It's not just the Chinese. Because China is on one side of the globe, and Iran's on the other side

of the globe and China and have to deal with all the terror that Iran is imposing. And so when Trump is over there this week, very important meeting, by the way, the Chinese are, number one, thrilled to have him because it elevates their country in the eyes of the world. Number two, the agenda that they put together is pretty good. He's got the A team over there. Marco Rubio's taking on more and more authority, as he should. proven himself, okay? And the president and she get along personally, which is a very, very

important thing. So if you're an American rooting for your country, you want it to all go our way over there, correct? Yes, but I think that it is unfair to accuse people of a lack of patriotism because they look at this state at all, but that's the implication. So if you don't, if you have any Not the implications. If you have concerns about the setup and the factors and bringing over big business guys when you're supposed to be helping the American worker, that means that you want America to lose. I reject that premise. That's all I'm saying. Look, I didn't get into any of that.

But it's by implication. I got into a very simple question. Right. Simple question is this is the structure. This is what's happening. Do you want your country to win and you answer it appropriately, I believe? Yes. We'll see. Bill O'Reilly, I appreciate you laying it out for us.

Thank you for relaying the reporting, both from the president and China. Please join me and Sid Rosenberg on WABC Radio. You went to China a couple of months ago. President Trump was very interested in that whole trip. Now, you said that. I'm not saying something that's out of line. You said that, you know, you talked to him before, you talked to him after. So you got to know China just a little, but it does seem like whatever.

it's worth that China has really rolled out the red carpet here the last two days, and they're telling President Trump a lot of things he wants to hear, including, you know what? We'll buy our oil and gas from you. How about that? Yeah, I don't know. You know, I talked to the president on Sunday this week, and then I talked to a couple of the Chinese big shots on Tuesday. and look, what they say and what they do, you know, I'm not a Chinese sympathizer.

I think I understand the culture and they want to overthrow the United States and the most powerful nation in the world. That's their goal. But the president knows that. He is trying to harness some power to deal with the Muller's right now. so what they call triangulation that's really what's happening

over there you're never going to get what happens behind the scenes you're going to get the little hoisting of the toast and the tea and then some girl with an umbrella come dancing by and you know it's kind of like the old time laughing

but you know they being she and Trump they understand that they have to impose order on the world. And for the Chinese, order is everything. Everything.

And they don't like this stuff with Iran. They don't like it. It doesn't help business, and China needs to sell their products. So when we speak with Mr. Met tomorrow, I'm just going to go over to see if his head is made in Shanghai. Is that head or an American-made head? I doubt it. It's probably a Shanghai or Beijing, but that may change because, you know,

as you point out, about the business aspect of this trip, and a lot of the discussions about Iran and Trump will yell at him, grabbing by the year and say, stop giving those guys weapons and all those types of things. But the business side of this is so huge, 16 or 17 of our biggest and best CEOs, Elon Musk. I watched them on television this morning sitting there with Marco Rubio. And you have Jensen Wang from the video, and you've got Tim Cook from Apple and the guy from Boeing as well. And the video is saying yesterday, they're looking forward to selling chips to about 10 different Chinese firms. So it looks like already the business side may be paying off for us.

Yeah, I hope so. We need to calm everything down, but the Chinese have to give back a little bit. They have to help us, and they're never going to do it publicly. They're going to announce it. But behind the scenes, I mean, they've got to get these bullers under control because that's just disrupting the whole world's economy. And I'm hoping the president can pull that off and that she will go along with it. He seems very confident, and that's Trump, of course.

that's part of the reason why you love him. Yeah, I know. Always going to do that. Always. So, you know, he's not talking about a timeline, though. He's just, you know, he talked a couple of weeks ago. I may remember, talked about the length of Vietnam. He talked about the length of other wars, you know.

He said. Yeah, but he doesn't have it now. I told him, exactly. He said, we've been doing this for five weeks. Right. He doesn't have it because the midterms are right around the corner. That's the bottom line. But he was very confident, obviously, on Tuesday about the,

midterm outcome. What about you? I don't know. I mean, all I know is trying to get as much information as possible to do my analysis on those news and other, you know, on WABC and News Nation. And the information that I'm getting is that they will, they, the Chinese will make a deal but they always want a little bit more.

You know, it's not like a, a even deal. They always want a little bit more. And that's difficult. Yeah. You know, but Trump understands that

the Chinese are the key to American prosperity in the short term. And that's important because we have to once you just mull a thing under control, I think the economy will bounce back big, which is why you're getting

all the dissent from the Democratic party. They know that if this thing goes down, I interviewed Andrew Cuomo on, we'll do it live, which will drop today. And he wants to throw infantry in that. And he's like a big, let's go. Yeah. I was surprised. Yeah. And we're not going to do that, but certainly there's urgency, and the president understands that. One of the huge issues, we talk about business, we talk about Iran and the host of other things, but one of the huge issues that has come up

during these high-stakes meetings, Taiwan. And the Chinese are making it very, very clear that keep your distance, okay? You know, they got Taiwan, basically the whole perimeter is Chinese military. You know, it's almost that they're going in tomorrow. And the United States have made it very, very clear that if you do that, you can have a big problem with us as well as other countries. Yeah, China can't do that because of the economic sanctions and all that.

But China, people don't understand this around a while. That's an emotional thing with them. So in 2049, that's going to be the 100th anniversary of Mao, one of the most evil people on the face of the earth. people should keep that in mind, his takeover of China. And they have vowed that by that date, and that gives us some time that the Chinese flag will be flying over Taiwan. And you could do it a number of ways. It doesn't have to be an out-and-out military takeover because I don't think that will happen. But there can be negotiations about governments that do certain things.

and not, you know, but they are so emotional about that. And the rest of the world doesn't understand how the emotion, because she wants to be like the second now. So Trump wants to be the best president ever. She wants to be the best chairman ever. And he sees that pathway as China controlling Taipei, which I've been to Taiwan, one of the worst places. in the world.

Oh, my God. I can tell your stories. Oh, not bad, huh? I couldn't wait to get out of that, boy. Wow. If you go to the night market in Taipei, you'll never go anywhere again. I mean, they're cutting up snakes. Oh, it's like, get me out of here.

Yeah. And it's so crowded. It's so dense. You know, it makes Queens look like Montana. Yeah. I mean, people all over the place. But the other thing is that Taiwanese will fight. They will fight.

And they're well armed. So it's not like China can just walk right in there. No, it'll be a bloodbath. Yeah, it'll be a bloodbath. They're like, watch the Ukraine. I mean, let's face it. No, but it would be worse than Ukraine. Even worse.

Wow. Yeah. Wow. Because Taiwanese are have really sufficient. They know how to use them. There's not a big movement to, they don't want to be part of Communist China. They want to keep their capitalistic system. But this is, you know, these boys are not going to give up easy over there.

I agree. So, Bill, you're not Jewish last night, checked, even though you've got a lot of Jewish friends, including me. I'm working on it. I think you want to be. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of chanting. Chanting is good. But you are sensitive to what's going on.

I mean, what happened to move with Brooklyn. Just disgusting swastikas in Queens every night now. Yesterday at the NYU commencement address, they flew a swastika flag. People murdered on the streets of New York in London. I mean, it is so out of control. Anybody who downplays or minimizes anti-Semitism, is that the stupid or they're an anti-Semite? There's only put it. And then, you know, look, you're a great dad.

I love Spencer. He's a beautiful boy like my son. And Spencer would never do, or Gabriel, what this idiot Rand Paul's son did. But he did it. You know, William Paul got all drunk in a bar in D.C. and went after Mike Lawler, he thought Lawler was Jewish. And then when he found out he wasn't, he was like, oh, I'm sorry. But he wasn't apologizing for talking about the Jews. He was apologizing for attacking Mike as if he was Jewish. He went on to get worse, said, I wish all Jews were dead. I wish all gays were dead. The Jews. this, the Jews that. And I keep saying all morning long, kids got problems. Okay, so do I'm in recovery. Send the kid away. You want to use drunk as an excuse? Fine. I will deal with that because I'm in recovery. Where's his father? You're going to tell me that Rand Paul shouldn't say something like that's not my son. That's not how he raised him. Just say something. How can Rand Paul a member of Congress in that same chamber as Mike Waller not say a word? I don't know. I think it's wig is too tight. He does have horrible hair.

Yeah, whatever's going on up there, cuts the blood flow. So I know him a little bit. Ram Paul is an outlier. I wouldn't say he's irresponsible in the way he conducts himself, the senator from Kentucky. But certainly it's not a normal thing, what's going on. But I don't know any more than that. I think you're correct.

You were your son or my son. I mean, they'd be in some clinic in Botswana. Oh, God. You see him like, you know, we're going to get you out of here, number one, and figure out what the problem is. Right. And then try to lay low on it, whereas, you know, St. Paul really hasn't stepped up.

But we don't know what happens in family dynamics behind the scenes. We don't know if the boy is suicidal. We don't know any of that. So I kind of veer away from that kind of analysis because I just don't know. What I do know is I'm very disturbed about how the media is handling this anti-Semitism. So instead of destroying lives like they did with Me Too, okay? I mean, they destroyed thousands of lives, they, the media. and they concocted this incredible thing where, you know, all men were horrible and whatever.

Now, when you really have something that is damaging and dangerous, what do you hear from them? Nothing. Nothing. No. They run cover for the mayor, who was not going to the Israeli Day parade. He'll be the first. And by the way, let's not talk about Jews for a second because people get upset. Let's talk about Christians.

He did not go to the installation when Ronald Hicks replaced Cardinal Dolan at St. Patrick's Cathedral. He didn't show up. And he clearly has no respect for non-Islamic religion, which is a hallmark of the fanaticism. You know, you got to get along. Right. And don't you believe that a lot of these pro-Hamas animals, that's what they are? some of them yeah they get paid by sorrows not all of them i'm tidy hearing that too there's a lot of really lost people in our society they got nothing they got no jobs no family they're miserable they want a cause this is their new cause let me hide my base what you can't do in your county your nassau county thanks to bruce and mazzi let me hide my base and hate on the jews it's cool now it's great don't you think that the mayor the way he's talked about the jewish people the way he's gotten rid of some of the executive actions he did on day one three against israel real on day one. Don't you think the way he acts, the way he talks, he's encouraging these people to do

what they do? I don't know about encouraging, but he certainly punches pilot. I mean, he's allowing this kind of carnage take place. There's no doubt about that. But the most disturbing thing to me, and I dealt with this with Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo, in that podcast, was the Democratic Party is accepting money, huge money from anti-Semites, enormous money. And it's tied in that progressive communist socialist movement with hating Israel and individual Jews. It's all tied in together. And where is Hakeem, Jeffrey? Please. Where's Schumer?

Schumer's Jewish. Where's he? Right. Where's Bernie Sanders? So if you're going to take their money and use it to try to gain power, which the progressive movement is doing, all right? And you're dealing with the devil. All right?

And that's okay? It would be like a Republican party saying, yeah, yeah. We're going to take the Klan's money. We're going to take it. Clan murder is a big check. I'm going to put it into the R&C treasury. Well, I will tell you, you're right, and they're not politicians, like the Democrats. They are politicians.

They are actually congresspeople, senators, that are out spewing hate every day. But the Tucker Carlson's and the Candace Owens, you know, the overwhelming majority of very smart people believe they're getting paid. Because why would they do something as stupid as what? they do every day. Why? Well, we speculate on that. I don't know anything about why they do what they do other than when we discuss this. They want attention. And any kind of anti-Semitic stuff they throw out there or anti-Israel stuff, imagine this story that's going around that the Israeli army was ordered to go in and do what the Russian army did after World War II in Berlin. That's the story that New York Times is peddling.

But the Israeli forces where, yeah, let's go and rape everybody. I mean, how insane is this? But it's allowed in the sense that there's no pushback on it. Who's pushing back on it? Nobody. That really is disturbing to me. So you have nobody sticking up. up for the Jews in the sense that this is absurd. This isn't a story about overreaction,

all right, to September 7th, right? Like that. It's not a story about, it's a story about calculation we're going to go in and abuse these Palestinian people. That's going to be the order of the armed forces. There's not one shred of evidence that points that. Not one. Other than pictures that keep getting recirculated over and over again, videos, you know, we know this already. It's it all, but, you know, Hamas, there's a reason why they set up their headquarters in nurseries and hospitals and mosques and all these places, because when Israel bombs them to kill them, they send out a picture of a little kid bleeding on a rock. And they go, oh, look at these Israelis, they're genocidal and murderers. In the meantime, Hamas does that. It's all very strategic. It's all very smart. See, they've won this piece. I can't believe that people in this country and around the world fell into this. But I knew it was going to be the case back on October 9th of 2003. I can play you the tapes. I knew it.

They've won the PR war because they do things that are so horrendous and the public can't wait to buy it, including setting up their headquarters in places like this, making it very easy to call Israelis and Jews, genocidal, baby killers. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are, not us. Yeah, and then you have to look at who's allowing this as far as the media is concerned. I mean, where's the pushback on the media on? And there's none.

And I'm going, I mean, the Wall Street Journal occasionally will debunk these myths. But television, they sit it out. They don't want to get involved with this. You know, you mentioned Jane Paul. Jay Paul, we want to go around and talk about anti-Semitism. I'm sorry. She does not, you know, and I'm sitting there going, this is, this is crazy. Our job is to try to get the truth out and to debunk falsehoods.

And then the media goes, we're not going to do that anymore. Nah. What's the juice are you doing? I don't know. I don't know what they're doing. I don't know. I can't even tell you, like, you know, like who are my favorite media people, who are the people that really respect? and love and network TV, forget about it.

But, Bitter, I want to kill myself. Cable TV, I had you. I like the guys on Fox News. You know, your friends are nice. Sean is great and Levin and those guys. But maybe you can fit them on one hand. One hand, it's just, it's become impossible. Thanks, Abby.
