She promised to do an interview with me years ago and then reneged and ripped up Trump's speech on Karen. camera, that was horrible. Speaker, now she threatened her own people. If you don't vote my way, I cut off all the money to use so you can't run for re-election easily. I mean, it's a gruesome resume. Grusome. San Francisco is a mess. She lives in a palatial mansion in Pacific Heights. About two miles away is some of the worst scenes you'll ever see. in the United States. They don't care. So I want to be up front. I don't want, don't like,

don't approve of the former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, who is out of there retiring in January so she can make even more money with her husband who's a traitor or something. Now, so Ms. Pelosi

is all over the place as far as giving a message to the American people. And now her message seems to be if you had elected a woman, that this country would be in a lot better shape. Okay, so then I hearken back to Hillary Clinton and to Kamala Harris, were the two that were obviously running for president. Now, Hillary Clinton is a smart woman. Whether you like her or not, she's smart.

The only reason she lost is because she's not likable. She's not. And I know her a little bit. In person, she's a lot better. But, man, she's strident. In America, like this. So she lost. Kamala Harris is just an empty vessel.

He's a cliche. She didn't know anything. And if she were in charge of this country, my God, I can't even imagine. It would be Biden redo, but worse, because Ms. Harris is so insecure and would take advice from the worst elements. So we, in my opinion, I can't prove it. Would be in a lot better shape, if worse shape, I should say, if she were president. But you can't tell Nancy Pelosi that.

So on CNN, which is Democratic headquarters, she appears a few days ago and says this, go. So if we had a woman president who came in and said, I don't know what I'm doing with tariffs, I don't know what I'm doing with national security, I don't know I'm doing with the cost of living, I don't think it's that big a deal. Instead, I'm going to build a new ballroom. or I'm going to cement over the Rose Garden. What do you think people would say? Why does this man get away?

Well, he's not going to get away with it because we're going to win the election. But why, I mean, we've got to stay focused on what matters at the kitchen table of the American people. We save our democracy, which is at risk with this person. What's a democracy? Freedom of the press. The unfair elections. independent judiciary, separation of power, the list goes on, rule of law, due process.

That's all at risk. No, it's not. That's a bunch of propaganda, okay? So separation of powers, Democratic Party doesn't want that. They want to stack the Supreme Court, taking nine and turning it into 19 or whatever number they come up with

so that you would have more people going in and out of there based upon politics because they're sitting president appoints them. So they don't want separation of powers. They don't want it. Independent judiciary means you vote my way. That's what it means. Okay. And freedom of the press, I'm yammering to you every day. Nobody bothering me. Okay. Free and fair elections. Okay. We need them. But in California, Nancy Pelosi's home state, anybody can vote. Even if you're born in Zambia.

There's no absolutely no control or oversight about who casts a ballot in California. But here's the kicker. Table issues? Table issues, madam. Your party's running on affordability, Democratic Party. How many times have you heard that? Affordability, affordability, affordability. Been in California?

It's run by Democrats top to bottom. Top to bottom. You see any affordability in California? Is anything affordable there? No. Nothing is affordable in California. So when the Democratic Party goes, oh, we're going to solve the affordability issue. I go, what about California?

What about the highest gas prices in the country by far? What about the highest real estate prices by far? And here it is. No answer. No affordability. Come on. How dumb to you? to be. Now the gender. I happen to think that a woman might, might be at this period in history,

better than a man as president. Because a woman would bring a bit more compassion, generally speaking, and perhaps would concentrate on issues that men, you know, I mean, this one of the things I write about in my brand new book, Confronting America, is that the government cannot assure your prosperity. And that's what the radical left is selling. Oh, no, no, let us, we'll do it. You don't have to do it. You don't have to do it.

You're a drug addict. Ah, it will give you everything. A house. We'll give you food. Yeah. That's what they call enabling. All right. And then I get into the solution to drug addiction,

drug trafficking and all that. Education, same thing. Kids come out of the eighth grade. They don't know anything. Test scores prove it. A woman might dial into some of those issues are very important in this country more than a man. Now, I'm just talking over the top of my head here.

The woman has to be qualified. It can't be Kamala Harris. It doesn't know anything. Hillary Clinton did, does. She knows, okay? Not Kamala. But Hillary Clinton did not come off as a compassionate person. And we need a little compassion now.

You know, that immigration thing, that whole thing, never had to happen if Congress had passed a fair immigration law, which it will not do because of political implications. Each party uses it. Maybe a woman cut through that, woman president. And the women that I know that hold higher office are generally good people. And I know almost all of them. And they're generally good people. The guys are you. I can't say that about the guys.

Maybe 50-50, but more like 60-40 against. But Ms. Pelosi doesn't care as long as her gender. is forefront. Here's my News Nation appearance with Leland Vitter. Bill, let's just assume, and I think fair people can disagree with the tone, but probably not with my conclusion, that a number of the things that Democrats are proposing and supporting are antithetical to what makes America America. Yet, as you pointed out this morning, Republicans are in dire straits. Is that the message or the messengers?

It's a little bit more complicated than either or. And I want to just thank you for doing that documentary, especially on confronting America last night on News Nation. I've gotten calls all day, people who didn't watch football and watched that. And it went up big on Amazon. The book comes out tomorrow, as you said. All right. So I've been saying that this time around in November, it's a different election because you're not voting a candidate, a single human being. You're voting a movement.

And that's true. And how far that takes either party is ill-defined. You can't define it. So if I had to go by my gut, I'm not a betting man, but if I were, I would bet that Paxton will win in Texas because Tala Rico is just too much. for that state. He's just too much. And Paxon is kind of smart just to hammer him and hammer him and hammer him because Paxson doesn't really have much of a resume. And the only reason he's there is because President Trump endorsed him over Senator Cornyn because Mr. Trump felt that Cornyn wasn't loyal enough on the Save America Act. So Paxson is a mager guy down the lane. And so he got to the endorsement. But Max, you know, as Lieutenant Governor, I don't know anything that Paxton's done to improve the lives of Texans, as you well put it, and he's done a lot of things that are dubious. So in a normal race, he'd lose by a lot. But it's not normal. It's Telarico,

and he's a nut. I'm sorry, but you can't take back every. word you've said since you're three years old. And that's what he's trying to do, Tala Rico. Yeah, we interviewed him. Al-Sai-A-A-Sai-A is a different story. He's brilliant. Oxford degree. Very smart man.

But he's thousand times more dangerous than Tala Rico because Al-Sayyed wants to bring down America. Oh, Riley, a mega guy. No. No. He doesn't like us, our traditions. He doesn't like it.

And that's part of the centrality of my book, Confronting America. You've got millions of Americans who don't like it here, who want a different country. So where are you? Are you going to vote for Paxon because you don't want Tela Rico? I would have to. I would have to. I'm not really endorsing Paxton. I don't want Tala Rico.

I'm not enjoying El-Sayed. Rogers, I put in a call to today, asking him and come on the program. If he doesn't come on, I'm going to scorch him. But I'd still vote for him because I know who Syed is. I know who Piker is, the guy in California is his best pal. I know what they want. And believe me, if they get it, you're not going to recognize the United States of America. Okay.

If we think about this in a broader sense, El-Sahed has captured something in Michigan. And it's easy to dismiss him as just appealing to the kids and the malcontent, downwardly mobile, over-edged. educated baristas, right? And Pod Save America, progressive media network, went to one of his rallies. We'll see if they let News Nation into his rallies or give us an interview with him. But this is who Pod Save America spoke to. Take a listen. Here we are, the United States of America. And here we are in this filth, this stench that is over the whole country. I mean, I mean, I mean. I'm 82. I want to see something refreshing before my last days. I want to see us evolve,

become enlightened, politically enlightened. It is so easy, Bill, and I think to dismiss this movement on the left towards socialism and Islamism as young kids who just don't get it and don't get what it means to be American. And then you look at Al-Sayed's rallies and it's a bunch of old white people. Or black people, as you just saw. Mostly white, but yes.

Yesterday, Al-Said said he wants reparations for every black American. I mean, Syed plays the same game they all play. I'll give you. The I give you game. So everybody gets reps. Everybody gets free health care. Everybody gets a house.

Everybody gets a job. Everybody gets a guaranteed income. And of course, this is just ridiculous. It's absurd. We can't do it. We can't afford it. No matter what we do, it's impossible to do. But people are not sophisticated enough to understand that.

And the Republican side, for whatever reason, has not been able to articulate its, vision. Let me give you the most vivid example I can give you. So there's Trump in Ireland, right? And he's a dunebag, his golf course there. And the press has following him around.

And Trump is the most transparent president in history. Gives more access to Trump to the president. Anybody else has ever done, okay? And somebody says, comes up to him and says, what are you going to do? And he goes, I'm going to give everybody $5,000.

except Leland Vittert. He's the only way that's not going to get it. Okay? And so, press goes wild. Presco is completely wild. Oh, you can't do it. It's a bribe. It's this.

It's that. It's this. So I'm saying to myself, if what the president is saying is true, that the tariffs have brought in so much money to the Treasury, the $1.2 trillion

that would go out in the $5,000 dollar check, okay, can easily be covered. But you don't hear the numbers from the Republican Party or the White House. You don't hear the numbers. So how much money, how much has the tariffs benefited the national treasury? Give me a number. Now, I'm going to interview Navarro coming up shortly. I'll get a number, okay?

We were at about $300 billion at one point. It's a lot less than $1.3 trillion, having come close to that number. But we don't even know. We don't even know what the number is. It's just bantered around. So Besson would have to go out there with a little chart and say, here are the numbers. Here's what's come in.

Here's what we expect to come in. Here's how we're going to get there. And this is an easy play to cover this $5,000 check. If the Republicans do that, then they'll rise in credibility. But just to say, as you pointed out, that this guy is a communist, a socialist, it's not enough in a lot of different cases. It will be enough in Texas, and I don't think El-Said's going to make it because of Piker. Piker's bringing him down. Al-Sahed, as I said, he's a brilliant man, but he's not smart enough to understand

that you cannot say 9-11 was the fault of your country. You cannot say that and hope to get elected to higher office. I would say the reason Al-Sahed won't distance himself from Pikers is because he's a true believer, which maybe makes it even... But he hasn't. Scary. Right. That's why he hasn't.

because Al-Sahire is a true believer. I want to play those... In one interview. He's had a lot more interviews than that. You're talking about the CBS interview. This is you and I talking about where your worldview comes from growing up in Levittown. The theme I picked up on in the whole book

was America should go back to the 1950s. It's Levittown and Leave It to Beaver. There's a picture of Leave It to Beaver in the book. Right. Because that society coming off World War II, was totally devoted to their country. My father worked his butt off, okay, for every year. He didn't take an evening brand money.

And then you had the culture where lying was a pretty big deal. Garden community and lived in town. A community designed for modern living. That one didn't go down well, okay? Stealing, unheard of. Okay, if you got caught stealing, your parents would be humiliated, there was a culture and a line of behavior. Yeah, and the culture in Levitown was we don't sell houses to black people. And that's the Leavitt brothers who did that. But that was also, that's also

the 1950s. That's also this time we want to go back to. I don't want to go back to anything. I'm just telling you what the strength was back then. And redlining the diminishment of freedoms for African Americans was a huge, colossal mistake. on the part of the United States. Everybody knows that. But you don't damn a whole country by mistakes the country makes. So let's just say that there's a lot of people

who don't want to go back to the past, but want to go back to the past way of dealing with the future. Fine. That past way of dealing with the future has left so many Americans feeling so left behind right now, and the only people talking to them is Democrats. How are Republicans so blind to them? that? Well, you're generalizing here. Listen, the title of the book is confronting America

what has to change. And what has to change is you have to control your own behavior. You, the individual American. So if you're going to be a drug addict and you're going to hurt your children and your family, and you're going to have to steal and do everything else to support your stupid habit, okay, that's you doing it. Nobody else is doing it, but you're going to And it used to be condemned. It isn't any longer excuse making after excuse making. We have got to get back to individuals making good decisions for themselves, their families, and their country. The government isn't going to do it.

It'll tell you it'll do it. Look at this affordability. Okay? How many times have you heard the Democrats go, affordability? How many times? A thousand? A million? I've heard Democrats talk about it. I've heard most Americans that I talk to, not in Washington, D.C., regardless of a party, talk to me about it too, Bill. Okay, so why don't they go to California? Run by Democrats, top to bottom, okay? You see any affordability in California?

Anything? No. All right? It's a bunch of BS. The government is not going to give you. the resources to live a positive life. Accept it. You have to do it. That is the book. And then I go down the list of social problems. I go down the whole list. And if we reverted back to,

if we reverted back to the after World War II mentality, we wouldn't have these social problems. social problems or most of them. Because it was a different mindset. That's what the Republicans should be selling instead of this crazy nonsense that, you know, they're almost as bad

as the Democrats. Hard times make hard men. And good men, which is, I think, what you point out. Here's my weekly appearance with W-O-R's, Mark Simone. So the book comes out today. And tell us about the book. again. I found it riveting. It's not just America's story. Well, as I witness history,

it's what I've seen in my more than 50 years of journalism and with an emphasis on problem solving. So I'm sure you feel the same way I do. I'm so tired of these politicians coming out and going to do, we're going to do, we're going to do, and then they do absolutely nothing. and the truth is that many of these problems cannot be solved by the government. So let's take affordability, which is the big headline for the Democratic Party this year, affordability. So what are you going to do? How are you going to make things more affordable for the working American?

Silence. You've been in California lately? That's Democratic run top to bottom. Any affordability out there at all? Have you seen any affordability? No. No. Okay. So I'm tired of that, and it's getting me even angry. So in confronting America, I say, here is the problem, okay, drug addiction.

Here's how to solve the problem. Now, most of these politicians don't run the other way. They'll scream in on the guts to do it. But we back it up all of my problem-solving stuff with facts. people who have done certain things to make life better in America. And so that's what it's about. It's not ideological, although I did send a book to three liberal friends and three conservative friends.

And the conservatives would not really write wingers. They're more moderates, traditionals. And same thing with the liberals. They weren't socialist. And the left guys hated the book. They hated it. And the right guys read it in the game. And I said, well, what do you mean?

It's not boring. I'm telling his stories forever. Telling his stories about everybody from Barack Obama and Donald Trump. You know, I'm there in the room. I'm there. Okay. They didn't like it because the book is heavy on individual behavior. That is what we have to get back to.

So when you and I were raised, I'm a little older than you, but in our homes and our neighborhoods, we were held accountable for what we did, especially if it was bad. That's gone. Now it's an excuse after excuse after excuse, if they're excused, if they're excuse, if they're excuse, and you can do the most haze things to other people, and you're not punished. Look at this nut who ran on the field, Yankee Stadium. Yeah. with the Palestinian flag.

You know what happened to him? No. He got a ticket. He could have been driving 35 and a 25 in front of a school in Mandanami would have given him the same ticket.

He got a ticket and nothing's going to happen. They'll drop it. They're not going to go through with it. And he's not going to pay it. And once you have, that kind of a thing going on where there's no accountability

at all on the personal level. I'm tired of it. And that's why I wrote the book. It's a great book. I've read it. It's confronting America. It's out. You order it today. You can go to a bookstore and buy it today. It's available wherever you get your books.

Bill O'Reilly's new book, Confronting America. And you mentioned Obama. I remember that interview you did with him. But before and after the interview, what was your impression to him? What What kind of guy was he? Was he just a... You know, I admired that he came from nothing.

He had a hippie mother who was running around Indonesia. No father. Father split. I think the day he was born. I think the father split Hawaii. I admired that. And he worked this way up to the presidency. But I remember my defining conversation with President Obama,

and I had a few on and off the air. And he goes, you know, Bill, you're not really responsible for your success. for your success. Huh? I swear to God. And he goes, the government, we, we helped you do that

a lot. I looked at Mr. President. I said, no government person has ever helped me, ever, except taking my money, right, away from me. I said, I get your drift

that I have the right pursue happiness and there are pathways to success in America that don't exist in many other countries. All right. But I had to do it. I had to come out of Levitown and make a success or a failure on my own. And everybody cutting my front lawn and saying, hey, Bill, why don't you do this today? And that is the mindset that, oh, no, no, no, if you're successful or affluent, You owe us. You owe us in Washington. No, I don't.

I owe you the law. You're taxing me up to my eyebrows now. If Hoka wins, you're going to tax even more. And that's obviously driving people out of the state. I mean, come on. There's only enough. You can't pay any more. Yet they want more and more and more and more,

and they waste, waste, waste. So anyway, that was my conversation with, and he just sees it. Like the government did all of this for you, and now you've got to give back. Wow. You know what I said? The government is not my mom. The government didn't drive me to hockey practice. Okay?

Jeez. But that was an interesting conversation. Yeah. Well, that's the kind of stuff you'll read in the book. It's a fascinating book. Confronting America. It just came out today. You can get it today.

You can walk into a bookstore and walk out with it, or you can order it on Amazon. on and it'll come right away. Bill O'Reilly's new book, Confronting America. You know, these studies that look at the affordability problem, a lot of them show the big expense that most people have is taxes. That's a big, enormous percentage of their

expense. So wouldn't that be the first thing you do is cut taxes if there's affordability problems? Well, I just don't get it. So the Democrats are on an affordability, affordability, affordability, and they're going to raise a tax. You know, there'll be a cap.

So if you earn less than $40,000, you'll get away. You won't be able to pay. But everybody else, you know, in $100,000 to $200,000 range, which is where most Americans are or heading anyway, they're going to get it. So that's affordability. That's going to help you pay the utility bill, the government taking more of you. You're already getting taxed on your utility bill. you're getting tax on everything

everything and then they run around on oh affordability no we're the party of affordability and you raise taxes again on everything and you just sit there and you go oh my God

and one of the things I want to mention to the WOR audience is one of the things I have in the book is I had a really good solution to poverty and particularly children in poverty and young boys who are out of control who commit most of the crimes not only in New York but all over the country and I couldn't get it done and I had it and

and Paul McCartney was involved Bono was involved Obama was involved I had it and that would have raised so much money to help these poor kids without any tax on anybody. And it didn't happen. And where do you see why? It was an amazing experience. So that's, you know, it's personal history. Nothing in there that I wasn't present for.

No theory, no ideology. This is what I saw. This is what I did. And a lot of people aren't going to like it. I thought it was a great book. interesting reading. It's Confronting America, Bill O'Reilly's new book. It's out today. You can actually walk into the store and walk out with it, or you can go to Amazon. You can download it right into your Kindle, Confronting America, Bill O'Reilly's new book, it's out today. Hey, we only

got like a minute left yet. The President Trump with that $5,000 checked every American, apparently that wasn't in the teleprompter. It wasn't in the script. He just blurted that out. I know. What a shock, right? What is he thinking? What is he doing when he does Well, look, it's not as absurd as people say it is, but he's got to put out the numbers. So if the government has raised all of this money through the tariffs and all that money's flown into the Treasury, let's see it. How much money? How better off are we in your second term than we were under Biden as far as trade is concerned?

How much money are we making? That's the flaw of the Trump administration. They don't get specific. You have a big chart out there. Okay, this is how much money the terrorists are bringing in. This is why it's beneficial to you. It is creating more jobs. There's no question about that.

But is it driving prices down? Not yet because of Iran. But he just says stuff, and he doesn't back it up, which lets his enemies run wild. and you know that he ought to have just some guy following him around with a big card that has all here and facts so we don't have to go through this every three days but he's got 10 guys to do that and follow him around but he still does it anyway so what are you going to he can't do it no matter what but if the republicans want to prosper and i'm not a party

Apparechnick, they've got to rush in after he says stuff like that and explain it down to the micro level. It's $1.2 trillion that he's committed for the $5,000 checks. Well, if the tariffs have brought in $12 trillion, okay? If they've brought in 12, then that's not a burden. But we don't know how much the tariffs have brought in. Yeah. And that's the flaw.

Listen to me as I join News Nation. All right, so we're seeing this AI panic. We on the show have covered the concerns, whether it's private property rights or the big tech guys, you know, wanting monopolies over the space, concerns about data centers. But now we're seeing Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon joining forces to say they're fighting the advancement of AI. And it just seems like the timing is quite suspicious just to have an election to capitalize on people's fears this way. What say you? Well, I don't know enough about it to make a determination. I had a guest on the No Spin News yesterday who says,

listen, if we don't regulate this industry, it's going to get out of control and hurt people. And he backed it up okay. I didn't think he was making stuff up. For example, he believes at AI. And I thought it was a steak sauce when I've heard. I'm a Luddite. I don't know anything about this stuff. But he said that it will have the capacity fairly soon to hack into any computer in the world. That seems like a problem. Yeah, with the Pentagon and all that. And privacy, forget it. People will hire these outfits to do nefarious

things if that is true. Now on the other side, President Trump and others, don't want to want any government intrusion because the government screws everything up, which is kind of true. Mm-hmm. All right? So I'm sitting there. I'm still trying to compile information about, you know, the danger or the myth to American people.

So what about this argument from the anthropic, for example, that they need regulation to make sure this doesn't get out of control, but then you have David's... Sachs, who's a surrogate of the White House, who's been working on AI on behalf of the White House saying, there's nothing stopping you guys from not inventing Frankenstein. You could stop the problem right now. Why are you asking for the government to regulate it? Well, they're not going to stop the problem because of money. I mean, it's not going to happen.

So you can say whatever you want, but you're talking trillions of dollars in a industry that's going to be available all over the world. And then you've got the geopolitical problem with China. So China is going to go full bore on this, try to control every aspect of it. Yes, the potential for China to use it in harmful ways is huge. And so nobody's stopping anything, Katie. They're going to go, and they're going to do what they benefits them. Now, for the United States, you know, we're a country that doesn't want mass destruction,

obviously of our own people or anybody else. So we have to look at this in a very dispassionate way. And if it does require legislation, Congress has got to get on it. Because this is big. Okay, this isn't... Well, maybe we need better cybersecurity rather than limits on AI to prevent this from happening. Or both. Maybe.

But the experts say that... AI can outrun any cybersecurity. Unless we use AI for cybersecurity. Yeah, I mean, look, if this thing is hyped to what it may turn out to be, this is going to be the most powerful agent in the world. Well, I will admit I'm afraid of the robots, and I hope that when they eventually do come, that they are nice to us. But let's move to things happening on Capitol Hill.

Congressman Thomas Massey, who lost his race in conditions. Kentucky, he will not be in the next Congress in January, introduced articles of impeachment for Pete Heggseth over what he says is the Iran War and the kidnapping of Nicholas Maduro. I don't know how that works when Nicholas Maduro had an indictment from DOJ under both the Biden and Trump administration. What do you make of his work here trying to impeach the Secretary of War? He's a poltroon, this guy. He just wants to disrupt anything that Trump does.

I don't take them seriously. You got out maneuvered by the Speaker Johnson, who sent everybody home. It's not going to amount to anything. All right. Well, another topic on Capitol Hill always is the relationship we'd have with Israel. The president has approved $2.8 billion in sales of heavy bombs to Israel. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal says that it's unacceptable for the U.S. to perpetrate a genocide. Of course, this claim that there's a genocide in Gaza is totally bogus.

What do you think about the sale? And given that we're still kind of in this war with Iran, I'm not surprised about this transfer that's been approved. Well, I'd like to see a deal, and you don't have to make it public, but a deal between Trump and Netanyahu that Israel does certain things militarily for the United States in return for the armaments. So it's not all about money. For example, they got to take care of these hoodies.

I mean, it is after. We can't do it at this point with our problems with Iran. But Israel can certainly lay a hurt on them on these hoary people. Wouldn't that require the Saudis to also act as well? I mean, the Houthis are attacking Saudi Arabia as well, trying to attack their airports, their pipelines. They're on their front door. Don't you think Saudi should help a little bit? I do.

They are not capable? But they haven't done it in history. I don't know when the last time that Saudi's helped anybody. It's a money operation there. They have armaments. They bought them from us. Why aren't they sending their troops in to get these guys? I can't answer the question.

They should be. I think the president's trying to put pressure on them to do exactly that. But speaking of Israel, some pop culture news back at home, senior Ed Sheeran is getting destroyed on social media for not supporting another artist named Macklemore and other acts that dropped out of his tour. Take a listen to this. I just feel like Ed Sheeran could have been less of a B. Ed Sharon, if you ever booked a Pilates class with me,

I would charge you the highest fee that I have ever charged anyone in my seven-year career. If you stay silent in times of injustice, you are standing with the oppressor. And Ed Sheeran just told the entire world where he stands. Shame on you, Ed Sheeran. I'm ashamed of you and your dearly dead grandmother and mother, ashamed of you too. They're rolling over in their graves right now. The internet people are very upset, as usual, trying to get their attention and clicks. But Ed Shearin says people don't come to his concerts for politics. And I think certainly they don't go to concerts to hear about, you know,

pro-terrorism causes. So what do you think about all this? Well, Sharon's going to get hurt. They're going to try to hurt him. What I can't really fathom here, because none of these pinheads will talk to me is a guy like, what is it, McElmore? Is that his name? That's his name. Maclemore. Okay. So he's out there screaming at Giant Stadium in New York about genocide

and free the Palestinian people. That's what he's screaming about. And I'm going, who controls the Palestinian people? It is in Israel. It's Hamas. Hello. Hello.

that society doesn't have a chance at freedom, at prosperity, because the terrorists run the show. Does McLemore not know that? Is he that stupid? Apparently he is. Now, I thank God, literally, Katie, that I don't go on social media to listen to the people that you just put on television. apologies for attacking your senses with that. I would, if I were president, form a different homeland security operation just to deport them. I just send them over. Hey, free the Palestinian people?

Why don't you go over for maybe two months and take a look at what's going on over there? All right? I've been there. I know what's going on. They don't. But Sheeran, he's going to get hurt. And he, you know, it's a shame, but he will.

Yeah, well, he's going to get hurt for doing the right thing. And it'll be hurt as a reaction to McLemore doing what he did. And now he's the one crying victim and acting like there are no consequences. But Bill, you have a brand new book out. It's called Confronting America. It's out now. Tell us about it. Well, I need three hours to tell you about it, Katie.

But you have to read it because. Pithy, Bill. Come on. I'm sending you a quiz. Okay. So here is a book about eyewitness history. Who's the eyewitness? Hello.

That would be me. 90 countries. I know what's happening. Interviewed five presidents. I know. So we go down a list of problems that we have in America, some very vexing problems here. Problems that affect every single one of us.

And there in the body of that chapter is the, solution to the problem. And that's what the book is. And I write it backing up every word I say with facts or I was there. No anonymous sources. Sorry, New York Times. No, everybody's mentioned. And there's lots of big names.

Lots of them. All right. So anyway, I think you'd enjoy it. You work very hard and you'll believe your time. I would enjoy it. And I look forward to the copy. I've got about 60 countries and former presidents to get through before I catch up with you. So it's a good goal to have to take after Bill O'Reilly.

Bill, always great to have you. Thank you very much. Please join me and Sid Rosenberg on WabC Radio. Confronting America when asked to change up for sale. Now, you could have bought an Amazon for about a month already, but now it is officially on sale. Bill O'Reilly's Confronting America What Has to Change

Went on sale Tuesday So once again, Bill, congratulations Thank you, Sid. I want you to bring the book down to D.C. You're going down there today, right? I am today, yes. So I want you to bring two things, the book, because that'll make the train ride go very fast.

I love that, love it. Yeah, and a tent, so you don't have to get accommodations, you can just have a tent. on the white house of grounds. Sid's tent. I like that. Right? Yeah.

I like it. Now, should I put that... A little barbecue down there. Should I put that right outside of Bant's office or right outside the Oval Office? You tell me. Well, I'd always go for the Oval Office. I don't know. You may get hammered by the construction people there, but...

Sid's tent. And it'll become a cause-celebrab. All the politicians will stop by for a burger or whatever you're serving that day. It's a great idea. I love it. Yeah. You know what's funny about that? As you're telling me that, I swear to God, you've got great timing.

I'm watching from the right corner of my eye, Fox News, feds charge three with stealing 12 million in homeless aid, and they're showing sky views of all the tents. Talking about tents, all the tents. Yeah, the homeless thing. Yes. My prediction is this will be the biggest scandal. I mean, this is like Minnesota shoplifting,

Tutsi rolls. Remember Tutsi rolls? Yeah. The amount of money that was stolen in California, and it's our money because the states contribute to the federal government. That's the IRS, and then the federal

government gives it to Congress, and then Congress allocates money to all 51 states. It's 50 states, of course, but I'm counting Canada as a state now. So they got to surrender up there. Even the moose are looking at Carney going, hey, come on.

All right? Let's go. Let's just make a deal, all right? You got a nice life up here, just running around the pine forest, and you're just screwing everything up. So anyway, the book that just came out, what I think the beauty of this book is, This is eyewitness history. It's me. I've seen all this.

And there's no anonymous sources. I just name everybody. They did this. They did that. I was there. And it all has to do with solving our problems. And we have a lot of problems in this country, a lot. And they need to be addressed.

And they're not being addressed. And so I got fed up. This is a fed up book. I said, okay, here's your problem. Here's a solution. If you do this, the problem will dissipate. And, you know, that's what the whole thing is about. And I think it's going to be a big book by word of mouth because people like you and me,

we want things to get better. Now, there is an element that doesn't want to get, they want things to get worse. the communist, socialist, whatever they're calling themselves today. Okay? They don't want to solve any problems. And unfortunately, Congress is kind of in that soup. And then they all run around going, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this, and they don't do anything.

All right, this, a Save America bill should have been passed a long time ago. Agreed. Agreed. 100%. I mean, come on. Stupid. Stop with the, well, old lady, old granny, Sue can't vote. because she lives in the forest and there's no mailbox.

So we've got to send some guy named Zeke in to get a vote. Stop. Stop. Well, they're cheating. I mean, we know that they're cheating. That's why they don't want it. But when you say, this actually fascinated me moments ago, we have big problems and you have solutions.

Some of these problems, the president is not trying to fix or he can't fix. What about the president's role? Well, it's an interesting question. And I hope you ask Vice President Vance that question, too. Number one, the executive branch, and for you people educated in New York City public schools, that's the president and vice president.

Hello. Go out and say, what's the executive branch? It's Mom Donnie. Right, right. I have no idea. Right. So the tenant is, and this goes way back to Thomas Jefferson, all right, to just tell the people what they want

to hear. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. And then, because it's hard, a lot of stuff doesn't get done. But I give President Trump credit for trying, trying. Did Biden try? Never. all Biden did was screw things up so badly. It's taken Trump more than a year to even straighten it out.

And that's what ICE is all about. That's what Homeland Security is all about. Imagine how much time and money have been spent trying to straighten this open border, everybody in here, all the criminals, problem out? my God. And Trump's got to deal with that. Sometimes he's successful, and sometimes he isn't, because sometimes he gets diverted. And, you know, look, does it really matter that the Kennedy Center is the Trump-Kennedy Center? No.

No one cares. True. All right? No. What matters is that we whip the mullahs. That matter. and that President Trump tried to do an enormous thing would change the U.S. economy from a service-generated economy, which means that you work for somebody that provides something for other people, that's how they make money, to a manufacturing economy. And it's worked. The latest labor data says that American homes are more prosperous.

now than they've been in decades because there are more high-paying manufacturing jobs in the private sector. And there's a lot of reasons. This is the tariff reason, but then the tariff ignited inflation is very, you need a PhD in economics. Oh, God. I mean, really, you know, you're watching, I mean, the big story today is Kevin Warsh and for people that, you know, aren't you or Charlie Gasparino or Monica Crowley, you know, and they go, wait a second.

President Trump handpicked this guy. And the reason why President Trump handpicked this guy for the layman is because this guy was going to lower interest rates, which is what Trump wants. And what does this guy do? Right off the bat, he raises him. He says, look, inflation's too high. I'm trying to help Trump. But Trump is furious. You know that.

Trump came out last night and said, I support it. It's a quarter point rise. That's not going to be a catastrophe for anybody. I don't know whether that's going to hold a line on higher prices, which if the Republicans lose in November a good chance, all right, they'll lose because of higher prices. They're not going to lose because of AI. They're not going to lose because President Trump, you know,

wanted to change the name of a lake, confusing the Indians going, What are we on now? What lake is this? Right. There are seven great lakes. The Native Americans up there, they don't even know what lake they're on. Why? Why am I on? Where are we going?

But that doesn't hurt or help Trump, you're right. It all comes down to prices. But you said earlier, he's got to wipe out the mullers. Where are we in that process? I don't know. I don't get to daily briefings. He is confident. or at least presents himself that way,

that whole country is going to collapse because they don't have anything to eat. And that might be true. Yeah. I mean, you know, people are glooming and dooming it. All right. I got it. I said the very beginning, as you know, on this program,

biggest gamble of Donald Trump's life was taking these people on because they don't care about life or death. They don't care. All right? It's a suicide pact. with them. If they have to kill their own people, they're going to

kill their own people. Hard to beat that kind of an enemy. All right? So, but the strategy is that coming out of the Pentagon, they don't have any, they don't have any economy. There's no country anymore.

They don't have any gasoline. They can't get food in because of the blockade. And they're hoping. And it is a hope that the people over there gone enough. But nobody knows. No. I mean, but that's what they're banking on. I know, but we've had this conversation, too. And if they say enough, they don't have the

power, they don't have the weapons, they do much about it. So I don't know. If they say enough, what is that mean? Harder. And that's one of the themes of confronting America or what needs to change. The United States could have gone in harder and just wiped out their infrastructure in two days. That's what I wanted. With Israel.

That's what I wanted. Yeah. And me too. And I'm not a hawk. I mean, I'm not a guy that, you know, is banging a drum like John Bolton. Let's wipe out everybody. I don't like that. Right.

Okay? But I'm looking at the canvas over there. And the only solution to this problem, and that, of course, is what the book's all about, is to kill these people. because the only solution to ending World War II was to absolutely destroy Germany and Japan. That's it.

We did. That's right. And the ball was over. And look at us years later. We're still buying TV from Japan. He wanted a partial peace treaty. Japanese were, you know, worshipping the emperor.

They were otherwise occupied until, you know, the bomb fell on the regime. And that got their attention. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so the solution, it seems, on paper, to the Mullah Iran problem is just to obliterate that country's ability to function. And I talked to President Trump about this. He didn't want to kill civilians, and that's a noble gesture. 100%.

He thinks he can do without that. Hope so. And I hope he can. Me too. You know, on the final couple of minutes, I'd be remiss. I didn't ask you because you're the smartest person I know you're right up there. and I respect you more than anybody. So I have this meeting with J.D. Vance coming up today.

And J.D. is not my guy. He hasn't been. Okay. I'm friendly with Marco Rubio. I've been for 16 years, and I love him. And if you said to me today, I can pick, I can pick the next president. Once Trump leaves, I pick Marco. But, but I also admitted today that I didn't vote for Trump in 2016.

I voted for Hillary. And now I've grown to love President Trump. So I'm not narrow-minded. I don't shut the door. I'm looking forward to speaking with JD today, meeting with JD today. How does Bill O'Reilly feel about J.D. Vance? You know, I only interviewed him once. His operation stays away from my operation.

And that's never a good thing. Why is that? Why is that? What do you think that is? I don't know. Okay. I, you know, and we've had discussions with them, but he doesn't want any part of me. And that's not unusual, uh, sit.

I mean, I go out my front door here on Long Island. I mean, parents snatch up their children when I'm in public, right? So I don't blame the vice president for now. Do I have to, O'Reilly? Come on. Um, no. Um, but if it's me, I'm down there. if he ever comes on the no-spin news, what separates you from your competition?

That's my first question. So the thing I respect about Vance is that he is a dissenter. He didn't want to do the Iran thing, but he didn't hotshot it. Okay? So once President Trump decided to do it, he got in line. That for Vice President, is very important.

You can't have a divided government. And Vance seems to be smart enough to understand, even though I wouldn't have done this policy, I'm going to support the president because that's my job. All right, so that's in his corner. But if you're going to compare Vance to Rubio, all right, it's pros and cons on both sides. And you want to get Vance's vision, his vision.

So take the book because you'll, be able to pull out of confronting America, 10 problems that the United States simply hasn't been able to solve. And then you don't have to tell them you're reading the book, but it wouldn't hurt. Have them want to grab it to me, Bill, my dear friend, because you always use my dear friend. Yes. It has more dear friends than Bishop Sheen has. That's true.

But what's great about me is, my dear friends hate me. Well, just that. Yeah, well, I'm glad I don't have to see the subcategory to dear friends then. That's the gunfighted OK corral. So, but that's where I'd like to know, and he will have to do that if he's going to run for president. 100%. 100%. Yeah, he's going to have to say, look, President Trump did this.

I respect President Trump. You know, I thought he was a great president, but I would have done it this way. That's tough. But he's got to do it. But he's got to do it. You're right. You have to if he wants to get the nomination. Because Rubio is much more, let me say.

Rubio, the way he goes about it is much more low-key. So when Van says this week, hey, give us another chance. I don't like that slogan. Right. Right. I mean, that's like the Mets give us another chance. Oh, you're terrible. Right.

Wait till next year. What? What do you mean? Wait for five years. Yeah, right, exactly. Okay, so, yeah. I don't like politicians going, oh, I need another chance. No, no, no, no good.

No good. I agree. But I don't even know if Van Sett. That's how untrustworthy the media is. All right. So they, he could have said something totally different or in context. But that's the kind of thing. You got to do it gently, though.

you want to have access to them. Of course. Because I don't. And it teased me off. Really? Well, guess what? I'm holding in my hand right now. Justin just brought it into the studio.

I'm not even kidding. Author of 20 number one bestsellers, Bill O'Reilly and Josh Hammer, confronting America what has to change. And this is coming with me. I'm going to hand it as a gift to J.D. Vance. And it will be the beginning of a beautiful marriage between Vance and O'Reilly. Well, I don't want to marry the guy because that would confuse Tala Rico.

I don't want to, you know, get involved with any kind of nuptials. Yeah. But I would like, you know, with every politician. Access. Including Tala Rico and El Cayed and all of these people, access to that. 100%. Yeah, of course. The problem with me, and there are many, okay, is that when I sit next to you,

you know there's no cupcakes in the room. There's no cupcakes. Wow. That could be the next. And that's what made my career. That could be the name of your next book. There's no cupcakes. No cupcakes in the room.

Yeah, I like that. I think I love that. I really do. I love that. I want you to open the book when you get on Amtrak, which is much better, by the way, now that I have the new three-hour one, and go to the chapter of the,

Me, President Obama, and Paul McCartney. Oh, yes. Yes. Okay? I want you to open the book and go to that chapter. And that tells you everything you need to know about how dysfunctional our government, both parties, is. And people are like, they're reading this just can't possibly happen. I was there, okay?

I negotiated that myself. And it's just an amazing occurrence. And then the second chapter you go to is Dan Rather. Oh, my God. Because I work for CBS News. And I had an interaction, you know, more than one with Mr. Rather. People have no idea why problems don't get solved and why things happen. And this is why I wrote the book.

It's eyewitness history. I was at the game, and I had good seats at the game. Love it. Okay? And I saw the game. Yep. And I'm reporting back to you. And that's the worthiness of the whole exercise.

But you tell the vice president from me, the first time we interviewed him, it was a good interview. I'll give him an hour. I'll give them a blank an hour. It'll go all over the world. And, you know, while you're setting up your tent on the White House grounds, I can do it then. Okay. Well, I promise you, I'll deliver that message today, I promise you. And my guess is that he will do it.

That's, he will comply. That's my guess. Well, he doesn't do it, then you're going to have to yell at him. Yeah, no, then I'll, what do you mean? I'll rough him up physically. I'm not in the world. I'm worried about Secret Service. Oh, are you kidding me?

I'll fly across the desk. I don't care. Bill, you're amazing as always. The book is great. Everybody go buy it. I mean, you already do. Your books, every one of them is a New York Times bestseller because they're all great. It is confronting America what has to change.
