Bill O'Reilly, the country is at a crossroads here. I don't know if you've had a chance to read the bill, but Congress certainly didn't have a chance to read it before they signed it and passed it. But it is, dare I use the word today, abortion, and the Congress is shouting their abortion. Meanwhile, the president's about to speak to declare a national emergency. Make sense of this. Well, I'm curious. As far as the spending bill is concerned, what troubles you about just the actual spending from the federal government until September? Well, it adds a whole bunch of spending.

I have focused very little on the actual spending in the bill. They don't like it because it's permissive and no discipline. No, no, no, no. It adds a lot of new spending. But in this bill, let me see if I can find it real quick. It has things in it. For instance, we can hire new border agents, but they have to help people find a place to live. You are not allowed to use any of these funds.

You can now, let's see, none of the funds by this act or any other act or provided from any account in the Treasury United States, derived from the collection of fees, blah, blah, blah, can be used to place any. In detention, remove, refer for decision whether to initiate removal proceedings or initiate removal proceedings against a sponsor, potential sponsor, or a member of a household of a sponsor, or a potential sponsor of an unaccompanied alien child. So you can no longer use tax dollars to arrest or deport anyone who lives in the same home as an unaccompanied child that's an alien or could be a potential to potentially live in that. I mean, that is a any, any, you know, MS-13, they say 30 to 40. percent of arrests of MS-13 members are, quote-unquote, unaccompanied alien children. So, I mean, this is... Well, look, I'm not to worry about this minutia because what I see is the long game.

And that's what President Trump is doing today. What is the long game? Please tell me the long game. Make me feel better. Re-election of Trump. That's a long game. So Trump says, look, they got me in a corner. They kind of outsmarted me in the sense that they shut the government down.

Americans overwhelm. They don't want that. They don't want that as a solution. So I've got to get out of this. And I'll get out of it by signing the stupid bill and then finding money elsewhere, which he has. Well, in the bill, it also says he can only build in the Rio Grande Valley. And it is intentionally... Yeah, but only under the bill it can't.

He's going to declare a state of emergency, which is going to override the bill, and basically I have a bill where I want, and I got 9 billion more to do it, and here's where it comes from. He's already got it. He's already got the 9 billion. So the state of emergency that overrides the dopy bill. Everybody has to understand it. But the overrides, or he's adding on top of it?

No, it overrides it. because an executive action by the president of the United States declaring a state of emergency where the bills in place can be superseded to deal with that emergency. That's what a state of emergency is. That's why everybody hates it. So they don't want to give the power that the president that much power to override the legislature.

But the long game is that he knows that if he just wimped away and didn't do anything, he'd lose. Because that 15% of the Ann Coulter right would turn on him. No, you know, I disagree with you here, Bill. I'm watching Twitter, and this may change, but I'm watching Twitter, and I'm watching the usual, you know, border Trump, you know, suspects that are, you know, mad at him if he does anything like that, and they're not for this bill either. He does have another out, and that's pass a continuing resolution. Veto this and pass a continuing resolution. I think that, again, we'll go out of the long game.

Number one, the Twitter mob are activists, so they don't reflect his support crew. What the Trump administration and the Obama administration, everybody does, is internal polling, okay, that we don't see. And the internal polling, I can tell you, for a fact, showed that, number one, America has not won another government shutdown. And number two, as long as the president starts to build some of the wall, that they're likely to vote for him for re-election. so that's what the internal polling showed so that the decision was made by the Trump administration to go this way to try to get as many people in his base to basically they don't like it but they're not going to turn on him so that is the long game I want Stu to ask you a question that he asked me and I want to hear your reaction it looks like you know the the national emergency would get potentially about 8% more of the wall bill, which is a significant amount on a 2,000-mile border,

plus the 2% that's in the bill. So it's not insignificant. And I think the border wall is a good idea. Taking out the whole thing about the precedent that the national emergency sets and everything else, this thing that we talked about briefly a minute ago, which basically says you no longer can use tax funds to arrest illegal immigrants in almost every situation.

I think it encourages. No, no, not. Not almost every situation. Only when minors are involved. This is a minor-driven thing. Right. That's true. I will tell you that it's going to be used.

Oh, it'll increase. Oh, it'll increase. Because, you know, every kid they can find, it'll be stapled to an adult. Yep. Yep. You know, you know that's going to happen. Of course. It incentivizes human trafficking.

It's a chess game here. So, you look, you have to step back and you have to say, what is the most effective way to defeat the first. permissive forces on the left who don't want any border. Okay, so... So wait. I wrote a message of the day on Bill O'Reilly.com that laid out what happened in California when the Hispanic population, Latino population, went from 3 million to 15 million.

The whole state became a democratic precinct because of that five-fold jump in Hispanics living in California. That's what happened there. It's provable. So now you have in the largest state, one-party state. That's what the Democratic Party wants to do in Arizona, in Texas, in Florida, flood the zone with as many Latinos that they can get in here by chain migration. Remember, you get in here and you establish residency legally, you can take in 30 people. Okay? That's chain migration. So if Trump gets, doesn't get reelected and someone like Biden or Michelle Obama wins, then where our country is essentially going to change dramatically. Yes, I agree. Demographically, politically,

economically, everything's going to change. So that the game that the Trump people are playing now is we have to stop that. Okay. So but if you're building a wall, if you're building a wall, if you're building a wall. I know you say this is minutia. If you're building a wall with this bill, it accomplishes everything the Democrats want, even if...

There's no other alternative. Yes, there is. A continuing resolution. This is a symbol of the fight. It's a symbol of the fights like the Rubicon. Expensive symbol, though. We have to make our stand here

because there's nowhere else to make the stand. Where would you make the stand? Say Trump signs the bill, as you suggested, and then does something else. No, no, no, I don't want him to sign the bill. My problem is with the bill. My problem is with the bill because every, no, it doesn't. A continuing resolution. We've had one since George Bush left office. Why this push all of a sudden for this spending bill when you can just do what we've done since George Bush left office? We don't have a, we don't have a budget. We have a continuing resolution. So sign a continuing resolution.

He has to basically go to the Congress, and either put his name on a bill or not. If he doesn't, as you suggest, then chaos breaks out. I mean, it's just all over the place, and he can't even govern because every single day he's going to be more litigation is going to be this, that he's overstep his authority, we want this nothing else will get done the whole government would be paralyzed

what happening in Great Britain with the Brexit thing so here's the here's my feeling is he is going to announce a continuing resolution

and he's going to sign this bill the bill will be implemented because everyone will be looking at the massive fight that's coming over the state of emergency and there

going to hold that wall up every step of the way through courts. It will go to the Supreme Court. Marco Rubio just said he's not sure he could support that. I mean, it's going to be, that's all we're going to be talking about. Meanwhile, more ICE agents will be employed because they can employ another 100, 1,200. But none of them can actually work on detaining people. According to this bill, they have to be hired to help read. relocate people from the border into the center of the country, wherever it is they want to go and just catch and release. But now, now we're a travel agency. Now ICE is a travel agency. Yeah, where do you want to go? We'll drive you.

And that's, and so, so my, my thought is that you're taking it way too literally. I don't think any of this stuff's going to happen. I don't think any ICE agents are going to help anybody relocating to the United States. They're basically going to try to wall it. up in the sense that not going to let anybody in, just like they did with the caravan. All right, so the caravan shows up in Tijuana, now they're in Texas, and there's thousands of people living in tents. Well, they're not getting in here. All right, they're not getting in here for asylum.

They're not getting in here anyway, because they walled it up. They basically said, we're not taking you. You're not coming in, and just for the press, we'll take 25 a day, all right, and we'll process them. It's what's going to happen here. It's the same thing. But I think that the larger picture is that Americans have a decision to make. What kind of country do you want, all right?

And that's what the Trump people are playing. They're playing, look at these crazy Democrats. Look what they want to do, all right? So you can't give them power. And that's what they're gambling on in the White House. That message will get through. And I think that I'm hopeful that that message is going to get through because we are at the end of the public. Back with Bill O'Reilly. We're still waiting the president to speak. Bill, one quick

question for you, because you are the author of 975 number one New York Times bestsellers. And you have another one that is sure to be number one coming up about the president. You know him better than anybody. Every time you've talked to him all the time, you always add really interesting perspective about the way he thinks. At least that's what I think. I don't know what anyone else thinks. But when it comes to this, we know the fight, it's going to be a crazy fight. why didn't he stand like this when Republicans had control for two years? Because they couldn't get a full caucus in the house because of the freedom people to support what he wanted to do.

So the freedom, what is it? The freedom caucus. Freedom caucus. Okay. So they basically said, look, we're hard guys. You're blaming this on what we want. And Ryan, the speaker. couldn't coalesce, they couldn't get it.

And then in the Senate, McConnell kept saying to him, look, I'm not going to get 60. So no matter what I do, whatever proposal I put out, we're not going to get 60. We're not going to be able to vote. So he's stymied in both houses. Okay. So it's more likely now, right? Like now the Democrats have control, at least then the Republicans. Yeah, but now what he's going to do is not even listen to them.

So I can't impress upon you enough that a state of emergency gives the president tremendous latitude to do exactly what he wants to do. Oh, I am very well of where that. It's concerning, though, isn't it? But you say, okay, the Democrats are dancing around saying, okay, now when we get power, we're going to do the gun thing. But they're going to run up against constitutional issues. On that one, they will. That will be difficult. Global warming, they won't. Because I wrote a really brilliant column that I hope someone.

somebody read to back. I did not, and I didn't ask anybody to read it. What is this, what is this Green New Deal all about, really? It's about totalitarianism. Yes. In every single country that has gone from a ruler to a dictator, the dictator, phonyed up some panicked thing that threw the population into this frenzy that will give away our rights and you can make it better Mussolini. Every single one. Throughout history, there's never been an exception where people voluntarily said, oh, we'd like a dictator. Come on in here, Franco, and tell us what to do.

This global warming stuff, this is where we're all going to die. We're all going to die. So we have to do Green New Deal, where we, the Democrats, in Washington and tell you what to eat. All right, we're going to tell you with the drive, what medical procedures you can and cannot have. We're going to take your stuff. After you die, we're going to take everything you have.

Okay? This is totalitarianism. This isn't democracy. So they want to control lives of Americans on every single front. And they're using climate change to frighten. people in Berkeley, California, who can barely find their way to the facilities, all right? They're that dense into supporting totalitarianism and one-party rule, which is exactly what they have in California. One-party rule.

And that's what's happening, and it's frightening because it could succeed with the decline of our educational system. And by the way, the Green New Deal will tell the two. teacher, what the teacher can teach, and not teach. It extends into every single thing America has. And that's why I've sold 987,000 books, a million books, because I figure this stuff out first. All right? Well, only because you were listening to this program about four days ago when we said the same thing. Look, here's the thing. Bill, here's the thing. You're absolutely correct on that. fascistic or

communistic, whatever, totalitarian view. However it shapes up, there is a totalitarian view, and the one thing you left out is the economy. If Brexit goes horribly, which I think I'm hoping is kind of like the hype on Y2K, but if it goes

horribly and Europe goes into the abyss, so do we, and everyone will be clamoring for a bigger government and then we we see it we see it go away um no i just see i disagree with that analysis okay good well we're going to come we're going to come back um with more from bill o'Reilly here in a second i do want to tell stations that we're waiting for the president to give this speech uh to declare a national emergency if he comes out during the break go ahead and take that and we will join it already in progress on the other side with Bill O'Reilly,

but we will be taking it live. All right, we're getting ready for the president. He's expected to make a, declare a national emergency. Our chief researcher is in Jason Betrille. Jason, tell me what this, he has to use very specific language here, does he not? Yeah, the way the law has been changed over the years. He's got a states very specifically how he's going to use the funds and how he's going to, you know, everything he's going to use government-wise in this national emergency. So it'll be very, very telling on, you know, how much this can be taken advantage of or abused going forward.

We're on, we're online now with our White House correspondent from the Blaze in Washington, D.C. And John is sending us pictures that we have not seen on TV yet of all. of the I want to say gold star moms but they're not gold star angel moms

they have all been invited to the Rose Garden and they have pictures of their fallen loved ones

and so there's no doubt in our mind this is where he's where he's going Bill O'Reilly is with us

now Bill as we wait for the president is there anything here that you can add to this conversation

on just even declaring a national emergency? Well, he told me he's not going to go and do it until Beck and O'Reilly were finished on a radio. Yeah, good. Yeah. All right, well, I'm kind of excited to hear it, so maybe we should declare we're finished.

You know, he just didn't want that kind of backlash. You know, to knock us out off the year. The only thing I can tell you is that this is the ultimate political chess game. And there is only one objective here, and that is to get Trump back for four years, so that he can then run wild with what he wants to do. Because they're trying to implement a strategy where he would be reelected and the House would go back to the Republicans. Okay. And they want to do it by radicalizing the Democrats, and that's not real hard. Democratic parties.

But all Joe Biden's in the race now, as I predicted and told you, that he would be the frontrunner. And unless Michelle Obama gets in, Biden, I believe, will be the nominee with Camilla Harris on the second. And Trump could beat him, depending on the economy. So that's what's really in play on all of this stuff. You can get buried in minutia, as Beck has a tendency to do. Okay? But I'm telling you that these guys, when they have the power in the White House and in Pelosi's office and in McConnell's office, they can figure out ways around this stuff, that you can do that. And it's a short-term play. It's 2020 is the vote. It's not far away. So that's what it's all about. I can say, you know, minutia is, obviously, you can get hung up in that, but is it, are you thinking in a somewhat minutia-friendly way while saying the only goal is 20-20s election? Yeah, the long-term goal is 18 months.

As you just said, that's short-term. Look, I know this White House, as you guys know, I know it. I know it. So that's what they're thinking. And there's nobody can say, oh, Riley's wrong. I'm not. That's the only thing on their mind. now. That's it.

All right. So you're not saying. Give up or, you know, this or that. The Border Patrol is going to take somebody to 7-Eleven. They'll do it because they'll obliterate all that if they can regain power in both houses. And he gets reelected in 2020. Does that worry you, though, as a motivation? No.

What worries me is, look, I interviewed Donald Trump Jr. yesterday, all right, for the book. the United States of Trump. And he says something very astute. And he was a great interview, a thousand times better than his father, because he didn't want to tell me anything about his background. I found out anyway. But Trump Jr. said to me,

I live in Manhattan, and most of my friends are liberals. And in the past, I could understand many of their positions. Now, I can't. the party has moved so far left. It's so destructive that no longer can I even have a conversation with him. Hang on.

Here comes the president. Here he comes. Here comes the president of the United States. Thank you, Bill. Bill o'Reilly.com is a place to go as well as he's got the new Trump book up and you can know it's by all of his other ones as well. All right. Station, we are on just a bit of a delay, just a couple of seconds delay.

So we are going to be taking the president who is expected now. to make the declare a state of national emergency. This is going to be, you know, it's a big moment. We're yet to see how it's going to play out. There's a huge fight in the, as far as Democrats will definitely try to overturn this. There will also be a huge court battle and that battle is not decided yet. It's never been tested on something like this. It does appear he can legally do this.

On the other side of that, though, it has never been tested on anything even somewhat controversial. So there's a lot of a lot of wrangling to go on. Likely scenario, if he does this, he's probably still not actually starting to build the wall for quite some time. He also, this will be the first time state of emergency has actual appropriated funds for anything. Here we go, the president.
