Speaker 1: the Sixty Minutes. Steve Kroft, Yeah, that should be an

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: interesting conversation. He's an old time reporter, like I came

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: up the traditional way. He was Obama's go to guy.

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: You may remember on sixty Minutes. Knew all the legends,

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace and Hewett and all those guys, and you

21
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: know CBS in the news now a lot of changes

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: going on. I'm looking forward to that chat.

23
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: You used to work there at CBS News, and back

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: then it was a kind of a rational, sane place,

25
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: wasn't it.

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it always intense. I worked for Channel

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: two for two years with Jim Jensen and Ron Smith

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: and Warner wool for all those guys, and then I

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: got promoted to the National news Dan Rather, who not

30
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: particularly fond of and covered the wars in Central America

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: and the Falklands, things like that. So I was busy there,

32
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: But it was I would say it was a traditional

33
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: place with problems.

34
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well but compared to today's CBS News a little

35
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: more normal. You think they'll ever get these networks back

36
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: to normal?

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: No, it's too expensive. You know. Back when I was there,

38
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: we used to whip around the world first class airfare

39
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: and best hotels and you were like James Bond. Now

40
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: it's Motel six and it is that Jet Blue on

41
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: time And the answer is no.

42
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: Well, but that's every business, that's most businesses.

43
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but when you were attasked to really

44
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: do an honest shop covering the news and you don't,

45
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: then there's a problem. And CBS has really gone down.

46
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: Now they try to bring it back, and I give

47
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: them credit for that. I don't know whether it will

48
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: work or not.

49
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: Now, Bill O'Reilly, the great historian, listeners calling in questions

50
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: for you. Ronald Reagan re election wins forty nine states, unbelievable.

51
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: But what was what was the most successful election ever?

52
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: Nobody ever won? Fifty? Did they?

53
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: Washington? Nobody dissented? Yeah, and he could have been King

54
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: of America talking about no kings, they could have been

55
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: Washington could have been the king. Boy, they loved him,

56
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: and rightly so. There were other landslides, but Reagan wiped

57
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: out Jimmy Carter because Carter was so inefficient on a

58
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: par with Joe Biden. You know, Biden was worse because

59
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: of the border. But boy, oh boy, they were both terrible,

60
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: and there's been a lot of terrible presidents, but these

61
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: two were really, really in the forefront of modern times.

62
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: Now, Bill, righty, would you give some advice to the

63
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: Democrats they want to go after Trump. The kids seem

64
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: to put their finger on what it is that's bothering them.

65
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: He's not a king. This no king's made no sense.

66
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: Well, that's the problem, because no King's demonstration was really

67
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: a no solutions demonstration, That's what it was. So we

68
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: don't like chop okay, I understand, and discent is fine,

69
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: and it's a strength of our country. We should be

70
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: able to protest and responsibly. But if you're gonna hate

71
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: the guy and think he's the worst, then what do

72
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: you have that's better? So the best example is that,

73
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: according to just about every nuclear expert in the world,

74
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: Iran was very close to enriching uranium to the level

75
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: where it could have manufactured a knew very quickly. Well,

76
00:04:54,839 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: what's the Democratic Party's solution to that? Nothing? Nothing? And

77
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: what's your solution to controlling immigration? We'll let them all in.

78
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: Give him amnesty. And that's Trump's strongest card going into

79
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: the midterms. So you may not like them, and you

80
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: may not support the Youran war, although if you don't

81
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: support it, you really should have a reason. Not just

82
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: I hate Trump Trump's war, but what are you replacing

83
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: Trump with? What is a Democratic Congress is going to deliver?

84
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: It's going to deliver higher taxes, It's going to try

85
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: to get amnesty for all the millions of a document

86
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: that people that are here, with some exceptions, but you

87
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: really have to be a miscreant for the Democrats that

88
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: turn on you. If you're an illegal alien, you really

89
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: got to be bad. So Trump is on, Okay, is

90
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: this what you want? And that's why the Democratic Party

91
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: really they think that they're gonna sweep. But I'm not

92
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: so sure about that.

93
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's months and months and months where anything could happen. So, hey,

94
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: you're a Nasau County resident. Bruce Blakeman, great county executive.

95
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: He's coming up in the police, he's closing the gap

96
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 2: with Kathy Hokel. I think he's got a good chance.

97
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: What do you think?

98
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah? I do. He's got to get this funding thing,

99
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: and that'll go to federal court if they deny him

100
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: in Albany the funding because they did make a clerical error,

101
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: the Blakeman campaign did. But I don't think you can

102
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: alter an election financing an election for a clerical era

103
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: that has been corrected. And if the Democrats you know, so, no,

104
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: you're not getting any matching funds. I think has to

105
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: go to federal court and Blakeman will win. The problem

106
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: that Blakeman has is that people in the York don't

107
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: know him, and it's still to this day. I mean,

108
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: you go north of Duchess County, then people don't know

109
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, and he's got to buy that. He's got

110
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: to get on television and establish himself. The advantage he

111
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: has is Hopel because Hopel is now tied to Mandami

112
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: and she wants to get away from him, but she's

113
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: not going to be able to do that. And the

114
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: worst it gets in the city, the worse is going

115
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: to get for Hope.

116
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Blakeman could be This could be a very

117
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: Pataki like race. We didn't know him either, but he

118
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: just looked more genuine, more authentic, and people loved him

119
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: as they got to know him. So I could see

120
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: that happening here.

121
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, it just depends on New

122
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: york as tolerance for pain. You know how much pain

123
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: do we have to experience here with this Democratic one

124
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: party leadership? And know people are fleeing. Everybody knows that

125
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: the big money is going to south. The budget deficit

126
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: is insane. Mandami is confused, He's thirty four years old.

127
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: He can't run the city. It's going to get worse

128
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: and worse and worse. He making every mistake you could

129
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: possibly make he's allying himself with the most radical elements.

130
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: He himself is a communist and he is. You know,

131
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: all you have to do is look at the estate

132
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: tax and what he wants to take away from hard

133
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: working Americans who save their money and want to pass

134
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: it along to their family, to their heiress. He wants

135
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: to take it all. Nomin wants to take it all. Yeah,

136
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: that's communism. And so the people of New York State,

137
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: a lot of them are distracted, a lot of them

138
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: are poor, and they want the handouts above all else.

139
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: And I don't mean to diminish four people, but come on,

140
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: we all know what's going on there. And how much

141
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: pain do you want to absorb? And you know, I

142
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: hate going into that city now I used to love it.

143
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: I got to go tomorrow into the city. You know,

144
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: it's dirty. I don't feel threatened. I mean, you know,

145
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: when I'm walking around, but I'm not walking around late

146
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: at night. But there's marijuana smoke on every block. You know,

147
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: kids got to look at these indignities of people on

148
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: the street doing all this crazy stuff. It's gonna get worse.

149
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: So that's the key question in November. How much pain

150
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: do you want to absorb to keep the democratic structure

151
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: in place.

152
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: Well, Hey, the Trump Presidential Library, it has been announced

153
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: it'll be Miami. If this were ten years ago, whenn't

154
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: you think he want that library in New York. But

155
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: now he can't do it because of the crazy left

156
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: wing controlling Yeah.

157
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: If he does it will be indicted for whatever whatever

158
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: it may be. He got five exits and you need eight.

159
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: So it's taken in the federal court. Look, Donald Trump

160
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: epitomizes New York. He epitomized this the swagger of the city.

161
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: I wrote a book called the United States a Trump

162
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: that demonstrated how he did what he did as far

163
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: as building himself up into this unbelievable real estate colossus

164
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: when his father didn't want any part of it. The

165
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: guy is a quintessential New Yorker and now he can't

166
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: come here. Yeah, there's something wrong about that.

167
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: Hey, even though I read in California there's an exodus

168
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: from there, biggest dropping population have experienced in many, many years.

169
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: So I assume we can blame Gavin Newsom for that. Correct.

170
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: Well, I did a specialist week on San Francisco in

171
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: the collapse of it. It's on Bill O'Reilly dot com.

172
00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: It's harrowing, absolutely harrowing, and it's mirrored on La La

173
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: County is not quite as bad as San Francisco yet,

174
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: because San Francisco is a smaller situation than a forty

175
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: thousand drug addict substance abusers running around causing all kinds

176
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: of problems. They're in a certain area, so you're overwhelmed,

177
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: whereas La County's biggest county in a country. It's spread out,

178
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: but it's the same problem. No law enforcement, none, and

179
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: so when you have that kind of anarchy, people feel

180
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: afraid because they shouldn't. And if you get in trouble

181
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: in La County, I don't know where you go. It's

182
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: not the cops. The cops they're good, but the judges

183
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: and the prosecutors won't bring the cases. So forty thousand

184
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: homeless drug addicts running around San Francisco, it's ruined the city.

185
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: You got to watch that, simone. It's really something. You

186
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: go to Bill O'Reilly dot com, just punch it right

Speaker 1: tenderline district and I'll spell on it out for you.

189
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: It should never happen in America. Something like that should

190
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: never happen in this country.
