Speaker 1: Let's get started right out the gate, y'all, with my
Speaker 1: first guest. He's a political commentator, doesn't call himself conservatives.
Speaker 1: He says he's independent. On television and radio, he's a
Speaker 1: personality there as well.
Speaker 2: He's an author who is.
Speaker 1: Probably best known as host of his former show, The
Speaker 1: O'Reilly Factor on Fox News Channel. You can catch him
Speaker 1: every weeknight at six pm Eastern on the No Spin News.
Speaker 1: Please welcome the man himself, the one and only Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. Sir, how are you?
Speaker 3: I'm the same, which is tragic for everyone, but consistency
Speaker 3: there is something to be said for it.
Speaker 2: How would you describe yourself?
Speaker 1: Let me just start out there right when you say
Speaker 1: I'm the same, much of the chagrine of everyone.
Speaker 2: What would you describe yourself as being? Bill O'Reilly?
Speaker 4: Independent, thinker, bloviator, provocateur at times, okay, judgmental and very
Speaker 4: Irish American.
Speaker 1: You do know that when you say you're an independent,
Speaker 1: a lot of people say, you know what, Steven, and
Speaker 1: when you're gonna ask that man win the last time
Speaker 1: he voted for a Democrat because they can't see you
Speaker 1: vote for a Democrat when they when you say you're
Speaker 1: I like you said that independent thinker, but usually you
Speaker 1: just say independent. And what I'm saying is is that
Speaker 1: you know what he says, he's an independent. I'm going
Speaker 1: to believe him. I call myself an independent. Let's not
Speaker 1: grow skepticism this man's way. But could you see yourself
Speaker 1: voting for a Democrat? Have your voted for a Democrat
Speaker 1: in recent memory?
Speaker 3: Bill o Roddy, I voted if it's Swazi in November. Okay,
Speaker 3: Congressman the third district. He's a Democrat, and know him well.
Speaker 3: I think he's an honest man. I voted for him
Speaker 3: because the Republican didn't really advance anything. In my eyes,
Speaker 3: that overrode what I know about Swashing. Look, the people
Speaker 3: try to pigeonhole me. Don't know anything about me. They
Speaker 3: don't know how I analyze the news. They don't understand
Speaker 3: my philosophy because they believe what they want to believe.
Speaker 3: And I'm used to it.
Speaker 2: But let me interject.
Speaker 1: I get the part about they want to believe what
Speaker 1: they want to believe. But you can't say they don't
Speaker 1: really know you. I mean, Bill, You've been on the
Speaker 1: after how many years? How many days we know you little.
Speaker 3: Bit as fifty how they don't know you, Bill, But
Speaker 3: it's a segmented audience. We had an enormous audience and
Speaker 3: we do today. Millions and millions of people every every
Speaker 3: day watch me in some capacity and on Fox record
Speaker 3: number sixteen years consecutive number one. But the audience that
Speaker 3: will devote time to listening to me is primarily traditional,
Speaker 3: not conservative. The far right. They don't like me at all.
Speaker 3: They attack me all the time, but it's a traditional
Speaker 3: audience because they know where I'm coming from. The liberal
Speaker 3: audience we had about because we did analytics. When I
Speaker 3: was at Fox, it was sixty percent traditional, twenty percent
Speaker 3: non aligned in twenty percent liberal that would watch us
Speaker 3: on a daily basis. Now it's ninety five conservative traditional
Speaker 3: at Fox. They've lost that. So we know that most
Speaker 3: liberals they don't want to listen to O'Reilly, and they
Speaker 3: believe what they want to believe. But here's a good
Speaker 3: and interesting point for you. When I do shows like
Speaker 3: John Stewart, there's an enormous audience on the left for
Speaker 3: those shows, and they don't come out of it hating me.
Speaker 3: In fact, my last apparent's on David Letterman. I got
Speaker 3: a standing oh for Letterman, who did his best to
Speaker 3: try to make me look foolish, A standing oh. It
Speaker 3: shocked him. So I think that I have a broader appeal.
Speaker 3: But I agree with you that a lot of people
Speaker 3: think that I'm some kind of conservative ideo loge.
Speaker 1: Who dislikes you more the left, or the extreme left
Speaker 1: or the extreme right.
Speaker 3: No, the left for sure, okay, because I have very
Speaker 3: little tolerance for the woke people. The extreme right is
Speaker 3: much narrow, It's a much more narrow crew than the left.
Speaker 3: The left has really made in roads in this country,
Speaker 3: and they control the Democratic Party. The far left does
Speaker 3: at this point, whereas the right has not done that.
Speaker 3: You know, Donald Trump's not an idea log He couldn't
Speaker 3: give you any kind of verse about the Republican Party
Speaker 3: or ideology. He's more of a deal maker. But his
Speaker 3: audience maga, and so he plays to that audience.
Speaker 1: You know, when we think about you know this Sunday, Westbury,
Speaker 1: New York, three pm Eastern Standard time, You're going to
Speaker 1: have the Three Americans Live event, myself, you and the
Speaker 1: one and only Chris Cuomo.
Speaker 2: You see the promo right there.
Speaker 1: Yes, I have been I have been promoting it every
Speaker 1: single day, every single show, Bill O'Riley, as I've been
Speaker 1: instructed by someone who will remain nameless, but it's sitting
Speaker 1: right in front of me. The point that I'm saying, Bill,
Speaker 1: is this, when we see this event coming up, what
Speaker 1: do you believe and what would you articulate to the
Speaker 1: audience that we're going to give them that they haven't
Speaker 1: seen before.
Speaker 3: Excellent question. So I did this as an experiment to
Speaker 3: see if we could meld three different audiences into one
Speaker 3: enjoyable afternoon. And I'm not sure whether we're going to
Speaker 3: succeed or not. We'll succeed as far as capacity in
Speaker 3: the theater. We sold a lot of tickets, but will
Speaker 3: the audiences get along, will there be an equal amount
Speaker 3: of different thinkers. I don't know, but I did it
Speaker 3: because I am tired of the choir. One of the
Speaker 3: reasons that you are successful both in sports and now
Speaker 3: you're making a move into policy is because people don't
Speaker 3: know what you're gonna say, and you say I with passion,
Speaker 3: and so that unpredictability about Steven A. Smith attracts an audience.
Speaker 3: Same thing with me, Cuomo A little bit more, Doctor
Speaker 3: Naire left, although he's changed a little bit. When you
Speaker 3: say the one and only Chris Cuomo, I almost applauded.
Speaker 3: We really don't need another one. But he's there and
Speaker 3: we are going to listen to what he has to say.
Speaker 3: But I want to show the country. We're going to
Speaker 3: shoot this, by the way, for TV. I'm not going
Speaker 3: to run it. It's more of a pilot situation. But
Speaker 3: you have to come see us if you want to
Speaker 3: see what we do. But I'm hoping that we can
Speaker 3: meld this so that everybody has a good time, even
Speaker 3: if you disagree or you are a different mindset than
Speaker 3: the person sitting next to you in the theater, that
Speaker 3: you all come out and have a good time and
Speaker 3: learn something because I'm going to bring it as I
Speaker 3: always do. So it is a very interesting experiment because
Speaker 3: if you watch television now, it's all choet, it's all
Speaker 3: right wing, left wing. They're horrible. Whatever we do is great,
Speaker 3: and that's boring to me, and I don't like that.
Speaker 3: I like robust debate. I like hearing different points of view.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And I'll give you credit for that because a
Speaker 1: lot of people would look at you and they'd see
Speaker 1: you hosting on Fox News years ago. They'll see you
Speaker 1: hosting your show now and they wouldn't get that impression.
Speaker 1: And they look at me, and you'll come to me
Speaker 1: like you did last week. Get out your phone or
Speaker 1: your notebook and take these notes down. And you brought
Speaker 1: up the Yolta conference at all of this other stuff. Yes,
Speaker 1: I've been reading up on it. Bill, by the way,
Speaker 1: I've been reading up on it, and you have people
Speaker 1: that had an attitude, and I said.
Speaker 2: WHOA, I like Bill o'reiley. I know that might shock you,
Speaker 2: but I like him.
Speaker 1: I think he likes me, and we like going at
Speaker 1: each other in our own in our own way. I
Speaker 1: know that I don't know as much as that man,
Speaker 1: humble yourself, the man been covering politics for fifty years.
Speaker 2: I'm just getting started. I think he would have a
Speaker 2: head start.
Speaker 1: Get over it for crying out loud, But the world
Speaker 1: that we live in, I think one of the reasons
Speaker 1: you came up with this idea is because you are
Speaker 1: lamenting the fact that we can't have reasonable, sensible and
Speaker 1: respectful discourse, and you believe that's something that will transpire
Speaker 1: this weekend.
Speaker 3: To that you say, what I don't want tribalism in
Speaker 3: this country. Tribalism is a weakness, not a strength. I
Speaker 3: don't like the tribes. So about ten years ago, I
Speaker 3: went to a concert the Eisley Brothers and Frankie Mays
Speaker 3: and time all black audience at Jones Beach. Okay, yep,
Speaker 3: I walk in. I'm the only white guy in a
Speaker 3: place except for the security cards. So my date goes,
Speaker 3: she's looking at me. She goes, are you sure this
Speaker 3: is a good idea? I said, this is gonna be great.
Speaker 3: So I was sitting right down front, and so I
Speaker 3: walked down to the seats. Everybody sees me. It's an
Speaker 3: outdoor venue, and half the crowd knew it was me,
Speaker 3: and I'm just I'm waving. Everybody's waving at me, and yeah,
Speaker 3: you're gonna everybody want pictures with me. It was and
Speaker 3: that's the America that I like. Now. They don't agree.
Speaker 3: I'm sure that most people at the concert, particularly Ronald Isley,
Speaker 3: I don't agree with my point of view about life.
Speaker 3: But it was good nature and that's what I want
Speaker 3: to get back to. And that's why I'm doing this show.
Speaker 3: It's my production company, as you know, and I hope
Speaker 3: We're treating you well. You are, and I'm gonna try
Speaker 3: to market this into something bigger. I don't know whether
Speaker 3: I'll be able to succeed.
Speaker 2: Oh you probably. You'll probably succeed because you got me.
Speaker 2: You got me. We ain't losing Bill. We ain't try
Speaker 2: to lose it. It's just the way that it is.
Speaker 1: Let me get to some issues that that that I
Speaker 1: have to I have to approach with you right now.
Speaker 1: I want to get right into the headlines around the
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in this new administration featuring Elon Musk. Last week,
Speaker 1: Steve Bannon was on Cuomo on News Nation and said
Speaker 1: that Trump will run again at twenty twenty eight and win.
Speaker 1: When pressed by Cuomo that Trump is termed out, Bannon said,
Speaker 1: the team is developing ways to elect Trump a third time.
Speaker 1: You wrote it off. I did not take Conley to
Speaker 1: that Bill, O'Reilly. I want you to explain yourself as
Speaker 1: to why you wrote it off, man.
Speaker 3: Because in the constitution it says you can't do it.
Speaker 3: What is that I'm gonna do? Have a vote to
Speaker 3: two thirds of the state to overturn the constitutional amendment.
Speaker 3: Look at the map. You're not gonna get two thirds
Speaker 3: of the States to do that. It's ridiculous. It's what
Speaker 3: they always do, all right. You have to understand if
Speaker 3: you read The United States or Trump, which is by
Speaker 3: far the best book ever written about Donald Trump by me,
Speaker 3: your humble correspondent, It's all about provocation. It's all about
Speaker 3: putting your opposition off balance, getting them annoyed, getting them emotional.
Speaker 3: And that's what these maga people do. Betten knows is
Speaker 3: no way that Donald Trump's gonna run for a third term.
Speaker 3: Trump knows it, everybody knows. But they just throw the
Speaker 3: hander inad out hoping that some nit wit on CNN
Speaker 3: will get upset and rant and rave. This is a
Speaker 3: hobby for them. They enjoy this, okay, But what does
Speaker 3: it do like that? It's just today.
Speaker 1: If example, if somebody or CNN or MSNBC goes off,
Speaker 1: what and they provoke somebody to do that, what is
Speaker 1: the what is the fallout from it? In the eyes
Speaker 1: of a Trump abandon et cetera.
Speaker 3: There isn't any those people are going to vote for
Speaker 3: him anyway, so they don't have any downside to it.
Speaker 3: It's like a heckler in the dugout or on the
Speaker 3: bench in a basketball game. Or football game. You try
Speaker 3: to throw your opposition off balance. You try to confuse
Speaker 3: them by throwing in all of this stuff and calling
Speaker 3: them names or whatever you do. And that's what the
Speaker 3: prime administration does. They throw out all of this stuff.
Speaker 3: About twenty percent of it is real and the other
Speaker 3: eighty percent is what they call hyperbole. And so Trump
Speaker 3: will go, oh, Joe Biden is the worst president of
Speaker 3: all time, and everybody go, yeay, well he's not. He's
Speaker 3: the second worst, right, not that he is worse than
Speaker 3: James Buchanan, But he doesn't care. He's going for the headline.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's just going for the headlines.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's the ol bait and switch, coax
Speaker 1: them or provoke them in the singing and doing something
Speaker 1: stupid that resembles, resembles the rhetoric during the campaign, and
Speaker 1: as a result, you're able to point to them being crazy,
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. And that's why you need to
Speaker 1: vote for me, because you can't trust the liberals. I
Speaker 1: think that's what he's doing. But let me get to
Speaker 1: my next question, because I'm still on President Trump's administration.
Speaker 1: This comment's about featuring Elon Musk, the world's richest man.
Speaker 2: As a chief advisor. Musk has been given up.
Speaker 1: Presidented access and all the private citizen has ever received.
Speaker 2: Why should we, as the American people be okay with
Speaker 2: this bill? O'Reilly?
Speaker 3: You don't have to be okay with it. I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm not telling any American you should be happy with
Speaker 3: Elon Musk there because I don't know. So last Monday,
Speaker 3: Saint Patrick's Day, I was in a cabinet meeting in
Speaker 3: the White House. I was invited there by the President,
Speaker 3: who occasionally asked for my presence because he knows that
Speaker 3: a lot of people will only tell him what he
Speaker 3: wants to hear, and I, knowing him thirty five years,
Speaker 3: will tell him what I think and try to back
Speaker 3: it up and he likes that. So I'm there and
Speaker 3: sitting right next to me is Elon Musk, who I
Speaker 3: met one time before in Hollywood and didn't talk to him.
Speaker 3: I just said, hey, how you doing, and he said
Speaker 3: about that. I had a twenty minute conversation with him,
Speaker 3: and my son witnessed it because my son was on
Speaker 3: my left flank, and in the conversation he asked me
Speaker 3: about what he might improve on in his presentation, and
Speaker 3: I told him my opinion, but I've been in a
Speaker 3: TV business fifty years. I know how to present. He
Speaker 3: listened and that was it. Now I'm neutral on Elon Musk.
Speaker 3: So I am bullish on wasteful spending and getting rid
Speaker 3: of it, but I don't want people to get hurt unnecessarily.
Speaker 3: So I want a very deliberate, methodical machine to downsize
Speaker 3: the federal government. I admire must success. Everybody should. He
Speaker 3: brought those astronauts down, and the media didn't give him
Speaker 3: nearly as much credit. That was a brilliant, brilliant operation
Speaker 3: to get those two astronauts down, and Musk was behind that.
Speaker 3: So I admire his success, but I'm neutral on him
Speaker 3: because I don't really know him very well, and I
Speaker 3: think that's a fair way to play it at this point.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Trump right now with Musk, and I'm
Speaker 1: seeing suggestions about oddly cutting waste, fraud, etc. And I
Speaker 1: remember a friend of mine sent me a video because
Speaker 1: he's a Republican, and he was saying, Stephen A Before
Speaker 1: you want to sit up there and excoriate Trump and
Speaker 1: Musking what they're doing. He sent me videos of Nancy
Speaker 1: Pelosi and Chuck Schumer back in twenty and twelve. I
Speaker 1: remember correct that. I think it's twenty ten, And then
Speaker 1: it was again in twenty twelve, literally using the same
Speaker 1: words fraud, waste, et cetera. We're going to have to
Speaker 1: cut medicare. This is what they were saying at the time.
Speaker 1: So again, once again we point to some hypocrisy considering
Speaker 1: that reality, as you look at Trump and how he's
Speaker 1: marched forward, how would you judge his first few months
Speaker 1: in the White House? In his return to the White House.
Speaker 1: It's one thing to talk about doing stuff. It's another
Speaker 1: thing to actually look at what he's doing. As the
Speaker 1: man who's known him for thirty five years, how would
Speaker 1: you label the job that he has done us far?
Speaker 1: Critique the job that he has done us far? The
Speaker 1: positives and the negatives?
Speaker 3: Well, I have to break it out, just do one uniform.
Speaker 3: So on the border A plus all right, knocked out
Speaker 3: the open border in record time, ninety four percent intrusions
Speaker 3: less than Biden had. That is an incredible achievement. Incredible.
Speaker 3: As far as the migrants inside the United States, I
Speaker 3: just talked to Tom Homan. I have a pretty good
Speaker 3: idea on what the strategy is going forward, and I'm
Speaker 3: supportive of it. You have to get the dubious people out,
Speaker 3: and if a criminal alien is dating an alien that
Speaker 3: doesn't have a criminal record, they both go. The Homeland
Speaker 3: security is not going to delineate at that level. So
Speaker 3: I'm with him. On the economy. The tariff thing was
Speaker 3: too much, too soon, and it shook the market. Now
Speaker 3: I think the market is going to come back, but
Speaker 3: I don't know, and that was not a good thing
Speaker 3: for the Trump administration because people get nervous when you
Speaker 3: see that kind of a drop that fast. And I
Speaker 3: don't know why he had to do all the tariffs
Speaker 3: at once. You could just piece it out a little bit.
Speaker 3: I don't think she'd be invading Canada or Greenland or Panama.
Speaker 3: I think when you can get what you want without
Speaker 3: rattling their cage to that extent, but it's the same thing.
Speaker 3: Rattle them up, keep them of balanced. It'll be easier
Speaker 3: to get what we want. So Trump is trying to
Speaker 3: get better economic deals. He wants more companies to move
Speaker 3: back to the United States. That seems to be happening
Speaker 3: with Putin. I'm optimistic that there is going to be
Speaker 3: a cease fire, but Putin will drag it out as
Speaker 3: long as he can. But I'll tell you this, and
Speaker 3: I know this to be true, and this is the
Speaker 3: most important thing We'll probably have on a Stephen A.
Speaker 3: Smith podcast tonight. If Putin makes Trump look bad, Trump
Speaker 3: will hurt him. Knows that. How you shut down all
Speaker 3: the banking to Moscow, Wow to me bank that does
Speaker 3: business with Russia, and that'll that'll be it for Putin.
Speaker 3: All the Oligarusic will turn on them, military will turn
Speaker 3: on him. The only reason Putin's in power is because
Speaker 3: he buys the military and the very, very wealthy criminals
Speaker 3: who run Russia. You shut off their banking. Nobody wants
Speaker 3: the ruble. They can't get dollars. It's over for Putin.
Speaker 1: Getting back to Elon Musk some of the waste, fraud,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Department of Education, what Trump's want in terms
Speaker 1: of it's eradication. Your thoughts about federal employees losing their jobs.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know this is these are real lives
Speaker 1: that are being affected. People bring that up a lot
Speaker 1: of times when folks on the right get critiqued. The
Speaker 1: belief is they don't care enough about the working class,
Speaker 1: but the left does, even though we now know that
Speaker 1: the left has lost lost the working class, and Donald
Speaker 1: Trump won an election because the working class have more
Speaker 1: faith in him than they did in the left. Your
Speaker 1: thoughts about the Trump administration and their position on that
Speaker 1: federal jobs people losing their jobs right now in terms
Speaker 1: of cutting cost.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I'm very sympathetic to anybody who's honest
Speaker 3: in making a living and trying to improve the nation.
Speaker 3: Some people are gonna get let go that shouldn't get
Speaker 3: let go. And I am calling for the Trump administration
Speaker 3: to be as precise in its cuts as it can be.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of waste, there's a lot of people
Speaker 3: not doing what they should do. The federal government has
Speaker 3: to be downsized. It has to be. You can't carry
Speaker 3: a thirty six trillion dollar debt. I mean, we're going
Speaker 3: to run out of money in July according to Federal Reserve,
Speaker 3: And I mean that you think the stock market is
Speaker 3: wobbly now? If the United State SUTs a default on
Speaker 3: its debt, can't pay its interest on a saving response,
Speaker 3: you're looking at a depression situation here. So you've got
Speaker 3: to downsize it and win any downsize and good people
Speaker 3: are gonna use lose their jobs. But the good news
Speaker 3: is there plenty of jobs in a private sector, plenty
Speaker 3: of jobs. You can make a good living in this
Speaker 3: country if you're honest in and work hard and have skills.
Speaker 3: It's not like you're going into the desert. You're not.
Speaker 3: It's opportunities Bill at this point.
Speaker 2: At this point, you gotta be your life.
Speaker 3: You got to be fair as you can about it at.
Speaker 1: This point in your life. And I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: you in terms of how you're living. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: your knowledge of how Americans can and should live from
Speaker 1: your prism. When we think about a thirty six trillion
Speaker 1: dollar debt, when we think about the state and the
Speaker 1: plight of this country, particularly on.
Speaker 2: Those terms, who's more culpable? Is neither party?
Speaker 1: Is one party significantly more culpable than the other, or
Speaker 1: is it a combination of them all. I think about
Speaker 1: a thirty six trillion, thirty six thirty seven trillion dollar debt,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, wait a minute. Reagan was in office, HW
Speaker 1: had a term. Reagan had two terms, W had two terms.
Speaker 1: Trump's now back for a second time. I understand Obama
Speaker 1: and Clinton was in the mix day into up to
Speaker 1: the proceedings per se. But you had both parties up
Speaker 1: in there. When you think about our thirty seven trillion
Speaker 1: dollar debt, who's most culpable for that bill?
Speaker 2: O'Reilly?
Speaker 3: All of them? I mean, vote buying is just a scandal.
Speaker 3: We'll give you this, we'll give you that. We'll give
Speaker 3: you this, we'll give you that, we'll give you this.
Speaker 3: You can't you at the money. Capitalistic nation. This isn't Sweden. Okay,
Speaker 3: we don't do cradle the grave entitlements here. The Democratic
Speaker 3: Party wants that kind of a system. That's why Bernie
Speaker 3: Sanders and a constant cortezro on the tour now to
Speaker 3: convince Americans to do socialism that will take care of you. Okay,
Speaker 3: we'll spend on you and we'll take the money from
Speaker 3: O'Reilly and Stephen A. Smith and we'll give it to you.
Speaker 3: That's what they do. But the Republicans, they had no
Speaker 3: interest in cutting anything, none, because it's too hard. Then
Speaker 3: they ah, yeah, we'll get it any it. Ah, we'll
Speaker 3: give it to him. We'll do this, we'll do that.
Speaker 3: We got much money the Pentagon waste. I mean, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: How much money they waste. They don't discipline their buys,
Speaker 3: they don't supervise their bills. They waste money because it's
Speaker 3: an endless figot. It's not like you're running a household budget.
Speaker 3: All right, Oh yeah, we need more money. Come out
Speaker 3: and they'll give us more money. It's called pork po RK.
Speaker 3: And the main job of the congress people in SATU
Speaker 3: is bring the poor homb to the state. And that's
Speaker 3: got to be revised. We get out of money bill.
Speaker 1: If politicians who are not known to be business folks,
Speaker 1: who aren't who aren't considered individuals that pride themselves on
Speaker 1: making deals, have been excessive with the use and the
Speaker 1: exploitation of pork, why in God's name should anybody believe
Speaker 1: that Trump is going to be a better option than
Speaker 1: those individuals that preceded him that contributed to the deficit.
Speaker 3: But he's doing it. That's why, bread my skin. He's
Speaker 3: doing it. He's going We're gonna pype out a lot
Speaker 3: of the unnecessary spending. He's doing it. He didn't do
Speaker 3: it in the first term because COVID wrecked everything. They
Speaker 3: had to pay the federal government. I paid so much
Speaker 3: money in these pharmaceutical companies to get these vaccines that
Speaker 3: he just blew everything up. But now he's doing it now.
Speaker 3: I don't know whether he can get through the swamp.
Speaker 3: I think he's going to make an improvements on that.
Speaker 3: He's got to go into the Pentagon, has to and
Speaker 3: I believe that'll be coming. But we do need to
Speaker 3: compete with China's military. We got to build more ships.
Speaker 3: That's going to cost a lot of money. But there
Speaker 3: are ways to do it. You have to want to
Speaker 3: do it. And in the past ninety percent of American
Speaker 3: politicians in both parties don't want to supervise spending. It's
Speaker 3: the last thing on their minds. Steven A. It's boring,
Speaker 3: it's numbers on a sheet. They don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: Last two questions before I'll let you get on out
Speaker 1: of here and thank you for your time. Number one,
Speaker 1: do you give and Bernie Sanders any snowballs chance in
Speaker 1: hell of resonating with the vast majority of American citizens
Speaker 1: once before the election?
Speaker 2: I would tell you hell no.
Speaker 1: But these things could be a bit cyclical, they could
Speaker 1: be a bit mobile. And if you're disgusted with Trump
Speaker 1: and Musk or whatever, who knows what chance do you
Speaker 1: give them for resonating as faces for the left in
Speaker 1: the next couple of years moving forward, particularly before the midterms.
Speaker 3: O Sanders is eighty three, so he's not going to
Speaker 3: do anything. Cassio Cortez is a socialist, hardcore maybe a communist.
Speaker 3: If you hear anybody say they believe in a wealth
Speaker 3: tax where the government would come into your home and
Speaker 3: take stuff from you, that's communism, that's confiscation. And I
Speaker 3: believe Ocassio Cortez supports that Sanders does. So I don't
Speaker 3: think Americans want that kind of oppressive government. Maybe twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five percent do. And that's the crew that these
Speaker 3: people play for. But here's the rub. The corporate media
Speaker 3: loves those people, even though they're the biggest greed heads
Speaker 3: in the world. The corporate media. You can't get more
Speaker 3: greedy than them. It's all about money. I mean, else
Speaker 3: cut your throat. They'll cut my throat for money, the
Speaker 3: corporate media. But they like Sanders into Acrossio Court does.
Speaker 3: It's one of the great anomalies of all time. And
Speaker 3: so they get a free ride, these two. But the
Speaker 3: American people you mentioned season your private property. I don't
Speaker 3: think they're gonna get anywhere on that.
Speaker 1: Before we get on out of here Sunday, Three Americans Live.
Speaker 1: You me, Chris Cuomo, I know what you're hoping for.
Speaker 1: What should they expect?
Speaker 3: Well, it give me a lot of laughs. Number one,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be very funny. And then the Q and
Speaker 3: A with the audience I think is going to be
Speaker 3: the most fascinating part. We're going to have the second
Speaker 3: half of the show the audience at Westbury Music Fair
Speaker 3: and again, you go to Bill O'Reilly dot com, you
Speaker 3: go to Stephnasmith dot com. We'll link you right over
Speaker 3: to the box office. So you go to Ticketmaster, a
Speaker 3: call a theater VIP sold out fast, so we put
Speaker 3: fifteen more out and then we're putting extra sections in
Speaker 3: two So there's a big demand for the show at
Speaker 3: this point. But the Q and a's are going to
Speaker 3: be fascinating about what the folks want to know from us,
Speaker 3: and they can direct a question to any of the three.
Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to it. I just think it's
Speaker 3: going to be a two hour, fifteen minute show that
Speaker 3: you remember the rest of your life. And the most
Speaker 3: important thing about the show is it's authentic. I would
Speaker 3: not do a show with Phony's so Cuomo and Steven
Speaker 3: Ada are not Phony's me. It's almost horrifying on the
Speaker 3: way I am so. I think that the audience is
Speaker 3: going to get bang for their buck and remember what
Speaker 3: they see.
Speaker 1: I would like to state this for the record. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty oppressed. It looks the suit that you have on
Speaker 1: now looks pretty sharp. But you know you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to do better Sunday. Right, You're gonna have to up
Speaker 1: your game and elevate your you elevate your style to something.
Speaker 2: You do understand that, Bill Rally right, You do get
Speaker 2: that it's gonna be tight.
Speaker 3: I was down on Palm Beach this weekend. I bought
Speaker 3: a Brioni tie for the occasion. I had a trade
Speaker 3: in my car to buy it. But okay, no matter
Speaker 3: what kind of pink jacket you show up with, what
Speaker 3: kind of little pocket hanky you have, it's not gonna
Speaker 3: top this Brioni tie.
Speaker 2: All right, man, I'll see you Sunday, buddy. It looks
Speaker 2: it's good talking to you.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: Take it these Bill, we'll talk.
Speaker 3: So thanks having me, Steve it ay all right. Three
