Speaker 1: Joining me now.
Speaker 2: Is a conservative political commentator, actually a registered independent. He's
Speaker 2: also a best selling author and obviously an elite television personality.
Speaker 2: He's been around a long time. He knows what the
Speaker 2: hell is going on. He is the one and only
Speaker 2: mister Bill O'Reilly. Welcome back to the Steven A.
Speaker 1: Smith Show. Sir? How you doing? How's everything you know?
Speaker 3: I don't know why I'm doing this, but everything else
Speaker 3: is fine.
Speaker 2: What do you mean you don't know why you're doing this?
Speaker 2: I mean you're on with your young buddy right here.
Speaker 2: That's why you're doing this, Bill, because I had to
Speaker 2: have you on the show because I wonder what the
Speaker 2: hell is going on?
Speaker 1: Man? I got we got parades in the nation's.
Speaker 2: Capital while protests are going on all over the country,
Speaker 2: these no King protests that's been taking place all over
Speaker 2: the United States of America opposing what Donald Trump is doing.
Speaker 2: In your words, Bill O'Reilly, could you explain to everybody
Speaker 2: what the hell is going on with the Trump administration
Speaker 2: in America right now as I.
Speaker 3: Can, Stephen A. And that's why you have me on
Speaker 3: for clarity of thought. Okay, So on Bill O'Reilly dot com.
Speaker 3: I write a message every day. Everybody can read it.
Speaker 3: You don't have to join up. All you have to
Speaker 3: do is want a perspective. Eighty million people voted for
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's seventy five million voted for Kamala Harris. I
Speaker 3: submit to you that about half of the Harris supporter
Speaker 3: is voted against Trump. They loathe him, and therefore the
Speaker 3: no King demonstrations. We're no surprise to any of us
Speaker 3: who understand how much fury there is on the left.
Speaker 4: That Donald Trumps president.
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter what he does, could be immigration, could be Iran,
Speaker 3: could be Medicaid, doesn't matter. So when a mass demonstration
Speaker 3: is called for, you're going to get a pretty good turnout.
Speaker 3: This was low, in my estimation across the country. The
Speaker 3: two hundred They say two thousand protests, but there were
Speaker 3: really two hundred of notes, and.
Speaker 4: There weren't that many people.
Speaker 3: But I wasn't surprised because the immigration is lighted a
Speaker 3: fuse that the left is just crazed about. So the
Speaker 3: no King stuff was predictable, didn't really amount too much. Now,
Speaker 3: the military thing was not well attended, but again that's predictable.
Speaker 4: It's Washington, d C.
Speaker 3: Three percent of voters in the district voted for Trump
Speaker 3: three percent, So yeah, they're not going to come out
Speaker 3: and wave at him on his birthday and say, yeah,
Speaker 3: we like.
Speaker 4: All the tanks.
Speaker 3: So most of this stuff, it's whipped up by the
Speaker 3: media in the hysteria.
Speaker 4: But it's predictable.
Speaker 2: And I get where you're coming from that it's predictable.
Speaker 2: But in the same breath, don't you find yourself wishing.
Speaker 2: I don't want to act like optics for everything, but
Speaker 2: it does matter. You know, You've got a situation where
Speaker 2: you have this parade going on to celebrating the two
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty anniversary of the army and what have you.
Speaker 2: It coincides with his seventy ninth birthday, and it's in
Speaker 2: the midst of these riots taking place across the United
Speaker 2: States of America. In one way, you're looking at it
Speaker 2: and you're saying, Okay, it appears to be much ado
Speaker 2: about nothing. It's just typical people who are against him
Speaker 2: and against his policies, against the administration.
Speaker 1: They're going to protest.
Speaker 2: On the other hand, it seems like he's feeding it
Speaker 2: as a distractionary measure because of some of the other
Speaker 2: things that aren't necessarily working. Whether it's the tariffs in
Speaker 2: some people's eyes, whether it's some of this stuff going
Speaker 2: on with Ice in Los Angeles and beyond, whether it's
Speaker 2: the war in Ukraine with Russia, Israel and Iran right now,
Speaker 2: Israel and a moque before some of the things.
Speaker 1: That he thought would work that he swore he would resolve.
Speaker 2: That's not necessarily what the American people are seeing right now. Bill,
Speaker 2: What do you say to that that this is basically
Speaker 2: an evasive or distraction Every tactic on behalf of the
Speaker 2: present aout.
Speaker 4: I see it that way. It's celebratory.
Speaker 3: Trump wants to celebrate his position, and so he uses his.
Speaker 4: Power to do that.
Speaker 3: The one thing that Trump has calculated that it's obvious
Speaker 3: and still vexing him is Ukraine. So he said on
Speaker 3: day one, I'll solve it, and it would have happened
Speaker 3: if I were president. Well, that's proved very, very difficult
Speaker 3: for him. But on all the other fronts, he believes
Speaker 3: the tariffs are going to heighten the economy. The initial
Speaker 3: numbers are good for Trump on that the magabase supports
Speaker 3: the deportations, although I have suggested that the homeland security
Speaker 3: opparatus have a fail safe if you will or a mechanism.
Speaker 3: That mechanism is probably better work if you examine humane situations.
Speaker 3: So if you're swept up and you're not a criminal migrant,
Speaker 3: but you're involved with a raid and they take you
Speaker 3: into custody, there should be a mechanism so that your
Speaker 3: situation would be examined by Homeland Security. Say you have
Speaker 3: three kids at home, all of whom are American citizens,
Speaker 3: but you're not. That would be under humane so they
Speaker 3: would let you out and not deport you. If Trump
Speaker 3: would do that, that would take a lot of the
Speaker 3: sting out of it. But you know, look, all I
Speaker 3: can do is suggest patterns of behavior that would be
Speaker 3: beneficial to the country, and I do. Whether he does
Speaker 3: them or not, that's up to him.
Speaker 1: How much does he listen to you these days? Bill O'Reilly?
Speaker 2: I mean listen when we did, you know, when we
Speaker 2: did our town hall on News Nation, Chris Cuomo, myself
Speaker 2: and you. There's no doubt that President Trump would not
Speaker 2: have called in if it were not for you. I've
Speaker 2: reported that on many many occasis. We all know how
Speaker 2: far your relationship goes back with them, spanning thirty plus years,
Speaker 2: and I know that you were just recently in China.
Speaker 2: China asked you to come and see them and talk
Speaker 2: to them, and I'd like you to elaborate and enlighten
Speaker 2: my audience as to why that was.
Speaker 1: But clearly they feel and rightfully.
Speaker 2: So, that you have the ability, more so than most,
Speaker 2: to impact the thought process. Dare I say even the
Speaker 2: actions of the president from Tom to Todd because of
Speaker 2: his respect and this long time relationship with you, how
Speaker 2: much do you think he listens to you or anybody
Speaker 2: else in this day and age.
Speaker 3: Well, I think he trusts me because I'll never burn them,
Speaker 3: so if it's off the record, it's off the record.
Speaker 3: I talked to him frequently. I never call him. That's
Speaker 3: an intrusion. I'm a journalist, that's not my job. But
Speaker 3: when he gets in touch with me, I'm obviously respect
Speaker 3: as I was to Barack Obama, who did that as well.
Speaker 4: Not as much as Trump, but he did. George W.
Speaker 4: Bush did, and I answer honestly so.
Speaker 3: On the China situation, I was invited over there because
Speaker 3: they watch the Politburo watches me on YouTube exactly what
Speaker 3: we're doing now. The Chinese people can't see you too,
Speaker 3: but they knock it out for but they watch and
Speaker 3: as you rightly assess, they know that I speak with
Speaker 3: Donald Trump a lot, so they wanted to know about him.
Speaker 3: And it was an off the record conversation. But I
Speaker 3: did tell the polit Burero there were thirteen of them
Speaker 3: in the Q and A in Beijing, I'm going to
Speaker 3: have to debrief the president when I get back, so
Speaker 3: I'm always up front, I like you.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm up front.
Speaker 3: And they said, okay, you know, I said, I can't
Speaker 3: come over there and do a Q and A with
Speaker 3: you for now hour and forty five minutes and not
Speaker 3: till the President states what it was about. You know,
Speaker 3: come on, I'll be deported myself. They'll deport me back
Speaker 3: to Ireland. So I got to tell him and I did,
Speaker 3: and then three days later there was a phone call
Speaker 3: with she.
Speaker 4: So I could take credit for that, but I'm not
Speaker 4: going to.
Speaker 3: But I think that my conversation with the Chinese communists
Speaker 3: was beneficial. So I calmed them down in certain areas
Speaker 3: and I illuminated the President's thinking process and others. So
Speaker 3: after the hour forty five minutes, they had a much
Speaker 3: better understanding of where Donald Trump is coming from. The
Speaker 3: second thing is We had dinner afterward, my son, myself,
Speaker 3: the man who put this together in Beijing, the richest
Speaker 3: man in China, and his assistant who was only supposed
Speaker 3: to be four, but we were joined by the second
Speaker 3: most powerful man in the country for dinner, which was experience.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you why my son's sitting there. He is
Speaker 3: twenty one years old, and he's listening to the highest
Speaker 3: level of diplomacy there could possibly be in the biggest
Speaker 3: story in the world. China USA relations is the biggest
Speaker 3: story in the world by far, because if that doesn't
Speaker 3: work out, there's gonna be best trouble. If it does
Speaker 3: work out, if they follow my guidelines to a partnership
Speaker 3: for peace and prosperity, that's why I went over there
Speaker 3: to tell them what that was about. Then the world
Speaker 3: will calm down and everyone will be better off. So
Speaker 3: there's my son, twenty one political science major, listening to his.
Speaker 4: Father at thirteen of the poly member. You can imagine
Speaker 4: that it's like being in a Nick.
Speaker 3: Locker room and halftime, I guess. But anyway, look, I
Speaker 3: love my country. I try to do it's best as
Speaker 3: far as I see it, and I will. I was
Speaker 3: stunned by this whole thing. I didn't solicit this. It
Speaker 3: came to me.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I know you're telling the truth about that.
Speaker 2: I consider you an honest broker, regardless of how people
Speaker 2: try to attack you or whatever.
Speaker 1: You've always been a trade shoot with me.
Speaker 2: I've seen you talking to politicians on both sides of
Speaker 2: the right in front of my face, getting on both
Speaker 2: of them like hell and fury for crowd out loud.
Speaker 2: So I've had an eyewitness account to that. But let
Speaker 2: me get back to you before I get back to
Speaker 2: the States. You said that when you were in China,
Speaker 2: you talked about your guidelines to peace and prosperity between
Speaker 2: themselves and the United States of America. Would you mind
Speaker 2: sharing with this audience what those guidelines were, some of
Speaker 2: those guidelines.
Speaker 4: That you go down to them.
Speaker 3: So the past six months have been working on a
Speaker 3: policy call the Partnership for Peace and Prosperity between the
Speaker 3: United States of America and China. And essentially what it
Speaker 3: says is that the two greatest powers in the world
Speaker 3: are going to ally together to down chaos and misbehavior
Speaker 3: all over the world.
Speaker 4: So you're going to ally.
Speaker 3: Now, we're never going to agree with them about communism,
Speaker 3: and it's a police state. It's the most polic sophisticated
Speaker 3: police state in the history of mankind. It makes the
Speaker 3: Nazi regime look like benevolent people. That's how tight the
Speaker 3: Chinese communists are on their one point five billion people.
Speaker 3: Americans have no idea. You got to carry an ID
Speaker 3: card every second of your life in China. If you don't,
Speaker 3: you're in prison if somebody stops you, and there are
Speaker 3: cops on every corner. And as for your idea, you're
Speaker 3: a Chinese citizen and you don't have it gone, it
Speaker 3: is really unbelievable. So anyway, the Peace and Partnership Prosperity
Speaker 3: thing says that we're going to work it out. As
Speaker 3: far as trade will help China feed their one point
Speaker 3: five billion, they'll help us in our economy, and then
Speaker 3: we will hamp down crazy stuff like the Malas in Iran.
Speaker 3: So if China and the United States ally against the Maulas,
Speaker 3: they can't do anything.
Speaker 4: Same thing with Putin. If China were to.
Speaker 3: Say, hey, lad get out of there, or we're going
Speaker 3: to start.
Speaker 4: To fund the Ukrainian government as well, a lot of
Speaker 4: that to get out of there.
Speaker 3: Now, it's a matter of self interest, I understand, but
Speaker 3: I laid out a pretty solid case, and I said,
Speaker 3: if that partnership comes, you're going to get a lot
Speaker 3: of benefit.
Speaker 4: The Chinese government will get a.
Speaker 3: Lot of economic benefit from it. So I'm hoping they
Speaker 3: consider it.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to get back to the States
Speaker 2: because even though I know China and US relations is
Speaker 2: a huge, huge deal, no question about that, some of
Speaker 2: the immediate issues going on in this country obviously can't
Speaker 2: be ignored at this particular moment in time. You saw,
Speaker 2: and you've saw that, You've been all over the news
Speaker 2: about the political shooting that took place this weekend. Fance
Speaker 2: Bolter was arrested as the suspected shooter of former Democratic
Speaker 2: House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband. He also critically
Speaker 2: wounded Senator John Hoffman and his wife, both out of Minnesota.
Speaker 2: Of course, he was captured late Sunday following a two
Speaker 2: day man hunt. Following the killing, Republican Utah Senator Mike
Speaker 2: Lee tweeted, quote, this is what happens when Marxists don't get.
Speaker 1: Their way end quote. So Bill O.
Speaker 2: Raley, I ask you concerned at all that civility in
Speaker 2: America is going You've been around a long time, you
Speaker 2: would know they answer to that question your thoughts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you keep saying I've been around a long time.
Speaker 3: It only goes back to us. Grant there, Steven A. So,
Speaker 3: come on, foolish comment by Senator Lee, who's not a
Speaker 3: He's not a dumbin, and he never should have made
Speaker 3: that comment. I've had political assassinations in this country forever,
Speaker 3: and so is every other country.
Speaker 4: And these are mentally unstable people that do it, all
Speaker 4: of them. You can trace.
Speaker 3: Every one of them back, and they're all loans and
Speaker 3: that's what happened here. So to assign a Marxism to
Speaker 3: it or a fascism to it, it's irresponsible. I don't
Speaker 3: traffic in that. I traffic in history. Never going to
Speaker 3: stop it. It's impossible in a free society. Even in China,
Speaker 3: as crazy as they control those people, you couldn't stop it.
Speaker 3: If somebody wanted to kill you and was stalking you,
Speaker 3: the odds are they'd be able to get to you
Speaker 3: if you weren't putin or she would have unbelievable security.
Speaker 3: So there's nothing other than lamenting the situation. There's no
Speaker 3: solution to the situation. You're always going to have mentally
Speaker 3: unstable people who are violent, and that's that. And you know,
Speaker 3: if I had a solution, I would put it forth,
Speaker 3: but I don't.
Speaker 2: Does it the rhetoric amongst politicians going back and forth,
Speaker 2: Although you're right, history has shown us these kind of
Speaker 2: things happen. There's always folks on the fringes, there's always
Speaker 2: extremism that takes place within every nation. This is not
Speaker 2: going to be any different, doesn't some of the rhetoric
Speaker 2: on a part of politicians or both sides of the isle.
Speaker 2: One could easily argue that contributes to some of this Bill.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: John James Garfield was assassinated, and he was he's a
Speaker 3: bomb thrower, you know, McKinley assassinated. In our polarized society
Speaker 3: with an irresponsible media, grossly irresponsible media, it's easier to incite,
Speaker 3: but I don't think it's easier to incite to murder,
Speaker 3: right homicide. And with this, I wrote a book and
Speaker 3: it'll be out September ninth, called Confronting Evil Homicide.
Speaker 4: Have been with it since Cain and Abel in the Bible.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just their part of mankind.
Speaker 4: So I don't attribute.
Speaker 3: I don't say, look, if we're all nicer to each other,
Speaker 3: or do we have less violence? I don't believe that
Speaker 3: to be true.
Speaker 2: So with that being said, I mean, I guess I'm
Speaker 2: looking at it and I'm seeing these No King protests.
Speaker 2: Do you think that that's legitimate? Is it much ado
Speaker 2: about nothing? Are the folks on the left just using
Speaker 2: this as an opportunity to play soil loser because they
Speaker 2: lost the election to Trump and that's what this is about.
Speaker 2: Or do you think the arguments on a part of
Speaker 2: the left with the no Kings protest and beyond, do
Speaker 2: you think there's some legitimacy to that based on what
Speaker 2: we've seen from the Trump administration since he's been back
Speaker 2: in North January twenty.
Speaker 3: First, I think the protests are legitimate, and I applaud
Speaker 3: honest Americans who want to protest things they don't like.
Speaker 3: I think descent is a very important part of our
Speaker 3: success in America. But I always go to this, all right,
Speaker 3: So you don't like the ice rays because that's what
Speaker 3: this was really all about.
Speaker 4: There's no Kings thing, So what's Plan B? You down
Speaker 4: with the buy and open border? You support that? So
Speaker 4: what do you have.
Speaker 3: What's your plan to supervise fourteen million foreign nationals, ten
Speaker 3: percent of whom are violent? Because ten percent of every
Speaker 3: group is violent, So what's your plan to supervise these people?
Speaker 4: Then you get you know, it's okay.
Speaker 3: To protest, but you've got to have something to fill
Speaker 3: the vacuum if you want to be taken seriously.
Speaker 2: Right, But aren't you concerned when he talks about immigrants
Speaker 2: or migrants and you hear murderers, rapists and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: as if giving the impression that that's who he's targeting.
Speaker 2: When news came out just the other day that he
Speaker 2: pulled he pulled he put a pause on raids involving
Speaker 2: the agriculture, UH, hotels, restaurants, et cetera, because obviously it
Speaker 2: was affecting those businesses. Don't you get concerned about him
Speaker 2: or the administration putting out that kind of rhetoric, sort
Speaker 2: of castigating folks in that fashion.
Speaker 3: Well, look, you can, you can overdo the rhetoric, but
Speaker 3: he got elected on it.
Speaker 4: So you know, people were.
Speaker 3: Tired of seeing innocent UH Americans murdered by venezue Ellans
Speaker 3: and El Salvadorans and whatever. So Trump said, I'm going
Speaker 3: to clean it up, and that's why I won. That's
Speaker 3: exactly why he won. So now he's trying to clean
Speaker 3: it up. But as I said, he should have a
Speaker 3: you know, an apparatus to exactly people who aren't in
Speaker 3: that category, who get swept up in it.
Speaker 4: So, look, I want social order in this country, and
Speaker 4: I assure you do too.
Speaker 1: You can't have, yes, I do.
Speaker 3: You can't have fourteen million foreign nationals run around unsupervised.
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what the Democrats supported, Exactly. We don't
Speaker 3: want to stop anybody. We don't want to supervise them.
Speaker 3: Anybody asked for asylum. Oh yeah, five years. We'll see
Speaker 3: you down the road. Maybe you show up, maybe you don't,
Speaker 3: but we don't really care whether you do or not. Hey,
Speaker 3: that's the height of irresponsibility. We're paying for that for
Speaker 3: the next twenty years. And I mean that Biden open
Speaker 3: border was the worst policy decision in history by a
Speaker 3: sitting president, the worst because it caused so much damage.
Speaker 2: Why do you think Boben made that decision? And the
Speaker 2: reason I asked that question, Bill O. Raley, It might
Speaker 2: be a rhetorical question, might be a bit old. I'm
Speaker 2: thinking about how President Obama was called the deporter in
Speaker 2: chief because he had deported at the time even more
Speaker 2: people than Trump had deported. Biden was his vice president.
Speaker 2: How do you ultimately become the president four years after
Speaker 2: Obama has left office and you implement a policy that
Speaker 2: was the complete, completely antithetical to anything that Obama stood for.
Speaker 1: That made no sense to me. Do you have an
Speaker 1: answer to that question.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 3: I don't think Biden was in control of his faculties
Speaker 3: ever in his four years. I think he was diminished
Speaker 3: when he walked in he took the inaugural oath. I
Speaker 3: think his far left cadre who surrounded him in the
Speaker 3: White House, led by Ron Klaine, put a bunch of
Speaker 3: paper in front of him and he signed it and
Speaker 3: didn't know what he was doing or the unintended consequences
Speaker 3: that would stem from it. Look, I'll give you a
Speaker 3: really vivid example of Joe Biden. This man, for his
Speaker 3: entire career used his Catholicism as a campaign item. You
Speaker 3: remember that, right, Yes, Joe goes to mask, Joe receives communion.
Speaker 3: Joe's a good Catholic, Irish Catholic from Scranton, Okay.
Speaker 4: While his president, he comes out.
Speaker 3: To support abortion without any limits what so ever? No
Speaker 3: limits the Hillary Clinton position, okay, the most extreme position
Speaker 3: on abortion you could take. Joe Biden takes it and
Speaker 3: promotes it. A good Catholic is excommunicated by doing that. However,
Speaker 3: there wasn't one on Catholic bishop or the pope okay,
Speaker 3: who suggested the excommunication route for Biden because they were
Speaker 3: afraid to do it. One bishop in Virginia denied him communion.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: Now, how can a man who professes to be an
Speaker 3: Irish Catholic promote unlimited abortion?
Speaker 4: Do you have an answer to that question?
Speaker 2: I have no answer to That question is inexcusable because
Speaker 2: it goes against that.
Speaker 1: Everytholic I know would say.
Speaker 3: That that's the key to analyzing Biden right there. No
Speaker 3: one can answer the question because there's no logic, okay,
Speaker 3: because he wasn't able mentally to make those kinds of calculations,
Speaker 3: in my opinion, and you will see coming forth proof
Speaker 3: of how.
Speaker 4: Diminish that man was from day one.
Speaker 2: See that's the argument that folks on the right would
Speaker 2: say as well.
Speaker 1: And I get that part.
Speaker 2: And then when we look at the left protesting Trump,
Speaker 2: in this day and age to the right, it will
Speaker 2: fall on death is because everybody's quick to look at
Speaker 2: the body and administration, the policies they put forth, how
Speaker 2: it was supported, whether directly or through one silence on
Speaker 2: the left, and.
Speaker 1: As a result, they tried to.
Speaker 2: Basically finego their way through the administration, you know, through
Speaker 2: his tenure and ultimately assist Kamala Harrison taking office. And
Speaker 2: so when I see these no Kings protests and everybody
Speaker 2: complaining about Trump, that's one way that it's going to
Speaker 2: be dismissed from the right, but where it will be
Speaker 2: embraced by centrists and folks on the left. Bill Rally,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, is that I'm thinking about Iran. With Israel,
Speaker 2: you have people thinking about that, Yeah, we can end
Speaker 2: their new program and as a result, they won't be
Speaker 2: a nuclear threat and we don't have to worry about
Speaker 2: the Holocaust down the line at least on that end. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's what that's Plus they're talking about the terroriffs. They're saying,
Speaker 2: you got pledges, but where's the real production. What has
Speaker 2: really really happened with that regard? You talked about the
Speaker 2: war with Ukraine and Russia, that hasn't been resolved. There's
Speaker 2: still hostages with a mass and folks are alluding to
Speaker 2: genocide taking place in a Godza stripped because of net
Speaker 2: and Yahoo and some of the actions that he has
Speaker 2: taken to just completely obliterate a mosque has beligned everybody
Speaker 2: else in between. In the end, what it comes down
Speaker 2: to to me, Bill, is this, there's so much stuff
Speaker 2: going on with the Trump administration that's up in the air.
Speaker 2: The one finite thing you can point to is his
Speaker 2: position on immigration and the effect it has had. And
Speaker 2: to me, that seems to be his calling card. Let
Speaker 2: everybody lean towards that because that's a winnable argument in
Speaker 2: his eyes, where almost nothing else is to that kind
Speaker 2: of speculation or skepticism. You say, what as it pertains
Speaker 2: to the Trump administration.
Speaker 3: My thing that announces is a bit harsh. So number one,
Speaker 3: the tariffs and the economy. You've got to give it
Speaker 3: a little more time. So next week will be six
Speaker 3: months that Trump's been in office. It seems like six years,
Speaker 3: I know, but it's only six months. And to turn
Speaker 3: the entire industrial economy around in his country kind of
Speaker 3: take a year or so.
Speaker 4: But it's trending in the right direction.
Speaker 3: Particularly if Trump and she can come to an economic deal,
Speaker 3: then all the other deals will follow, and Donald Trump
Speaker 3: knows that.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: On the guaz afront, Trump has been a dove on that.
Speaker 3: He has done everything he can to try to get
Speaker 3: Hamas to release the hostages and take the pressure off
Speaker 3: so the Israeli army doesn't go in and continue to
Speaker 3: pound the place. But the Hamas people will not do it,
Speaker 3: so you can't blame Trump for that. On Ukraine, he
Speaker 3: has given Putin every opportunity to be a human being. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: Putin is psychotic. Putin is on the cover of my
Speaker 3: upcoming book, Confronting the Confronting Evil. Okay, he is not
Speaker 3: a person that you can deal with rationally. Trump thought
Speaker 3: he was because he had four years of Putin not
Speaker 3: really misbehaving in his first term. But now, for whatever reason,
Speaker 3: Putin's out of control.
Speaker 4: Can you get him back under control?
Speaker 3: Maybe, particularly if China would help, But right now that's
Speaker 3: a miscalculation. So I think that people who hate Trump,
Speaker 3: who say he's failing on every front aren't being fair,
Speaker 3: need to let this unfold for a few more months.
Speaker 3: In March of twenty six, if the economy is wobbling,
Speaker 3: and there's unrestled over the world. The Republicans are done
Speaker 3: in the midterms.
Speaker 1: They will lose.
Speaker 4: Trump knows that last couple of questions.
Speaker 2: I'll let you get on out of here, and thank
Speaker 2: you so much for your time, real quick. Over the
Speaker 2: course of his presidency, President Trump released cryptocurrency gold sneakers
Speaker 2: and watchers, and now he's reportedly releasing the T one
Speaker 2: Trump smartphone with an unlimited plan price at forty seven
Speaker 2: dollars and forty five cents per month via AT and
Speaker 2: T Verizon, a T mobile in August that's being built
Speaker 2: in the United States. First of all, Bill O'Reilly? I mean,
Speaker 2: what do you think about this? And secondly, are you
Speaker 2: getting one of these phones? I mean, or do you
Speaker 2: have a problem with the president monetizing the office?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm getting three of these phones, giving one to
Speaker 3: you for Christmas, one to Cuomo for Christmas.
Speaker 4: And look, do I approve of this?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: Do I understand what's going on? Yes?
Speaker 3: So Jump doesn't have anything to do with the Trump
Speaker 3: organizations run by his two sons, Don Junior and Eric.
Speaker 3: They are exploiting the hell of their father's success for
Speaker 3: monetary gain. Now, all presidents do it to a certain extent.
Speaker 3: The Biden family did it with subterfuge. Remember that we
Speaker 3: didn't know what was going on, and farign countries are involved.
Speaker 3: This is basically, hey, we're famous, my father's powerful, so
Speaker 3: you buy our phone.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: Trumpet doesn't have anything to do with that because he
Speaker 3: had to sign off for all his holdings to his son.
Speaker 3: I'm sure when he gets out of office he'll be back.
Speaker 3: But there's a private club in DC and it goes on.
Speaker 4: And on and on.
Speaker 3: But every single president, with the exception of Jimmy Carter
Speaker 3: and Ronald Reagan, wasn't too much because when Reagan left
Speaker 3: office he was in their throes of dementia. But every
Speaker 3: single other president capitalized monetarily on their position. Yeah, might
Speaker 3: Barack Obama gets for a speech, do you know how much? No,
Speaker 3: three hundred and fifty thousand, three five. He gets more
Speaker 3: than you get for a speech, David Ay. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'd be outrageo if I were you. But he gets
Speaker 3: more than you get. So that doesn't bother me in
Speaker 3: the sense that And I'm not a bad behavior point
Speaker 3: to other bad behavior kind of guy.
Speaker 4: But this is our system.
Speaker 3: We're capitalists here and the Trump people are exploiting their game.
Speaker 1: Last question.
Speaker 2: You know, Donald Trump is unapologetic about playing to his base.
Speaker 1: People will be quick to say he's doing what he
Speaker 1: promised he would do, et cetera.
Speaker 2: Do you think that's gonna be enough for the GOP
Speaker 2: to win the midterms? And do you think that's enough
Speaker 2: for the GOP to win the election in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: eight if he continues on the path that he is
Speaker 2: going on or does there need to be some alterations in.
Speaker 1: As far as you can see.
Speaker 3: Well, if you base it on history, which I always do,
Speaker 3: the economy will tell who's gonna win the midterms. So,
Speaker 3: as I said, the economy is rolling along next spring,
Speaker 3: Republicans will do very well because that it's everything to
Speaker 3: the American people. They are nervous, Lots of them don't
Speaker 3: have any money. They need the economy to be robust
Speaker 3: and will that far and away. You know, I say
Speaker 3: China USA is the biggest story in the world than
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 4: But for our electoral.
Speaker 3: Situation, the economy dominates. So Trump is a dice roller,
Speaker 3: doesn't play it safe. He's going he wants to be
Speaker 3: one of the greatest presidents he wants to be on
Speaker 3: Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 4: He can't be on Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 3: To buy his own mountain and put his face up there.
Speaker 3: But he wants to be one of the greatest. And
Speaker 3: he always because I wrote Confronting the Presidents, he's always there.
Speaker 4: Where am I now? Where am I now?
Speaker 1: I go?
Speaker 3: It's still incomplete, mister president. You had a good first term,
Speaker 3: and he did, but now a lot of turbulence. He goes, Guy,
Speaker 3: it's gonna work out, and he believes it will work
Speaker 3: out pervently.
Speaker 4: He believes it. There's no insecurity on his part.
Speaker 3: Okay, whether it will or not, of course, no one knows,
Speaker 3: but God.
Speaker 2: The one and only Bill O'Reilly appreciates you, my man,
Speaker 2: as always.
