Bill O'Reilly, very recently, maybe his most recent, we'll do it live podcast, had Ben Shapiro. Bill's killing it, folks. He was the best or still is the best. He'll always be the best, whether it's Thursdays right here with me, Mondays, with Katzen Cosby, his morning message about 7.30 every weekday morning. His own amazing website, no spin, Bill O'Reilly.com, great interviews, great columns, great television, killing series, 13 or 14 in, right? Great book on the presidents, Confronting Evil. Has a new book coming out this September around Danielle's birthday. Very excited about that. All the work he does on News Nation every weekend, of course, this amazing new podcast. He did a message this morning. He said with... September, October, and November, being really busy and rough, and he's right about that, the midterms coming up, maybe it'll be a good idea to take some time off in August. Hey, Bill, how about taking your own advice? It takes me 10 minutes to read your intro every Thursday morning. Well, this is AI. I'm not really here. No, I'm going camping with ma'am Donnie. Oh, nice. Nice. Yeah, we're going to the air, Adirondacks, Saranac Lake. Yeah. Right. One of us may not come back. That's the big woods up there. It is big. He is going there. You can get lost in that woods. Yes, you can. As you can. So, Zohran Mamdani and I, we're going. I like that. I hope he's not going to talk. That was the only thing. I said, I'll go with you. But don't talk. You can't talk. He really is going up there. You know, he really is going up there, right? He really is. Of course I know. What do you think are you talking to here? Oh, you know, he's going. He's actually going there. Yeah, I know, but I know you know that, but folks out there may be thinking you just made up this, you know, elaborate vacation with the mayor, but he's actually going there, this so creep. He's going there. And I remember a movie called Lake Placid, which is also upstate.
where there were giant gators in the water. I remember that, too. I do. Yeah, remember that? I did see that movie. Yes, I saw it more than much. I don't know how the gators actually got up. I think they ran in a car or might have been Uber. They drove them out of Florida and they dumped them in like Placer. But I don't want anything bad to happen to the mayor. But I am looking forward to our camping expedition. Well, I guess you are because, you know, you don't say horrible things about them, but I will say this, watching you, listening to you, even reading your Twitter account. You have been talking an awful lot lately, and if I'm wrong, correct me, an awful lot lately about the dangers of communism. And as far as I know, you, me, President Trump, we've all called, among other things, we've all called this mayor a communist. So you are, I'm not going to say afraid, but certainly concerned about the direction in which our country is going. Well, man, I mean, he is a communist. And when I go on television and radio and I'm talking to a progressive, they go, no, no, no, he's a democratic socialist. And I look at them and I said, number one, there isn't any such thing as a democratic socialist. There's no party. It has not run a country. What are you talking about? And number two, Zohran Mamdani wants to control the means of production. And then I stop. I stop. I don't say anything more because the person interviewing me inevitably doesn't know what I just said. They don't know what communism is. And so when they're looking at me, means of production, and I'm looking at the person, once in a while I'll explain to them what it is that the government controls everything that we do. That's communism. That's Soviet Union. That's Cuba. That's China. That's Vietnam. That's what the government does, and that's who Randani is. So he wants to tell you you can't have a second apartment in New York City, or you have to go with a pile of dough and bribe them to have a second apartment. No. If you want to have 18 apartments in America, you can have 18 apartments. Zohran Mamdani is no right to go in and demand money from you. That's ridiculous. That's totalitarianism. Then he wants to bring in food. Well, why do you think he wants to run any food? He wants to run the bodegas and anybody else that he doesn't have control of out of business.
So I'm going to charge 30% less, says Zohran Mamdani, for food staples. Number one, that's never going to happen because the unions will get involved and, you know, everybody's going to get involved. He'll never get it, okay? But he wants to control what you eat, where you live. Are you not getting this? And I mean, sometimes I don't want to be super silliest, particularly on sit-in friends. Word is a day. Super silly is. Love it. But come on. You've got to open your eyes and you've got to figure it out if you want. to be a loyal American citizen. Bottom line. So you live in the safest county anywhere in America, and early this morning, about 7 a.m. I had your police commissioner on. I love the guy. Pat Ryder, and as you and I are speaking, him and Fintin and all these Secret Service guys are getting ready to welcome President Trump to your county tomorrow. I'll be there with Bruce Blakeman and a ton of other folks, Kash Patel, Todd Blanche, and all your Long Island politicians. So... We talked about ICE because Kathy Hochul came out yesterday, and she said, the guy that's running against me, this Bruce Blakeman, if he thinks he's going to continue to deal with ICE on a friendly basis, even though, even though Nassau County has deported murderers, rapists, drug dealers, kept that county very safe, she doesn't care. She said, I make the law, I'm the governor, and Bruce Blakeman, he's going to abide by that law. Bottom line. I said to writer, I guess I don't have much of a choice. He said, no, August 25th is the date that the new rules go into effect, and we're not going to break the law. We're going to abide by the law. But the truth is, the governor is bending over backwards, Bill O'Reilly, to make your county less safe. Well, sure, because that's her constituency. Where is the president? Where is the soire tomorrow? Now, this I don't know, and I should know, because I've been preoccupied with booking the tent for Mamdama. So where is this gathering? This is tomorrow afternoon. He's supposed to arrive about three, Trump, and it's going to be at the New Police Academy. They're in Nassau County. That's correct, yes. That means he'll roll in about 7 o'clock at night. Well, you know, you know, it's funny you say that because he's got a big event tomorrow. I'm actually going with him, Bruce Blakeman, in the motorcade, in the Hamptons with Steve Witkoff, and the president is aware of that. So we can't come too late because at some point we have to move our way from Mineola to Southampton tomorrow night. And that'll be delightful ride. That should take you about eight and a half hours. I know. I know. And you want to know about migrants? All you got to do is stand on Sunrise Highway. Hey! I know they're loaded there. They are loaded there. No, it's Venezuela. I know. My God. It's because all of the service industry...
in the wealthy Hampton enclaves are staffed by immigrants. Now, that could be a good or bad thing. The good is if the immigrant went through the legal process to work. I hire immigrants who have green cars, and they work very, very hard, very hard. And I want them to prosper. The bad news is if Jose pulls up and amigants it in a canoe, that might not be good. No, it would be good, no, no. Because we don't know anything about Jose other than he's bringing a machete. Right. And that's okay. And by the way, that's okay with Kathy Hochul. That's okay with Kathy Hochul. Of course it's okay with Kathy Hochul. Yeah. Who do you think is going to vote for Kathy Hochul? No, she's going to have to get every progressive out there to vote for her, and she's going to do it. But here's something that very few people know. When ICE goes in and makes, detains people. They are looking for hardcore criminals. This is a very strong resume enhancer if you are working for ICE, that you find somebody who has committed violent crimes in the United States. But most of the people that are taken into custody have what they call deportation orders. They have been signed by federal judges. Their cases have already been adjudicated, and the judges have ruled that they don't have a right to stay here. That's who ICE is taking in. Yes, they might be working in the hotels or cutting your lawn or doing something like that. Yes, they might be great people, but they have an order of deportation. They broke the law. You never hear that. Right, they broke the law, Bill. They broke the law. Right. But not only did they break the law, they went through the process, our justice process. They had their hearing. They made their case. And a judge said, no. And Hulkel will never tell you this, nor will any of the news services. This is the majority of who ICE is picking up. And you're looking at this, as I am anyway. Number one, Governor Hogle doesn't care. She has never said a word about open borders, ever. Go trace it. Doesn't care. Never praised ICE for arresting thousands of violent criminals who shouldn't be here. Never. And so I'm saying to myself, why would you vote for this woman? Even if you don't like Bruce Blakeman, and how can you not like Bruce with the hair? No, he's so handsome. I know he's handsome. I know, I know. But he's friends with Trump. That's the problem.
Well, I know. I'm being for sure. I know you are about that. But on a serious note, when you go, how could you not like Bruce? Even if Bruce saved 150,000 cancer patients. Fact is, he's friends with Trump. So he must be evil. No, right. I mean, we're getting now down to the basic emotional craziness without any facts to back anything up. Right. So what you have here is... But there is a shift going on, and we saw it in Wisconsin. Have you ever been in Wisconsin? I was just there for the RNC, the day of the day the president shot. Trump got shot in Pennsylvania. I arrived that day in Milwaukee. Okay. We're not talking about a state, Wisconsin. Yeah. is action-packed. Okay, we're not talking about. In fact, the only people that are moving to Wisconsin are badgers. A lot of badgers are going in. They all call to Wisconsin. They're Canadian, so I assume I still be chasing the badgers around, see if they have credentials. Anyway, even... the Wisconsin people. All they want to do is eat their cheese. That's it. And root for the Packers. That's it. That's all. Yep. Okay? And I'm not demeaning the state. It's quiet up there. They took this communist who was running for the governorship, hung. And they said no. Nope. Okay, and thank God because I didn't want to lose Thanksgiving. Well, she went back on that, though. She said now it's her favorite holiday right before the election. But that's the con. I know. That's a con. Every time I'm on TV with the opposition, the progressive era, oh, no, no, he changed his mind. Yeah. Okay. You know who's done that? You know who's done that the last couple of days? I've got videos, which I play the audio on this show, like five different times from Zohran Mamdani has said, I want it deep on the police. And he comes out two days ago and says, I change my mind. I no longer feel that way. You kidding? I don't want to do it now because I want my wife to have 15 state troopers surrounding her when she goes to Sicily. In Lebanon, forget about Sicily. Lebanon and Syria, even worse. Oh, she'll be there for two hours each, and she'll be in a little hotel and sizzily. Trust me on this. I know what this junk and circle is. She's not staying in Syria. I'm sorry. I'm with you. I'm with you. But anyway, you're right about these socialists, and thank God that she did lose. I got about two minutes to go. So, you know, Trump, for people who try to claim that Trump has lost his magic, I mean. What is that based on? Everybody he endorses 90%. This is a true stat. 90% of the politicians he's endorsed over the last couple of months win. And then the losers who stab them in the back, whether it's Thomas Massie in Kentucky or Bill Cassidy in Louisiana, they get killed. Now, the anti-Semites say, talk about Israel and Ails, nonsense. You back Trump, you win.
You go against him, you lose. He still has a tremendous, tremendous amount of power inside the Republican Party. So that's why, with the midday's 82 days away, I'm not counting Republicans out just yet. Or should I? A lot of things are going to change. That's what I tell everybody. You can't make a prediction. You got to wrap the Iran thing up. You know, he just can't keep going on with that. But the Republican Party has no leadership other than President Trump. He is the leader of the party. And there is nobody else. I mean, Johnson's okay. He's Speaker of the House. Nobody knows who he is. I mean, Johnson could walk into the WABC studios and Katz and Matiti's, we go, are my shirt's ready yet? Nobody knows him. It's true. I know. Right. And I mean, Foon. He's in South Dakota. I think these guys are all right, but they're not leaders. No. They're not getting, somebody's going to drive people to polls. Now, Trump is going to have to carry that whole campaign into November. Yeah. I don't know how the man physically does it. I don't know how he does it. It is pretty remarkable. I mean, working constantly, I'm kind of worried about him. Yeah. I'll just tell you as a friend of his. I mean, but he's going to have to do it. There's nobody else to do it on the Republican side. Nobody. You mentioned JD Vance. Nobody knows JD Vance's real feelings about policy because he has to go with Trump. Has to. So there's a whole bunch of swirl, but I'll tell you what, if you are a conservative Republican. You love what happened to Hong in Wisconsin. Yeah, you do love that. That was huge. Big, very big for us. I agree. I mean, they did win. Very, very big. They did win. Folks want Thanksgiving. Yes, we do. They want it. They did win one race in Minnesota, which was a little upsetting, but you're right, Hong was big. Just let you know, Bill, our mutual friend on Long Island, Colleen Smith said the police headquarters is in Mineola, but tomorrow's event, the police academy is in Gordon City. Okay. I'm going to ride my bike over. That's very close. I know you're close. I know you are. Now, I can't go to these things because I have to cover everybody. And I can't go to a rally. I can give advice if somebody asked me, but I can't go out there with a flag because that's not my job. It's not my role. You know, we just got off.
Two minutes talking about the Republican Party. I have to be honest in my assessments of everybody who was power. But I will tell you, because I do live here, that Nassau County is extremely well run. Bruce Pikeman, folks, he's in charge. It's all you need to know. Bill O'Reilly, as always, not good. Amazing. What a great segment. I wish you were coming tomorrow, but at any rate, enjoy your weekend on the shore. I love you. We'll do it again next week. Thank you so much. Thank you, Sam. He said.
