Bill O'ReillyGUEST
Yeah, I think m- most Americans don't understand the dynamic, and probably won't, uh, until, um, maybe next year.
Leland VittertHOST
And if it's a referendum on how crazy the Democrats are, which is what you're saying, then Trump and the Republicans win 'cause everybody sucks.
Sean HannityHOST
Did, did we get it wrong? Do I need to go back and take more theology classes, Latin classes, go to mass more often? What do I need to do? Because Talarico thinks that God is non-binary.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
But I'm glad you brought it up because I made a point yesterday and I, um, expanded upon it today.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
As you know, I have a book coming out, uh, next week called Confronting America: What Has to Change.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
And I'm trying to explain to voters who would show up in November, you're not voting for a guy.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
I don't think banning him does anybody any good, particularly in the spirit of the day.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
And I remember vividly, uh, because I was reporting it, um, about 20 people in my neighborhood, in my town were killed.

Bill O'ReillyGUEST
Well, the reason, because obviously I asked them, was that I placed blame on the individual American for things that are going wrong, which I do.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
I mean, every problem... is caused by an individual or individuals, human beings.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
AI isn't causing the problem, okay? It's folks that are causing the problems, and they won't fix them or they're, you know, making them worse or whatever it may be.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
And I said to them, I said, look, if you read the thing, and there's not a lot of ideology in this book.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST

Leland VittertHOST
Is our job as journalists to report on the bleep show that both political parties have become, or is it to act as advocates for the American people and point out that neither party is either solving our problems or talking about real solutions to our problems?
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
OK, before I answer that, I just want to say that both of you guys should feel very sorry for me.

Bill O'ReillyGUEST
Well, if I'm, uh, President Trump, I'd bring a chart wherever I go pointing out that the economy is strong historically speaking.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
The problem you have is that you have a two-tiered, uh, situation in America.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
You have people who are successful and know how to handle their money, invest their money.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
And then you have a whole bunch of people, maybe half the country, that just waste their money and doesn't really, don't, they don't understand what economics are.

speaker_7UNKNOWN
Well, hire
9:53
yeah it has has to have to stop by the way before we let you go baron trump i mean this is frightening let's talk about that because of course we know that when it's iranian broadcaster putting out some sickening video about him with a bounty on his head this is frightening
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
Um, no. You're looking at it from a macro point of view, which is very complicated, uh, rather than a micro, which is not.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
And that's a big problem for the Trump administration and the Republican Party.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
If you think back and y- and you say if Donald Trump had not, um, decided to go in and confront Iran in, uh, February, late February, um, he would be, the odds are that the Republican Party would be well ahead in the midterms.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
Yeah, I mean, there's a lot in there, and I'm glad I was able to get it down before, you know, whatever happens is going to happen.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
But we do need to get better as a country, and it distresses me to see how much angst and hatred and suspicion and all of that.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
So this guy also in, uh, run of a Senate in Georgia, he attacks, um, Trump and you would expect him to do that.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
So you mobilize a, a, a very small group of people to come out and vote for a candidate.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
Now, The Wall Street Journal has a fair headline on it, and a fair analysis, but The New York Times doesn't.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
And the other thing that, uh, that the Republicans are gonna have to overcome is the media.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
Well, you have a, a fluid situation in America and around the world where, um, pretty much anything can happen.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
Um, so tomorrow, if, uh, the Iranians decide that they can't continue with their economy collapsing, maybe they make a deal, I don't know.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
Um, unless you're sitting there in the Pentagon with classified information in front of you, um, you simply have no idea how that Iran thing is gonna play out.
Pete MundoHOST
If you were advising him on the PR strategy of this entire war right now, what would you tell him to be saying? Because you're right, it kinda feels like a broken record at this point.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
Go out and do and say." And you can get people like that, and, um, I understand, um, what the game is now.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
But, um, a younger person is much more likely to do that than a veteran like Jennings.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
He, he, uh, isolates his audience, the MAGA people, and he plays to that audience.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
They didn't want anybody, okay? It was my way, highway, go out and do and say.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
And you can get people like that, and, um, I understand, um, what the game is now.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
But, um, a younger person is much more likely to do that than a veteran like Jennings.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
He, he, uh, isolates his audience, the MAGA people, and he plays to that audience.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
But he likes people who are a little bit younger than Jennings, a little more, let's see, what word I want to use, you can mold them a little bit.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
And the far left believes that If a person's addicted to drugs and needs to steal things to support the habit, that's okay.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
So if you read the article down further and the research down further, there's an industry.
Bill O'ReillyGUEST
So you steal your toothpaste or your whatever products you need, and then you go out and you sell it to a fence, and then the fence sells it again on the street.
