Speaker 2 (00:05):
This is the seventy seven WABC mini.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Cast Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Very recently, maybe his most recent We'll Do It Live
podcast had been Shapiro Bill's Killing the Folks. He was
the best, who still is the best. He'll always be
the best, whether.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's Thursdays right here with me, Mondays.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
With Catching Cosby, his morning message about seven point thirty
every weekday morning, his own amazing website, no spin, Bill
O'Reilly dot com. Great interviews, great columns, great television killing
series thirteen or fourteen in right, great book on the
President's Confronting Evil. Has a new book coming out this
September around Danielle's birthday. Very excited about that. All the
(00:47):
work he does on News Nation every week, and 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?
(01:10):
It takes me ten minutes to read your intro every
Thursday morning.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well it's his ai. I'm not really here, No, I'm
going camping with ma'am Donnie. Oh nice, nice, We're going
to the Adirondacks, Sara leg Yeah, right, one of us
may not come back.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
The big woods up there.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
It is big. He is going there. You can get
lost in that woods as you can, as you can go.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Zareen and I we're going like that. I hope he uh,
I hope he's not going to talk. That was the
only thing I said. I'll go with you, but don't
you can't talk.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
He really is going to language.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You're fine, you know he really is going up there, right,
he really is.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Of course, I know, what do you think you're talking to? Oh?
You know where?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
He's actually going there? Well, I know, but but I
know you know that.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But folks out there maybe thinking you just made up
this elaborate vacation with the mayor.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But he's actually going there. This cell creep going.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Right, he's going there. And I remember a movie called
Lake Placid. She's also upstate where there were giant gators
in the water.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And I remember that too.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I do remember that.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I did see that movie. Yes, I saw it.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
One of the navigators actually got up. I think they.
I think they ran in a car. Or might have
been uber. They drove them out of Florida and they
dumped them in White Placid. But I don't want anything
bad to happen to the mayor. But I am looking
forward to our camping expedition.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Well, I guess you are, because you know you uh,
you don't say horrible things about him. 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
(03:10):
know you, me, President Trump, we've all called, amongst 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.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well, man, do me is a communist? And when I
go on television radio and I get 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
(03:46):
is no party. It has not run a country. What
are you talking about? And number two, Mandy wants to
control the means of production, and then I stop, I stopped.
Don't say anything more because the person interviewing me inevitably
doesn't know what I just said. They don't know what
(04:09):
communism is. And so when they're looking at me means
of production and I'm looking at the person, wasn't all
explained to them what it is that the government controls
everything that we do. That's communism, that's Soviet Union, that's Cuba,
(04:32):
that's China, that's Vietnam. That's what the government does, and
that's who ran Donnie is. So he wants to tell
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 the second apartment. No, if
you want to have eighteen apartments in America, you can
(04:54):
have eighteen apartments. Man, Donna is no right to go
in and demand money from you. That's ridiculous. That's totalitarianism.
Then he wants to bring in food. What do you
think he wants to running food? He wants to run
the bodeguas and anybody else that he doesn't have control
(05:15):
of out of business. So I'm gonna charge thirty percent less,
says Mandami for food stables. Number one. That's never gonna
happen because the unions will get involved, and you know
everybody's gonna get in bid. He'll never get it, okay,
But he wants to control what you eat where you live.
(05:38):
Are you not getting this? And I mean sometimes I
don't want to be Super Silly's particularly Unit and friends
or the day Super Silly is of it. But come on,
you gotta open your eyes and you gotta figure it
out if you want to be a loyal American citizen.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Bottom line, So you live in the safest county anywhere
in America. And earlier this morning about seven am, I
had your police commissioner on.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I love the guy pot.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Rider, And as you and I are speaking, him and
Finton 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,
Cash Betel, Todd Blanche and all your Long Island politicians.
So we talked about ice because Kathy Hockel came out
yesterday and she said, the guy that's running against me
(06:30):
is 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,
that county very safe.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
She doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
She said, I make the law, I'm the governor, and
Bruce Blakeman he's going to abide by that law.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Bottom line, I said the writer. I guess I don't
have much of a choice. He said, No.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
August twenty fifth is a date that the new rules
going to effect.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
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.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Well, sure, because that's her constituency. Where where is the president?
Where is the saret tomorrow? Now this I don't know,
and I should know, because I've been preoccupied with booking
the tent for man DOMI sore where this gathering?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
This is tomorrow afternoon.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He's supposed to arrive about three trump and it's going
to be at the new Police Academy there in National Call.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
That's correct, Yes, roll in about seven o'clock at night.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
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 a motorcade in the Hamptons
with Steve Whitcoff. 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 Minneola to Southampton tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Night and that'll be a delightful ride. Uh. Lets you
take you about eight and a half hours.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
No, I know that.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
And you want you want to know about migrants, All
you gotta do is stand on Sunrise Highway.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Hey, I know there loaded down. They are loaded down.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
So it's been as a well, I know, I know,
my god. It's because all of the UH service industry
in the wealthy UH 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.
(08:43):
I'm I hire immigrants who have green cars and they
work very very hard, very hard, okay, and I want
them to prosper. The bad news is if Jose pulls
up and Amagansett in a canoe. That might not be good.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
No, it would be good.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
No, no, because we don't know anything about Jose other
than he's bringing a machete.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Right, and that's okay. Well, and by the way, that's
okay with local. That's okay with local.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
If Bose okay withal, what do you think is going
to vote for Hogel. She's gonna have to get every
progressive out there to vote for her, and she's gonna
do it. But here's something that very few people know.
When Ice goes in and makes the detains people, they
(09:35):
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
(10:01):
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
(10:23):
great people, but they have an order of deportation.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
They booked the law.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Never hear that, but they poked the law bill, They
booked the law.
