Tomorrow is expected to be one of the busiest days of the year, with experts predicting it could even break records as the busiest Thanksgiving travel day in history. With airports bracing for large crowds, some are wondering if dressing more casually while traveling might actually foster greater respect and empathy among passengers. In other news, the Trump Administration is appealing the dismissed cases against New York Attorney General Letitia James, who faced allegations of mortgage fraud, and former FBI Director James Comey, who was accused of lying to Congress. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. Will Mark be on one of the floats at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year? Seafood may be a popular dish to have on Thanksgiving. The Democrats most likely lost support due to a video surfacing that allegedly undermines the military.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now this is the Mark Simon.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Show on sevent ten. Hey, so what's the day Tuesday?
All right, Now, everybody's kind of leaving. I'm actually taking
the rest of the week off. But everybody's kind of fleeing,
leaving radio TV. You know, you watch Fox whatever, you while,
you notice all the hosts are gone. They're on the
(00:24):
C list guests, same thing, MSNBC. Everybody's leaving late night
TV reruns. Everybody takes off the rest of the week.
The President will leave later today and head to mar
A Lago. I think you can turn that off now,
we don't need a whole soundtrack. The President will go
(00:45):
to mar A Lago later today. They actually have the
tree was delivered to the White House. There's a tree ceremony,
and I think he does that pardoning the Turkey. In fact,
last year's a Turkey part and yea, they should check
see if that's auto pen on that. So that's today
and then late in the day, actually about I think
(01:07):
five six o'clock, the President will leave head tomorrow. Lago
arrived there around nine pm tonight and he'll be there
until Sunday night. So he's taking the rest of the
week off. Hey, we'll we'll get to call me and
Letitia James what this means as far as their case.
We'll get to the Mamdanni meeting. We're getting more and
more detail on exactly what happened there. We'll get to
(01:30):
everybody Loves Raymond. We'll get to Times Square in New
Year's Eve, we'll get to the Mamdani transition team and more. Now,
today's Tuesday. Tomorrow's the big travel day. Most people will
travel tomorrow. It's going to be the busiest Thanksgiving travel
season ever. It's expected that eighty two million people will
(01:55):
be traveling. That's by train, car playing. Eighty two million
people traveling this Thanksgiving. Now the good news, air traffic
controllers are all back to work. Everything's back full schedule.
Everything's back up to speed with air traffic control. But
tomorrow's the biggest travel day of airlines. They call it
(02:15):
their super Bowl. Here's the airline spokesman. It's going to
be a busy week for us, the airlines, the travel
sector in general, airports, TSA, FAA, Especially for us, this
week is our super Bowl. All right. I think our
super Bowl is a little more exciting than yours. But okay, now, hey,
Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary. I don't know what got
(02:39):
them on this kick, but you know they've been having
a lot of trouble on airplanes with the rowdy passengers,
fights breaking out, people half naked, people with bare feet,
putting them up on the seat, and I get bare
feet right next to somebody else's head. And it's been
absolutely disgusting years and years ago. You know, you go
back and watch mad Men when Don Draper has to
(02:59):
fly somewhere. You know, everybody on the plane has a
suit and tie. The stewardesses are all beautiful, well dressed,
and they're serving lobster and champagne. And the cart comes
down the island. They're carving this this juicy steak. This
was airline travel back then, back in the fifties and
sixties was Pan America, and it was the most elegant
(03:20):
way to travel. Everybody was dressed beautifully. It was first
class all the way. Now what happened, Well, truth is,
airline travel was expensive back then. You know, you paid
today's in today's dollars, you were pay thousands of dollars
for the airplane ticket. So and then things got cheap,
(03:40):
you know, remember it was the first one was People's
Express wherever. I think that was the first one in
the seventies where you could fly for like sixty eight bucks.
All of a sudden, it's very cheap. And then there
were more cheap airlines, and then the real airlines had
to start competing, so they had to bring down the
ticket prices. So now it's cost nothing to fly. You
gotta fly to Florida and back, it's two hundred dollars
(04:02):
a round trip, whereas back in the Don Draper days
it was four thousand, five thousand. So back then you
had all the wealthy, you know, well dressed to people
on planes, and the people with the cheap tickets were
all on greyhound buses. But now the airlines got cheaper
than the greyhound buses. So everybody's a slob on the airlines.
But Duffy, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wants to go back
(04:24):
to that golden age of air travel where people dress
up in a suit and tie. And he thinks if
you're dressed up, that would change your behavior. He's probably right,
you know, if you're dressed up, you behave a little differently.
You know, you gotta go to a wedding or a funeral,
and people that never get dressed up or suddenly in
a suit and tie, and it stiffens him up. They
behave a little better.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
But here's Duffy maybe dressing with some respect, you know,
whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt.
I would encourage people maybe dress a little better, which
encourage us, encourages us to maybe behave all a little better.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Now, he's absolutely right. Of course he's insane, he's crazy.
Nobody's going to this. Nobody. Nobody's going to do this.
You're not gonna get anybody to do Hey, you go
to a funeral. Now, people are in sweatsuits. If people
just don't dress up anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Tomorrow will be the busiest day. There'll be fifty two
thousand flights tomorrow as Americans board aircraft fly across the country.
Maybe they gonna go to sporting events, they're going on vacation,
or hopefully they're going to spend time with their families.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Now you go to the hottest restaurant in Manhattan, the
most expensive, hottest, everybody's dressed like a slob. Now, there
are certain restaurants that required a jacket and tie. You know,
the Twenty one Club, the Four Seasons, Let's cirque, you
had to wear a jacket and tie. You'll notice they're
all clothed and out of business. It doesn't work in
today's world. You're not I mean, I like to get
(05:45):
dressed up, but you're not going to convince everybody to
put on a suit and tie to get on the plane. Now.
I hate to say it, but nowadays people somewhere they
got one suit and one tie, and it's only for
a funeral if they got to go to court. For
a lot of people, especially these badly behave people, the
only time they're going to wear a suit is when
they're the defendant on trial. And speaking of trials, the
(06:09):
Comy case and the Letitia James case both thrown out
by a left wing judge. They will bring back the cases.
They will be appealed. You know Comy was out there
doing his victory dance. He should probably stop that because
it is going to get appealed. Definitely.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Sure, we'll be taking all available legal action, including an
immediate appeal, to hold Letitia James and James Comy accountable
for their unlawful conduct.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Now they will be on trial. Here's the thing. Remember
when it first happened, call me me put out that video.
You know, Comy is this weirdo, pompous, sanctimonious guy, and
he put out this video. I am innocent. Let's go
to trial. I want to try this to show you
how innoson. I am Let's go to trial. Well, they
got no court and he didn't argue the case at all.
All they did was try to find some technical difficulty
(07:02):
with the prosecutor to get the case dismissed on a technicality,
and that's how the judge threw it out. So there
was no ruling of any kind on Komi's guilt or
Leticia James's guilt. Nothing. This was strictly the technical stuff
about the prosecutor that you have to be confirmed by
the Senate. This prosecutor was appointed as an interim prosecutor,
(07:26):
interim temporary prosecutor. So they argued that it was she
had used up her allotted one hundred and twenty day
interim appointment and then she was beyond one hundred and
twenty day dead. It's just silly nonsense, but that's how
got turned out. Now they can simply get another prosecutor,
which would be easy to do. They could do that,
they could have somebody else to do the case. The
(07:48):
only problem with Komy there is a statute of limitations,
and I think we just went past it, so they'd
have to But it was in the middle of this trial.
So normally you could argue to get a grace period,
a six to eight month grace period on that statute
of limitations. The judge can deny it. In fact, in
(08:08):
the ruling, this was a Bill Clinton, left wing Comy
lovin swamp judge who in the decision puts something in
there about I don't feel this this case would have
a grace period apply to it for statute of limitations.
So this judge was doing everything to protect Call Me
(08:30):
Comy was again doing his victory dance all over TV yesterday.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I'm grateful that the court ended the case against me,
which was a prosecution based on malevolence and incompetence and
a reflection of what the Department of Justice has become
under Donald Trump, which is heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Oh god, it's heartbreaking. Oh my god. There are a
couple of cases you could argue that maybe it's a weaponisation.
You could maybe argue a couple of these cases. Well,
they call me. There were a thousand cases that were
no doubt. Weapon is a total weaponization. This guy made
up the whole Russia hoax, total weaponization. Look, call me,
(09:09):
went after everybody and anybody. Uh So, it's I mean,
that's the irony of this whole thing that he's being
accused of doing. He's accusing Trump of doing what he's
the most guilty of in the history of the FBI,
worse than j Edgar Hoover.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
This case mattered to me personally, obviously, but it matters
most because a message has to be sent that the
President of the United States cannot use the Department of
Justice to target his political enemies.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, that's call Me's job. Let him do that.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
I don't care what your politics are. You have to
see that as fundamentally Unamerican and a threat to the
rule of law that keeps all of us free.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, I've met call me a few times. He actually
talks like this, believe it or not. When you meet
him just socially, he's like the sanctimonious Hello. Oh, he's
very m she's a very serious, pompous voice. So the
case will come back. Now in the case of Letitia James,
there's no statute of limitations problem that case will proceed.
(10:10):
She's absolutely If you look at the paperwork, it looks
like she's absolutely guilty of mortgage frauds. So her they
got I don't see how they don't end up convicting her.
She's going to have a real problem. But call me.
They got to go over all these technicalities. Hey, if
you watch fake news NBCCBSABC, MSNBC, if you watch the
(10:30):
fake news networks, they'll give you this stuff about the
prosecutor who has no experience as a prosecutor. She was
appointed prosecutor without any experience as a prosecutor. She has
no prosecutorial experience. They keep making a big point out
of this, but because it's fake news, they never point
out that that's not unusual. Many many US attorneys that
are appointed have no experience as a prosecutor. It's pretty
(10:53):
I mean, many of them do, but many of them don't.
You know what good example is Chris Christy. He was
never a prosecutor. He was appointed US attorney with no
experience as a prosecutor. In fact, he'd just been a
regular corporate lawyer. He'd never even been in a courtroom.
Before when he was made US attorney. And if you
watch him on that Sunday Morning show, you know he's
(11:14):
always giving you that. You know, as a prosecutor. As
a former prosecutor, I can tell you, well, he became
a prosecutor just because he was a big donor, bundler
for George W. Bush And the reward was US attorney
in New Jersey. Never been a prosecutor. It's not unusual.
Happens all the time. So we'll see where that case goes.
Nothing will happen till after Thanksgiving. Everybody's going away. Hey,
(11:37):
the Trump Mam Donnie meeting all right here, So we're
learning more and more about this meeting. It was brokeer by.
He doesn't want his name mentioned. It's a big, big, big, big,
big New York business name, huge business name who had
a very good relationship with Mom Donnie. Big business guy.
(11:58):
He broke at the meeting. He admits it was Mam
Donnie who wanted the meeting. A top Mam Donnie inner
circle person approached him to see if he could set
up the meeting. He talked with the President, he talked
with the White House. They were open to the meeting,
and they agreed to it. Now, one of the conditions
(12:21):
was that Mam Donnie, they asked that he not come
in there and if there were a press conference afterwards
starts spewing his left wing nonsense. He agreed not to
do that to keep it, keep it in check, and
they agreed to the meeting, so it took place. Now, apparently,
the why would Mamdani reach out and pull strings trying
(12:41):
to get a meeting with the president. Why was it
so important to him, Well, apparently after he got elected.
One of the things that happens is you meet with
the current mayor, the current city hall people, the current governor,
the current government. You meet with them and they show
you the books. Basically, they show you everything, show you
all the inside stuff, the files, the secrets. So he's
(13:04):
looking through the financials of it and he realizes New
York has a huge budget problem. Then if he wants
to do any of these programs, pay for even a
few of them, he's going to have a problem. And
he also under law now you have to balance the
city budget, you can't go into debt. So he was
briefed on the budget and he saw that a major
(13:26):
part of it is seven point five billion in federal aid.
There's no way you can get that budget to work
without that seven point five billion in federal aid to
the city. So he saw it was crucial. The whole
budget is going to face a seventeen billion dollar budget
deficit in the next fiscal year. You have to balance
(13:48):
that according to the law. So he absolutely has to
have that federal money. If Trump cuts off the federal money,
he is dead. Not only do all his programs disappear.
Anything he wants to do is going without the federal money.
But he's got a major budget crisis. He could have
a shortfall of as much as eight billion dollars. So
(14:10):
that's why he's got to make sure that federal money
doesn't stop. It's the only thing that keeps his administration alive.
So that's why he wanted the meeting. That's why he
wants to get along with Trump. Trump wants the meeting
because he wants me. You know, like any crazy person
you're dealing with, Kim Jong un or Putin or whoever,
(14:31):
you want to meet with them, try to work something
out with them. Trump is playing nice for now, but
he can go, you know, rough at any time. So
they want to work out something with to keep deporting
the illegals, the criminal illegals and all that. He wants
the police. Trump wants the police force to be top
notch here in New York, total law enforcement. So if
(14:53):
Mom Donnie, you know, doesn't do the right thing on
either of those, Trump can stop the turn off the
money flow, and Mom Donnie will be in huge financial trouble.
So he agreed to a lot of things. He agreed
not to antagonize Trump. Next year they're gonna have this big,
big budget problem. So that's the reason it all took place.
(15:15):
They got off to a good start. Now Trump can
go nasty at any point if he wants. Mam Donnie
really doesn't have any leverage on this. As Trump said
to Zelenski, you don't have the cards right now. So
Mam Donnie will probably behave most important thing is of
the crime situation. He will leave the police department alone.
(15:36):
We hope that's the one thing he agreed with Trump
on leave the police department alone. Let him clean up
the crime. Anyway, we'll get back to that. We'll get
to the Ukraine. It looks like there's going to be
a peace deal. As crazy as that peace plan was,
as pro Russia as that police plan was. Looks like
they're working something out. You may have an agreement within
a week. Meetings are taking place as we speak. We'll
(16:00):
get to hey. New Year's Eve, they unveiled the new ball.
You know, every fifteen twenty years they do a new ball.
You know, the ball drops on New Year's Eve. It
used to be light bulbs, and it became LEDs and
then when all digital. The new ball, this one is huge.
It's twelve feet in diameter. It's much much, much bigger
(16:23):
than the other balls, be much more visible. It's all circles.
The old one was triangles. It's all circles, so it
can do amazing effects. It's it's on display in times
square if you want to go look at it. Anyway,
we've got a lot to get to. We'll take some calls. Next.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
We're still working as a hooker in Las Vegas?
Speaker 6 (17:48):
I know, well no, all my clients are dead and
buried and not but Mark, this is going to be
the first year with having prime roast, no turk. Well,
I always like the sides anyway, I'm not a turkey fan.
I like the side stuffing three potato.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
But all right, well that's good. Well, have a great Thanksgiving. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know. Do we still have that turkey every year?
I love turkey, but a lot of people don't. And
she's right. Have whatever you want for Thanksgiving. You know,
every day for a week and a half, we've had
these Thanksgiving buffets. Here at iHeart there's one right now
in front of the Elvis studio. This is the one
(18:28):
fifth full Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey Cranberry's a stuffing pumpkin. Fifth
one I've had in a week and a half. I
gotta be honest, I can't have another Thanksgiving dinner. It's
enough for the rest of the year. Let's go to
Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich how you doing thanks walk?
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Pretty good? Happy Thanks given?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I guess call me.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
He's not off the hook. I'm just going to refile
once you get past the holidays, right, Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, No, the case is that there was nothing against
the case. It was just simply technicality on how the
prosecutor got appointed. So it does not help. Call me.
He's gonna argue.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
You can't wait to see these people in handcuffs and
see their mug shots for fal Teatian James, call me
to be I'd be so awesome to see these sanctimonias.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
We losen. Yeah, these two lawf Era idiots, but call
me will now argue statute of limitations. So remember that
video he put out the first day of this he said,
I'm ready for a trial. Let's go to trial. Now
he's fighting every technicality not to go to trial. Let's
go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing, Good morning, Mark,
that's Mike.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
I agree if they should be prosecuted, but it's no
less infuriating that they are able to stall these cases.
You know, nobody said anything when Colangelo went to New
York from the DJ to prosecute Trump. I mean, oh,
you know what a shock, you know, in the hush
money case. And not the least of which any two
bit you know, second third court judge can rule on
(19:56):
every you know, every.
Speaker 9 (19:58):
Order that the president may and nobody says anything. And
it's a delay tactic that works because time runs out.
The buck is running on the administration, and so you.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Know, really what this is. It's just they got very
lucky geography wise. If this case were in a normal place,
a normal court, a normal judge, Camy would have a
big problem. But when you do it in Washington, d c.
Or this district in Virginia, where it's really part of Washington,
d C. Or if you do it in New York City,
get a left wing kook, Trump hating judge who will
(20:30):
always rule against anything Trump. That's the problem. So then
if they could get this move to a normal place.
That's why Trump had a easy time in the documents cases.
It went to Florida, we had a normal, neutral, legitimate
judge instead of these left wing kooks. Let's go to
Paul in white Stone. Paul, how you doing, Hey.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Mark, how you doing? You know my Bommy's bringing in.
There's a guy on his transition team focusing on community
safety named Alex Vitally. Alex is a book on college
professor who wants to abolish the police and legalize prostitution.
He doesn't allow any comments on his Facebook posts. I
tried to comment on it. I tried to call his
(21:12):
office at Brooklyn College.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Why why are you calling him?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Because I want to debate him. I want to I
want to change the debate.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Why should you debate him? Why should he debate you?
This guy's a left wing kook professor, that's what he believes.
You're not going to change his mind.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You never know, You got to get you don't give
leave them, leave them alone.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
He's a left wing I'm not going to leave them alone.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
In fact, I'm going to expose his hypocrisy because I
asked Brooklyn college security. Has he has he indicated abolishing
campus security. They said no, we've never had any time.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
All right, but we know what he is. He's a
left wing kook, professor. He's never been out in the
real world, probably never had a real job.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
He's all right, So we should just ignore him instead of.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
There's nothing to expose. We know what he is as
soon as you said, professor Brooklyn, as soon as you
said profess, yes, sir, you know he's a left wing cook.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
But you can't you can't just say, oh, all of
those people are crazy. Now I have given examples of
why that crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
You know they're crazy. Of course they're crazy. We know
they're crazy. All right, you're not going to do anything
about it. Just devote your energy to something more useful
than a crazy kook of a college professor. They're all nuts.
If you want to do something, actually get these colleges
to start hiring normal people instead of just left wing
radical kooks to be the professor's Hey, when we come
(22:31):
back Bill O'Reilly, We'll be with us next on seven
to ten WR.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Mark Simone on.
Speaker 2 (22:41):

the number one best selling non fiction author on Earth.
You should get his latest book. It's already a huge bestseller,

Speaker 10 (23:05):
How you doing getting ready for Thanksgiving? I hear a
rumor you're going to be on one of the floats, amone?
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
No, it's gonna be windy and cold and freezing.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
Have you ever been to one of those parades?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Well, I've been in a few parades, not to Thanksgiving
Day one, but other parades. No, it's kind of strange
marching down the road.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
I had to work it a few times when I
was at Channel two. I just don't know why people
like to see people on floats waving. Do you have
any idea why they like to see that?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
No, I don't know why anybody would stand there for
twelve hours. When you go watch the TV.
Speaker 10 (23:42):
But why do they? Millions of people turn on TV's
is to watch people on floats waving everyone like animal
house and they will destroy each other. That'll be all right,
but I'm not getting it. They are they're waving, so.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
What you know what?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
It's also very generational. This Donald Duck comes by and
every kid goes, who the hell is that? You know?
Speaker 10 (24:05):
They right? How about the rockets? I don't know one
human being who's ever seen the rockets? Do you know
anybody who's ever seen the rockets?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Well, privately I've seen a few, but not the show
left them. So, hey, you're the great historian. The first
Thanksgiving we pictured the beautifully dressed Pilgrims. They came over
in the Wonderful Mayflower. Tell us what really happened back then?
Speaker 10 (24:30):
Well, sixteen twenty two, they're Uni may Flower. Sixty six
days they show up. They think they're in Virginia, but
they're not. They're in Cape cot Oh and it's cold, windy.
But they want off the ship because sixty six days
and they couldn't go on top of the ship. They
(24:52):
had all stayed beneath the deck. And you can imagine
the just the odor alone down there, So they all
want to can't where they were. I just want to
get off the stupid Mayflower. So they row in and
they show up Plymouth. If you go up to Massachusetts,
(25:13):
the town of Plymouth, there's no rock, all right. But
they show up and then they look at each other
and goes, well, what do we do now? Any drive
in restaurants or any door dash It's like, okay, we
have to find food or die. Half of them die,
half of them whoa yeah. Within a year. And I
(25:36):
read about this in Killing the Witches, how this harrowing
voyage and the reason that they had to make it.
And they weren't called pilgrims to one hundred years later
in the nineteenth century they labeled them pilgrims. They were
called separatists or Puritans, and they were very harsh religious people,
and everybody in Europe hated them. The Dutch hated them.
(25:59):
The hated them because they were like fanatics. They're like
the people that come to your door, you know, and
they want to convert you. That's what they were. And
so they somehow survived somehow with the help of the
Native American. A guy named Squanto showed them how to
get food out of the forest, so half of them survived.
(26:21):
But they're all quibbling and yelling at each other in
church for five hours and all of that. So it
wasn't exactly club med there, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So the first Thanksgiving dinner everybody was fighting too, not
just today.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
Well now they had a dinner a courtesy of Squanto
in his a few tribe members, most of the tribe
with white gap by smallpox. And Squanto was an Indian
who was kidnapped by an English sailor and brought the Spain,
learned how to speak English and Spain, and then somehow
(26:58):
got back to Massachusetts. I don't know whether he flew
Jet blue. I don't know how he got back there,
but Squanto was a good guy and helped him out.
So they had a three days celebration where they all
got you know, they weren't supposed to get drunk, but
believe me, they were getting drunk. And they had oysters,
mostly seafood, not turkey, not turkey or you know, mashed potatoes.
(27:24):
It's mostly seafood day ate. But they had a good time.
And then from there the Massachusetts Bay Colony was established.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
So how come, we have to have turkey and stuffing
and all that. Why can't we have seafood?
Speaker 10 (27:38):
Well, a better question is why do we have the
president of the United States pardoning the turkey? Now? I
heard a rumor that Senator Kelly's going to be on
that line. He's going to get partner along with the Kelly,
but I don't think that's true.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Hey, those Congress people with their silly stunt. Although it worked,
it was a pretty good stunt. But we go to
an era of trolling and stunts, and that's how we're
going to do our nation's politics.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
I know.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
It's so ridiculous. And a man, Donnie Trump meaning was
a stunt too. I wrote a column on Billowilly dot
com about this, called a stunt Factor. Yeah. I think
you're right. I think this is the future politics as
you set up this contrived nonsense. But I don't think
this worked out well for the Democrats, the six of
(28:27):
these people. I don't think they gained any currency, except
for the far left cranks. Because even if you don't
like Trump and you're going, why you're undermining the military, now,
is that what you're doing here? If they had a beef,
a legitimate beef of an order that might be beyond
the constitutional authority of the president. I'm willing to listen
(28:51):
to that. But they didn't have anything. They just want
to get on television and wail about how noble they
are with a bunch of garbage.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It was a bold solution for a problem that doesn't
exist and has So.
Speaker 10 (29:06):
The problem is there in a sense that there are
all orders given in every campaign by every president that
are dubious. You imagine being in Theanola gay I wrote
this on the column, and you got to drop the
a bomb on civilians and kill one hundred thousand of them.
I mean, that's still being debated to this day, Harry
Truman's order. But you're in the plane. I think, I
(29:27):
think this is your leg I'm not dropping a bomb.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
No, he can't.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
He can't have that nothing. Come on, so.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Hey, Ukraine. It seemed like a silly kind of a
peace plan, too much in favor of Russia. But it
looks like they've made some progress on it looks like
something could happen.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
What do you think, Well, this is will usually happen.
Some slimeball leaked out the original outline of the peace
deal to the Telegraph newspaper in London. But you know,
any negotiator, if you've everyone in the negotiation in your life,
you always start with craziness. I want this, I want that,
(30:06):
and then you come back to the center. So the
President don't care about any of that. They just report
the league. I don't know exactly how this is going
to come out, but I do know that Russia is
much more powerful than Ukraine. And you know you're getting
all these dispatches from the White House saying, well, we
got this, we got that. I wouldn't count on Putin cooperating.
(30:30):
You know, if you read Confronting Evil and thank you
for mentioning it, a pop, this is a bad guy.
I mean beyond I mean, if you really want evil,
if you really want to understand it, you can read
my book. But you can also look at this Putin.
This guy he enjoys killing women and children. He likes it,
and he can. There's no restraint on him. He's hitler,
(30:53):
he's Stylin. He does what he wants. He's going like
he has to confer with somebody. So I don't get
too optimistic about this thing. And Zelensky has got no
power at all, none and so where is his bargaining position.
He didn't have one.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah, if you want to read an amazing book, Bill
O'Reilly's latest book, Confronting Evil. If you want to really
be stunned, read the Putin chapter. You won't believe this guy.
But also, it's Christmas coming up. People need to get gifts.
What do you have a good deal on your books
for gifts?
Speaker 7 (31:25):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (31:25):
You know, we have a lot of good stuff. Because
I feel bad for working men and women, particularly in
the New York area. We're being gouged every time we
turn around. Fifteen dollars tun of sandwiches now and come on,
you know. So what I did on Bill O'Reilly dot
com Christmas store was we have a bundle of all
(31:46):
of my books, all fifteen thirteen, Killing two Confronting for
a very good price. And these books are in demand.
Even if you don't like me, the books are good.
And see you buy the bundle, keep some for yourself
if you want, but you can give them away. You
save a ton of money on gifts. And I'll sign them.
I can. I signed five thousand books tom and over
(32:08):
the weekend. Wow, five thousand books.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah, people, you don't think, but a book is a
great Christmas gift for somebody perfect.
Speaker 10 (32:16):
Yeah, especially if it's a good book. Yeah, if they
like it. And then we got, you know, the not
woke stuff we got. I have a knot woke matt
in front of my house. I sat a little message.
You know, I don't want to really hear it. I
know we have Christmas ornaments and hats and shirts and
all that stuff. And what this does is it allows
me to give nice Christmas bonuses to my staff. Yeah,
(32:39):
so so everybody, everybody wins here.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
All right, Well we're out of time, but if you
want to do some Christmas shopping, you want to get
it all taken care of, go to Bill O'Reilly dot com.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Show on sevent ten. Hey, so what's the day Tuesday?
All right, Now, everybody's kind of leaving. I'm actually taking
the rest of the week off. But everybody's kind of fleeing,
leaving radio TV. You know, you watch Fox whatever, you while,
you notice all the hosts are gone. They're on the
(00:24):
C list guests, same thing, MSNBC. Everybody's leaving late night
TV reruns. Everybody takes off the rest of the week.
The President will leave later today and head to mar
A Lago. I think you can turn that off now,
we don't need a whole soundtrack. The President will go
(00:45):
to mar A Lago later today. They actually have the
tree was delivered to the White House. There's a tree ceremony,
and I think he does that pardoning the Turkey. In fact,
last year's a Turkey part and yea, they should check
see if that's auto pen on that. So that's today
and then late in the day, actually about I think
(01:07):
five six o'clock, the President will leave head tomorrow. Lago
arrived there around nine pm tonight and he'll be there
until Sunday night. So he's taking the rest of the
week off. Hey, we'll we'll get to call me and
Letitia James what this means as far as their case.
We'll get to the Mamdanni meeting. We're getting more and
more detail on exactly what happened there. We'll get to
(01:30):
everybody Loves Raymond. We'll get to Times Square in New
Year's Eve, we'll get to the Mamdani transition team and more. Now,
today's Tuesday. Tomorrow's the big travel day. Most people will
travel tomorrow. It's going to be the busiest Thanksgiving travel
season ever. It's expected that eighty two million people will
(01:55):
be traveling. That's by train, car playing. Eighty two million
people traveling this Thanksgiving. Now the good news, air traffic
controllers are all back to work. Everything's back full schedule.
Everything's back up to speed with air traffic control. But
tomorrow's the biggest travel day of airlines. They call it
(02:15):
their super Bowl. Here's the airline spokesman. It's going to
be a busy week for us, the airlines, the travel
sector in general, airports, TSA, FAA, Especially for us, this
week is our super Bowl. All right. I think our
super Bowl is a little more exciting than yours. But okay, now, hey,
Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary. I don't know what got
(02:39):
them on this kick, but you know they've been having
a lot of trouble on airplanes with the rowdy passengers,
fights breaking out, people half naked, people with bare feet,
putting them up on the seat, and I get bare
feet right next to somebody else's head. And it's been
absolutely disgusting years and years ago. You know, you go
back and watch mad Men when Don Draper has to
(02:59):
fly somewhere. You know, everybody on the plane has a
suit and tie. The stewardesses are all beautiful, well dressed,
and they're serving lobster and champagne. And the cart comes
down the island. They're carving this this juicy steak. This
was airline travel back then, back in the fifties and
sixties was Pan America, and it was the most elegant
(03:20):
way to travel. Everybody was dressed beautifully. It was first
class all the way. Now what happened, Well, truth is,
airline travel was expensive back then. You know, you paid
today's in today's dollars, you were pay thousands of dollars
for the airplane ticket. So and then things got cheap,
(03:40):
you know, remember it was the first one was People's
Express wherever. I think that was the first one in
the seventies where you could fly for like sixty eight bucks.
All of a sudden, it's very cheap. And then there
were more cheap airlines, and then the real airlines had
to start competing, so they had to bring down the
ticket prices. So now it's cost nothing to fly. You
gotta fly to Florida and back, it's two hundred dollars
(04:02):
a round trip, whereas back in the Don Draper days
it was four thousand, five thousand. So back then you
had all the wealthy, you know, well dressed to people
on planes, and the people with the cheap tickets were
all on greyhound buses. But now the airlines got cheaper
than the greyhound buses. So everybody's a slob on the airlines.
But Duffy, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wants to go back
(04:24):
to that golden age of air travel where people dress
up in a suit and tie. And he thinks if
you're dressed up, that would change your behavior. He's probably right,
you know, if you're dressed up, you behave a little differently.
You know, you gotta go to a wedding or a funeral,
and people that never get dressed up or suddenly in
a suit and tie, and it stiffens him up. They
behave a little better.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
But here's Duffy maybe dressing with some respect, you know,
whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt.
I would encourage people maybe dress a little better, which
encourage us, encourages us to maybe behave all a little better.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Now, he's absolutely right. Of course he's insane, he's crazy.
Nobody's going to this. Nobody. Nobody's going to do this.
You're not gonna get anybody to do Hey, you go
to a funeral. Now, people are in sweatsuits. If people
just don't dress up anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Tomorrow will be the busiest day. There'll be fifty two
thousand flights tomorrow as Americans board aircraft fly across the country.
Maybe they gonna go to sporting events, they're going on vacation,
or hopefully they're going to spend time with their families.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Now you go to the hottest restaurant in Manhattan, the
most expensive, hottest, everybody's dressed like a slob. Now, there
are certain restaurants that required a jacket and tie. You know,
the Twenty one Club, the Four Seasons, Let's cirque, you
had to wear a jacket and tie. You'll notice they're
all clothed and out of business. It doesn't work in
today's world. You're not I mean, I like to get
(05:45):
dressed up, but you're not going to convince everybody to
put on a suit and tie to get on the plane. Now.
I hate to say it, but nowadays people somewhere they
got one suit and one tie, and it's only for
a funeral if they got to go to court. For
a lot of people, especially these badly behave people, the
only time they're going to wear a suit is when
they're the defendant on trial. And speaking of trials, the
(06:09):
Comy case and the Letitia James case both thrown out
by a left wing judge. They will bring back the cases.
They will be appealed. You know Comy was out there
doing his victory dance. He should probably stop that because
it is going to get appealed. Definitely.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Sure, we'll be taking all available legal action, including an
immediate appeal, to hold Letitia James and James Comy accountable
for their unlawful conduct.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Now they will be on trial. Here's the thing. Remember
when it first happened, call me me put out that video.
You know, Comy is this weirdo, pompous, sanctimonious guy, and
he put out this video. I am innocent. Let's go
to trial. I want to try this to show you
how innoson. I am Let's go to trial. Well, they
got no court and he didn't argue the case at all.
All they did was try to find some technical difficulty
(07:02):
with the prosecutor to get the case dismissed on a technicality,
and that's how the judge threw it out. So there
was no ruling of any kind on Komi's guilt or
Leticia James's guilt. Nothing. This was strictly the technical stuff
about the prosecutor that you have to be confirmed by
the Senate. This prosecutor was appointed as an interim prosecutor,
(07:26):
interim temporary prosecutor. So they argued that it was she
had used up her allotted one hundred and twenty day
interim appointment and then she was beyond one hundred and
twenty day dead. It's just silly nonsense, but that's how
got turned out. Now they can simply get another prosecutor,
which would be easy to do. They could do that,
they could have somebody else to do the case. The
(07:48):
only problem with Komy there is a statute of limitations,
and I think we just went past it, so they'd
have to But it was in the middle of this trial.
So normally you could argue to get a grace period,
a six to eight month grace period on that statute
of limitations. The judge can deny it. In fact, in
(08:08):
the ruling, this was a Bill Clinton, left wing Comy
lovin swamp judge who in the decision puts something in
there about I don't feel this this case would have
a grace period apply to it for statute of limitations.
So this judge was doing everything to protect Call Me
(08:30):
Comy was again doing his victory dance all over TV yesterday.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I'm grateful that the court ended the case against me,
which was a prosecution based on malevolence and incompetence and
a reflection of what the Department of Justice has become
under Donald Trump, which is heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Oh god, it's heartbreaking. Oh my god. There are a
couple of cases you could argue that maybe it's a weaponisation.
You could maybe argue a couple of these cases. Well,
they call me. There were a thousand cases that were
no doubt. Weapon is a total weaponization. This guy made
up the whole Russia hoax, total weaponization. Look, call me,
(09:09):
went after everybody and anybody. Uh So, it's I mean,
that's the irony of this whole thing that he's being
accused of doing. He's accusing Trump of doing what he's
the most guilty of in the history of the FBI,
worse than j Edgar Hoover.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
This case mattered to me personally, obviously, but it matters
most because a message has to be sent that the
President of the United States cannot use the Department of
Justice to target his political enemies.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, that's call Me's job. Let him do that.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
I don't care what your politics are. You have to
see that as fundamentally Unamerican and a threat to the
rule of law that keeps all of us free.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, I've met call me a few times. He actually
talks like this, believe it or not. When you meet
him just socially, he's like the sanctimonious Hello. Oh, he's
very m she's a very serious, pompous voice. So the
case will come back. Now in the case of Letitia James,
there's no statute of limitations problem that case will proceed.
(10:10):
She's absolutely If you look at the paperwork, it looks
like she's absolutely guilty of mortgage frauds. So her they
got I don't see how they don't end up convicting her.
She's going to have a real problem. But call me.
They got to go over all these technicalities. Hey, if
you watch fake news NBCCBSABC, MSNBC, if you watch the
(10:30):
fake news networks, they'll give you this stuff about the
prosecutor who has no experience as a prosecutor. She was
appointed prosecutor without any experience as a prosecutor. She has
no prosecutorial experience. They keep making a big point out
of this, but because it's fake news, they never point
out that that's not unusual. Many many US attorneys that
are appointed have no experience as a prosecutor. It's pretty
(10:53):
I mean, many of them do, but many of them don't.
You know what good example is Chris Christy. He was
never a prosecutor. He was appointed US attorney with no
experience as a prosecutor. In fact, he'd just been a
regular corporate lawyer. He'd never even been in a courtroom.
Before when he was made US attorney. And if you
watch him on that Sunday Morning show, you know he's
(11:14):
always giving you that. You know, as a prosecutor. As
a former prosecutor, I can tell you, well, he became
a prosecutor just because he was a big donor, bundler
for George W. Bush And the reward was US attorney
in New Jersey. Never been a prosecutor. It's not unusual.
Happens all the time. So we'll see where that case goes.
Nothing will happen till after Thanksgiving. Everybody's going away. Hey,
(11:37):
the Trump Mam Donnie meeting all right here, So we're
learning more and more about this meeting. It was brokeer by.
He doesn't want his name mentioned. It's a big, big, big, big,
big New York business name, huge business name who had
a very good relationship with Mom Donnie. Big business guy.
(11:58):
He broke at the meeting. He admits it was Mam
Donnie who wanted the meeting. A top Mam Donnie inner
circle person approached him to see if he could set
up the meeting. He talked with the President, he talked
with the White House. They were open to the meeting,
and they agreed to it. Now, one of the conditions
(12:21):
was that Mam Donnie, they asked that he not come
in there and if there were a press conference afterwards
starts spewing his left wing nonsense. He agreed not to
do that to keep it, keep it in check, and
they agreed to the meeting, so it took place. Now, apparently,
the why would Mamdani reach out and pull strings trying
(12:41):
to get a meeting with the president. Why was it
so important to him, Well, apparently after he got elected.
One of the things that happens is you meet with
the current mayor, the current city hall people, the current governor,
the current government. You meet with them and they show
you the books. Basically, they show you everything, show you
all the inside stuff, the files, the secrets. So he's
(13:04):
looking through the financials of it and he realizes New
York has a huge budget problem. Then if he wants
to do any of these programs, pay for even a
few of them, he's going to have a problem. And
he also under law now you have to balance the
city budget, you can't go into debt. So he was
briefed on the budget and he saw that a major
(13:26):
part of it is seven point five billion in federal aid.
There's no way you can get that budget to work
without that seven point five billion in federal aid to
the city. So he saw it was crucial. The whole
budget is going to face a seventeen billion dollar budget
deficit in the next fiscal year. You have to balance
(13:48):
that according to the law. So he absolutely has to
have that federal money. If Trump cuts off the federal money,
he is dead. Not only do all his programs disappear.
Anything he wants to do is going without the federal money.
But he's got a major budget crisis. He could have
a shortfall of as much as eight billion dollars. So
(14:10):
that's why he's got to make sure that federal money
doesn't stop. It's the only thing that keeps his administration alive.
So that's why he wanted the meeting. That's why he
wants to get along with Trump. Trump wants the meeting
because he wants me. You know, like any crazy person
you're dealing with, Kim Jong un or Putin or whoever,
(14:31):
you want to meet with them, try to work something
out with them. Trump is playing nice for now, but
he can go, you know, rough at any time. So
they want to work out something with to keep deporting
the illegals, the criminal illegals and all that. He wants
the police. Trump wants the police force to be top
notch here in New York, total law enforcement. So if
(14:53):
Mom Donnie, you know, doesn't do the right thing on
either of those, Trump can stop the turn off the
money flow, and Mom Donnie will be in huge financial trouble.
So he agreed to a lot of things. He agreed
not to antagonize Trump. Next year they're gonna have this big,
big budget problem. So that's the reason it all took place.
(15:15):
They got off to a good start. Now Trump can
go nasty at any point if he wants. Mam Donnie
really doesn't have any leverage on this. As Trump said
to Zelenski, you don't have the cards right now. So
Mam Donnie will probably behave most important thing is of
the crime situation. He will leave the police department alone.
(15:36):
We hope that's the one thing he agreed with Trump
on leave the police department alone. Let him clean up
the crime. Anyway, we'll get back to that. We'll get
to the Ukraine. It looks like there's going to be
a peace deal. As crazy as that peace plan was,
as pro Russia as that police plan was. Looks like
they're working something out. You may have an agreement within
a week. Meetings are taking place as we speak. We'll
(16:00):
get to hey. New Year's Eve, they unveiled the new ball.
You know, every fifteen twenty years they do a new ball.
You know, the ball drops on New Year's Eve. It
used to be light bulbs, and it became LEDs and
then when all digital. The new ball, this one is huge.
It's twelve feet in diameter. It's much much, much bigger
(16:23):
than the other balls, be much more visible. It's all circles.
The old one was triangles. It's all circles, so it
can do amazing effects. It's it's on display in times
square if you want to go look at it. Anyway,
we've got a lot to get to. We'll take some calls. Next.

once you get past the holidays, right, Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:51):

the case. It was just simply technicality on how the
prosecutor got appointed. So it does not help. Call me.
He's gonna argue.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
You can't wait to see these people in handcuffs and
see their mug shots for fal Teatian James, call me
to be I'd be so awesome to see these sanctimonias.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
We losen. Yeah, these two lawf Era idiots, but call
me will now argue statute of limitations. So remember that
video he put out the first day of this he said,
I'm ready for a trial. Let's go to trial. Now
he's fighting every technicality not to go to trial. Let's
go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing, Good morning, Mark,
that's Mike.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
I agree if they should be prosecuted, but it's no
less infuriating that they are able to stall these cases.
You know, nobody said anything when Colangelo went to New
York from the DJ to prosecute Trump. I mean, oh,
you know what a shock, you know, in the hush
money case. And not the least of which any two
bit you know, second third court judge can rule on
(19:56):
every you know, every.
Speaker 9 (19:58):
Order that the president may and nobody says anything. And
it's a delay tactic that works because time runs out.
The buck is running on the administration, and so you.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Know, really what this is. It's just they got very
lucky geography wise. If this case were in a normal place,
a normal court, a normal judge, Camy would have a
big problem. But when you do it in Washington, d c.
Or this district in Virginia, where it's really part of Washington,
d C. Or if you do it in New York City,
get a left wing kook, Trump hating judge who will
(20:30):
always rule against anything Trump. That's the problem. So then
if they could get this move to a normal place.
That's why Trump had a easy time in the documents cases.
It went to Florida, we had a normal, neutral, legitimate
judge instead of these left wing kooks. Let's go to
Paul in white Stone. Paul, how you doing, Hey.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Mark, how you doing? You know my Bommy's bringing in.
There's a guy on his transition team focusing on community
safety named Alex Vitally. Alex is a book on college
professor who wants to abolish the police and legalize prostitution.
He doesn't allow any comments on his Facebook posts. I
tried to comment on it. I tried to call his
(21:12):
office at Brooklyn College.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Why why are you calling him?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Because I want to debate him. I want to I
want to change the debate.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Why should you debate him? Why should he debate you?
This guy's a left wing kook professor, that's what he believes.
You're not going to change his mind.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You never know, You got to get you don't give
leave them, leave them alone.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
He's a left wing I'm not going to leave them alone.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
In fact, I'm going to expose his hypocrisy because I
asked Brooklyn college security. Has he has he indicated abolishing
campus security. They said no, we've never had any time.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
All right, but we know what he is. He's a
left wing kook, professor. He's never been out in the
real world, probably never had a real job.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
He's all right, So we should just ignore him instead of.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
There's nothing to expose. We know what he is as
soon as you said, professor Brooklyn, as soon as you
said profess, yes, sir, you know he's a left wing cook.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
But you can't you can't just say, oh, all of
those people are crazy. Now I have given examples of
why that crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
You know they're crazy. Of course they're crazy. We know
they're crazy. All right, you're not going to do anything
about it. Just devote your energy to something more useful
than a crazy kook of a college professor. They're all nuts.
If you want to do something, actually get these colleges
to start hiring normal people instead of just left wing
radical kooks to be the professor's Hey, when we come
(22:31):
back Bill O'Reilly, We'll be with us next on seven
to ten WR.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Mark Simone on.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Hey, Bill O'Reilly, the number one TV anchor for decades,
the number one best selling non fiction author on Earth.
You should get his latest book. It's already a huge bestseller,
Confronting Evil. Fascinating book, Confronting Evil. You can get it
on Amazon or wherever. Make sure you watch this YouTube channel.
You can get the TV show column. Everything's at billoreilly
(23:01):
dot com. Bill Oreilly dot com. Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 10 (23:05):
How you doing getting ready for Thanksgiving? I hear a
rumor you're going to be on one of the floats, amone?
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
No, it's gonna be windy and cold and freezing.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
Have you ever been to one of those parades?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Well, I've been in a few parades, not to Thanksgiving
Day one, but other parades. No, it's kind of strange
marching down the road.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
I had to work it a few times when I
was at Channel two. I just don't know why people
like to see people on floats waving. Do you have
any idea why they like to see that?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
No, I don't know why anybody would stand there for
twelve hours. When you go watch the TV.
Speaker 10 (23:42):
But why do they? Millions of people turn on TV's
is to watch people on floats waving everyone like animal
house and they will destroy each other. That'll be all right,
but I'm not getting it. They are they're waving, so.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
What you know what?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
It's also very generational. This Donald Duck comes by and
every kid goes, who the hell is that? You know?
Speaker 10 (24:05):
They right? How about the rockets? I don't know one
human being who's ever seen the rockets? Do you know
anybody who's ever seen the rockets?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Well, privately I've seen a few, but not the show
left them. So, hey, you're the great historian. The first
Thanksgiving we pictured the beautifully dressed Pilgrims. They came over
in the Wonderful Mayflower. Tell us what really happened back then?
Speaker 10 (24:30):
Well, sixteen twenty two, they're Uni may Flower. Sixty six
days they show up. They think they're in Virginia, but
they're not. They're in Cape cot Oh and it's cold, windy.
But they want off the ship because sixty six days
and they couldn't go on top of the ship. They
(24:52):
had all stayed beneath the deck. And you can imagine
the just the odor alone down there, So they all
want to can't where they were. I just want to
get off the stupid Mayflower. So they row in and
they show up Plymouth. If you go up to Massachusetts,
(25:13):
the town of Plymouth, there's no rock, all right. But
they show up and then they look at each other
and goes, well, what do we do now? Any drive
in restaurants or any door dash It's like, okay, we
have to find food or die. Half of them die,
half of them whoa yeah. Within a year. And I
(25:36):
read about this in Killing the Witches, how this harrowing
voyage and the reason that they had to make it.
And they weren't called pilgrims to one hundred years later
in the nineteenth century they labeled them pilgrims. They were
called separatists or Puritans, and they were very harsh religious people,
and everybody in Europe hated them. The Dutch hated them.
(25:59):
The hated them because they were like fanatics. They're like
the people that come to your door, you know, and
they want to convert you. That's what they were. And
so they somehow survived somehow with the help of the
Native American. A guy named Squanto showed them how to
get food out of the forest, so half of them survived.
(26:21):
But they're all quibbling and yelling at each other in
church for five hours and all of that. So it
wasn't exactly club med there, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So the first Thanksgiving dinner everybody was fighting too, not
just today.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
Well now they had a dinner a courtesy of Squanto
in his a few tribe members, most of the tribe
with white gap by smallpox. And Squanto was an Indian
who was kidnapped by an English sailor and brought the Spain,
learned how to speak English and Spain, and then somehow
(26:58):
got back to Massachusetts. I don't know whether he flew
Jet blue. I don't know how he got back there,
but Squanto was a good guy and helped him out.
So they had a three days celebration where they all
got you know, they weren't supposed to get drunk, but
believe me, they were getting drunk. And they had oysters,
mostly seafood, not turkey, not turkey or you know, mashed potatoes.
(27:24):
It's mostly seafood day ate. But they had a good time.
And then from there the Massachusetts Bay Colony was established.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
So how come, we have to have turkey and stuffing
and all that. Why can't we have seafood?
Speaker 10 (27:38):
Well, a better question is why do we have the
president of the United States pardoning the turkey? Now? I
heard a rumor that Senator Kelly's going to be on
that line. He's going to get partner along with the Kelly,
but I don't think that's true.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Hey, those Congress people with their silly stunt. Although it worked,
it was a pretty good stunt. But we go to
an era of trolling and stunts, and that's how we're
going to do our nation's politics.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
I know.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
It's so ridiculous. And a man, Donnie Trump meaning was
a stunt too. I wrote a column on Billowilly dot
com about this, called a stunt Factor. Yeah. I think
you're right. I think this is the future politics as
you set up this contrived nonsense. But I don't think
this worked out well for the Democrats, the six of
(28:27):
these people. I don't think they gained any currency, except
for the far left cranks. Because even if you don't
like Trump and you're going, why you're undermining the military, now,
is that what you're doing here? If they had a beef,
a legitimate beef of an order that might be beyond
the constitutional authority of the president. I'm willing to listen
(28:51):
to that. But they didn't have anything. They just want
to get on television and wail about how noble they
are with a bunch of garbage.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It was a bold solution for a problem that doesn't
exist and has So.
Speaker 10 (29:06):
The problem is there in a sense that there are
all orders given in every campaign by every president that
are dubious. You imagine being in Theanola gay I wrote
this on the column, and you got to drop the
a bomb on civilians and kill one hundred thousand of them.
I mean, that's still being debated to this day, Harry
Truman's order. But you're in the plane. I think, I
(29:27):
think this is your leg I'm not dropping a bomb.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
No, he can't.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
He can't have that nothing. Come on, so.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Hey, Ukraine. It seemed like a silly kind of a
peace plan, too much in favor of Russia. But it
looks like they've made some progress on it looks like
something could happen.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
What do you think, Well, this is will usually happen.
Some slimeball leaked out the original outline of the peace
deal to the Telegraph newspaper in London. But you know,
any negotiator, if you've everyone in the negotiation in your life,
you always start with craziness. I want this, I want that,
(30:06):
and then you come back to the center. So the
President don't care about any of that. They just report
the league. I don't know exactly how this is going
to come out, but I do know that Russia is
much more powerful than Ukraine. And you know you're getting
all these dispatches from the White House saying, well, we
got this, we got that. I wouldn't count on Putin cooperating.
(30:30):
You know, if you read Confronting Evil and thank you
for mentioning it, a pop, this is a bad guy.
I mean beyond I mean, if you really want evil,
if you really want to understand it, you can read
my book. But you can also look at this Putin.
This guy he enjoys killing women and children. He likes it,
and he can. There's no restraint on him. He's hitler,
(30:53):
he's Stylin. He does what he wants. He's going like
he has to confer with somebody. So I don't get
too optimistic about this thing. And Zelensky has got no
power at all, none and so where is his bargaining position.
He didn't have one.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah, if you want to read an amazing book, Bill
O'Reilly's latest book, Confronting Evil. If you want to really
be stunned, read the Putin chapter. You won't believe this guy.
But also, it's Christmas coming up. People need to get gifts.
What do you have a good deal on your books
for gifts?
Speaker 7 (31:25):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (31:25):
You know, we have a lot of good stuff. Because
I feel bad for working men and women, particularly in
the New York area. We're being gouged every time we
turn around. Fifteen dollars tun of sandwiches now and come on,
you know. So what I did on Bill O'Reilly dot
com Christmas store was we have a bundle of all
(31:46):

a very good price. And these books are in demand.

if you want, but you can give them away. You
save a ton of money on gifts. And I'll sign them.
I can. I signed five thousand books tom and over

the weekend. Wow, five thousand books.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah, people, you don't think, but a book is a
great Christmas gift for somebody perfect.
Speaker 10 (32:16):
Yeah, especially if it's a good book. Yeah, if they
like it. And then we got, you know, the not
woke stuff we got. I have a knot woke matt
in front of my house. I sat a little message.
You know, I don't want to really hear it. I
know we have Christmas ornaments and hats and shirts and
all that stuff. And what this does is it allows
me to give nice Christmas bonuses to my staff. Yeah,
(32:39):
so so everybody, everybody wins here.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
All right, Well we're out of time, but if you
