Start the clock.

Thank you very much, ladies and
gentlemen.

All right.

Thank you.

Oh, please.

Please.

Thanks. Well, I know, I know, I know, I
know. A lot of people are happy today.

The Democrats, we had an off -year
election.

What's more exciting than an off -year
election?

And the Democrats kicked ass. They did.

And they needed a big victory at some
point. I mean, the closest they've come

recently to a victory is Bad Bunny
getting the Super Bowl halftime.

And Californians may be excited about
this. The real big winner

was not on the ballot, Gavin Newsom,
because Gavin Newsom, our governor here,

he's the one who put Prop 50 on the
ballot.

This is the prop we had to get rid of
the fair districting.

Because Trump got all the red states to
do that. So Gavin said we got to fight

fire with fire. And if any state knows
about fire.

Of course, Trump

heard about it. He was livid. He said
the Democrats are trying to unrig this

election.

But hey, you know, California, we're
always on the forefront of shit, right?

are.

But we are losing one of the lions in
the Congress, what lioness Nancy Pelosi

announced. She is not going to run again
after this time.

And we're 85.

It's a touchy age.

But it is.

You're too old for the rigors of another
campaign, and you're too young for the

Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.

But she took it gracefully. She said,
now that New York is socialist, my work

done.

I did New York and socialism.

Oh, yes, New York. That was the big one.

They got Mandani fever.

And Donnie wanted, hey, I got to give it
to him. What a political achievement

that was. And, of course, it was a three
-way race. It helped that his opponents

were Andrew Cuomo, who was dogged by
accusations of sexual harassment, and

Curtis Lewa, who was dogged by
accusations of, we thought you were

Remember, anybody remember Curtis Slater
back in the day when he was always on

the subway with the red beret? Oh, there
he is, the red beret and the satin

jacket. The Gen Zs were like, I don't
know who the fuck this is, but the

is fire.

Speaking of we didn't know you were
dead, Dick

Cheney died.

How many people thought he was dead?
Come on.

Anyway,

the most powerful vice president ever,
many people have said. And also a simple

man who had a simple burial wish. He
said he wanted to be put in the ground

live his dream of slowly turning into
oil.

Oh,

you know who hated him? Trump.

Trump hated Dick Cheney. They asked the
White House for comments on him dying.

You know what they said? We're aware.

I swear to God, we're aware.

But Trump and Cheney, they were very
different kinds of Republicans.

Cheney used to send troops to occupy
other countries.

Who cares about all that shit? What
people are concerned about in this

is the shutdown of the government, the
longest we've ever had, and it is

affecting everybody now, not just the
people who can't get their food stamps

acquire food. It's affecting everybody.
They're going to start canceling

flights.

Have you heard that?

Of course, the good news on that is if
the airports are closed for

you won't have to see your family.

That gets a big run in the courts.

Dick Cheney's dad, boo, that's in my
family.

There is one Thanksgiving tradition that
will continue, we found

out next week. Donald Trump, the
president, will do the traditional

the Thanksgiving turkey.

A little different, this turkey has been
convicted of money laundering.

Anyway, we've got a great show.

Jared Moskowitz from Florida are here.
But first up, he's a recent Country

Hall of Fame inductee with over 37
million albums sold worldwide. His new

is called Heart, Life, Music. Kenny
Chesney is over here.

Hey. How are you?

Great to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Hey, guys. How are you? How are you
doing?

I'm great.

I'm great.

Great.

I'm so glad you wore the big hat. Yeah.
I brought you one.

Thank you.

I'm from New Jersey.

But, you know, we haven't had many
country stars on this show. But I want

know, that's not deliberate.

Tell your people that my people mean no
disrespect by that.

We don't have many musicians. It's a
political show, and I know you're not

political. Well, I mean, that doesn't
mean I don't have my own opinions.

Okay, but we're not going to press you
on those. Okay, great. Unless you want.

No, like, when I was a child, my
grandfather was Democrat, and he worked

in Oak Ridge in East Tennessee.

Wow. And I asked him, I said, are you a
Democrat or a Republican?

And he goes, I'm a Democrat, but I'm
saving up to be a Republican.

So that's a good story. I remember the
same.

Well, but we said if we're going to have
one country star, let's have the one

who's the biggest, because I heard Bill
Board said you were the top country star

of the century.

I don't know how to do the math, but I'm
proud of it.

I mean, that kind of makes you like the
chairman of the board. You're like the

Sinatra of country music. Oh, wow.

Do the other country stars treat you
like that? Do they give you the

differences?

Yeah, I mean, there's a level of respect
there, it seems like.

Yeah, I mean, I've been on the road
since 1993.

I know.

So, and it wasn't, trust me, it wasn't
always this way. There was a lot of

where we would go play a club and they
would have the wrong name on the, there

was a country singer when I first
started named Mark Chestnut.

Okay, and it was pretty good.

And it was great, actually. But when I
started, and I think the promoters did

this on purpose.

I would pull up in the bus, and they
would either have Kenny Chestnut or Mark

Chesney. And it used to drive me crazy.

You know, so it took me a while to
overcome that.

Well, that's one part I really enjoyed
in your book, because I felt I related

it.

beginnings that we had, the shitty gigs,
the shitty apartments, which makes it

when you have something better later in
life. Right. It's just so much. It's so

much. Well, my first apartment, and I
didn't care what it was because all I

wanted to do was write songs.

That's all I wanted to do and be
creative. And that's what I feel like is

biggest gift is the gift of creativity.

But I had, you know, these these
folding.

dinner trays.

That's what my TV was on in my
apartment. And my coffee table was a

I had a second -hand couch and a second
-hand bed. And that was the way it was

for a while. And all I was doing was
writing songs.

And I absolutely,

that's probably the happiest I've ever
been in my life.

To be honest with you.

My bookshelf with cinder blocks and
boards that I found.

You had your brain, though.

Yeah. My mattress I got off the street.

Yeah.

Roaches crawling on my face. Top that.

Another thing we have in common, no
kids.

No, I don't have any kids.

I know you don't. I figured you'd know.

That I know of, you know.

Today, we would know if we did.

Yeah, probably.

But I've been very driven.

I've, yeah.

You know what? But here's the thing,
though. I've never woken up and thought

that I was missing something.

Me neither.

I really haven't. And I have all my
friends, you know, that have, when I

started on the road, and some of them
went with me, they had a family, they

kids, and I would go home to visit my
mother for Christmas.

And I would stop in to see them.

I don't know, I could just tell when I
left that they were talking about me.

You know what I mean? No, I don't. Well,
no, when's Kenny going to grow up?

When's Kenny going to, you know, become
one of us?

Right. So, but then the other part of me
knows that my friends that

I grew up with, they probably wanted to
leave with me.

They did.

They totally did, yeah.

So there's that.

Well, I have to tell you that country
music is something I, because I'm from

Jersey, just wasn't on my radar earlier
in my life. And now I've become quite a

fan, and I want to get your opinion on
this. I think it's more because you guys

changed than I changed.

I mean, you're guitars.

Yeah, relative term. Country guitars.

I mean, you write great music that I
enjoy. And I enjoy a lot of country

now. Because to me, it doesn't sound
like country music. If you switched out

voice, which is with what I would call
the American accent, your accent, not

mine, a lot of these songs could be done
by pop artists.

And I feel like...

We kind of met halfway, and I think the
country should take a lesson. No

question. Yes, I agree with that, too.

But I think when you grew up where I
did, of course, we had country music. I

heard that at my mom's house, my
grandmother's house.

But I also loved Van Halen, and I also
loved Sammy Hagar, and I loved

Tom Petty, and I loved all these great
rock bands. I loved ACDC.

I'm a firm believer, especially now,
because when you become an adult and you

start making music for a living, the
music that comes out of you is a direct

reflection of the music that you soaked
up as a child.

And that's the best way I can explain my
part in what you're talking about.

Because I love it loud out there. I love
a lot of guitars.

And that's just the way we do it.

Thank you.

I learned when I started spending a lot
of time in the Virgin Islands, and I met

a lot of people that grew up very
differently. They had different

beliefs. They had different political
beliefs. And they just didn't look or

like me.

But they became really great friends.

And all of a sudden, I had a circle of
family down there that was very

different. And I realized that I can
make music for them, too.

And that's also why my life kind of
changed, because I wasn't just making

you were talking about. We all we did
kind of meet in the middle.

But before that, I didn't know that it
was OK because I was just trying to fit

certain formula that was working. And
when you're young and you just want to

your songs on the radio and you I wasn't
really I didn't know who I wanted to

be. I wasn't comfortable in my skin at
all.

But as an artist, as a songwriter.

But after that, it all changed.

Yeah, I feel like there's a lot of
people in this country who want to put

in boxes.

Yeah. A lot of identity politics.

That's right. And, like, again, music as
the example to me is, like, it just

doesn't work because we're all mixed
together now. Especially now because...

Jabouzy is a country artist. Yeah, and
God bless him. Yeah, right.

Right, but now we can hear...

whatever we want. Like when I was a kid,
and I don't know what kind of music you

listened to growing up, but you heard
what you heard, what was given to you as

child, either on the radio or your
parents. Right, and none of it was

New York radio did not play. It just did
not exist in my world. But my point is,

today, we can listen to anybody we want,
whenever we want it, on all the

streaming services.

It's much different now. No, and when I
listen to it, I mean, every once in a

while... First of all, I'm just blown
away sometimes by how much it is like

music and the kind of music I like. But
then there's things in it that, oh, you

know, there's something about Jesus or,
you know, familiarity with agriculture.

Yeah. Or, you know. I'm a beach guy.

I'm more of a beach person.

No, but you have some of it. A little
bit, yeah. Your tractor is sexy.

Yeah. Okay, I mean, come on.

That's a fair point. I told Anderson

Cooper one time, interviewed me, and he
goes, he just looked at me, and he goes,

she thinks my tractor's sexy?

I went, mm -hmm.

And I told him, I said, I was smart
enough to record that song, but I was

enough to not record another one.

And I believe that.

Yeah. You could do a Now My Private
Plane is sexy. Yeah.

You still want to try this, but it's
definitely good.

But, you know.

But, you know, whenever one of these
things comes on, it does remind me that

this is different music than I was
listening to. When something about, you

drinking beer and killing fish while
you're... You know, these are things

just... No, my kind of thing. And there
is very often, not just

you, but everybody in your field,
there's Jesus references, which I don't

People think, oh, Bill, you're an
atheist. It doesn't bother me.

Yeah, I'm trying to think if I've had a
Jesus reference.

Oh, yeah. The Lord? Oh, sure.

I promise you. Probably. I mean, I'm
sure over 30 years, his name got

Yeah, absolutely.

You know what I mean?

No, it's... So,

would you do, like, a rap duet?

Would you, like... It would depend on
the song.

Right. It would depend on the... Maybe.

I'm open to just about anything.

I've heard rappers tell me that there's
lots of stuff that's very similar

between the rap world and the country
world.

Well, I did a couple of... I made a lot
of music with Ashton Family Man Barrett,

who was the bass player for the Wailers,
and a lot of those guys that are still

living with Bob.

And I got to know those guys.

I actually was sitting on the North
Shore of Jamaica.

One night, they shot a music video with
me on the North Shore of Jamaica, and I

just sat there and I talked to a family
man, and I was talking to him about his

life growing up in Jamaica and his early
years with Bob Marley, and the

similarities were unbelievable.

And he goes, you know, reggae and
country music tell it like it is, and

tell it uncut. And I agree with that.

Yeah, and it's also very lyrically
driven.

It is very lyrically driven.

I mean, some of them are great, and a
lot of them are just shitty.

They are.

You can't be shitty lyrics in country or
rap. Well, you can.

They're there.

You can, but you won't sell.

Yeah, I mean, they're a little hard to
find. You're pretty clever yourself.

Thank you, Kenny. It was a great thing
to meet you. Have a good time. Say hi to

your people from my people. Say hi to
your people.

Okay. Kenny, let's see.

Let's see our panel.

Okay.

Okay, he anchors a no -spin news show on
YouTube and BillOReilly .com, and is co

-author of the best -selling book, I
think it is 20th best -selling book,

Confronting Evil, Assessing the Worst of
the Worst. Bill O 'Reilly is over here.

What Bill O 'Reilly had.

And he is a Democratic congressman
representing Florida's 23rd District,

Moskowitz. Congressman, great to see
you.

All right, gentlemen.

As I mentioned, we had off -year
elections, so I'm just going to give you

headlines, I think, and then the
takeaway, and you can argue with me or

Headline, I think, that it was not
surprising the Democrats won. The

very surprising. They really kicked ass.
Big numbers, and everywhere.

Not just in the two states where there
were... Okay.

My... Take away from this is if you were
a Republican running on Tuesday, you

had no chance because people wanted to
send a message.

And the message is we just keep asking
for normal and nobody ever gives it to

us. Biden, they didn't think was normal.
He went too far left. Now Trump went

too far the other way. And they were
like, we didn't vote for this bullshit.

didn't vote for you being drunk with
power. We didn't vote for this nasty

We didn't vote for the economy.

going into the theater, which it seems
to be doing.

So can we just have somebody who is
normal?

That, to me, was the most... What do you
think?

Now one of you talk.

Are you not familiar with how we do
this?

I was enthralled. We were entranced.

The reason that the Democrats won is
because people were angry. They are

and not just in the three states and New
York City.

They're angry because there were
promises made by President Trump to

prices and gas prices. Gas prices are
coming down, except in California, where

they tax you $3 a gallon.

But where I live, it's down about 20%,
25%. Probably going to get down a little

bit more because there's a...

a lot of supply of gasoline. But food is
up.

Place where I'm staying in L .A.,
cheeseburger, $36.

I can buy the cow for $36.

$36 for a cheeseburger.

Okay?

So when you're working for a living and
you have to pay these high

prices in the grocery store, you're not
happy.

And excuses walk.

When you're not happy, the incumbency
loses every time, all the way back to

John Adams.

Okay.

Congressman, you want to get in on this?
Well, look, I think the economy

obviously was the driving issue. It's
ironic, actually, because Democrats

what Trump is now doing. We told
everybody for a year the economy was

Bidenomic, things are wonderful. The
stock market, right? We tried that, and

people went to the store and got their
bills, and they saw that was bullshit,

okay? Trump comes in, he runs on the
economy, says he's going to fix it,

Democrats said he was going to take a
bulldozer to democracy. He actually took

bulldozer to the White House, so that
actually happened, okay?

But actually, Trump didn't fix the
economy. Stock market's still high.

the only group, by the way, in consumer
sentiment that people think things are

going well. And he's telling people now.
He's running our playbook. And he's

saying the economy is great. Things are
wonderful. The tariffs are working. And

people, like you said, Bill, they're
going to the store. They're seeing their

sandwich is $30. The bill's coming in.
It's more expensive. Grocery prices,

rent, power, all of it. And so it's
ironic that he's doing the thing we

that didn't work, right? You can tell
people things are great.

But when they go to the store, they can
see that's not the case.

Okay, so let me ask you about the $36
cheeseburger.

Did you order it? No.

Are you kidding? I went to In -N -Out
Burger.

Really? Yeah.

Do you want me to take the con

position to In -N -Out Burger? No, no.

No, but I mean, he's got 20 bestsellers,
and he's what a cheap fuck.

I would just eat the hamburger, but you
know. Listen up. What?

It's not about the money. Oh.

It's the principle of the thing.

You know?

Sure. If every American would rebel.

Okay. Against this kind of gouging, and
not just in food, but everything else.

Prices have to come down. Well, that's
what I just want to ask.

Somebody has to explain the economy to
me, because this is going to be the big

issue. Absolutely.

Somebody went in New York, and look, I
don't want to, I've spoken against him.

He was not my choice, Mandami, Mandani,
sorry.

He's a socialist, a democratic
socialist, makes no bones about that. In

when he came out, he said, I'm young.

Made a funny joke about that. I'm Muslim
and I'm socialist. All the things that

Obama had to deny being.

Abigail Spanberger.

She's one of the ones who won yesterday,
big, in Virginia, okay? She said, after

the last election, we need to not ever
use the word socialist or socialism ever

again.

So this is a pretty big split in the
party.

And I understand why people are angry
about the economy, especially in New

And yet, just had Kenny Chesney here. I
don't know what his ticket prices are,

but I know what typical ticket prices
are that people are paying. And not just

billionaires. Taylor Swift's average
ticket price is over $4 ,000.

But other ones, average ticket price is
$500, $600, $700.

Or a baseball game.

Or a basketball.

Explain this economy.

How some people are eating $36
cheeseburgers. They don't do what you

Not you. We know that. You're fewer.

And other people are voting for
socialism. And I understand why they're

for socialism. Because they can't even
make ends meet. And they're worried

eating at all.

How do we get the economy back to
something that looks like what I

normal as a kid?

Look, it's a supply and demand country.

Now, Mandani doesn't want that. He's not
a socialist. He's a communist.

Okay? Mandani's greatest quote is,

I agree with seizing the means of
production.

That's communism.

That's not socialism.

Because in order to seize something, you
have to use force.

And that's what the communists do.

So it's supply and demand. And I'm going
on a jihad, to please Mandani,

of telling people don't buy anything
that you feel is exploitative. You don't

have to go to see Taylor Swift. You can
pirate it on social media. You can steal

it. All right?

Let's do a little Abbie Hoffman here.

Let's liberate.

But that's not answering my question.
How can capitalism be working so well

so many people? Again, it's not just
billionaires going to these concerts.

millions and millions of people who seem
to be living these kind of lives.

And other people it's not working for at
all. When you're 30 years old and you

still have roommates, yes.

Capitalism has failed you. And the
question to me is, how do we make

seem unattractive? Because you're right.

Socialism doesn't work.

What the young people, I understand
where their feelings are. They refuse to

crack a book and learn that we've tried
it many, many times.

It never works. Would you agree with
that?

Well, yeah. And look, what's going on
now has a lot to do with... social media

and being addicted to being online,
which happened a lot during COVID when

people were stuck in their houses and
just stuck on their devices, right?

where kids are getting their
information. I have a nine and a 12

right? And it's TikTok, it's Instagram,
that's where their information is coming

from. And there are foreign powers.

working on these devices and these
platforms, trying to sell this stuff to

kids on all sorts of topics.

But what I would say is, by the way,
while you're talking about seizing the

means of production, I mean, Trump did
take a 10 % stake into Intel.

I'm not defending Mamdani. I'm a
capitalist. I'm just saying, you know,

the Secretary of Defense saying we
should start taking percentages of our

defense companies out there.

But look.

Trump got elected because people were
angry in this country.

part of the party was angry and he got
elected and that he was their medicine.

And they didn't care about all of the
baggage he had because they were that

pissed off. And I think that's what's
happening with Mamdani.

Our wing of the party now is pissed.

They're angry that Joe Biden ran for
reelection. They're angry that, you

the debate went so poorly. They're angry
that, you know, we didn't have a

primary. And they're angry that the
establishment doesn't seem to get it.

this is the message to us.

that Republicans were sending with
Donald Trump to their own establishment.

And so, you know, Bernie Sanders has
been a socialist for a long time, so

socialism in our party is not new.

This is just a new face. He's
charismatic. You've talked a lot about

charisma. But do you want to have to...
I mean, they call themselves democratic

socialists. I think they should drop the
democratic part, because that means

that you...

have to answer for everything the
socialists do. And he's plainly, maybe

communist, maybe he's... It's very far
left, whatever it is. It's not what

seen before. And Republicans are trying
to do that. They're trying to make me

and others answer for everything he
does. What's weird is, like, I don't

remember Eric Adams being the head of
the Democratic Party or Michael

being the head of the Republican Party,
but Republicans are trying to make him

now the head of the party. Because those
guys weren't as out of the mainstream

of the Democratic Party as he is, but
they're trying to make that the

mainstream.

The question you're going to get, and
you should get it, and I'm going to give

it to you. Let's go.

Where do you eat hamburgers? No.

In -N -Out. I like In -N -Out.

Should this be the direction the party
is going to? He's not the only

socialist. There's about 100 in
different offices and places where

in this country.

I mean, here's a Mandami quote from his
speech. He said, we will prove that

there is no problem too large for
government to solve.

Yeah. Wait till they get to the
government. I can tell Bill O 'Reilly

that's ridiculous. It's so crazy.

Look, first of all, he won because he
was running against Bela Lugosi, all

right?

I told Andrew Cuomo, why did you
campaign with a cape on turned into a

The guy was as dour as possible. I mean,
that is a good campaigner. I mean, the

guy was smiling.

You know, when he's going to come to
your house and take your stuff, he's

to smile.

Thank you for the couch.

Bring it on out. Tonight, let's give him
a week, okay?

I've been critical. Let's give him a
week to say just congratulations.

On a political level, it was quite an
achievement. I'd like him to do this

So many other Democrats, and I vote
Democratic, and they still won't come on

here. He seems to say he has balls.

Let's see it. You can't deal with me,
but...

You know what? I like your programs.

And you are disenchanted, and correct me
if I'm wrong, which I very rarely am,

so you probably won't have to do that.

You're disenchanted with the far left
wing of the Democratic Party, okay?

Because you believe that it's poisoned
the well for everybody else, like the

congressman here. Am I correct? Because
they never meant anything that... was

counterintuitive that they didn't love.
Right. So they want to put trans people

in here and they want to do this. And it
just dilutes the message that the

Democratic Party has traditionally had
that we're for the workers.

We want to improve the lives of the
backbone of the country. Now you're into

this fringe garbage that Americans don't
want.

I think that's your posture.

I wouldn't put it that way, but go
ahead. Okay.

But you might want to rethink because
that's a good way to put it.

Well, I'm still on the air and you're
not, but go ahead.

I expected that.

So we did a town hall on News Nation two
weeks ago from Kennedy Center. Twenty

three million people watched. Twenty
three million. OK.

You can add up all the HBOs you want.
You're not going to come close. You just

want to correct the record.

I have a tape measure of anyone.

I will check those facts. Yeah, you
check it.

Lidmore and I go at it. People love
this.

I'll drink the water.

This is going to be social media heaven.

We're actually related.

We're actually cousins, remember?

We're distant cousins. Remember when I
had the thing done by Skip Gates? He did

a great show on PBS. On PBS, which I
think is out of business because the

government won't fund it anymore.

I'm at a family gathering.

I'm at a family gathering.

We like you.

But anyway, both parties, not just the
Democratic Party, both

parties have just gone completely away
from why they were founded.

Yes, both.

There's no doubt about it.

There's no doubt about it. So now you
have to accept the reality of where we

live. And if you're going to vote for a
guy like Ma 'am Donnie, you're going to

be severely disappointed because what's
going to happen in New York City is that

social order is going to collapse
because the police hate him. All right,

let's see what happens for the moment.
But that's not going to take a week.

Okay.

Let me introduce this issue, because I
almost didn't want to talk about this

person because he's so gross.

But it's such a big issue this week, and
we're going to talk about it after I do

this bit.

But this guy, Nick Fuentes, I don't know
if you've ever heard of him. If you

haven't, I mean, I have. I know he had
dinner with Trump at one point, and

is, I don't know him. I have my picture
taken with a lot of people.

But I would call a racist, racist.

He's just a troll.

He's the guy who runs on the field at a
baseball game.

So you don't take the picture of him,
but we kind of have to talk about him.

Does that mean we can beat him up?

I would like to. That's what happens
when you run on the field with a

He's what they call a groiper. I looked
into this. It's like this group of

people on 4chan, you know, the Internet,
which makes everything worse.

And they are, like, pointlessly
politically incorrect.

They were doing it just to troll. They
would say the worst sort of awful things

or things you don't even understand.

But it's working. He once said, having
sex with a woman is gay and having sex

with a man is gay.

Okay, I don't know where you go with
that.

And then they kind of started to believe
it. So we thought it would be a good

week to do 24 things you need to know or
you don't know about Nick Valente.

For example...

I'm in a racist acapella group called
Boys in the Hood.

My drag queen name is Jan Six.

I once beat Elon Musk in a high law.

I'm not gay, but a guy I'm fucking is.

I once called ICE to report on the part
of me that's Mexican.

Kanye once asked me if I was off my
meds.

My followers are called Gripers, but
will also accept vaginal kryptonite.

I caught the Super Bowl because of Bad
Bunny. Also because my parents' basement

doesn't have a TV.

My mom free -based Tylenol when she was
pregnant with me.

And I'm against interracial marriage,
but I wouldn't say no to a weekend in

Nuremberg with Candace Owens.

This is the biggest deal in Republican
politics with me. If you didn't see what

happened, this guy, this asshole, gave
an interview with Tucker Carlson, who

Tucker Carlson used to be the guy in the
bow tie.

Tucker Carlson was like the old school
kind of country club Republican. And

he became, I don't know what, he's like
the world's oldest groiper.

Because he started having on Holocaust
deniers.

He started to be the, I'm just asking
questions guy, questions like, who do

think was the good guys in World War II?
You know, really stupid questions, but

he's just asking questions.

So now we had on this guy, this 20s guy,
and never challenged him. Then the

American Heritage Foundation got
involved. They're the people behind, I

the Project 2025, the Heritage
Foundation. They're a very big

And the head of the Heritage Foundation
came out.

And he attacked the people who were
attacking Tucker Carlson for giving him

friendly interview.

This guy, Kevin Roberts, head of the
Heritage Foundation, he said, well, we

shouldn't attack Carlson. When we
disagree with a person's thoughts and

opinions, we challenge those ideas in
debate.

Except Kevin Roberts, whoever the fuck
you are, that's not what Tucker Carlson

did. He didn't challenge him. So now
there's this war in the Republican

And I want to ask two questions about
that and then about which party seems to

be having a bigger problem with anti
-Semitism. Because it seems like both

parties now have an anti -Semitic wing.

Is that a wrong assessment?

No, that's a right assessment.

I mean, it's like asking Jews, like,
where would you rather go back to,

or Egypt? Like, both places are bad.

As a Democrat who's been pro -Israel,
right, I've had Republicans coming up to

me for years saying, how could you stay?
How could you stay? And I would say,

well, if I leave, I accelerate the
problem. But also this problem is coming

direction. And they would say, no, it's
not. You have no idea what you're

talking about. And I would say, no, it's
a virus and it's spreading.

And the problem with Nick Fuentes is
that like when I grew up and my

would talk to me about Nazis, she was
part of the Kindertransport out of

Germany. You would watch TV shows.

Nazis were boring.

They had no charisma.

They weren't entertaining.

And Nick Fuentes is not that. He
actually has made it entertaining.

He's selling it online.

Okay, you watch Candace Owens, and
she'll say something like, you know, and

whataboutism that Tucker and who do.
Like, I'm just looking at it and

about it. Like, oh, yeah, Hitler killed,
you know, six million Jews, but he was

a wonderful painter, you know. And
they're, like, very creative, loved

you know. And they'll do this thing.
And, like, you know, Tucker will just

I'm just asking questions.

I'm just asking questions. I thought
Winston Churchill was one of the heroes

World War II, but Tucker had a whole
episode on how he was the bad guy.

And so they're rewriting history for
these kids that follow this stuff

But if I may, it does seem like the
entire Republican establishment lined up

against this.

I'm not sure you could say that about
the Democratic establishment. I mean,

Cruz... You know, we've had on this show
and I certainly have had my

differences, but I'm glad to talk to
everybody on this show. He was very good

this. He said the danger I want to
highlight tonight is anti -Semitism. In

last six months, I've seen it on the
rise in a way I've never seen it before

the right.

Here's the interesting thing I thought
he said. He said about a decade ago,

-Semitism began rising on the left and
the Democratic Party did nothing.

And the decade that followed, it has
consumed the Democratic Party.

I'm not so sure he's not right about
that. I'm not so sure the Democratic

politicians are more afraid to challenge
their left, who think Hamas is

terrific, than the Republicans are.

No, no, Ted Cruz is right. I agree 100 %
with Ted Cruz. Wow. Okay, the

difference is they have hindsight.

They saw what happened to us, and our
party has been consumed by it. People

would say, look, you could be anti
-Zionist without being anti -Semitic,

would say, theoretically, you could.
They're just not.

When you're holding signs on college
campuses saying, go back to Poland, that

doesn't sound like anything to do with
Israel. When you see a Jewish student

walking on campus, you don't know that
he's a Netanyahu supporter, but they

surrounding him because he had a Jewish
star.

Right. And so this has consumed us and
it is dividing us in elections. It is

through the whole party. We have tried
to not talk about it. We've tried to

it down, but it is everywhere.

It is moving swiftly.

OK, and now it's starting on the right.
And so there are years behind us.

And, yes, they're now trying to muscle
their forces, but if you go online and

you listen to, you know, Dave Smith or
Theo Vaughn or Tucker or Rogan, it's all

over them. And so it's happening to
them, too, now. Well, they're behind

and they were also ahead of you.

Anti -Semitism used to be the Ku Klux
Klan and Henry Ford back in the day.

Bill, thoughts on Jews?

No, but all my business people are
Jewish, and they do a great job.

Oh, how wonderful.

We have a personal connection,
perspective from O 'Reilly, and I know

looking forward to that more.

Number one, you've been doing this show
for about 23 years, right? Yeah.

Did you invite Fuentes on a program?

No. Why?

That's a bridge too far for me. Okay.
That's a troll.

He's not sincere.

It's just gross.

Like I said, I didn't even want to talk
about him tonight. He's the guy who runs

on the field. You have to talk about
him. The camera doesn't show. Because he

broke through. But you have to talk
about him. So you didn't invite him on a

program. I don't live in that world. I
didn't invite him on my program.

You can get somebody like him at
Speaker's Corner in London anytime you

Right. They're wandering around with
wine.

Okay. So why would you have him and
waste all of these nice people's time?

That's number one.

The answer is because the Republican
establishment never met something so

far right that they won't, at least some
of them, take it seriously. The

Republican establishment couldn't care
less about this guy. Well, they could

this week. No. They don't care about
him. They are embarrassed by him. Yes.

they don't care about him, and they
don't embrace him, and he doesn't mean

anything to them. They just want to get
him under the table.

So you wouldn't put them on, I wouldn't
put them on. And that destroys the

argument, well, everybody's entitled,
you know, we just want to debate, and

that's always the rationale.

Okay, well, we just want to hear, you
know, that's freedom of speech, that's

Constitution. That's bull.

You put people on, okay, who are
responsible people.

That's our job, all right, as anchors,
moderators. If you're irresponsible,

why would you put them on?

That's insulting to the people who are
watching. So that's wipes out any

Fuentes. All right. Now, as far as anti
-Semitism is concerned, I'm doing a big

commentary on YouTube tomorrow, which
millions of people will watch.

I need something. I need something to
plug. Should I talk about my reelection?

And I'm going to tell you about anti
-Semitism in America and all over the

world. It's not that big a problem in
America, all right? I know, and I

your dissent.

But any kind of anti -Semitism or anti
-black or anti -Hispanic or anti -gay

blows up immediately on social media.

But if you go and travel the country,
people aren't going, I hate those Jews.

They're not.

OK, this is a very select crew in the
Democratic Party. It's the progressive

left. It hates Israel, thinks Israel's
fascist, stole the land. Harry Truman is

evil, forgiving Israel. They fully
bought into the narrative of oppressor

oppressed. And if you were on the wrong
side of that, if you were white or Asian

or a Jew, you are bad. You are
oppressed. We let it happen. I mean, you

happening on TikTok.

You saw it happening online.

And we let it happen. And we let our
kids just absorb this stuff without... I

didn't. I don't know how old your kids
are. Okay, no.

They're 22 and 26. But that would not
have been acceptable on any level. I got

it. But let me... Because you asked a
good question about the Republicans and

the right, okay?

The Republican Party is very pro
-Israel. Trump is very, very, very

protective of the Jewish people. So the
fringe, crazy element,

like the Fuentes, and you can throw 10
other names, all of whom live on social

media, all of them live there.

They don't represent anything other than
trying to get clicks and trying to make

money. often hatred. That's what they
represent.

No party, no ideology other than
themselves.

And they're vile, evil people. Okay,
speaking of evil, great segue, Bill. We

only have a couple of minutes, but I
want to plug your book.

Your book, Confronting Evil.

And, you know, you have all these people
who, I read it, all these people who

you identify as evil.

Caligula, Genghis Khan, Hitler, Putin,
drug cartels.

You know, we're not trying to kill the
lily here. These are actual evil people.

Dick Cheney died this week. A lot of
people said he was evil. Would he make

book, is Dick Cheney evil?

No. No. That's ridiculous. Not on the
level of the evil of the book.

Look. How would you explain Dick Cheney
to the kids who are watching, who

weren't around when Dick Cheney was vice
president? I don't know if there are

any kids watching, but if you are, grow
up straight.

All right?

Dick Cheney.

I know. That's how you know Bill is not
online.

Dick Cheney.

Every human being does evil things.

That's number one.

But that doesn't make you evil.

The people that I write about in
Confronting Evil, their whole lives were

dedicated to evil. If you do evil
things, you're not evil?

If you do an evil thing, you're a
sinner, and we're all sinners, and we're

Sinning is different than evil, I feel.
I feel like I've sinned, certainly. I

can't think of anything I would
categorize as evil.

I hate to say this, but you're not evil,
Mark.

But I hate to say it. I know. I'm not
evil. Exactly. That's what I'm saying.

Because I haven't done evil things. But
I think if you have done evil things, I

think you're evil.

But it's so interesting how our politics
have moved since Dick Cheney. Like,

there are Democrats who would love
George W. Bush to return.

Right. Right, with that administration
based on what we have, because things

have moved so quickly. Dick Cheney's
story is interesting. They used to call

Darth Vader. That was his name. But,
like, if you know the story of Darth

in the sixth episode, He throws the
emperor down the shaft to save his son.

And Dick Cheney actually did that
towards the end to protect his daughter

Trump. Yes. Right. I mean, he voted for
the Democrat in the last election

because he couldn't stand what Trump was
doing in January 6th. And I have a

whole list to here. I know I'm time
because the show's over to read all

Republicans who denounced January 6th
when it happened. And now they work for

the president or has certainly forgotten
it.

Dick Cheney, maybe he got a little
something back with the big man.

Wink, wink. All right. Time for New
Rule.

All right.

Okay.

New Rule.

Sushi chefs have to stop yelling, when I
enter their restaurant. If I wanted to

get yelled at at the moment I walk in
the door, I'd get married.

It may be normal in Japan, but in
America, we only scream in restaurants

ICE is arresting the kitchen staff.

No,

we'll stop hating on Sidney Sweeney for
having great tits.

Okay.

Yes, this was a power of women event,
and tits are powerful.

Or she wouldn't be talking about them so
much. And if you had hers, you'd show

them too.

Everybody uses what they have while they
have it. So good for her for

recognizing that. Because we know she
won't be wearing this dress in 20 years

unless it's to the SAG Awards.

Don't expect an outpouring of grief over
the death of Dwayne Robert, the

inventor of the frozen burrito.

Dwayne wasn't always what he seemed. He
was warm on the outside, but...

On the inside, he could be very

cold.

Fortunately, his legacy will live on
every time a divorced guy has custody of

the kids for dinner.

New rule of all the ways Americans are
lazy, let's all admit the worst, has got

to be not having the stamina to say,
rest in peace without a breathing idiot.

R .I .P.? This is my tombstone, not a
text message.

You know what?

Fuck it. Don't knock yourself out
writing out an R and an I and a P. Just

me and put this on my grave.

Now that Japanese researchers have
developed a technique called entereal

ventilation, where people with serious
lung conditions can breathe through

rectum.

They have to promise to tell me who
these people are, because the next time

on a plane and the oxygen masks drop, I
don't want to be next to the guy

who sticks it up his ass, okay?

rule, the Supreme Court has to recognize
that they have one last chance to not

look like a bunch of partisan hacks who
are no different than the other two

branches of government.

This week, the court is hearing about a
case that will definitively tell us if

they really are still a separate branch
of government or whether when the

founders said you are a check on
executive power, they thought it meant a

check because their recent past has been
kind of shaky.

For example, in May and June of this
year, on issues like withholding money,

Congress specifically authorized, and
suspending due process for non

federal district courts ruled against
the current administration in 82 out of

cases. But at the Supreme Court,
President Trump is on a 17 -case winning

streak, which is funny because during
the Biden years, the court was all about

reining in presidential power.

Biden was constantly asking for leeway
on issues like vaccine mandates,

regulating carbon, canceling student
debt. And the court was constantly

him, sorry, Joe, we checked the rules
and no, the president alone doesn't have

that power.

But when Trump's lawyers asked if he had
absolute immunity, so absolute that he

could even use SEAL Team 6 to
assassinate political enemies, they

we to judge? You do you.

And the president has taken full
advantage of that.

You know, there's a reason, Mr.
President, so many people these days are

you act like a king.

It's why for Halloween this year, I went
as you.

See, I'm dressed as a king, but still
got the long red tie.

Trump once said, I have an Article 2
where I have the right to do whatever I

want as president, but I don't even talk
about that.

Well, you just did talk about it.

But more importantly, that's not what
Article 2 says.

And allowing any one branch of
government to do whatever they want is

much the exact opposite of the basic
meaning of the Constitution.

The case that's before the court now is
about tariffs, which are boring.

but which are plainly a kind of tax, and
taxes is plainly something the

Constitution says only Congress can
levy, as opposed to Trump's argument

can set any tax on whoever, at whatever
level, by the power of truth social, as

the framers intend.

Even if the reason is, Canada hurt my
feelings, or this Brazilian dude is a

fan.

Woke people once changed the meaning of
the word violence to things I don't

like.

Trump's word for things I don't like is
emergency.

He's declared nine of them. Nine
emergencies.

Officially, he's never not freaked the
fuck out.

And his emergency weapon of choice, his
all -purpose cudgel for everything, is

tariffs. And sometimes tariffs do work
with good results, like ending wars.

and stopping fentanyl from coming in.
So, some people say, well, you can't

with results.

Yes, actually you can, if the price is
too high. And utterly ignoring the

Constitution is a price too high.

The Constitution, is it still a real
thing, or is it just

a vibe now?

The Supreme Court has to decide, are you
going to be democracy's last line of

defense, or is the Constitution now
really, let's be honest, just like the

Bible?

Just a sacred old text that everyone
name -drops with reverence, but no one

actually reads, or even feels bad about
ignoring.

I mean, that's what we do with the
Bible, isn't it? We just ignore stuff

still pretending it's the greatest book
ever.

Even the devout don't take it literally.
The Bible plainly says, if you see your

neighbor working on Sunday, kill him.

But you rarely hear about a guy actually
saying, Bob, I saw you last weekend

answering emails out by the pool. I'm
going to have to come over there later

kill you.

And yet it's still the book we put our
hand on in court, because how better to

signal that you're sane and honest than
to be clutching the thing that is

undeniably, incontrovertibly pro
-slavery.

Both Testaments, the old dude in the sky
and his hippie son,

both have many commandments and
pronouncements about slavery, and none

are, don't do it.

Thing is, the Constitution.

is pro -slavery too.

But the difference between science and
faith is, with the Constitution, we

amend it, and did.

I... I could

live with the Bible and its Bronze Age
nonsense as long as we also had the

greatest document from the Age of
Enlightenment.

But now I fear they're both.

Like a hot dog. Something Americans
love, but they don't know what's in it,

they don't care.

They're like iPhone user agreements
written in parchment.

Things to carry around, but not to read.

Conservatives love their little tiny
pocket constitutions. They all carry

And you'd think, Being so tiny, it would
inspire them to open it.

You know, read me. Look, I'm so tiny.
How long could it take?

Well, if you say you love this thing,
but you don't obey it, you've never

read it, and you don't even care what's
in it, it's not the law anymore.

It's just another Bible.

gentlemen. Thank you, panel. That's our
